BeiDou satellites cross-regional communication path assignment model and resource management by Sheng Liu, Di Wu, Lanyong Zhang

“…Time division inter-satellite communication and ranging link assignment of BeiDou satellites have made important progress; however, there is still the unsolved issue of integrated communication between ground gateway, aircraft, or even ship, and the BeiDou satellites. Therefore, in this study, we develop a path assignment model based on the idea of clustering and Markov chain. …”

INVESTIGATING THE COST EFFECTIVENESS OF BIODIESEL DISTRIBUTION IN INDONESIA by Herbert Wibert Victor Hasudungan, Elis Heviati, Sulthon Sjahril Sabaruddin, Sigit Hargiyanto

“…This paper aims to both evaluate and formulate the Indonesian biodiesel transportation costs in all routes using either trucking or shipping mode. Based on primary data and information obtained from experts, we found that the most dominant factors that affect the shipping distribution cost are the size of the ship and its activities (such as voyage, ballast, loading, discharge, waiting, and buffer), whilst for the trucking mode, the dominant factors are both its corresponding operational costs and investment costs. …”
