  2. Positive feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_feedback

    Positive feedback is used in digital electronics to force voltages away from intermediate voltages into '0' and '1' states. On the other hand, thermal runaway is a type of positive feedback that can destroy semiconductor junctions. Positive feedback in chemical reactions can increase the rate of reactions, and in some cases can lead to explosions.

  3. Feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feedback

    Positive feedback occurs when the fed-back signal is in phase with the input signal. Under certain gain conditions, positive feedback reinforces the input signal to the point where the output of the device oscillates between its maximum and minimum possible states. Positive feedback may also introduce hysteresis into a circuit. This can cause ...

  4. Climate change feedbacks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_feedbacks

    The Planck response is the additional thermal radiation objects emit as they get warmer. Whether Planck response is a climate change feedback depends on the context. In climate science the Planck response can be treated as an intrinsic part of warming that is separate from radiative feedbacks and carbon cycle feedbacks.

  5. Self-oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-oscillation

    The study of self-oscillators dates back to the early 1830s, with the work of Robert Willis and George Biddell Airy on the mechanism by which the vocal cords produce the human voice. [1] Another instance of self-oscillation, associated with the unstable operation of centrifugal governors, was studied mathematically by James Clerk Maxwell in ...

  6. Twelve leverage points - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_leverage_points

    A positive feedback loop speeds up a process. Meadows indicates that in most cases, it is preferable to slow down a positive loop, rather than speeding up a negative one. The eutrophication of a lake is a typical feedback loop that goes wild. In a eutrophic lake (which means well-nourished), much life, including fish, can be supported.

  8. Cell signaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_signaling

    In unicellular organisms such as bacteria, signaling can be used to 'activate' peers from a dormant state, enhance virulence, defend against bacteriophages, etc. [46] In quorum sensing, which is also found in social insects, the multiplicity of individual signals has the potentiality to create a positive feedback loop, generating coordinated ...
