Purpose: The following investigation aims to deal with the competitive relationship among different warehouses & ports in the same company. Design/methodology/approach: In this paper, Game Theory is used in carrying out the optimization model. Genetic Algorithm is used to solve the model. Findings: Unnecessary competition will rise up if there is little internal communication among different wa...

We analyze an optical 3-port reflection grating by means of a scattering matrix formalism. Amplitude and phase relations between the 3 ports, i.e. the 3 orders of diffraction are derived. Such a grating can be used as an all-reflective, low-loss coupler to Fabry-Perot cavities. We derive the input output relations of a 3-port grating coupled cavity and find distinct properties not present in 2-...

This chapter is an empirical attempt to identify the nature and regional dimension of port-city relationships on a world scale. Although general processes of such relationships can be identified in the literature, regional variations are still not well understood when dealing with the insertion of port cities in the global transport chain. An analysis of a world sample is proposed using simple ...

in this paper, the large amount of sedimentation and the resultant shoreline advancements at the breakwaters of beris fishery port are studied. a series of numerical modeling of waves, sediment transport, and shoreline changes were conducted to predict the complicated equilibrium shoreline. the outputs show that the nearshore directions of wave components are not perpendicular to the coast whic...

The recent studies show that the past researches may have significantly underestimated earthquake and tsunami hazard in the Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ) and this region is potentially capable of producing major earthquakes. In this study, the worst case possible earthquake scenarios of the MSZ are simulated using fully nonlinear boussinesq model to investigate tsunami hazards on the Jask Port, ...

background: subglottic stenosis is defined as inflammatory narrowing of the airway. it can be related to trauma, intubation, autoimmune disorders, vascular malformations, infection and congenital abnormalities. pot-wine stain (pws) is a small dermis venous malformation which is present at birth. pws is found on face and neck, but can occur in throat and can cause subglottic stenosis. case repor...

introduction: klippel–trenaunay syndrome (kts) is a rare congenital mesodermal abnormality characterized by varicose veins, cutaneous capillary malformation, as well as bone and soft tissue hypertrophy. case report: a 2-week-old female infant presented to our clinic because of vascular nevus and progressive enlargement of her right extremities and trunk since birth. the patient was treated with...

the globalization and urban development concepts are closely linked to each other. however, all cities around the world are not affected same by globalization, each one has its spatial and reciprocal international-local action. the international changes of economy, culture, and politics have huge effects on restructuring of cities around the world. the present study as a descriptive-analytical ...

this study proposes a method employing thermogravimetric analysis (tg) to predict pollutionlevels by heavy metals (cr, cu, ni, zn, pb, cd and hg) in port sediments close to urban and industrial sitesfrom bay of cádiz. for this purpose, the thermogravimetric results of 14 sediment samples were recorded andshowed two characteristic ranges of temperatures (w1 as weight loss, %: 200-650°c) vs. (w2 ...

conclusion our data suggest that catheter malfunctions of ticvps are more common in females than males. the incidence of ticvp malfunctions does not differ between the two devices (celsite® vs. humanport®). background malfunctions of totally implantable central venous ports (ticvps) have become a problem, as the usage of ticvps has increased enormously. objectives this study evaluated factors r...
