Organized motions are hallmarks of living organisms. Such motions range from collective cell movements during development and muscle contractions at the macroscopic scale all the way down to cellular cargo (e.g., various biomolecules and organelles) transportation and mechanoforce sensing at more microscopic scales. Energy required for these biological motions is almost invariably provided by c...

This study aims to determine the impact of implementation sea toll program in providing logistics Southeast Sulawesi Province. The data collection method was carried out through field surveys and questionnaires. technique determining respondents uses purposive sampling techniques. analysis Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. results show that consistency government policies port ships re...

Forklift plays an important role in cargo handling the warehouse; therefore, it is necessary to ensure stability of forklift when turning guarantee safety transportation. In this study, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was improved by a genetic (GA), and parameters proportion, integration, differentiation (PID) controller were calculated using for steering control. Then simulation ex...

The paper evaluates technical and logistics developments that could lead to increased economic and technical efficiency of rail–road transport terminals. The main design parameters are identified (length and utilisation of transhipment tracks, train and truck arrival behaviour/patterns, type and number of handling equipment, mean stacking height in the storage area, terminal access system and p...

Directional transport of specific cargos is tuned to specific molecular motors and specific cytoskeletal tracks. Myosin V transports its cargo on actin cables, whereas kinesin or dynein transport their cargo on microtubules. A recent study shows that an engineered kinesin can substitute for myosin V and its cargo-specific transport and subsequent cellular functions.

Overhead cranes are under-actuated systems. They have three outputs that need to be controlled, consisting of cargo swing angle, trolley displacement, and suspended cable length, but only two actuators: cargo lifting and trolley driving forces. The main objective of this study is to design a robust controller for an overhead crane that transfers cargo from point to point as fast as possible and...

The faithful segregation of duplicated genetic material into daughter cells is critical to all organisms. In many bacteria, the segregation of chromosomes involves transport of "centromere-like" loci over the main body of the chromosome, the nucleoid, mediated by a two-protein partition system: a nonspecific DNA-binding ATPase, ParA, and an ATPase stimulator, ParB, which binds to the centromere...

Clathrin-coated vesicles carry traffic from the plasma membrane to endosomes. We report here the real-time visualization of cargo sorting and endocytosis by clathrin-coated pits in living cells. We have detected the formation of coats by monitoring incorporation of fluorescently tagged clathrin or its adaptor AP-2; we have also followed clathrin-mediated uptake of transferrin and of single LDL ...

The goal of this paper is to present the design and development of a low cost cargo transit system which can be adapted in developing countries like India where there is abundant and cheap human labour which makes the process of automation in any industry a challenge to innovators. The need of the hour is an automation system that can diligently transfer cargo from one place to another and mini...
