Positive, Negative, and Zero Work

22.0K
Work is done on an object when energy is transferred to the object. In other words, work is done when a force acts on a body that undergoes a displacement from one position to another. By definition, the work done by a force is the integral of the force with respect to the displacement along its path. Forces can vary as a function of position, and displacements can occur along various paths between two points. The magnitude of a force multiplied by the cosine of the angle that the force makes...

Positive and Negative Feedback Loops01:18

Positive and Negative Feedback Loops

24.9K
Animal organs and organ systems constantly adjust to internal and external changes through a process called homeostasis ("steady state"). Examples of these changes include regulation of the level of glucose or calcium in the blood or internal responses to external temperatures. Homeostasis requires  maintaining an internal dynamic equilibrium:

Correlations02:20

Correlations

35.8K
Correlation means that there is a relationship between two or more variables (such as ice cream consumption and crime), but this relationship does not necessarily imply cause and effect. When two variables are correlated, it simply means that as one variable changes, so does the other. We can measure correlation by calculating a statistic known as a correlation coefficient. A correlation coefficient is a number from -1 to +1 that indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between...

Correlation and Causation01:27

Correlation and Causation

42.2K
Statistical tests can calculate whether there is a relationship, or correlation, between independent and dependent variables. An indirect relationship of the variables signifies a correlation, while a direct relationship shows causation. If it is determined that no connection exists between the variables, then the correlation is a coincidence.
Correlation versus Causation
If the dependent variable increases or decreases when the independent variable increases, there is a positive or negative...

Correlation

14.8K
In statistics, two variables are said to be correlated if the values of one variable are associated with the other variable. Depending on the relationship between two variables, correlation can be of three types– positive correlation, negative correlation, and zero correlation.
Two variables, for example, a and b, are said to be positively correlated if both variables move in the same direction. In other words, a positive correlation exists between two variables, a and b, if:

Positive regulators allow a cell to advance through cell cycle checkpoints. Negative regulators have an equally important role as they terminate a cell’s progression through the cell cycle—or pause it—until the cell meets specific criteria.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Awe is an emotional response to vast stimuli, with recognized positive and negative variants.
  • The structural neural basis differentiating these awe variants remains largely unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the structural neural basis of positive and negative awe.
  • To examine individual differences in regional gray matter volume (rGMV) associated with positive and negative awe.

Main Methods:

  • Employed voxel-based morphometry (VBM) on 62 healthy adults.
  • Conducted partial correlation analyses to link rGMV with behavioral awe measures, controlling for covariates.

Main Results:

  • Positive awe correlated positively with GMV in the precuneus and negatively in the left fusiform and right calcarine.
  • Negative awe showed negative correlations with GMV in the left and right insula and left superior temporal gyrus.

Conclusions:

  • Identified distinct structural neural correlates for positive and negative awe.
  • Provides a neural explanation for the observed differences between positive and negative awe experiences.
