Regulating seaports is difficult in general, even more so for the weak regulatory institutions common in developing countries. For this reason some countries have awarded these facilities via Demsetz auctions, to the port operator that bids the lowest cargo-handling fee. A major concern with Demsetz auctions in this context, is that the winning operator may integrate with a shipper and monopoli...

Chronic degeneration of the Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) is a precursor to 22 pathological changes in the outer retina. The RPE monolayer, which lies beneath the 23 neuroretina, daily internalises and digests large volumes of spent photoreceptor outer 24 segments. Impaired cargo handling and processing in the endocytic/phagosome and 25 autophagy pathways leads to the accumulation of lipofus...

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 ...

Background: Anecdotal information has suggested that sodium benzoate is used with more than permissible doses during production steps of food products especially pickles and pickled cucumbers in food producing factories in Markazi province and other food producing factories . The present study was done to evaluate factual concentration of sodium benzoate in these products. Methods: In this ...

Today, freight volumes on roads have gone up to a level that there is a need for alternative transport modes. Short Sea Shipping (SSS) is one alternative with a potential that can help reduce the high traffic on roads. Most SSS systems use vessels whereby cargo is rolled on and off using a ramp with very small capacities usually less than 500 TEU, but with increasing cargo traffic, it is not cl...
