Comfortable propulsion and support, light weight, and small dimensions are important features that help preserve upper-limb integrity of manual wheelchair users and improve accessibility. The titanium wheelchair is a product developed in response to these goals, but none of the test results of titanium wheelchairs had been disclosed before this study was performed. We hypothesized that these ti...

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 ...

Heterogeneous plastic deformation behavior of a coarse-grained Al-0.5%Mg multicrystal was investigated experimentally at the individual grain level. A flat uniaxial tensile specimen consisting of a single layer of millimeter-sized grains was deformed quasi-statically up to an axial strain of 15% at room temperature. The initial local crystallographic orientations of the grains and their evoluti...

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...

Abstract The subject of the investigation is an elastic functionally graded hollow spherical device under internal pressure and homogeneous heating. Since in reality uncertain parameter values are to be expected with respect both basic material data influences manufacturing process, effects these uncertainties focus present study. For numerical results, specifically a container or vessel steel-...

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...

this study proposes a new linear approximation for solving the dynamic response equations of a rocking rigid block. linearization assumptions which have already been used by hounser and other researchers cannot be valid for all rocking blocks with various slenderness ratios and dimensions; hence, developing new methods which can result in better approximation of governing equations while keepin...
