filed experiment was conducted to study the effect of manure and various combinations of foxtail millet and mungbean intercropping on the grain yield, weed performance,and the nutrients concentration in millet. the experimental design was a split plot with three replications. main plots were differentmanure rates (0, 15 and 30 t ha-1) and the subplots comprised five combinations of intercroppin...

The yard operation plays an important role in the daily running of a container terminal. Whether the efficiency of a terminal can be improved depends to a significant extent on the operation of its container yard. In order to analyze the yard operation, this paper builds a 3D simulation model to simulate and visualize the yard operation in a container terminal. First, we study the characteristi...

yard crane is an important resource in container terminals. efficient utilization of the yard crane significantly improves the productivity and the profitability of the container terminal. this paper presents a mixed integer programming model for the yard crane scheduling problem with non- interference constraint that is nphard in nature. in other words, one of the most important constraints in...

This paper studies the simultaneous reshuffle and yard crane scheduling problem in the yard of container terminals, which is one of the key logistics problems affecting the operation efficiency in container terminals. Although the reshuffle scheduling problem has received many research attention due to its importance, the problem without considering yard crane is not very practical, which is be...

Monosaccharides such as glucose contribute to the development of meat flavor upon heating via the Maillard reaction; therefore, monosaccharide content is related to beef palatability. Here, we analyzed the effects of genetic and environmental factors on the content of glycogen, one of the precursors of monosaccharides, in the muscles of 958 fattened Japanese Black cattle from Yamagata Prefectur...
