THE AUTHOR calls this the most serious of a group of cattle maladies that are commonly associated with the hardships and hazards of shipping—that is, the handling, neglect, or exposure of animals in transit or shortly afterward. It is an infectious disease which often terminates in death. The losses from shipping fever can be greatly reduced by careful management in shipping. Vaccination with b...

Shipping policies allow for deciding whether a query should be executed at the server, the client or distributed among these two. Given the limitations of public SPARQL endpoints, selecting appropriate shipping plans is crucial for successful query executions without harming the endpoint performance. We present PLANET, a query plan visualizer for shipping strategies against a single SPARQL endp...

© L p i Journal of Shipping and Trade (JST) is an open access and multi-disciplinary academic journal that focuses both shipping business and transport related areas. Shipping is closely associated with trading activities. JST aims to promote best practices in shipping and to facilitate global trade activities. JST provides a platform for academics and policy makers in the shipping and trade re...

A large number of data is needed by the computation of the objective Bayesian network, but the data is hard to get in actual computation. The calculation method of Bayesian network was improved in this paper, and the fuzzy-precise Bayesian network was obtained. Then, the fuzzy-precise Bayesian network was used to reason Bayesian network model when the data is limited. The security of passengers...

Shipping-fee charges by online retailers have been known to impact customers' order incidence and cart size. While the importance of managing shipping fees is well documented, few studies have provided normative guidelines for e-tailers to determine optimal shipping-fee schedules. This paper provides two nonlinear mixed-integer programming models to optimize e-tailers' shipping-fee charges for ...

Decarbonization is an ongoing issue in the shipping industry, and electric propulsion systems are being proposed as alternative solutions to satisfy this requirement. To answer fundamental questions of “Are green solution?” “Can DC distribution contribute decarbonization shipping?”, paper analyzed system electrical characteristics, economic feasibility, environmental evaluation for a full-scale...

Drop-shipping is an arrangement whereby an e-tailer, who does not hold inventories, processes orders and requests a manufacturer to ship products directly to the end customers. To explore the economic benefits of adopting drop-shipping distribution strategy in a competitive environment, we investigate the profitability and the efficiency of the drop-shipping channel as compared to the tradition...

Industry 4.0, as the most disruptive industrial revolution, is reshaping industries by coupling cyber to physical systems. The current digitalization has its root in digitization introduced 3.0, where it made a foundation for gradual migration 4.0. Respectively, Shipping 3.0 automation and computerized systems onboard ships paved way entering In turn, ultimate goal of 4.0 full autonomy through ...

With the incredible growth of containerization over the past half century, shipping lines and ports are facing increasing challenges in ensuring that containers arrive at their destinations on time and on budget. This dissertation addresses several critical problems to the operations of shipping lines and ports, and provides algorithms and mathematical models for use by shipping lines and port ...

Being aimed at the influence of ship-size and cargo-demand changes on container shipping networks, to reveal the evolution process of container shipping networks structure form, this paper respectively designed the operation models for two major container shipping networks structure forms: Multi-port-calling network and Hub-and-spoke network, to maximizing the investment efficiency. Based on th...
