    Summary Dynamic behavior of some metals at the transition region from the active state to the passive state, from steady state to simple, double or chaotic oscillations, presents a large aria of research interest in corrosion and protection of metals and, also, for understanding of the oscillatory phenomena which occurs at the solid/liquid interface processes

    Appearance of the oscillations is related to a precipitation-dissolution process of a chemical species (salt, oxide or hydroxide) at the electrode surface or chemical reactions that have an autocatalytic step. For the anodic dissolution of iron, current oscillations were associated with mechanical oscillations of the electrolyte level or with passive and active zones appearance at the electrode surface, depending upon working electrode-counter electrode distance. The precipitation-dissolution mechanism is the most extensive mechanism, which tries to explain potential or current oscillations and seems to be the closest to the real phenomena.

    Own contribution in the thesis is a study of the dynamic behavior of a zinc anode in nitric acid/potassium dichromate media under some influences (electrolyte composition, nitrate ions, metallic cations, stirring).

    Own contributions represent two chapters: 3. Iron anodization. Potential oscillations 3.1 Two-electrodes cells. Wave clusters 3.2 Three-electrodes cells. Alternative current 4. Oscillatory behavior of zinc anodization 4.1 Potential oscillations 4.2 Current oscillations Zinc anodization in electrochemical cells with acidic media is a new theme of the electrochemical

    oscillations studies. Potential oscillations were studied in two-electrodes systems, without restrictions. The influences of the electrolyte

    composition, nitrate ions, metallic cations and stirring were investigated and no oscillations, simple, two-period and chaotic behavior were observed.

    Current oscillations were studied in an electrochemical cell with three electrodes, under potentiostatic control. Cyclic

    voltammograms, current-time plots and attractors were carried out in order to understand system behavior.

    Summary The aim of this study is to analyze the structural properties and dynamics of proteins involved in the

    dosage of physical effort using computational methods. Physical effort is the result of multiple solicitations of the body during physical activities. For sportive

    training and competition, the effort represents the mobilization of all the necessary physical and psychical resources.

    We focused our attention to the glycolytic enzymes because the glycolytic system assures the anaerobic production of energy for intense physical effort for maximum 60 seconds. We performed a bioinformatics analysis for the structural characteristics of these enzymes in correlation to their biological functions.

    We have chosen the glycolytic enzymes to be studied because the analysis of biochemical parameters of junior football players F.C. Politehnica Timişoara team revealed a decrease of magnesium content of plasma after the competition season and this ion is involved in biological function of phosphofructokinase, a glycolytic enzyme.

    The mean results of our study are: i)Some biochemical and hematological parameters are changed as a result of the physical effort during the

    competition period and there is a correlation between the capacity to perform physical effort and the anthropometric characteristics of junior football players.

    ii)The structural bioinformatics and nonlinear analysis methods and have been used to characterize the structure-function relationship for enzymes involved in glycolytic process, a process that is very important for the ability of the body to perform intense physical effort for long periods of time.

    Summary Doctoral research was focused on the synthesis and characterization of new compounds containing phosphorus

    and nitrogen in the molecule, with the biological properties and applications in medicine and in agriculture. Research strategy is based on modern methods of synthesis and analysis of these compounds.

    My contribution in the thesis is presented in the laboratory studies for synthesis and characterization of compounds containing phosphorus and nitrogen. In addition, a characterization of the synthesized compounds by quantum-chemical parameters and a regression analysis with molecular descriptors was performed.

    These contributions are divided into four steps as follows: 1. Obtaining new phosphoramidates from different substituted anilines; 2. Obtaining new iminophosphorane and bis-iminofosforani; 3. Quantum-chemical calculation; 4. Correlation of the capacity factor (k ') with molecular descriptors for a series of phosphoramidates After analyzing the obtained experimental results some conclusions can be drawn that shows the originality of

    research and the actuality of the field: - Based on various substituted anilines and dialkyl and diaryl phosphites, a series of compounds in liquid-liquid

    and liquid-solid biphasic system were synthesized. A series of 29 phosphoramidates (21 new compounds), with yields ranging from 44-86% was obtained.

    - Based on different diphenylphosphoryl azide and phosphine, with yields ranging from 80-97%, a new 3 iminophosphorane were obtained.

    - A remarkable original contribution of the thesis is the quantum-chemical calculation of global parameters for evaluation of iminophosphorane chemical reactivity, using DFT methodology.

    - HOMO and LUMO levels energies, electrostatic potential and local ionization energy were calculated. - Local reactivity was investigated by Fukui reactivity indices, in order to understand and predict the chemical

    reactivity in a variety of situations for two iminophosphorane. - A good predictive QSPR (MLR and PLS) models were obtained, allowing to develop new phosphoramidic acid

    derivatives that are used in different purpose.

    were synthesized and characterized due to their catalytic efficiency in oxidation reactions of organic compounds with double bonds between carbon atoms. Peroxo complexes of molybdenum (VI), of [MoO(O2)L] and [MoO(O2)2L] types, where L – organic ligant, have a wide catalytic apply in various areas, such as ceramics industry, textiles industry, pulp and paper industry, etc.

    Materials: Potassium oxalato-oxo-diperoxo-molibdenum (VI) - K2[MoO(O2)2(C2O4)]; sodium oxalato-oxo-

    diperoxo-molibdenum (VI) - Na2[MoO(O2)2(C2O4)]; sodium citrato-oxo-diperoxo-molibdenum (VI) - Na2[MoO(O2)2(C6H6O7)] (synthesized in our laboratory), dried at the ambient temperature, grinded state.

    The main original contributions to the achievement of this paper are: - Synthesis, characterization and practical applications of many complexes with transition metals (Mo); - Introducing the idea that complexes could be successfully used in bleaching lignocelluloses materials; - Outlined the catalytic properties of the oxo-diperoxo-methalates by studying existing technical

    solutions; - Identifying the main classes of the oxo-peroxo- methalates; - Identifying the chemical structures of the various oxo-peroxo-methalates; - Establishing the recipes for oxo-diperoxo- methalates synthesis; - Studies concerning bleaching process of the lignocelluloses fibers using molecular oxygen or

    catalysts; - Selection of the techniques used to establish the structural formula, types and thermal stability of the

    similar complexes; - Study of methods for calculating the non-isotherms kinetic parameters; - Description of the selected techniques for complexes characterization; - Choosing the most effective complex industrial applications based on technical-economic arguments; - Synthesis, determination of the molecular formula and physic-chemical characterization of the

    selected complexes; - Demonstration of the compounds thermal stability to a higher temperatures than the temperature of

    practical industrial application (90-950C); - Characterization of the thermal degradation stages of these compounds by showing breakdown

    products of each stage; - Identification of kinetic parameters characteristic of the first degradation stage; - Establishing the mechanism for the first degradation process of the complexes; - Providing applicability to both complexes: the complex considered more reactive were used for

    bleaching hemp fiber (non-wood pulp) and the complexes less reactive were used for bleaching textile fabrics (50% flax& 50% cotton);

    - Demonstration of the potassium oxalate complex efficiency in the hemp fibers bleaching process; - Demonstration of the sodium complexes efficiency in the blended fabrics (50% flax& 50% cotton)

    Summary

    Since the QSAR statistical analysis may often provide confusion in assessing the most reliable validated-predicted model the alternative algebraic-spectral approach was here undertaken. It is based on simple although meaningful mathematical concept of norm, which is on its turn based on the scalar product concept in a N-generalized vectorial space associate with the number of chemical compounds in a structure-activity correlation. The norm concept permits the introduction of the algebraic correlation factor seen as the ratio of the predicted to the observed norm computed from the activity values measured for the molecular toxicants considered. Moreover, it leads with formulation of the practical least action principle with the selective role among all connecting paths across uni-, bi-, and multi-parameters models computed. Such description is completed by the so called Spectral-SAR determinant, built on the transformation between the direct and orthogonal vectorial space of activity-descriptors space, to produce a unitary QSAR analysis providing the regression equation as well as the validation and selection framework for identifying the optimum predictive models. Nevertheless, the Spectral-SAR description is based only on norm, algebraic correlation index, and on computed paths with the least ordering principle; it may eventually replace the statistical arsenal of indices as correlation factor, standard error of estimation, explained variance, student-t and Fisher indices and of associate tests. The success of such approach was here illustrate at the level of ecotoxicity of aliphatic amines on rats while more general studies are necessary in order to clearly asses the algebraic-spectral superiority end efficiency on the traditional or derivate statistical tools and methods. While in current mathematical formalisms the Algebra is called to systematize, classify and order the various concepts and objects for relating and unifying them in a unitary system of comprehension we believe that algebraic-spectral approaches stand as the future in QSAR analysis trying to simplify and clarify the role, the impact and the way of action of various structural indices and parameters used in modeling observable effects.

    The modern in silico (computational) chemical analysis respecting the bio- activity and availability of analogues substances, potentially beneficial or detrimental for specific interaction in organs and organisms, faces with a paradoxical dichotomy: if searching for the best correlation useful for prediction of specific molecular bio- or eco- activity QSAR models involving un-interpretable many latent variables may be produced, while always remaining the question of correlation factor indeterminacy (i.e. the assumed descriptors can be at any time replaced with other producing at least the same correlation performances); instead, when restricting the analysis to search for molecular design and mechanisms throughout performing SARs by means of special structural indicators for a given class of relevant molecules, arises the price of limiting the use of generated models for further prediction. The present communication is mainly devoted in developing the second (Q)SAR face by extending the recent introduced notion of spectral-path-linking-endpoints and the associate least action principle to spectral path quantification, in terms of the best fitted molecules, along the contained computed models, by means of the introduced q(uantum)-SAR factor within the generally called Quantum-SAR (QuaSAR) methodology.

    As an application, for representative flavonoids’ inhibiting activities on breast cancer resistant protein there was clearly shown that the newly introduced q-SAR factor offers relevant analytical characterization of previously conceptually introduced spectral paths hierarchy; moreover, the present QuaSAR may allow concerned molecules’ inter-conversion interpretation towards receptor binding since belonging to the same class of analogs, while they certainly undertaking such transformation during their interaction with macromolecules, proteins and enzymes present on cellular walls or with in vivo environment.

    Basically, the QuaSAR stands as the first step in assessing the quantum mechanically equivalent of wave function to the sample of molecules interacting with a specific organism site; it will eventually lead with the hyper-wave function with the help of which the associate hyper-density probability of binding (metabolization) is to be computed; the last information may provide the density probability map of the ligand-receptor interaction abstracted from the structural Spectral-Qua-SAR correlations; with this tool the molecular design of new chemical structures may be appropriately undertaken.

    Since nowadays there is increasing interest in public health through various environmental interactions, the design of chemical compounds with little toxic effects on organisms or with anti-cancer effects remains at the forefront of actual molecular research either by experimental synthesis and computational modeling. In this context, the present work sought to combine both aspects (experimental and computational) in reporting new molecules in a series with pre-defined cytotoxicity activities. As such, the chemical synthesis of two new stigmast-en-ol/one and aminocinnamyl- derivatives were described and their cytotoxicity influence on human fibrosarcoma cells HT1080 analyzed by means of structural projected activities within the so called quantitative structure inter-activity relationship (QSInAR) modeling. While the ideal case will be the equal cytotoxicity performances at both local (structurally-projected) and global (observed) activities, one may nevertheless rely on the inter-activity analysis and make further recommendations for new synthesis and molecular interactions and mechanism as far as it provides statistical relevant results for both trial and test congeneric molecules when physicochemical working structural indicators are included.
