The starburst-AGN coexistence in local (U)LIRGs makes these galaxies excellent laboratories for the study of stellar and AGN outflows and feedback. Outflows regulate star formation and AGN activity, redistributing gas, dust and metals over large scales in the interstellar and intergalactic media (negative feedback) being also considered to be able to undergo vigorous star formation (positive fe...

this study aimed at investigating the effect of learners’ gender on their preferences for corrective feedback. learners’ prefer- ences which were investigated included the necessity, frequency, timing, type, method, and delivering agent of error treatment. to this end, a questionnaire was administered to a random sample of 100 participants (50 males and 50 females) studying english (efl) at shi...

introduction: feedback is very important in education and can help quality in the training process and orient the trainees in clinical contexts. this study aimed to assess the residents’ points of view about feedback in clinical education at shiraz university of medical sciences. methods: the sample of this study included 170 medical residents attending medical workshops in shiraz university of...

We perform a comprehensive study of stability of a pumped atom laser in the presence of pumping, damping, and outcoupling. We also introduce a realistic feedback scheme to improve stability by extracting energy from the condensate and determine its effectiveness. We find that while the feedback scheme is highly efficient in reducing condensate fluctuations, it usually does not alter the stabili...

recent interaction studies havefocused on the relationship between interactional feedback and l2 development.despite the large body of knowledge in this regard, few studies have examinedlearners’ preferences for interactional feedback. besides, different findingshave been reported concerning learners’ preferences for feedback and none hasexamined the factors accounting for the variation in the ...

In this paper we discuss a simple but comprehensive form of feedback to essay authors, based on a thesaurus and computer graphics, which enables the essay authors to see where essay content is inadequate in terms of the discussion of the essay topic. Concepts which are inadequately covered are displayed for the information of the author so that the essay can be improved. The feedback is automat...

since the emergence of the process-oriented approach in second language writing instruction, the issues of writing instruction have been predominantly concerned with what and how error feedback should be given to the students’ writing. the present study investigated the effect of explicit corrective feedback on writing accuracy of iranian intermediate efl learners (n = 44) in hamedan islamic az...

This paper articulates three main challenges for employing feedback control with humans in the loop. They are: (i) the need for a comprehensive understanding of the complete spectrum of the types of human-in-the-loop controls, (ii) the need for extensions to system identification or other techniques to derive models of human behaviors, and (iii) most importantly, determining how to incorporate ...

In order to provide comprehensive listening behavior, virtual humans engaged in dialogue need to incrementally listen, interpret, understand, and react to what someone is saying, in real time, as they are saying it. In this paper, we describe an implemented system for engaging in multiparty dialogue, including incremental understanding and a range of feedback. We present an FML message extensio...
