Application of Interval-valued Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Approach in Selection Cargo Terminals, a Case Study
Cargo terminals are the gateways for entrance of commodities into the transportation network. Therefore, locating them in optimal location could have a major impact on the cost effectiveness and efficiency of transport, traffic safety and reduction in environmental pollutions. Due to the presence of a large number of parameters involved and the existing uncertainties, decision making in this fi...
متن کاملOperational Planning of Crude Oil Processing Terminals
A typical crude oil supply chain consists of production oilfields, processing terminals, storage facilities and refineries, interconnected by means of pipelines. In processing terminals, different varieties of base crude-oils are received, processed and blended in order to produce commercial varieties which are exported and/or sent to refineries. In the last decade, very few contributions have ...
متن کاملOperational Efficiency
The fields of engineering and management associate efficiency with how well a relevant action is performed, i.e. ‘‘doing things right’’, and effectiveness with selecting the best action, i.e. ‘‘doing the right thing’’. Thus, a firm is effective if identifies appropriate strategic goals, and efficient if it achieves them with minimal resources. This chapter focuses on operational efficiency, or ...
متن کاملIntegration of Synaptic Vesicle Cargo Retrieval with Endocytosis at Central Nerve Terminals
Central nerve terminals contain a limited number of synaptic vesicles (SVs) which mediate the essential process of neurotransmitter release during their activity-dependent fusion. The rapid and accurate formation of new SVs with the appropriate cargo is essential to maintain neurotransmission in mammalian brain. Generating SVs containing the correct SV cargo with the appropriate stoichiometry i...
متن کاملStokes Efficiency of Molecular Motor-Cargo Systems
A molecular motor utilizes chemical free energy to generate a unidirectional motion through the viscous fluid. In many experimental settings and biological settings, a molecular motor is elastically linked to a cargo. The stochastic motion of a molecular motor-cargo system is governed by a set of Langevin equations, each corresponding to an individual chemical occupancy state. The change of che...
