in coastal areas, hydrodynamic factors make changes in shorelines geomorphology. this can affect coastal facilities and cause hazards to human societies in the areas. this study has investigated the influence of wave and tide properties on khamir port, hormoz strait in coast of persian gulf. the purpose of the study is to make a mathematical regional and local modeling of water level fluctuatio...

significant advantages of intermodal and containerized transport have increased the global interest to this mode of transportation. this growing interest is reflected in the annual volume of container cargo growth. however, the container transport inside iran does not have a proper place. comparing the count of containers entering and leaving ports with the statistics obtained from railway and ...

Port-wine stain is a vascular malformation characterized pathologically by ectasia of superficial dermal capillaris and clinically by persistent macular erythema. The association of a port-wine stain on a limb with soft tissue swelling, with or without bony overgrowth, is termed klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Phakomatosis pigmento-vascularis is a combination of port-wine stain and cutaneous ...

BACKGROUND An implantable port device provides an easily accessible central route for long-term chemotherapy. Venous catheter migration is one of the rare complications of venous port implantation. It can lead to side effects such as pain in the neck, shoulder, or ear, venous thrombosis, and even life-threatening neurologic problems. To date, there are few published studies that discuss such co...

The variable displacement pump control system has greater energy-saving advantages and application prospects than the valve control system. However, the variable displacement pump control of differential cylinder is not concurrent with the existing technologies. The asymmetric pump-controlled cylinder is, therefore, used to balance the unequal volume flow through a single rod cylinder in closed...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the current study was to evaluate whether a totally implanted valved subcutaneous port system would have fewer complications as compared to a standard nonvalved port. METHODS Study subjects requiring port placement were randomized to receive a valved port (PASV; Boston Scientific, Natick, MA) or a nonvalved port (BardPort; Bard Accesss Systems, Salt Lake City, UT). E...

This paper studies the comparison of two kinds of port regulation modes – the centralization mode and the decentralization mode – using principal-agent theory and dynamic game theory. The optimal tariffs, port capacities and port efficiency levels under these two regulation modes are determined. The theoretical results are applied to the container terminals in Port of Shanghai in China. Sensiti...

ions A first-order abstraction in the ρpg-calculus consists of two object port graphs for the leftand the right-hand sides, and an arrow node embedding the correspondence between the two sides. The arrow node has two particular ports, a handler port p0 and a black hole port bh. Some restrictions must be imposed on the connectivity of these two types of ports. A handler port can be connected onl...

Ship detection is a crucial application for global monitoring for environment and security. It permits to monitor traffic, fisheries, and to associate ships with oil discharge. An automatic ship detection approach for RADARSAT Fine Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image is described and assessed using in situ ship validation information collected during field experiments conducted on August 6, 20...
