AB  - Dithiocarbamates (DTC) are among the most commonly used in the world. In the Republic of Serbia almost 300 active substances are registered including five dithiocarbamate fungicides (ziram, mancozeb, metiram, propineb and tiram). For raspberry protection from fungal diseases, only mancozeb combined with metalaxylM (Ridomil Gold MZ 68-WG; mankozeb 640 g/kg + metalaxyl-M 40 g/kg), of all dithiocarbamates, is authorized for use in the Republic of Serbia. Dithiocarbamates present in food can be of health concern. They have at least three modes of toxic action. These include: (a) the capacity to generate carbon disulfide (CS2), (b) biotransformation into ethylenethiourea (ETU), (c) the ability to chelate physiologically important ions (e. g., copper). The Serbian government authorities adapted the maximum residue levels (MRLs) to the MRLs set by the European Union in 2010 (The Official gazette 27/2010) but dithiocarbamate levels were not set for all agricultural products. The MRLs for dithiocarbamates in raspberries (dithiocarbamates expressed as CS2, including maneb, mancozeb, metiram, propineb, thiram and ziram) in the EU and the Republic of Serbia is 0.05 mg/kg. The paper presents the method validation results and the results of dithiocarbamate monitoring study. Our study comprised the determination of the dithiocarbamate residues content in 103 raspberry samples from the market of the Republic of Serbia taken during 2007/2010. Over 20% of samples were above the MRLs (0.05 mg/kg), with the highest detected concentration of 0.8 mg/kg. The headspace GC/MS multi-residue method, based on the analysis of carbon disulphide obtained after the treatment of analytes with hydrochloric acid in the presence of tin (II) chloride was used. The averaged recovery from raspberries was spiked in the range of 0.05 - 1.25 mg/kg, is 91.35%. The limits of detection (LOD = 3 x sigma baseline noise) and quantification (LOQ = 10 x sigma baseline noise) were approximately 0.01 and 0.03 mg/kg, respectively. The linearity obtained without matrix was R-2=0.992, and with matrix was R-2=0.999. The matrices did not have interfering peaks in the time of CS2 elution.

AB  - Cormorants cause damage to fish in aquaculture not only by consuming large number of fish but also by wounding them. Quantification of the actual damage in fish induced by wounding is important for reliable estimations of the overall loss in aquaculture caused by cormorants. In this study, specimens of mirror and scaly carp ( L.) injured by attacks of great cormorant ( L.) were collected from the "Eka" fish farm in Serbia. Surfaces of superficial and open subepithelial wounds (expressed as a percent of the total body surface), estimated by computer-assisted image analysis, had mean values 10.66 +/- A 1.86 and 0.85 +/- A 0.90, respectively. Histological evaluation of wounds was performed by two scoring systems: system proposed by Bernet et al. (J Fish Dis 22:25-34, 1999) and modified system described by Wahli et al. (Aquaculture 225:371-386, 2003). The most frequent histopathological changes were disturbed epidermal structure and surface cell morphology and increased number of club cells (on more than 75% of specimens); increased number of melanocytes and their distribution in different layers in dermis; and enlarged hypodermis (more than 80% of samples) and myolysis (50% of samples). Comparison of wounds' surfaces (surface of superficial injures) and histopathological changes, estimated by two scoring systems, revealed significant positive correlation. Bernet's scoring system showed higher correlation coefficients, when compared with the modified Wahli's scoring system.

AB  - During electrodeposition of Ag-Cd alloy coatings phenomena of self-organization and formation of spatio-temporal structures can be observed. The difficulties in the determination of the local phase composition in the observed structures are mostly connected with the strong heterogeneity of the coatings consisting of several alloy phases. The results obtained with electrochemical techniques, such as anodic linear sweep voltammetry (ALSV) are compared with results obtained by X-ray analysis and SEM. In the proposed electrolyte for dissolution of Ag-Cd alloy coatings (12 M LiCl + 0.1 M HCl) the dissolution peaks of the pure metals, Ag and Cd, have a potential difference of about 700 mV. The peaks, corresponding to the alloy phases, are situated between the dissolution potentials of Ag and Cd, their height depending on the deposition current density, i.e. on the percentage content of the alloy. Different phases (Ag. Ag3Cd, AgCd, AgCd3 and pure Cd) are observed in the coatings deposited at different cathodic potentials. A good correlation between the XRD spectra of the Ag-Cd alloy coatings and the ALSV data obtained during their dissolution is established.

AB  - In this work, manganese zinc ferrite components were manufactured by powder injection molding-PIM technology. A fine powder consisting of Mn1-xZnxFe2O4 with small addition of hematite alpha-Fe2O3 as used in mass ferrite production was mixed with an organic binder (Solvent System) to form ferrite feedstock for powder injection molding-PIM technology. Excess of Fe2O3 was present in the starting powder in order to suppress conversion of Fe3+ to Fe2+ ions which would lower the permeability. The ferrite feedstock was injected in a mold with a cavity shaped like a small cylinder with a hole on the main axis. Injection molded samples were then solvent and thermally debinded and sintered in different atmospheres: air, argon and nitrogen. The starting powder, injected green samples and sintered samples were characterized using X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis as well as by magnetic measurements. Rietveld refinement of measured X-ray patterns was done to detect possible phase transformations of Fe2O3 to other iron oxides through reduction by binder residues (carbon) at elevated temperatures during thermal debinding and sintering. Finally, the magnetic properties were measured by hysteresis graph and mutually compared for the injected samples that were sintered in air, argon and nitrogen. The obtained magnetic characteristics where found to be comparable with commercial samples prepared by traditional sintering technology.
