Intelligent Optimization Scheduling Strategy for Energy Consumption Reduction for Equipment in Open-Pit Mines Based on Enhanced Genetic Algorithm

Energies
To achieve a rational allocation of real-time operational equipment, such as excavators and dump trucks, in open-pit mines, and thereby enhance truck–shovel coordination, this paper addresses the challenges posed by unreasonable on-site scheduling, which

Infrastructure, Geographical Disadvantage, and Transport Costs [PDF]

, 1999
December 1999 The median landlocked country has only 30 percent of the trade volume of the median coastal economy. Halving transport costs increases that trade volume by a factor of five. Improving the standard of infrastructure from that of the bottom quarter of countries to that of the median country increases trade by 50 percent.

The role of lipid metabolism in neuronal senescence

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Disrupted lipid metabolism, through alterations in lipid species or lipid droplet accumulation, can drive neuronal senescence. However, lipid dyshomeostasis can also occur alongside neuronal senescence, further amplifying tissue damage. Delineating how lipid‐induced senescence emerges in neurons and glial cells, and how it contributes to ageing and ...

Markups, quality, and transport costs [PDF]

European Economic Review, 2012
This paper provides new evidence on trade prices based on firm-level data from France. It shows that firms charge higher free-on-board (net of transportation costs, hereafter noted as fob) unit values on exports to more distant countries. This finding holds within firms and products, and across destinations.
