The sudden increase in containerization volumes around the globe has increased overall number of cargo losses, infrastructure damage, and human errors. Most critical losses occur during handling procedures performed by port cranes while sliding containers to inner bays ship along vertical cell guides, damaging main metal frames causing structure deform lose its integrity stability. Strong physi...

Traction power supply equipments are the core part of the high-speed railway, so the maintenance of the power supply system is crucial for the security of the railway. Based on the research on the durable years of the traction power supply equipments, this paper puts forward the model of testing the traction power supply equipments of the reliable high speed railway. Some practical researches h...

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 ...

The role of ports goes far beyond the traditional function of a pure transport node linking sea and landside transportation. Rather, many ports offer value-added logistics and auxiliary services leading to a network of container flows. Moreover, containers may need to be transferred between different areas within the port. Information exchange and optimization is necessary to efficiently coordi...

BACKGROUND Chemotherapy medications place nurses at risk for occupational exposure, a primary nursing safety concern. No literature was available on adherence to following chemotherapy handling practices and nurses' perceptions of safe-handling practices. OBJECTIVES The aims of the pilot study were to examine actual and subjective ambulatory oncology nurse adherence to chemotherapy safe-handl...

Maritime transport remains the dominant mode for international trade both for bulk transport of commodities and containerized break-bulk cargo. The economics of bulk transport still influence trade patterns and industrial location. Intermodal transport has become a global phenomenon as mechanized handling and containerization have reduced handling costs between modes and promoted their efficien...

Edge computing provides physical resources closer to end users, becoming a good complement cloud computing. With the rapid development of container technology and microservice architecture, orchestration has become hot issue. However, container-based scheduling problem in edge is still urgent be solved. In this paper, we first formulate as multi-objective optimization problem, aiming optimize n...

Cost-management systems play a significant role in the operations management of container terminal companies; however, complex loading and discharging operations, traditional Activity-Based Costing (ABC) are costly difficult to be built maintained. A modified Time-Driven ABC method, considering all procedures required obtain final product estimating resource usage accordingly, has emerged respo...
