REINFORCEMENT MAGNITUDE AND THE INHIBITING EFFECT OF REINFORCEMENT [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1979
In a two‐key concurrent variable‐interval schedule (using pigeons), if the reinforcement frequency for one response is held constant while that for the other is increased, the rate of response on the constant key decreases. The immediate reinforcement for key pecking can usually be conceptualized as the change from a condition in which the key light is

Optimization of Shear Resistance in Horizontal Joints of Prefabricated Shear Walls through Post-Cast Epoxy Resin Concrete Applications

open access: yesBuildings
The horizontal joint is a critical component of the prefabricated shear wall structure, responsible for supporting both horizontal shear forces and vertical loads along with the wall, thereby influencing the overall structural performance.

Causal Reinforcement Learning: A Survey [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Reinforcement learning is an essential paradigm for solving sequential decision problems under uncertainty. Despite many remarkable achievements in recent decades, applying reinforcement learning methods in the real world remains challenging. One of the main obstacles is that reinforcement learning agents lack a fundamental understanding of the world ...

Semianalytical Solution and Parameters Sensitivity Analysis of Shallow Shield Tunneling-Induced Ground Settlement

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2017
The influence of boundary soil properties on tunneling-induced ground settlement is generally not considered in current analytic solutions, and the hypothesis of equal initial stress in vertical and horizontal makes the application of the above solutions
