Main pedestrian lines and nodes in urban structures need to be penetrated with water and greenery for the transformation into vital and ecological public spaces. The context of water and greenery provides to public spaces flow of landscape and flow of natural elements through the major arteries and meeting places of the city. Our research on the Danube riverfront in Bratislava and its recreational hinterland focused on implementing greening of the area, the zone in contact with the river, landscape modelling, and ...

The marine storms take place with a relatively high frequency at the Romanian Black Sea coast characterized by an active storm regime, especially in the winter times, when the reported values of wind speed at gust reach 40 m/s, producing the offshore waves high of 5-8 m and even more in the offshore area. Even the frequency of storm surges at the western Black Sea shore is relatively low comparing to other European seas, the North-East occurrence of such storms produces significant exposures. Due to the magnitude ...

The paper investigates the problem of determining the interinfluence of production and injection wells on a single development target. To solve this problem, we develop a stochastic reservoir model, which is a variant of extended Kalman filter. The model is some simplification of the hydrodynamic model. Its purpose is to estimate interwell permeability through production history. We discuss different variants of the model, which vary basing on availability of certain input data. On the baseline, the model can only...

The wind energy is substantially growing in the last decade, but the biggest challenge remains the prediction of the performances of the wind turbines. The increasing energy demand and climate changes forced us to commit quick decisions and to develop efficient solutions. One of the solutions can be repowering and significant changes in transmission systems to deliver it through the electric grid. Fantanele Cogealac is the largest onshore wind farm in Romania. The wind farm exist since 2012, so in at least 10 year...

Zein proteins belong to the class of prolamin proteins which, in maize, represent more than 60% of the total endosperm protein. Based on their molecular weight, sequence and solubility, zeins are classified into four different zein structures (?, ?, ?, ?). The major maize seed storage proteins, zeins, are deficient in lysine and tryptophan content, which contribute to the poor nutritional quality of corn. Therefore, we report here on an original and novel process, which consists in successive grinding and sieving ...
