The evaluation of the energy performance of ventilated and glazed facades can be done based on specific indexes. The paper presents two of those, defined as a function of season, i. e. the preheating efficiency index for the cold season and the dynamic isolation efficiency for the hot season. A study was performed concerning the evolution of the two indexes in different climatic conditions, specific to Romania. The functional correlations were obtained for a ventilated and glazed facade model, by varying the specific parameters one by one. The results were presented as correlation diagrams by which the characteristic of ventilated and glazed facades can be determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The papers proposes, in the first part, a dynamic representation of the present tense, which is no longer conceived as static point on a single axis, but as a rotating mechanism uniting the past situated at one level, and the future, situated at a different level altoghether. The duration of the present „instant" is as long as half of the circumference of this circle in its rotation in direction of the future. The second part ilustrates the different patterns used in French, Romanian, Portuguese and Italian to express the three phases of the past and the three phases of the future, as these are defined, in the dynamics model of verbal tense, by the generative functioning of the present.

The cross-border cooperation in the BIHOR-HAJDU-BIHAR euro region, around the Hungary and Romania's frontier needs to be reinforced for the new 2007-2013 EU Program. This target can be achieved with the support from the specialists in the cross border cooperation development projects. Unfortunately, those specialists are not available yet. How to solve this problem? So this paper focuses to underline the importance to cover this gap by using the educational institutions already based in that euro region, for example, the Institute for Euro Regional Studies and by getting expertise from the other Euro region in the Western side of Europe as the MOT , Mission Opérationnelle Transfrontalière, in France. In this way, it will be possible to involve more people in the euro region initiatives in the coming years and to cover several fields of the cross -border cooperation issues: environment, infrastructure, SME, SMI, Tourism, etc…issues [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: The diatom assemblages as environmental evolution recording of the Paratethys area during Sarmatian times. This paper is a detailed study based on Sarmatian (Middle Miocene) diatom assemblages, characterized by high biologic productivity and diversity from the Zarand Basin (Romania). A total of 240 diatom taxa were identified, leading to the conclusion that successive environmental variations such as changes in palaeosalinity and palaeobathimetry had taken place during this period. Water-level increases are correlated with marine influx based on the presence of boreal or subtropical marine taxa. Each marine-dominated episode is followed by one of continental influence: an isolated system where freshwater taxa are a common occurrence. To cite this article: S. Saint Martin, C. R.
