Subclasses of meromorphically multivalent functions defined by a differential operator
In this paper we introduce and study two new subclasses \Sigma_{\lambda\mu
mp}(\alpha,\beta)\Sigma^{+}_{\lambda\mu mp}(\alpha,\beta)%
(n,\delta)-$neighborhoods of analytic functions to these subclasses of
meromorphically multivalent functions
Competentele si capacitatile de imputemicire pe care le dezvolta mediatorul scolar
The article explores the ways in which the school mediator succeeds or fails in his or her work in Bucharest. The author has looked into all aspects of the school mediator's work, drawing not only on the mediator's job description but also on real insights from the field, namely the schools and communities in which mediators work and the NGOs with which they cooperate

VIDEO TRACKING USING ACOUSTIC TRIANGULATION
This study focuses on the detection and triangulation of sound sources. Specifically, we focus on the detection of sound in order to track a person’s position with a video camera. Acoustic tracking, an alternative to visual tracking, is relatively inexpensive, passive (does not emit energy), and effective in low lighting environments [3]. Our project is broken into two major aspects: accurately discerning input as opposed to background noise and the localization of the sound source. In order to focus on the input signal, we analyze two methods: time averaging and impulse culling. After the sound is analyzed and filtered we focus on the triangulation of the source in 2-D space using direct and estimation techniques requiring three microphones. This process is geared towards finding a compromise between performance and complexity which allows implementation on a standard micro-controller
Dimmable Electronic Ballast for a Gas Discharge Lamp
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is the most efficient photocatalyst for organic oxidative degradation. TiO2 is effective not only in aqueous solution, but also in nonaqueous solvents and in the gas phase. It is photostable, biologically and chemically inert, and non-toxic. Low-energy UV light (approximately 375 nm, UV-A) can be used to photoactivate TiO2. TiO2 photocatalysis has been used to mineralize most types of organic compounds. Also, TiO2 photocatalysis has been effectively used in sterilization. This effectiveness has been demonstrated by its aggressive destruction of microorganisms, and aggressive oxidation effects of toxins. It also has been used for the oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, and ammonia to nitrogen. Despite having many attractive features, advanced photocatalytic oxidation processes have not been effectively used for air cleaning. One of the limitations of the traditional photocatalytic systems is the ballast that powers (lights) the bulbs. Almost all commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) ballasts are not dimmable and do not contain safety features. COTS ballasts light the UV lamp as bright as the bulb can be lit, and this results in shorter bulb lifetime and maximal power consumption. COTS magnetic ballasts are bulky, heavy, and inefficient. Several iterations of dimmable electronic ballasts have been developed. Some manifestations have safety features such as broken-bulb or over-temperature warnings, replace-bulb alert, logbulb operational hours, etc. Several electronic ballast boards capable of independently lighting and controlling (dimming) four fluorescent (UV light) bulbs were designed, fabricated, and tested. Because of the variation in the market bulb parameters, the ballast boards were designed with a very broad range output. The ballast boards can measure and control the current (power) for each channel
EUROPE OF OR WITH REGIONS: REGIONALISM IN ROMANIA
The scope of this paper is to examine Romania in the larger context of the Council of Europe and EU regional, trans-frontier and cross-border cooperation. The research will be divided into three main parts: it will begin from the national level and will then expand into the Council of Europe and EU levels. The paper will dive into issues of local structure, financial and administrative powers, controversies and cooperation projects. The conclusions will attempt to draw a comparison – in terms of attributes, structures and goals – between the two systems and to depict the image of Romania’s failures and successes
