Changing a Student’s Classroom Behavior Using Operant Conditioning Techniques
… attention, and to develop and increase in successive approximations, the child's desirable classroom behaviors by frequent and intermittent teacher attention. The study was meant to be: (a) research replicating numerous other similar studies, but in addition be a behavior modification …

The Effects of Combining Positive and Negative Reinforcement During Training.
… involved presenting the cue ven and reinforcing successive approximations to the target behavior. The other method involved presenting the cue punir, physically prompting the target behavior by pulling the leash, and delivering a reinforcer. Three other behaviors were trained using the two cues …

Transient response of temperature sensors
… estimators, which is a technique derived from successive approximations, namely the linear recursive estimator was used to estimate temperature changes in real time by basically weighing the new estimate according to how good the previous estimate was. Temperature measurement in the presence of …

Excited State Chemical Dynamics: Beyond the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation
… methods, which are found to naturally arise from successive approximations to the quantum mechanical treatment of all molecular degrees of freedom, and presented along with details of their implementations in electronic structure programs utilizing atom-centered basis sets. Specic scientic studies …

A perturbation approach to control of rotational/translational maneuvers of flexible space vehicles
… method presented is a algorithm that generates successive approximations similar to quasi-linearization. A perturbed linear optimal control problem is solved for each approximation. Examples are presented which illustrate the effectiveness of the solution methods for both types of maneuvers.

Small and large deflection of clamped skew sandwich plates.
… perturbation technique in conjunction with successive approximations. A computer programme coded in Fortran is written for the IBM 360/65. Clamped skew sandwich plates, with any arbitrary geometric dimension and material properties of the core and skins, can be solved by this programme. From …

An analytic solution for the stress distribution in a semi- infinite strip loaded on the transverse edge
… is constructed by the method of images. Under successive reflections the given strip and the resulting images become a semi-infinite plate with a series of periodic loads on the edge. The stress function for such a plate is constructed by superposing the known solutions of a simple nature. To …

Characterization of the dynamic response of continuous system discretized using finite element methods
… The indicator can be obtained from the successive approximations of the response LCE calculated at each discretized time step. Both procedures can also be applied to fluid-structure interaction problems in which the analysis focuses on the behavior of the structural part.

Localization Of Sensors In Presence Of Fading And Mobility
… estimate the PLE by solving an equation via successive approximations. The formula in the first is stated directly from MLE analysis whereas in the second is derived from a simple probability analysis. Then two distance estimates are proposed, one based on a derived formula and the other …

Some stochastic integral and discrete equations of the volterra and fredholm types with applications
… functional analysis. The techniques of successive approximations and stochastic approximation are employed to approximate the random solution of the stochastic Volterra integral equation, and the convergence of the approximations to the unique random solution in mean square and with …

NABLA Fractional Calculus and Its Application in Analyzing Tumor Growth of Cancer
… form of the Mittag-Leffler function. Then we use successive approximations method to calculate a discrete form of the Mittag-Leffler function. In the fifth chapter, we focus on finding the model which fits best for the data of tumor growth for twenty-eight mice. The models contain either three …
