Optical light beam propagation control trought the defect in one-dimensionalphotonic lattice

Jovanović, Slavica • Todorović, Dragana • Stojanović-Krasić, Marija • Kevkić, Tijana • Milojević, Nenad • Drljača, Branko

Photonic lattices represent are periodic structures, suitable for investigation of wave propagation and localization. Within these systems, different phenomenon such as discrete difraction, lattice solitons, Anderson localization and defects localizations can be analyzed. The lattice periodicity in one or more dimensions leads to the zonal structure in terms of existing permitted and forbidden zones which can allow or stop light beam propagation. Manipulation with the zonal structure can ...

Radulović, Niko • Ristić, Milenko • Ristić, Novica • Dekić, Vidoslav • Dekić, Biljana • Mladenović, Marko

The genus Dianthus L. (Caryophyllaceae) comprises over 300 species of herbaceous plants that are spread over a vast area, especially in the Mediterranean region. Species of this genus, represented with 38 taxa in the Serbian flora, have attracted attention due to the very beautiful flower color combinations ranging from white to deep purple [1]. This characteristic pigmentation, among several other morphological traits, distinguishes Dianthus from other genera within the family Caryophyllaceae, ...

Small deformations, variations and energies of curves

Najdanović, Marija

Contrary to isometries as transformations that preserve distances, in- finitesimal bending is a type of small deformation in which the arc length is invariant with appropriate precision. The influence that given deforma- tions have on geometric quantities is measured by variations. In this talk we discuss the infinitesimal bending of curves and variations of their energies. In particular, we consider spherical curves and an infinitesimal bending field that leaves a given curve on a sphere ...

High indoor radon concentration in residential houses. Ninth International Conference on radiation and applications in various fields of research, RAD9, Virtual Conference, Herceg Novi, Montenegro, July 14-18

Spasić, Dušica • Gulan, Ljiljana

People are mainly exposed to radon in indoor environments. Exposure to radon and its decay products is the second leading cause of lung cancer, and there is a strong synergistic effect with smoking. The most significant source of indoor radon is usually the soil around building; radon penetrates into houses directly from the soil through fractures and cracks. In some cases the source of higher radon could be household water from drilled wells or exhalation from building materials. In the Europea ...

Radon anomalies as precursors of a recent earthquake: A case study of Kosovska Mitrovica environment

Gulan, Ljiljana • Forkapić, Sofija • Spasić, Dušica • Živković Radovanović, Jelena • Vučković, Biljana

Spike-like peaks in the concentration of radon gas prior to a major earthquake are attributed to release different gases (CO2, CH4, H2S, SO2, H2 suitable for the transport of radon to the earth’s surface) due to pre-seismic stress or fracturing of the rock. Passive radon technique based on charcoal canister test kit conducted in the environment of Kosovska Mitrovica in summer and autumn period showed inexplicable results. Since radon levels are sensitive to short-term fluctuations, an active tec ...

Samaržija-Jovanović, Suzana • Petković, Branka • Jovanović, Tijana • Jovanović, Vojislav • Marković, Gordana • Marinović-Cincović, Milena • Budinski-Simendić, Jaroslava

Urea–formaldehyde (UF) resin adhesive is a polymeric condensation product of formaldehyde with urea and is considered as one of the most important wood adhesives. In spite of some advantages such as lower cost, fast curing, good performance in the panel, water solubility and being colorless, UF resin adhesives also possess a critical disadvantage: formaldehyde (FA) emission from the panels. Exposure to FA may occur by breathing contaminated indoor air, tobacco smoke, or ambient urban air. Furthe ...

Determination of glass transition temperature and irradiation resistance of elastomeric materials based on chlorinated natural rubber

Budinski-Simendić, Jaroslava • Marinović-Cincović, Milena • Kojić, Dejan • Marković, Gordana • Pavličević, Jelena • Aroguz, Ayse • Samaržija-Jovanović, Suzana

Synthetic rubbers have different surface structures but benefit from chlorination. In many cases their tensile strength and extensibility is lower than natural rubber and for that reason more easily mechanically damaged. Chlorination reduces the coefficient of surface friction and handling characteristics. Residual free sulfur bloom during long-term storage of elastomeric products can also be diminished. Chlorinated natural rubber (CNR) as network precursor for elastomeric materials finds applic ...

VISUALIZATION OF GEOMETRIC OBJECTS USING PROGRAM PACKAGE MATHEMATICA

Ljajko, Eugen • Najdanović, Marija • Maksimović, Miroslav • Kontrec, Nataša

In geometry teaching, visualization is an indispensable method of work. Its importance is emphasized in the study of abstract theories when the human mind is not capable enough to perceive the regularities determined by complex mathematical formulas without adequate images illustrating the problem. This is also the case with the theory of infinitesimal bending, that has recently been explored and represented with the use of computers. Use of computers, as an indispensable didactic tool for moder ...
