Tracking to Pliance: Effects of Punishment on Non-Compliance
… the imposition of direct consequences for noncompliance may alter the effects of other contingencies. Depending on the point at which point losses disrupt responding, such effects may be interpreted in terms of point loss avoidance or, alternatively, maximizing point gains.

Experimental Analyses of Rule-Following: Methodological and Clinical Implications
… (McAuliffe, 2004). In Experiment 1 (n=16), three Pliance conditions (with differing levels of Experimenter involvement) were compared to a Tracking condition. In simple terms, the two types of condition were distinguished in terms of the Experimenter’s knowledge of the experimental rules with …

Strategies to ensure compliance with provisions of the Income Tax Act at the Inland Revenue Regional Office in Walvis Bay
… study focused on the strategies to ensure tax compliance at the Inland Revenue office in Walvis Bay. The main objective of this study was to investigate what are the strategies to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act in Namibia, taking the Regional Office of IRD at Walvis …

On the Rheology of Soft Cellular Materials, An Experimental Investigation of the Microstructure and Rheology of a Novel Tissue-Mimic Material
… These experiments demonstrate that the com- pliance of samples varies widely with the affinity and avidity of functionalisation molecules on the vesicles’ surface, and with the sample temperature. A fractional Maxwell model is used to model the creep response, revealing a correlation between …

Computational modelling of global haemodynamics and its interaction with cerebrospinal fluid and brain dynamics with application to essential hypertension
… a physiological distribution of vas- cular compliance; a nonlinear representation of venous resistances and compliances; myogenic mechanism of cerebral blood regulation; baroreflex control of arterial pressure. Concerning the first medical topic, we couple the circulation to a refined …

The Effects of Shaping and Instruction-based Procedures on Behavioral Variability during Acquisition and Extinction
This study examined effects of two response acquisition procedures on topography of responding using the revealed operant technique and compared results to previous experiments on this topic. Subjects emitted 100 repetitions each of 4 response patterns on a continuous schedule of reinforcement. A …

Kinematic and centre of pressure (COP) parameters in golf putting
… individual capacitance pressure sensors (novel pliance®, Munich, Germany) was validated for standing COP output against an AMTI force platform. Assessment of the equality of the output from both systems was assessed using the non-central F test. The peak-to-peak amplitude of movement of COP data …
