Intermodal transport is an efficient solution for reducing greenhouse gases of freight transport but it requires intermodal terminals, where the transfer between modes can occur. The location of these terminals is a key factor for achieving economic and environmental competitiveness. A bi-objective model for the intermodal terminal location-allocation problem is developed. The focus is on road ...

Waterway and canal systems are particularly cost effective in the transport of bulk and containerized goods to support global trade. Yet, despite these benefits, they are among the most under-appreciated forms of transportation engineering systems. Looking ahead, the long-term view is not rosy. Failures, delays, incidents and accidents in aging waterway systems are doing little to attract the t...

The success of Example-Based Machine Translation (EBMT) often depends upon how efficient the adaptation scheme is. Adaptation primarily aims at modifying retrieved examples to meet the required demands of a given translation task. The present work looks at adaptation for EBMT from English to Hindi. This paper describes a rule-driven adaptation scheme for modifying a retrieved translation exampl...

Many organizations have recognized that knowledge is the most important resource in today’s economy. With regards to knowledge-based views of the firm, organizations are actively embracing knowledge management with the expectation of acquiring and maintaining high levels of organizational performance. The relationship between knowledge management (KM) and organizational performance has been the...

The estuarine crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) is the apex-predator in waterways and coastlines throughout south-east Asia and Australasia. C. porosus pose a potential risk to humans, and management strategies are implemented to control their movement and distribution. Here we used GPS-based telemetry to accurately record geographical location of adult C. porosus during the breeding and nesting s...

Florida's coasts have been transformed over the past three decades as population growth and unprecedented demand for individual shore access to bays and estuaries led to the creation of residential canal developments. Thousands of miles of channels and basins were dredged as a by-product of this urbanization process. The navigable waterways that resulted are now being stressed by increasing boa...
