The Bank Forces Guide the Realization Path of Consumption Poverty Alleviation—Consider Industrial and Commercial Bank of China

As one of the main bodies involved in consumption poverty alleviation, Banks play a very important role in the process of poverty alleviation. This paper takes the consumption poverty alleviation practice of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China as an example and discusses the main ways of bank poverty alleviation. For example, relying on the advantages of ICBC’s E-shopping e-commerce platform, we should innovate the poverty alleviation mode of “combining business with finance”. We will actively establish a new mechanism for poverty alleviation through consumption, and encourage community-level Party committees under our control to combine blood transfusion with blood production through the combination of “help selling” and “direct buying”, so as to facilitate the sale of poverty-relief commodities. Focusing on the “combination of business and finance”, it integrates various types of customer ports, establishes the working concept of “overall planning of a game of chess, integrated promotion and package solution”, and actively coordinates the implementation of poverty alleviation work of consumption in Beijing. Through a variety of measures, effectively help the village out of poverty, poverty alleviation effect is remarkable, expected to provide effective reference for other major Banks poverty alleviation work.

Thermal analyses of the W7-X plasma vessel for operation phase 2

The W7-X plasma vessel (PV) is part of the cryostat wall and forms a vacuum and thermal barrier between the hot vessel interior and the superconducting coils. The vessel is thermally loaded from the inside and is actively cooled by numerous cooling water pipes in order to control its temperature.However, due to the complex geometry and large number of different types of ports, the cooling pipes are distributed irregularly with varying distances in between them. So the temperature distribution of the PV becomes quite inhomogeneous even with homogeneous load density, and impermissible temperature hot spots >130 °C may arise. Particularly for the upcoming long pulse operation phase 2 (OP2), it is necessary to know the locally allowed thermal loads on the PV. Therefore, temperature distribution maps for different heat loads from 1 kW/m2 to 12 kW/m2 were calculated in order to determine the corresponding hot spots.The available CAD geometry was not convenient for this extensive and complex analysis; therefore, a simplified shell-beam model was employed to get an approximate temperature distribution, and a correction formula was derived to calculate more accurate values at the positions of interest.In some areas with large distances between cooling pipes, additional copper stripes are welded onto the PV to improve the heat transfer. For these regions local models were built to calculate the temperature distributions, and, in the course of this analysis, to judge the effect of the copper stripes.The calculation results indicate positions to be additionally protected and will be used to determine safe operation limits.

Competition Issues in the Croatian Seaport Sector Regarding the Provision of Nautical Tourism Services

In the last decade, services in nautical tourism in the Republic of Croatia have been provided not only in marinas and other facilities intended for nautical tourism by the relevant domestic regulations, but also in other types of ports, such as public ports and sports club ports. Although marinas and public ports provide the same services i.e., berthing services for nautical tourism vessels, different corporate tax regimes apply to these two types of seaports. The first part of the paper gives an overview of the legal rules regulating seaports in Croatia. Subsequently, the competitive positions of marinas and public ports on the market of nautical tourism services in Croatia are examined. In this context, the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU on undertakings and State aids in the form of corporate tax advantages granted to port authorities is outlined. In addition, past enforcement of competition rules in the Croatian nautical tourism sector is analysed. Finally, de lege ferenda proposals are submitted, which might, in the author’s view, contribute to the creation of a level playing field for port operators providing nautical tourism services in Croatia.

ЕКОНОМІЧНІ МЕХАНІЗМИ РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ РОЗВИТКУ ІНСТИТУЦІОНАЛЬНИХ ФОРМ ОРГАНІЗАЦІЇ ВАНТАЖНОГО АВІАЦІЙНОГО ТРАНСПОРТУ

The article shows the strategic role of cargo air transport in the economies of the world, related to the maintenance of foreign trade, urgent delivery of goods, their transportation over long distances, and so on. The determining factors of the development of cargo air transport in the global economy are systematized: organizational innovations, information technologies, new forms of cooperation of air carriers and logistics solutions. The contribution of air transport to the formation of cargo turnover in Ukraine is determined. The opposite dynamics of volumes of cargo transportation by air and other types of transport is revealed. The contradiction between the low share of air cargo traffic and their strong absolute and structural growth is quantitatively shown. Air freight is defined by a market of oligopolistic competition due to a limited number of economic entities, the dominance of one large and several medium-sized players, the presence of barriers to entry, which are financial-investment and technical-technological nature. The attractiveness of the air freight market for investments is shown given the predominant positivity of financial results and the growing share of profitable enterprises. The institutional forms of organization of cargo air carriers (classic, combined, hybrid) are generalized, their advantages and disadvantages are defined. The principles of functioning of transport chains and realization of multimodal transportations on the basis of cargo air transport are substantiated. The main information systems of booking and management of air cargo transportation, distribution, pricing, calculations, tracking of luggage by buyers and sellers are characterized. The requirements of the International Air Transport Association for the use of innovative e-freight technologies in aviation are summarized, recommendations for joining the subjects of the domestic air cargo market in terms of electronic document management and simplification of customs procedures are developed. The improvement of economic mechanisms of development of cargo air transport in Ukraine on the basis of special economic zones of port type is offered.

Optimization of AICD water control completion technology for horizontal well in bottom water gas reservoir

At present, adaptive inflow control (AICD) water-controlled completion technology is mainly applied to reservoir water control. In view of the gas reservoir AICD water control completion technology research is still blank, this paper carried out a suitable for gas reservoir water control water control mechanism of the new type runner AICD and flow characteristics analysis, X oilfield bottom water reservoir is established new port type AICD water control completion. The structure parameter combination of the new AICD was analyzed and optimized by orthogonal test, and the water control effect of the new AICD water control completion was analyzed. The results show that compared with conventional perforation completions, the new AICD controlled water completions cause little bottom hole pressure loss and have little effect on condensate production. New type runner AICD completion can prolong the bottom water reservoir water control in low yielding water gas recovery period of about 365 days, predict 20 years of accumulated water rate reduced about 27%, water saturation near wellbore area is generally lower, has good effect of water control. The new flow channel type AICD controlled water completion can be applied to the development of bottom water gas reservoirs to control water and stabilize gas.

Systematic Review of Literature on Dry Port Concept Evolution

Dry port plays an important role in supply chain management and mitigates seaport problems. The aim of this paper is to review the dry port concept over the different phases. Today there are different types of dry ports, different interpretations on the dry port life cycle, and different relations with seaport. We will provide a clear vision on the concept development and the advantages that can be added to the seaport and transportation flow. Then, the study will show the evolution of the research community interest on the concept. In the first step, we will briefly present all the challenges faced by seaports today. Next, we will undertake a systematic literature review in order to provide a global vision able to answer questions concerning dry port concept, types, research evolution. Finally, we will present some research topics that open for us at the dry port seaport system.

Invasive ascidians: How predators reduce their dominance in artificial structures in cold temperate areas

Artificial structures can provide suitable space for invasive species through a colonisable surface and refuge against predators. Besides several physical factors, invasive species can present different colonization success and dominance on structures that are connected to the sea floor (i.e. fixed) compared to structures that are suspended, depending on the differential predation pressure that affect both structures. Benthic and nektonic predators can reach fouling communities on fixed structures, while only nektonic predators can affect communities growing on suspended structures, depending on the distance to the sea floor. Only few studies tested both communities of predators at the same time in different artificial structures. In this study, we evaluated the effect of benthic and nektonic predators on the cover, composition and diversity on fouling communities and on the dominance of invasive ascidians on these communities, in two different types of artificial structures. We performed an experiment in the port area of Puerto Madryn (Southwestern Atlantic, Argentina) to compare the fouling community development between fixed and suspended structures and among different predator exclusion treatments. Results showed that benthic predators exerted a higher predation pressure than nektonic predators on the cover, composition and diversity of the fouling communities. In the absence of benthic predators, and even where nektonic predators were not excluded, communities were greatly dominated by two invasive ascidians, Ascidiella aspersa (Müller, 1776) and Ciona robusta Hoshino and Tokioka, 1967. Our results suggest that in this type of cold temperate ports, fouling organisms find refuge from benthic predators growing on suspended structures, where nektonic predators exert low predation pressure. We propose that, since benthic predators in temperate latitudes have an essential role decreasing invasive ascidians dominance and the cover of fouling communities, future studies should consider both predator communities, i.e. nektonic and benthic, in experimental designs performed to test biotic resistance and predation pressure.

Concept for the Developmen of the North-South International Transport Corridor

The development of the international transport corridor plays a special role in the development of the transport system. Russian special economic zones do not form an integrated network; they can be characterized as separate isolated innovation-oriented elements in the economic space of the low-tech Russian economy. Research in the field of expanding the theoretical apparatus on the above issues has shown that the general understanding of the term “international transport system” includes a set of elements that provide significant international freight and passenger traffic between separate geographical areas, includes rolling stock and stationary devices of all modes of transport working in this direction, as well as a set of technological, organizational and legal conditions for the implementation of these transportation. As part of the study, the analysis of three options for the route of the international transport corridor “North-South” is proposed: transportation of goods by rail, western branch, eastern branch. Based on the results of the study, it is determined that the creation, development and operation of a free economic zone of a port type will create an impetus for the high-quality and efficient port infrastructure that will meet international standards and be one of the factors for attracting freight carriers.

Design of endoscopes for monitoring water-cooled divertor in W7-X

The modular stellarator Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) in Greifswald (Germany) started operation in 2015 with short pulse limiter plasmas and continued with pulsed divertor plasmas in 2017−2018. In 2021, the next operation phase (OP) OP2 will start after installation of 10 water-cooled CFC armored divertors, allowing for steady state operation. Since divertor heat loads are very sensitive to plasma parameters, each water-cooled divertor needs to be monitored to interrupt or adapt plasma operation once overload is detected. For that purpose ten endoscopes are planned: two in module 3 and eight more in a different type of port in the other modules. The infrared (IR) radiation from the plasma facing surface as well as the plasma edge radiation in the visible (VIS) range is captured through a pinhole in a water-cooled plasma facing head and transmitted to the rear side outside the vacuum where the light is split and captured by an IR and VIS camera. The design challenge is to reach a high-resolution image of the entire target while capturing a large field of view (FOV) of 120 degrees. In this paper, the design and assembly strategy is presented, including the assessment of the optical, thermo-mechanical and hydraulic performance.

COVID-19 Susceptibility Mapping Using Multicriteria Evaluation.

Objective: The purpose of this research was to investigate coronavirus disease (COVID-19) susceptibility in districts of Bangladesh using multicriteria evaluation techniques.Methods: Secondary data were collected from different government organizations, 120 primary surveys were conducted for calculating weights, and results were validated through 12 key people's interviews. Pairwise comparison matrixes were calculated for 9 factors and subfactors. The analytic hierarchy process used for calculating the susceptibility index and map was prepared based on the results.Results: According to the results, multiple causal factors might be responsible for COVID-19 spreading in Bangladesh. Dhaka might be vulnerable to COVID-19 due to a higher population, population density, and international collaboration. According to the pairwise comparison matrix, the consistency ratio for subfactors and factors was in the permissible limit (ie, less than 0.10). The highest factor weight of 0.2907 was found for the factors type of port. The maximum value for the susceptibility index was 0.435219362 for Chittagong, and the minimum value was 0.076174 for Naogaon.Conclusions: The findings of this research might help the communities and government agencies with effective decision-making.

These outbreaks occurred in 85 counties and districts of 4 provinces, namely Guangdong (77 outbreaks), Yunnan (14 outbreaks), Zhejiang (8 outbreaks) and Fujian (8 outbreaks). The outbreaks occurred during May-November. Small-scale outbreaks with no more than 10 cases ended within 30 days (28/34, 82.4%) and larger-scale outbreaks lasted for several months. Dengue virus type 1 and type 2 were the main epidemic pathogens of dengue fever outbreaks in China. The outbreaks mainly occurred in areas with high population density and poor sanitary environment. There were significant differences in the age and occupational composition of the cases in the main outbreak provinces. Conclusions: Outbreaks of dengue fever can been seen in more areas in China, even in high latitudes areas. The epidemiologic characteristics of the outbreaks were different among provinces, showing as port type, rural type and urban type. Each province should adjust the control strategies accordingly.

A Study on the Development of Container Sea-rail Intermodal Transport of Xiamen Port in the Context of National Logistics Hub

Container sea-rail intermodal transport has the characteristics of low cost, low emission and large scale, and has become one of the important indicators to measure port development. Xiamen has been identified as the strategic fulcrum city of the 21st century Maritime Silk Road, national logistics hub of port type, and Xiamen Port will have great opportunities for development. But, the development of container sea-rail intermodal transport of Xiamen Port is still in the period of market cultivation, and the development level is relatively backward. This paper analyzes the problems in the development of Xiamen Port container sea-rail intermodal transport in terms of railway transport, port operation, shipping company and the construction of information system for rail sea intermodal transport, and put forward the development measures include constructing the railway trunk line and the railway branch lines in port area, building the operation platform for combined transport, paying attention to the source of goods for long-distance and so on. Also, this paper puts forward some implementation plans, such as strengthening organization and coordination mechanism, cultivating leading enterprises, strengthening investment promotion.

On determining the hinterlands of China's foreign trade container ports

The boundary lines of the hinterlands of container ports, for as long as these exist, serve as reference points for future port development and infrastructure planning. In earlier efforts to delineate the hinterlands of Chinese ports, either the number of ports considered was limited, or the demarcation of hinterlands was based on aggregate port throughput only. As a result, none of these studies has allowed a clear understanding of the characteristics of shared hinterlands. To address such shortcomings, the membership degree method and the Huff model have been used here to delineate, if at all possible, the hinterlands of China's 20 major foreign trade container ports. The results reveal the existence of fierce port competition for China's hinterlands, with the hinterland characteristics of different types of ports varying in scope and spatial continuity. Our research has important policy implications for central- and local governments, as well as port authorities. In short, ways to strengthen inter-provincial port cooperation should be a top priority to policymakers going forward. Due to the unavoidable onslaught of diseconomies of scale in cargohandling, international hub ports should focus on the development of strong, port-centric maritime clusters and international shipping centres. Regional hub ports should coordinate better their relationship with international hubs and feeder ports. Finally, the latter ports need to plan their development cautiously in order to avoid unfettered and wasteful expansion.

The Effect of Access Control on Security Policy Compliance and Security Performance in the Airports and Ports

The purpose of current research is to offer suggestions for security management at two types of port of entry, airports and harbors, by analyzing the effect of access control on the special security guards’ willingness to comply with security policies and work performance In this article, the terms work performance and security performance are used interchangeably. . Data were collected from the special security guards working at critical facilities in South Korea, including airports and harbors during the period of April 1 to 26, 2019. 294 survey questionnaires (out of 312 returned) were included in the analyses after removing eighteen cases with missing values and outliers. After coding and entering the data into SPSS 24.0, the authors conducted descriptive, exploratory factor, reliability, correlation, and multiple regression analyses. The results showed that the access control at these ports of entry had a positive impact on the participants’ willingness to comply with security policies as well as on response and prevention outcomes, the two measures of security performance. Drawing from the findings, the authors offer practical implications for improved security management at the nation’s airports and harbors.

Dynamic measurements and mechanisms of coastal port–city relationships based on the DCI model: Empirical evidence from China

The port–city relationship is not only one of the major contradictions in the development of port cities but also an important factor that affects the sustainable development of coastal areas. Therefore, determining the port–city relationship and identifying the mode of port–city interaction are difficult yet popular topics in research on port cities. The argument is based on a reciprocal port–city relationship. This study uses the main coastal port cities in China as research objects to propose the dynamic centralisation index (DCI) of port–city relationship based on the relative concentration index and to verify its effectiveness. In accordance with the measurement and classification of port–city relationships between 2001 and 2015, we discuss the influences of port sizes and internal structural changes on the port–city relationship. In addition, we use the impulse response function to explore the mechanisms of different types of port–city relationships. The primary objectives of this study are as follows: (1) to propose a new measurement model of port–city relationship that fully reflects the relationships of port sizes and structural changes to urban development; (2) to use the DCI model to classify port–city relationships, explore the change characteristics of different types of port–city relationships and further verify the validity, sensitivity and applicability scope of the DCI model and (3) to determine the manifestation of port–city interaction and identify its dominant factors in different port cities. The strength or tendency of port–city relationships is not directly related to port or city size but is closely associated with underlying issues, such as the development stage of port or city and the relationship between port and hinterland.

Flow units and rock type for reservoir characterization in carbonate reservoir: case study, south of Iraq

The current work is focused on the rock typing and flow unit classification for reservoir characterization in carbonate reservoir, a Yamama Reservoir in south of Iraq (Ratawi Field) has been selected, and the study is depending on the logs and cores data from five wells which penetrate Yamama formation. Yamama Reservoir was divided into twenty flow units and rock types, depending on the Microfacies and Electrofacies Character, the well logs pattern, Porosity–Water saturation relationship, flow zone indicator (FZI) method, capillary pressure analysis, and Porosity–Permeability relationship (R35) and cluster analysis method. Four rock types and groups have been identified in the Yamama formation depending on the FZI method, where the first group represents the bad reservoir quality (FZI-1) (Mudstone Microfacies and Foraminiferal wackestone Microfacies), the second group reflects a moderate quality of reservoir (FZI-2) (Algal wackestone–Packstone Microfacies and Bioclastic wackestone–Packstone Microfacies), the third group represents good reservoir quality (FZI-3) (Peloidal Packstone–Grainstone Microfacies), and the fourth group represents a very good reservoir quality (FZI-4) (Peloidal–oolitic Grainstone Microfacies). Capillary pressure curves and cluster analysis methods show four different rock types: a very good quality of reservoir and porous (Mega port type) (FZI-4) (Peloidal–oolitic Grainstone Microfacies) with a low irreducible Water saturation (Swi), good quality of reservoir and porous (Macro port type) (FZI-3) (Peloidal Packstone–Grainstone Microfacies), moderate quality of reservoir (Meso port type) (FZI-2) (Algal wackestone–Packstone Microfacies and Bioclastic wackestone–Packstone Microfacies), and a very fine-grained with bad reservoir quality (Micro port type) (FZI-1) (Mudstone Microfacies and Foraminiferal wackestone Microfacies) and with the higher displacement of pressure). These capillary pressure curves support the subdivision of the main reservoir unit to flow units.
