We consider the situation of rearranging freight trains in a shunting yard with a hump and several tracks. Here, an elementary shunting operation is to push a all cars of one track over the hump. On the way back to the tracks the cars can be guided individually to an arbitrary track. The goal is to create one or several trains that have their cars in a particular order. We measure the efficienc...

and Applied Analysis 3 in the middle variable, and associative in the sense that x, y, z,w, v x, w, z, y , v x, y, z , w, v , and satisfies ‖ x, y, z ‖ ≤ ‖x‖ · ‖y‖ · ‖z‖ and ‖ x, x, x ‖ ‖x‖ see 45, 47 . Every left Hilbert C∗-module is a C∗-ternary algebra via the ternary product x, y, z : 〈x, y〉z. If a C∗-ternary algebra A, ·, ·, · has an identity, that is, an element e ∈ A such that x x, e, e ...

The logistics operation of container terminal can be exploded into several subsystems which are correlative, these subsystems connect by some handling facilities. This paper study the coordinated scheduling of three main kinds of facilities-Quay Crane(QC),Yard Truck(YT) and Yard Crane(YC), use multidisciplinary variable coupling design optimization method(MVCDO) to build YT coordinated scheduli...

The fate of the widely used lawn care herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) during the composting of yard trimmings consisting of primarily leaves and grass is an important unexplored question. In this study, we determined the extent of 2,4-D mineralization, incorporation into humic matter, volatilization, and sorption during the composting of yard trimmings. Yard trimmings (2:1 [wt/...

This paper deals with a simulation model of technological procedures in a marshalling yard. The structure of the model and its properties are described from the point of view of a user. Attention is paid namely to its flexibility and built in capacities of cooperative solution of problems during the simulation run.

In order to reduce the conflict of yard, vehicles and quay crane in the process of loading container, and upgrade safety of the ship stowage and transport economics, this paper took minimizing reshuffle times in yard and ship, minimizing the ship center of gravity, getting appropriate trim and minimizing the total moving distance of quay crane as optimization objectives to guarantee the balance...

As the flagship of Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH), Hongkong International Terminals (HIT) is the busiest container terminal on the planet. HIT receives over 10,000 trucks and 15 vessels a day, about six million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) a year. HIT makes hundreds of operational decisions a minute. HIT’s terminal management system, the productivity plus program (3P), optimizes resources...

Parental co-participation in physical activity (PA) may be a beneficial parenting practice for diminishing children's sedentary time (ST). Less information is available, however, on the explanatory role of co-participation in PA regarding parental educational differences in children's ST. Preschool-aged children (N = 864, mean age 4.8, 52% boys) with their parents participated in a cross-sectio...
