Science Opportunities in Moldova
Preface
The Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU) has developed this booklet as a reference guide for opportunities in this country. Similar booklets are being developed for universities, scientific institutes and technology opportunities in the five countries that STCU works in, namely, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, Uzbekistan.
Over the last few years it has become apparent to us that such scientific organizations need to promote their scientific
skills and opportunities in order to seek partnering opportunities with western investors and western organizations, both
public and private. This booklet contains one-page capability descriptions of Moldovan universities and scientific institutes (Institute Profile Forms- IPFs). After each IPF one can find a number of one-page technology profile forms (TPFs).
More information can be obtained directly from the scientific contacts provided at the universities and institutes.
As these countries move toward a market-driven economic structure, their scientific institutes and universities will become
increasingly important as technology drivers that promote the scientific research and technologies that are being developed and produced by their scientists. In order to establish business relations with western investors and business people, the various scientific communities will need new tools that will enable them to demonstrate their intellectual capital
in the most productive manner.
To meet the competitive challenges of integrating into the largely knowledge-based economies of the western world, the
countries of the former Soviet Union will need to change and adapt. They will need to utilize the forms by which scientific communities get their products to the marketplace and through sales acquire wealth and promote healthy economies.
Licensing, technology transfer and new high technology start-up companies will be some of the necessary steps leading to global economic integration.
An integral and valuable resource for universities, scientists, researchers, and scientific organizations in the West is the
development of Technology Transfer Offices within their various organizations. The scientific communities in the countries of the former Soviet Union are now aware that the kind of services that these Technology Transfer Offices provide
is very much needed by them also. This booklet of Science Opportunities in Moldova is a way to address this need.
We want to thank the scientific organizations that have prepared the original profiles of their scientific expertise and their
technology opportunities. It must be noted that in translating from one language into another exact correlations are not
always possible; stylistic, cultural, business and legal discrepancies do occur.
Good luck with your scientific developments, and may this booklet help to promote the scientific opportunities that exist
in Moldova, as it moves toward a global, market-driven knowledge economy.

Please note:
STCU is not responsible for the contents of any of the institute and technology profiles in this booklet. The material should be used
as a guide only in order to interest others to collaborate and partner with the scientific organizations of Moldova.

Romanian Reusable Resources
for Natural Language Technology
Description
The Romanian Reusable Resources for Natural Language
Technology (3RNLT) consist of a database with the linguistic information for Romanian at the word level, and a set of
service programs. The database has 6 main tables and 16
auxiliary tables. The main tables are words, words_engl,
words_rus, word_flexies, word_synonyms, word_translations. The former three tables contain respectively Romanian, English, and Russian words. Table word_flexies
contains all inflected forms of the words from the table word.
The table word_synonyms represents dictionary of synonyms for Romanian, and table word_translations contains
Romanian-English and Romanian-Russian translations. The
auxiliary tables contain morphological information, information about part of speech, domains, syntactic roles, etc. At
present the database contains about 1 million of words.
For automation of the process of 3RNLT database completion the inflexion programs has been elaborated, that
can be used in static or dynamic way.
The methods for database correctness and integrity verification has been elaborated. These methods can be: automated – based on formal properties of 3RNLT, and
semiautomated – with expert involvement. In this case special resources visualization engines, orthographic correctors, parallel dictionaries are used.
A software intended to generate dictionaries starting from
3RNLP that organizes the content information is realized in
PHP. The user has to specify criteria for selection of the words
which will be included into
the dictionary, the size of
dictionary page, the dictionary type (synonyms,
translations, morphology)
and a template should be
defined for the HTML layout.
1. RomSP – texts spellchecker
A Web search engine has for Romanian
Fig.2. Interface of the computer aided learning
system for Romanian
been elaborated with the possibilities to involve some particularities of Romanian morphology. Using computational lexicon for Romanian from 3RNLT the search can be carried out
not only for one word apart, but for all its derivative forms as
well.
The texts spellchecker for Romanian, RomSP, has been
elaborated with possibilities to supplement the resources
and an original algorythm of suggestions search for erroneous words.
A computer aided learning system for Romanian has been
elaborated. The system provides Romanian morphology
study for three users categories: 1) persons who do not
know grammar and possess poor vocabulary; 2) persons
who understand spoken language and have a non-systematized knowledge of grammar; 3) persons who know
Romanian, but want to deepen their knowledge on grammar, linguistic features, derivation of words, etc.
The functioning version of 3RNLT and several applications
are accessible at www.math.md/elrr.

Electrophotographic Information Carrier
Description
Charge- (hole or electron) transport polymeric materials
have been widely used in many fields, including electrophotography, organic electroluminescent devices, and
others. They also play an important role in electrophotoconductive materials’ elaboration, which attract much interest because of the potential application in holographic
optical data storage and real time imaging process. Carbazole containing polymers are also well known for their
photorefractive properties. Carbazole containing polymers
can be used in production of photothermoplastic materials
only in case when they correspond to certain requirements:
they must be transparent; they must manifest adhesion for
support; and they should possess certain thermo-mechanic
and deformational characteristics.
With the purpose to obtain carbazole containing copolymers with improved complex of physical–mechanical properties, the possibility of N-vinylcarbazole copolymerization
with higher alkenes – octene-1 (OC-1) and hexadecene-1
(HD-1) has been studied.
On the basis of the prepared photopolymeric materials
there have been developed double-layered photothermoplastic recording media (PTPM carriers). The first layer is
the photosensitive one. As the second recording layer there
has been used well known thermoplastic materials (TPM)
which possess high specific resistance and good deformational properties in corona discharge, namely the copolymer styrene: butylmethacrylate 50:50 mol% (BMA50).
The electro-photographic information carrier includes a
support, a visualization layer of thermoplastic polymer and
an electro-photosensitive layer based on N-vinylcarbazole
copolymer sensitized with 2,4,7-trinitrofluorenone. As light
sensitive layer there has been used a copolymer obtained
from N-vinylcarbazole and a higher alkene 1-octene or 1hexadecene in the presence of an initiator, taken in the following component ratio, mol %:
N-vinylcarbazole
40…60
Higher alkene
40…58

and Mathematics joined the Institute of Electro-Physical Problems. The IAP is known worldwide for the research in theoretical and applied areas.
Institute’s Focus
The main scientific areas of the Institute are:
Fundamental and applied research in physics and physical chemistry of condensed matter: crystalline, noncrystalline and
nanostructured materials, atoms and nuclei, electronics and quantum optics, design of high technologies and multifunctional electronic, optoelectronic and photonic devices;
Fundamental and experimental research using electricity as a catalyst in heat and mass transfer, in cavitation, in electrofloatation and electroplasmolysis; modification of surfaces of materials by electrophysical and electrochemical methods; development of high technologies and up-to-date techniques.
Main results of the IAP are:
• In compound HgCr2S4 a colossal magnetocapacitive effect and multiferroic behavior were discovered, manifested
through a simultaneous magnetic and ferroelectric order.
• The correlation was established between the electronic structure and the capacity of individual molecules and
unidimensional systems, having metal ions with unquenched orbital moments, to function as single-molecule and
single-chain magnets.
• For the first time, a new theoretical interpretation was proposed and then tested on the system of CdSe0.6S0.4:Cr2+
to calculate optic bands in the infrared area of the AIIBIV doped crystals, in which impurity ions are in the mixed ligand environment.
• Based on holografic registration, a complex method of deformation measurement using speckle interferometry
and holography was developed to control, by indirect contact, object deformations and displacements.
• To raise the productivity of production 1.8-2 times, the technology of galvanic covering to recondition used parts was
modified and offered to the private sector. It also increased resistance to wear up to 1.5-2 times, savings of materials
and energy being 25-30%.
• Technological pilot Centre was set up for reconditioning agricultural machines parts. The Center uses advanced
technology based on alligation of two electro-physico-chemical methods: sparkling and plasmochemical treatment,
which is of low cost, materials-and-energy saving and simple to implement.

Advanced ZnO Laser Nanoresonators for
Photonics
Description
The control of the morphology of ZnO assembling is an effective way to design laser resonators. Due to a high optical quality, the material is a gain medium for stimulated
emission. The combination of these two factors is an excellent basis for the development of a variety of new ultraviolet microlasers.
New methods for growing hierarchical ZnO structures by
chemical vapour transport from a mixture of ZnO and carbon powders in a vertical or horizontal furnace with specific
temperature gradients and carrier gas flow rates were developed.
Those methods create conditions for radial self-assembling
of hexagonal ZnO nanorods in cylindrical micro-clusters, or
for the growth of hemispherical mi-cro-formations assembled from ZnO nanostructures.
ZnO structure in the form of a wire was grown with a modified vapour transport and condensation method. The wire
consists of a dense core that may play the role of waveguide and a shell formed mainly from tertapod-type crystallites.
Technological advantages: technological methods developed are simple and cost effective, do not require evacuation systems, and, in some cases, even gas flows are not
necessary.
Technical advantages: as a result of using the invention,
the size of a laser resonator is reduced, the threshold for
stimulated emission is diminished, the variety of resonators
and laser modes is enlarged, which increases the performance of optoelectronic and photonic circuits, and reliability
of identification and security systems.
The advantages of ZnO material over GaN, which is the
main optoelectronic material used for applications in the
UV spectral range, are summarized in the comparative matrix. The materials have nearly the same bandgap cor-responding to the UV spectral range. However, the exciton
binding energy of ZnO is mach higher, assuring effective
excitonic emission at room temperature, which is essential
for UV laser applications.

Virus Free Grapevine Plantlets Production
Description:
The International Council for the Study of Virus and Viruslike Diseases of Grapevine recognizes over 70 infectious
agents affecting this culture. Many of them cause disorders
that reduce the plant vigour and longevity, the quality and
quantity of the yield. Infected propagating material is largely
responsible for the spread of these diseases among and
within viticulture regions. According to existing legislation
all vineyards must be founded using only virus free material.
The meristem tip culture is used for elimination of harmful
viruses. Grapevine shoot tips are micropropagated on different variants of Murashige & Skoog medium selected for
each genotype.
In order to obtain virus free plants an individual protocol for
virus eradication is necessary (only meristem culture,
meristem culture and thermotherapy or chemotherapy). For
confirmation of virus elimination the plantlets were tested
out in virus detection. Virus free plantlets may by used for
mass micropropagation and foundation of a depository of
virus free stock plants.
Innovative aspect and main advantages:
Meristeme culture is a unique technique to produce plants
free from various pathogens including viruses, viroides, mycoplasma.
Benefit of using meristem culture as a means of regeneration consist in production of stabile forms and virus free
stock plants.
Meristem derived plantlets carry many quantitative and
qualitative performance. The productivity of healthy plants
is higher; the resistance to unfavourable climatic conditions
increase; the fruit yield quality of meristem derived plants is
higher than of runner derived plants.
Areas of application:
Virus free depository-collections are subject of all
Grapevines genetic resources, including valuable genotypes with resistance to unfavourable biotic and abiotic factors.
Elimination of the harmful viruses by meristem culture
The increasing security for grapevine genotypes has been
asked by Agricultural Department, Scientific Institutes of
the Academy of Sciences, private organizations.
Stage of Development:
• Technical protocols of standard plantlets production are developed.
• Pilot lots of local cultivars are obtained.
• Developed algorithms are available for other horticulture species.
Targeted Companies:
On virus free plantlets are interested:
• big and middle producers;
• producers from other viticulture countries interested in our new cultivars resistant to unfavourable
factors;
• breeders and viticulture centres interested in autochthonous varieties as source of high quality and
productivity.

Description
Reglalg is a natural plant growth regulator (PGR) extracted
from algae in special conditions. It improves the vitality and
quality of the crops by natural means. In mixture with fungicides and pesticides Reglalg diminishes their effective
doses. As a result, the detrimental effect of chemical crop
protectants on the environment and human health could be
reduced, while the efficient use of natural resources improved.
Reglalg is regulatory preparation that induces the systemic
acquired resistance (SAR), influences on plant growth and
productivity. It could be regarded as an option for economically sustainable organic crop production.
• Acts as a PGR that in specific concentrations stimulate roots growth, activates secondary roots formation and development, provide better mineral and
water supply to the plants.
• On cereals it promotes the deeper immersing of
node of bushiness that have beneficial effects on
plants frost- and drought-tolerance.
• Reglalg components increase plant resistance to
frost, drought, high temperature and snow mould.
• In combination with fungicides and pesticides
Reglalg retains growth-regulating capacities and promote their activity.
• Integration of Reglalg in generally accepted
agrotechnical procedures is not hampered by the requirement of costly investments for equipment and
end-users trainings. It can be applied using the techniques developed for the chemical compounds.
• Easy to use in preparative form (liquid, before use
diluted up with water).
• Long-term storage in the dark, at a wide range of
temperatures (9-18oC).
• Accessible transportation and storage costs.
• Action of Reglalg is environmentally friendly: safe
for people, animals, bees and environment. It could
be regarded as an option for economically sustainable
organic crop production.

Improving Plant Productivity and Resistance
Increase in Conditions of Anthropogenic
Polluted Soils
Description
Repeated and not always rational use of pesticides, herbicides, some fertilizers, and also radiation contamination, contamination from a truck, aerospace industry have resulted in
essential upset of equilibrium in ecosystem, destruction of soils,
and deterioration of health and heredity of the population. The
intensity of plant growth, photosynthetic activity, and quality of
production, resistance to diseases, vermin and low temperatures are reduced on the polluted soils. In these conditions the
necessity of development of effective scientifically based technology for ecosystem remediation is a primary problem. Institute of Genetics and Plant Physiology Academy of Sciences of
Moldova together with International Radioecology Laboratory of
Chernobyl Center for Nuclear Safety, Radioactive Waste and
Radioecology of Cabinet of Ministers of the Ukraine offer to use
three kinds of rizospheric microorganisms and their metabolites in combination with a new microfertilizer Мicrocom for toxicants destruction in soil, reduction of chemical load on both
plants and soil and deriving of ecological pure production. Preliminary researches enabled the creation of a highly effective
technology for complex regulation of growth conditions and
plants nutrition and detoxication of soils contaminated with the
harmful chemical compounds.
The main scientific-methodical approaches is the use of
achievements of microbiology and plants physiology for remediation of polluted ecosystems; complex regulation of
plants growth and development with the purpose of increasing their productivity and resistance to unfavoura-ble conditions of growth. The uniqueness of the methodological
approach is in the following: а) saprophyte soil lived microorganisms are used both for risosphere bacte-rization, and foliar treatment of plants; b) complex use of microorganisms
and traces elements.
Main advantage of the offered technology, in compari-son with
existing, is usage of concrete strains of rizospheric microorganisms and their metabolites in combination with a special
composition of complicated microfertilizer Microcom. Application of such complex of microorganisms and microelements
amplifies the influence on the destructions of toxicants in soil,
plants resistance to diseases and other unfouvarable conditions of growth, reduces chemical load on plants and soil. It will
allow: to activate the processes of absorption of nutritive elements, growth, activity of enzymes, fixing of molecular nitro-

gen; to reduce the technogenic pollution of ecosystem objects;
to increase productivity and resistance of plants, quality of production and state of health of the population. Preliminary data
showed the intensification of processes of growth and development of plants, increase of plant resistance by 3-6% and productivity by 10-15% under the treatment.
Last years viticulture of Moldova is guided by production of
healthy landing material of grape plants, free from bacterial
cancer. Therefore developed technology will have primary significance in the given branch. The new landing plantations
should be planted on soils where the last 6-10 years vineyards did not grow, in other words, on soils, where earlier oneyears cultures have grew, with heavily treatment by
herbicides. Bacterization of seedling and young plants, also of
fruit-bearing plantations will be very effective method of regulation of the mineral status of soils and plants. Offered technology can be used for remediation of soils contaminated by
heavy metals and radioactive elements. The requirement of
remediation of the polluted soil, necessity of regulation of
growth and development of grapes as well as other cultures
is topical also for southern regions of Ukraine, Russia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.

New Dental Preparations on the Base of Fennel
Seeds Extract (“Fenglicol” and ”Fencarin”) and
Technologies of Their Production
Description
New medicinal preparations (“FENGLICOL” and ”FENCARIN”) and technologies of their production are proposed
on the base of extract of fennel seeds Foeni-culum vulgare
as well as with inclusion of additional ingredients: essential
oil in Fenglicol, marigold flowers components in Fencarin,
glycerol and ethanol. Optimal production conditions of main
components of the preparations and ready pharmaceutical
forms on their base have been elaborated. Production technologies have been developed.
All necessary requirements of Russian Pharmacological
Committee for this kind of drugs such as acute and chronical toxicity, specific pharmacological activity and others
have been studied and determined.
Preparations have anti-inflammatory, wound healing, deodorant and anesthetic activities. They are recom-mended
for treatment and prophylaxis of inflammatory pathologies
of mouth mucosa and especially for chronical periodontitis, stomatitis and gingivitis. Their taste, anesthetic and deodorant properties make it possible to apply in child
stomatology.
Pharmaceutical form: transparent or slightly opalescent
emulsion, with sweet taste and pleasant odor of anise, with
pale yellow-brown color with greenish tint, packed in 40 or
50 ml bottles.
In comparison with many medicines our products pos-sess
higher affectivity for treatment of inflammatory diseases of
mouth mucosa, have excellent good taste and deodorant
properties that permit their application not only in adult but
also in pediatric stomatology.
The preparations don’t have decalcification activity on the
dental tissues, in contrast with many natural and synthetic
drugs existing on today’s pharmaceutical market. They
don’t have side effects as they are pro-duced from ecologically clean raw materials. In con-nection with it they can
have high competitive power in comparison with other
preparations.
By this time there is a base for medical application of the
preparations on the basis of stomatological institu-tions
where clinical tests have been already carried out.
As a result of improved technology production of fen-nel
tincture development of new combined preparations on the
base of fennel tincture is possible.

Entomophagous Trichogramma for Biological
Plant Protection of the Agricultural Crops
Against Pests
Description
One of the most important biological agents in Plant Protection is Trichogramma (useful insect) which is used
against different pests in integrated plant protection. Rearing of Trichogramma on moth eggs increases the biological
indexes and its efficacy in the field.
Trichogramma evanescens W. reared on preliminarily irradiated moth eggs, has been used for different crops: corn,
cabbage, peas, tomatoes combating noctuid pest complex,
and Trichogramma embryophagum H. - against apple
worm in the orchards.
During the rearing process of the continuous mass production of Trichogramma the biological indexes such as
prolificacy, percentage of females, number of total individuals, migration capacity diminish and as a result the biological efficacy decreases. With the scope of increasing the
Trichogramma efficacy in the field, several technologies
have been developed.
Among new technologies, one of the most fundamental is
the rearing process in laboratory conditions of the Trichogramma on preliminary irradiated moth eggs (Sitotraga
Cerealella O.) which leads by 2 or 3 times higher biological
indexes compared to initial prototypes (rearing of Trichogramma on non irradiated moth eggs). This result leads
by 15 to 20% higher biological efficacy in the field and consecutively by a 15 to 20% more yield. The moth eggs irradiated production and Trichogramma production processes
are factors that contribute to a higher productivity (by 2025%), lower costs (by 1,5 times) compared to Trichogramma prototypes – reared on non irradiated eggs
and compared to chemical pesticides (by 3 to 4 times).

Heat Pump Using Carbon Dioxide
as Working Fluid for Winemaking
Description
Energy intensity decrease of the food industry production is
now the purpose of innovative development in this area.
Application of heat pumps (HP) in the industry makes up a
very small part from the total heat pumps amount. So, for
example, heat pumps using low grade heat from technological processes in winemaking practically are not applied,
though examples of heating of a part of a factory premises
from ground source heat pumps (USA). We offer the
scheme of HP and its use in winemaking where HP is used
simultaneously at cooling of fermenters, at criomaceraton
and at the thermomaceration, processing of wines by heat
and at the sanitary processing, later the same heat pump
is used in technological process of wine processing by a
cold and simultaneously at hot water preparation (sanitary
processing of the equipment, hot water for personnel
needs). This heat pump is used at work of distiller after the
end of the period of wine processing by cold, or in the absence of a distiller for the bleeding of heat from the boiler
flue gases (serving for the preparation of steam and hot
water for the technological process needs) with the purpose of fuel utilization factor increase of the boiler. Expander use is possible, in the last case, in a heat pump loop
what raises its energy and economic efficiency. Heat pump
station should be supplied with the replaceable gas coolers
and evaporators, and also to have a second loop (intermediate heat carrier contour). A cycle of the heat pump with
the expander and ejector and HP work conditions at variable heat load assuming the use of linear control laws, and
also an adjustable electric drive of the compressor. The use
of ejectors for heat pumps on carbon dioxide is described
in different works. But common use of expander and ejector was not considered in heat pump till now.
is elaborated heat pump with two evaporators which work
at the different temperature levels and by the various thermal loads and control system such a heat pump station.
Payback period of the proposed heat pump is about 2
years at the price of natural gas 300$ for 1000 m3, at the
price of electricity 0,12$ for 1 kWt hour, and at the price of
the heat energy 70$ for 1 Gkal.
Draft proposal is elaborated. The elaboration uses elements protected by the patent of Republic of Moldova,
N3918.
Control of transferred thermal capacity from the low potential heat source is realized by means of changing the speed
of circulation of a liquid in the loop and changing the area
of a heat-transmitting surface, both in the evaporator, and
in the intermediate heat exchanger depending on the operating parameter, for example, intensity of fermentation. It

Installation for Use of Bitumen Waste
Description
Bitumen products grow old during the period of work and
lose the waterproofing properties. The material excluded
from a cycle of work, keeps partially the properties of a
reuse in the same work cycle, only after a cycle of reanimation. Simultaneously, use of installations on processings
of a bitumen waste and reception of industrial bitumen
would promote the solution of a problem connected with
storage of some industrial wastes. On the other hand,
would promote reduction of environmental contamination
and avoidance of illegal storages of this waste.
Process of work of the technological scheme on use of a bitumen waste consists that necessary thermal energy for bitumen fusion turns out at the expense of a bitumen waste.
Owing to, a bitumen waste is fuel raw materials. Thus, we
exclude burning of natural gas or other fuel from process.
Ruberoid fuel or other bitumen waste which are part of soft
coverings is burnt in a fire chamber of the special furnace
to receive fused bitumen from the same waste. This procedure is accompanied by manual division of this waste
from superfluous elements (a stone, concrete, etc.).
Technical characteristics of elaborated sample are:
• Bitumen production 280 – 430 kg/h
• Amount of bitumen waste used as fuel 15 – 20 kg/h
• Rated power up to 170 kW
• Installed electrical power 6 – 8 kW
• Working days in a year – 215 days
chamber of burning of the furnace, increasing thus efficiency of combustion, and 10 % of these gases heat up
gases after, preventing thus dew effect.
Process of fusion of a bitumen waste and their transformation to industrial bitumen occurs in the radiant chamber
to installation, where target gases are fused without burning a bitumen material, transforming it in fluid bitumen. Fluid
bitumen gathers in special bunkers where briquetting in a
solid condition is then made.
The executed experiments have confirmed that components being in a bitumen waste approximately are equal to
those from black oil:
• Ashes in bitumen make 7%
• Ashes in ruberiod make 11-12%
• Humidity (summer) make 1%
• Contents of volatiles make 5%.
Moreover, the quantity of emissions has been established
at burning of 5000 m3/h
• SO2 – 300-370 mg/m3
• NOX – 79 mg/m3
• CO – 530 mg/m3
• CO2 – 15500 mg/m3
• Ashes – 612 mg/m3
The sample of installation was elaborated.
The principle of work of installation is based on fuel burning in a fire chamber, releasing easily evaporating substances and a soot (with the sizes about from 0.003 сm to
0.03 сm). For full combustion of such particles it is necessary, that the burnt gases have passed a distance in 3-5 m
at temperature 800 0С. Therefore, an oven in which there
are these processes of combustion is carried out the round
form, and the special device for raw materials loading in
the chamber is provided.
Gases heat up air which passes through the device of preliminary heating to 200-300 0С, heated air stream feeds the

Damp Filtration Effective for Clearing of
Burnt Gases
Description
Energy reception has an intermediate phase which consists in conversion of chemical energy in thermal, by direct
burning. Burning process is accompanied by formation of
solid particles which can have the sizes from nano up to
micro metres. After burning these particles are thrown out
in atmosphere through chimneys. It leads to environmental
contamination, formation of harmful substances which negatively influence health of people. Technical solutions which
are used now for clearing of mass of the burnt gases
thrown out in atmosphere, do not solve in full a problem of
clearing of gases from solid particles and microparticles.
Schemes of a damp filtration of the burnt gases provide
clearing of solid particles at level of 98 %. For the purpose
of increase of this level it is offered to include the generator of acoustic waves in confusor of the filter for formation
of some vortical movements in a point of crossing of
streams of the burnt gases and damp air. Air consumption
makes 2-5 % from volume of the processed gas. The given
technology allows to lower emissions in atmosphere on 1.5
% in comparison with classical schemes. Level of clearing
of gas to 99.7 % will allow to raise applications of the given
technical solution.
In order to exclude formation of a condensate it is provided
additional heating of target gases after a filtration. It promotes to protect the equipment from corrosion.
Fig.1. System of clearing of burnt gases
The elaboration is protected by the patent of Republic
of Moldova, N3990.
These systems which are studied provide high level of a filtration. However, essential noise of the resonator established in confusor of the damp filter is registered. The
temperature of target gases after Venture pipe, at inclusion
resonance system becomes hardly less than without
acoustic system. The given technical solution is characterized by improvement of an intensification of an exchange of
mass and temperatures in an acoustic field. The main problem of this solution consists in the raised noise level of
these resonators which reaches 140Db and insignificant increase of aerodynamic resistance in the filtering device to
127 mm of a mercury column.

electric arc discharge (curve 1) and fabricated by the combine chemical etching and fused methods (curve 2) is
shown in Fig.1.
For the coupling of high-power laser diodes with optical
fibers were designed and manufactured convex microlens
on the homogeneous glass fiber fusion-spliced to the fiber
optic. The efficiency of input radiation is depended not only
on the curvature, but also on the length of the lens. Lenses

Low Speed Impeller Pump
for Hydraulic Energy Conversion Systems
Description
The working elements of the water kinetic energy conversion systems develop very small speeds of rotation (1 –
5min-1). In the case of utilization of these systems for water
pumping by high speed pumps (700 – 1500min-1) it is necessary to have a multiplication system with high multiplying
ratio (i=140…1500). This fact leads to the increase of general costs and to the reduction of reliability. A more advantageous solution consists in the utilization of low speed
impeller pumps. This solution is the basis of elaboration of
the micro hydropower station for water kinetic energy conversion into mechanical energy for water pumping. Aiming
at the above, jointly with SA HIDROTEHNICA, Chişinău,
we have elaborated the concept of low speed pump
(n=300...500 min-1), have performed ample computer simulation of water wheels (fig. 1,a), and have designed the
construction (fig. 1,b) of two typo-dimensions of impeller
pumps (n=300 min-1; n=500min-1). Two industrial prototypes
of the designed impeller pumps have been executed at
HIDROTEHNICA enterprise (fig. 2,a,b) and laboratory experimental testing on the mentioned enterprise’s stand has
been carried out. As result of the carried out testing the following has been achieved: mechanical efficiency – 0,7; output factor - 30m3 (number of revolutions n=300 min-1 ) and
40m3 (n=500min-1), respectively. Low speed impeller pump
are utilized in the microhydrostation structure.
Two typo-dimensions (30m3 and 40m3) of low speed impeller pumps (number of revolutions n=300 min-1 and
n=500min-1, respectively), have been tested in laboratory
conditions. It follows to be tested in real conditions on the
pilot micro hydropower station for water kinetic energy conversion into mechanical energy (for water pumping), which
will be mounted on the Prut River near Stoienesti village.
The low speed impeller pumps with updated spe-cifications
can be produced at the HIDROTEHNICA enterprise,
Chişinău.
Fig. 1. Computerized 3D model and design of the low speed impeller pump.
The low speed impeller pumps were fabricated at the SA
HIDROTEHNICA enterprise for the first time. Their utilisation in systems, in which the working element performs low
speed revolutions, is reasonable as expenses for the multiplication system are reduced. Mechanical efficiency and
output of the tested pumps are high.
The impeller pumps which have been designed, fabri-cated
and tested, can be utilized for water pumping in cases
when the inlet revolution is relatively small
(n=300…500min-1), such as micro hydropower stations for
water kinetic energy conversion into mechanical ener-gy
for water pumping; wind systems for water pumping, etc.

Wind Power Station With Asymmetrical
Airodynamic Profile Blades
Description
Small wind power stations (<100kW) are utilized mainly for
the satisfaction of energy needs of decen-tralized consumers. The suggested wind station func-tions on the basis
of the utilization of the aerodynamic effect developed by
three blades with asymmetrical aerodynamic profile (fig. 1).
In the result of the performed computer simulation and laboratory experimental research the three-blade rotor with
asymmetrical aerodynamic profile was designed and fabricated (fig. 2). The blades have been made of fibre plastic
materials which ensure resistance at bending and torsion.
In order to reduce the cost of wind station the multiplier of
rotor gyration is absent and the three-blade rotor gyration
is transmitted directly to a frontal generator isochronous
with low speed permanent magnets (approximately 100
min-1 ), by excluding the multiplier. The starting speed of
the wind station is 3 m/s. At the speed of 4m/s the wind station produces approximately 2 kW of electrical energy; at 8
m/s – 10kW; 10 m/s -15kW; 12m/s – 25kW. When the
speed is 8-9 m/s the wind station performs 100-120 min-1.
The construction of the wind station with the rotor 9 m diameter and with an isochronous generator with permanent
magnets D550x250mm has been designed and its industrial prototype is in phase of fabrication. The ETALON Centre for Advanced Technologies Implementation at the
Technical University of Moldova will produce low cost micro
hydropower stations at the demand of the decentralized
consumers.
The efficiency of the Wind station with asymmetric aerodynamic profile of blades depends completely on the efficiency of the rotor. The three-blade rotor with the
elaborated asymmetric aerodynamic profile allows an increase in the efficiency of the wind energy conversion. The
proposed diagram of the Wind station ensures such basic
advantages as the utilization of aerodynamic asymmetric
profiles of blades; the efficiency of the electrical generator
is about 92%; relatively reduced costs due to the constructive simplicity (absence of multiplier, and the construction of station protection mechanism for wind high
speeds is simple).
Fig.1 Wind station with asymmetrical airodynamic profile blades
The designed wind station aims at the satisfaction of energy needs (for example, electrical or mechanical energy
utilization for water pumping for irrigation purposes) of decentralized consumers (farmers, own-ers of chalet or small
hotels located in places which are not easy to be accessed
– mountains, small islands, etc.).

Micro-Hydro-Power Station for the Conversion of
Flowing Water Kinetic Energy into Mechanical or
Electrical Energy
Description
Micro hydropower stations are utilized to satisfy the energy
needs of decentralized consumers without build-ing dams.
The proposed micro hydropower station op-erates on the
basis of the principle of flowing water kinetic energy conversion into mechanical or electrical energy. On the basis of the
carried out theoretical re-search and undertaken computer
simulations the con-ceptual diagram of micro-hydro-power
stations with pintle and blades fixed on vertical axles has been
elaborated. The conceptual diagram of the micro hydropower
station is based on the conversion effi-ciency increase (Betz
coefficient) by utilizing the hydrodynamic effect of the blades
and by orientating the blades towards the water stream in optimum posi-tions from the point of view energy conversion. On
the basis of this conceptual diagram the pilot-station of the bifunctional micro hydropower station (Fig.1) has been elaborated. Blades positioning mechanism will provide for their
optimal position dependent on the water streams in any phase
of rotor rotation. The rotor with hydro-dynamic profile blades,
precessional multiplier, impeller pump and electrical generator are fixed on the housing made from a metal framing. The
framing, in its turn, is mounted on four landing pontoons. The
communicating bridge and the mode of fixing to the bank by
cables allow the pilot –station to float depending on the changing level of flowing water. The pilot-station will serve as site
for experimental research on more technical solutions and
working elements in natural conditions, but, in particular, for research on efficient blades with hydro-dynamic profile. The
pilot-station will be anchored to the bank with adjustable cables on its length via a communicat-ing bridge. The scheme
of industrial prototype is proposed in fig. 2. It has a very simple construction and is destined to produce 3-10kW/h. The
vertical rotor has 3 or 5 blades with hydrodynamic profile, positioned under an entering angle which is variable concerning
the water stream speed.
tions reach the value of approx. 0,3. The proposed diagram of
the micro hydropower station axle ensures the following basic
advantages: utilization of hydrodynamic profiles oriented to an
entering angle which is variable con-cerning the flowing water
speed; inefficient zones from the point of view of energy conversion are excluded by repositioning of blades which cross
these zones; and the civil engineering expenses are minimum. All blades participate actively in flowing water kinetic energy conversion whatever the rotor angular position.
The designed micro hydropower stations aim at the satis-faction of energy needs (for example, electrical or mechanical
energy utilization for water pumping for irriga-tion purposes) of
decentralized consumers, especially in rural districts, without
building dams or lakes for water accumulation. It can be used
separately or in a system integrated into other renewable energy conversion systems.
The designed micro hydropower station is covered by patents:
2981MD; 2991MD; 2992MD; 2993MD; 3104MD. Actually the
pilot station of the micro hydro-power station is in the final fabrication stage and will be mounted on the Prut River in Stoienesti village. The in-dustrial prototype is in the designing stage.
Mechanical enterprises INCOMAŞ, Hidrotehnica and Topaz,
which have hold of fabrication technologies for components,
will produce low cost micro hydropower stations at the demand of the decentralized consumers.
The efficiency of the micro hydropower plant depends completely on the efficiency of the multi-blade vertical axis rotor.
The proposed multi-blade rotor with pintle allows the increase
of conversion efficiency (Betz coef-ficient) up to 0,45 (the maximum theoretical value is 0,59), but the known technical solu-

Hydro Turbine With Vertical Blades
Description
The renewable energy is the solution for the problems of
preserving the environment and find new sources of energy for the future, in conditions of a permanent increase of
consumption.
The hydroelectricity is one of the most clean and less aggressive to the environment, finding new solutions of using
this potential will increase the energetically independence
and will give new possibilities in the field.
The vertical blades turbine is designed in the way to use
the energy of the moving water current (as rivers) and produce electricity throw a shaft connected to a generator. The
blades are moved by a special made shaft at the base of
their connection to holding mechanism. During the functioning when water flow throw the turbine the blades are
arranged in a way that when a whole circle is made to have
a bigger resistance in one way and the smaller in the way

Gases
Description
The device is designed for measuring the air pressure in a
range of 1·10–5 to 800 mm Hg.
Pressure is measured using thermocouple pressure
gauges TTC-1 (with a pressure conversion range of 1·10–5
to 1·10–1 mm Hg) and TTC-2 (with a pressure conversion
range of 1·10–4 to 20 mm Hg) and using the strain pressure
gauge TTR-1 (with a pressure conversion range of 10 to
800 mm Hg) employing one measuring channel.
The studies showed the possibility to use the device for
measuring pressure of various gases or their mixtures,
which significantly expands the application range of the device.
To study the calibration characteristics of the gauges comprising the device, we developed a gauge unit that employs
Bayard-Alpert gauges, which can be used for preparing
vacuum gauge systems for measuring pressures up to
1·10-8 mm Hg.
The wide range of pressure measurement, high accuracy
combined with low cost in comparison with foreign counterparts, makes the pressure gauge attractive for import
substitution.
Domain of implementation: the electronics industry, chemical industry, food industry, metallurgy industry, scientific research, and deposition of coatings.
Engineering documentation has been developed; a prototype sample has been prepared; and acceptance tests
have been performed.
The tests were performed under production conditions in
the factories "Vibropribor" and "Topaz."
Certificate of registration of industrial design no. 1353 of
June 11, 2009 was obtained for the device.

Informational Tools for Distance Learning
and Remote Design in GUAM Community
Description
Development of a unique information environment of the
four states belonging to GUAM association (Georgia,
Ukraine, Armenia and Moldova), intended for remote cooperation in the technical and scientific fields, can bring
substantial benefits to all parties involved. The environment
developed using a distributed technical system is intended
mainly for collective work on common projects of the specialists from GUAM community, basi-cally for the former
weapon scientists, as well as for distance education and
continuing education of the specialists from the field mentioned above.
Distributed technical system for joint work on common projects has been developed, comprising sets of data banks
and databases (on 4 national servers and a com-mon
GUAM server).
Within the #4509 STCU project the Information Society Development Institute developed a website comprising relevant databases of qualified experts in various fields, the
fields for training and continuing education, available trainers and scientific results. A study class was set up in
Chisinau, Moldova, equipped with technologies for remote
design of machine building items (based on CAD/CAM “Inventor” product), as well as for distance education of the
relevant experts (via VPN connection). It passed several
tests: simultaneous activities in the system, work in time
sharing mode between the partners, mixed mode. The system is designed to serve as a per-manent means of communication for scientific and technical cooperation among
researchers from GUAM community.

The novelty consists in the fact that for the first time in the
post-soviet space (i.e. Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Georgia and
Moldova) there will be created a technical and scien-tific
complex, that will provide common simultaneous activity of
the experts from different countries on a common project,
as well as training (continuing education) in a “collective dialogue” mode and common analysis of social and economical issues.
A new step in the field of distance education is the teach-ing
methodology developed on basis of CAD/CAM Inventor.

DDTs Polluted Site Decontamination
Description
The main scientific directions are study of the geology and
geophysics conditions of the Republic of Moldova. Environmental geochemistry of persistent organic pollutants,
petrol pollutants (PAHs, BTEX etc.), and heavy metals are
principal study topics of institute for water quality and environmental risk assessments, implementation of site remediation technologies. Investigation of the destructive
geological phenomena also is in the filed of scientific interest of institute for sustainable development of the country
and minimization of negative impact of different pollutants
on environmental quality and public health. Institute possesses sufficient laboratory capabilities and experience for
analytical work by the environmental investigation: determination of chlororganic pesticides, polichlorbiphenyls
(PCBs) polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), BTEX; Identification of compounds in different objects by Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry; analysis of toxic
elements (As, Se, Hg, Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr, Al, Mn, Fe, V,
Si etc.) in natural and technological waters, foods, agriculture crops, soils, sediments, sewage sludge, metals and alloys.
An environmental friendly technology has been devel-oped
for the polluted site remediation. Proposed technol-ogy is a
development of EPA method of phytoremedia-tion. Zucchini
and pumpkin showed good results in Mol-dova conditions
for the implementation of phytoremediation technology for
POPs removal from soil. Local wild plants can be used also
for this purpose in complex with cultivated plants. These
approaches will give better results in complex utilization
with other biotechnology (microbiological destruction).
Tested in field conditions, available for demonstration.
Certificate of accreditation by ISO 17025 #SNA MD CAECP
LI 02 211.
The methodology for the inventory of POPs polluted areas,
Environmental Risk Assessment procedure and phytoremediation technology in Moldova conditions has been developed. The phytoremediation experiment has been
de-signed using five plant species: corn (Zea mays L.), zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L. subsp. pepo), pumpkin (C. pepo L.
subsp. pepo), carrot (Daucus carota L.subsp. sativus (L.)
Schübler & G.Martens.), and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.
Moench). The principal plant parts have been analyzed for
the assessment of pesticide accumulation (roots, steam,
leaves, crop). Conclusion has been made that old pesticide
storages with a relative high level of POPs pollution can be
cleaned by the phytoremediation technology. It needs individual design for every lot in view of local conditions. Investigators should take into consideration all advantages
and limitations of this technology and use it in complex with
other biotechnology for more effective POPs destruc-tion.
