Quantization of Weights of Neural Networks with Negligible Decreasing of Prediction Accuracy

Perić, Zoran • Denić, Bojan • Savić, Milan • Dinčić, Milan • Mihajlov, Darko

Quantization and compression of neural network parameters using the uniform scalar quantization is carried out in this paper. The attractiveness of the uniform scalar quantizer is reflected in a low complexity and relatively good performance, making it the most popular quantization model. We present a design approach for the memoryless Laplacian source with zero-mean and unit variance, which is based on iterative rule and uses the minimal mean-squared error distortion as a performance criterion. ...

Anxiolytic-like Action of Selected 4-(Alkylamino)-3-nitrocoumarin Derivatives in BALB/c Mice

Randjelović, Pavle • Radulović, Niko • Stojanović, Nikola • Dekić, Vidoslav • Dekić, Biljana • Stojiljković, Nenad • Ilić, Sonja

In this work we explored the possible polypharmacological potential of the already established antimicrobials against gastrointestinal pathogens, 4-(alkylamino)-3-nitrocoumarins, as antianxiety agents, using a battery of in vivo experiments. Three chosen coumarin derivatives, differing in the substituent (sec-butylamino, hexadecylamino, or benzylamino) at position 4, at the doses of 25, 50 and 100 mg kg-1, were evaluated in light/dark, open-field, horizontal wire and diazepam-induced sleep model ...

Design and Analysis of Binary Scalar Quantizer of Laplacian Source with Applications

Perić, Zoran • Denić, Bojan • Savić, Milan • Despotović, Vladimir

A compression method based on non-uniform binary scalar quantization, designed for the memoryless Laplacian source with zero-mean and unit variance, is analyzed in this paper. Two quantizer design approaches are presented that investigate the effect of clipping with the aim of reducing the quantization noise, where the minimal mean-squared error distortion is used to determine the optimal clipping factor. A detailed comparison of both models is provided, and the performance evaluation in a wide ...

First electrochemical investigation of organophosphorus pesticide azametiphos and its quantification using electroanalytical approach

Vukojević, Vesna • Đurđić, Slađana • Jevtić, Sonja • Pergal, Marija • Marković, Aleksandar • Mutić, Jelena • Petković, Branka • Stanković, Dalibor

In this work, the electrochemical behaviour and the subsequent development of an analytical procedure for quantification of pesticide azamethiphos, using boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode are reported for the first time. It was found that azamethiphos electrochemical behaviour is irreversible oxidation at the potential of around 1.70 V, in 1 M nitric acid (pH 0). Also, it was found that potential of this oxidation was not pH dependent which can be attributed to the no proton involvement in el ...

A mini review of electroanalitical methods for pesticides quantification

Jevtić, Sonja • Stanković, Dalibor • Jokić, Anja • Petković, Branka

This review paper shows the progress made in the last five years in electrochemical methods applied for the purpose of detection and quantification of pesticides - nowadays the most serious pollutants of the environment. Most pesticides can be successfully analyzed by chromatographic techniques, but because of high prices and immobility of the apparatus, the complexity of the method and the necessary special preparation of the samples, electrochemical methods have been recognized as an excellent ...

Optimization and Validation of Kinetic-Spectrophotometric Technique for the Determination of Pesticide Dicamba in Infant Baby Foods Using Solid Phase Extraction Method

Pecev-Marinković, Emilija • Miletić, Ana • Pavlović, Aleksandra • Tošić, Snežana • Mitić, Milan • Rančić, Sofija • Dekić, Biljana

The objective of this paper was to develop and apply the kinetic-spectrophotometric method for the determination of the pesticide dicamba in infant baby foods available in Serbia. The method is based on the inhibition effect of dicamba on the oxidation of sulfanilic acid (SA) by hydrogen peroxide in universal buffer (pH = 9.66) in the presence of Co2+ ion. The reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically at 368 nm. The HPLC method was used as a comparative method to verify the results of the ki ...

Speaker Recognition Using Constrained Convolutional Neural Networks in Emotional Speech

Simić, Nikola • Suzić, Siniša • Nosek, Tijana • Vujović, Mia • Perić, Zoran • Savić, Milan • Delić, Vlado

Speaker recognition is an important classification task, which can be solved using several approaches. Although building a speaker recognition model on a closed set of speakers under neutral speaking conditions is a well-researched task and there are solutions that provide excellent performance, the classification accuracy of developed models significantly decreases when applying them to emotional speech or in the presence of interference. Furthermore, deep models may require a large number of ...

Characterization of new syntethesized Fe2O3 nanoparticles and their application as detection signal amplifiers in herbivide bentazone electroanalytical determination

Jokić, Anja • Petković, Branka • Jevtić, Sonja • Vasić, Vesna • Laban, Bojana

The iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3 NPs) were synthesized from two different iron salts by solid-state synthesis method. The synthesized powder of Fe2O3 NPs is soluble in water, and the colloidal dispersion was characterized by TEM, FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy and zeta potential measurements. Obtained NPs are spherical in shape with narrow particle size distribution and an average diameter of 3 nm. Further, the possible application of Fe2O3 NPs was proposed, due to significant electroanalytical si ...

A new longipinane ketone from Achillea abrotanoides (Vis.) Vis.: chemical transformation of the essential oil enables the identification of a minor constituent

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

Introduction: Minor plant constituents are difficult to identify due to the challenging isolation and acquiring of reliable spectral data. Essential oils abound in such minor constituents that might be of high importance for their (e.g. olfactory) properties. The presence of new minor constituents is usually inferred from gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses that provide only a mass spectrum and retention data, which are insufficient to allow a positive identification. Obj ...

Pergal, Marija • Kuč, Dragana • Kodranov, Igor • Pergal, Miodrag • Stanković, Dalibor • Petković, Branka • Manojlović, Dragan

In the present study, the degradation of azamethiphos using chlorine dioxide was studied. The optimization of the azamethiphos degradation in terms of chloriпe dioxide dosage, different time of degradation and at different рН values, was performed in system with deionized water. The degradation was monitored using high performance liquid chromatography (НPLC-DAD) analysis. It was found that complete degradation was achieved with optimal concentration of 5 mg/dm3 chlorine dioxide at concentration ...
