Cold ironing technology, recognized as a tool to reduce emissions while ships are at berth, has been introduced in several European ports aligning with the international and environmental legal framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The study aims identify prospects cold technology’s introduction into Croatian state-owned according sustainable conditions. authors surveyed group of por...

Many techniques for increasing the amount of instruction-level parallelism (ILP) put increased pressure on the registers inside a CPU. These techniques allow for more operations to occur simultaneously at the cost of requiring more registers to hold the operands and results of those operations, and importantly, more ports on the register banks to allow for concurrent access to the data. One app...

To present the results of our retrospective study on 49 totally implantable subcutaneous venous ports inserted in angiography unit under ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance. 49 subcutaneous venous chest ports were placed in 48 patients (mean age, 49.3±16.7 years). One patient underwent port implantation twice. All the ports had single lumen catheters. The procedures were performed under ultras...

This study investigates empirically the current level of competitiveness and the major areas for possible collaboration between two adjacent ports in China – Hong Kong port and Shenzhen port, both are among the top ten busiest container ports in the world – from the perspective of their users – freight forwarders and shipping lines. A self-administered questionnaire survey with measurement in L...

Container ports have been faced under increasing development during last 10 years. In such systems, the container transportation system has the most important effect on the total system. Therefore, there is a continuous need for the optimal use of equipment and facilities in the ports. Regarding the several complicated structure and activities in container ports, this paper evaluates and compar...

INTRODUCTION Central venous access devices facilitate home treatment in boys with haemophilia. These are usually fully implanted lines, referred to as ports. Caregivers are taught to manage the port using sterile techniques and maintaining patency by flushing with saline or heparin solution. National and international guidelines for the home care of ports are lacking. AIM To evaluate if infec...

BACKGROUND Implanted ports are frequently used for patients with cancer who require IV chemotherapy. In addition to verbal communication with healthcare providers, patients with cancer may benefit from written information. OBJECTIVES This pre/post study evaluated the effectiveness of an informational booklet by improving knowledge about ports and assessed the history, need, and preferences fo...

The Northeast Asia is emerging as the third hub of world economy next to EU and NAFTA. Neighboring countries in the region enter into keen competition to take the lead in global supply chain network. This competition is accelerated by the fast growing Chinese economy. Under these circumstances, it is necessary for container ports not only to extend the facilities but also to improve the operati...

The temporal semantics model represents software as a composed set of componentsC = {c1, c2, . . .}. An implementation of a component consists of a set of behaviors and ports, also called interfaces. Each behavior assigns values to output ports y based on inner states and the values on the input ports u. The sampling ports s and actuation ports z provide a link to the physical environment. Thro...
