Towards a biased mindset : an extended theory of planned behaviour framework to predict farmers' intention to adopt a sustainable mange control approach Universiteit Gent
Resistance against macrocyclic lactones is emerging in Psoroptes ovis mites, the cause of psoroptic mange in sheep and cattle. Therefore, sustainable mange control approaches should be implemented to prevent or slow down resistance. To ensure a proper implementation of such approaches, it is crucial to understand the factors that may impede or facilitate adoption of these practices among farmers. A conceptual model that combines insights from ...
Behavioral systems theory in data-driven analysis, signal processing, and control Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The behavioral approach to systems theory, put forward 40 years ago by Jan C. Willems, takes a representation-free perspective of a dynamical system as a set of trajectories. Till recently, it was an unorthodox niche of research but has gained renewed interest for the newly emerged data-driven paradigm, for which it is uniquely suited due to the representation-free perspective paired with recently developed computational methods. A result ...
Micro-place disorder, subjective powerlessness and violent youth group involvement: testing an integrative control theory Universiteit Gent
In this study we test an integrative theory that seeks to explain why youth that live in disordered micro-places have an increase likelihood of becoming involved in a violent youth group. The emerging integrative theory is based on the principle of conceptual end-to-end integration and is the result of an attempt to integrate (1) a contemporary version of subjective powerlessness theory with (2) an integrative control framework of violent youth ...
Restoring reputations in times of crisis: an experimental study of the Situational Crisis Communication Theory and the moderating effects of locus of control Universiteit Gent
Control limitations from distributed sensing: theory and extremely large telescope application Universiteit Gent
Low-cost Carry-home Mobile Platforms for Project-based Evaluation of Control Theory KU Leuven
This paper presents mobile platforms that were recently designed in support of an introductory control course. Through dedicated assignments, the students are guided to implement and validate all parts of the course on a setup, ranging from basic time-domain system identification, over root locus analysis and loop shaping PID design, to state feedback, state estimation and Kalman filtering. The platforms are flexible, allowing for numerous ...
Varieties of instrumental theories of emotional action: Commentary on "A perceptual control theory of emotional action" KU Leuven
Eder proposes a theory of action causation based on Powers’ control theory and Hommel’s theory of event coding in which emotional feelings play a crucial role. After presenting a rough description of Eder’s theory in which I try to spell out the various steps in the control cycle, I compare his theory to my own goal-directed theory. The two theories converge in that they (a) rely on a control cycle in which different states are compared and (b) ...
