There are many problems around us need to be solved by human agents. It is very challenging to persuade people to change behavior implicitly, especially for solving public problems. We leverage persuasive mechanism for increasing incentives to change human behavior in a problem solving framework. By linking feedback to the actions, we’ve been able to increase the incentives to trigger behavior ...

The British Student Doctor Journal is a high quality, open access, biannual, peer-reviewed, general medical journal, which publishes articles written primarily by students. In addition to publishing original research and systematic reviews, we also provide platform students express thought reflections on clinical practice, student life education.All of our content fully available without subscr...

Although feedback from interface agents has recently attracted increasing research attention, most studies emphasize the cognitive influences. Thus, the effect of each feedback type on student perception remains unclear. This study focuses on three types of feedback from interface agents to clarify student perception of single feedback and combinations of feedback types. An empirical study of 4...

For circuit designing, it is very important to calculate the dc operating points. It is known that if the circuit contains positive feedback loops such as ipop and negative resistance circuits, it may happened to have many dc solutions. It is very di cult to nd all of the solutions for these circuits. In this paper, we show a very simple Spice oriented Newton homotopy method which can e ciently...

We address problems of debt, virtuality, and destructive feedback in the Russian economy. Official data fails to reflect reality. Much of the advice by reformers was flawed in that it ignored the importance of market. A positive feedback cycle of arrears, barter, and non-competitiveness evolved. Feedback systems are critical to market economies generally. Contagion from Asia was merely the trig...
