Composting solid municipal waste, a determinant process for an integrated waste management
Authors: Ioana-Alina Cretan 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Composting municipal solid waste is a beneficial recycling tool. Its use in safe conditions in agriculture depends on the quality of the compost. Composting a maximum amount of greenery and food waste (from households and institutions, courtyards, gardens, parks, markets and street waste) is one of the proposed targets for reducing biodegradable waste. The paper aims at presenting a model of the composting process in the best technical and environmental conditions. Considering that for Romania, the most important issue to be addressed is the reduction of the amount of waste to be deposited; this can be done through a real selective collection and the production of compost from biodegradable waste. If the sorting of biodegradable waste is done at the site of production to obtain compost, that means not only the reduction of the amount of waste to be deposited but also a source of money, and the amount of leachate and biogas produced would be much diminished. Also, the presence of the specific creatures of this ecosystem would decrease considerably. Taking into account the limited nature of natural resources, the recovery, regeneration and sustainable use of resources are the essential elements of an environmental policy. Composting thus provides the opportunity to create SMEs as well as to increase employment and professional qualifications. Not all wastes have to be dumped, they can be utilized, separated and thus large amounts of raw materials and energy resources can be saved, and the area occupied by landfills can be reduced. In the waste management process, an important role is played by the local public authorities (municipalities and local councils), who have the obligation to collect selectively and transport in time the entire quantity of waste produced.
Paleogeographic and Age Findings on Planktonic Foraminiferal Assemblages of Yuksekova Complex in the Northeast of Elazig (Eastern Turkey)
Authors: Ural Melek , Kaya Sari Meral 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The Yüksekova Complex is one of the parts of oceanic crust representing the Bitlis-Zagros suture zone in the eastern Turkey. The volcanosedimentary rocks of the unit, which is widely exposed around the Elaziğ (E-NE Turkey) province are located in the Seki-Hacihasan district (E Elazığ) and Asker Mountains (NE of Elazığ). In this area, the planktonic foraminifera bearing pink-red micritic limestones and related volcanogenic rocks were examined and aged. The volcanogenic rocks related to the micritic limestones are mainly spilitic and pillow shaped basalts. The volcanogenic rocks contain mainly of plagioclase ± pyroxene ± partly olivine set in amygdaloidal, intersertal, hyalo-microlitic porphyric textures. The sediments consist mainly of thin- to- medium-bedded muddy limestones. The pelagic red limestones are represented mostly by biomicrite and contain a large quantity of planktonic foraminifera and slight amount of thin shelled bivalve fragments, radiolaria, and echinoderm fragments. The planktonic foraminifera are composed mainly of Globotruncana arca, G. gagnebini, G. lapparenti, G. cf. falsostuarti, Globotruncanita stuarti, Gt. stuartiformis, Gt. conica, Globotruncanella citae and Rosita fornicata scattered into a micritic matrix. Small amounts of silt and sandsized quartz grains are also observed in some thin sections. Accordingly, based on planktonic foraminifera bearing micritic limestones, the age of the Yüksekova Complex is proposed Late Campanian-Late Maastrichtian. Thus, the Late Campanian-Late Maastrichtian aged red pelagic limestones of the Yüksekova Complex were deposited in the deeper parts of the Late Cretaceous Ocean, probably a deep shelf edge.
Impact of Mining Extraction on Above-Ground Pipelines
Authors: Kalisz Piotr 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The issue of the impact of subsoil deformations on above-ground steel pipelines, especially district heating pipelines, located in mining areas in Poland was discussed. The pipelines constructed from steel pipes joined by welding and supported by slide, guide and fixed rigid supports were taken into account. Expansion joints in district heating pipelines are installed due to significant changes in their length caused by temperature changes. Subsoil deformations in mining areas cause displacements of supports and thus pipelines are subjected to additional displacements, forces and bending moments. Pipelines are protected against this impact by the use of additional expansion joints or expansion joints with an increased operating range. In the article, the way of assessing the possibility of transferring mining deformations of the subsoil by existing above-ground pipelines was presented. Evaluation of the possibility considers: a. the assessment of the technical condition of the pipelines and supports based on the conducted inventory in the field, b. the assessment of the current ability to transmit the subsoil deformations by expansion joints, c. the kinematic analysis of the pipelines, taking into account the extreme values of support displacements, resulting from predicted values of mining deformations of the subsoil, d. the static and strength analysis for selected elements or sections of the pipelines.
Panel Analysis to Investigate the Relationship Between Economic Growth, Import, Consumption of Materials and Energy
Authors: Bluszcz Anna , Manowska Anna 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Nature conservation, or the preservation of the natural capital, is an important factor in ensuring prosperity for present and future generations. The essence of the concept of sustainable development is to ensure the use of natural resources in such a way that society‘s needs can be met most effectively while maintaining the possibility of biological regeneration of the environment. This concept does not mean abandoning the production and consumption of goods but indicates the need for a number of structural and technological changes that will allow for the relatively smallest depreciation of natural capital. An effective tool for monitoring progress in this area can be the continuously developed material flow account. Studies indicate that in highly developed countries GDP growth is possible with a relatively smaller increase in material demand and energy use. The aim of the article is to examine the dependencies that occur between the GDP growth rate and the growth rate of imports of goods and services, while reducing energy consumption and consumption of materials. The study was based on data concerning the economies of selected European Union and Poland. The article presents the method of modeling the decoupling phenomenon using the panel data technique.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
The main purpose of the research was to design a database for collected measurements of the Computer System for Monitoring River Embankments (ISMOP) project. The ISMOP project aimed to conduct research on comprehensive monitoring and forecasting the flood embankments condition. As a part of the project, measurement data were collected continuously, transformed, interpreted and analysed using computer simulations. The assumption of the database was to achieve high availability of data in a short time, allowing quick (in less than 15 minutes) decision about the state of the flood embankment. The warehouse project contains large amount of time series data sets, 2D numerical models, analysis results of flood embankments condition and additional measurements like thermographic simulations. Simple database structure was proposed. Data were loaded into small number of tables, data types were adjusted for high accessibility. Such structure allows to use quick data selection for analysis and visualization and prevents from unnecessary data redundancy. To effectively visualize and analyse sensor’s data an additional ArcGIS plugin tool was created. The plugin offers the spatial visualization functionality of sensor placement (2D and 3D views), their selection, distance and area measurements, statistical calculations and spatial analysis. The tool also provides ability of manual modification and exporting data into shape and spreadsheet files for further analysis. For the examples that were carried out, the database structure and the plugin were efficient and results were quickly achievable. Data were presented in a manageable way in form of 2D charts and 3D visualizations.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
In this paper, we examined the increased risk of urban flooding due to incorrect or insufficient maintenance of small hydrological basins. In particular, the effects of a peak rainfall event on a water drainage canal near to a town in central Italy were considered. By means of the RiverFlow2D commercial computational software, the Shallow water technique was chosen, which is based on the Finite Volume Element and on the Godunov-Riemann technique. We also experimented with parallel computing, by performing the same calculations with GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) and we were able to significantly reduce the total time by 80 times. The study area is located in Pianello di Ostra district (Ancona, Marche, Italy). The peak rain data, which is publicly available, were recorded by the Corinaldo pluviometric station (9.1 km from the area) between April 26th and May 2nd 2014 and it caused a subsequent flooding event lasting two days. We integrated pluviometric data with available cartography, a rigorous site inspection, interviews with inhabitants and a high-resolution topographic survey (30 x 30 cm) acquired with a drone. To process rainfall data, we selected the Curve-Number (CN) empirical method, developed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (SCS). The parametric simulations on Fosso della Trocca basin were performed considering both pre-flooding maintenance state, with obstructions of the channel and the presence of a small bridge, and optimal maintenance state, with no obstructions and no bridge. The computer-simulated depth of the flooding water was compatible with what was observed during the real flood. Thus, the effects of increasingly intense rainfall events were estimated. However, we found that threshold values exist above which no ordinary maintenance is sufficient to avoid flooding phenomena.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
The paper describes the current state of cadaster and land registration in Bulgaria. The objects of cadaster are clarified. The necessity of information about rights, restriction and responsibilities increases in complex spatial situations. After a brief review of cadastral and land registration legislation, the possibility of future development of a 3D presentation of the cadastral objects is presented, taking into account the current state of the cadastral system in Bulgaria. The prerequisites, the possibilities and the means for application of 3D cadaster in Bulgaria are clarified and the challenges to its realization. Problems concerning the design of an efficient system for land administration, possible technologies and standards for realization of 3D cadaster are described. The possible data sets, in accordance with ISO 19152, which should be present in the realization of 3D cadaster in Bulgaria are analyzed. In addition to the data from the digital model of the cadaster, specialized data is also needed. Some of the specialized objects require a three-dimensional representation, which is a prerequisite for 3D cadaster development. Many of the various specialized objects impose restrictions on land immovables, even though the presence of the object itself is not required. Schematically are described the necessary steps to go through to unify data and achieve interoperability.
Nonlinear finite element analysis of stress-strain state of plate-rod reinforced concrete structures under the action of bending and torsion
Authors: Tamrazyan A G , Kharun M 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
In this study, loadings of plate-rod structures were considered, causing a complex stress state, which are exposed to significant external forces applied outside the plane, causing torsion of the structure as a whole. An analysis of the stress-strain state of a plate-rod reinforced concrete truss with regard to concrete creep is given. The core and volumetric models and the calculation of the plate-rod trusses in the ANSYS software package taking into account the creep of concrete are created, the results of computer calculations and the comparative characteristics of the results obtained are presented. The forces in the truss elements from the load located in its plane are determined by any method known from structural mechanics for the calculation of plate-rod systems. External torques that act on the structure are balanced in the amount of reactive support torques. The calculation of the strength of elements of reinforced concrete plate-rod trusses is carried out for sections that are normal to their longitudinal axis, and also for sections of the most dangerous direction that are inclined to it. Calculation of the plate-rod trusses under the action of bending and torque is associated with the determination of the twist angle of the truss sections or with the determination of its torsional stiffness.
Hyper plasticizers and basalt fibers as the resistance of concrete that can be affected by vegetable oils
Authors: Gamal T S F , Chiadighikaobi P C 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
With the development of the agro-industrial complex and the construction of enterprises for processing oleaginous crops, the issue of protecting construction structures from the effects of oil arises. The negative effect of the oils on concrete and reinforced concrete leads to the reduction of reliability and durability of constructions in general, and to different accidents or unscheduled repairs at processing enterprises. In the experimental study of the effective ways to increase the durability of concrete and concrete structures due to the use of modern plasticizing additives, basalt fiber and finely dispersed fillers has been determined. The obtained results of the research can be used in the design of reinforced concrete structures operated with the growth of vegetable or mineral oils, as well as for practical purposes when carrying out a technical survey at industrial plants where vegetable or mineral oil is produced. Basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) is suggested to be a solution to the effect of oil on concrete. The properties and characteristics of basalt fibers give the fiber advantages when compared to other ways to curing or solving the effects of oil on concrete.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
This article is devoted to the peculiarities of calculating compliance modifications of the timber elements on mechanical linkages. Here we analyze in detail the method of C M Kochenov using in the design standards of the Russian Federation. This method allows to determine accurately the number of links that are able to resist the shear force in the linkage, however, this method does not include analyzing of shear deformation in modifications. And it is a disadvantage. In this article the author considers another approach, based on the idea of determining the shear deformation of the mechanical linkage, installed in the connection. To calculate the shear deformations of connections in the linkage it is necessary to conduct a preliminary analysis of the construction, to establish the type of connection and thickness of the connected elements, to determine the number of shear planes, the number of established joints and the level load on the joint. After determining these values, structural analysis design is performed. This article describes in detail the theoretical aspects of this method, used assumptions and limitations. It is considered a test case for validation of the considered methods. The FEM joints model is investigated. The forces and displacements of the bonds obtained by the FEM model are compared with the result of the theoretical calculation.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
There is a large-scale construction of a new type of residential real estate – apartments in Moscow. The attractiveness of prices and the location of the complexes attract a huge number of buyers. Two terms: apartments and luxury housing become synonymous, but this is a misunderstanding and substitution of true concepts. The authors set the tasks to specify the definition of “apartments” in the understanding of specialists - architects; to identify the main features and parameters of this new for Russia concept; scientifically describe the main trends in the development of this type of real estate as a modern and relevant object of architectural design. Three types of apartments were determined as a result of the conducted analysis: apart-hotels; apartments in a multi-unit dwelling; “multi-form” apartments in a residential complex. It is revealed that the apartments are ranked by the convenience, size and quality of services provided. The authors identified the following classes: economy, comfort, business and elite. The article discusses some legislative nuances, design standards, engineering solutions for apartment buildings, as well as the features of their location in the structure of the city of Moscow.

Abstract
Manabi is the only province in Ecuador that does not receive contribution of the runoff coming from the thaw of the snow-covered of the Andes mountain. This situation impacts severely on the agriculture activities. This study presents an estimate of water supply and demand of the Manabi hydrographic demarcation based on the hydro meteorological data and the water needs of the population by 2050. The research topic is very topical since it contributes to providing the necessary inputs for the planning and use of water resources in order to generate projects that tend to cover the current water deficit. The methodology used to estimate the water supply is based on the precipitation-runoff model proposed by the Soil Conservation Service of the United States of America. In fact, in spite of the annual volume of runoff has been estimated at 9658.83 hm3, against 2388.93 hm3, which is the average annual volume of water to meet the demands, from July to November it can be seen that the deficit reach at 330.27 hm3. The results obtained constitute a valuable tool for specialists and governmental and non-governmental institutions responsible for the control, planning and development of water resources in the region.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
An artificial neural network system has been developed to detect Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Three samples were taken from each patient and included in the system. The importance of the study is based on the development and use of a new subject-based ANN approach that takes into account the dependent nature of the data in a replicated measure-based design. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed system, an audio replication-based experiment was performed to differentiate healthy people from PD patients. The UCI Experiment consisted of 80 subjects, half of whom were affected by PD. Although the proposed system has a reduced number of subjects, the system is able to distinguish people with PD from an acceptable degree of healthy people with an accuracy rate of 94.93% in an artificial neural network.
Prospects for development of high-temperature evaporative cooling systems of internal combustion engines with increased temperatures of the cooling body
Authors: Konoplev V , Bogdanov V , Melnikov Z , Belitsky G 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The article deals with issues related to the development of the high-temperature evaporative cooling (HTEC) systems of internal combustion engines (ICE). These systems can transfer the proportion of heat that flows to the ICE into the cooling system. HTEC systems are usually part of the integrated heat recovery (IHR) systems based on large-piston ICEs. It is proposed to improve the efficiency of the operation of the HTEC systems, as well the IHR systems on their basis, by a significant increase in the temperature of the cooling body in the cooling jacket up to 200°C and even 350°C. The increased coolant temperature causes a decrease in the power of the heat fluxes from the heated surfaces thus causing the engine overheat. This reduction can be compensated by increasing the area of the cooled surfaces of the sleeves and cylinder heads. To test the theoretical proposals, a working ICE model equipped with the HTEC-based IHR system was developed. The results of its bed tests are provided. During the experiments, the temperature of the coolant in the cooling jacket reached 204°C, with the engine performance remaining stable.
