Framework of key success criteria for high performance and sustainable ports - port management perspective by Lee, Nicole Jia Ying

“…More notably, as the other dimensions and perspectives triumphed the Social & Environment dimension and Sustainability perspective, the “Planet” aspect of the triple bottom line is the least of PSA’s concerns. Therefore, being able survive the competitive pressures takes precedence over socio-environmental sustainability concerns. …”

High-intensity two-frequency photoassociation spectroscopy of a weakly bound molecular state : theory and experiment by Kon, W. Y., Aman, J. A., Hill, J. C., Killian, T. C., Hazzard, Kaden R. A.

“…With numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, we show that this model accurately captures (1) the existence of experimentally observed satellite peaks that arise from nonlinear processes, (2) the locations of the two-photon peak in the spectrum, including AC Stark shifts, and (3) in some cases, spectral line shapes. To better understand these numerical results, we develop an approximate treatment of this model, based on Floquet and perturbation theory, that gives simple formulas that accurately capture the halo-state energies. …”
