The study of meteorological-climatic phenomena, especially of extreme phenomena that have become more and more frequent, has gained greater significance, given the increasing awareness of the importance of preventing material damage. Thus, monitoring and analysis of atmospheric risk phenomena helps local and national authorities whose duty is to protect the population and property of any kind, and early warning regarding the occurrence of such phenomena is useful to each individual. The western and north-western part of Romania, like the whole country, due to its geographical position, in the temperate area, is exposed to a wide range of risky meteorological climatic phenomena which may potentially occur throughout the year. The present paper aims to identify certain meteorological aspects, which most correctly express the extreme character of the manifestations of some meteorological parameters. The data provided by the Banat Crisana and Northern Transylvania Meteorological Centers highlighted the evolution of certain risk parameters from two representative meteorological stations in these areas, Timisoara and Satu Mare, over a period of forty years.

Pasta, is an unleavened, dry food produced from flour, water and eggs and other additions such as vegetables, fruits. In this paper on the basis of the technology and recipe of its own manufacture, two types of wide noodles with broth and wide noodles with spinach were obtained. Based on the methods of the quality standards, the samples of noodles were evaluated physicochemical from the point of view of the water content, as well as the content of protein and ash substances. The results obtained by physicochemical analysis were compared with the results obtained by other researchers in the field. At the same time, a sensory analysis of samples of wide noodles with broth and wide noodles with spinach, own production, was performed versus other pasta with the same characteristics, purchased in stores in Timisoara, Romania. The method used for sensory analysis was "comparison with unitary scoring scales" where the following characteristics were evaluated: the appearance of pasta, the color of pasta, the boiling behavior of pasta, the smell and taste of pasta.

In the plain area of Timis County, compar()ed to other regions of Romania, the phenomena specific to the cold season of the year do not have a special intensity, because the submediterranean influences make the snow layer shorter, the thickness of the layer is shorter, the periods of frost have a shorter duration and the phenomenon of blizzard is present especially on the mountain ridges. In this paper we want to highlight the abundant episodes recorded in Banat in the last ten years and the deviations of the thermal regime from the studied period. It should be noted that in December 2018 the snow depths in Timisoara reached 42 cm, a situation that can be compared with the snow episode of February 2012, when it was recorded 40 cm of snow . The peculiarity of that situation is that in 2012 there were two consecutive fronts. The first front appeared from 02 February to 06 February and the maximum layer was 37 cm in Timisoara on February 5. The second frontal passage has been manifested since February 12, the maximum layer at Timisoara on the morning of February 14 being 40 cm. Regarding the thermal values, we have to notice the years 2016 and 2017, when the minimum temperature was up to -150C, the minimum of December being registered in 2009, on the 21st of December, the value being -21.40C. For the analysis of the snowfall cases recorded in the studied years we used the forecasts of the ECMWF model (COSMO), a model run in the National Meteorological Administration and satellite images in water vapor and WV RGB at wetterzentrale.de, copyright: EUMETSAT 2018. At the same time, the NMA archive maps for daily snow cover, daily deviations of average temperatures and minimum temperatures were used in this paper. The episodes analyzed in this work were noted by the intensity of the snow phenomenon, were periods of uninterrupted snowfall of more than a day and a half, through the great thickness of the snow layer, its persistence and low temperatures. Meteorologists have warned early, the central and local authorities on the basis of forecasting materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current paper presents the way of carrying out the topographical works combined with the design of the redevelopment of a recreation park in a crowded urban area of the municipality of Timisoara. The aim of the work was to create a topographical plan using the AutoCad, and Autodesk Map programs in order to draw up the architectural landscape redevelopment plan. The multitude of the block of flats located in the Calea Girocului neighborhood, makes the lack of green spaces acutely felt by the residents. For this reason, the park is very important, it is practically a green island in a sea of concrete. To identify the limits and points in the field, of the leveling, which is the subject of this documentation, a topographic survey of the area was carried out, using the Leica TCR-407 Total Station and the SOUTH S82V GPS in RTK mode. Also, the method and stages of deployment, in the field and in the office, with the help of specialized computer programs, were presented in detail. Thus, at the completion of the work, the most relevant data were made available to the beneficiary, in order to redevelop and modernize the objective proposed by the "Strategy for the development of green spaces of the Municipality of Timisoara" by the Timisoara City Hall.

The purpose of the paper is to perform a topographic lifting and traction of an architectural project for the execution of a Tyrolean that is arranged on various relief forms, in a hilly area, halfway between Timisoara and Lugoj, Timis County, Romania. The development of an adventure park in an area so close to urban settlements has a great impact on the public of all age categories. Children are the main beneficiaries of such objectives because they test their minds and, at the same time, implement an active and healthy life rate. After the execution of this Tyrolean, the investment made will lead to the development of the area and its transformation into a tourist and leisure attraction point and the localities in the area will be an alternative for private investors or for the locals living in the city and wanting to settle in these localities. By building new opportunities for recreation, creating competitions and events, the development is acquired from many points of view: growing and establishing the population, bringing new investments and investors for the development of the area. The proposed Tyrolean is made up of 4-5 routes established according to the degree of difficulty proposed for different children's age categories, at the same time ensuring the safety of the user and avoiding accidents, the routes being established only on the trees of certain ages and dimensions. In order to execute the topographic elevations, in order to achieve the situation plan, the state-of-the-art topographic, devices and methods adapted to the conditions of the field (covered with forest vegetation on most routes) were used.

The purpose of this work is the rehabilitation of a plot of land located on Circumvalațiunii Street in Timisoara, which at present has no functionality, by arranging a space dedicated to quadrupeds, but also to their owners. The main motivation of this project was the desire to set up a dog park in the true sense of the word and to make this concept known in Romania, because in most cities in the country, these spaces dedicated to dogs are either non-existent or too small for their needs. The area also helps expand the existing urban green area in the city. The structure of the paper consists of three parts, namely: the first part will present general data, definitions, a short history and examples of dog parks in Romania and abroad, the second part refers to the natural environment, namely to the area and the city where it will be located, but also the programs used for the project implementation, and the third part contains the steps for putting into practice the materials and equipment of the park. The end of the paper contains the project’s conclusions, but also some maintenance recommendations. Dog parks are outdoor locations, where dogs can feel good. Whether it means a space for running, swimming in ponds or meeting a new friend, dog parks have to be fun, comfortable and safe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the NW part of the Romania, there are geological conditions that allow to geothermal phenomena to manifest on the surface of the Earth. The limited exploitation of this energy resource is still limited by existing technologies and by the high cost of deep-water equipment. For a good image of the Romania's geothermal potential, we present, in our paper, the temperature map at 3000 m deep and the geothermal flow map on the surface. These maps were made with the Surfer program, based on the data obtained through digitalizing geothermal maps of Romania (scale 1: 1000000) using Surfer software, kriging method for interpolation. Also, we made maps with other geophysical parameters after smoothed and filtrated of data (Bouguer anomaly, Free Air anomaly, geoid). The Pannonian geothermal aquifer is multi-layered, confined and is located in the sandstones at the basement of the Upper Pannonian (late Neocene age), on an approximate area of 2,500 km2 along the western border of Romania, from Satu Mare in the north to Timisoara in the south. The aquifer is situated at the depth of 800 m to 2,400 m. It was investigated by more than 100 geothermal wells, all possible producers, out of which 33 are currently exploited. The thermal gradient is 45-55°C/km and the wellhead temperatures range are between 50°C and 85°C. In the area of Oradea, Baile Felix and 1 Mai, drillings have been made and geothermal waters have been exploited for therapeutic purposes for more than 100 years. Lately, systematic actions have been launched to prospect, explore, evaluate and exploit geothermal deposits. In all geological formations there are aquifers layers with very varied thermal capacities and properties, with surface thermal fluxes higher than other areas. The most important thermal aquifer system of the Pannonian Depression is the system based on the upper Pannonian, highlighted by surveys. The water in this system is generally eruptive due to the high dissolved gas content. Because of this, they can be used especially for therapeutic purposes and domestic hot water.

The aim of his research finds its origins in today's increasingly scientific and practical preocupation regarding regarding the accumulation of knowledge regarding the characteristics of the natural frame and its local peculiarities, as elements that define Land Fund structure and quality of soils to determine the specifics of the ecological productivity of land and the possible pressure on them. The importance of the subject derives from the fact the theme tackled between the factors and environmental conditions for growth and fruiting plants cultivated or spontaneous soil resources presents a major component, on the one hand, an indicator of the State of the evolution of traits that causes plant growth and, on the other hand, holding the influence of all other conditions and factors which have faithfully and continually registred all phenomena spent in a certain place and time frame. The objectives and activities proposed in this work fits into current concerns of agricultural research and practice at the national and international level intended for the study of the relationship between ecopedologic conditions and productivity of farmlands in order to identify that plant production system that combines in a harmonised manner, both the productive potential of the soil with human work judiciously applied. Given these considerations, in this paper are presented some issues concerning the physical and geographical characteristics and their characteristics based on the pedologic and agrochemical information on soil existing in the OSPA archive of Timisoara and Arad, but also based on research carried out during the respective doctoral school, 28.09.2015- 27.09.2018, with "Research on foundations of ecopedological productivity of fields from the Lipovei Hills and thereof possible pressure on quality", Through its geographic location (with a surface of 309.186 ha, of which 181.890 ha agricultural land) the area known as the Lipovei Hills, Lipova's Piemonts or Lipova's Plateau, is found positioned in the western part of the country, between the geographic coordinates: 21o22'30'' East longitude and 45o55' and 46o15' North latitude as a geographical unit of thetransition between the Western Carpathians and the low area, subsidence of Banat — Criûana Plain. There are presented issues relating to the quality of the land within the researched areal, with a briefly summarise of the physical and geographical characteristics of the area, that contributes to the achievement of the environment in which plants grow and harvest, and furthermore the composition of edafic envelope, some restrictive land quality features, features that define their vocation for certain utilities (agricultural or forestry).

In this paper is analyzed, based on some theoretical an experimental study, the possibility to create in a column filter the reaction space, through repeated cycles of infiltration and capitation, similar to ground conditions and as can be obtained in the vicinity of underground wells (in situ). According to this idea, this paper presents the results obtained in a laboratory column filter (horizontal) especially designed for this purpose. This installation it was built in Timisoara, by S.C. Aquatim S.A. helping, inside of the water treatment plant no.1. The classical methods of iron removal from groundwater, even those using filtration technologies, such as the latest membrane technology, are an intense and permanent source of environmental pollution caused by by-products of iron removal. Alternative methods of iron removal in situ, using cyclic alternating infiltration and capitation (thus forming a reaction space), transfer secondary products into the underground, where their volume is greatly reduced, becoming almost negligible even after decades of operation, thus reducing environmental pollution completely [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At this moment the fly ash is deposed into huge dump in entire word. The storage of them produces so many problems (in special environment problems): contaminates lands and water (with heavy metals), so large lands occupy, is blow up by wind (will contaminates the agrarian lands and peoples from near village) and so on. The fly ash and slag result in big quantity from coals burning. In Timisoara, Romania these waste are send to dump to depose. The recycling of fly ash from Power Plant is an actual concern for engineers and government, in special to use them to obtain building materials. This paper presents the experimental research results of the authors regarding the obtaining building materials realised with big quantity of fly ash and classical materials like cement, sand and superplasticiser.

Rapid and uncontrolled urbanization is one of the topics that are currently discussed both at European and global level. Also, in the development of General Urban Plans, architects are placed in difficulty because of the constant updating of the studies necessary to frame the concept of sustainable development in cities. Currently in Timisoara is in place a comprehensive program to revitalize neighbourhoods built during the communist regime. This idea has become a priority in terms of urban planning and the environment in the cities of Eastern Europe, Timisoara, the city located on the Bega River. This can be achieved also by measures to reduce noise pollution adopted by architects respecting urban plans. Making noise maps prove that their importance is essential when urban solutions are developed and zones that require noise reduction interventions are defined. In this paper we want to emphasize the importance of noise maps and efficient management of urban agglomeration involving unhealthy traffic in terms of noise pollution. For this purpose we used the analyses of the thematic maps drawn up in 2012 having as beneficiaries the Timisoara City Hall and the acoustic measurements made in 2014 in the areas of interest of the city affected by traffic. Through the studies of architectural terms we concluded that in central areas of the city, absorbing panels do not fit into the landscape and through the historical terms, the sound insulation of buildings is not an option, while an agreed solution is to use green walls.

Spatial planning involves human intervention on its natural state involving a number of changes, including a decisive role it is leaking water from rainfall by altering the flow of leakage, drainage volumes, distribution and degree of their pollution. This paper aims to determine the optimal method for collecting and directing rainwater from residential area housing newly built in Timisoara where there are no channels for collecting rain water and where in case of heavy rain there is a potential risk of flooding due waterproofing surfaces. Thus, it seeks to maintain as much as possible portions of the territory undisturbed state, optimization seepage, water retention naturally, but also through underground tanks. This will choose the optimal method of achieving these retention basins, which will be placed on each parcel or, where appropriate, a common retention pond will be located on the surface under study.

Sustainable development has been identified as a top priority problem in construction works. Directives and standards have been developed which are intended to encourage the implementation of sustainable criteria in the life cycle stages of a construction work. The paper presents an evaluation model developed by the authors. The global model is a comprehensive tool, which can be applied mainly on residential buildings. The utility of such model is important in the assessment of a construction work, because it converts sustainability issues into quantifiable goals, which are easier to understand, to use and to apply. The model is used for the sustainability assessment of a new residential dwelling, situated near to Timisoara. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this work is to identify some meteorological risk indicators that most accurately express the extreme nature of the manifestations of atmospheric phenomena in the western part of the country, and for this we analyzed a period of four years, between the years 2019-2022. Most of the basic meteorological parameters of these years were presented for the town of Timisoara, for which we took into account the thermal regime, the pluviometric regime, the atmospheric pressure, the duration of the glow. For the characterization of the wind regime, we used the data provided by other representative weather stations in the Banat area, data provided by the Banat Crisana Regional Meteorological Center and which were analyzed according to multi-year averages. January is the coldest month in the Banat region, as no anomalies are recorded, with average values between 0 and -3℃, and spring is somewhat earlier and warmer compared to other areas of the country. Temperature oscillations occur with colder periods under the influence of air masses from the north and northeast, but also warmer periods due to the activity of Mediterranean cyclones. Thus, late frosts and isolated frost can occur in the coldest mornings even at the beginning of May, but also hot days in June. Also in the spring, the first convective manifestations appear with stormy phenomena, torrential rains, hail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The theme of the work aimed to present a model of drawing up and carrying out a drawing work for collective constructions in order to build a building with a ground floor + 1st floor + attic. This project has been approved by the City Hall of Timisoara, Romania. The purpose of the work was to identify and execute a topographic elevation, to draw and track the horizontality and verticality of the building for each level (ground floor, floor, attic). The work was completed with the preparation of a cadastral documentation that includes the tabulation of the construction and the division into apartments of the building, being a collective dwelling with several beneficiaries. It was designed to be a construction type with a height regime GF+1F+A included in the land book 441649 from the database of the municipality of Timisoara. The building will have 4 housing units per level: ground floor, 1st floor and attic, each with 4 apartments. The structure of the building is made of 25 cm brick, with an exterior insulation of 10 cm, and the roof will be made on a wooden structure covered with metal tile. Due to the small tolerances admitted by the builder in drawing the axes and bolts, it was absolutely necessary to perform specialized works to identify the land, to execute the topographic elevations in order to draw up the situation plan and, subsequently, to place the future construction according to the distances approved by the urbanism certificate and building permit. This type of works requires a large volume of work both in the preliminary phase and in the execution phase: measuring large areas of land and raising all the details of planimetry and relief.

Into this paper are presented the experimental research regarding the obtaining the building materials with big quantity of fly ash from Timisoara Power Plant, Romania. There are used classical binders (lime and cement) to activate the components of fly ash. There are used the additives (superplasticiser) with goal to obtain high compression strength. There are obtained building materials with compression strength between 10-20 N/mm². The new materials with fly ash are physical and mechanical characteristics like building materials for structural masonry (for stores). By using a big quantity of fly ash the environment are protected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main difficulty in choosing a preferential location of a number of possible sites is the fact that the environmental impact generated by each site can not be easily quantified. When choosing such a location it must also be taken into consideration to minimize risks to public health, minimize environmental impact, maximize service levels to users, and minimize the usage costs. In the "Timisoara" case, placing a Landfill Site was a thorny issue that was resolved quite difficultly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Traian Vuia municipality belongs to Lugojului Hills, to Faget Depression and to the Bega Plain. Soil information, taken from the Office for Soil and Agrochemical Studies Timisoara were completed with our own data, subsequent interpreted and processed with specific software for Geographic Information Systems. For the calculation of the surface erosion, the methods described in the specialty literature have been used. Soil quality is subject to a series of degradation processes and limiting factors (excess surface moisture, acidic soils, carrying capacity, surface erosion, etc). Surface erosion occurs with different intensities, depending on the environmental conditions. The amount of soil lost through erosion of the surface is affected by the type of culture grown on the soil (the lower values were obtained for the perennial herb cultivated soil in the second year, and the large amounts of soil are lost to soil planted with corn) and slope and slope length (the amount of eroded soil increases with the length and inclination of the slope). The highest average annual amounts of soil are lost in highly eroded soils by water, situated on the slopes strongly inclined and cultivated with corn, located in the Lugojului Hills.
