China-Pakistan Economic Corridor: An Economic Corridor or a Corridor to Great Power Politics

Comparison of the Economic Profitability of a Conventional Freight-Dedicated Railway Corridor and a Heavy Load Freight Corridor

By using mathematical models, this paper will compare the economic profitability of a heavy load freight corridor (30 t per axle) with a conventional freight-dedicated railway corridor (22.5 t per axle). This comparison concerns the construction and operation of a new, single-track of normal gauge, exclusively for freight traffic, and takes into account various demand values of freight volume (...

I sometimes hear of medical students in midstream wondering whether they have chosen the right profession or more definitely stating that they have made a mistake. This often arises from exhaustion by the scientific pressures of the first three years, and I can only say that it is ra...

Corridor Selection and Fine Tuning for the Corridor Method

In this paper we present a novel hybrid algorithm, in which ideas from the genetic algorithm and the GRASP metaheuristic are cooperatively used and intertwined to dynamically adjust a key parameter of the corridor method, i.e., the corridor width, during the search process. In addition, a fine-tuning technique for the corridor method is then presented. The response surface methodology is employ...
