| Many electronic circuits, especially amplifiers, incorporate negative feedback. This reduces their gain, but improves their linearity, input impedance, output impedance, and bandwidth, and stabilises all of these parameters, including the closed-loop gain. These parameters also become less dependent on the details of the amplifying device itself, and more dependent on the feedback components, which are less likely to vary with manufacturing tolerance, age and temperature. The difference between positive and negative feedback for AC signals is one of phase: if the signal is fed back out of phase, the feedback is negative and if it is in phase the feedback is positive. One problem for amplifier designers who use negative feedback is that some of the components of the circuit will introduce phase shift in the feedback path. If there is a frequency (usually a high frequency) where the phase shift reaches 180°, then the designer must ensure that the amplifier gain at that frequency is very low (usually by low-pass filtering). If the loop gain (the product of the amplifier gain and the extent of the positive feedback) at any frequency is greater than one, then the amplifier will oscillate at that frequency (Barkhausen stability criterion). Such oscillations are sometimes called parasitic oscillations. An amplifier that is stable in one set of conditions can break into parasitic oscillation in another. This may be due to changes in temperature, supply voltage, adjustment of front-panel controls, or even the proximity of a person or other conductive item. | | Many electronic circuits, especially amplifiers, incorporate negative feedback.

| Thermal runaway occurs in electronic systems because some aspect of a circuit is allowed to pass more current when it gets hotter, then the hotter it gets, the more current it passes, which heats it some more and so it passes yet more current. The effects are usually catastrophic for the device in question. If devices have to be used near to their maximum power-handling capacity, and thermal runaway is possible or likely under certain conditions, improvements can usually be achieved by careful design. | | Thermal runaway occurs in electronic systems because some aspect of a circuit is allowed to pass more current when it gets hotter, then the hotter it gets, the more current it passes, which heats it some more and so it passes yet more current.

− | It has been shown that changes in [[biodiversity]] through the [[Phanerozoic]] correlate much better with hyperbolic model (widely used in [[demography]] and [[macrosociology]]) than with [[Exponential growth|exponential]] and [[Logistic function|logistic]] models (traditionally used in [[population biology]] and extensively applied to [[fossil]] [[biodiversity]] as well). The latter models imply that changes in diversity are guided by a first-order positive feedback (more ancestors, more descendants) and/or a [[negative feedback]] arising from resource limitation. Hyperbolic model implies a second-order positive feedback. The hyperbolic pattern of the [[world population growth]] has been demonstrated (see below) to arise from a second-order positive feedback between the population size and the rate of [[technological growth]]. The hyperbolic character of biodiversity growth can be similarly accounted for by a positive feedback between the diversity and community structure complexity. It has been suggested that the similarity between the curves of [[biodiversity]] and human population probably comes from the fact that both are derived from the interference of the hyperbolic trend (produced by the positive feedback) with cyclical and stochastic dynamics.<ref>Markov A., [[Andrey Korotayev|Korotayev A.]] [https://archive.today/20120630063924/http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B83WC-4N0HJMK-2&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=74a80d7c55ff987c9fc8d9c7963feab9 "Phanerozoic marine biodiversity follows a hyperbolic trend."

| 研究表明,在显生宙,生物多样性的变化与双曲模型(广泛用于人口学和宏观社会学)的相关性要比指数模型和逻辑模型(传统上用于人口生物学,并广泛用于生物多样性化石)的相关性好得多。后者的模型意味着多样性的变化是由一阶正反馈(更多的祖先,更多的后代)和/或资源限制产生的负反馈所引导的。双曲模型意味着二阶正反馈。世界人口增长的双曲线模式已被证明(见下文),源于人口数量与技术增长速度之间的二阶正反馈。生物多样性增长的双曲特征同样可以由多样性与群落结构复杂性之间的正反馈来解释。有人认为,生物多样性和人口曲线之间的相似性可能来自这样一个事实,即两者都是由双曲趋势(由正反馈产生)与周期性和随机性动态的干扰而产生的。 | | 研究表明,在显生宙,生物多样性的变化与双曲模型(广泛用于人口学和宏观社会学)的相关性要比指数模型和逻辑模型(传统上用于人口生物学,并广泛用于生物多样性化石)的相关性好得多。后者的模型意味着多样性的变化是由一阶正反馈(更多的祖先,更多的后代)和/或资源限制产生的负反馈所引导的。双曲模型意味着二阶正反馈。世界人口增长的双曲线模式已被证明(见下文),源于人口数量与技术增长速度之间的二阶正反馈。生物多样性增长的双曲特征同样可以由多样性与群落结构复杂性之间的正反馈来解释。有人认为,生物多样性和人口曲线之间的相似性可能来自这样一个事实,即两者都是由双曲趋势(由正反馈产生)与周期性和随机性动态的干扰而产生的。 |

| Simple systems that clearly separate the inputs from the outputs are not prone to systemic risk. This risk is more likely as the complexity of the system increases, because it becomes more difficult to see or analyze all the possible combinations of variables in the system even under careful stress testing conditions. The more efficient a complex system is, the more likely it is to be prone to systemic risks, because it takes only a small amount of deviation to disrupt the system. Therefore, well-designed complex systems generally have built-in features to avoid this condition, such as a small amount of friction, or resistance, or inertia, or time delay to decouple the outputs from the inputs within the system. These factors amount to an inefficiency, but they are necessary to avoid instabilities. | | Simple systems that clearly separate the inputs from the outputs are not prone to systemic risk.
