When you say about a thing or a being that they are robust, you imagine a complete entity from the point of view of its component parts giving out force and safety. The notion of robustness is associated with a lot of activity domains. Consequently, there are many definitions individualizing the robustness notion depending on the study domain.

In any scientific field, results are obtained after applying several research and estimation methods. This holds true for the biomechanics of the dento-maxilary apparatus, too. The study considers the possibility of using computer technology to evaluate the response of a biological system to various functional efforts. Many years of experience in using finite element in dental fundamental research prove the viability of this method. The paper presents a simulation in 3D of a natural tooth in physiological functionality, creating a reference point data base required by future studies. The stress distributions and levels in the teeth and in the periodontal tissues were examined in natural teeth. The results underlie the correlation which exists between the morphological aspects of the teeth and their response to functional impacts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study shows the problems and reflections of Romania,in the period after the aderation to EU, this being a period when all the economic activities will be tested according to their level of efficiency and productivity of work. Maintining the traditional form of organization of work, of investments of structure of the finite products may transform the country into a colony, into an exporter of raw materials and workforce in the EU. We can notice the same thing, based on our research, in the case of the Moldavian Republic: the exports and investments influence very little the economic growth. This is due to the reduced performances of Moldavian exporters, and, even more, to the uncompetitive structure on groups of products. Half of the Moldavian exports is assured by the agro-alimentary market, without noticing some obvious trends of specialization in other new branches. The cause of this trend is the weak productive potential of national agriculture and industry (Anastase.I 2010). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The work is a study aimed at defining and understanding the concept of corporate management. In recent years, corporations in Central and Eastern Europe had to adapt to a very harsh competition, while facing various problems in the ownership and management structures of corporations. [1], [2], [3] The entrepreneur is "the engine" of economic growth [14, p.23]. The professional level of an imaginary entrepreneur was determined by schools, by the prestigious universities: Winchester school; schools in Paris, Chartres, Orleans, Tours, Loan, Reims, Liege; schools in Köln, Germany, England York and Canterbury, Oxford.[27], [24] The entrepreneurial thinking and spirit have become objects of study in various universities.[24], [15], In our opinion, the treatments listed have "something" in common: they are related to findings and not to something constructive. According to [19, p.104], [4] [5], "the essential characteristic of tangible assets is that they participate in several production cycles, wear out over time and gradually transmit their value on other goods without losing the physical form".

This paper presents a comparative evaluation among some international, European and American, seismic design standards. The study considers the criteria for the analysis of conventional (residential and commercial) buildings. The study is focused on some critical topics: definition of the recurrence periods for establishing the seismic input; definition of the seismic zonation and shape of the design response spectra; consideration of local soil conditions; definition of the seismic force-resisting systems and respective response modification coefficients; definition of the allowable procedures for the seismic analysis. A model for a standard reinforced concrete building ("Model Building") has been developed to permit the comparison among codes. This building has been modelled with two different computer programs, SAP2000 and SOFiSTiK and subjected to seismic input according to the several seismic codes. The obtained results compared are leading to some important conclusions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
