this study analyses the concept of cost functions for semi-automated straddle carrier (sc), rubber tyred gantry (rtg) and automated rail mounted gantry (rmg) container yard operating cranes. it develops a generic cost based model for a pair-wise comparison, analysis and evaluation of economic efficiency and effectiveness of container yard equipment to be used for decision-making by terminal pla...

sensitivity analysis might be considered as one of inevitable steps in modelling since it would help to determine the behaviour of model, which was developed for further application. sensitivity analysis was not paid much attention in studies that have been conducted for modelling the relationship between stream water quality and land cover except machine learning techniques such as artificial ...

The method of pseudo-static analysis has been widely used to perform seismic slope stability, in which a coefficient is represent the earthquake shaking effect. However, it important but difficult select magnitude coefficients, are inevitably subjected different levels uncertainties. This paper aimed study influences uncertainties on stability from perspective probabilistic sensitivity analysis...
