Removing wolves did not reliably prevent domestic animal losses

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
Exploiting a rare, modest increase in data, we review five recent studies of killing gray wolves to protect domestic animals and produce a cross‐study consensus conclusion. From the five field studies, we find consensus that killing wolves to protect domestic animals, as currently practiced, was highly unpredictable.

A Hundred Thousand Darlingtons: Self‐Respect, Moral Judgement, and the Right to an Equal Democratic Say

Analytic Philosophy, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 201-216, September 2026.
ABSTRACT I defend the non‐instrumentalist thesis that every adult member of a political society has a pro tanto fundamental moral right to an equal democratic say in determining the content of the laws to which she is subject. I begin by giving an account of an important kind of servility that has received only glancing notice in philosophical ...

Probabilistic detection model for unqualified units under encouraged arrivals in a feedback Markovian queue: a search-theoretic approach with discounted effort and waiting time reduction

Applied Mathematics in Science and Engineering
This study develops a probabilistic framework for detecting non-servable units in a feedback Markovian queue with finite capacity. Such units arise from system-level constraints (e.g.

Visual Icons

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 113, Issue 2, Page 327-345, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Philosophers often characterize perception as image‐like. There is little agreement, however, about what constitutes an imagistic or iconic representation. This article identifies five signature properties of iconic representations endorsed in the philosophical and scientific literature: item‐richness, feature‐richness, spatiotemporal ...

Cost optimization for system stability and orbital search under working vacation and starting failure by using the ANFIS soft computing

Ain Shams Engineering Journal
This article deals with the concepts of a single server retrial queueing model with balking, orbital search under working vacation and starting failure. If the server is busy, the prospective consumer may either enter the pool or leave the system; if the

Waiting for public transport services: Queueing analysis with balking and reneging behaviors of impatient passengers

, 2014
Queues of batch arrivals and bulk service including balking and reneging behaviors of customers are commonly observed in real life. This study formulates queues of this type using compound Poisson processes and determines some key probabilistic measures.
