Intercostal drainage tubes (ie, chest tubes) are inserted to drain the pleural cavity of air, blood, pus, or lymph. The water-seal container connected to the chest tube allows one-way movement of air and liquid from the pleural cavity. The container should not be changed unless it is full, and the chest tube should not be clamped unnecessarily. After a chest tube is inserted, a nurse trained in...

It is investigated that nearly 86% containers were transferred by roads connection transport at Shenzhen port with the high-speed developing steps of Chinese economy. For a long time, Shenzhen container-trailer enterprises have provided essential and efficient logistics service for every dock. However, problems as operated by many bodies, small scale, decentralized business and poor competitive...

Supply chains are the backbone of trade and commerce. Their logistics use different transport corridors on regular basis for operation al purpose. The international supply chain transport corridors include different infrastructure elements (e.g. weighbridge, package handling equipments, border clearance authorities, and so on). Th is paper presents th e use of multi-agent systems (MAS) to model...

The article is devoted to the problem of assessing feasibility switching part road transport in areas adjacent Unified Deep-water System Russia delivery schemes using inland waterway transport. Container cargoes passing through seaports are considered as potential cargo flows. main directions these flows and their volumes determined. magnitude decrease average range calculated. conditions under...

This work is aimed at characterizing the Megapie target in terms of main contributors to the activity, modification of the chemical composition as well as residue and volatile gas production. Calculations are performed with the nuclear transport code MNCPX2.5.0 coupled to the evolution code CINDER’90. In this work, we provide results for the lead-bismuth and its container. A sensitivity analysi...

We simulated the translocation process of a polymer chain from a source container to a drain container through a short nanochannel. We utilized the bond fluctuation model coupled with Monte Carlo dynamics in our simulations. The calculation results show that the excluded volume effect significantly affects the polymer's translocation time tau. This time depends nonmonotonically on the polymer l...

Container transport, an integral part of intercontinental trade, has steadily increased over the past few decades. The productivity of such a system, in part, hinges on the efficient allocation of terminal resources such that the container transit time is minimized. This study provides an analytical framework, which entails efficient scheduling of quay and yard cranes, to minimize the time spen...

This chapters offers a detailed overview of how the carbon footprint of a typical container (TEU) is calculated and how it can be recalculated to see changes with variables, the primary ones being alternative routing, transportation mode, cost, time. It demonstrates, for example, just how carbon intensive transport is by truck. It notes that the alternative scenarios, (e.g., where a Distributio...

A dynamic MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol demonstrator for ATM PON (Passive Optical Network) was realised and tested. The prototype is based on a SuperPON transport system, which allows implementing downstream grants per ONT (Optical Network Termination) or subdivided per T-Cont class (Transfer Container) and upstream requests by piggybacking or dedicated polling slots. The demonstrator pl...
