Online rules for container stacking [PDF]
, 2010 Container stacking rules are an important factor in container terminal efficiency. In this paper, we investigate two concepts to increase efficiency and compare them to several benchmark algorithms, using a discrete-event simulation tool.

Ultracapacitors for port crane applications: Sizing and techno-economic analysis [PDF]
, 2020 The use of energy storage with high power density and fast response time at container terminals (CTs) with a power demand of tens of megawatts is one of the most critical factors for peak reduction and economic benefits. Peak shaving can balance the load

Modeling and Design of Container Terminal Operations [PDF]
, 2014 Design of container terminal operations is complex because multiple factors affect the operational perfor- mance. These factors include: topological constraints, a large number of design parameters and settings, and stochastic interactions that interplay

Modelling of integrated vehicle scheduling and container storage problems in unloading process at an automated container terminal [PDF]
, 2016 Effectively scheduling vehicles and allocating storage locations for containers are two important problems in container terminal operations. Early research efforts, however, are devoted to study them separately. This paper investigates the integration of

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Large palynological collections have been built over decades and contain vital information. However, they are often difficult to access and use effectively. What is the point of having such collections if they are not fully utilizable? To solve this problem, we digitized the Smithsonian palynological collection using both light and confocal microscopy.

European Journal of Operational Research, 2017 This paper studies the effect of a handshake area on the performance of twin automated stacking cranes (ASCs) operating on top of a stack with transfer zones at both seaside and landside. The handshake area is a temporary storage location so that one crane can start a request and leave the container there for the other crane to complete the request. By

Cognitive Networks for Knowledge Modeling: A Gentle Introduction for Data‐ and Cognitive Scientists
WIREs Cognitive Science, Volume 17, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Cognitive network science helps organize associative knowledge—that is, the connections between concepts. These connections play a key role in cognitive processes such as language understanding and context interpretation, even though they are not obvious in language use.
