Abstract

The composition of tars, typically derived from coal and heavy fuel processing or formed in fuel-rich combustion, determines their transformation into carbons relevant in combustion and environmental fields as well as for material production. The speciation of the huge number of aromatic components of tars, usually found in form of viscous black liquid or solid, is not straightforward because of the tar complexity and high molecular weight, spanning from few hundreds up to thousands of Da. To this regard, the pre-separation of tar in lighter and heavier fractions simplifies the further characterization of its composition. The present work reports a fractionation method of a typical sample of combustion-formed tar based on moderate heating in high-vacuum conditions (10-6 mbar). It was preliminarily tested on a single polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, coronene, and on synthetic mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, presumed to be the basic aromatic moieties of tar components. Lighter components obtained by condensation/deposition as thin films and/or crystals, as well as the heavier residue, were analysed by optical microscopy and spectroscopy. The separation procedure allowed to get more information on the components distribution also inferring the self-organization in cluster assembly and/or crystal forms.

Abstract

Artificially engineered metamaterials have enabled the creation of electromagnetic materials with properties not found in nature. Recent work has demonstrated the feasibility of developing high performance, narrowband electromagnetic absorbers using such metamaterials. These metamaterials derive their absorption properties primarily through dielectric loss and impedance matching at resonance. This paper builds on that work by increasing the bandwidth through embedding resistors into the metamaterial structure in order to lower the Q factor and by using multiple elements with different resonances. This is done while maintaining an impedance-matched material at normal incidence. We thus present the design, simulation, and experimental verification of a broadband gigahertz region metamaterial absorber, with a maximum absorption of 99.9% at 2.4 GHz, and a full width at half maximum bandwidth of 700 MHz, all while maintaining low reflection inside and outside of resonance.

Abstract

Hydropower represents one of the oldest and most developed technologies for electricity generation. Combined with more and more harsh environmental … societal restrictions, this led to a lack of available sites for developing new hydropower plants. At the same time, water streams are usually equipped with different hydrotechnical works for preventing flooding or assuring/supplying water to various beneficiaries. This is why in the latest years there is a new trend related to empowering existing hydrotechnical structures. This paper presents an assessment of the theoretical hydropower potential for 7 existing water barriers in Arges-Vedea hydrographic basin, Romania. Based on historical river discharge data and forecasted data for two climate change scenarios, RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5, the gain in clean energy is presented and compared with the results for the reference period. The results show that while the cost of empowering the considered sites is around 760,000 Euro, a total energy generation of over 600 MWh/year can be obtained.

Abstract

Although the important positive effects that lakes have ondevelopment at the regional level and beyond, they also have a negativeimpact related to the large amounts of water that they can consume byevaporation. This paper quantifies the effects that one of the largestartificial lakes in Romania (with complex use) has on the environment byestimating the blue water footprint and the carbon footprint. Thus, ananalysis is made of the evolution of the blue water footprint and carbonintensity (calculated for a 100-year life cycle) for 16 years and Pearsoncorrelation coefficients for these indicators are investigated. During the2008-2023 study period, the mean water footprint for the Vidraruhydropower plant was 5.07 m3/GJ and the carbon intensity varies between7.1 to 5.24 gCO2/kWh, with a polynomial trend. Those results are in goodagreement compared with the literature presenting results related to largereservoirs.

Abstract

Because of an increased care for the environment, many related EU directives were issued on this subject. The Water Framework Directive is one of that and since it was published dramatically influenced the development of new SHPPs and the operation of the existing ones. The longitudinal connectivity of rivers and the available flow downstream SHPP weirs, due to the ecological flow and changes in the way to calculate it are reasons for operational and sometime even constructive changes of the SHPPs. This paper presents some methods for assessing the energy generation of a small hydropower plant considering the ecological flow. For that purpose, 3 different scenarios were considered to determine the ecological flow, and 4 methods were used to obtain the annual energy production: the classical method, a so-called simplified method and software packages dedicated to SHPPs, CASiMiR Hydropower and SMART Mini-Idro. The obtained results indicated that the simplified method and CASiMiR Hydropower performed very well, obtaining relative errors below 1%. The assessment of losses in energy production of a SHPP due to ecological flow for Romanian legislation case is also presented for a case study.

Abstract

Evaporation has a major significance in the water balance of a reservoir. Usually, recorded data for the evaporation on the free surface of a reservoir are not available. There are numerous empirical relationships for the assessment of the evaporation that can be implemented into the water balance equation. In this paper, for Vidraru, one of the largest reservoirs in Romania, the Hargreaves method is used to estimate the evaporation values that are compared with recorded data obtained from Meteoblue archive. Recorded precipitation and evaporation data are used in mathematical model for water balance to find the answer to the question: can the evaporation and the directly water surface rainfall be neglected in the monthly/annual water balance of a reservoir? Daily meteorological values for the minimum and maximum temperature, evaporation and precipitation measured in the Vidraru reservoir area are used in this work. The main conclusion of the paper is that although in the summer months, on the surface of the lake, the amount of water lost through the evaporation is greater than the amount of water from the precipitations, on the time horizon of one year, the two components of the water balance of the reservoir have close values. Thus, for an accurate application of the water balance equation for a reservoir, the two variables, evaporation and precipitation, can be both considered or both neglected.

Abstract

First transcatheter embolization of hepatic artery has been materializing in 1974, in France, for unresectable hepatic tumours. Then, this treatment has become use enough in many countries, especially in Japan, where primary hepatic tumours are very frequent. In this article, we present procedures of interventional endovascular treatment for primary hepatic tumours: chemoembolization, intra-arterial chemotherapy. The study comprises patients with primary hepatic tumours investigated by hepatic-ultrasound and contrast-enhanced CT or MRI. DSA-hepatic angiography is very important to verify the accessory hepatic supply. It has been performed selective catheterization of right/left hepatic branches followed by cytostatics injection. Most of the patients have benefit by hepatic chemoembolization (cytostatics, Lipiodol and embolic materials). The selective intra-arterial chemotherapy (cytostatics without Lipiodol) was performing in cases with contraindications for Lipiodol or embolic materials injection (cirrhosis-Child C, thrombosis of portal vein, hepatic insufficiency). For treatment of primary hepatic tumours we use 5-F-Uracil, Farmarubicin and Mytomicin C. Less numbers of the reservoirs were placed because financial causes. Chemoembolization was better than procedures without Lipiodol or embolic materials. Lipiodol reached in tumoural tissue and the distribution of Lipiodol harmonises with degree of vascularisation. After the chemoembolization procedure, the diameter of tumours decreased gradually depending on the size of tumour. Effective alternative for unresectable primary hepatic tumours (big size, hepatic dysfunction, and other surgical risk factors) is endovascular interventional treatment.

Abstract

In Romanian forestry, skidders represent the most used equipment for wood extraction, while the group shelterwood system is one of the most used silvicultural forest management strategies. Production rates are important indicators when trying to assess the efficiency of a process, since they can be used in different practical applications, starting with operational planning and ending with energetic analyses or LCA studies. The reduced accessibility of forest stands is one of the main problems of Romanian forestry, and therefore a lot of time and energy is usually spent in harvesting operations. In the present days, it has become very important to know the effects of these operational conditions. In order to evaluate the effects of very long skidding distances on the time inputs and productivity, a time study was conducted for a Romanian skidder that operated in a mixed hardwood stand located in Central Romania, where group shelterwood cuttings were applied. We found out that the time input of a winching work cycle was most affected by winching distance and the number of logs, and developed time consumption models for the main groups of operations. For the mean conditions (winching distance of 8.7 m, mean skidding distance of 1706.3 m, a load volume of 4.89 m and 6.48 logs per turn) the net and gross production rates were of 4.41 m3/h and 3.12 m3/h, respectively. The results of this study may be helpful in operational costing or harvesting planning when dealing with reduced accesibility conditions.

Abstract

Romania's forest policy is based on a long tradition in establishing and implementing the principles of sustainable management of forestry resources, based on a sound scientific and technical foundation. This resulted in a rigorous forestry regime, designed to operate efficiently under the conditions of state ownership over all forests. Over the past 30 years, Romania has gone through a period of transition towards a market economy with major institutional changes that took place in the forest sector through the restitution of forests and the privatisation of the administration, logging and forest industry sector. In this context, the regulatory system did not have the expected efficiency, which is reflected in a clear social tension, involving all stakeholders interested in and affected by the management of forests: private owners, public and private forest administration, logging and wood processing companies, environmental protection organisations, civil society, etc. The paper presents the process of elaborating a vision for sustainable forest management that would underlie a new public forest policy, in accordance with the international strategic documents and with the current challenges faced by the Romanian forest sector. The dialogue platform used in the elaboration of the vision has been coordinated by a university, precisely to ensure a unitary methodological approach to involve relevant experts and stakeholders in the process. The development of the vision used a stepwise participatory process based on the activity of a core group of experts followed by an extension of the group of experts, a public consultation process and a public debate. The result of the process is materialised in a set of eight sustainable forest management principles and four good governance principles. The implementation of the principles requires the identification, through an efficient and constructive communication between all stakeholders, of specific directions of action that have to be integrated in a new regulatory system that needs to be clear, easily monitored and effective in terms of practical results.

Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Furthermore, patients with T2DM and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have a particularly high risk of CV events. The glucagonlike peptide 1 receptor agonist, lixisenatide, improves glycemia, but its effects on CV events have not been thoroughly evaluated. Methods: ELIXA (www.clinicaltrials.gov no. NCT01147250) is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallelgroup, multicenter study of lixisenatide in patients with T2DM and a recent ACS event. The primary aim is to evaluate the effects of lixisenatide on CV morbidity and mortality in a population at high CV risk. The primary efficacy end point is a composite of time to CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for unstable angina. Data are systematically collected for safety outcomes, including hypoglycemia, pancreatitis, and malignancy. Results: Enrollment began in July 2010 and ended in August 2013; 6,068 patients from 49 countries were randomized. Of these, 69% are men and 75% are white; at baseline, the mean ± SD age was 60.3 ± 9.7 years, body mass index was 30.2 ± 5.7 kg/m2, and duration of T2DM was 9.3±8.2 years. The qualifying ACS wasamyocardial infarctionin83% and unstableangina in 17%. The study will continue until the positive adjudication of the protocol-specified number of primary CV events. Conclusion: ELIXA will be the first trial to report the safety and efficacy of a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist in people with T2DM and high CV event risk. © 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract

The paper presents the carbon footprint of the 10 reservoirs on Colentina river in Bucharest. There were presented entry data and hypotheses used by G-res tool who was applied for determining GHG emissions of these reservoirs. Therefore, we now have a good picture about their contribution to the overall GHG emissions in Bucharest.

Abstract

Rationale: Obstructive jaundice can raise problems to diagnostic imaging. The radiologist must choose the most appropriate examination that delivers the most important diagnostic information because the differences between a lithiasic obstruction and a tumoral one are vital. This information helps the surgeon speed up the process of decision-making, because the treatment may be very different in relation to the nature of the obstruction. Objective: This study tries to demonstrate the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in detecting the obstacle in the common bile duct (CBD) and the possibility of establishing the lithiasic nature of the obstruction. Methods and Results: A retrospective analysis was analyzed during an interval of 18 months that included jaundice patients admitted in the General Surgery Department of "Coltea" Clinical Hospital. They were examined by CT scanning and by MRCP, being suspected of choledocholithiasis. 63 patients were included in the study, 34 females and 29 males. 33 CT scans and 30 MRCP exams were performed. Discussion: CT scan is useful in detecting residual or iterative choledocholithiasis in patients after cholecystectomy, contrast enhanced CT (CECT), being able to differentiate between lithiasic and non-iithiasic obstruction. MRCP delivers important anatomic details of the biliary tree; it is superior to CT in diagnosing the hepatocholedochal lithiasis; MRCP tends to replace endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) - the diagnostic "gold standard" reducing the number of unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures.

Abstract

Processor tower yarders (PTY) represent the current state of yarding technology being extensively used in mountainous conditions such as those from Central Europe where they were also developed and used for the first time. In proper technical conditions which are mostly related to forest road infrastructure such equipment may be introduced by technology transfer in other countries such as Romania where they could replace actual less-efficient forest equipment used in steep terrains. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of such equipment in conditions of thinning operations by adapting a time study to the general concepts and by using data collection techniques to suit the operational conditions imposed by such equipment. In conditions of a mean tree volume of 0.21 m3 × tree-1, the results of our study indicate net production rates as high as 12.72 m3 × h-1 when processing trees on landing, which could be also improved up to 17.52 m3 × h-1 if the PTY have been be adequately installed on the forest road. Another key aspect which could improve the efficiency of such equipment performing landing operations is the number of planned and realized wood assortments since the time expenditure was affected by their number. Given the reduced impact on forest soils as well as the increased efficiency of tower yarders, our study concludes that there would be a lot of potential in actually using them in the Romanian forests located in steep terrain, if proper transportation infrastructure would exist.

Abstract

The Republic of Moldova's initiatives for institutional and regulatory framework reform triggered the need for updating the approaches to natural resources management. In this process, the valuation of the ecosystem services provided by the forestry sector is of major interest for policy makers to anticipate the future effect of the envisaged reform measures. Using Sector Scenario Assessment, a method based on "business as usual" and "sustainable ecosystem management" scenarios comparison, this paper presents the value of provisioning services of the forestry sector. The analysis concluded that continuing to implement present policies and practices will create important economic losses on long term. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Work measurement techniques, including time studies, are often used when assessing the efficiency of a given process, while other important applications such as energy balance assessment and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies use data resulted from work measurement studies as well. Based on a bibliographic research which considered the studies carried out in Romania, this paper reviews the efforts made in Romanian forestry related to the use of time studies in efficiency assessment of different kind of equipments and develops a potential research roadmap related to the current international trends in such research by considering also the urgent needs of Romanian forest operations sector.

Abstract

In the present, risks are always present, but this thing doesn’t mean that the society can’t carry on the economic activity in conditions of a favorable result. Through the risks to which the entity is subject, an important place is the risk of bankruptcy. The level of this risk can be determined by using of large number of liquidity and solvability indicators on the base of dates from the balance of accounts and from the profit and loosing cont. In this paper is analyzed by comparison the risk of bankruptcy of companies listed at Bucharest Stock Exchange from three sectors of activity: production, commerce and tourism. It is analyzed the evolution of score Z, indicator representative for the risk of bankruptcy, on a period of 14 years (2002-2015), enough for every society and sector. The sample of 15 enterprises has been formed on basis of information available for this research. After analysis of results, we notice that the best results concerning the risk of bankruptcy are recorded in the commerce sector and on the last place is situated the tourism sector. In an future approach we will continue the research on a larger number of enterprises, and we will analyze the cause that lead to bankruptcy of societies, emphasizing to elaborate a systems which lead to a lower level the risk of bankruptcy.

Abstract

Ecosystem services addressed in this paper include wood production associated with the active management of forests and the value of non-timber forest products and hunting (i.e. direct use values of the protected areas) carried out in and around three of the most important protected areas in Romania. In order to provide information that supports decision making in natural resources management, data and results are presented in a friendly manner for economists, using Sector Scenario Analysis approach - a sector based comparison between business as usual and sustainable ecosystem management scenarios applied on Vanatori Neamţ, Retezat and Apuseni Mountains protected areas. Data presented proves that continuing to grant protected areas a low priority in policy development and funding will result in long term economic losses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Natural calamities (especially windthrows) may generate difficult work conditions in timber harvesting operations. When associated with the reduced accessibility conditions, the work conditions become even harder. This study investigates the time consumptions on specific work elements in timber skidding, develops time prediction models for timber skidding work elements and assesses the production rates for timber skidding in reduced accessibility stands where windthrow salvage cuttings were applied. Following a time study done for two skidders (TAF 690 OP and TAF 657) operating simultaneously in the same felling area, it has been found that, in average, in a delay free skidding cycle time, lateral winching accounted for a share of 26-33%, on-trail skidding accounted for a share of 64-71% and landing operations accounted for a share of 3%. Total delays accounted for 51% and 43% of the total work time in the case of TAF 690 OP skidder and TAF 657 skidder, respectively. Regression models for lateral winching (both skidders) revealed that the winching distance and the number of logs were the relevant predictors for the time consumption estimation (p <0.01), whereas in the case of on-trail skidding only the skidding distance was relevant (p <0.01). For the overall skidding operation (excluding landing operations) winching and skidding distances were found as relevant predictors (p <0.01) for 690 OP, whereas the number of logs became an additional relevant predictor for 657. In conditions of an average winching distance of 19.90 m and an average on-trail skidding distance of 980.32 m, the time study yielded a net production rate of 7.70 m3 h-1 and a gross production rate of 3.75 m3 h-1 in the case of TAF 690 OP skidder. By comparison, in the case of TAF 657 skidder, for an average winching distance of 22.86 m and an average on-trail skidding distance of 871.00 m, the net and gross production rates were of 5.61 m3 h-1 and 3.20 m3 h-1 respectively.

Abstract

Uterine leiomyoma, commonly known as fibroids, are extremely common benign lesions of the uterus, usually surgically managed when symptomatic. The surgical options (myomectomy or hysterectomy) are associated with significant morbidity in terms of increased blood loss, duration of surgery, postoperative complications and longer hospital stay. Another alternative treatment is hormonal therapy using gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists which are primarily used as temporary preoperative measure for reducing tumour size and vascularity. Though th is approach dramatically improves symptomatology and reduces fibroid size, these tumours re-grow to their original size with in a few month s of discontinuing treatment and are associated with adverse effects (osteoporosis, amenorrhea). Uterine artery embolization is one of the new treatment options presently available in major institutions as an alternative to hysterectomy in women wishing to preserve reproductive function. Embolization is a minimally invasive means of blocking the arteries th at supply blood to the fibroids. It is a procedure th at uses angiographic techniques to place a catheter into the uterine arteries. Small particles are injected into the arteries, which results in the blockage of the arteries feeding the fibroids. Uterine artery embolization is also cost-effective and is associated with a short hospital stay and may be an option in women with major medical illness. The following treatise addresses the selection of patients, contraindications, details of the procedure and available evidence with regard to safety and benefits of the procedure.
