English: An important negative feedback mechanism in human beings is the ability to maintain body temperature. When the body temperature is too high or too low, the blood vessels will change size accordingly to bring the body’s temperature back to normal.
A simple negative feedback system is descriptive, for example, of some electronic amplifiers. The feedback is negative if the loop gain AB is negative.. Negative feedback (or balancing feedback) occurs when some function of the output of a system, process, or mechanism is fed back in a manner that tends to reduce the fluctuations in the output, whether caused by changes in the input or by ...
Thus, a positive feedback loop is formed, which continues until the negative feedbacks bring the system to equilibrium. [ 7 ] : 969 Increases in atmospheric water vapor have been detected from satellites , and calculations based on these observations place this feedback strength at 1.85 ± 0.32 m 2 /K.

The CLAW hypothesis proposes a negative feedback loop that operates between ocean ecosystems and the Earth's climate. [1] The hypothesis specifically proposes that particular phytoplankton that produce dimethyl sulfide are responsive to variations in climate forcing, and that these responses act to stabilise the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere.
Behavioral thermoregulation takes precedence over physiological thermoregulation since necessary changes can be affected more quickly and physiological thermoregulation is limited in its capacity to respond to extreme temperatures. [33] When the core temperature falls, the blood supply to the skin is reduced by intense vasoconstriction. [17]
The decrease in Joule heating will cause the device to return to its equilibrium temperature. This is known as negative electrothermal feedback, as the change in Joule heating opposes the change in temperature. If the device is instead biased with a constant current I, the Joule power P = I 2 R will increase if the temperature increases. Thus ...
Perceptual control theory (PCT) is a model of behavior based on the properties of negative feedback control loops. A control loop maintains a sensed variable at or near a reference value by means of the effects of its outputs upon that variable, as mediated by physical properties of the environment.
