Natural honey was tested as a corrosion inhibitor for bronze in a simulated acid rain solution as Na2SO4and NaHCO3 (pH 5).Electrochemical investigations (potentiodynamic polarization and impedance measurements) showed that honey exert a protective effect against corrosion bronze and, in some cases inhibiting its effectiveness exceeds 93% at concentration level as low as 500ppm. Potentiodynamic polarization method indicates that honey acts mainly as a mixed-type inhibitor with predominantly control of thecathodic reaction. The presence of honey significantly decreases the values of corrosion current density. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy shows that the inhibition efficiency increases with the increases of honey concentration.

The aim of this article is to present the research, which identified the prehistoric human’s relation to the natural resources that can be used repeatedly. For thousands of years human have been learning how to rationally manage nature reserves. The most interesting evidence of the prehistoric “recycling” is clay tablets with Linear B writing which were used in the administrative centre of one of Europe’s oldest civilizations – Mycenaean. It had been developed from about the seventeenth to twelfth century BC in the area of Greece. Clay tablets were not only made of a material that was used again, but they also contained inscriptions showing that Mycenaeans would mend and use again several of metal elements. “Recycling” could be used for the same reason for which we do it today as well – for the reasonable management of scarce non-renewable resources.

The aims of the present paper was to investigate the possibility of using the electrocoagulation method (EC) for the removal of Ni2+ and Cr3+ ions from the wastewaters generated at an electroplating plant from Transylvania area. In he investigated wastewater samples, the concentration of Ni2+ and Cr3+ significantly exceeds the maximum consent limits established by Romanian Standard NTPA001/2002. The influence of the varying operating parameters, such as the applied current intensity (4,5 and 6 A), electrode material (Fe and Al) and the contact time (10 to 60 minutes) on the heavy metals removal was investigated. The results showed that the removal of the metals from electroplating wastewaters solution increases with increasing current density and operating time. Using iron electrodes, over 99.64% of nickel and 99.39% of chromium ions were removed efficiently by conducting the EC treatment at current intensity of 5A, pH of 8.09 and EC time of 60 min. By using aluminium electrodes, the removal efficiency of Ni2+ was 98.21%, at pH 6.02, a current intensity of 5A and an operation time of 60 min.

This paper aims to highlight the evolution of cadastre mainly through a comparative between Romanian cadastre against the German .It is well known that Germany occupies a leading technology and methods of land measurements..Along with this our country belongs to Permanent Committee on Cadastre in the European Union. With a history of about 150 years both Germany and Romania have gone through different phases of technology. At the moment Romania is in full process of national cadastral measurements, given that only 20% of the cadastral approx 40mil are measured, although modern cadastre appearance was registered since 1933.With a long history of land registration in Germany it is a proven fact that a good working system of security of land tenure is very important for a developed society. Investments in land and buildings are very difficult or even impossible without a land registration system. Lessons learned during the reunification process in Germany and the establishment of a market driven economy in the former socialist part of the country. The re-introduction of a cadastral system in the new states was a big task for the surveying professionals in the public and the private sector. Why should Romania invest to follow the German example? Is the technology used by the cadastre workers expired or do we need new ways of exploiting resources?

This paper aims to present the technology of laser scanner which digitally captures the shape of physical objects using a line of laser light. Three dimensional laser scanner creates point cloud of data from the surface of an object. In another words 3D laser scanning technology is a way to capture a physical object exact size and shape into the computer world as a digital 3 dimensional representation. The first step of this kind of project is the field part. In this case was used a static way of measuring because of the scanner which was fixed during the measurements and was not placed on a moving platform such as airplanes, helicopters. The second step is the modelling part which can be done only by using special software for 3D modelling. This part is the most durable because of the point cloud data. In our software that we have chose to use, this data will be represented in a couple of colors such as: white, blue, red, green and yellow, each color having a meaning. Even though nowadays laser scanning technology is expansive represents a most suitable, better, faster way to take different type of measurements with a large type of data, than using a theodolite, a total station or even GPS technology.

Soil is an important component of all terrestrial ecosystems as well as fundamental resource in the agricultural production system that why monitoring of soil fertility is an important objective for the sustainable agro-ecosystems development. Changes in its physical, chemical and biological properties must be taken into account, in order to evaluate soil fertility. Biological indicators are suitable tools for predicting and assessing soil changes that are caused by both natural and anthropogenic factors. Among the biological features, soil enzymes are often used as indicator of soil fertility because they are very sensitive and respond to changes in soil management more quickly than other soil variables. In this respect, the objective of this paper was to determine enzyme activity of the soil from USAMV – Bucharest orchard in order to evaluate its fertility.

The aim of this study is to determine the ecotop parameters used for restoration of degraded lands, which are not recommended to other uses. Afforestation reduces the extreme values of climatic factors (temperature, Evapotranspiration, wind speed): improves the air humidity and soil moister; and favors site conditions for maintaining herbaceous and forestry vegetation development. The decreasing of land degradation and the gradually restoration of productive capacity under the direct effect of forest cultures could be analyzed by variation of precipitation retention by canopy. The results regarding canopy retentions were obtained by placing in situ several rain gauges with height of 25 cm and 100 cm2. The precipitations retentions by canopy values were computed by the difference between the amount of rainfall recorded in open grounds and average values recorded at rain gauge installed in land cover with trees (in forest). Rains were grouped into classes, and the rainfall for each class being calculated as mean value of precipitation retained. The data obtained were highlighted with correlation between rainfall inside the forest and rainfall outside the forest. The curves of retention in the canopy layer were plot according to the height of rainfall and some characteristics of trees (species, age, consistency).The frequency of days with precipitation ranged from one month to another and from one season to another. The data set analyzed showed that rainfall triggered surface runoffs in seven day (5% of the total days computed). The slope of regression between monthly average rainfall index and the amount of rainfall previously recorded expresses an increase from a drought year to a rainy year. The average rainfalls per square meter inside the stand increased with the amount of rainfall quatity, the highest values were registered over 70 mm. Maximum discharge coefficients, determined by class of precipitation, highlighted the influence upon runoffs: the maximum value (0,219) being achieved by precipitation from 0 to 10 mm, although the maximum rainfall is obtained in the precipitation of more than 50 mm. Based on the computed data were determined regression equations between the runoffs amount and precipitation quantity, also, between rainfalls quantity and standard deviation of previous monthly.

This project contains the designing of a precast reinforced concrete bridge on main forest road "Valea Rosie", km 1+110. The bridge will be sized for 2nd category of loading (according to STAS 3221-74) and it will be designed with one lane. The hydraulic capacity was determined after the flow hazard and river geomorphology. .It is necessary to size the main beams of the bridge to support the load, the bending moments and the oblique section of them. The deck size must be calculated to resist its own weight and the layers above it. There are differences between beam and deck design; the load being the common factor design for both. The final phase consists of predimensioning, designing and verification of abutment. The design process ends with determining optimal size in correlation with service the bridge is expected to provide.This project contains the designing of a precast reinforced concrete bridge on the "Valea Rosie" main forest road, km 1+110.

Through exploitation the coal are brought to the surface some of the radioactive elements in the earth's crust. Coal used in the process of Thermo-electric power station (CET) Paroseni produce from burning slag and ash, which is deposited in the Valley Caprisoara. It is known that, radioactive elements in the coal not burn and not oxidize, so that radioactive waste of ash is more concentrated. In this paper we propose to determine the distribution of radionuclides in ash and slag in deposits and surrounding areas. These measurements are necessary because the nature and energy of radiation emitted are conditional of ways the irradiation of organisms.

The present article is meant as a detailed presentation of the problems which can occur in the conversion of military sites into other centres, through entrepreneurship. The area looked into is located in Rimnicu Vilcea, where the University of Pitesti, after taking over a part of the original area, carries out some of its activities. This study is meant to be a criterion for sustainable development ,namely environmental, landscape restoration proposed by contributing to environmental quality improvement and pollution sources reduction by removing the aspect of "vacant land", degraded and untidy. The studied area has a surface area of 72820 square metres and there are 23 buildings on it. The land measurements have been made with specific topographic equipment: GPS SOUTH S86-T and Pentax total station W- 822NX, using RTK-kinematic method. The planimetric coordinate values have been registered for each point in the 70’s Stereo System. In order to identify the species of trees and shrubs resistant to environment and microclimate conditions, a small dendrologic study has been made. The plants have been planted as naturally as possible in order to fix the soil and to create a show of vegetation through foliage, colour and fragrance. Thanks to the chromatic change of the foliage, the thickness and transparency of the crown, the varied forms and volumes, the vegetation will ensure the variety of the lanscape, making the area more alive.

The recent studies regarding the membrane technologies indicate that the membrane process applications involve for providing the high quality drinking water and increasing the use of industrial water consumption. The membrane process has been used in applications such as wastewater treatment, industrial water production, water softening, and in the separation of compounds having different molecular weights. Of using in many membrane process Microfiltration (MF) and Ultra filtration (UF) are low pressure filtration processes that are used for pathogen and suspended solids removal as seen in many studies (Guo et al., 2010; Yang et al., 2014). In this study, we investigated the possibility of using microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membrane systems for treatment of wastewater generated from underground hard coal mining of Kozlu Basin. In first stage of this study, the wastewater was treated using MF membrane filtration system. The MF membrane filtration system was composed of the flat sheet MF membrane module equipped with Polivinilflorid (PVDF) membranes purchased from MICRODYN-NADIR membranes, Germany. The MF membrane has a filter area of 140 cm2 and average pore diameter of 0.2 μm as given by supplier. In second stage of study, the effluents of MF were treated using UF membrane filtration. The UF membrane filtration system was composed of the flat sheet UF membrane module equipped with Polyethersulfone (PESH) membranes purchased from MICRODYN-NADIR membranes, Germany. The UF membrane has a filter area of 140 cm2 and molecular weight cut-offs (MWCOs) of 50 KDa as given by supplier. In the experimental study, the raw water was provided from discharge point of underground hard coal mining of Kozlu Basin. In order to determine the total treatment performance of the MF/UF system, water samples were taken from inlets and outlets of the MF and UF membrane systems, respectively. The pressures were fixed at 1 and 2.5 bars for MF and UF, respectively during the experimental study. In test of wastewater, total coliform, turbidity, conductivity, pH, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, sulphate, sodium, potassium, chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), calcium, magnesium and total hardness as parameters were analysed in raw and treated water. The results were compared with Turkish Standards (TS 266) and European Union (EC).

As known, nowadays we are facing new ecological pressures, when land, water and clean air are not anymore regarded as infinite resources. As an example, in Bucharest, the current urban sprawl has begun to destroy the most valuable land and open-space resources. All along the Colentina river there is an impressive potential of creating green areas, but also new dwellings combined with peri-urban agriculture, not forgetting about heritage. All the 13 lakes have their own identities, but which are not fully taken care of. It can easily be noticed the lack of management of these lakes- the shores are in a bad condition, inaccessible, the water is far from being clean and, what is more, water pollution happens without any refrain. What we suggest is to design cycle tracks, walking paths, beach areas, sportive areas, decks, restaurants, greenways, community gardens, agricultural areas, all intelligently integrated in a econeighbourhood along Grivita lake. Also, reinforcing the shores and reassuring the continuity of the existing ecosystems are important aspects of our project. All in all, our aim is to tackle the social, economical and ecological issues all together. This would mean to rise the quality of living in the peripheral areas of Bucharest, create social mixity and also encourage the small commerce which is an extremely important aspect for the community

Collapsibility of the loess is strongly governed by water content and the magnitude of applied stress. Under an increasing load, the critical pressure at which collapse started to occur was greater for the loess with lower water content. At natural water content the critical pressure was greater than the overburden pressure. The greatest problem with collapsible soils arises when the existence and extent of the collapse potential are not recognized prior to construction. Settlements associated with development on untreated collapsible soils usually lead to expensive repairs. A comparative study between natural undisturbed and compacted samples of collapsible soils was performed. An attempt was made to relate the collapse potential to the initial moisture content.

In all seismic areas, local and state officials and prudent property owner, establish procedures to assess the safety of buildings and other important structures following a main seismic event. Such decisions, in most cases, are based on visual inspections of possible damage to the structure. If the structure appears damaged, it is necessary to further examine and assess as to whether the damage condition of the structure presents an unsafe environment for the occupants of that structure. If available, instrumental measurements of shaking of a building or a nearby ground site are very useful to decision makers. In this sense the paper present a method to assess the building safety of Reinforced Concrete structures using seismic records made by seismic station. Both dynamic analysis and processing/recording of seismic events are made using modern techniques and equipment existent in Reinforced Concrete Laboratory. Mention that seismic equipment for strong motion records belongs National Seismic Network for Construction of National Institute for Research and Development in Construction, Urban Planning and Sustainable Spatial Development.„URBAN-INCERC”, and equipment was installed here on the base of cooperation protocol signed by the two institutions. The paper results are conclusive and are discussed both on the charts and analytical results obtained. The activities of this research were conducted under the supervision of PhD. Claudiu-Sorin DRAGOMIR, Lecturer in the Department of Environment and Land Reclamation at the Faculty of Land Reclamation and Environment Engineering Faculty in Bucharest in Bucharest.
