Self-determination theory (SDT; Intrinsic motivation and self-determination in human behavior, New York, 1985; The oxford handbook of human motivation, New York, pp 85–107, 2012) is a broad motivational theory that has been developing for the last four decades. The theory makes the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and identifies three basic psychological needs that are essential for well-being. When people are intrinsically motivated, they engage in an activity because the activity itself is interesting, enjoyable, and congruent with their selves. In contrast, when people are extrinsically motivated, they engage in an activity because the activity is instrumental in obtaining rewards or avoiding punishments. In this chapter, we will discuss digital games within a SDT framework, with a focus on how satisfaction of basic psychological needs in games can enhance user experience. We start with the behavioral psychology principles and the use of rewards in games that fuel extrinsic motivation. Next, we discuss intrinsic–extrinsic motivation and the three basic psychological needs—autonomy, competence, and relatedness—that facilitate intrinsic motivation and enhance player experience. Finally, we discuss some basic game features and their relation to basic needs.

Stable controller design for T-S fuzzy systems based on Lie algebras
Banks, SP; Gurkan, E; Erkmen, İsmet (Elsevier BV, 2005-12-01)
In this paper, we study the stability of fuzzy control systems of Takagi-Sugeno-(T-S) type based on the classical theory of Lie algebras. T-S fuzzy systems are used to model nonlinear systems as a set of rules with consequents of the type x(t) = A(l)x (t) + B(l)u (t). We conduct the stability analysis of such T-S fuzzy models using the Lie algebra LA generated by the A(l) matrices of these subsystems for each rule in the rule base. We first develop our approach of stability analysis for a commuting algebra ...
Performance based assessment of number of equivalent uniform cyclic stress scheme
Altıncı, Eray; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
Assessment of cyclic (seismic) response of soils is considered to be one of the most interesting research areas of geotechnical engineering. Cyclic loading-induced stresses cause accumulation of shear strains and generation of excess pore water pressure, which are accompanied by reduction in stiffness. In the most extreme cases, this process leads to soil liquefaction. As opposed to the random nature of earthquake waves, it is generally preferred to apply uniform loading cycles to undisturbed or reconstitut...
CHAINS OF THEORIES AND COMPANIONABILITY
Kasal, Ozcan; Pierce, David (2015-11-01)
The theory of fields that are equipped with a countably infinite family of commuting derivations is not companionable, but if the axiom is added whereby the characteristic of the fields is zero, then the resulting theory is companionable. Each of these two theories is the union of a chain of companionable theories. In the case of characteristic 0, the model-companions of the theories in the chain form another chain, whose union is therefore the model-companion of the union of the original chain. However, in...
The non-split scalar coset in supergravity theories
Yilmaz, NT (Elsevier BV, 2003-12-22)
The general non-split scalar coset of supergravity theories is discussed. The symmetric space sigma model is studied in two equivalent formulations and for different coset parametrizations. The dualisation and the local first order formulation is performed for the non-split scalar coset G/K when the rigid symmetry group G is a real form of a non-compact semisimple Lie group (not necessarily split) and the local symmetry group K is G's maximal compact subgroup. A comparison with the scalar cosets arising in ...
