Microbiological hazards associated with the use of water in the post‐harvest handling and processing operations of fresh and frozen fruits, vegetables and herbs (ffFVH). Part 4 (fr... by EFSA Panel on Biological Hazards (BIOHAZ), Ana Allende, Avelino Alvarez‐Ordóñez, Valeria Bortolaia, Sara Bover‐Cid, Alessandra De Cesare, Wietske Dohmen, Laurent Guillier, Lieve Herman, Liesbeth Jacxsens, Lapo Mughini‐Gras, Maarten Nauta, Jakob Ottoson, Luisa Peixe, Fernando Perez‐Rodriguez, Panagiotis Skandamis, Elisabetta Suffredini, Jen Banach, Bin Zhou, Maria Teresa daSilva Felício, Laura Martino, Winy Messens, Angela Botteon

“…A predictive model was used to simulate water management outcomes, highlighting the need for water disinfection treatments to maintain the microbiological quality of the process water and the added value of water replenishment. Relying solely on water replenishment (at realistic feasible rates) does not avoid microbial accumulation in the water. …”

Wetland elevation change following beneficial use of dredged material nourishment by Brian D. Harris, Aleksandra Ostojic, Lenore P. Tedesco, Keith VanDerSys, Susan Bailey, Justin L. Shawler, Navid H. Jafari, Monica Chasten

“…The comparison of elevation immediately after nourishment and two years post- nourishment found that approximately one-third of elevation loss was the result of consolidation of deposited dredged material and the underlying wetland foundation.DiscussionIt was found that a reliance on solely laboratory data can induce a large degree of uncertainty within projected surface elevations. …”

Use of Relay Method for Enhancing Comb Construction by <i>Apis cerana cerana</i> Utilizing <i>Apis mellifera ligustica</i> by Shunhua Yang, Shanglun Ge, Yiqiu Liu, Danyin Zhou, Xueyang Gong, Kun Dong

“…Additionally, cells in the relay combs were significantly larger and deeper than those in the combs built solely by CHBs. Although these findings prove that utilizing IHB colonies to form a base structure can enhance the efficiency of comb construction in CHB colonies, further research is needed to confirm the effects of 4 + 24 h operation on brood rearing and worker bee size.…”
