The review identifies trends in psychology that, if emphasized and strengthened, may lead to improved theoretical frameworks that cast longevity in a positive light, and that identify how people can find meaning and fulfillment throughout their whole lifespan.
We describe a model that integrates contemporary knowledge of signal transduction pathways with principles of quantitative and population genetics to form a theoretical framework for improved understanding of the genetic control of complex traits.
We submit that this theoretical framework will allow an improved interpretation of indentation force depth data from a sub-class of atomic force microscopy tests and will serve as an important analytical check for future finite element models.
Thus, understanding the potential and observed changes in FC in disease would benefit from embedding previous studies into a broader framework, the aim being an improved theoretical understanding of the principles of the emergence of FC patterns from the dynamic activity of local nodes coupled through long-range anatomical connections.
Interestingly, the theoretical framework that links no-take marine reserves with improved coral condition has been a matter of some debate (e.g., Jackson and others 2001; Grigg and others 2005; Pandolfi and others 2005; Aronson and Precht 2006; Jackson 2008).
Bender et al. suggested that non-white patients may have received a narrower range of treatments due to differences in ethnic metabolisms, or the prescribing habits of different mental health workers[ 19] but few studies replicate these findings or propose an overall theoretical framework within which research studies can lead to improved clinical practice.
In terms of socio-economic and demographic variables, Deaton [ 40] proposes a theoretical framework in which progressive income redistribution would result in improved health measures following decreasing returns of income over health outcomes.
By proposing that IS design enables an OM department's KM processes, i.e., the POAC and ROAC capabilities, our interdisciplinary theoretical framework opens the "black box" of OAC and contributes to improved understanding of IS and OM synergies.
A better understanding of the modifiable factors that are independently associated with improved gait speed would ensure that intervention strategies are developed based on a valid theoretical framework.
V.H. developed the theoretical framework presented in the Supplementary Data.
