Explosive growth of data in digital world leads to the requirement of efficient technique to store and transmit data. Due to limited resources, data compression (DC) techniques are proposed to minimize the size of data being stored or communicated. As DC concepts results to effective utilization of available storage area and communication bandwidth, numerous approaches were developed in several aspects. In order to analyze how DC techniques and its applications have evolved, a detailed survey on many existing DC techniques is carried out to address the current requirements in terms of data quality, coding schemes, type of data and applications. A comparative analysis is also performed to identify the contribution of reviewed techniques in terms of their characteristics, underlying concepts, experimental factors and limitations. Finally, this paper insight to various open issues and research directions to explore the promising areas for future developments.

Fire is a threat to human safety. With the rapid development and progress of development, the risk of fire is increasing. The population is getting denser, the construction of office buildings, residential areas, and industries that are increasingly developing so that these areas have a level of vulnerability to the risk of fire. Therefore, the existence of the Fire Prevention and Fire Service is needed. The problem that often occurs is the length of time the Fire Prevention and Fire Department gets to the scene of the fire. This causes huge losses to the community both in funds and lives. This study’s purpose is to improve the efficiency of service time at the Fire Prevention and Department of the Fire so that losses due to fire can be minimized. The method used is Lean Service and for the design using the 5S method. The results of this paper that the value added activity amount 37%, while the non-value added activity amount 63%. These results indicate the need for a reduction in activity so that processing time is more efficient. The result of this analysis using Fishbone Diagram and FMEA, it was found that the most cause of the highest failure mode was activity in the storage area for equipment and personal protective equipment that was difficult to reach and irregular so that the best layout was designed using the 5S Method.

Tailings size distribution can be modified to greatly reduce surface storage area and the risk of catastrophic tailings dam failures. Total flotation and backfill technology can even be used to store the tailings underground. In Peru, dynamic neutralization and coagulation technology uses fine tailings as neutralizing and coagulating agents for acid effluent neutralization while the remaining coarse tailings are used as mining backfill. Also, a new technology, HEVA, produces lime and clean CO2 from limestone and the tailings that contain carbonates. The CO2 is used to produce biomass through photosynthesis in aquatic and terrestrial greenhouse environments. One application in the high Andes (4400 m.a.s.l.) proposes to compensate for the area’s natural CO2 deficiency with cheap HEVA CO2 to achieve 100–200% greater productivity to reduce historical poverty in the region.

The impoundment of the Three Gorges Reservoir has a significant impact on the storage area, where the frequent occurrence of reservoir landslides with great harm has attracted much attention. Taking the Majiagou landslide as a case, this study focuses on the hydro-fluctuation belt affected by the reservoir operation. Under the scheduling of reservoir water level, the landslide displacement associated with the hydro-fluctuation belt presents a step-like deformation and the movement behaves as a retrogressive type. The wetting-drying cycles test has been performed to simulate the effects of reservoir water level on the hydro-fluctuation belt. Then, the weakening of soil strength parameters is well characterized by an exponential function model. Considering the continuous weakening of the hydro-fluctuation belt, the time-varying reliability, consistent with the actual landslide zoning, is analyzed under the reservoir operation for 10 years. The results indicate that the migration of seepage field in the landslide is closely related to the scheduling of reservoir water level and lags behind the scheduling. Similarly, the factor of safety varies with the reservoir water level, and the minimum value is obtained when the water drops to the lowest level. With the repeated interaction of reservoir water level on the hydro-fluctuation belt, the most dangerous failure probability of the landslide gradually increases. As a result, the stability of the Majiagou landslide declines from the initial basic stable to the less stable state.

We consider a storage loading problem in a stack-based storage area, in which incoming items have to be loaded to stacks, taking into account that some items have already been stored in the storage area and another set of items will arrive later. Each item has an associated value referring to e.g. its weight, length, or departure time. Stacking constraints based on associated values of the items are imposed. While the actual data of the first two item sets are known exactly, a limited number Γ of items arriving later may have uncertain data that deviate from their nominal associated values. Dealing with this Γ-uncertainty, by following the robust optimization paradigm we propose algorithms for finding strictly and adjustable robust solutions to the uncertain problem. Computational results on randomly generated instances show the impact of different parameters on the gain of including robustness in improving stacking solutions.

Nükleer güç santrallerinin kullanılmış yakıtlarının yönetiminde izlenebilecek iki yöntem mevcuttur. Kullanılmış yakıt yeniden işlenebilir veya jeolojik yapılarda bertaraf edilebilir. Ancak, günümüzde jeolojik bertaraf henüz gerçekleştirilemediği için kullanılmış yakıtlar uzun süreli depolanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, dört adet VVER-1200 tipi reaktör ünitesi içeren bir nükleer güç santralinin işletilmesi sırasında oluşacak kullanılmış yakıtlar için depolama tesisi modeli geliştirilmiş ve iki farklı depolama senaryosunun uygulanması durumunda tesisin yaşam döngüsü maliyeti analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın ilk bölümünde, işletme ömrü boyunca santralden çıkarılacak kullanılmış yakıt miktarı belirlenmiştir. Daha sonra, hesaplanan kullanılmış yakıt envanterinin depolanması için bir depolama tesisi modeli geliştirilmiş ve depolama varilinin tipi, malzemesi, depolama alanı büyüklüğü gibi tesisin temel özellikleri belirlenmiştir. Son olarak, iki farklı depolama senaryosunun uygulanması durumunda “net şimdiki değer” ve “seviyelendirilmiş birim maliyet” yöntemleri kullanılarak tesis için yaşam döngüsü maliyet analizi yapılmıştır. There are two methods to be applied in the management of spent fuels of nuclear power plants. Spent fuel can be reprocessed or disposed of in geological formations. However, since the geological disposal has not been realized yet, spent fuels are stored for a long time. In this study, a storage facility model has been developed for spent fuels of a nuclear power plant containing four VVER-1200 units and life cycle cost analysis of the facility has been performed for two storage scenarios. In the first part of the study, the amount of spent fuel to be discharged from the plant during its operational life is determined. Then, a storage facility model is developed for the storage of estimated spent fuel inventory and basic characteristics of the facility such as storage cask type, material, storage area is determined. Finally, life cycle cost analysis of the facility is performed for two storage scenarios by using “net present value” and “levelised unit cost” methods.

This paper presents a new elastic timber gridshell built to cover a wood storage area at the Timber Engineering Laboratory of the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. It is the first permanent elastic timber gridshell to be built in the country and the first in the world to be made of Eucalyptus globulus Labill. It includes various novelties for timber gridshells, such as a long-shell structural concept supported only on its short sides and the use of a third direction of bent laths to give the shell in-plane shear stiffness. Several research and development concepts have been implemented by the authors in this new gridshell. The design and structural analysis processes, experimental research for the development of 24 m long laths without mechanical joints, structural details and information about the construction method are described.

There are various problems in optimizing container operations during container service at the rail container terminal. The problem of movement optimization for different types of containers at the railway container terminal with using double-stack loading is formulated. An approach to improve the efficiency of container handling operations at the railway terminal is proposed. According to the approach, the placement of containers on railway platforms and in the storage area at the railway terminal is optimized. The mathematical model in the form of a combinatorial optimization problem is constructed; a strategy for solving the problem is formulated. Examples of efficiency calculations of containers reloading operations by the proposed approach are resulted.

Stimuli-responsive microcapsules, which can release the encapsulated payload under various environmental stimuli, have attracted great interests of the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and agricultural fields in recent years. However, most reported responsive microcapsules normally have a single storage area and thus load/release only one type of payload under one stimulus. In this work, we fabricated a novel kind of multicompartmental intelligent microcapsule with two storage areas and independently controlled (preprogrammable) releasing behavior under different stimuli via rapid photopolymerization of Pickering emulsions. In our strategy, a temperature-sensitive polymeric (N-isopropyl acrylamide, pNIPAM) particle was prepared and loaded with Nile Red (NR), which was then employed as a Pickering emulsifier to stabilize oil-in-water droplets. The oil was composed of pH-responsive monomers and oil-soluble fluorescent green (OG). Upon exposure to photoirradiation, pH-responsive monomers were polymerized along the interior of the droplets and converted into microcapsules. With NR in the temperature-sensitive pNIPAM@NR particles and OG in the interior of the microcapsules, the as-prepared microcapsules possess dual-carrier capability with two payloads encapsulated dependently in two different compartments. In addition, the microcapsules could respond to two different external stimuli (temperature and pH) and realize the selective and independent release of encapsulated molecules (NR and OG) from the shell and core without any mutual interference. More importantly, the release of NR and OG can be programmed by preprogramming the order of the stimulus responses, which can be altered. Our work develops a simple and effective strategy to fabricate responsive multicompartment microcapsules with preprogrammable release of different molecules.

Steel plate yard in shipbuilding, followed by the Separated-Strategy, is divided into Temporary-Area, Storage-Area, and Delivery-Area. When a target plate is not at the top of the stack, we must relocate the plates on it, which is called Plate-Shift. This paper develops a bilevel combinatorial optimization model and a multi-stage decision-making process of the delivery operation, and applies a greedy algorithm combined with a genetic algorithm to optimize the total amount of shifting. Compared with the current schedule based on a series of production rules, this method can get a better solution with less computing time and shifts.

The objective of my study was to review the latest recommendations for the infrastructure; human resources; intensive care unit (ICU) design and setting; monitoring and management medical equipment and facilities. Designing an ICU requires both clinical expertise of the critical care practitioner; knowledge of architecture and regulatory and safety standard as well as determination of the level of care to be provided at the hospital. The modern ICU consists of a reception area, patient care area, clinical support and storage area. It should be adequately lit with flexibility of equipment maneuverability for management of patient during emergencies. While setting up a new intensive care unit, clinicians should abreast themselves with the latest recommendation and guidelines for ICU design.Citation: Mehboob S, Burki AM.

Honeybees are renowned for their perfectly hexagonal honeycomb, hailed as the pinnacle of biological architecture for its ability to maximize storage area while minimizing building material. However, in natural nests, workers must regularly transition between different cell sizes, merge inconsistent combs, and optimize construction in constrained geometries. These spatial obstacles pose challenges to workers building perfect hexagons, but it is unknown to what extent workers act as architects versus simple automatons during these irregular building scenarios. Using automated image analysis to extract the irregularities in natural comb building, we show that some building configurations are more difficult for the bees than others, and that workers overcome these challenges using a combination of building techniques, such as: intermediate-sized cells, regular motifs of irregular shapes, and gradual modifications of cell tilt. Remarkably, by anticipating these building challenges, workers achieve high-quality merges using limited local sensing, on par with analytical models that require global optimization. Unlike automatons building perfectly replicated hexagons, these building irregularities showcase the active role that workers take in shaping their nest and the true architectural abilities of honeybees. published

This action research aims to develop storage area and system in order to enhance picking efficiency, using a television manufacturer as a case study. Before improvement, random storage strategy was employed to store television in warehouse, without recording storage locations. This resulted lengthy searching and picking time, as well as incorrect picking to the customers. The concepts of visual control and barcode ware applied to improve storage area, put-away and picking methods. Consequently, picking time significantly reduces from average 72.0 to 43.0 minutes per requisition form, and picking error during three months decreases from 8 to 0 times.

Resource planning in service industries is a difficult task and quite different from resource planning in manufacturing. Revenue management is one concept used in service industries when capacity and inventory are challenging to identify. In this study, the company case study provides chilled storage areas for customers. Different products are served and service charging is calculated based on the product’s weight and storing time. Currently, the target revenue cannot be achieved. This study presents the application of revenue management in chilled storage area allocation. From a previous study, there were four classes of products based on their importance level as A, B, C and D. Among all classes, the cost of under and overestimating demand was calculated for setting up the area allocation by following the concept of revenue management. Monte Carlo simulation was applied to simulate the existing and improved systems. The simulation results indicated that the average daily revenue could be improved when the storage area allocated to the lowest priority class (class D) was limited to be equal to the average daily demand of class D. Applying the proposed policy can help in increasing yearly revenue by approximately 73,638.75 Thai Baht. Finally, the implementation of the proposed procedure was discussed under the concept of Logistics 4.0.
