To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, ports around the world are considering using electric cargo handling equipment. To assess the benefits of the strategy, this study provides a comparative life-cycle assessment between diesel and electric yard tractors in a case study of the Port of Los Angeles. Results indicate a significant reduction in life-cycle emissions as the port shifts to electric veh...

using an electric differential (ed) in electric vehicle has many advantages such as flexibility and direct torque control of the wheels during cornering and risky maneuvers. despite its reported successes and advantages, the ed has several problems limits its applicability, for instance, an increment of control loops and an increase of computational effort. in this paper, an electric differenti...

Moxibustion strengthens immunity and it is an effective treatment modality, but, depending on the material quantity, shape, and composition, the thermal strength and intensity can be difficult to control, which may cause pain or epidermal burns. To overcome these limitations, a heat stimulating system which is able to control the thermal intensity was developed. The temperature distributions on...

Implementing the objectives set at European and national level to minimize dependence on fossil fuels mitigate impact of transport environment by introducing fiscal facilities has led an increase in market for electric vehicles. This requires development expansion charging infrastructure The transition from supply classic fuel vehicles ones elimination some risks appearance new stations’ mainte...

Energy delivery at well construction in regions with hard climate is distinguished by variable demand in electric and heat power. Energy consumption of drilling equipment, production and living facilities varies greatly during the year, depending on power load charts and climate conditions. Power supply of remote well construction sites is mostly accomplished by operating autonomous power sourc...
