When writing functional code that composes multiple recursive functions that operate on a datastrcuture, we often incur a lot of computational overhead allocating memory, only to later read, use, and discard this information.<br/>This can be alleviated using fusion, a technique that combines these multiple recursive datastructure traversals into...

At a dry bulk terminal, coal and iron ore are transported in the open air by conveyor belts and handled by large (mainly automated) equipment. The dry bulk material is rough and the equipment is installed in the harsh environment of the harbour. With vessels continuously being unloaded by quay cranes and outgoing vessels and trains being loaded,...

Transshipment is a key component of modern-day shipping logistics. Container supply chains rely on transhipment hubs to access remote locations. With globalisation driving growth in container trade, maritime congestion is rising at container terminals in ports worldwide. This is expected to worsen as demand continues to grow. The ill effects of...

Category theory is a branch of mathematics that is used to abstract and generalize other mathematical concepts. Its core idea is to take the emphasis off the details of the elements of these concepts and put it on the relationships between them instead. The elements can then be characterized in terms of their relationships using various...
