the exponential growth of urbanization leads to increase in severity of environmental problemsespecially assonated with disposal of solid waste. with considering the increasing rate of solid waste generation in urban area, the problem of availability of space required to dispose it off is become a concern for planners and administrators of urban local bodies (ulb). in order to cope up with the ...

A spherical pendulum-type model was constructed to represent liquid sloshing in a cylindrical container caused by container transfer along a curved path. The model was used to design a curved path and a transfer control system in consideration of the damping of sloshing in the container. The curvature radius of the curved path and the acceleration of the container were determined using an input...

This paper elaborates the different operations research methods used to solve container terminal operational decisions including terminal design, berth allocation, quay crane assignment, quay crane scheduling, container storage space allocation, container location assignment, retrieval, and premarshalling, as well as resource scheduling and terminal logistics in general. Solution methods includ...

Freight networks are a case of systems that multiple participants are composing interrelations along the complete supply chain. Their interrelations correspond to alternative behavior, namely, cooperation, non-cooperation and competition, while they are large-scale spatially distributed systems combining multiple means of transportation and the infrastructure and equipment typically utilized fo...

Demand for business intelligence solutions continues to grow in the industry at record rates to combat competitive pressures and to attain business agility. Still organizations continue to struggle on how to implement successful business intelligence solutions. Despite its growing popularity and maturity as a field, it appears that organizations follow key guidelines that ensure the failure of ...

In this paper I discuss the grammatical properties of container phrases in Yudja (Tupi; Brazil). I show that container phrases are syntactically indistinguishable from locative phrases. Based on two experimental studies with Yudja children and adults, I address two questions about the interpretation of container phrases. First, given that container constructions are identical to locative constr...

In this paper, we will use the time series analysis method to predict the throughput of the research, through the establishment of time series SARIMA model, using the January-February 2017 domestic container throughput statistics of the main container port forecast from March 2017 to December 2020 container throughput data and analyze the trend of the throughput of major container ports in Chin...

This paper presents a combinational Hybrid Genetic Algorithm (HGA) with packing tuning approach for solving Three Dimensional (3D) Single container arbitrary sized heterogeneous bin packing optimization problem, by considering practical constraints in the shipment container loading industries. Aim of this paper is to (i) pack 3D arbitrary sized heterogeneous bins in to a container. (ii) Improve...

The current financial crisis seems to be seriously affecting the freight transport system. In this scenario, transport terminals play a crucial role to avert the risk of recession by increasing their efficiency and automation. Only in this way is it possible both to reduce the price of the services offered (loading, unloading, dwelling, logistic services ...) and increase terminal earnings. In ...

In this paper, the skew control of the load (container) in the quay crane used in the dockside of a container terminal is investigated. The mathematical model of the 3-dimensional (3D) motions of the load is first derived. The container hooked to a spreader is suspended by four ropes in air. When the container is accelerated by the trolley or is disturbed by winds, it will make a rotational mot...
