The present experiment was designed to determine the effects of 100%, 50%, and 0% reinforcement of nonresponse acquisition on the regular acquisition, latent extinction, and regular extinction of an instrumental running response. Ss were 78 male rats randomly assigned to six treatment conditions which included the administering of pretraining and training placements under varied reinforcement, followed by latent extinction and regular extinction test periods. Although the administration of pretraining and training placements had no significant effect on running speeds during acquisition, the results did indicate that Ss which had encountered nonreinforced placements prior to latent extinction were significantly more resistant to the effects of the pre-extinction placements. The discrimination hypothesis and frustration theory were considered as interpretations of the latent extinction data.

Runway speed was investigated in 3 groups of water-deprived rats ( n = 14 per group) given one trial per day for 100 days. No statistically significant differences were found between Ss continuously receiving 0.8 cc (large reward group) or 0.1 cc (small reward group) of water and those given 0.8 cc and 0.1 cc (varied reward group) semirandomly. These data are not consistent with a position derived from a micromolar theory holding that continuous reinforcement training results in better performance than varied reinforcement training.

A series of specified domains in Nu-Mu interaction diagram are proposed to determine optimal reinforcement schemes for rectangular RC column sections subjected to uniaxial eccentric load. These domains divide the area covered by interaction diagram into four regions of safety zone, compression-controlled zone, balanced failure zone and tensioncontrolled zone, which can help engineer to understand all possibilities of section failure under varied reinforcement scheme when they carried out a section design for columns with numerical analysis. With the physical information included in the diagram, the domains help to establish logical judgment between practical reinforcement schemes specified by the Chinese code (GB50010-2010) and corresponding load combination (Nu, Mu) in interaction diagram, and also provide physical interpretation on any calculated result of steel consumption.
