| 2. | Modulation Spaces with Exponentially Increasing Weights Mihai Pascu | pg. 5-9 |
| Modulation spaces were for the first time defined and studied by H. Feichtinger in 1983. Usually the weights used for the definition of modulation spaces have a polynomial growth. But weights with exponential growth can also be used. Such spaces are useful in the study of pseudodifferential operators of infinite order. We shall introduce here a new class of modulation spaces with weights having exponential growth. | ||
| 3. | Linear Interpolation of the Functions with Three Variable Values with Simple Nodes Tanase Dinu | pg. 10-16 |
| The theme of interpolation of a function with three variable values is a complex matter which implies major difficulties when solving it concerning its form , the grade of the polynomial interpolation and the number of points from the definition field .The paper presents two cases of linear interpolation which may be applied when solving problems with elementary fields such as pyramidal. | ||

| 7. | Interne Approximation for a Variational Inequality Problem Lidia Iancu | pg. 43-52 |
| In this paper we describe a modality to transform a variational inequality in infinite dimension into a problem in finite dimension. We use this theoretical concept for a concrete problem of elasto-plasticity for a simple domain. We use a Math-lab version to programming the calculus of triples integrals witch appear in finite element procedures. | ||
| 8. | Managing Security Monitoring in Enterprise Networks Iustin Priescu, Sebastian Nicolaescu | pg. 53-58 |
| A significant number of high profile cases of malicious software threats and incidents that have dominated media reporting for years have served to raise awareness and determine most businesses to invest time and resources into defending against this prevalent security issue. Security monitoring has gained support being regarded as an essential component for managing and improving the security of network infrastructures. The primary goal of a security monitoring system is to help identify suspicious events on a network that may indicate malicious activity or procedural errors. This paper present the major security monitoring types in current enterprise networked environments. | ||

| 15. | Pressure-assisted Crystallization of Cu-Zr-Ti Glass-forming Alloys Manuela Stir, Anca Baciu, Radu Nicula | pg. 99-103 |
| Alloy powders with nominal composition Cu60Ti20Zr20 were investigated by in-situ X-ray diffraction at the B2 powder diffraction beamline (HASYLAB/DESY, Hamburg, Germany) and by X-ray diffraction experiments during continous heating under uniaxial pressure at the F2.1/MAX80 beamline in HASYLAB. The structural phase transitions in the nanocrystalline Cu60Zr20Ti20 were investigated for continuous heating at three different pressures, namely 0.6GPa, 1.0GPa and 1.7GPa. The pressure dependence of the phase transition temperatures was obtained. | ||
| 16. | On Fractional Wavelet Transform V.I.R. Niculescu, Liana Sandru | pg. 104-108 |
| The wavelet theory is a powerful method for processing different physical and chemical signals. The fractional wavelet can be obtained from the a fractional window. In this brief report we present a new wavelet transform which is obtained from Agnesi window. This class of wavelet transform is a flexible one because dependents on two parameters (dilatation or contraction, position). It cover also combinations of discrete and continuous parameter discretisations (hybrid cases). | ||

| 18. | The Problem of Relation between Energy and Mass Ion Simaciu, Zoltan Borsos, Mihai Hotinceanu | pg. 115-121 |
| In this paper, we analyze the concepts about two fundamental physical measures: the energy and the mass. In first part, we presented these concepts from the classical physics. In part two, are presented the concepts from the modern physics: the relativistic physics and the quantum physics. In part three, are presented new arguments to support the fact that the measures are qualitative distinct and the Einstein relation is just a quantitative relation between mass in the proper referential system and energy. The key of the problem solution is a relativistic definition of the speed in connections with the relativistic definitions the path length and the duration of the path. The relativistic definitions are compatible only in the case of proper speed υ = dr / dτ. In this case, the relativistic momentum is the product between the mass in proper reference and proper velocity p = m υτ = m υ / sqrt( 1- υ2/c2). | ||
| 19. | Current SUSE Pearl Undulator Liana Sandru, V.I.R. Niculescu, S. Miclos, Minola R. Leonovici | pg. 122-126 |
| A new undulator structure for free electron lasers was presented. Current SUSE Pearl devices produce magnetic fields which are spatially periodic. The current structure was in the shape of wire stacks. The current has alternating directions. The magnetic field components for each wire presents symmetry with two axis. The undulator transverse cross-section SUSE Pearl was represented by two SUSE Pearls in mirror. The Biot - Savart law was numerically evaluated. The magnetic field was mainly longitudinal and easily adjusted with the current. The versatility of values cover longitudinal undulator or wiggler design for two beams devices with transverse momenta. | ||
| 20. | Example for Determination of the Phase Inversion Point Anca Baciu, Nicolae Mosescu, Georgeta Nan | pg. 127-130 |
| The phase inversion refers to a phenomenon where with a small change in the operational conditions, the continuous and dispersed phase spontaneously inverts. For instance, in oil-water systems, dispersion (emulsion) of oil drops in water becomes dispersion (emulsion) of water drops in oil, or vice versa. The phase-inversion is a major factor to be considered in the design of oil-water pipelines, since the rheological characteristics of the dispersion and the associated pressure drop change abruptly and significantly at or near the phase inversion. | ||
| 21. | Microcellular Carbon from Polymer Materials Pyrolysis Georgeta Nan, Ioan Stamatin, Adriana Andronie, Stefan Iordache, Nicolae Mosescu, Serban Stamatin, Marilena Ceaus | pg. 131-136 |
| The microcellular carbon is an advanced material due to its properties related to chemical inertness and thermal conductivity where high rate of heat exchange is required. In addition the carbon resulted from polymer pyrolysis exhibit various properties of gas adsorption and separation. Microcellular carbon is usual obtaining by foaming of the pyrolized polymers with different agents. The results lead to uncontrolled pore sizes. This contribution deals with a new method of the polymer pyrolysis consisting of thermal treatment of the composite materials polymer-nondecomposable salts. At 700 0 C structures of microcellular carbon have been developed from polyacrylonitrile polymer matrices with addition of salt. The structure and the properties of polymer materials were investigated by, Raman and SEM. | ||
| 22. | Teachers’ Views of Science, Physics and Technology Mariana Bradac | pg. 137-140 |
| Recent research in science education shows that teachers have ideas, attitudes, and behaviors related to science teaching based on a lengthy "environmental" training period, in which they themselves were students. The influence of this incidental training is enormous because it corresponds to reiterated experiences acquired in a non-reflexive manner as something natural, thus escaping criticism. We will discuss how the view of science contained in the curriculum affects teaching, although this is clearly of major significance. This is essential to give a correct image of Science / Technology / Society interactions. | ||
