By the rapid expansion of containerization and intermodel transportation in international shipping since the 1970's, the larger containerships have emerged and concentrated their calls at a limitted number of ports. Moreover, large-scale container terminals have been built to accommodate the ever-larger containerships, and the mordernization of terminal facilities and many developments in information technology etc. have been brought out. Thus, unlimited competition has been imposed on every terminal with neighbouring ports in Japan, Singapore, Hongkong and Taiwan etc. The purpose of this study is invested to suggest how the container terminal operators cope with unlimited competition between local or foreign terminals. The results are suggested as follows : First, transshipment cargoes, which the added value is high, is to be induced. Second, the function of storage is given on On-Dock Yard. Third. Berth Pool Operation System is introduced, especially in Gamman Container Terminal and Kwangyang Container Terminal. Fourth, the cargo handling charges is decided by terminal operator.

This paper presents a method for designing layout on the yard and evaluating alternative designs of the layout by applying simulation. The method is based on the concepts of the conventional port container terminal with a perpendicular yard layout. In general, yard design of the container terminal is consists of the two major parts. One is to divide yard area between the number of sections and the number of runs and the other is to decide the number of equipment that is the yard truck and yard crane. In the past days, this design was depended on the experience of the terminal operator and the structure of the conventional terminal layout because it is a very complex decision problem. In this paper we suggest the method of yard design as a conceptual procedure and estimate the efficiency of the container crane and the optimal the number of equipment using the simulation. Numerical examples are provided in order to illustrate the conceptual procedure. As the example, the suggested method and simulation are applied to the virtual container terminal with a perpendicular yard layout. In the results, the number of sections and runs on yard area, the number of yard truck per container crane and the number of yard crane per run are decided. In additional, the traffic among blocks on yard layout is estimated in terms of rate.

Temperate mycobacteriophage L1 encodes an unusual repressor (CI) for regulating its lytic-lysogenic switching and, in contrast to the repressors of most temperate phages, it binds to multiple asymmetric operator DNAs. Here, ions like $Na^+$, $Cl^-$, and $acetate^-$ ions were demonstrated to facilitate the optimal binding of CI to cognate operator DNA, whereas $K^+$, $Li^+$, ${NH_4}^+$, $Mg^{2+}$, $carbonate^{2-}$, and $citrate^{3-}$ ions significantly affected its operator binding activity. Of these ions, $Mg^{2+}$ unfolded CI most severely at room temperature and, compared to $Mg^{2+}$, $Na^+$ provided improved thermal stability to CI. Furthermore, the intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence of CI was changed notably upon replacing $Na^+$ with $Mg^{2+}$ and these opposing effects of $Mg^{2+}$ and $Na^+$ were also noticed in their actions on the C-terminal fragment (CTD) of CI. Taken together, $Na^+$ appeared to be more appropriate than $Mg^{2+}$ for maintaining the biologically active conformation of CI needed for its optimal binding to operator DNA.

오늘날과 같이 급속히 변화하는 기업경영 환경에서 조직이 생존하고 번영하기 위해 기업의 경영 성과를 향상시켜야 하고 이를 위해서는 생산성 또는 효율성을 꾸준히 평가할 필요가 있다. 최근 컨테이너터미널 업체수는 증가하였음에도 불구하고 물동량의 증가가 미미하여, 물동량 확보를 위한 컨테이너터미널 운영사간의 선사 및 화물유치를 위한 경쟁이 치열해지고 있다. 이러한 경쟁은 하역요율이 하락하고 컨테이너터미널 운영사들의 경영수지가 악화되고 있는 추세이다. 따라서 본 논문은 DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) 방법론을 이용하여 국내 컨테이너터미널 운영사의 경영 효율성을 비교 분석함으로써 컨테이너터미널 운영사의 경영 효율성 수준을 파악해 보았다. 본 연구는 기업 경영 분석에서 산출기초가 되는 가장 중요한 인건비, 임대료, 관리비용과 같은 비용항목을 투입변수로 선정하였으며, 산출변수에는 매출액, 영업이익을 선정하여 2009년도 경영 효율성을 분석하였다. 분석 대상들은 효율적인 컨테이너터미널 운영사와 비효율적인 운영사들로 구분하고, 비효율적인 운영사는 상대적으로 얼마나 비효율적인지에 대한 정보와 경영 효율성을 갖추기 위한 개선 방안을 제시한다.

The MX-13 digital multiplexer for leased line is one of the main facilities, so it is periodically monitored by the operator. Operators connect dummy terminal to the MX-13 digital multiplexer manually, and execute preventing inspection. When alarms occurred, they are manually checked by the operator. But, in order to get mere efficiency of accident prevention and monitoring facilities with rapid response to the accident symptom, and to get higher reliability from the companies who lease communication lines, we need to construct this system which is adequate to monitor IvlX-13 digital multiplexer in almost real time. We construct remote monitoring system for MX-13 digital multiplxer to meet those requirement. After constructing the system, it's possible that the local operator can manage local monitoring system to check the status of MX-13 digital multiplexers. Also, Center operator can monitor the facility which has problems, and located in the specific local areas with the use of Center monitoring system.

Increasing port competition driven by the containerisation has motivated ports and terminals to focus on their performance to efficiently utilise the available resources and to make strategic decisions in port development and expansion. With both inter-port andintra-port competition increasing in the port of Colombo, this study aims to measure the efficiency of the container terminals in Colombo comparing to terminals in the port of Busan using the DEA window analysis to determine their operational efficiency and to provide suggestions for future port development activities. Multiple window analyses were conducted using CCR and BCC models with different orientations and window lengths to compare the efficiencies of 11 DMUs in both ports during the period from 2015-2019 to measure the efficiencies prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Results revealed the largest terminal operator, PNC in Busan, to be the most efficient overall, while the second highest efficiency was recorded by one of the smallest terminal operators, SAGT in Colombo, among the sample. Although use of DEA in port performance measurement has been popular for many years, efficiency measurements in the port of Colombo, the main hub port in the South Asian region, has not been comprehensively studied so far.

Purpose - Recent issues such as vessel enlargement, strengthening of environmental regulations, and port smartization are expected to increase costs and intensify competition in the port industry. In the new normal era, when external growth has reached its limit, the efficient operation of ports is becoming indispensable for achieving sustainable growth. This study aims to identify the determinants of inefficiency by examining the cost structure and efficiency of container terminals in Korea and furthermore propose the political implications to derive the maximization of efficiency. Design/methodology - This study estimates the cost function of container terminal operators and identifies the efficiency of container terminals using stochastic cost frontier (SCF) in the first stage. In the second step, the SCF results are compared with the data envelopment analysis (DEA). Last, this paper proposes efficiency determinants on container terminal operation to establish appropriate strategies. Out of the 29 container terminal operators in South Korea, 13 operators participated in the survey. The translog cost function was estimated utilizing a total of 116 observations collected over the 2007-2017 period. Findings - Empirical analysis shows that economies of scale exist in Korea's container ports, which provides a rationale for the government's policy to establish the global terminal operator by integrating small terminal operators to enhance competitiveness. In addition, as a result of the determinants analysis, container throughput, weight of direct employment costs, and labour cost share have positive effects on improving cost efficiency, while inefficiency increases as the length of quay increases. More specifically, cost efficiency improves as the proportion of direct employment costs to outsourcing service costs increases. Originality/value - This study contributes to analyzing the inefficiency factors of container terminals through efficiency analysis with respect to a cost function. In addition, this study proposes the practical and political implications, such as establishing a long-term manpower pool, the application of the hybrid liner terminal system, and the construction of a statistical data system, to improve the cost inefficiency of terminal operators.

Wild-type and four mutant R100 merR genes were cloned and the proteins overproduced under tac promoter control of pKK223-3. His118Ala, Cys117Ser, Cys126Ser, and wild-type MerR were successfully overproduced although amino-terminal 14 amino acids deletion mutant MerR was not successful. The amount of overproduced wild-type MerR protein as well as other mutant MerR was between 15%-20% of the total protein. The protein was able to be purified up to 95% homogeneity. Specific DNA-protein blotting experiments showed that the 95 bp operator containing DNA fragment could bind to Cys126Ser, His118Ala, and wild- type MerR, but not to Cys117Ser. These results were consistent with the previously reported complementation experiment results that His118Ala, Cys126Ser, and wild-type MerR could repress the mer operon but Cys117Ser could not.

Most motion control systems consist of a desired trajectory generator, a motion controller such as a conventional PID controller, and a plant to be controlled. The desired trajectory generator as well as the motion controller is very important to achieve a good tracking performance. Especially, if the desired trajectory is generated actively utilizing the maximum velocity, acceleration, jerk and snap as given system specifications, the tracking performance would be better. For this, we make use of the properties of convolution operator in order to generate a smooth (S-curve) trajectory satisfying the system specifications. Also, the proposed trajectory generation method is extended to more general cases with arbitrary initial and terminal conditions. In addition, the suggested trajectory generator can be easily realized for real-time implementation. Finally, the effectiveness of the suggested method is shown through numerical simulations.
