From public to private safety regulation? The case of negotiated agreements in the French fresh produce import industry
Recent EU law of safety self-regulation by firms leads French fresh produce importers to negotiate with public authorities a collective self-monitoring safety agreement. This paper is a case study of such an agreement in the Perpignan import market. Its actual design poses a problem of incentive alignment as long as it does not fit in with theoretical conditions. Empirical evidence and two ...

Dam safety inspections
This dam safety inspection was carried out to monitor the safety of a stone masonry overflow dam (12m high and 161m long). The geological makeup of the region comprises Ordovician period limestone and loose Quaternary sediments. One set of data was collected by placing 64 electrodes along the dam with 3m spacing. The inversion image below shows the areas aligning with 0+107m to 0+112m and ...

Food security: its components and challenges
Food security relates directly to nutrition and health. Typically food security is thought of as being related to availability and access of foodstuffs. Yet, the threat to food security also lies with urbanisation, income disparity, overpopulation, ecosystem degradation, animal health, and food wholesomeness. Food wholesomeness is also an important aspect of nutrition. Wholesomeness is monitored ...

Structural health monitoring using adaptive LMS filters
A structure's level of damage is determined using a non-linear model-based method utilising a Bouc-Wen hysteretic model. It employs adaptive Least Mean Squares (LMS) filtering theory in real time to identify changes in stiffness due to modelling error damage, as well as plastic and permanent displacements, which are critical to determining ongoing safety and use. The Structural Health Monitoring ...
