One of the primary modes for worldwide trade of goods is maritime transport, which is exposed to rapid growth. In order to handle the increase of the traffic in ports, optimization of port operations has been studied and implemented in the past. In container terminals, significant amount of work has been done in the field of large scale optimization. In published literature, the main focus lies...

A general purpose Gamma Box Counter is a large scale, high-resolution segmented gamma-ray nondestructive assay system for the assay of nuclear waste containers covering a wide range of composition, mass, and geometry. In order to accurately quantify the activity of the radionuclides in a waste container, a correction for the gamma-ray self-attenuation in the waste matrix must be estimated and a...

Design of container terminal operations is complex because multiple factors affect the operational performance. These factors include: topological constraints, a large number of design parameters and settings, and stochastic interactions that interplay among the quayside, vehicle transport, and stackside processes. In this research, we propose new integrated queuing network models for rapid des...

Today, along with enhancement of social well-being andeconomic development, demand for transportation is growing increasingly.Many countries are seeking for providing transportation servicesat a reasonable price. Therefore, optimization of carrying goods on nationalor international roads is highly important in terms of costs andtransportation indicator, so that the goods are shipped at minimumc...

Floods can transport debris of a very wide range dimensions, from cohesive sediments to large floating debris, such as trees and cars. The latter increases the risk associated with floods by, for example, obstructing flow or damaging structures due impact. this type their interaction are often studied experimentally in context tsunamis flash floods. Numerical studies on problem rare, therefore ...

Container ships represent the fastest growing segment of maritime transport. The need to reduce unit transportation costs and environmental impact has led development most capacious ultra-large container operating on world's major shipping routes. A representative database was created further subdivided according main technical parameters. Using a simple cubic regression model, based least squa...

The double travelling salesman problem with multiple stacks (DTSPMS) is a pickup and delivery problem in which all pickups must be completed before any deliveries can be made. The problem originates from a real-life application where a 40 foot container (configured as 3 columns of 11 rows) is used to transport up to 33 pallets from a set of pickup customers to a set of delivery customers. The p...
