What Contributes to Well-Being in Later Life? How Two Life-Span Perspectives Explain the Process
… goals are formed and changed over the life-span. Selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC) theory and socioemotional selectivity theory (SST) explain goal changes throughout life. Although these theories focus on different factors that led to goal changes and on different aspects of goals, …

Strategies of adaptation to age-related losses in everyday activities of independent seniors
… the applicability of the theory of selective optimization with compensation (P. B. Baltes & Baltes, 1990) to the adaptive management of resources in everyday life in old age. The general hypothesis that loss-based selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC) use mediated the relationship …

Methods of optimization for KCE-based aptamer selection
The success of KCE-based aptamer selection relies on three distinct steps of pre-selection optimization: (i) preventing protein adsorption to the inner walls of the capillary, (ii) maximizing the protein-DNA separation, and (iii) determining an appropriate aptamer-collection window. To perform the …

Inbound container queuing optimization model for distribution centers
… lean inventory management system and a container selection optimization model are described in it. Representative data is presented and the model is used to solve which containers should be received. Finally, the efficacy of the model and a comparison to a heuristic are discussed.

Identity development across the lifespan.
… to two developmental models, the selective optimization and compensation model and a holistic wellness model. Data was gathered from traditionally aged college freshmen and adults older than 60 years of age. Uncommitted identity statuses and work and leisure wellness domains were endorsed …

Assessing decision inputs in drug development between small, early stage companies and big pharma : is there is a difference?
… decision points are therefore: lead candidate selection/optimization, moving a project from pre-clinical trials into Phase I human clinical trials, and moving a project from Phase I to Phase II clinical trials in humans.

Optimization of BMP Selection for Distributed Stormwater Treatment Networks
… for nutrient removal and groundwater recharge. Selection of the appropriate BMPs for a particular site requires consideration of contributing drainage area characteristics, such as soil type, area, and land cover. Other physical constraints such as karst topography, areas of highly concentrated …

Traditional faculty in transition: theory, change, and preparation for the online paradigm
… to determine the differences. The meta-theory of Selection, Optimization, and Compensation (SOC), created by Baltes and Baltes (1990), was used as the theoretical framework. In Chapter 2, the SOC theory was tested for suitability by surveying experienced online faculty using the SOC short form …
