The present study was performed to investigate the effect of commercial and operational factors on competitiveness improvement of Shahid Beheshti Port (SBP) in Chabahar in attracting shipping lines. The research method is applied in terms of purpose. Initially, the researcher conducted the qualitative phase to identify important variables, create a typology, or make new theories. To reach the s...

Many methods have been adopted by shipping operators to evaluate, analyze and select ports of calls. Majority of these methods are generally based on evaluating different port performance criteria involved. The ports performance criteria are interrelated and are of a complex nature. Comparison of ports by different evaluation methods provides a basis for implementing operating strategies for...

Over the past two decades, maritime transportation and container traffic worldwide has experienced rapid and continuous growth. With the increase in maritime transportation volume, the issue of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission has become one of the new concerns for port managers. Port managers and government agencies for sustainable development of maritime transportation considered "green ports" t...

Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is an effective treatment for port- wine stain and can cause some short- term and long- term side- effects. Pyogenic granoluma is one of its late- onset adverse effects. Herein, we present two cases of pyogenic granoluma following treatment of port- wine stain with PDL.

sea surface topography (sst) by definition is the separation between the geoid and the mean sea level (msl). the separation between the geoid and msl is caused by various non-gravitational physical effects. if determination of the geoid as the zero point of the height systems from the tide gauge observation be the goal, it is necessary that the affect of the physical effect be precisely compute...

Hydrogen induction strategy in ICE plays a vital role in increasing the power density and prohibiting combustion anomalies. This paper inspects the performance characteristics of cylinder hydrogen fueled engine with port injection feeding strategy (PIH2ICE). To that end, a one dimensional gas dynamic model has been built to represent the flow and heat transfer in the components of the engine. T...

INTRODUCTION Single-port thoracoscopic surgery has widened the current minimally invasive surgical techniques toward more less invasive procedures in terms of reducing the number of incisions. However, the current status of oncologic outcome with this technique is not well known for lung cancer surgery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the oncologic outcomes in early stage lung cancer f...

It also important analyze justify parametric features positioning transport enterprises. First all, it necessary account: factors development global trade market, trends prospects industry, state competitive port bus...

given the critical role played by urban green spaces and the emergence of remote sensing as avaluable natural resource management tool, this study sought to identify trends in green spaces within thecontext of south africa’s transition period (1990 - 2000). using the city of port elizabeth as a case study, threesets of landsat - 5 thematic mapper images (1990, 1995 and 2000) were geo-processed,...

this study investigated single-step extraction of heavy metals from contaminated sedimentscollected in the port of cádiz. experimental tests of washing with an aqueous solution of a chelating agent wereperformed at selected solid/liquid (s/l) ratios. two chelating agents were chosen: 0.3 m edta(ph 3.8 and 8)and sodium citrate (1 m). the objective of the tests was to investigate extractive decon...
