  2. Scientific control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_control

    The simplest types of control are negative and positive controls, and both are found in many different types of experiments. [2] These two controls, when both are successful, are usually sufficient to eliminate most potential confounding variables: it means that the experiment produces a negative result when a negative result is expected, and a ...

  3. Density dependence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_dependence

    Within the life-cycle stages taking place in the host, density-dependence may influence the development of microfilariae and host life expectancy. [7] In reality, combinations of negative (restriction) and positive (facilitation) density-dependent processes occur in the life cycles of parasites. However, the extent to which one process ...

  4. Control coefficient (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_coefficient...

    Control coefficients can have both negative and positive values. A negative value indicates that the observable in question decreases as a result of the change in enzyme activity. It is important to note that control coefficients are not fixed values but will change depending on the state of the pathway or organism. If an organism shifts to a ...

  5. Perceptual control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_control_theory

    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.

  6. Perceived control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceived_control

    Avoiding – Primary-Negative Control; Avoiding, according to Bryant, is defined as “the perceived ability to avoid negative outcomes”. It is dependent on (1) the degree of personal control over bad things, (2) the frequency with which bad things occur, and (3) the likelihood of bad things occurring. Coping – Secondary-Negative Control

  7. Translational regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translational_regulation

    The corresponding mechanisms are primarily targeted on the control of ribosome recruitment on the initiation codon, but can also involve modulation of peptide elongation, termination of protein synthesis, or ribosome biogenesis. While these general concepts are widely conserved, some of the finer details in this sort of regulation have been ...

  8. Framing effect (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framing_effect_(psychology)

    The framing effect is a cognitive bias in which people decide between options based on whether the options are presented with positive or negative connotations. [1] Individuals have a tendency to make risk-avoidant choices when options are positively framed, while selecting more loss-avoidant options when presented with a negative frame.

  9. Negative feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_feedback

    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 ...
