The long term objective of Romanian economy is that of putting the bases of a real market economy, which will integrate in the structures of the European Union and will respect the Community provisions. This way, even for the industry production sector from the zoo-technical domain, reaching of this objective means the endowment with modern, efficient equipment, with a higher level of mechanization, automation and computerization, with higher productivity and lower specific consumptions. In this article is made an analysis of dust concentration in flue gases emitted of a Compound Feed Factory (CFF), regarding the conformity to European norms concerning the quality of the environment.

The production of compound feed is very necessary for the nutrition of animals from livestock farms, both for the contribution of the good quality nutrients, and also for the reduction of animal products costs. For realizing the European Union's rules regarding the processing of cereal products is necessary the endowing of all production capacities with modern and performance equipments, with high degree of mechanization, automation and computerization, with high productivities and with low specific consummations. Therefore it must be designed performing working installations whose functioning will be checked through experimental modeling so as to match the European rules.

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between critical flicker fusion (CFF) thresholds and five personality characteristics namely, alienation, social nonconformity, discomfort, expression, and defensiveness under three auditory stimulus conditions, such as quiet,
noise, and meaningful verbal stimuli. Sixty undergraduate students, 30 males and 30 females, participated in this experiment. They were between 18 and 26 years of age. Personality characteristics and CFF thresholds were measured by the Arabic version of Lanyon's Psychological Screening
Inventory and by a Visual Perception Control apparatus respectively. The results showed that (1) auditory stimulation did not have any significant effects on CFF thresholds, (2) subjects who scored high in the social nonconformity scale had higher CFF thresholds than those who scored low,
and (3) no other personality characteristics had any significant effects on CFF thresholds. This finding suggests a possible connection between higher CFF thresholds and an inner tendency to revolt against an established order.

Main conclusion Crops For the Future (CFF), as an entity, has established a broad range of research activities to promote the improvement and adoption of currently underutilised crops. Abstract This paper summarises selected research activities at Crops For the Future (CFF) in pursuit of its mission 'to develop solutions for diversifying future agriculture using underutilised crops'. CFF is a research company focussed on the improvement of underutilised crops, so that they might be grown and consumed more widely with benefits to human food and nutritional security; its founding guarantors were the Government of Malaysia and the University of Nottingham. From its base in Malaysia, it engages in research around the world with a focus on species and system diversification. CFF has adopted a food system approach that adds value by delivering prototype food, feed and knowledge products. Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea) was adopted as an exemplar crop around which to develop CFF's food system approach with emphasis on the short-day photoperiod requirement for pod-filling and the hard-to-cook trait. Selective breeding has allowed the development of lines that are less susceptible to photoperiod but also provided a range of tools and approaches that are now being exploited in other crops such as winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus), amaranth (Amaranthus spp.), mor-inga (Moringa oleifera) and proso (Panicum miliaceum) and foxtail (Setaria italica) millets. CFF has developed and tested new food products and demonstrated that several crops can be used as feed for black soldier fly which can, in turn, be used to feed fish thereby reducing the need for fishmeal. Information about underutilised crops is widely dispersed; so, a major effort has been made to develop a knowledge base that can be interrogated and used to answer practical questions about potential exploitation of plant and nutritional characteristics. Future research will build on the success with Bambara groundnut and include topics such as urban ...

ABSTRACT Coral triangle area is one of the centre world biodiversity. The region served as source of livelihood, coastal organism breeds location, and also contribute in address global warming issue. However, the coral triangle area, experienced severe damages caused by destructives human activity . Refers to the currents circumstance, Indonesia call for collective engagement to save the biodiversity in the region. The efforts finally resulted in the form of cooperation Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs Fisheries and Food Security (CTI-CFF) by the six member of CT6. Indonesia persistently make the CTI-CFF as fundamental building block for well established cooperation amongst state member in the region. This research would like to analyse the factor that triggered active role involvement by the Indonesia government in the CTI–CFF. There are several concept to be used in this research, such as rational model actor and internal-external factor. Key Words : Coral Triangle Initiative, CTI–CFF, Rational Actor Model, Internal-External Factor.

En 2012, en Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, 43% des jeunes placés en IPPJ (Institutions Publiques de Protection de la Jeunesse) sont bruxellois, alors que les IPPJ sont tous situés en dehors de l'arrondissement judiciaire de Bruxelles et considérant par ailleurs que les projets pédagogiques des IPPJ ont évolué dans le sens d'un accroissement du travail avec les familles et le réseau du jeune ainsi que les démarches de re-scolarisation et de relais vers les associations et institutions, la Ministre de l'Aide à la jeunesse a annoncé à la presse en février 2013 le projet de « créer une IPPJ à Bruxelles ». Suivant l'idée que « le placement en IPPJ loin du lieu de vie des jeunes et de leurs familles compromet le travail de réinsertion sociale réalisé par les intervenants des IPPJ, que ce soit pendant la mesure de placement ou à l'issue de celle-ci », il a ainsi été annoncé qu'une réflexion serait lancée « afin d'étudier l'offre de prise en charge en IPPJ et de créer une IPPJ à Bruxelles ». C'est dans ce contexte que la ministre a commandité au Centre de recherches criminologiques de l'ULB et au Centre d'études sociologiques de l'Université Saint Louis une recherche-action visant à identifier les enjeux de l'éloignement et de la proximité pédagogique dans le cadre des mesures de placement des jeunes en IPPJ/CFF (régime ouvert et fermé) et de l'accompagnement post-institutionnel. Pour mener à bien cette réflexion, la méthode de l'analyse en groupe a été privilégiée. Cette méthode de recherche s'inscrit dans une approche « par le bas » en partant de situations concrètes rencontrées par les acteurs de terrain concernés. Le cadre rigoureux de la méthode d'analyse en groupe a ainsi permis à un panel d'acteurs issu du secteur de l'Aide à la jeunesse et d'autres secteurs concernés par la thématique comme celui de l'enseignement, de la justice, etc, d'échanger leur point de vue de manière argumentée. L'analyse en groupe s'est déployée sur 3 journées, en septembre 2013 à l'IPPJ de Saint-Servais. Le rapport qui en est issu a été présenté aux acteurs et décideurs et est destiné à instruire les choix politiques. -

Abstract
In the near field/far field (NF/FF) dispersion construct, the analytical solutions for the NF and FF concentration equations, respectively denoted CNF(t) and CFF(t) in mg/m3, are coupled in their mathematical derivation. Depending on the form of the contaminant emission rate function G(t) (mg/min), deriving CNF(t) and CFF(t) can range from being relatively easy to impossible. A method is presented to more easily approximate these concentration functions. The method decouples the NF and FF equations by treating the NF as an isolated well-mixed space with volume VNF (m3) and supply/exhaust airflow rate β(m3) and treating the FF as an isolated well mixed-space with volume V (m3) and supply/exhaust airflow rate Q (m3). Assuming that each space contains a source with the same contaminant emission rate function G(t), a contaminant concentration function is derived for the FF zone, denoted CWMR1(t), and an independent contaminant concentration function is derived for the NF zone, denoted CWMR2(t). Deriving a concentration function for a single zone is far easier than deriving coupled concentration functions. It is shown that the sum CWMR1(t) + CWMR2(t) provides an excellent approximation of CNF(t) and that CWMR1(t) provides an excellent approximation of CFF(t). A discrete-time numerical solution for the CNF(t) and CFF(t) system based on a Markov matrix is also presented.
