Beyond planetary-scale feedback self-regulation: Gaia as an autopoietic system Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Gaia hypothesis states that the Earth is an instance of life. However, appraisals of it tend to focus on the claim that life is a feedback self-regulator that controls Earth's chemistry and climate dynamics, yet, self-regulation by feedbacks is not a definitive characteristic of living systems. Here, we consider the characterization of biological systems as autopoietic systems (causally organized to self-produce through metabolic efficient ...
The limits and opportunities of self-regulation: achieving international sport federations’ compliance with good governance standards KU Leuven
© 2018, © 2018 European Association for Sport Management. Research question: This article explores whether self-regulation has the potential to achieve the universal adoption of good governance by international sport federations (IFs). It introduces a framework on the basis of compliance theory to analyse IFs’ recent self-regulation initiatives, namely the Basic Universal Principles of Good Governance of the Olympic and Sports Movement (PGG) and ...
Causal judgments of positive mood in relation to self-regulation: a case study with Flemish students University of Antwerp
To examine Students' causal judgements of positive mood in relation to self-regulation, 128 participants from two different schools representing two distinct educational environments (Technical/Vocational School (TSO/BSO): N = 63; General Secondary School (ASO): N = 65) were asked to judge 45 statements containing three possible relationships (A -> B; A <- B; A <> B) for all iterations of 5 constructs associated with positive moo(l, ...
Current issues and new directions in Psychology and Health: the costs and benefits of self-regulation: a call for experimental research Ghent University
From classroom learning environments to self-regulation: The mediating role of task value Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Integrating Moos's (1979) theory scheme on classroom learning environments, subjective task value, and self-regulated theories, we explore the relationships among classroom learning environments, task value, and self-regulation. We used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with bootstrapping estimation based on 5000 samples and data from n = 2052 students in grades 5 to 9 from public and private schools in China. The results showed that ...
Self-regulating plasma-assisted growth of epitaxial BaBiO3 thin-film on SrTiO3-buffered Si(001) substrate Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre KU Leuven
The BaBiO3 perovskite oxide is an interesting material system because of its superconductivity when p-doped and the predicted topological insulating nature when n-doped. Single crystalline BaBiO3 films are grown by molecular beam epitaxy with high quality utilizing the adsorption-controlled regime, where volatile Bi is supplied in excess in the presence of oxygen radicals. BaBiO3 films are integrated on Si(001) substrates through growth on a ...
How architecture can support self-regulating interpersonal distance for individuals showing challenging behaviour: A case study at a very-intensive-care facility KU Leuven
Challenging behaviour (CB), such as aggression towards oneself, others, or objects, arises in interaction with the environment and is shown in order to escape, increase attention, adjust sensory stimulation, or receive material rewards. CB may prevent individuals from participating in society and enjoying a high quality of life (QoL). Literature suggests that architects can enable prevention, by helping to mitigate CB before rather than after ...
A self-regulating valve for single-phase liquid cooling of microelectronics KU Leuven
This paper reports on the design, optimization and testing of a self-regulating valve for single-phase liquid cooling of microelectronics. Its purpose is to maintain the integrated circuit (IC) at constant temperature and to reduce power consumption by diminishing flow generated by the pump as a function of the cooling requirements. It uses a thermopneumatic actuation principle that combines the advantages of zero power consumption and small ...
