DATA COLLECTION TOOL FOR PROCESS IDENTIFICATION USING PLC AND KEPWARE TOOLS

In this paper, we are using the Kepware tools as a data collection tool to collecting data for identifying the process and making the mathematical models is described in this paper. The connection to the process was made using a programmable logic controller like a real time DAQ (Data Acquisition Board and System) device, database and a client application developed for these purposes. Special attention is paid to the possibility of collecting a large amount of process data as the same moment time of data sampling

THE WINDER DANCER POSITION CONTROL MODEL USING DIFFERENT PID CONTROL STRUCTURES AND MICROLOGIX PLC

In the cable industry, improper regulation of the winding speed of the conductor cable, i.e. the position of the tensioner (dancer) leads to improper stretching of the conductor, which significantly affects the characteristics of the final product. Winding speed control is directly related to tensioning which is an additional problem. This paper presents a system for control a cable winding device using a linear PID controller with and without control signal limitation. The system parameters were determined using integral time-weighted absolute error (ITAE) criteria and realized using a conventional PLC controller

Cadmium in liver and kidneys of domestic Balkan and Alpine dairy goat breeds from Montenegro and Serbia

Concentrations of cadmium (Cd) were determined in the samples of 144 animals around 1 and of 144 animals around 4years old. Cd was analysed by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), after microwave digestion. Cd concentrations were higher (p lt 0.05) in kidney than in liver and higher (p lt 0.05) in older animals than in young ones. In domestic Balkan goat which was raised in a free-ranged system Cd accumulation was lower (p lt 0.05) than in Alpine goat raised in an intensive production system. Geographic region did influence Cd accumulation only in older animals. Higher Cd levels (p lt 0.05) were determined in goats from Serbia. The highest obtained Cd concentrations in both tissues were lower than maximum levels set by European and national legislation for ruminants (cattle and sheep).This is the peer-reviewed version of the following article: Tomović, V.; Jokanović, M.; Tomović, M.; Lazović, M.; Šojić, B.; Škaljac, S.; Ivić, M.; Kocić-Tanackov, S.; Tomašević, I.; Martinović, A.

The Effect of Cantharellus Cibarius Addition on Quality Characteristics of Frankfurter during Refrigerated Storage

The antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of Cantharellus cibarius decoction and the effect of mushroom addition on the physicochemical and microbiological properties of frankfurters during refrigerated storage were studied. Mushroom addition significantly reduced (p lt 0.05) the formation of total aerobic mesophilic bacteria during storage. Regarding the texture, there was no negative effect in frankfurters with the mushroom added, compared to the control group of sausages. Generally, C. cibarius can be used as a natural ingredient in order to prevent the growth of microorganisms in cooked pork sausages, causing an extension in shelf life during chilled storage

THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN PELVIC FRACTURES (RING AND ACETABULUM FRACTURES) AND OTHER ORGAN SYSTEM INJURIES

Pelvic fractures are often associated with injuries of intra-abdominal organs and intrathoracic injuries. Between January 1, 2004 and June 31, 2009, at the Clinic for Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Clinical Center Niš, 216 patients with pelvic disruption were treated. All patients were evaluated according to sex, age, mechanism of injury, anatomical injury scale (AIS), injury severity scale (IIS), type of fracture, method of treatment, associated injuries of visceral organs, duration of hospitalization and monitoring of the patient check-ups. The aim of this work was to determine the frequency of occurrence of intra-abdominal and intrathoracic injuries in patients with pelvic fractures and to study the relationship between different types of fractures. In the analyzed group there were 116 (53.7%) male patients and 100 (46.3%) female patients. The average age of patients was 45.3 years. In total, there were 139 isolated fractures of the pelvis. In relation to the mechanism of injury, 153 patients had sustained low energy trauma, while 63 patients had sustained high energy trauma. In the group of patients with the fracture of the pelvis sustained under the force of low intensity, 17 patients had fallen from the ladder, whereas 136 patients had fallen at home. In patients with the injury that occurred under the force of high intensity, 49 patients were injured in car accidents, and 14 had fallen from a great height. Combined injuries of intra-abdominal and intrathoracic organs with pelvic fracture were observed in 28 (12.9 %) patients

Spontaneous acute spinal subdural hematoma in patient on oral anticoagulant therapy: A rare case report

Introduction: Spontaneous spinal subdural hematoma as a result of coagulation deficit is a very rare and serious condition, with an overall incidence of less than 1%. Symptoms can vary according to the level of the bleed. Prompt recognition of the presence of spinal subdural hematoma is crucial for treatment. MRI is the investigation of choice for diagnosis as well as for planning the surgery. The differential diagnosis includes abscess, lipomatosis, significant discal hernia and tumours. There are no definite guidelines for the management of spinal subdural hematomas. In cases with serious neurological deficits, prompt surgical evacuation may lead to the resolution of symptoms and complete neurological recovery. Case report: We present a case of a 75-years-old man with bilateral lower limb radiculopathy, paresthesias, and spinal claudications for four days, progressing to bilateral paraplegia with urine incontinency. The patient was diagnosed with cauda equina syndrome due to spontaneous spinal subdural hematoma in the region from Th12 to L2. He was immediately operated and the subdural hematoma was evacuated. Minimal recovery was achieved and the patient was referred for further rehabilitation with severe paraparesis and urine incontinence. Conclusion: Early diagnosis of spinal subdural hematoma is essential for treatment. Any delay of correct diagnosis can lead to a devastating neurological deficit. Spontaneous spinal subdural hematoma is one of the rare conditions where an emergency MRI is indicated and crucial for diagnosis

Cadmium and lead in female cattle livers and kidneys from Vojvodina, northern Serbia

Concentrations of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) were determined in livers (n=52) and kidneys (n=52) of female cattle (345-2717days old) from dairy farms in the region Vojvodina. Cd and Pb were analysed by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry, after microwave digestion. Cd and Pb concentrations did not exceed the Serbian and European maximum set limits in any sample. The Cd concentrations in the livers and kidneys ranged from 0.033 to 0.151mgkg(-1) wet weight and from 0.055 to 0.510mgkg(-1) wet weight, respectively. The corresponding Pb concentrations were 0.015-0.159mgkg(-1) wet weight and 0.021-0.196mgkg(-1) wet weight, respectively. Mean Cd and Pb concentrations were significantly lower (p lt 0.001) in the liver (0.072 and 0.053mgkg(-1) wet weight) than in the kidney (0.190 and 0.075mgkg(-1) wet weight). There were good correlations between Cd in liver and Cd in kidney, Pb in liver and Pb in kidney, Cd level and age and Pb level and age in both tissues

Application of porcini mushroom (Boletus edulis) to improve the quality of frankfurters

The antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of Boletus edulis decoction and the effect of mushroom addition on the physicochemical and microbiological properties of frankfurters during refrigerated storage were studied. The addition of mushroom delayed the increase in the total number of aerobic mesophilic microorganisms during the storage. The incorporation of B. edulis in cooked sausages resulted in the significantly higher hardness of frankfurters in comparison with control, during chilled storage. Mushroom addition significantly affected the color of sausages throughout storage, but no deficiencies in sensory acceptance test were obtained. Generally, this mushroom can be used as a natural antioxidant to interfere with microorganism growth and extend the shelf life of cooked pork sausages during refrigerated storage. Practical applications In this study, the addition of B. edulis has proven to be a potent antioxidant and antimicrobial ingredient that extends the shelf life of frankfurters. That could be an interesting finding in potentially reducing or replacing commercial antioxidants with a natural, healthier variant of food additives

Edible offal quality of Swallow-Belly Mangalica pigs reared under an intensive production system Investigations on pigs slaughtered at 100 kg live weight

The physical characteristics (pH(24h) and CIEL *a*b* values) and proximate (moisture, protein, total fat, total ash content) and mineral (K, P, Na, Mg, Ca, Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn) composition were determined in tongue, heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidney, brain and spinal cord belonging to Swallow-Belly Mangalica pigs reared under an intensive production system and slaughtered at 100 kg live weight. The type of edible offal had a significant effect (P lt 0.001) on all investigated traits. Tongue had the lowest pH(24h), moisture, total ash and P content. The highest content of Mg and lowest ClEb* value and K content were found in heart. Lungs had the highest pH(24h), ClEa* and ClEb* values, and the lowest Mg and Mn contents. Protein, Zn, Cu and Mn contents were the highest, and Na and Ca contents were the lowest in liver. Spleen had the highest moisture, K and Fe contents, and the lowest CIEL* (darkest offal) value, total fat and Cu content. The highest content of Na was found in kidney. The lightest color (CIEL* value), the highest content of total fat, total ash, P and Ca, and the lowest ClEa* value and content of protein, Fe and Zn, were found in spinal cord
