Abstract Iris reticulata is one of the most appreciated flower species, being found in both field crops and greenhouse cultures. Our research has as a major objective the study of the influence of particularities of thermic regime from cold period upon the quality of the bulbs flowering. For planting we used bulbs distributed in three equal batches, for each batch, differentiating the period of cold necessary for the rooting of the bulbs. The cold period was provided in three variants: in the refrigerator (5°C), in a shade which climate similar to the outside (5°C), in the cellar (10°C). The introduction of bulbs planted in the greenhouse for forcing was performed for each of the three batches after 4, 6 and 8 weeks of cold storage. The microscopic preparations show that on begin of cold period all the floral elements are formed inside in the bulb. The best quality of the bulbs flowering was obtained on the variants which cold period occurred on the shade, at °5 C temperature.

Abstract World energy systems development is based on the use of renewable sources, their valorisation benefits of technical and economical stimulating actions. The main disadvantage is related to the low efficiency caused by low energy density and high value investments. The cost of renewable energy is higher than energy coming from conventional sources. Reducing the costs of producing unconventional energy can be achieved by integrating economic and social activities into the system, providing futher benefits. From the potential point of view, it is estimated that biomass occupies the first place in a ranking of unconventional energies. Biomass boosted by anaerobic fermentation with biogas production and cogeneration can provide "peak" energy production and can balance energy systems. Waste utilized by these processes involves reducing environmental impacts by diminushing managed volumes and efficient control. In the present paper are characterized by calculations aspects of the exploitation and elements regarding the optimization of some high-capacity fermenters of a wastewater treatment system.

Abstract Bisphenol A (BPA) is a compound that is released from PET packaging during storage bottled water and can have a harmful effect on human health. This study aimed to investigate the cytotoxic potential of BPA at the Caco-2 cell line. Bottled water samples coming from two companies were analyzed starting from 1 month to 12 months of storage Quantification of BPA in water stored in PET containers was carried out by a spectrometric method. Calibration was performed for BPA concentrations ranging between 0.01 and 0.09 mg/L. Caco-2 cell cultures were treated for 24 hours with different BPA concentrations (from 0.1 mM to 1 mM). Viability and cell cytotoxicity analysis was performed by MTT assay. BPA concentration in one water sample ranged from 0.09 to 0.92 mg/L while for second water sample BPA concentration ranged from 0.03 to 0.73 mg/L. After 10 months from packing, BPA concentration began to exceed the 0.6 mg/L limit stated by Regulation (EU) no. 10/2011. Cell viability decreased in a dose dependent manner and reached the minimum of 3.8% for the 1 mM BPA concentration.

Abstract Anesthetic management of the reptilian patient, including the design of the anesthetic protocol, is a challenge due to multiple anatomical and physiological features. Usually, anesthetic and analgesia protocols, including monitoring techniques, some of which are of low value, established in domestic animals are also applied to these patients. In the study were included five constrictor snakes in which, under xylazine-ketamine-isoflurane anesthesia, various surgical interventions lasting up to 50 minutes were performed. The severity of CNS inhibition as well as the length of different anesthetic times was monitored. The association used ensured the achievement of the surgical anesthesia depth and immobility with optimal conditions for performing surgical interventions in the oral cavity, cutaneous or amputation of hemipenis. The length of induction, surgical anesthesia and recovery fall within the limits recorded in the specialty literature for reptile.

Abstract Nowadays many reports confirmed the effect of different nanoparticles (NPs) on the growth and secondary metabolite production in various microorganisms. Some of them, NPs like Ag, Au and oxides of Al, Ti, Si and Zn have harmful effect on the cells of microorganisms. Iron NPs are expected to be nontoxic, due to using Fe atom in several pathways of cell metabolism and, therefore, low iron toxicity. The use of iron NPs in technologies for remedying polluted environment was caused by their efficiency in reduction reactions, mobility, and high reactivity, due to the high surface area. The present study aims to determine the effect of magnetite (Fe3O4), zero-valent iron Fe(0) NPs, and fluorinated dinitroaniline herbicide trifluralin on growth of mycelial fungi. Fungal strains were isolated from soil long-term polluted with obsolete pesticides, DDT and trifluralin. The inhibition activity of iron NPs and trifluralin was evaluated using express-method. Each fungal strain had an individual reaction to the solutions of iron nanoparticles. At the same time, Fe(0) NPs, as well as magnetite NPs, had a stimulating effect on the formation and maturation of spores of micromycetes. Addition of trifluralin to the culture medium had a growth inhibition effect on micromycetes, but this effect was reduced, when trifluralin was mixed and incubated with iron NPs for 1 hour before.

Abstract Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) used in aquatic research and production are a viable alternative to traditional open-sea mariculture. The rearing of marine living resources in controlled environments is one of NIMRD’s constant concerns. Golden gray mullet Liza aurata (Risso, 1810) is spread in the Mediterranean, Black and Caspian Seas, as well as along the Atlantic coast, and culture in extensive and semi-intensive enclosures has been practiced worldwide for centuries, especially in the Far East and the Mediterranean, reaching a global production of 134,329 tons in 2010. The species’ potential for aquaculture is enhanced by its eurihalyne and eurithermal adaptability, allowing it to grow in a variety of ecosystems. The biological material used for the experiment was represented by golden gray mullet fingerlings fished using the beach seine from the Black Sea. They were monitored for health state, growth rythm (mean length and weight determinations), behavior under RAS conditions, survival rate and overall adaptability. The growth of juveniles after 90 days was 89.2% for total length and 246% for mean biomass. Concerning overall adaptability, after approximately one month, the golden gray mullet individuals fully adapted to rearing in the RAS tanks and handling during measurements. Moreover, the food administered (Skretting Classic K) was easily accepted, active feeding behavior being observed even in the presence of NIMRD’s staff. The fish’s health state was good, with no mortalities caused by infections or parasites. The survival rate upon completion of the two monitoring months was 76.66% (23 of the 30 individuals included in the experiment). The preliminary results obtained showed a good adaptability and a normal growth rate, which makes Liza aurata a potential candidate for aquaculture targeting the national and regional market.

Abstract Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a systemic non-inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology affecting the axial and appendicular skeleton. The disease is characterised by calcification of soft tissues including tendons, joint capsules, and ligamentous attachments to bone. A retrospective radiographic study was conducted to investigate the presence and distribution of the DISH in dogs. For this goal were revised medical records from the radiology service of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Bucharest for dogs that had a radiographic report that described the presence of DISH at spine level. The signalments of all dogs were taken from their medical records. From 531 dogs of 19 breeds, 11 dogs (Cross breed = 3; Rottweiler = 3; Boxer = 2; Golden retriever = 2; German shepherd = 1) were diagnosed with DISH, representing 2.07%. Of these, 5 were females and 6 males, aged between 6 and 15 years (an average of 9.81 years). Following the radiographic evaluation, a total of 74 vertebral segments affected by DISH were identified, and the number of vertebral segments affected per dogs varied between 4 and 10. In all cases, the DISH was accompanied by spondylosis deformans. Although the presence of flowing calcification in the ventral aspects of adjacent vertebral bodies is conclusive for classification as DISH, however it is recommended obtaining supplementation data through modern imaging exams on the vertebral structures.

Abstract The paper presents the level of lead in the liver, gizzard, breast muscles and humerus of game birds, shot during the hunting season of 2016 - 2017 in Bulgaria. In quail gizzards (n=10) radiographic examination showed ingested pellets. In turtle doves (n=10), lead levels in the liver had higher values of 2,501 ± 1,404 mg/kg, compared to the maximum levels of <2 mg/kg. The content of lead in the humerus of partridges (n=10) showed a very high concentrations of 54,241 ± 36,731 mg/kg compared to the base level of 10<20 mg/kg. The high levels of lead in the tissues of the game birds, induced by lead shot exposure, are a significant risk to predators and scavengers.

Abstract This study analyzes the results obtained during the agricultural year 2015-2016 on the PHD thesis research field and was carried out on a series of 6 wheat varieties (Triticum aestivum L.), of which 5 Premium wheat varieties and one Class A variety. The purpose of this research is to stimulate the expansion of Premium wheat varieties surfaces in Romania. Due to the superior quality of the grains (protein> 14.5%) their use in bakery, will reduce the use of synthesis enhancers. The location of the experimental field was carried out in Draganesti-Vlasca area, at SCDA Teleorman. The aim was to establish optimal technology to maximize the quantity and quality of the yield. Given the crop rotation after peas, the behavior of the wheat varieties was observed on different nitrogen doses. There were applied 3 fertilization fractions with nitrogen (N1-N3) and 3 treatments with fungicides (V1-V3). Determinations of the main foliar and spike diseases were made. The correlation between fertilizer and fungicide treatments showed the differences between yield potential and disease tolerance of the analyzed varieties.

The correlation between fertilizer and fungicide treatments showed the differences between yield potential and disease tolerance of the analyzed varieties.","PeriodicalId":6413,"journal":{"name":"“Agriculture for Life, Life for Agriculture” Conference Proceedings","volume":"1 1","pages":"45 - 50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85010088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
