A Novel Sliding Mode Control with Low-Pass Filter for Nonlinear Handling Chain System in Container Ports

open access: yesComplexity, 2020
Nonlinearities in a container port handling chain include mainly nonnegative arrive rate of container cargoes, limited container handling completion rate, and nonnegative unsatisfied freight requirement constraints.

Measuring Container Port Complementarity and Substitutability with Automatic Identification System (AIS) Data - Studying the Inter-port Relationships in the Oslo Fjord Multi-port Gateway Region [PDF]

open access: yesTransNav, 2017
This paper considers the degree of competition among small and medium-sized container ports located in a multi-port gateway region. The level of port competition is evaluated by means of an analysis of the revealed preferences in the port-calling pattern

Tough and Skin‐Free Porous Polyelectrolyte Complex Hydrogels via Salt‐Induced Aqueous Phase Separation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Controlling counterion exchange rate during aqueous phase separation enables the formation of skin‐free, homogeneously porous polyelectrolyte complex hydrogels by suppressing kinetically trapped skin layers and macrovoids. The resulting hydrogel networks exhibit exceptional toughness (∼15 MJ·m−3) and enable 3D (bio)printing and post‐functionalization ...

Mineral Deposition From Liquid Precursors Triggered by Complementary Polyelectrolytes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Polyelectrolyte additives can delay or prevent crystal nucleation in supersaturated solutions of insoluble mineral salts such as calcium carbonate. This work reports that adding a second, oppositely‐charged polyelectrolyte leads to immediate mineral crystallization from such metastable solutions.

Hub Status and Indexation of Container Ports

open access: yesAsian Journal of Shipping and Logistics, 2015
Although ports play a traditional role as loading and connecting centers for cargo and passengers, container ports as intermodal junctions have undergone continuous and diverse changes since the late 1950s as a result of technological advancements and ...

A decision support tool for container terminal optimization within the berth subsystem

open access: yesTransport, 2016
The article deals with a current problem faced by all ports: how to enable container terminals to keep up with the development of container ships, which, due to economies of scale, are constantly increasing in size.

3D Hydrodynamic Flow Lithography

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Continuous‐ and stop‐flow lithography are widely used to fabricate multi‐dimensional microstructures whose cross‐sectional morphology is dictated by the flow profile of multiple co‐flowing streams. Here, we introduce three‐dimensional hydrodynamic flow lithography (3D HFL), a platform for programmable generation of multi‐layered flow profiles ...

Container port efficiency: comparison of Adriatic ports with other Italian ports using non-radial DEA

open access: yesTransportation Research Procedia
Ports are an important part of the transportation system and important trading centers where sea and land traffic meet. The Adriatic ports and other Italian ports are located on busy traffic routes. Through their trade with other European, African and Asian ports, they are internationally networked.
