The increasing amounts of agro-food waste generated globally represent a major challenge for environmental protection and sustainable development. Among these, onion peels resulting from processing, storage, and commercialization constitute an important source of bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, polyphenols, quercetin, and sulfur-containing compounds, with high potential for valorization in the field of green nanotechnologies. The study aims to valorize the extract obtained from onion peels in the green syn...

Quince (Cydonia oblonga) is a fruit of notable nutritional and therapeutic value, largely due to its high content of bioactive compounds. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of the nutritional composition, antioxidant capacity, and polyphenolic profile of quince fruits Through standardized and rigorous physico-chemical analyses, the fruit was shown to possess a complex nutritional profile, with a particularly high concentration of vitamin C. Additionally, quince exhibited strong antioxidant activity, wh...

In Romania, Cirsium arvense (creeping thistle) has a high incidence in agricultural crops, approximately 70%, the development being largely influenced by climate but also by the inadequate technologies practiced. This study is an overview of the integrated management of the perennial weed Cirsium arvense in Romania. Therefore, it was done a review of the studies published in Romania, in order to highlight the predominant methods and whether or not cultural and biological measures are used. The methods used were bi...

Tomatoes (Solanum Lycopersicum) are fruits rich in bioactive substances, especially compounds with antioxidant characteristics. Tomato fruits are a source of vitamin C, having beneficial properties for health. Current indications lead us to the conclusion that tomato fruits are potential candidates for the study of bioactivity, as well as for functionally developed fruits. The activity of these bioactive compounds is to combat the activity of free radicals. Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable crop in the world...

The purpose of the paper is to perform a topographic lifting and traction of an architectural project for the execution of a Tyrolean that is arranged on various relief forms, in a hilly area, halfway between Timisoara and Lugoj, Timis County, Romania. The development of an adventure park in an area so close to urban settlements has a great impact on the public of all age categories. Children are the main beneficiaries of such objectives because they test their minds and, at the same time, implement an active and ...

Promoting sustainable use of groundwater based on reducing pollution and on preventing later pollution is a basic desideratum of the Water Law No. 107/1996 with later additions and alterations and of the Directive 60/2000/EC in the field of water issued by the European Parliament. Water resources are a source of normal economic development: they ensure nature balance and life continuity and this is why we need to rationally use them during both normal and crisis periods (e.g., drought). Ground waters are an ecolog...
