    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[CAN CONCRETE BE GREEN IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA?]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Bosnia and Herzegovina ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate  Change (UNFCCC) on May 17, 2000. The Kyoto Protocol was signed and ratified by the  governments of 192 states and territories in the world. The Kyoto Protocol was ratified by  Bosnia and Herzegovina on April 22, 2007, after completion of ratification procedures of all  government levels. The First National Report of Bosnia and Herzegovina in accordance to the  UNFCCC was issued in 2009 and the Second National Report of Bosnia and Herzegovina in  accordance to the UNFCCC was adopted by B&amp;H Council of Ministers in July 2013. The  main goal of the Kyoto Protocol is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to environment what  caused many to focus on CO2 emissions as the most critical environment impact indicator.  Concrete is by far the most widely used construction material worldwide. One of its major  components is Portland cement as a binder. Total production of cement in Bosnia and  Herzegovina is about 850,000 tons in 2012, while fresh concrete production and concrete  products amount approximately to 1,300,000 tons in 2012. Taking in consideration that  production of every ton of cement yields to approximately 0.9 tons of CO2 and every cubic  meter of concrete contains about ten percent by weight of cement, significant quantity of CO2  is produced by cement industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is estimation in 2001, that  cement industry emissions of CO2 represented around 4 percent of total CO2 emissions by  energy and industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, substituting significant amounts of  cement in concrete mixture with industrial by-products such as silica fume, fly ash and blast  furnace slag also leads to minimization of cement consumption, even producing more durable  concrete. This paper discuss possibilities in decreasing CO2 emissions in cement and concrete  industry, as well as necessity of following directions of green and sustainable building in  Bosnia and Herzegovina.  Key Words: CO2 emission, cement, concrete, green buildings]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[RETROTRANSPOSON BASED MARKERS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS  IN BARLEY (Hordeum vulgare L.cvs.) TISSUE CULTURE]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Barley has economical value and it is an important model plant. Transposons cover more than  80% of barley genome. More than 40 retrotransposons were characterized in barley genome.  This type of transposons replicate via RNA and move in the genome. As a result of these  movements, mutations and genome enlargements are occurred. During the recent years, active  transcripts and protein products of some retrotransposons have been determined. Somaclonal  variations are spontaneously occurred variations in tissue culture conditions. These variations  could be produced by genetic and/or epigenetic mechanisms and result in problems in gen  transfer applications. We investigated the retrotransposon movements in barley tissue culture  and regenerated plantlets using inter retrotransposon amplified polymorphism (IRAP), inter  primer binding side (iPBS) and analytical techniques (DNA and RNA levels) and determined  the relationship between retrotransposon movements, changes in copy number and  differention in culture conditions. For these purposes BARE1, NIKITA, BAGY2 and  SUKKULA retrotransposons were analyzed. Our research results show that tissue culture  conditions and time increase the transposon based variation and copy numbers of  retrotransposons and thus, cause genome enlargements. This research will be contribute the  understanding of basic mechanisms related to plant development and differentiation in  cultured material and also restriction of variations in applications.  Keywords: Barley, Tissue Culture, Retrotransposon markers, Somaclonal variation]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[EFFECTS OF VEGETABLE AND ANIMAL FAT ENRICHMENT IN BROILER  FEED ON CONTENT OF FATTY ACIDS IN WHITE AND RED MEAT]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In order to gain a more complete insight into the effects of vegetable and animal fat  enrichment in broiler feed on content of fatty acids in meat, an experimental research has been  conducted on 240 Cobb 500female broilers, divided into four separate treatments of 60  broilers each. The experiment was conducted in the period of 42 days. During that period, the  first group of broilers was fed with 3% pork fat enriched feed – treatment 1, second group was  fed with 3% soy oil enriched feed – treatment 2, third group with 3% bovine tallow –  treatment 3, and fourth group with 3% sunflower oil – treatment 4. The content of fatty acids  in red and white broiler meat was determined by the gas chromatography method. The content  of saturated fatty acids in the red meat was not of statistical significance (p&gt;0.05), the content  of monounsaturated fatty acids was of statistical significance (p&lt;0.05), while the content of  polyunsaturated fatty acids in the red broiler meat was of high statistical significance (p&lt;0.01)  with reference to the applied feeding treatments. The content of saturated fatty acids in the  white meat was not of statistical significance (p&gt;0.05), while the content of monounsaturated  and polyunsaturated fatty acids in white broiler meat was of high statistical significance  (p&lt;0.01) with reference to the applied feeding treatments. The n-6/n-3 fatty acids ratio in red  broiler meat was determined as follows: treatment 1 - 19.3:1; treatment 2 - 16.0:1; treatment 3  - 20.5:1; treatment 4 - 12.9:1. The n-6/n-3 fatty acids ratio in white broiler meat was:  treatment 1 - 20.3:1, treatment 2 –16.1:1, treatment 3 –17.6:1 and treatment 4 –12.2:1.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[MULTI-RESOLUTION WAVELET ANALYSIS FOR FAULT DETECTION]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this study, a multi-resolution wavelet analysis technique is applied to simulation data for  fault detection. Data is simulated at the MATLAB environment. For this purpose, a sinusoidal  wave form is generated at around 1 kHz sampling frequency and then a faulty case is  simulated between 250- 500 Hz using a random process under the band-pass filtering. Hence  data and its noisy form are used to show healthy and faulty cases of any physical system  respectively. In order to show the fundamental properties of the data set, power spectral  density variations are shown to indicate the availability of the data. After that Multi–  Resolution Wavelet Analysis (MRWA) is applied to each case. In general, wavelet transform  is a time-scale analysis technique which can be accepted as an alternative method to the  Fourier transform. However, in this study, MRWA approach is considered. MRWA is a kind  of the discrete wavelet transform and it uses filter banks approach. Hence, the time domain  properties are shown in the sense of the statistical parameters. Also, calculating the power  spectral densities, this comparison is done in frequency domain. With this way, a faulty case  and its some properties can be determined at both of the time and frequency domains.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Direct Torque Control (DTC) is a preferred method for its fast torque response and easy  implementation in induction motor (IM) applications. However varying switching frequency  and current harmonics are the drawbacks of the method. There are many industrial  applications already using DTC. In this study, a novel switching table is proposed to reduce  current harmonics based on torque-flux plane that can be applied to current motor drives with  software modification, rather than a hardware advancement. The study is illustrated with  Simulink model and motor output results.  Keywords: Direct Torque Control, Torque-Flux Plane, Total Harmonic Distortion, Vector  Selection Table.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[ANALYSIS OF MAGNETIC FIELD EFFECTS OF  UNDERGROUND POWER CABLES ON HUMAN HEALTH]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Transmission and distribution lines of electrical energy are generally used to plant far from  residential areas. But today, due to the growing population, the cities considerably expanded  and electrical network have to lie within the living spaces. Especially, uses of medium voltage  underground cables for distribution systems become widespread in such areas. The voltage  levels of these cables are not too high and the electric field caused by the voltage is fairly  shielded by the cable’s screen. However, by the reason of flowing load current through the  cable’s conductor, low frequency magnetic fields occur around the cable. It is known that this  magnetic field strength becomes greater with increasing current. Basically, shielding of low  frequency magnetic fields is quite harder than shielding the electric fields. In case of being  exposed to this kind of magnetic fields by people may lead to crucial health problems.  Therefore, some limit values are introduced by the “International Commission On  Non‐Ionizing Radiation Protection” (ICNIRP) and “The Institute of Electrical and Electronics  Engineers” (IEEE). For this reason, it has importance of measuring magnetic fields caused by  high voltage cables (HVC) in urban areas and the required shielding measures should be taken  if needed. In this study, magnetic field strengths at different points above a 12/20 kV, 150  mm2 (Al), single core HVC are measured for different current values. According to the results  obtained, even at low currents, the magnetic field strength values could exceed the limiting  values for certain distances.
