Toward a “strong” normativity of fear in Hans Jonas and Aristotle
The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract What does it mean to say that one “ought” to undergo an emotion? In The Imperative of Responsibility, Hans Jonas provocatively asserts that twentieth‐century citizens “ought” to fear for the well‐being of future generations. I argue that Jonas's demand is not straightforwardly reducible to claims about the fittingness, expedience, or aretaic ...

Technologies for engineering repetitive DNA
Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Repetitive DNA, a fundamental architectural element of genomes, is widespread across organisms and comprises about 54% of the human genome. With advances in long‐read sequencing and bioinformatics approaches, highly repetitive sequences can now be characterized in depth.

CSR: Constrained Selfish Routing in Ad-hoc Networks [PDF]
, 2009 Routing protocols for ad-hoc networks assume that the nodes forming the network are either under a single authority, or else that they would be altruistically forwarding data for other nodes with no expectation of a return.

Factors Affecting Decision‐Making to Have Children in Iran: A Qualitative Study
Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Background and Aims Fertility is not only a biological process; it is a multidimensional phenomenon shaped by complex and often contradictory factors, such as cultural norms and economic conditions. Decision‐making about childbearing not only affects couples’ lives but also shapes the future of their families and societies. This study examines

Auction-based schemes for multipath routing in selfish networks [PDF]
, 2013 We study multipath routing with traffic assignment in selfish networks. Based on the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) auction, an optimal and strategy-proof scheme, known as optimal auction-based multipath routing (OAMR), is developed.

The British Journal of Sociology, Volume 77, Issue 3, Page 449-459, June 2026.ABSTRACT Trust is both a prerequisite and a product of insurance, as insurance contracts are built on and create trust relations that enable a risk‐averse perspective towards the future. At the same time, insurer‐policyholder relationships are characterised by a persistent distrust, rooted in insurance economics and industry reputation. In this article,

Stability vs. optimality in selfish ring routing [PDF]
We study the asymmetric atomic selfish routing in ring networks, which has diverse practical applications in network design and analysis. We are concerned with minimizing the maximum latency of source-destination node-pairs over links with linear ...

Selfish routing and path coloring in all-optical networks
, 2007 We study routing and path coloring problems in all-optical networks as non-cooperative games. We especially focus on oblivious payment functions, that is, functions that charge a player according to her own strategy only.We first strengthen a known ...
