Design of a Property-Based Rainwater Drainage System at FETADFA Campus. by Orikiiriza, Agnes

“…The Faculty of Engineering, Technology Applied Design and Fine Art suffers from localized ponding due to heavy rains and this has resulted into water ingress into the buildings, inadequate space for parking and socializing amongst students since the compound and some walkways are inaccessible leading to stagnation thus resulting into a habitat for frogs, snails and insects such as mosquitoes. Roof drainage system in particular siphonic roof drainage system has been designed for the large roof areas. …”

STUDY OF GERMINATION REGARDING THE COMBAT OF WEEDS IN MEADOWS WITH REFERENCE TO CIRSIUM VULGARE SPECIES by Lisena Piscoran, Teodor Rusu

“…Seed germination is the most important stage in the life cycle of a plant.During seed germination,various metabolic processes are activated that ensure seedling growth and important physiological and biochemical changes occur.Factors acting during seed development (temperature, moisture, burial and microbial damage) can influence subsequent germination performance.Developmental(eg,inflorescence,age) and positional (within or between inflorescences of the parent plant) effects may also be important.In general,C.vulgare is a Euriecia species(species with a high degree of adaptability) common on wet alluvial soils.C vulgare reproduction: pollination takes place by insects (entomogamous pollination) or possibly by wind (anemogamous pollination).They are plants with a biennial reproductive cycle.In the first year they have a single rosette of leaves, while in the second year they bloom completely.They are herbaceous plants that differ from the other biological forms because,being annual,they overcome the adverse season in the form of seeds and are equipped with an erect and often leafless flower axis.…”
