Ports and terminals open to prevailing winds can cause problems to moored ships with a high freeboard. Such ships, i.e. ship and berth mooring systems, have to deal with signifi cant aerodynamic loads.Th is paper addresses the theoretical approach of the infl uence of aerodynamic loads on a mooring system for ship and investigates whether windscreens can reduce aerodynamic loads on ships in ports
The sea surface roughness parameterization scheme developed by Pan, Sha et al. (PS07) bears a relation to wave age, and the dimensionless form of roughness length can be expressed with the relation with significant wave height. Based on 4 experiments (HEXMAX, RASEX, BIO steady platform, Lake Ontario Data), we make an attempt tovalidate the suitability of the PS07 scheme under different wind fet…
The purpose of this paper is to propose a wage incentive plan for branch managers of multi-branch firms. The incentive payment is calculated according to each branch’s performance and its relative rank, taking into consideration commonvariables, regional variables andmanagerial skill variables.
The dimensionless roughness length derived from dimensional analysis bears a relation to wave age, and the dimensionless form of roughness length can be expressed with the relation with a significant wave height. Based on six experiments (HEXMAX, RASEX, BIO steady platform, Lake Ontario data analysis FETCH, CBLAST low wind), we verified that the Charnock parameter, z , and dimensionless rough…

The state government of Sarawak in Malaysia approved construction of the proposed 275MW Trusan hydroelectric plant on Trusan River. The scheme will be executed by Sarawak Energy. The plant is slated to start power generation as early as 2019, according to state officials, although a timeframe for construction is yet to be revealed (Hydro World).
This paper presents an application of the exact solution approach for theVehicle Routing Problem with Soft Time Windows based on the column generation scheme developed earlier by the authors, for evaluating a truck ban scheme from the environmental improvement aspect on a realistic logistics instance based on the Vehicle Information and Communication System data, which is an Intelligent Transpo…
