    Consolidates based on Ca(OH)â‚‚ have been prepared as macro- and/or nanoparticles dispersed in different alcohols, regardless of the precursor nature. Their efficiency is related to the small dimensions of the particles and the dispersion media, which allows their penetration into the deteriorated material substrates, as well as to an increased reactivity towards COâ‚‚. Besides the consolidating effect there is a strong need for the newly developed materials to also tackle other properties like self cleaning and antimicrobial activity, especially with regards to white monuments. In this context the present work highlights the effect of treating with stable alcoholic suspension containing nano - Ca(OH)â‚‚ - TiOâ‚‚ - ZnO the physical support models consisting of mortar cubic samples from hydraulic / aerial lime, a commonly used materials in consolidation works.

    The LULUCF sector (land use, land use change and forestry) can act as a carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) sink, either by increasing the removal of greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere or by reducing their current emissions. This paper intends to analyze the results of the COâ‚‚ monitoring methodology by the chamber method in order to estimate the effect of different land use cover and management techniques. For this purpose, seasonal COâ‚‚ efflux field measurements were conducted in two types of ecosystems (forested land and wheat crop) located in the adjacent area of Bucharest. COâ‚‚ efflux was analysed for each land cover in relation to the physical characteristics of the soil, respectively soil temperatures and humidity, but also together with the main weather parameters. The measurements were performed simultaneously in both land covers at relevant time intervals. The difference in measured values between the two ecosystems was recorded but the results of the statistical analysis showed a lack of differences in the correlation between the COâ‚‚ efflux. This indicates that the COâ‚‚ efflux can be affected by particular elements of the environment which facilitates differences in soil temperature and humidity in the same weather conditions.
