Co-operation and competition in international container transport: strategies for ports

This paper focuses on the response of port authorities to the changing market environment in which they operate. It documents the changes taking place in the relationships between port authorities and terminal management companies and considers the strategic issues faced by these groups and other port interests. In particular, it investigates the potential conflicts of interest for a port authority in matters related to the level of competition amongst terminals within a port and the amount of competition amongst ports.

高速铁路下承式大跨度系杆拱桥无碴轨道桥面结构形式的对比研究

针对高速铁路下承式大跨度无碴轨道系杆拱桥,通过有限元分析,对桥面结构采用混凝土板与纵横梁半结合方案和全结合方案的动力特性、稳定性和受力性能进行综合对比研究。研究结果表明:与半结合方案相比,全结合方案桥梁刚度较大,尤其是横向刚度;桥梁动力特性和稳定性也较好;系梁承受的纵向力较小,桥面系参与系梁的第一系统作用较大,混凝土板应力水平整体较高,尤其是在端部节间;纵梁面外弯矩及其对应的面外弯曲变形都较小,横梁面内、面外弯矩及其对应的弯曲变形也都较半结合方案的小。建议半结合方案加强纵横梁交接处的局部构造,尤其是横梁与外纵梁交接处;全结合方案混凝土桥面板宜采用高配筋,特别是端部节间。     

优化GM(1,1)模型在桥梁静载试验中应用

设计一种适用于桥梁静载荷试验中极不完备数据条件下的优化GM(1,1)模型。使用3个前置神经网络模块替换传统模型中的微分拟合过程,利用神经网络的回归能力对其进行优化,使用1个后置神经网络模块结合1个数据解模糊模块替换传统模型的数据还原过程,其他数据处理方式沿用传统模型的数据处理方式。经过仿真计算,发现不同桥梁设计规模下,优化模型的标准差显著低于传统模型,证实优化模型具有较显著的算力提升。     

When are subsidies to trans-European network projects justified?

The trans-European transport network (TEN-T) encompasses the major planned transport infrastructure in Europe, ranging from high speed rail to port infrastructure. Projects in this category are considered priority projects and receive European subsidies; but these have been insufficient to get these projects off the ground. This paper addresses two research questions. First, it sketches the basic economics of cross-boundary infrastructure projects: what pricing and investment policies can we expect, what is the role of through traffic and high fixed costs of infrastructure? Second, it examines briefly what lessons the EU could draw from the experience of other existing federal funding institutions like the US and Germany. These ideas are used to propose a new subsidy scheme for the TEN-T projects.     

基于AQWA的旁靠油轮水动力相互作用研究

船舶旁靠系统的水动力响应是一个非常复杂的工程问题,系统中每一个结构的动力响应会受到其他结构的耦合影响。针对两旁靠FPSO和LNG运输船组成的旁靠系泊系统,基于三维势流理论,应用多体水动力学软件AQWA,在考虑两船间水动力相互作用的情况下,计算两旁靠船舶所受到的波浪载荷,并与不考虑两船水动力相互作用的计算结果进行对比分析。结果表明,旁靠系泊系统水动力相互作用是不可忽略的。同时也分析了不同旁靠间距对水动力性能的影响,结果发现旁靠间距只在中高频段时对水动力性能的影响较大。研究结果可为旁靠系统系泊方案的设计和研究提供一定的参考。     

Electrically Assisted Internal Combustion Engines: A Comparative Analysis

An electrically assisted internal combustion engine is obtained by combining a conventional engine and one or more electrical motors of considerably smaller size. A key feature of such an innovative vehicle hybridization approach is that the torque generated by electric machines is not transmitted to the wheels. The electric motors are, in fact, intended only to assist the internal combustion engine in low efficiency, low performance, or high polluting working conditions. They however, draw extra power and energy from the battery. This paper presents a tool to evaluate different possible solutions in terms of energy balance, efficiency, battery stress and battery ageing. The method, which is based on suitable mathematical models and specific analysis criteria is also exploited to compare eight different configurations of a C-segment vehicle, pointing out limits and capabilities of traditional 12?14 V systems.     

A field study of the effectiveness of sacrificial anodes in ballast tanks of merchant ships

Sacrificial anodes have become a standard practice for the protection of ballast tanks of merchant vessels against corrosive damage. A well protected tank should extend the life span of a ship and consequently enhances its economic value. An in situ survey comprising more than 100 merchant vessels provided the opportunity to measure the impact of these anodes on the life expectancy of these vessels. Contrary to the general belief of these anodes’ beneficial effect, no significant difference was found in our observations in terms of corrosion occurrence between ship populations with and without sacrificial anodes, across all ship ages. This may be explained by the highly variable conditions and the complex geometry in a ballast tank severely impede optimal and straightforward installation of these anodes in these tanks. Also, poorly placed anodes in it may harm the integrity of the coating of the tank. We therefore plead for uniform and clear rules on anode installation and inspection.     

Marine Stingers: Review of an Under-Recognized Global Coastal Management Issue

Dangerous marine stingers (jellyfish) are an emotive issue in tropical Australia, where they are widely regarded as the number one marine health threat. However, numerous severe and fatal stings have been reported throughout the tropical and temperate seas of the world, indicating that marine stingers are a global health problem. Further, life-threatening jellyfish stings are more frequently reported globally now compared to earlier decades, possibly as a result of improved recognition and reporting, or increased spatial and/or temporal distribution or densities. As stinging incidents may also have significant financial implications (lost tourism revenues and liability settlements), and the treatment of envenomed patients comes at high cost to the taxpayer, this issue is also a management challenge. This article outlines suggested approaches, based largely on Australian experience, for dealing with this under-recognized global coastal management issue.
