Procurement model for copper and polymer electrical products

Procurement model for copper and polymer electrical products. Electrical cable structure (wire, insulation, filling and mantle) is in accordance with the technical specifications of individual cable components in terms of the incorporated materials. Materials used in cable manufacture are copper, aluminum, rubber and polyvinyl chloride. One of the key issues in managing the flow of goods pertains to the timing of procurement. The combination of the two concepts can take advantage of individual strengths of fuzzy logic and neural networks in hybrid systems of homogeneous structure. The model has high practical significance, as, with minor modifications, it can be applied in any enterprise responsible for managing the goods flows

Response of the Adriatic Sea to the atmospheric anomaly in 2003

Unusual weather conditions over the southern Europe and the Mediterranean area in 2003 significantly impacted the oceanographic properties of the Adriatic Sea. To document these changes, both in the atmosphere and the sea, anomalies from the normal climate were calculated. The winter 2003 was extremely cold, whereas the spring/summer period was extremely warm. The air temperature in June was more than 3 standard deviations above the average. On the other hand, precipitation and river runoff were extremely low between February and August. The response of the sea was remarkable, especially in surface salinity during spring and summer, with values at least one standard deviation above the average. Analysis of thermohaline properties in the middle Adriatic showed the importance of two phenomena responsible for the occurrence of exceptionally high salinity: (1) enhanced inflow of saline Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) in the Adriatic, and (2) extremely low precipitation and river runoff, accompanied with strong evaporation. Two large-scale atmospheric indices: NAOI (North Atlantic Oscillation Index) and MOI (Mediterranean Oscillation Index), although generally correlated to the Adriatic climate, failed to describe anomalies in 2003. The air pressure gradients used for the definition of both indices significantly decreased in 2003 due to the presence of the high pressure areas over most of Europe and the northern Atlantic, and were actually responsible for the observed anomalies above and in the Adriatic

ISPITIVANJE VALIDNOSTI EMPIRIJSKOG TRETMANA SUPERFICIJALNOG BAKTERIJSKOG FOLIKULITISA PASA

Superfi cijalni bakterijski folikulitis predstavlja najčešću piodermiju pasa, i unajvećem broju slučajeva uzrokovan je gram-pozitivnom vrstom Staphylococcuspseudintermedius. Terapija ovog oboljenja obično obuhvata kombinaciju topikalne(antibakterijski šampon) i sistemske antibiotske terapije. Izbor antibiotika zavisiod mnogo faktora, pre svega da li se infekcija javlja prvi put ili je rekurentna, kaoi od toga da li je fokalna ili generalizovana, površinska ili duboka. Najbolji je izborantibiotika prema antibiogramu, ali kod nekomplikovanih superfi cijalnih infekcijamožemo empirijski odabrati antibiotik. U našoj zemlji u skorije vreme nije rađenastudija vezana za ispitivanje najčeščih uzročnika superfi cijalnih bakterijskih folikulitisapasa, kao i njihove osetljivosti na određene antibiotike. U izvedenom ispitivanju,kod 87% pasa piodermiju su izazvali sojevi Staphylococcus pseudintermediuskoji nisu pripadali kategoriji MRS, u 9% su izolovani sojevi meticilin-rezistentnihStaphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) i u 4% slučajeva (jedan soj) meticilin-rezistentanStaphylococcus haemolyticus (MRSH). Svi sojevi (100%) Staphylococcuspseudintermedius koji nisu pripadali kategoriji MRSP bili su osetljivi na amoksicilinsa klavulanskom kiselinom, a 90% sojeva je bilo osetljivo na cefaleksin. Kod 80%ispitivanih sojeva, dokazana je osetljivost na gentamicin, 75% pokazalo je osetljivostna ciprofl oksacin i enrofl oksacin. Prema dobijenim rezultatima, prvi izbor u terapijinekomplikovanih bakterijskih folikulitisa predstavljaju amoksicilin sa klavulanskomkiselinom i cefaleksin, koji su kod nas prisutni u vidu tableta i registrovani su zaveterinarsku upotrebu
