Winter Presence of Long-Legged Buzzard (Buteo Rufinus) in Moldova (Romania)
Authors: Baltag Emanuel Ștefan , Pocora Viorel , Ion Constantin , Sfîcă Lucian 
Published: April 2013

Abstract
Long-legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus) is a medium sized bird of prey which is known as a breeding species for Romania. In the last years it started to become a common wintering presence in the south-eastern part of Romania (Dobrogea) but it was also recorded in the more northern areas (Moldova) during the cold season. Its presence in Moldova, during the winter period, was recorded in large river valleys, with agricultural lands or grasslands and with trees or timber poles, which are used for perching. Long-legged Buzzard is a new presence for Moldavian winter seasons and it could be observed only in warm periods of winter, when the daily mean temperature is above 0°C. The wintering places are maintained not only for all winter period, but also for the next years. This behaviour could be explained by its territorial fidelity, which was recorded also in other European buzzard species during the winter period.

Published: April 2013

Abstract
The aim of the investigation was to define the extend of pedogenethic processes by analysis of colour changes in groundmass of each genetic horizon. The object of the research were Chromic soils developed from red deposits of Lower Triassic (Buntsandstein) in the Holy Cross Mountains. Micromorphological studies were made with polarization microscopes Olympus BX- 41 and Olympus SZX-10. Image analysis was conducted with software program AxioVision 4.5 with Auto Measure module. The application of advanced methods of digital data analysis allowed for the quantitative compilation of measurement figures in thin sections. On the basis of micromorphometrical data designated objective numerical indicators, which allowed comparison groundmass color between each genetic horizon. Statistical analysis by ANOVA test confirm that groundmass color measured in RGB scale in investigated horizons are almost the same. Obtained results evidence that characteristic red color of soil substrate in analyzed soils developed from Lower Triassic rocks originated from the bedrock color. This fact indicates low extent of the pedogenic processes.

Published: April 2013

Abstract
Drugs have often been implicated as the cause of pemphigus. Lisinopril is a drug of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor class primarily used in the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure, heart attacks, and also in preventing renal and retinal complications of diabetes mellitus. Various side-effects have been described in the English medical literature related to lisinopril, but only one case with pemphigus foliaceus as an adverse reaction to lisinopril. To the best of our knowledge, we present the second case of lisinopril-induced pemphigus foliaceus complicated with Kaposi-Juliusberg varicelliform eruption in a patient diabetes mellitus type II.
A 60-year-old man presented with diffuse erythema on the face, trunk and extremities. Disseminated erosions, 2-5 mm in diameter, and umbilicated vesicles were present. Erosions with remnants of the blister roof were partially found on the trunk. Semiannular erosions were present. On the posterior part of the trunk (paravertebral and vertebral) there were inifiltrated, partially grouped, sharply delineated yellowish-reddish plaques, up to 2 cm in diameter. Direct and indirect immunofluorescence test as well as histological analysis revealed a drug-induced pemphigus foliaceus. After treatment of Kaposi-Juliusberg eruption and impetiginization, lisinopril was discontinued. Rapid involution of the skin lesions, was observed. Since, only minor skin lesions still persisted after 6 months of follow-up and treatment, the diagnosis of druginduced pemphigus foliaceus was established.
It usually takes 1 - 6 months for angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors to induce pemphigus. All drugs taken by the patient, including homeopathic agents, over-the-counter drugs, and even medications that were discontinued should be taken into consideration. Medical history taking should be repeated in cases where there is no response to therapy.

Published: April 2013

Abstract
In the early 19th century, after several centuries of slavery, Serbia was liberated and along with the overall organization of the country, health services were formed. The first specialists appeared at the end of the century, among them our first dermatovenereologist, Dr. Jevrem Žujović. He was born in 1860 in Belgrade. He attended high school in Belgrade and in 1885 he graduated from School of Medicine in Paris. Dr. Žujović specialized in dermatovenereology in Paris, with Prof. Fournier as his mentor. He was the first Head of the Department of Skin Diseases and Syphilis at the General Public Hospital since 1889. He organized specialized services all over Serbia. His activity in the work of the Serbian Medical Society was very appreciated. Dr. Žujović studied endemic syphilis and leprosy, and translated A. Fournier’s book “Syphilis and Marriage”, and Loraine’s “Prostitution and Degeneration”. Together with M. Jovanović-Batut, he wrote “Instructions on Syphilis”.
As an Army Medical Officer, Dr. Žujović participated in the Serbo-Bulgarian war (1885), the First and the Second Balkan War and in the First World War (1912 - 1918). He was the vice-president of the Society of the Red Cross of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and the first president of the newly-founded Association of Dermatovenereologists of Yugoslavia. He was a recipient of many awards and decorations. Jevrem Žujović retired in 1927, and passed away in 1944.

Authors: Agarwal Praveen 
Published: April 2013

Abstract
Motivated by resent work of Agarwal [1], the author is establish the new theorem associated with the H - function (Generalized Mellin-Barnes type of Contour Integral), which was introduced and study in a series of papers by by Inayat -Hussain ([12], [13]).Theorem involves a product of the H -function, Generalized hypergeometric functions and Srivastava polynomials. The convergence and existence condition, basic properties of H -function were given by Buschman and Srivastava ([7]). Next, we obtain certain new integrals by the application of our theorem. These results, besides being of very general character have been put in a compact form avoiding the occurrence of infinite series and thus making them useful in applications. Our findings provide interesting unifications and extensions of a number of new results.
Sequences of Inequalities Among Differences of Gini Means and Divergence Measures
Authors: Taneja Inder J. 
Published: April 2013

Abstract
In 1938, Gini [3] studied a mean having two parameters. Later, many authors studied properties of this mean. In particular, it contains the famous means as harmonic, geometric, arithmetic, etc. Here we considered a sequence of inequalities arising due to particular values of each parameter of Gini’s mean. This sequence generates many nonnegative differences. Not all of them are convex. We have established new sequences of inequalities of these differences. Some refinement inequalities are also presented. Considering in terms of probability distributions these differences, we have made connections with some well known divergence measures.

Published: April 2013

Abstract
Pollution of the environment components in many cases presents unacceptable risks to human health and the environment. Risk analysis is one of the tools which help to find a socially acceptable level of the environmental quality. Evaluation of the environmental impacts can be the base for the optimal spatial arrangement and functional use of territory - landscape optimization. In Slovakia, LANDEP methodology based on the principles of sustainable development, is very often used for landscape planning. The paper deals with environmental risk assessment of components of environment (air, water, soil, waste, etc.). The results are used as a base for design of the optimal spatial setting and functional utilization of the land - landscape optimization.

Abstract
Limitation of bridge’s carrying bearing capacity due to aging and deterioration is a common problem faced by road administration and drivers. Rehabilitation of bridges including strengthening may be applied in order to maintain or upgrade existing bridge parameters. The case studies of strengthening of two small bridges with high modulus prestressed CFRP strips have been presented in the paper. The first one - reinforced concrete slab bridge - and the other - composite steel-concrete girder bridge - have been successfully upgraded with quite new technology. In both cases the additional CFRP reinforcement let increasing of bridge carrying capacity from 15 till 40 metric tons. The CFRP strip prestressing system named Neoxe Prestressing System (NPS), developed by multi-disciplinary team and tested at full scale in Rzeszow University of Technology, has been also described in the paper.
The Role of Forests in Mitigating Climate Change – a Case Study for Europe
Authors: Gálos Borbála , Hänsler Andreas , Kindermann Georg , Rechid Diana , Sieck Kevin , Jacob Daniela 
Published: April 2013

Abstract
- A regional-scale case study has been carried out to assess the possible climatic benefits of forest cover increase in Europe. For the end of the 21st century (2071-2090) it has been investigated, whether the projected climate change could be reduced assuming potential afforestation of the continent. The magnitude of the biogeophysical effects of enhanced forest cover on temperature and precipitation means and extremes have been analyzed relative to the magnitude of the climate change signal applying the regional climate model REMO. The simulation results indicate that in the largest part of the temperate zone potential afforestation may reduce the projected climate change through cooler and moister conditions, thus could contribute to the mitigation of the projected climate change for the entire summer period. The largest relative effect of forest cover increase can be expected in northern Germany, Poland and Ukraine. Here, the projected precipitation decrease could be fully compensated, the temperature increase could be relieved by up to 0.5 °C, and the probability of extremely warm and dry days could be reduced. Results can help to identify the areas, where forest cover increase could be the most effective from climatic point of view. Thus they can build an important basis of the future adaptation strategies and forest policy.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of life of patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament single-bundle reconstruction (ACLR) which involves reconstructing the ligament using autologous graft (semitendinosus and gracilis tendon). This is a retrospective study undertaken between the 1st of January 2010 and December 31, 2011 at the Clinic of Orthopedics and Traumatology Tîrgu-Mureş, involving 30 patients (6 women, 24 men), 17 to 54 years old (mean age of 30.13 years). All the patients underwent ACLR, with the above mentioned technique. The instrument chosen to assess the quality of life was the Short-Form 36 (SF-36) Questionnaire, completed by telephone. This questionnaire has 8 scales which are noted according to the received answers: Physical Functioning (PF), RF (Role Physical), BP (Bodily Pain), GH (General Health), VT (Vitality), SF (Social Functioning), RE (Role Emotional) and MH (Mental Health). The best way to score these scales is by comparing them to the healthy population, which is why this study uses normbased scales where the mean value is 50 and the standard deviation is 10. The scales used in the questionnaire are showed the next results: mean norm-based PF 49.19, RF 46.11, BP 49.82, GH 52.19, VT 52.14, SF 50.43, RE 41.36 and MH 47.18. The general Physical Component showed a mean of 48.93 and the Mental Component a mean of 47.33, close to the standard mean of 50. All these results were included in the standard deviation, which showed that the patients’ quality of life was very close to the quality of life of the normal population. Patients who have a history of ACLR tend to have a quality of life similar to the normal, healthy population.

Published: April 2013

Abstract
Our results were obtained on a total of 101 cases and the presence of the colosigmoid trunk was encountered in 54.46% of cases, with seven types of branching variation. We were able to compare our results with those of Lippert, noticing that the classical anatomy only mentions (without details) the presence of the colosigmoid trunk, while other authors do not even mention it. The anatomical variations of the colosigmoid arterial trunk are: 1. from the colosigmoid trunk originate the left colic artery and a sigmoid trunk that gives origin to all three sigmoid arteries (14.85% of cases); 2. from the colosigmoid trunk originate the left colic and the superior sigmoid arteries (18.81% of cases); 3. from the colosigmoid trunk originate the left colic artery and a sigmoid trunk that give origin to two sigmoid arteries, superior and inferior, an aspect found in 4.95% of cases; 4. a colosigmoid trunk that give rise to the inferior sigmoid artery and to a lower trunk that give the left colic artery and the superior sigmoid artery (5.94% of cases); 5. a colosigmoid trunk that give origin to the left colic, middle colic and superior sigmoid arteries in 5.94% of cases; 6. a colosigmoid trunk that splits into a colic branch which further gives origin to the left and middle colic arteries and into a sigmoid branch that will give the superior and inferior sigmoid arteries (1.98% of cases); 7. a colosigmoid trunk that gives origin to the middle colic artery (for the transverse colon), to the left colic and superior sigmoid arteries (1.98% of cases).
Clinical assessments on the dento-maxillary anomalies
Authors: Mocanu S. , Bordei P. , Ionescu C. , Iliescu D.M. 
Published: April 2013

Abstract
The dento-maxillary anomalies, through their
characteristics, ie widespread population mass, the
impact that occurs at a personal level and in society
and the etiological factors, have become a public health
problem, ranking first in dental diseases, prior to dental
caries and periodontitis. The prevalence of the dentomaxillary
anomalies vary by study population, age
group, geographical environment, socio-economic
factors and the historical moment of the research. This
clinical study was conducted over a period of five years,
from 2006 to 2011, on a number of 320 study models,
for diagnosis and treatment strategies. The study
allowed the assessment of increasing trends of dentomaxillary
anomalies, with a frequency of 44% in large
cities, while in subjects with caries and periodontitis, the
index is 41%. The large percentage differences reported
between some authors are mainly due to patients, but
also to different research methods, doctors training
and errors of interpretation. The orthodontic treatment
should answer to the expectations of the patient, thus to
restore the morpho-functional integrity and the dentomaxillary
functions, with minimal biological sacrifice.

Published: April 2013

Abstract
Lipids and fatty acids (FA) composition of three Black Sea macroalgae Cladophora vagabunda,Ceramium rubrum and Cystoseira barbata were studied. Fatty acids composition was analyzed by GC/MS. Total lipids content varied widely among the species and ranged between 0.66 and 0.98 g per 100 g fresh weight. Generally, saturated fatty acids were major components (62-71%), with 16:0 as the most abundant saturate (41- 57%). Total polyunsaturated FAs and monounsaturated FAs ranged from 28% to 38%. The green alga Cladophora vagabunda showed higher C18 PUFAs contents than did C20 PUFAs while for red alga Ceramiumrubrum the trend was opposite. Cystoseira barbata belonging to the group of brown algae showed similar amounts of C18 and C20 PUFAs contents. Cladophora vagabunda was rich in linoleic acid and Ceramiumrubrum in arachidonic acid (AA) while Cystoseira barbata was rich in both linoleic acid and eicosopentaenoic acid. All of the studied species had a nutritionally beneficial n6/n3 ratio (1.24-2.84:1).

Authors: Vamanu Emanuel 
Published: April 2013

AbstractThe antioxidant action of ethanolic extract from Agaricus bisporus which is available in thesupermarkets of Bucharest, Romania, was assessed by determining its reducing power and its radical scavenging activity. The determinations were made by analyzing the freeze-dried ethanolic extract. The radical scavenging activity was determined using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide radical, nitric oxide radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assays. Total phenols, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, β-carotene and lycopene were also determined. The ethanolic extract from A. bisporus could be a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial source against the tested organisms, as demonstrated by the minimum inhibitory concentration values.
Transport and separation through bulk liquid membrane of some biologic active compounds
Authors: Zaharia Ionut , Diaconu Ioana , Ruse Elena , Nechifor Gheorghe 
Published: April 2013

AbstractTransport through liquid membranes of various chemical species is a viable method for different applications in analytical or technological domain. This paper presents the transport and separation results of two compounds of pharmaceutical importance: salicylic acid and aspirin, using bulk liquid membrane technique. We studied the effect of the feed source and receiving phase pH on the transport efficiency of the two compounds throught chloroform membrane. These results were correlated with speciation diagrams of salicylic acid and aspirin. The speciation diagrams shows that in these pH conditions, for aqueous phase of the membrane system, the two compounds are mostly undissociated form and therefore active for transport. In this system it can be achieve separation of the two compounds, salicylic acid and aspirin, using a suitable complexing agent in the feed source such as Fe3+. In this way salicylic acid forms an inactive complex structure for transport while aspirin crosses the membrane and it is recovered in a percentage of 80% in the receiving phase membrane system.

Abstract
3,6-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno [3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-9-tosyl-9H-carbazole (EDOTTsCz) was synthesized and electrochemically polymerized on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in 0.1 M tetrabutyl ammonium tetrafluoroborate (NB4BF4)/acetonitrile (CH3CN). Alternating copolymer was formed by CV method. Modified polymer electrode was characterized by Fourier transform Infrared Spectroscopy-Attenuated Transmission Reflectance (FTIR-ATR), Cyclic voltammetry (CV), Scanning electron microscopy-Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDX), Atomic force microscope (AFM) and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Capacitive behaviors of the modified GCE were defined via Nyquist, Bode-magnitude, Bode-phase and Capacitance plots. A modified copolymer electrode provides enhanced capacitance evaluation, which may results in performance in energy storage devices.
