Abstract:Under the circumstances of the deficit in total energetic resources of the Republic of Moldova, non-traditional sources as wind,solar and hydraulic energies are very opportune. Concurrently with the conventional energy resources (fossil fuels, atomic energyetc.), wind energy begins to regain its positions not only from ecological, but also from economical point of view. Also, the windenergy conversion systems could play a significant role in the production of mechanical, electrical ener...

Abstract:Under the circumstances of the total energetic recourses deficit in the Republic of Moldova appears the problem of non-traditionalsources utilization. An important source of renewable energy is the wind energy. This paper deals with two new concepts ofvertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with helical blades, elaborated by the authors.The main element of the wind turbine is, certainly, the rotor. It is directly subdued to the action of the air flow and transforms thekinetic energy of the ai...

Abstract: The paper focuses on eutrophication due to nutrients load into a reservoir. A thermally stratified reservoir water body is divided in vertical layers and horizontal zones according to water temperature and depth. The layers show different compositions of limiting nutrient because of the density of flow and due to inhabitants on the bottom of the reservoir exposed to sunlight. The bioassay for algal growth potential test (AGPT) is the most direct and effective way to determine a limitin...

AbstractThe present study is aimed at a long-term treatment performance of a constructed wetland with horizontal subsurface flow atJimlíkov, Czech Republic. The system was put in operation in 1993 and the treatment performance is evaluated for the period1998-2009 due to non-existence of results from the beginning of operation. The parameters of concern were BOD5 (biochemicaloxygen demand), COD (chemical oxygen demand), TSS (total suspended solids), NH4-N (ammonia-N) and TP (totalphosphorus). A t...

AbstractEvery year during the winter season, several regions of Guinea (Conakry) are damaged, and losses due to flooding are recorded.This problem is the result of an increase of the sea waters level firstly, and the flooding of coastal rivers on the other hand. So themeasure of water levels and the mapping of flood areas using geographical information systems became essential for civilprotection. The present article investigates the alternatives to delineate those areas, on the basis of the res...

Weakly acidic Litavka and alkaline Malín soils are some of the most contaminated soils by multiple risk elements in the Czech Republic. The aim of this paper was to determine the effect of P sources (rock phosphate, superphosphate), each applied at three rates on the mobility of risk elements (Cd, Zn, Pb, As) and micronutrients (Fe, Mn) in soils and to compare their effectiveness with lime and dolomite tested in our previous study. In 7, 14, 28, and 42 days, we determined CaCl2-extractabl...

This work focuses on the analysis of material composition of mixed municipal solid waste (MSW) in the city of Košice, the second largest city in Slovakia, and in the village of Poproč, which is representative of the region. The paper describes the characteristics of the monitored localities, the methodology and the original evaluation procedure. The analysis of the mixed MSW composition in Poproč was performed in 2009-2010, and in Košice in 2011. In both cases, the analys...

Tobacco is one of the most important agricultural products in the Republic of Macedonia. Elemental composition of tobacco and soil from different agricultural areas was studied for monitoring purposes. The main purpose was to determine the intensity of accumulation of various elements in tobacco plants and to determine possible relationships between certain chemical and physical properties of soils (pH, clay, cation exchange capacity - CEC, organic matters - OM and total organic carbon - TOC). T...

Within this study a total content of 20 elements was determined in 25 soil samples taken from the vicinity of the "Buchim" mine, Republic of Macedonia, covering an area of 14.2 km2. The results have been compared to new Dutchlist and NOAA standards and it was concluded that the content of As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in most of the samples is over the corresponding optimal or action values probably due to the anthropogenic activities. Thus As values ranged 13.1-225 mg kg-1 with 20 above the o...

The paper presents the development of a Flood Index (FI) based on the flood hydrograph characteristics, namely flood magnitude ratio, rising curve gradient and time to peak. These characteristic values are normalized to their respective values corresponding to a 100-year flood. The methodology developed to compute FI is applied to three case studies; Kentucky in USA, Oc-gok in the Republic of Korea and Haor in Bangladesh. The obtained results show advantages of the presented methodology over ...
