Service systems with balking based on queueing time
, 2007 We consider service systems with balking based on queueing time, also called queues with wait-based balking. An arriving customer joins the queue and stays until served if and only if the queueing time is no more than some pre-specified threshold at the ...

Cost Analysis of a Finite Capacity Queue with Server Failures, Balking, and Threshold-Driven Recovery Policy [PDF]
International Journal of Mathematical, Engineering and Management SciencesThe study is on the cost dynamics which is concerned with finite queues in particular to susceptibility to server outages, threshold-driven recovery and Catastrophic events, but main focus is on balking behaviour of the customers.

, 2004 This paper considers an M/M/R/N queue with heterogeneous servers in which customers balk (do not enter) with a constant probability (1 - b). We develop the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters for the M/M/R/N queue with balking and ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Firms' continuous pursuit of making a profit in the competitive market may ignore the actions related to environmental responsibilities. This set of actions for financial gains constitutes environmental misconduct, which not only harms ecosystems and communities but also brings reputational damage.

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Soybean, a nutritionally important protein‐ and oil‐rich legume, is highly sensitive to iron (Fe) deficiency under alkaline conditions, where reduced Fe availability limits growth, yield, and seed quality. Effective biofortification therefore requires increasing seed Fe while reducing phytate that restricts Fe bioavailability.

Improving Affordability and Accessibility for Socially‐Beneficial Services via Government Incentives
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT Many socially‐beneficial services, like dental care, suffer from a dual challenge: Low affordability for citizens and long waiting times due to insufficient provider capacity. We model a government's problem of designing subsidy policies to address this issue.

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background Ensuring livestock welfare throughout the production chain, including transport, is an ethical and regulatory imperative. However, protocols to assess transport‐related welfare during routine abattoir inspections are not standardised, including antemortem (AM) inspection by an official veterinarian at UK abattoirs.

A Balking Queue Approach for Modeling Human-Multi-Robot Interaction for Water Monitoring
, 2017 We consider multi-robot scenarios where robots ask for operator interventions when facing difficulties. As the number of robots increases, the operator quickly becomes a bottleneck for the system.
