A neighborhood search heuristic for pre-marshalling export containers

In a yard where export containers are piled up, only those on the top are directly accessible to the stacking equipment. As a result, extra rehandles may occur when lifting them up for loading onto ships. One way to improve operational efficiency is to pre-marshal the containers in such an order that it fits the loading sequence. This paper proposes a model to develop a movement plan to improve the layout of containers in a bay. The proposed heuristic consists of a neighborhood search process, an integer programming model, and three minor subroutines. Each of the components plays a different role in the heuristic. Several sets of testing results demonstrate the performance of the heuristic as well as the contributions of the components.     

Group and individual heterogeneity in a stochastic frontier model: Container terminal operators

Container ports are a major component of international trade and the global supply chain. Hence, the improvement of port efficiency can have a significant impact on the wider maritime economy. This paper deconstructs a representation in the existing literature that neglects the heterogeneity of individual and group-specific terminal operators. In its place, we present a hierarchical model to make a connection between efficiency and terminal operator group characteristics. The paper develops a stochastic frontier model that controls not only individual heterogeneity but also group-specific variations. The model decomposes the total stochastic derivation from the frontier into inefficiency, individual heterogeneity, group-specific variations, and noise components, with the estimation being performed using Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations. The validity of the model is tested with a panel of container terminal operator data from 1997-2004. Our findings show that terminal operator groups are important in promoting terminal efficiency at the global level, and that the operators with stevedore backgrounds show a higher efficiency than carriers.     

A reusable CuSO4 · 5H2O/cationic 2,2′‐bipyridyl system catalyzed homocoupling of terminal alkynes in water

A reusable CuSO₄ · 5H₂O/cationic 2,2′‐bipyridyl system catalyzed the homocoupling reaction of terminal alkynes in water using I₂ as the additive in the presence or absence of tetrabutylammonium bromide, giving the 1,3‐diynes in good to high yields. After reaction, the residual aqueous solution could be reused several times. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

气体储罐泄漏扩散模型研究

安全评价中如何预测和模拟气体储罐完全破裂后介质在瞬间泄漏的动态扩散过程目前还没有合适的模型,通常只能借用环保领域中的高斯模型和Su tton模型,但环保领域的模型为稳态扩散模型,不含时间变量,并不适合动态扩散过程.目前开发的用有限元方法求解的计算机模型只能针对具体的装置进行模拟.本文根据F ick定律建立了气体扩散的动态模型,再限定气体储罐形状为最常见的圆柱形,确定了模型的初始条件和边界条件.通过坐标变换和两个积分变换:Fourier变换和适用于圆柱函数(Bessel函数)的H ankel变换,求出了此条件下扩散方程的解析解.     

Mathematical study of the small oscillations of an incompressible and inviscid liquid under zero gravity in a container of revolution with elastic bottom and anchored edge

In this paper, the Authors study the small oscillations of an inviscid liquid under zero gravity in a container of revolution with elastic bottom, considered as a membrane or a plate, and anchored edge. They obtain the equations of the displacements of the free surface and the bottom and they reduce these equations to a functional equation in a suitable Hilbert space. By using the methods of Functional Analysis the Authors prove the existence of the small oscillations. Research partially supported by GNFM, MURST (Italy).
