Controlling the bandwidth of W-type plastic-clad silica optical fibers

Simović, Ana • Savović, Svetislav • Drljača, Branko • Djordjevich, Alexandar

A new design of a multimode plastic-clad silica optical fiber that takes the characteristic W-shaped index profile is proposed. The bandwidth and steady-state loss are determined for such a W-type plastic-clad silica optical fiber for the different structural parameters of the fiber. We have shown that the bandwidth of a W-type plastic-clad silica optical fiber is significantly higher (up to 15 times at a fiber length of 2 km) than the bandwidth of the singly clad step index plastic-clad ...

Two Interval Upper-Bound Q-Function Approximations with Applications

Perić, Zoran • Marković, Aleksandar • Kontrec, Nataša • Nikolić, Jelena • Petković, Marko • Jovanović, Aleksandra

The Gaussian Q-function has considerable applications in numerous areas of science and engineering. However, the fact that a closed-form expression for this function does not exist encourages finding approximations or bounds of the Q-function. In this paper, we determine analytically two novel interval upper bound Q-function approximations and show that they could be used efficiently not only for the symbol error probability (SEP) estimation of transmission over Nakagami-m fading channels, but a ...

Poly(dimethylsiloxane) modified polymers: Synthesis, structure and physical properties

Pergal, Marija • Balaban, Milica • Stanković, Dalibor • Petković, Branka

Poly(dimethylsiloxane)s (PDMS) have one of the lowest values of glass transition temperature among synthetic polymers, and indicate low-temperature flexibility, excellent thermal, thermo-oxidative and ultraviolet stability, very low surface energy, high hydrophobicity, high gas permeability and good biocompatibility. α,ω-Difunctionalized (or telechelic) PDMSs of low molecular weights are various starting prepolymers for the preparation of a wide variety of types of PDMS-based segmented copolymer ...

Stanković, Dalibor • Ognjanović, Miloš • Fabián, Martin • Viktorovich Avdin, Vyacheslav • Manojlović, Dragan • Vranješ Đurić, Sanja • Petković, Branka

The goal of this work was to develop green electrode material that unites all advantages of domestic made, synthesized porous carbon powder and ceria dioxide nanoparticles known due to exceptional catalytic properties. Thermal decomposition of Novolac phenol-formaldehyde resin and cerium sulfate resulting in producing a high-performance CeO2 porous carbon material highly sensitive to dopamine (DA) electrooxidation. Morphological and structural characteristics of the material were determined by ...

Dinuclear silver(I) complexes with a pyridine-based macrocyclic type of ligand as antimicrobial agents against clinically relevant species: the influence of the counteranion on the structure diversification o

New dinuclear silver(I) complexes with N,N’,N’’,N’’’-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (tpmc), [Ag2(NO3)(tpmc)]NO3·1.7H2O (1), [Ag2(CF3SO3)2(tpmc)] (2), and [Ag2(tpmc)](BF4)2 (3) were synthesized and characterized by NMR (1H and 13C), IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and molar conductivity measurements. The molecular structures of the complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The spectroscopic and crystallographic data showed ...

Knežević, Sara • Ognjanović, Miloš • Nedić, Nemanja • Mariano, José • Milanović, Zorana • Petković, Branka • Antić, Bratislav • Vranješ Djurić, Sanja • Stanković, Dalibor

In order to ensure high food quality, one of the prime importance is the detection and quantification of histamine, well known marine food poison. In this work, we constructed novel electrochemical biosensor for the detection of histamine based on gold nanoparticles decorated on manganese dioxide (Au/MnO2) and used for modification of screen-printed carbon electrode (Au/MnO2@SPCE). The constructed sensor was then used for the estimation of histamine content in a single drop. Materials used in th ...

First electrochemistry of herbicide pethoxamid and its quantification using electroanalytical approach from mixed commercial product

Jevtić, Sonja • Vukojević, Vesna • Đurđić, Slađana • Pergal, Marija • Manojlović, Dragan • Petković, Branka • Stanković, Dalibor

This work present a new approach for the detection of relatively new herbicide pethoxamid (POA), a first electrochemical behavior and determination based on its oxidation on boron-doped diamond electrode in Britton-Robinson buffer solution at pH 4. Square wave voltammetric technique was used for quantification of POA at anodic potential of 1.35 V vs reference Ag/AgCl electrode. The proposed electroanalytical method is operational in the linear working range from 3 to 100 μM of POA with a limit o ...

Evaluation of azamethiphos and dimethoate degradation using chlorine dioxide during water treatment

Pergal, Marija • Kodranov, Igor • Dojčinović, Biljana • Avdin, Viacheslav • Stanković, Dalibor • Petković, Branka • Manojlović, Dragan

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) degradation of the organophosphorus pesticides azamethiphos (AZA) and dimethoate (DM) (10 mg/L) in deionized water and in Sava River water was investigated for the first time. Pesticide degradation was studied in terms of ClO2 level (5 and 10 mg/L), degradation duration (0.5, 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h), pH (3.00, 7.00, and 9.00), and under light/dark conditions in deionized water. Degradation was monitored using high-performance liquid chromatography. Gas chromatography coupl ...

The homemade, porous carbon material, thermolysis prepared from Novolac phenol-formaldehyde resin, in situ modified with Co3O4 nanoparticles and mixed with single-wall carbon nanotubes, was used in selective sensing of prominent antioxidant α-lipoic acid (LA). XRD, SEM and EIS measurements were used for characterization of material composition, structure, morphology and improved conductivity. The quantification of LA at TPCo3O4&SWCNTCPE was done by a squarewave voltammetric technique in BR buff ...

Optimization and validation of the kinetic spectrophotometric method for quantitative determination of the pesticide atrazine and its application in infant formulae and cereal-based baby food

Pecev-Marinković, Emilija • Miletić, Ana • Tošić, Snežana • Pavlović, Aleksandra • Kostić, Danijela • Rašić Mišić, Ivana • Dekić, Vidoslav

BACKGROUND: Pesticides are potentially toxic to humans and can produce both acute and chronic health effects, depending on the quantity and the ways in which a person is exposed. Exposure to pesticides can cause serious health problems. Infants and young children are particularly sensitive to these contaminants because their brains and organ systems are not fully developed. For this reason, it is important to determine the quantities of pesticides in baby food. RESULTS: The aim of this study wa ...
