Reinforcement positioning

Reinforcement learning the network knows whether its output is correct or not but there is no measure of the error. The weights will increase after positive behaviours or decrease (be punished) after negative behaviours. Hence positive behaviours (or behaviours reinforced positively) are learnt, whereas negatively reinforced behaviours are punished. 

A traditional Behavior-Based Safety process identifies critical behavior, then establishes management processes that reinforce positive behaviors. 

The Power of Reinforcement Positive feedback tends to reinforce safe behavior. This feedback should be confirming, or socially rewarding, between coaches and coworkers. Sarkus notes that confirming feedback should be immediate, frequent, and favorable to be most effective (2001, p. 32). Sarkus recommends consistently confirming in favor of correcting to help coworkers become more committed to safety and less fixated on mere compliance. 

Behavior modification is not new, although some would lead you to believe differently. The basic process involves systematically reinforcing positive behavior while at the same time ignoring or exercising negative reinforcements to eliminate unwanted behavior. There are two primary approaches used in behavior modification programs. One is an attempt... 

When you offer frequent rewards, such as on a weekly basis, it allows you to keep safety awareness and your accident reduction goals in front of the employees constantly while reinforcing positive behaviors and building a safety culture. 

Active monitoring gives an organisation feedback on its performance before an incident occurs. It should be seen as a means of reinforcing positive achievement, rather than penalising...

Often the directing effects of substituents reinforce each other Brommation of p mtrotoluene for example takes place at the position that is ortho to the ortho para directing methyl group and meta to the meta directing nitro group... 

A special attribute of these processes is the abiHty to pre-position reinforcement, inserts, and core materials for stiffening ribs. Gel coatings can be apphed to the mold surface to eliminate post-mold finishing. Because both surfaces of the part are formed in a mold to close tolerances, accurate assemblies are possible, which is a requirement for many automotive or tmck body appHcations. 

Directed Oxidation of a Molten Metal. Directed oxidation of a molten metal or the Lanxide process (45,68,91) involves the reaction of a molten metal with a gaseous oxidant, eg, A1 with O2 in air, to form a porous three-dimensional oxide that grows outward from the metal/ceramic surface. The process proceeds via capillary action as the molten metal wicks into open pore channels in the oxide scale growth. Reinforced ceramic matrix composites can be formed by positioning inert filler materials, eg, fibers, whiskers, and/or particulates, in the path of the oxide scale growth. The resultant composite is comprised of both interconnected metal and ceramic. Typically 5—30 vol % metal remains after processing. The composite product maintains many of the desirable properties of a ceramic however, the presence of the metal serves to increase the fracture toughness of the composite. 

Resorcinol (1,3-dihydroxybenzene) is more reactive to formaldehyde than phenol itself, the two hydroxyl groups reinforcing each other in activating the o-and p-positions. This allows faster reactions to occur than with phenol, when compared at the same temperature, and under appropriate conditions curing can occur at normal room temperatures.
