It can be used when discussing a particular compromise or balance between two or more factors or options.
Example: "In this project, we need to consider a specific trade off between cost and quality to ensure we meet our budget while delivering a satisfactory product."
Alternatives: "a particular compromise" or "a defined balance".
This paper therefore concludes there is no single overall best AQM scheme, as each scheme proposes a specific trade-off.
While overall trade-off curves could be reproduced, we found that each subject used a specific trade-off strategy which differ substantially between subjects.
Unlike the contingent valuation method that aims to value a specific trade-off, the CM technique needs respondents to select only one resource use option from each of some sets of multiple resource use options [5].
Our results support this conclusion and point to a specific trade-off between escape ability and foraging ability.
In addition, a specific trade-off between the investment in immunity and investment in mating might explain our female results.
We hypothesized that in the island environment defensive behavior of Africanized bees would be reduced both because of selective forces facing colonists on islands, such as lack of natural enemies and limited resources and because of a specific trade-off between defense and foraging described in honeybees (Giray et al. 2000; Rivera-Marchand et al. 2008).
We found a gender specific trade-off between investment in reproduction and immunocompetence (measured by the spleen-somatic index).
To ascertain the robustness of our results with respect to the specific trade-off functions, we also analyzed the model with a different trade-off, which gave rise to highly similar results and supported the generality of our conclusions (Appendix B).
Specifically we tested the theoretical life-history prediction that the nature of specific trade-offs will remain the same across the different treatments even if average trait values change.
The specific trade-offs are related to particular career paths.
The case studies highlight specific trade-offs that arise in sustainable design applications.
