MODERN MANAGEMENT METHODS FOR MANAGING THE WASTE WATER AND RECOVERING THE HEAT FROM WASTE WATER

The management of waste water had become a real issue for the EU in the last years.Specialists have been trying to conceive a way to address all the processes and to optimise it. For thewaste water the concept is known as Waste Water Management featuring high originality and bringsnew ways to build, maintain, supervise and repair the sewage. Also, it is a fact that the watertemperature in the sewage is varying from 8 to 18 degrees. The solution for using this heat is to put onthe sewage pipes heat exchangers able to recover a certain amount of heat. Therm Liner is easy toapply and less costing comparing with other methods. Our challenge was to reduce the heating costsfor an apartment building cluster in Pitesti. Because the cluster is heated by a few fairly new heatingplants, our idea was to supply the heating plants with warm water. Warming the water will be doneusing a mix of technologies leading to a significant cost reduction and a world première.management; waste water; methods

ENSURING THE QUALITY OF SERVICES BY MAKING COSTS EFFECTIVE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF RURAL TOURIST BOARDING HOUSES

Lately, the number of the rural boarding houses has grown considerably,the researches registering a progressive evolution. The latest official records provided bythe National Institute of Statistics were made in 2007 and they show the considerablenumeric growth of the people that have appealed to this kind of host functioningstructure. Official data regarding the number of boarding houses existing in our countryhave not been reported by the authorities in this sector.The quality costs represent an important quality valorizing instrument, a potential sourcefor maximizing the profit of any economic unit. They are used by more and more entitiesas a tool for the optimization of processes and activities which are relevant to quality.Through these costs it is likely to identify ineffective activities, the critical points in thedevelopment process. Thus, the corrective actions or for improvement needed in aparticular sector could be substantiated, ensuring the dynamic follow-up assessment andthe effectiveness of measures taken. This is perfectly applicable in the rural tourismsector.quality, services, costs, rural sector

USING THE INNOVATIVE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS IN THE COMPANIES MANAGEMENT

In a market economy that constantly changes, companies are constrained to adopt efficient solutions to facilitate the achievement of the medium and long term objectives and also to run faster management processes. One of the most efficient methods in this direction is the usage of "innovative products". Those products are distinguished by the high degree of originality and innovation, providing thus a more dynamic framework in management decisions. In order for the usage of innovative products to become successful, they must reach certain stages related to: development of a strategy for creating a new innovative product; valorization of the internal resources of a company regarding the innovation; creating and launching the innovative product on market; engrossment of new market segments. This paper focuses on software-based products which facilitates making management decision based on obtained high utility data and information. The product that we refer to is an ERP software (Enterprise Resource Planner) adapted to agricultural entrepreneurs. The product has a high degree of inoovation and aplicability

Electrical Conductivity and Optical Properties of Pulsed Laser Deposited LaNi5 Nanoscale Films

This work presents pulsed laser deposition as a method to obtain unoxidized LaNi5 nanoscale films and describes their temperature and thickness dependent electrical conductivity and the spectral dispersions of some optical properties. AB5-type rare earth element (REE)-nickel compounds are currently studied from both theoretical and practical points of view. Special challenges are posed during the preparation of these nanomaterials, which can be overcome using finely tuned parameters in a preparation process that always involves the use of high energies. Film deposition was made by laser—induced vaporization, with short and modulated impulses and electro–optical tuning of the quality factor, mainly on glass and one SiO2 substrate. Deposition geometry dependent linear thickness increase, between 1.5–2.5 nm per laser burst, was achieved. Film structures and phase compositions were determined using XRD and discussed in comparison with films obtained by similar deposition procedures. Temperature and scale dependent properties were determined by studying electrical conductivity and optical properties. Electrical conductivity was measured using the four-probe method. The observed semiconductor-like conductivity for film thicknesses up to 110 nm can be explained by thermal activation of electrons followed by inter-insular hopping or quantum tunneling, which, on the other hand, modulates the material’s native metallic conductance. Films with thicknesses above this value can be considered essentially metallic and bulk-like. The spectral behaviors of the refractive index and absorption coefficient were deduced from differential reflectance spectroscopy data acquired on a broad ultraviolet, visible, near- and mid-infrared (UV-VIS-NIR-MIR) domain, processed using the Kramers-Krönig formalism. Their study led to the identification of the allowed interband transitions. Electronic behavior in the energy bands near the Fermi level and in the surface and interface-states was described, discussing the differences between experimental data and the classical free-electron theoretical model applied for the bulk intermetallic alloy, in correlation with theoretical optical properties or experimental X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results from references. However, the dielectric-like shape of the reflectance of the thinnest film was in accordance with the Lorentz–Drude model

Anatomic All-Inside Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using the TransLateral Technique

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a commonly performed procedure and considered to be the gold standard in restoring knee function and stability in ACL-deficient knees. The TransLateral all-inside technique implies the use of only two portals – anterolateral and anteromedial, without the use of an accessory portal. The work is done using the lateral portal, while the medial portal serves as a viewing site. Only a few studies have been published regarding the assessment of the functional and clinical outcomes of this novel technique
