We shall sketch a domain description of the (or at least a) container line industry with containers, container vessels, container stowage, container terminal ports with quays, container vehicles, quay cranes, stacks, stack cranes, transfer areas, etc., and with nets of sea lanes, container lines, bills of materials, logistics, etc. A domain description, according to [1], is a precise informal, ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Container-breeding mosquitoes, especially Aedes spp are vectors of diseases such as dengue and chikungunya. The abundance of these disease vectors in an area depends on the availability of container habitats and their physicochemical characteristics. The species composition of container-breeding mosquitoes in Asom, India was studied and the larval density was correlated ...

A general purpose 2D CAD system was established by Object-Oriented technology. Key technologies for realizing the system were introduced. The methods for forming shape container, manipulating shape container and constructing graph template library were described in detail. Basic shapes, such as line, rectangle, ellipse, polygon, B-Spline curve and textbox, can be grouped to be a shape container...

Management of container terminal operations is essentially the allocation and scheduling of the expensive resources such as berths, quay cranes, storage space, yard cranes, and container carriers. Each of these resources plays an indispensable role in the interlocking processes in a container terminal. In this survey we give a critical review and a comparative study on various decision problems...

This paper presents a novel approach for experimentally simulating various environmental conditions and container parameters on air conditioning and refrigeration (AC&R) systems. The proposed emulation technique uses a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system to simulate the loading conditions on the evaporator during experimental testing. The evaporator air inlet conditions are controlled with a smal...

The container pre-marshaling problem (PMP) is an important optimization problem that arises in terminals where containers are stacked in bays before they are collected by vessels. However, if a due container is stacked underneath other containers, it is blocked, and additional relocations are necessary to retrieve the container from the bay, which can cause significantly delays. To avoid this e...

This study presented participants with conditional statements with content that was group-related, container-related, and a combination of group and container. Participants received modus ponens, modus tollens, denying the antecedent, affirming the consequent, and inconsistent forms of conditional arguments. Results demonstrated a significant advantage of the group over the container wording fo...

Leading topic of this article is description of Lorentz forces in the container with cuboid and cylindrical shape. Inside of the container is an electrically conductive melt. This melt is driven by rotating magnetic field. Input data for comparing Lorentz forces in the container with cuboid shape were obtained from the computing program NS-FEM3D, which uses DDS method of computing. Values of Lo...

Container stacking rules are an important factor in container terminal efficiency. We build on prior research and use a discrete-event simulation model to evaluate the impact of a truck announcement system on the performance of online container stacking rules. The information that is contained in the announcement, i.e., the expected departure time for an import container, can be used to schedul...

Containers are ubiquitous in daily life. By container, we consider any physical object that can contain other objects, such as bowls, bottles, baskets, trash cans, refrigerators, etc. In this paper, we are interested in following questions: What is a container? Will an object contain another object? How many objects will a container hold? We study those problems by evaluating human cognition of...
