Published: December 2021

The paper presents the results of the researches carried out at the Agricultural Research Station Oradea, Bihor County, between 1994 and 2002, regarding millet and wheat yields from a haplic luvosoil polluted under control with oil brought from the exploitation site at Suplacu de Barcău.
Phytoremediation is a recent technology that is used to stabilize or remove wastes from soils, groundwater or other medium by using living plants.
The experimental device was made out of micro parcels of 1 m², set up in a randomized manner, in a Latin square, polluted with a concentration of: 0, 1, 3, 5 and 10 % (0, 3, 9, 15, and 30 l/m²), oil in the ploughed layer, in four repetitions.
The experience was than cultivated with in the first three years with millet (1993-1995), a plant that is considered to be resistant to pollution, and than until 2002 with spring wheat. The tendency of relative yields of polluted plots show that in the time of research period of ten years, the pollutant was phyto degraded, without any ameliorative measures.
For the plot variants polluted with different concentration of crude oil, between the relative yields and time of research period was established second degree polynomial correlations, distinct and very significant statistically.
The shape of the curves indicates the fact that after a minimum of relative yields, registered in the first or the second year of research period these increases continuously in time, until the finish of the experiment.
The intensity of soil pollution, in the last year of research period, using the yield losses, in the plots with 1 % oil concentration is unpolluted, in the plots with 3 % oil concentration is weakly polluted, in the variant plots with 5 % oil concentration is moderate polluted and respectively in the plots with 10 % oil concentration is yet strong polluted.
The time of phytodegradation, evaluated with help of equations, through the condition for relative yields to be 95 %, when the soil pollution characterization became unpolluted results that: on the 1 % variant the soil became unpolluted after 5,4 years, on the 3 % after 7,8 years, on the 5 % variant after 9,6 years, and on the 10 % variant the soil became unpolluted after 10,8 years.
Modelling Nitrate Formation and Movement in Vineyard Soils – A Contribution to a More Sustainable Viticulture
Authors: SCHALLER Klaus 
Published: December 2021

Ecologically sound production is a catchword used in nearly all viticulture production areas. Besides the pesticides inputs which are unavoidable specific attention is directed to nitrates which can pollute ground water reserves and may have some adverse effects to humans after consumption. There are two main sources for nitrate in vineyard soils: a) mineralization of humic compounds from the soil and b) nitrogen fertilization. In the latter case the inputs can be controlled via balance sheets, which are obligatory in Germany for instance. During a six years period the mineralization process of slowly decomposable organic matter in vineyard soils was evaluated.
As a basis STANFORDs equations were used to describe that process but could finally reduced to a zero order equation. These findings were combined with different sub-models from soil science: heat transfer and water movement. Input values are very simple to determine: global irradiation, soil texture (sand, silt, clay) and wet digested organic matter (WALKLEY-BLACK). The compiled model is deterministic. Therefore it is transferable to other, unknown sites. The nitrate dynamic in soils can be followed up with one starting value which under German conditions is determined after harvest or in early springtime: the calculation includes the soils water content, the nitrate concentrations, possibly nitrate losses, and the NO3-content at the point of planned fertilization. Normally the mineral fertilizer input can be reduced without endangering yield and quality of grapevines. The model is now used as a tool for the extension service. On the other hand it is a powerful proof that viticulture, which is mostly carried out in vulnerable land sites, can save the environment for future generations.

Published: December 2021

This paper presents a simple and inexpensive alternative risk management of surface soil erosion and landslides for vineyards farms. The application is cheap because it uses very cheap or even free of charge techniques and tools. Furthermore, this method can be also applied and used for other type of farms. At the same time, the method can be applied to any land and not only for the risk management of the soil erosion and landslides, but also for managing data and records of land parcels with different uses.
The main idea is using free GIS software in order to obtain the necessary geometric data required for the relevant area relief. GIS software can archive geometrical characteristics of terrain data, soil data, vegetation covering data, etc. Risk estimators calculation is achieved by two basic models of soil erosion and landslides. Risk maps are performed using the same GIS software.
Organic Methods for Root Making in Different Aloe Species
Authors: VÂRBAN Rodica , VÂRBAN Dan 
Published: December 2021

The experiments were carried ut on three Aloe species. In all Aloe species the best making roots substrate was perlite, the root making time interval and viability percent being different function of specie, but always superior when shoots were placed in perlite.
The results obtained in Aloe ferox specie emphasize that this specie made roost faster, by all three substrates, even the shoots used for roots making had less vigour compared to those from other two Aloe species.
In average by all three substrates, we found that Aloe ferox and Aloe vera made roots faster, compared to Aloe arborescens, maybe because these are slightly lignified at their basis. The same tendency was reported concerning viability percents,the best results being recorded in Aloe ferox and Aloe vera species.

Published: December 2021

In this paper we present results, from 2008: the influence of cultivars, the density and fertilization on plant morphology, size and number of leaves and leaf production.
They studied four cultivations of artichokes: “Unirea” (Romanian varieties), “Violet” (Italian variety), “Agrosel 656” (commercial cultivar) and “de Chişinău” (cultivar of Moldavia Rep.). They were placed in the experimental field at Jucu - Cluj, two densities (70 x 40 cm and 70 x 60 cm) and three levels of fertilization (F0 = unfertilized, F20 = applied 20 t / ha manure to plowing in the autumn and F 40 = 40 t / ha manure).
Before the first harvest measurements were made on plant size, number and size of leaves and ultimately the production of leaves for the two harvesting.
Results of determinations are contained in four tables. Statistical interpretation of data has been done by analysis of variance.
Plant size in the four cultivations was between 30 and 60 cm in direct correlation with fertilization.
Total production of fresh leaves was between 13.33 and 25.10 t / ha. This variant was more productive: the variety „Unirea”, fertilization 40 t / ha manure and distances between plants 70 x 40 cm. There is a direct correlation between close-fertilization and greater plant density per unit area.

Published: December 2021

AbstractWell preserved mortars based on natural hydraulic lime are widely spread in historical buildings throughout the alpine area of Tyrol, Austria. These are frequently restored with mortars oriented on historical models. Portland cement is also commonly used to modify these materials on building sites to speed up the setting time to improve the early frost-thaw resistance, primarily when they are applied around the winter season. Therefore, it was our objective to specify the application potentials of those materials, respecting the intended use and the atmospheric conditions. Moreover, we tried to figure out the possible benefits and risks when using NHL-based materials, optionally modified by cement, yielding stable recommendations for the work with corresponding mortars. Hence, we examined the development of strength and water transport, also the frost-thaw durability in a temporal context. The obtained results were compared with findings of assessing both materials under variable weather conditions around the winter season. Accordingly, the use of pure NHL-based lime mortars resulted as being critical mainly until about two months before intense frost conditions. Cement effectively contributes to the rapid hydraulic setting reaction in NHL-based materials. Hence, we recommend measured cement additions in areas where strong frost is expected after a few weeks and especially targeted in areas where carbonation is hindered because of excess moisture. Nevertheless, the potential use of Portland cement should be properly controlled in historic building preservation. A systematical approach that considers the framework conditions and the corresponding application to an area is essential to assure an appropriate conservation outcome.

Platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of alopecia
Authors: Rizvi Safi Abbas 
Published: December 2021

<p>Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a promising treatment choice for patients with thinning hair. Despite excellent clinical safety and low cost, its clinical standing is still weak. The effectiveness of this method depends on its dosage, number of sessions, their intervals and technique of injection incorporated. PRP can produce particularly some phenomenal effects when applied in cosmetic dermatology. The therapeutic value of PRP is equivalent to stem cells and considered as one of the promising therapeutic agents in regenerative medicine. Harvesting of PRP plays a significant role, which is obtained from the patient's blood after centrifugation of the sample i.e., the platelet concentrates above the baseline which is the plasma fraction of the autologous blood. There are many applications of PRP in the medical field and has an incredibly significant role in dermatologic conditions e.g., tissue regeneration, wound healing, scar revision, skin rejuvenation and alopecia. In this review, we will be analyzing the authenticity of the use of PRP in the treatment of alopecia. PRP, in current scenario, is considered as a novel treatment modality. The efficacy of PRP therapy carries some deficiencies, which include lacking standard in preparation and concentration of platelets in PRP.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>

<p>Dermatophytosis, a superficial fungal infection has attained significant extents among Indian population. Its clinical presentation is diverse, often in terms of morphology, severity type and involvement of all age groups. Management of dermatophytosis has become an important public health issue in India. Cases of steroid modified dermatophytosis are being encountered frequently, mostly caused due to the inadvertent use of steroid in combination with topical antifungal agents. This combination is available over the counter and is often used for the management of inflammation and pruritis associated with the disease. Current treatment recommendations must be reviewed as per the current clinical scenario of the disease. Thus, a topical formulation of an anti-itch agent like pramoxine and antifungal agent with an anti-inflammatory property like eberconazole holds a promising treatment approach for dermatophytosis. This article focuses on the challenges encountered in the management of dermatophytosis and strategies for optimizing treatment for better patient outcomes. An expert’s panel discussion was conducted involving fifteen dermatologists all over India, during which modified Delphi method was executed for a set of nine statements. Agreement of more than 75% was set to reach the consensus. This consensus document was developed to review the available evidence and make recommendation based on the expert group’s opinion for the use of pramoxine containing topical formulation of eberconazole, as it provides the benefit of having an anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic activity in a single formulation, where pramoxine can be utilised as an excipient to combat pruritis associated with dermatophytosis.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
