  2. Scientific control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_control

    The simplest types of control are negative and positive controls, and both are found in many different types of experiments. [2] These two controls, when both are successful, are usually sufficient to eliminate most potential confounding variables: it means that the experiment produces a negative result when a negative result is expected, and a ...

  3. Biochemical switches in the cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemical_switches_in...

    Positive feedback loops play a role by switching cells from low to high Cdk-activity. The interaction between the two types of loops is evident in mitosis. While positive feedback initiates mitosis, a negative feedback loop promotes the inactivation of the cyclin-dependent kinases by the anaphase-promoting complex.

  4. Experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiment

    A negative control is known to give a negative result. The positive control confirms that the basic conditions of the experiment were able to produce a positive result, even if none of the actual experimental samples produce a positive result. The negative control demonstrates the base-line result obtained when a test does not produce a ...

  5. Positive control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_control

    Positive control, the air traffic control practice of controlling aircraft whose positions are determined by direct radar observation; Positive control in dog handling: affirmative physical or non-physical control of a dog (as in using proper leash handling technique or having successfully trained a dog with vocal commands by operant conditioning).

  6. Sensitivity and specificity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitivity_and_specificity

    The true positive in this figure is 6, and false negatives of 0 (because all positive condition is correctly predicted as positive). Therefore, the sensitivity is 100% (from 6 / (6 + 0) ). This situation is also illustrated in the previous figure where the dotted line is at position A (the left-hand side is predicted as negative by the model ...

  7. Control coefficient (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_coefficient...

    Control coefficients can have both negative and positive values. A negative value indicates that the observable in question decreases as a result of the change in enzyme activity. It is important to note that control coefficients are not fixed values but will change depending on the state of the pathway or organism. If an organism shifts to a ...

  9. Positive feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_feedback

    Positive feedback in chemical reactions can increase the rate of reactions, and in some cases can lead to explosions. Positive feedback in mechanical design causes tipping-point, or over-centre, mechanisms to snap into position, for example in switches and locking pliers. Out of control, it can cause bridges to collapse.
