BLUETOOTH APPLICATION FOR TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY CONTROL

The paper presents an application that involves the real-time acquisition of two quantities: humidity and temperature; displaying them on a high-resolution OLED screen; activation of a cooling fan when the set temperature value is exceeded; the possibility of setting the reference temperature value through the Android/iOS mobile application, which communicates with the installation via Bluetooth. To create the application, programming algorithms are used that read these quantities in real time using the DTH 11 sensor, an Arduino Uno development board equipped with the Atmega328 microcontroller, using digital and analog pins. Information is displayed on a high-resolution colour OLED screen attached to the Arduino board. From the created mobile Android application, the temperature value to be compared can be set and an LED for ON/OFF status can be ordered

Improving the Content of Chemical Elements from the Soil of Waste Heaps Influenced by Forest Vegetation—A Case Study of Moldova Nouă Waste Heaps, South-West Romania

The present article emphasizes the influence of forest vegetation on improving the content of toxic elements from soil, increasing the content of micro and macro elements as well as correlating these variations with characteristics of forest vegetation from the studied areas—Moldova Nouă waste heaps, South-West Romania. The research involved comparing and observing the differences in the content of micro, macro, and toxic elements (Fe, Pb, Zn, and Cd) between the soil of waste heaps from Moldova Nouă from areas with forest vegetation and the content of these elements analyzed 31 years ago during the projection of afforestation works, when forest vegetation was missing. The differences were correlated with stand characteristics of forest vegetation. We observed a significant increase for Fe and a significant decrease for Zn and Cd. The influence of forest vegetation of the variation on the soil’s chemical composition was studied for the chemical elements that previously showed significant differences (Fe, Zn, and Cd). The averages of the statistically significant differences for the concentration of each analyzed element (Fe, Zn, and Cd) were correlated with the characteristics of the stands from the studied sampling points. The variation in time for Fe, Zn, and Cd and actual content of P, Cu, Mg were correlated especially with the average height of trees
