Once the prion is transmitted, the defective proteins invade the brain and are produced in a self-sustaining feedback loop.

The concept of the feedback loop to control the dynamic behavior of the system: this is negative feedback, because the sensed value is subtracted from the desired value to create the error signal, which is amplified by the controller.

It is from this feedback that the paradigm of the control loop arises: the control affects the system output, which in turn is measured and looped back to alter the control.

A simple feedback control loop

The numerator is the forward ( open-loop ) gain from r to y, and the denominator is one plus the gain in going around the feedback loop, the so-called loop gain.

In 1963 Friedman and Schwartz proposed a positive feedback loop as a mechanism for catastrophic failures in economics: “ It happens that a liquidity crisis in a unit fractional reserve banking system is precisely the kind of event that trigger-and often has triggered-a chain reaction.

The complementary dualistic concept in Taoism represents the reciprocal interaction throughout nature, related to a feedback loop, where opposing forces do not exchange in opposition but instead exchange reciprocally to promote stabilization similar to homeostasis.

In particular, Hofstadter claims that our sense of having ( or being ) an " I " comes from the abstract pattern he terms a " strange loop ", which is an abstract cousin of such concrete phenomena as audio and video feedback, and which Hofstadter has defined as " a level-crossing feedback loop ".

The most common form of linear oscillator is an electronic amplifier such as a transistor or op amp connected in a feedback loop with its output fed back into its input through a frequency selective electronic filter to provide positive feedback.

Feedback oscillator circuits can be classified according to the type of frequency selective filter they use in the feedback loop:

However, it was also argued that muscular tension resulting from holding down buttons could be exploited in user interface design as it gives constant feedback that the user is in a temporary state, or mode ( Buxton, 1995 ).

Employing typical coaching techniques can be broken down into four main elements: ( 1 ) a one-on-one relationship, ( 2 ) monitoring the coachee ’ s performance and other work-relevant behaviors, ( 3 ) setting goals based on the behaviors monitored, and ( 4 ) providing feedback throughout the relationship.

The engineer can then turn down frequency on a band equalizer preventing feedback at that pitch but allowing maximum volume.

A negative feedback loop slows down a process, tending to promote stability.

One of the corollaries of the Schmitt trigger's use of positive feedback is that, should the input voltage move gently down again past the same threshold, the positive feedback will hold the output in the same state with no change.

Another way that an inverted pendulum may be stabilized, without any feedback or control mechanism, is by oscillating the support rapidly up and down.

Also, owing to the large and active user community providing feedback and contributing to its features, Nmap has been able to extend its discovery capabilities beyond simply figuring out whether a host is up or down and which ports are open and closed ; it can determine the operating system of the target, names and versions of the listening services, estimated uptime, type of device, and presence of a firewall.

Using an image of a thumb ( up, down, or neutral ), participants received feedback on how much money they gained or lost.

Sound engineers take several steps to maximize gain before feedback, including ensuring that directional microphones are not pointed towards speakers, keeping the onstage volume levels down, and lowering gain levels at frequencies where the feedback is occurring, using a graphic equalizer, a parametric equalizer, or a notch filter.

GCs are part of the feedback mechanism in the immune system that turns immune activity ( inflammation ) down.

Users can also provide feedback ( thumbs up / thumbs down ) on this content.

Some mixing consoles designed for houses of worship have automatic mixers, which turn down unused channels to reduce noise, and automatic feedback elimination circuits which detect and notch out frequencies that are feeding back.

To implement Schuler tuning, the feedback loop is modified to tilt the platform as the vehicle moves in the north-south and east-west directions, to keep the platform facing ' down '.

Although it is often associated with ethical grey areas such as astroturfing review sites, trying to censor negative complaints or using gamey SEO tactics to influence results, there are also ethical forms of reputation management, such as responding to customer complaints, asking sites to take down incorrect information and using online feedback to influence product development and other insights.

Both the solenoid and pneumatic system provide no positional feedback while in motion, and are therefore useful for only simple ' up / down ' milling tasks.

Some shotguns also provide a mid-bead, which is a smaller bead located halfway down the rib, which allows more feedback on barrel alignment.

Figure 5 shows the normal hormonal control of puberty from the hypothalamus down to the testes or ovaries and their negative feedback mechanisms.

Passive nuclear safety is a safety feature of a nuclear reactor that does not require operator actions or electronic feedback in order to shut down safely in the event of a particular type of emergency ( usually overheating resulting from a loss of coolant or loss of coolant flow ).

* strict feedback rules-complaints go up the hierarchy to those with power to deal with them, not down to those who do not have that power

Habits of mind, such as ethnocentrism, are more fixed and influence our point of view and the resulting thoughts or feelings associated with them, whereas points of view may change over time as a result of influences such as reflection, appropriation and feedback.

External overall positive feedback may be applied but ( unlike internal positive feedback that may be applied within the latter stages of a purpose-designed comparator ) this markedly affects the accuracy of the zero-crossing detection point.

High skin temperature reduces the hypothalamic set point for sweating and increases the gain of the hypothalamic feedback system in response to variations in core temperature.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Akita took Metal Machine Music as a point of departure and further abstracted the noise aesthetic by freeing the sound from guitar based feedback alone, a development that is thought to have heralded noise music as genre.

At this point, the Q-switch device is quickly changed from low to high Q, allowing feedback and the process of optical amplification by stimulated emission to begin.

At the point where voltage at the inverting input is greater than the non-inverting input, the output of the comparator falls quickly due to positive feedback.

In these cases hysteresis is mechanically achieved via positive feedback within a tipping point mechanism.

Whereas a normal pendulum is stable when hanging downwards, an inverted pendulum is inherently unstable, and must be actively balanced in order to remain upright ; this can be done either by applying a torque at the pivot point, by moving the pivot point horizontally as part of a feedback system, changing the rate of rotation of a mass mounted on the pendulum on an axis parallel to the pivot axis and thereby generating a net torque on the pendulum, or by oscillating the pivot point vertically.

A simple demonstration of moving the pivot point in a feedback system is achieved by balancing an upturned broomstick on the end of one's finger.

The temperature of the mirror is controlled by electronic feedback to maintain a dynamic equilibrium between evaporation and condensation on the mirror, thus closely measuring the dew point temperature.

According to Thomas S. Ray and others, this may allow for more " open-ended " evolution, in which the dynamics of the feedback between evolutionary and ecological processes can itself change over time ( see evolvability ) although this claim has not been realized – like other digital evolution systems, it eventually comes to a point where novelty ceases to be created, and the system at large begins either looping or ceases to ' evolve '.

The optimal tapping point ( or ratio of coil inductances ) depends on the amplifying device used, which may be a bipolar junction transistor, FET, triode, or amplifier of almost any type ( non-inverting in this case, although variations of the circuit with an earthed centre-point and feedback from an inverting amplifier or the collector / drain of a transistor are also common ), but a Junction FET ( shown ) or triode is often employed as a good degree of amplitude stability ( and thus distortion reduction ) can be achieved with a simple grid leak resistor-capacitor combination in series with the gate or grid ( see the Scott circuit below ) thanks to diode conduction on signal peaks building up enough negative bias to limit amplification.

The lower equilibrium point for the constant harvest level is not stable however ; a population crash or illegal harvesting will decrease population yield farther below the current harvest level, creating a positive feedback loop leading to extinction.

Once they have been produced, the pilots are presented to studio and network executives, and in some cases to test audiences ; at this point, each pilot receives various degrees of feedback and is gauged on their potential to advance from one pilot to a full-fledged series.

For example, in electrical engineering, negative feedback is used in amplifiers to trade gain for other desirable properties, such as improved bandwidth, stability of the gain and / or bias point, noise immunity, and reduction of nonlinear distortion.
