Abstract:
Behaviour modification refers to the techniques used to try and decrease or increase a particular type of behaviour or reaction. This might sound very technical, but it is used very frequently by all of us. Parents use this to teach their children right from wrong. Therapists use it to promote healthy behaviours in their patients. The purpose behind behaviour modifi cation is not to understand why or how a particular behaviour started. Instead, it only focuses on changing behaviour, and there are different methods used to accomplish it.

Abstract:
This article intends to shed light on the basic concept of Behaviour Modification which is drawing attention increasingly of managers and practioners in shaping behavior of people with whom they are dealing constantly in the organization. Researches and studies revealed that Behaviour Modification can be an efficacious tool in modeling individual behaviours if it is appropriately used with caution. As such, it is also attempted to present here the basic steps and guidelines for its application. In addition to these, the article attempts to point out experiences and limitations of application of Behavioural Modification as explained by its researchers.Key words: Behaviour, modification, individual, organization, goal attainment.The Journal of Nepalese Business Studies Vol. V, No. 1, 2008, December Page: 50-61

Abstract:
The deformation behaviour of as-spun amorphous poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) yarns subjected to simultaneous thermal and mechanical treatments has been studied. The samples heat mechanical treatments were realized using constructed and produced in the author’s laboratory device. Thermal deformation experiments were carried out on conditions of linear samples heating from room temperature up to 200 0C while they were subjected to a well-defined constant tensile force. It was observed very interesting and seemingly strange dependence of the final fibre length from the values of the applied tensile stress. The results obtained show the role of the strain stress on the causing samples deformation and in the control of the rival processes of the fluid like deformation and stress-induced crystallization.

Abstract:
This thesis presents the development of techniques which enable appliance recognition in an Advanced Electricity Meter (AEM) to aid individuals reduce their domestic electricity consumption. The key aspect is to provide immediate and disaggregated information, down to appliance level, from a single point of measurement. Three sets of features including the short term time domain, time dependent finite state machine behaviour and time of day are identified by monitoring step changes in the power consumption of the home. Associated with each feature set is a membership which depicts the amount to which that feature set is representative of a particular appliance. These memberships are combined in a novel framework to effectively identify individual appliance state changes and hence appliance energy consumption. An innovative mechanism is developed for generating short term time domain memberships. Hierarchical and nearest neighbour clustering is used to train the AEM by generating appliance prototypes which contain an indication of typical parameters. From these prototypes probabilistic fuzzy memberships and possibilistic fuzzy typicalities are calculated for new data points which correspond to appliance state changes. These values are combined in a weighted geometric mean to produce novel memberships which are determined to be appropriate for the domestic model. A voltage independent feature space in the short term time domain is developed based on a model of the appliance’s electrical interface. The components within that interface are calculated and these, along with an indication of the appropriate model, form a novel feature set which is used to represent appliances. The techniques developed are verified with real data and are 99.8% accurate in a laboratory based classification in the short term time domain. The work presented in this thesis demonstrates the ability of the AEM to accurately track the energy consumption of individual appliances.

Abstract:
It has been proposed that delusional thinking 'may be on a continuum with, normal behaviour and can be assessed by taking account of, factors such as the client's degree, of belief conviction or the extent of preoccupation with the belief. In the present research a number of -measures were employed to assess theý delusional thinking of people diagnosed as schizophrenic. - Two -interventions were eipployed: (i) a structured verbal challenge, and (ii) a reality test in which the belief was subject to an empirical test. The research offered support for the continuum view of delusional behaviour, and demonstrated that a number of aspects of delusional behaviour, including the degree of conviction with which the belief is held, are open to modification.

Yang, Chao. "Solidification behaviour and hipping induced surface modification in Ti4522XD castings." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2012. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/7614/.

Full text
Abstract:
The solidification behaviour of Ti45Al2Mn2Nb1B (at.%) has been studied together with its response to HIPing (Hot Isostatic Pressing) in order to understand the mechanism of grain refinement in castings and to understand the influence of surface changes occurring during HIPping on the properties of HIPped net shape cast turbine blades. Samples which had been rapidly cooled from near the melting point from a Bridgman furnace, where a thermal gradient was imposed, have been used to understand the grain refinement mechanism and the details of the solidification sequence. In addition the structure of powder samples, which have been gas-atomised and hence very rapidly cooled have also been used to further the understanding of solidification and of the role of borides. It has been shown that borides themselves play an important role in grain refinement. It has been shown that HIPping results in the formation of a surface which is caused by oxidation from the oxygen present in the argon used in the HIP. The details of the chemistry and microstructure of the surface layers have been shown to be influenced by oxygen partial pressure, by HIPping time and HIPping temperature. Conventional HIPping conditions lead to a surface which contains a γ-layer which does not appear to downgrade either the tensile properties or fatigue properties of the samples and may slightly improve the corrosion resistance. Further work is required to produce net shape castings, which have properties comparable with conventionally cast Ti4522XD, but the present work shows that these could then be HIPped without the γ-layer contained surface causing any downgrading in properties.

Hockley, Frances Anne. "Modification of fish behaviour by parasites under variable flow conditions." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2014. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/69706/.

Full text
Abstract:
Fish populations are increasingly under threat by anthropogenic habitat modification. As demands on rivers have increased through increased human activity, resultant watercourse manipulations have altered the natural flow regime. However, it is unclear how diseased fish react to variable flow conditions in terms of their behaviour and swimming ability. This thesis addresses fundamental questions about the interaction between flow hydraulics and fish behaviour using two popular model systems: Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia reticulata) and three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus). Firstly it was found that guppies shoaled less when a member was infected with Gyrodactylus turnbulli but the magnitude of this effect was greater in the absence of flow (Chapter 2). Over time, the shoaling behaviour of guppies in the static flow condition reduced as parasite prevalence increased. In the flow condition, however, this effect was not observed, which resulted in higher peak prevalence of the parasite (Chapter 3). Sticklebacks utilised the lower flow velocities near the bed boundary layer to improve anaerobic and aerobic swimming performance but their natural parasite fauna had little effect on their swimming ability (Chapters 4 and 5). Guppies of different size, sex and parasite load utilised different regions around boulders to refuge from undesirable hydraulic conditions (Chapter 6). Finally, the impact of an invasive nematode Anguillicoloides crassus on the swimming behaviour of downstream migrating European eels (Anguilla anguilla) was investigated (Chapter 7). The parasite reduced burst swimming ability of the eels, which may have a knock-on effect for migration. In summary, this thesis demonstrates the importance of flow heterogeneity within a river system to provide shelter for smaller or weaker fish in poor health. River managers need to carefully consider any adaptation of flow regimes to provide appropriate flow conditions for resident species displaying a range of microhabitat requirements.

Abstract:
The number of people surviving into old age, is increasing rapidly, bringing attendant social care problems, such as a rise in the number of people suffering from dementia. It is important that research resources be made available to investigate the causes of dementia and the provision of therapeutic measures. The symptomatic role of language disorders in the dementias of old age has already been well established, and is a primary cause of distress to carers and sufferers alike. Strategies for remediation of such language disorders were investigated. Analysis of verbal behaviour, within Skinner's (1957) framework, was selected as a route for further understanding, description, and therapeutic intervention. The deficits in verbal behaviour found, included the echoic, the textual and the tact, mand compliance, and naming, also understanding and production of prepositional relations, and conditional responding or conditional mand compliance. Performance on matching to sample tasks was also found to be poor. The outcome of reinforcement procedures was moderately successful, but modelling of correct responses was found to reduce frequency of correct non-imitative responses, and was not successful. The application of the textual prompt for naming and mand compliance responding was successful, in that increases in correct textual responses to stimuli were produced. It was not clear, however, whether this success would have resulted in lasting positive behaviour change. Language deficits were discussed in terms of a breakdown in functional relationships between verbal responses and stimuli which under normal circumstances would control them, and in terms of deficits in conditional responding. A number of suggestions were made for the improvement of therapeutic practice in this area, based on the results obtained.

Full text
Abstract:
This study examined the efficacy of conjoint behavioural consultation (CBC) in the remediation of behavioural problems in children with cognitive disabilities. Further, this study sought to determine whether parents' knowledge of behavioural principles and behavioural management skills improved as a result of participating in CBC. An A/B design was utilized with 6 children (ages 7--10), their parents and teachers. Children evidenced improvements in their target behaviours from baseline to treatment at home or at school (effect sizes = -2.11 to +1.35). Overall, children evidenced improvements in social skills, problem behaviours, or externalizing behaviours (Reliable Change Indices [RCI] = -0.27 to 3.29). Moreover, knowledge of behavioural principles increased significantly for two parents at posttest when compared to pretest (RCI = 1.25 to 3.47). Also, parents used more praise statements, fewer critical statements, and fewer no-opportunity commands at posttest than at pretest. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings, limitations of this study, and future research directions are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
The primary purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a highly individualized conjoint behavioural consultation model with group videotape therapy as a means of decreasing externalizing behaviour problems of children with developmental disabilities. The effects of the intervention were examined via changes in children's target behaviors throughout the course of the intervention, along with pre-intervention and postintervention changes of problem behaviors on standardized measures, and during parentchild play observations. Parent outcome was evaluated by changes in parental knowledge of behavioural principles, changes in parental management skills, and parental discipline approaches. Finally, parental acceptability of the intervention was examined as well as the relationship between intervention acceptability and outcome. A multiple baseline research design was used with 22 children, their parents, and teachers. Results indicated that children's target behaviors improved from baseline to intervention. Moreover, parental knowledge of behavioral principles, parental discipline strategies, and behavioral management skills improved from pre-intervention to post-intervention. Further, high acceptability ratings were reported by parents at post-intervention. Finally, a positive relationship was found between intervention effectiveness and acceptability. Results are discussed in light of their implications and contributions to the literature in school psychology.

Abstract:
Abstract Some experiments show that hydrostatic pressure influences the corrosion behaviour of copper alloys. Corrosion rates increase with increasing pressure, corrosion product nature and polarization curve features are modified The "Institut Français de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la MER" (IFREMER) and the "Istituto per la Corrosione Marina dei Metalli" (ICMM) marine corrosion laboratories have carried out investigations on the effects of additive elements (Fe, Ni) and hydrostatic pressure on corrosion behaviour of Cu-Al alloys in natural sea water. The experiments performed in two types of tanks and with different specimens agree very well. They show that the corrosion rates of the tested alloys increase with increasing pressure, and decrease with Fe and Ni additions. Investigation methods used to perform these experiments were as follows : free corrosion tests, electrochemical measurements (polarization curves, electrochemical impedance) and corrosion product analysis. The results are connected to each other. A modification of the corrosion layer nature explains the pressure effects on corrosion. The products are less hydrated. The oxides and copper chlorides replace oxides and oxychlorides found at atmospheric pressure. Pressure increases parting of base alloy but Fe and Ni additions inhibit it for the whole pressure range.

Full text
Abstract:
Over the past years, numerous studies have paved the way towards a better understanding of human-automation interaction (HAI). However, there is neglect in research that focuses on the long-term effects of automation on user behaviour. The reason behind this has been highly emphasised. As, long-term research is one of the most critically challenging approaches and is quite expensive to conduct, among others. Moreover, many scholars argue that a major source of difficulty is defining how long a period is enough to consider the potential change in user behaviour or behaviour modification. In this discussion, we consider what constitutes long-term research, to prolifically draw knowledge on taxonomies and benchmarks for empirical evaluation strategies on changes in user behaviour. Further, we consider the trade-offs between long-term effects and learning effects. In addition, the reader should note that this paper is a fragment of dualistic parts of knowledge distribution on the topic of constructing a long-term research strategy for assessing learning effects, long-term effects and behaviour modification.

Abstract:
Abstract The paper formulates an algorithm for online modification of the trajectory of a collaborative robot. A sliding mode control algorithm is developed to identify the human intent, under ignorance of the mass and inertia of the element attached to the end effector of the collaborative robot (cobot) and also under ignorance of the human behaviour while applying force to the end effector of the cobot. The sliding mode control methodology allows a human user to modify the trajectory of the cobot while in motion. The controller is developed based on the assumption that the force applied by the human agent is an outcome of a Proportional-Derivative (PD) based dynamics. Although, the human dynamics is assumed, the parameters of the assumed PD control is unknown. However, the boundedness of the human dynamics’ gain matrices lead to the need of a sliding mode controller. Subsequently, the traditional Dynamic Motion Primitives (DMPs) have been used to rapidly train the desired behaviour of a human user. Then, the local planner is modified based on the task modification. The utility of the sliding mode control algorithm and the proposed DMP approach is demonstrated by experiments on the Kinova Gen2 cobotic Arm. Also, the sliding mode control algorithm is shown to converge asymptotically under bounded human action.

Abstract:
The aim of adaptive programming (AP) is to produce adaptive, flexible, iterative, responsive, problem-driven, politically smart, locally led programmes which are effective and efficient and meet donor requirements for accountability. This is a rapid desk review of recent literature on AP including academic and grey sources. Section 2 covers the main challenges and barriers to successful implementation of AP. Key success factors are covered in Section 3. Selecting the appropriate monitoring and evaluation tools such as outcome harvesting or adapted versions of Value for Money to assist in measuring outcomes and embedding learning is key to successful AP, particularly in governance programmes, where results are usually long-term, non-linear and causality can be difficult to specifically trace back to the donor-funded intervention. Section 4 details three case studies from the governance arena as this report was requested to assist in designing adaptive governance programmes. Thus, the State Accountability and Voice Initiative (SAVI) from Nigeria, Chakua Hatua from Tanzania, and Within and Without the State (WWS) from conflict regions are included to show how flexible indicators, donor communication and negotiation, empowering teams and adopting monitoring and evaluation tools assisted in successful AP outcomes in different locations and political contexts. The challenges faced and drawbacks of certain processes were fed into efficient feedback loops fostering cross-communication, adaptation, and modification to ensure procedures and policies were changed accordingly. Sources used are primarily from the previous 5 years, as per K4D norms, unless the work is seminal, such as the ODI Report (2016) Doing Development Differently, which encouraged over 60 countries to sign up for the AP methodology. This review found a substantive body of literature on AP methodology the relative recency of academic attention on AP in the development less evidence is available on case studies of AP in the development sector, as there are not many ongoing projects and even fewer have been completed and results assessed (ICF, 2019). There is also a lack of case studies on how dynamic, empowered, innovative teams successfully apply adaptive programming ideas, particularly providing behavioural insights about such teams (Cooke, 2017) as well as little attention to precipitating and sustaining behaviour change in institutions over the longer term (Power, 2017).

Full text
Abstract:
This study investigates the effect of thermal modification on the flexural properties, transverse fracture energy, and hardness of western hemlock. Flexure tests on specimens featuring longitudinal and transverse grains showed that thermal modification at 167 °C leads to less statistical variability compared to unmodified samples. Additionally, thermal modification leads to a decrease in the transverse flexural strength. On the other hand, the fracture and Janka hardness tests revealed a more pronounced brittleness of the thermally modified samples. The total mode I fracture energy of modified single-edge notch bending samples was about 47% lower for radial–longitudinal systems and 60% lower for tangential–longitudinal systems. Similarly, the average Janka hardness in the tangential and transverse planes was 8.5% and 9.4% lower in the modified specimens, respectively. The results presented in this work show that thermal modification can have a significant effect on the fracturing behavior of west-ern hemlock and its energy dissipation capabilities. For design, this must be taken into serious consideration as these properties significantly influence the damage tolerance of this wood in the presence of stress concentrations such as those induced in bolted joints and cut outs. Fracture energy and hardness are also strongly correlated to ballistic performance.

Full text
Abstract:
Specialized classes of concrete, such as ultra-high-performance concrete, use volumes of silica fume in concrete that are higher than those in conventional concrete, resulting in increased water demand and mixing difficulty. This study considered the effects of eight different silica fumes in three dosages (10%, 20%, 30%) with three w/b (0.20, 0.30, 0.45) on rheological behavior as characterized by the Herschel-Bulkley model. Results indicated that the specific source of silica fume used, in addition to dosage and w/b, had a significant effect on the rheological behavior. As such, all silica fumes cannot be treated as equivalent or be directly substituted one for another without modification of the mixture proportion. The rheology of cement pastes is significantly affected by the physical properties of silica fume more so than any chemical effects.

Abstract:
Tall, multistory, buildings are becoming increasingly popular in large cities as a result of growing urbanization trends (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs 2018). As cities continue to grow, many of them along the coasts of continents which are prone to natural hazards, the performance of tall, flexible buildings when subjected to natural hazards is a pressing issue with engineering relevance. The performance of structures when subjected to dynamic loads can be enhanced with various response modification strategies which have been traditionally achieved with added stiffness, flexibility, damping and strength (Kelly et al. 1972; Skinner et al. 1973, 1974; Clough and Penzien 1975; Zhang et al. 1989; Aiken 1990; Whittaker et al. 1991; Makris et al. 1993a,b; Skinner et al. 1993; Inaudi and Makris 1996; Kelly 1997; Soong and Dargush 1997; Constantinou et al. 1998; Makris and Chang 2000a; Chang and Makris 2000; Black et al. 2002, 2003; Symans et al. 2008; Sarlis et al. 2013; Tena-Colunga 1997). Together with the elastic spring that produces a force proportional to the relative displacement of its end-nodes and the viscous dashpot that produces a force proportional to the relative velocity of its end-nodes; the inerter produces a force proportional to the relative acceleration of its end-nodes and emerges as the third elementary mechanical element (in addition to the spring and dashpot) capable for modifying structural response. Accordingly, in this report we examine the seismic performance of multistory and seismically isolated structures when equipped with inerters. In view that the inerter emerges as the third elementary mechanical element for the synthesis of mechanical networks, in Chapter 2 we derive the basic frequency- and time-response functions of the inerter together with these of the two-parameter inertoelastic and inertoviscous mechanical networks. Chapter 3 examines the response of a two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) structure where the first story is equipped with inerters. Both cases of a stiff and a compliant support of the inerters are examined. The case of two parallel clutching inerters is investigated and the study concludes that as the compliance of the frame that supports the inerters increases, the use of a single inerter offers more favorable response other than increasing the force transferred to the support frame. Chapter 4 examines the seismic response analysis of the classical two-degree-of-freedom isolated structure with supplemental rotational inertia (inerter) in its isolation system. The analysis shows that for the “critical” amount of rotational inertia which eliminates the participation of the second mode, the effect of this elimination is marginal on the structural response since the participation of the second mode is invariably small even when isolation systems without inerters are used. Our study, upon showing that the reaction force at the support of the inerter is appreciable, proceeds with a non-linear response analysis that implements a state-space formulation which accounts for the bilinear behavior of practical isolation system (single concave sliding bearings or lead-rubber bearings) in association with the compliance of the support of the inerter. Our study concludes that supplemental rotational inertia aggravates the displacement and acceleration response of the elastic superstructure and as a result, for larger isolation periods (Tb > 2.5s) the use of inerters in isolation systems is not recommended. Chapter 5 first examines the response analysis of a SDOF elastoplastic and bilinear structure and reveals that when the yielding structure is equipped with supplemental rotational inertia, the equal- displacement rule is valid starting from lower values of the pre-yielding period given that the presence of inerters lengthens the apparent pre-yielding period. The analysis concludes that sup- plemental rotational inertia emerges as an attractive response modification strategy for elastoplastic and bilinear SDOF structures with pre-yielding periods up to T1 = 1.5sec. For larger pre-yielding periods (say T1 > 2.0sec), the effectiveness of inerters to suppress the inelastic response of 2DOF yielding structures reduces; and for very flexible first stories; as in the case of isolated structures examined in chapter 4, the use of inerter at the first level (isolation system) is not recommended. Finally, chapter 6 shows that, in spite of the reduced role of inerters when placed at floor levels other than the first level (they no-longer suppress the induced ground acceleration nor they can eliminate the participation of higher modes), they still manifest a unique role since it is not possible to replace a structure with solitary inerters at higher levels with an equivalent traditional structure without inerters.

Full text
Abstract:
The most commonly used fracture analyses procedure for the prediction of minimum arrest toughness and fracture speed for axially running cracks in line pipe materials for natural gas transmission pipeline applications is the Battelle Two-Curve approach. This analysis procedure incorporates the gas-decompression behavior with the fracture toughness of the pipe material to predict the minimum Charpy energy required for crack arrest. For this model, the effect of backfill on the propagating crack fracture speeds is lumped into one empirically based �backfill coefficient,� which does not distinguish different soil types or strengths. This report provides a better understanding of soil behavior and its affect on the fracture speed of running axial flaws in buried line pipe materials. The results from this program are combined with other full-scale experimental data in developing a modification to the treatment of backfill in the Battelle Two-Curve approach for calculating minimum arrest toughness. This first major improvement to the Battelle Two-Curve approach is incorporated into a computer code called PIPE-DFRAC.

Full text
Abstract:
This report presents the results of Structural Integrity (SI) Task 1.11-1990, which was initiated to develop the properties for a steel that was typical of lower strength early vintage pipe and anothersteel that represents the more recent controlled-rolled high-strength and high-toughness pipe. Samples of X42 and X80 steels were chosen as the basis for study. The approach was to compare the properties for these steels with the behavior assumed in the analysis and embedded in the model formulation. If the behavior of the new materials is compatible with the current formulation then it can be concluded that the model can with minor changes and related validation be extended to a much broader scope of pipeline applications. This report presents the ductile-fracture and mechanical properties needed to implement the ductile-flaw-growth model and then comments on the modifications needed to adapt the model to this broader class of steels by comparison of the results presented with the formulation developed to address the steels in the earlier study.
