FOREWORD The work of the Public Management Committee (PUMA) on regulatory reform-built over ten years-has provided substantive input and other extensive support to the development, organisation, and policy direction of the regulatory reform programmes in OECD Member countries. PUMA's emphasis is on regulatory quality-combining both good regulation where needed to protect health, safety, and the...
متن کاملEarthquake lights and rupture processes
A physical model of earthquake lights is proposed. It is suggested that the magnetic diffusion from the electric and magnetic fields source region is a dominant process, explaining rather high localization of the light flashes. A 3D numerical code allowing to take into account the arbitrary distribution of currents caused by ground motion, conductivity in the ground and at its surface, includin...
متن کاملReducing Risk of Salmonellosis through Egg Decontamination Processes
Eggs have a high nutritional value and are an important ingredient in many food products. Worldwide foodborne illnesses, such as salmonellosis linked to the consumption of eggs and raw egg products, are a major public health concern. This review focuses on previous studies that have investigated the procedures for the production of microbiologically safe eggs. Studies exploring pasteurization a...
متن کاملReducing Earthquake Risk on the East Japan Railway through Investment in Safety
Earthquakes can cause catastrophic accidents to the railroads in terms of serious facility damages and large number of passenger fatalities and injuries. To reduce earthquake risk, various safety counter-measures can be employed. Among them, performing an accelerated construction program of track strengthening, retrofitting rail viaducts, installing warning systems, and improving the braking sy...
متن کاملA risk model for cloud processes
Traditionally, risk assessment consists of evaluating the probability of "feared events", corresponding to known threats and attacks, as well as these events' severity, corresponding to their impact on one or more stakeholders. Assessing risks of cloud-based processes is particularly difficult due to lack of historical data on attacks, which has prevented frequency-based identification...
