Is the Quantity-Quality Trade-Off a Trade-Off for All, None, or Some? [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 Abstract Although the theoretical trade-off between the quantity and quality of children is well established, empirical evidence supporting such a causal relationship—particularly on child health—is limited. We use two measures of child health to assess the quantity-quality trade-off across the entire distribution.

Biomimetics, 2023 Our knowledge of physics and chemistry is relatively well defined. Results from that knowledge are predictable as, largely, are those of their technical offspring such as electrical, chemical, me-chanical and civil engineering. By contrast biology is relatively unconstrained and unpredictable.

How protein stability and new functions trade off. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2008 Numerous studies have noted that the evolution of new enzymatic specificities is accompanied by loss of the protein's thermodynamic stability (DeltaDeltaG), thus suggesting a tradeoff between the acquisition of new enzymatic functions and stability ...

Unifying Speed-Accuracy Trade-Off and Cost-Benefit Trade-Off in Human Reaching Movements
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017 Two basic trade-offs interact while our brain decides how to move our body. First, with the cost-benefit trade-off, the brain trades between the importance of moving faster toward a target that is more rewarding and the increased muscular cost resulting ...

Trade-offs among cost, integration, and segregation in the human connectome
Network Neuroscience, 2023 The human brain structural network is thought to be shaped by the optimal trade-off between cost and efficiency. However, most studies on this problem have focused on only the trade-off between cost and global efficiency (i.e., integration) and have ...

Co-existence of multiple trade-off currencies shapes evolutionary outcomes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Evolutionary studies often assume that energy is the primary resource (i.e. "currency") at the heart of the survival-reproduction trade-off, despite recent evidence to the contrary.

The Reward-Complexity Trade-off in Schizophrenia
Computational Psychiatry, 2021 Action selection requires a policy that maps states of the world to a distribution over actions. The amount of memory needed to specify the policy (the policy complexity) increases with the state-dependence of the policy. If there is a capacity limit for

Managing conflicting values: Efficiency and equity trade-off in education reform
KEDI Journal of Educational Policy, 2021 Efficiency and equity trade-off reflects the tension between the different sets of competing values in education policy. Despite a substantial body of research on the efficiency-equity trade-off, empirical studies reach little consensus on whether ...

Visual Working Memory Cannot Trade Quantity for Quality
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Two main models have been proposed to describe how visual working memory (WM) allocates its capacity: the slot-model and the continuous resource-model. The purpose of the current study was to test a direct prediction of the resource model suggesting that

Mechanical Engineering, 2018 Many economists predict that a combination of higher tariffs and political uncertainty could negatively impact industrial machinery, robotics, automotive, and other industries. A full-scale trade war could create as many losers as winners, even among engineers.
