“…Observation of strong desorption associated with ELMs in JET-ILW [20][21][22] confirms that ELMy particles dominantly end up implanted after a few reflections. According to SRIM calculations [19], multi-keV D ions with shallow angles of incidence have an implantation depth of a few tens of nm in W. During ELMs, surface temperatures above 1000 °C are measured by IR in JET-ILW and in these conditions, the mobility of implanted ELMy particles back to the surface should be fast with a diffusion time on the µs scale [23].…”

The design and operation of future fusion devices relying on H-mode plasmas requires reliable modelling of Edge-Localized Modes (ELMs) for precise prediction of divertor target conditions. An extensive experimental validation of simple analytical predictions of the time evolution of target plasma loads during ELMs has been carried out here in more than 70 JET-ITER-Like Wall H-mode experiments with a wide range of conditions. Comparisons of these analytical predictions with diagnostic measurements of target ion flux density, power density, impact energy and electron temperature during ELMs are presented in this paper and show excellent agreement. The analytical predictions tested here are made with the "Free-Streaming" kinetic model (FSM) which describes ELMs as a quasi-neutral plasma bunch expanding along the magnetic field lines into the Scrape-Off Layer without collisions. Consequences of the FSM on energy reflection and deposition on divertor targets during ELMs are also discussed.

“…Indeed, all planned annual inspections were completed in only few of the studied FPPs. Control objects per personnel work year vary between municipal food control units, and several food control officials have reported insufficient personnel resources 38 . Moreover, inspections had always taken place during processing in less than half of the studied FPPs, while according to our findings, non-compliances with listeria risk often involved concrete operations.…”

Vacuum-packaged cold-salted and cold-smoked fish products are considered typical vehicles for Listeria monocytogenes, the causative agent of the food-borne disease listeriosis, which is increasingly prevalent in the European Union. Efficacy of both the fish processing plant self-checking system and official food control conducted by authorities are crucial for L. monocytogenes prevention in the processing of these risky products. However, the impact of official control on L. monocytogenes prevention in the processing of fish products has not been extensively studied. We investigated the occurrence, control measures, and correction of non-compliances predisposing to L. monocytogenes in Finnish fish processing plants. The following features were associated with L. monocytogenes occurrence: (a) frequency of non-compliances concerning processing machinery, (b) recurrence of non-compliances, and (c) frequency of non-compliances for which official control measures were requested by inspecting authorities. Official control of fish processing plants had focused on risky areas, but non-compliances were common and their correction exhibited deficiencies. We conclude that L. monocytogenes prevention in fish processing can be enhanced by strengthening official food control measures and processing plant compliance. In particular, timely correction of all food safety violations must be improved.

“…Food safety and control are one of the main topics in public debates on food policy and food industry, but also in research over the past 20 years (Scarpato et al, 2017, Heikkila et al, 2016Al-Busaidi & Jukes, 2015;Al-Kandari & Jukes, 2012;Alomirah et al, 2010;Kettunen et al, 2017). Additionally, the awareness of all stakeholders in food production and delivery chain of the need for food safety and security has increased, on the one hand, while increasingly intense global competition has affected the food industry to apply different methods and standards in order to increase quality in production and sales processes, which ultimately leads to consumer safety (Grunet, 2005;Meziane 2007;He, Deng & Hwang, 2019;Garcia-Garcia, Stone & Rahimifard, 2019).…”

Retail and retail development have become increasingly important in the economies of a number of countries in recent years. Given that retail chains are in direct contact with consumers, food retail control is important for both consumers and retailers. Additionally, food control is an important business segment of all companies involved in the food distribution chain, from food production, processing, storage, and sales to end consumers. On the one hand, the right to healthy and safe products is one of the basic consumer rights. On the other hand, retail chains tend to deliver healthy and safe products to consumers, using the principle of efficiency and positive business performance. In line with the above, i.e. food retailers’ challenge to satisfy consumer demands for healthy and safe products, but also to achieve positive business performance, the aim of this paper is to analyse the importance of food control for retail development, with particular reference to the market of the Republic of Serbia. For this purpose, empirical research is carried out on a sample of 169 food retailers. Using the available financial data, as well as data obtained from field research, the paper tests hypothesis on the impact of food control, as measured by the percentage allocation for the introduction of food safety standards, on food retail performance. The ANFIS method is used, and the results show positive impact of food control on food retail development in the Republic of Serbia.
