When an aristocratic old lady is brutally murdered in her country home the night before 9/11, it takes all the resources of the FBI and Interpol to work out the connection between her and the possible motive for her death -- a priceless Van Gogh painting. It's a young woman in the North Tower when the first plane crashed into the building who has the courage and determination to take on both sides of the law and avenge the old lady's death. Anna Petrescu is missing, presumed dead, after 9/11 and she uses her new status to escape from America, only to be pursued across the world from Toronto to London, to Hong Kong, Tokyo and Bucharest, but it is only when she returns to New York that the mystery unfolds. Why are so many people willing to risk their own lives and others' to own the Van Gogh Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear?
This volume presents the contributions of the fifth International Conference on Advancements of Medicine and Health Care through Technology (Meditech 2016), held in in Cluj-Napoka, Romania. The papers of this Proceedings volume present new developments in - Health Care Technology, - Medical Devices, Measurement and Instrumentation, - Medical Imaging, Image and Signal Processing, - Modeling and Simulation, - Molecular Bioengineering, - Biomechanics.
This book gathers the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Advancements of Medicine and Health Care through Technology, held virtually on 13 – 15 October 2020, from Cluj-Napoca, Romania. It reports on both theoretical and practical developments fostering the use of cutting-edge technology in clinical settings, telemedicine, and biological research. Chapters mainly deal with medical devices, measurements and instrumentation, medical imaging and biological signal processing and health care information systems. Further topics include modeling, simulation and biomechanics, as well as innovative (bio-)materials for biomedical applications. The conference, as well as the realization of this book, was supported by the Romanian Society for Medical Engineering and Biological Technology.

For at sikre det engelske herresæde Wentworth, der har været i slægtens besiddelse i generationer, tvinges Lady Victoria Wentworth til at afhænde et af familiens klenodier, et verdensberømt og uvurderligt Van Gogh-maleri. Køberen er Bryce Fenston, manden bag en lyssky bankvirksomhed med kontorer i Twin Towers i New York. Men da Victoria myrdes i sit hjem natten til 11. september 2001, forsvinder maleriet sporløst. Anna Petrescu, der arbejder som kunstekspert for Fenston, befinder sig i North Tower, da det første fly rammer. Hun formodes død. Under dække af denne status kæmper hun for at afsløre sin arbejdsgivers dobbeltspil og for at finde maleriet. Men hendes modstander er nådesløs, og kampen bringer hende verden rundt på en krævende og farlig mission. ”Hvis der var en nobelpris i fortællekunst, ville Archer få den.” Daily Telegraph
This book gathers the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Advancements of Medicine and Health Care through Technology, MEDITECH 2022, held virtually on 20–22 October 2022, from Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

- De ce este ucisă cu brutalitate o bătrână aristocrată cu o noapte înainte de 11 septembrie 2001? - De ce nu se arată surprins un bancher de succes din New York când primeşte urechea stângă a unei femei, cu poşta de dimineaţă? - De ce un renumit avocat din Manhattan lucrează numai pentru un singur client, fără să primească vreun onorariu? - De ce o tânără expertă în pictura impresionistă fură o capodoperă a lui Van Gogh, deşi nu este hoaţă? Toate aceste întrebări şi multe altele îşi găsesc răspunsul în romanul IMPRESIE FALSĂ care îl poartă pe cititor, cu sufletul la gură, de la New York la Londra, Bucureşti şi Tokio şi, în final, într-un liniştit sat englezesc, unde misterul picturii lui Van Gogh va fi dezlegat.

Domozină, ai legătura!”, așa începea Gheorghe Minoiu, coordonatorul emisiunii Fotbal minut cu minut, după prezentarea meciurilor ce urmau a fi transmise, trecerea în revistă a rezultatelor din Divizia B dar și după ce Mircea M. Ionescu dezvăluia „Etapa în cifre și date”. Dincolo de format și de context (unul în care televiziunea nu concura transmisiunile radio la modul la care o face azi), emisiunea Fotbal minut cu minut a fost ce a fost datorită oamenilor care au produs-o, au întreținut-o și au adus-o la cote de performanță greu de egalat. Crainicii și-au făcut o datorie de onoare din a-i informa pe ascultători la modul cel mai onest posibil, de a-i ține conect...
