In less than one year, the dream of the Foundation for the Study of Nanoneuroscience and Neuroregeneration, RoNeuro Institute, an academic excellence research and diagnosis center for the neurological diseases, came true, managing to treat over 3000 patients, most of them representing difficult cases in Romania and abroad. The existence of not only some remarkable professionals but also the lat...

A counting polynomial P(G,x) is a description of a graph property P(G) in terms of a sequence of numbers so that the exponents express the extent of its partitions while the coefficients are related to the frequency of the occurrence of partitions. Basic definitions and properties of Cluj counting polynomials CJ(G,x) and their relation with Omega(G,x) and NOmega(G,x) polynomials are presented. ...

AIMS Dental decay is a condition that affects both temporary and permanent dentitions. Prophylactic methods for dental decays consist of: dental sealing, use of fluorides, oral hygiene and healthy diet habits. This article focuses on the frequency, dental materials and techniques of dental sealing used for caries prophylaxis in the Cluj County. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study used a set of qu...

In this paper we investigate the following problem (see I.A. Rus, Fixed Point Structure Theory, Cluj Univ. Press, Cluj-Napoca, 2006, pp. 193-194): Let X be a set with structure and (X,S(X),M) be a large fixed point structure on X. Let U ∈ S(X). An operator p : U → U is by definition coincidence producing operator on (X,S(X),M) if for each f ∈M(U) there exists u ∈ U such that f(u) = p(u). The pr...

During the XXth century, the evolution of histology in Romania was marked by different personalities. The aim of our paper is to present a parallel between two Professors of Histology: Alexandru Tupa (1886-1956) and Cornel Crisan (1895-1958) - who were contemporaries. Thus, we bring a homage to their memory, because in 2016 was the anniversary of 130 years since the birth of Al. Tupa and in 201...

The occurrence and spread of bacterial antibiotic resistance are subjects of great interest, and the role of wastewater treatment plants has been attracting particular interest. These stations are a reservoir of bacteria, have a large range of organic and inorganic substances, and the amount of bacteria released into the environment is very high. The main purpose of the present study was to ass...

Emergency medicine (EM) is a growing specialty internationally, but has yet to be cultivated in countries with otherwise advanced health care systems. To promote the growth of EM, emergency physicians from countries where EM is a mature specialty can assist with knowledge transfer and development of emergency medical systems to make a lasting impact on the community served. We present our exper...

Creating new apple cultivars largely depends on the availability of sufficient genetic diversity, while apple breeding has eroded in time the genetic base of domestic cultivars. The possibility to induce and exploit useful variability for selecting hybrids resistant to apple scab and powdery mildew attack was evaluated in interspecific descendants derived from five wild apple species (Malus cor...
