Storage is one of the main services provided by the container terminals to its customers.
The competition between these terminals is very strong to provide the best services and
efficiency that reduces the time of containers in the yards to the low
est time. This reflects
an increase in productivity and reduction in storage costs, that is very important to the
shipping agents, so it had to work on the continuous re-preparation of the yards and
transport equipment commensurate with rapid changes and the great development in the
number of containers.
The study focused on methods of calculating the theoretical storage capacity of the
container terminals and applying them to the research terminal and comparing the results
with the actual reality and actual productivity of the fully and empty container yards, and
the global values of the modern container terminals, and calculation of the values of one of
the most important indicators of use, that is the indicators of use of yard which reflects the
efficiency of the use of available resources in the yards of the station.
Container transportation is one of the essential elements of modern ren aissance in
shipping business in the world. Due to its extremely important, most countries have
focused (especially the developed ones) on development of their maritime fleets
and ports,
in order to be able to keep up and keep the remarkable development and extremely rapid
progress in containerization technology.
Port capabilities should be commensurate with the developments in maritime transport
fleets and their transport patterns represented by container vessels that require advanced
port services such as high efficiency of workers and cranes, and modern and fast
performance specialized equipments, and modern electronic systems.
The study addressed the basic criteria for the level of services in the container terminals
that have been identified in the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development
UNICTAD 2012, These criteria were applied to Lattakia International Container Terminal
(LICT), where the relative waiting time ε and productivity coefficient (P) were
calculated for the duration of the ship's stay in the port, and the statistical indicators of the
times of ships at the Lattakia International Container Terminal and the container handling
rates was studied during the period Extending from 2014 to 2017, The study concluded
that the average wait time relative ε achieved the value of 0.0553, which put it at level B
which is the second level of four levels, A, B, C, D, in addition to the level B is also
achieved by productivity coefficient (P) and the value of 54.4 during the The study period.
The research was carried out at Al Qardaha and Banias regions in the Syrian coast,
according to the randomized complete block design RCBD, with three replicates,
during the season (20162017/). The effect of site on plant growth, development
and pr
oductivity traits of faba bean hybrid (Super Simonia) have been studied by
measuring some of phenological traits (days from planting to germination, and days
from planting to flowering), vegetative growth and productivity parameters (number
of branches pods/plant, number of seed/pod and 100 seeds weight) and seed total
protein content (%). The results showed a significant difference in the response of
Super Simonia hybrid in growth and development traits under two sites (Al Qardaha
and Banias) conditions, and the plants in Banias site were significantly superior in
most of the studied parameters. The research concluded to greater compatibility
when Italian faba bean hybrid (Super Simonia) was cultivated under Banias site
conditions as compared to Al Qardaha site, according to that the faba hybrid could
be planted in Banias region and other areas which have similar environmental
conditions.
Poor productivity of construction workers is one of the causes of cost and time overruns in
construction projects. Productivity plays an important role in the construction industry.
Productivity is one of the most important issues in both developed
and developing countries. This
paper reports an investigation of the productivity problems in Syrian construction projects through
a structured questionnaire survey. The main objective of this study is to determine and rank the
factors that affecting labour productivity. 76 factors were identified through a detailed literature
review and interview with projects managers. a questionnaire survey was designed and distributed
to staff of various construction companies. The data obtained was analysed using the relative
importance index. The results from the analysis revealed ten major factors affecting labour
productivity in Syrian construction industry. These
factors are: poor salary, material shortage, financial condition of contractor, poor safety
instructions, size of workshop, rewards shortage, payment delay, low training, and low incentives.
The experiment was carried out in agricultural season (2015-2016) in
Zahid local for field agricultur in Tartous to study the effect of different
systems of tillage (zero tillage, plowing of the chisel plow, moldboard
plowing and disc plowing ) on
the growth and productivity of rainfed
barley, the land was cultivated in the first half of November with barley
varieties (Hordeum sp ) and used randomized complete design 7
treatments with 3 replicates were used with L.S.D test at 5% level.
The experiment was conducted at the Research Station of Middle Heights,
during 2014 and 2015 seasons. Three varieties of Quinoa were used i.e. Ames
13762, NSL 106398 and Ames 137, which were introduced from International
Center for Bio Saline Agri
culture (ICBA), and they were selected out of five
varieties that were grown as observation lines in 2013, to get one variety, high
forage and grain yields, also suitable for the local conditions. RCBD design
with four replications was used. The traits that were studied were: Earliness,
plant height, flowering at 50%, green forage, grain and dry matter yields.
Results indicated that there were highly significant (p≤0.01) differences
between seasons and varieties in respect to plant height, green forage, dry
matter and grain yields. While, no significant effect for the interaction between
varieties and seasons overall growth performances.
The research was carried out at Tal Hedya Research Center in Aleppo, General
Commission for Agriculture Scientific Research (GCSAR), Syria, during 2011
and 2012 seasons. Seven genotypes of cotton were used, and complete diallel
hybridization was m
ade to study general and specific combining ability of some
productivity traits (sympodial branch number, actual boll number and seed cotton
yield). General combining ability (GCA) indicated that the parental genotype
Cherpan432 had a high significant GCA for sympodial branch number and actual
boll number, but the parents Aleppo118 and Deir El-Zour22 had the high GCA for
seed cotton yield. This is a clear indication that these parental genotypes had the
largest number of additive genes action, which plays important role in the inheritance
of the above-mentioned traits. The estimation of SCA values showed favorite and
high significant values in many hybrids resulted from parents, which had highly
significant GCA, which means that the gene action type is (additive x additive), and
this refers that these hybrids possessing the largest number of additive genes. High
heritability broad sense refers to importance of genetic variance in the inheritance of
all characters, but heritability in narrow sense values were low in general, indicating
the importance of dominance and epistasis genes in the inheritance. According to
this result it is recommended to follow the cross method for improvement of the
studied traits.
This research was conducted in 2016c, at the Zahid Western
Research Station in Akkar Plain region of Tartous Governorate, the
objective of this research is study the effect of non-conventional
organic waste (compost of garbage, sewage sludge) and
cow
manure on the physical properties of clay soil in the region. Wastes
was added to the soil at a rate of (0 - 10 - 20 – 30) t/ha, in order to
determine the effect of the difference in the quantity added on
physical properties of the soil and peanut productivity.
The ways cultivation of soils and preparing of soil are for farming
field crops with adding fertilizers village as one of the most important
methods of modern agriculture processes.
Starting up off this importance. the research was executed in the
north east area of Homs city, through the season(2013,2014) by
using five ways to cultiveate the soil.
There are different impacts of the methods of agricultural soil tillage in
agricultural production, the method of the basic methods in farming
conditions for plant growth, and increase production, by reducing the
negative factors that may be caused by use other methods of
tillage.
