Heron's fountain demonstrator
Andrei-Mugur Georgescu, Sanda-Carmen Georgescu, Liviu Stroia

Heron's fountain has been described by Heron of Alexandria in his treatise "The Pneumatics". In antiquity, scientists didn't state physical principles governing fluid motion as we do now, but they understood how things worked. We found similarities between Heron's fountain and some modern systems. Heron's original design was modified to make those similarities more obvious, and allow a more continuous use of the fountain. In this paper, we will focus on an experimental setup, which exemplifies the principles of non-isothermal flow in central heating systems.

The impact of road transport on the environment
Elena Otilia Pirlea, Alina Burlacu

Transports play an essential function for the socio-economic development of a region or country. The transport not only provides access to jobs or leisure, housing, goods and services to residents, but it also facilitates relations between countries. The impact of the road transport on the environment is highlighted on the level of all environmental factors through: traffic congestion and accidents; air pollution; noise and vibrations - at the major intersections along roads, near transport nodes; soil and water pollution; occupation of land in urban areas for parking areas; changing eco-urban landscape; production of solid waste (tires, accumulators etc.).

A new approach to teach mathematics for engineers (1). Numerical sets
Rodica-Mihaela Danet, Marian-Valentin Popescu, Iuliana Popescu, Nicoleta Popescu

This paper is the first in a series in which the authors propose to change the face of teaching mathematics in a technical university, especially for first year students who are preparing to become civil engineers. The paper refers to the teaching of concepts related to some sets of real numbers. The main idea is that the exposure rigorous, technique, specific to teach mathematics in a college math is completed by an informal exposure. Thus the authors add historical information, find motivations of the subject discussed, present some applications, mainly in engineering, and states open problems of the field. So, exposure becomes more accessible. Another idea is that even the exposure technique is not usual, the authors preferring gradual exposure, instead of traditional. Also the authors present some computer programs related to the subject and an application in engineering.

Imbunatatirea calitatii apei in statiile de tratare cu captare din sursele de suprafata
Improving water quality in water treatment plants with surface water sources
Ion Oprea

Calitatea apei din sursele de suprafata difera de calitatea impusa apei potabile, motivele fiind numarul microorganismelor daunatoare sanatatii (bacterii,virusuri), turbiditatea, etc. Apa bruta trebuie tratata astfel incat sa corespunda din punct de vedere organoleptic, fizico-chimic si bacteriologic. Probele de apa recoltate au fost analizate in cadrul unor cercetari experimentale (4 cicluri experimentale) efectuate pe instalatia pilot, in vederea stabilirii eficientelor de reducere a indicatorilor urmariti: turbiditate, carbon organic total, substante organice, pH. Astfel, la intervale de 1 ora, s-au efectuat analize pentru urmatoarele tipuri de apa: apa decantata, apa filtrata rapid pe nisip, apa filtrata pe carbune activ granular.

The quality of water from surface sources is different from the imposed quality on drinking water, the reasons being the number of harmful microorganisms (bacteria, viruses), turbidity, etc. The raw water is treated to correspond from the organoleptic, physico-chemical and bacteriological point of view. Water samples were analyzed in the context of experimental research (four experimental cycles) performed on the pilot plant in order to establish the reduction efficiency of the targeted indicators: turbidity, total organic carbon, organic matter, pH. Thus, every hour, analyses were performed for the following types of water: settled water, water filtered through rapid sand, granular activated carbon filtered water.

Strategii si concepte noi in educarea si formarea adultilor
Strategies and concepts in adult education and training
Nicolae Postavaru

Totul pleaca de la cateva probleme sociale care trebuie sa nu devina acute fiindca nu se stie cum mai pot fi tinute in frau daca se depaseste masa critica; 1. Europa nu mai are productie pentru toti locuitorii sai, la care se adauga imbatranirea populatiei si cresterea cheltuielilor sociale; 2. Europa are un nivel de somaj care era de neconceput in anii 90', adica peste 10 % chiar 12 %. Avem o rata a somajului: - in randul tinerilor mai mare de 20%; Spania 50%, Grecia 30%, Italia 20%; Avem locuri de munca neocupate: - peste 2 milioane dintre care peste 500 000 in IT. De aici schimbarea paradigmei din "Scoala comanda" in "Piata comanda". Cine va intelege aceasta schimbare va face fata viitorului apropiat, vorbim din punct de vedere politic. A da alegatorilor tai un loc de munca va fi deviza anilor 20.

It starts from some social problems should not become acute because no one knows what can be kept in check if it exceeds the critical mass; 1. European production does not have all its inhabitants, plus an aging population and increasing social spending; 2. Has a high unemployment Europe that was unimaginable in the 90's, over 10% even 12%. We have an unemployment rate: - Youth greater than 20%; 50% Spain, Greece, 30%, 20% Italy; We have jobs available: - More than 2 million of which over 500 000 IT. Hence changing the paradigm of "control school" to "market order". Who will understand this change will face near future, the political talk. To give your job the voters will be the motto of the '20s.
