The goods movement via terminals at ports is a complex operation as it involves use of different modes of transport that includes surface and marine. In this paper, we present three simulation models which can be used to ...

A resilient system is one that is able to sustain disruptions by been able to operate close to the optimum or acceptable sub optimum performance by reconfiguring itself to accommodate the disruptions. Resiliency is an ...

We study the distribution of phases and amplitudes for the spectral representation of weighted moving averages of a general noise measure. The simple independent structure, known for the Gaussian case, and involving Rayleigh ...

Let Q be a quintic spline with equi-spaced knots on [a, b] interpolating a given function y at the knots. The parameters which determine Q are used to construct a piecewise defined polynomial P of degree six. It is shown ...

This paper deals with the identification of a zone permitting fluid to leak out of a drain. Using the analogy with crack identification by boundary measurements, we give uniqueness and stability results and we propose an ...

We consider the Dirichlet boundary value problem for Poisson's equation in an L-shaped region or a rectangle with a cross-point. In both cases, we approximate the Dirichlet problem using Legendre spectral collocation, that ...

The advance in research and development will make the deployment of automated vehicles a reality in the near future. At the initial stage, semi-automated vehicles with the capability to follow each other automatically in ...

Motivated by the existence of the thin film equations, fourth and sixth order, which are generalizations of the diffusion equation, we consider a sequence of higher order nonlinear diffusion-convection equations. We ...
