Transshipment is the process of off-loading an intermodal loading unit (for example, different types of containers, semitrailers, swap-bodies, and so on) from one means of transport (for example, a vessel, a freight railcar, etc.) and loading it onto...
Aiming at the problems of low resource utilization and high distribution cost of urban logistics enterprises, this paper introduces the threshold setting of large parcels, comprehensively considers the processing links of large parcels and standard p...
Urban terminal logistics and distribution enterprises face the problems of duplicated network layouts, high costs, and inefficient urban environments. Recently, collaborative distribution using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ground vehicles has...
Green logistics has become a consensus and an important method to achieve sustainable development in industrial activities. However, the traditional direct distribution mode has high carbon emissions, an uncertain delivery time, and a low delivery ef...
Transportation is the main component that ensures the optimal distribution of goods in the maritime logistics system of small Islands. Therefore, this research developed a Floating Logistics Supporting Facility (FLSF) to overcome the logistics proble...

Optimizing the cargo flows through the nodes of a digital transport corridor is a crucial problem; solving it allows to introduce modern management methods in logistics. This study examines the optimization of the technology of a distribution center...
Thedistribution of products stands out as one of the pivotal activities for logistics companies in recent years, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and other geopolitical events. Intense competition compels companies to efficientl...
The operation of a city’s logistics system is associated with many problematic issues, for example, intense pollution and negative impacts on the environment, uneven intensity of traffic flows, and other problems. This article focuses on heavy...
Background: Automobile terminals play a key role in global finished car supply chains. Due to their connecting character between manufacturers on the one side and distributers on the other side, they are continuously faced with volatile demand fluctu...
It is now widely accepted that the locations of intermediate facilities, such as logistics platforms or inland ports, are key elements of multimodal freight distribution networks and heavily influence their effectiveness. This crucial role of localiz...
In logistics and freight distribution, scheduling and cost efficiency are two crucial issues for transportation companies that look with favour at the innovation introduced by Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Moreover, an infrastructure leve...
The rapid growth of e-commerce and advances in information and communication technologies have placed increasing pressure on last-mile delivery companies to enhance operational productivity. As investments in logistics infrastructure require long-ter...
Urban freight distribution has confronted several challenges, including negative environmental, social, and economic impacts. Many city logistics initiatives that use the concept of Urban Consolidation Centers (UCCs) have failed. The failure of many...
With the rapid development of e-commerce, logistics UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) have shown great potential in the field of urban logistics. However, the large-scale operation of logistics UAVs has brought challenges to air traffic management, and...
Given the swift expansion of fresh e-commerce, the front warehouse mode can respond quickly and ensure the quality of fresh products. However, the complexity of the supply chain structure under front warehouse mode poses a challenge in reducing logis...
Aim: This study aimed to characterize and compare the composition of central (TCM), effector (TEM), tissue-resident (TRM), and terminally differentiated (TEMRA) memory T cells in mid-luteal endometrium during the window of implantation (WOI) in women...
In recent years, routing problems have attracted significant attention in the fields of operations research and computer science due to their fundamental importance in logistics and transportation. However, most existing learning-based methods employ...
A precast reinforced concrete (RC) T-beam located in seaport Terminal Peti Kemas (TPS) Surabaya built in 1984 is used as a case study to test the accuracy of non-destructive test techniques against more traditional bridge evaluation tools. This bridg...
Background: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is caused by a decreased left ventricle relaxation and is associated with an increased risk of symptomatic heart failure (HF) and excessive mortality. Aim: To evaluate the frequency and factor...
Background: Liquefied natural gas (LNG) distribution in archipelagic regions involves complex trade-offs between transportation, infrastructure investment, and contractual arrangements. While most optimisation studies focus on seller-managed Delivery...
Background/Objectives: COVID-19 vaccines effectively prevent severe disease, but unequal distribution, especially in low- and middle-income countries, has led to vaccine-resistant strains. This highlights the urgent need for alternative vaccine platf...
We aim to investigate the lifestyle and symptom factors related to dry eye disease (DED) presence in patients with persistent gout using the Taiwan Biobank (TWB) database. A retrospective case–control study was conducted, and patients with a hi...
With the development of China’s express delivery industry, the number of express packaging has proliferated, leading to many problems such as environmental pollution and resource waste. In this paper, the process of reverse logistics network de...
Following the International Maritime Organization (IMO), in order to safeguard the realization of the Paris Agreement on climate protection, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have to be reduced by 50% by the year 2050. This objective shall be reached by...
