Abstract

Researchers in mathematical logic and knowledge based systems, graph theory, operational research, cryptology etc., have all made breakthroughs in developing solutions for many problems on which modern technology and everyday life depend. The practice in Serbia shows that results obtained by our scientists remained on a theoretical level. Thus, we propose a concerted effort towards developing ICT applications of these results with the main objectives to:

  • strengthen the S&T base in Serbia for the development of ICT as the core of the knowledge-based society and economy,

  • utilize the knowledge of advanced mathematical methods, commonly unfamiliar to engineers, for obtaining novel or significantly improving the existing ICTs,

  • help reduce the digital divide by unlocking the innovation and creativity of the partners. The project will focus on a limited set of challenges with a firm mathematical background. It will establish cooperation between research groups in mathematics, CS, engineering, telecommunications, and arts and humanities for mutual benefit. We will concern

  • ICT as the main research area, and its applications into some key socio-economic challenges (health, power systems, sharing of cultural resources) defined in the national strategy for science:

    • Contributions to prediction, prevention, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches (1.2),

    • New technologies for renewable energy sources and clean technology (2.2),

    • The cultural heritage, creating capital works (7.7).

Participants from Singidunum University: Verka Jovanović

Abstract

The study and interpretation of cultural interaction in the Danube area, research will be aimed at highlighting the role of rivers in shaping perceptions of Serbia in Europe. In this sense, theoretically, it is a imagological, and the methodological, interpretative work, which includes the launch of new theoretical questions, collecting material, analysis, interpretation and testing assumptions about the historical, cultural and geographical importance of the Danube region in Serbia. The significance of this work lies not only in the collection and interpretation of materials such as guides for the trip on the Danube, in travel literature, cartographic views of the Danube and other relevant materials, but also in examining the scale of cultural, economic, commercial and political importance of the river in Serbia and the region of Southeast Europe. Thus, from their point of view and disciplinary aspects, researchers will interpret the significance of the Danube in the development of Serbia and the Balkans, and provide new insights into the role of cultural contact, international relations, expansion of scientific, artistic, economic, political and, in general, the impact of civilization.

Matematički modeli nelinearnosti, neodređenosti i odlučivanja



Project duration: 2011-2019

Project code: 174009

Project coordinator: Singidunum University

Participants from Singidunum University: Endre Pap

Abstract

The main problem in today mathematical modeling is related to the nonlinearity of the considered problems mostly under uncertainty, and usually looking for optimal solution. Mathematical machinery initiated by many different applications, which cover all three mentioned aspects is pseudo-analysis, which requires an introduction of new real operations. Besides several properties and construction methods, also several kinds of aggregation functions will be introduced and examined. It will be investigated and developed further the notion of universal integral and many of important cases of it. There will be proved inequalities for nonlinear integrals (Jensen, Chebyshev, Hölder, Minkowski, Stolarsky). There will be introduced new types of integrals with respect to the absolutely monotone set functions. Further applications of of the pseudo-superposition principle for some new nonlinear PDEs will be managed. Based on countable extensions of the triangular norms fixed point theorems in probabilistic metric and fuzzy metric spaces will be proved. There will be managed new models, based on pseudo-analysis, in social sciences, transportations and imprecise spatial objects modeling. Using semi rings of bistochastic matrices there will be investigated the mobility index and related orderings, and the extension of the whole theory to continuous state Markov processes. Comparative analysis of existing causality measures applied to problems of brain connectivity will be performed.

Project duration: 2011-2019

Project code: 35024

Project coordinator: Faculty of mechanical engineering, University of Belgrade

Participants from Singidunum University: Dragan Cvetković

Abstract 

The subject of this project is improvement of the welding technology for micro-alloyed steels, in order to increase productivity and improve the quality of welded joints. It will be evaluated the following welding processes: a) SMAW, b) GMAW-MIG/MAG, c) FCAW-G with mixture of external shielding medium (Ar, CO2  and O2) and d) FCAW-S. In the mixtures of shielding gases the content of Ar, CO2 and O2 would be different, because the preliminary investigations executed in Fac. of Mech. Eng. in Belgrade showed that the appropriate choice of the shielding gas mixture composition can significantly affect the quality of the weld metal, and therefore the welded joint as a whole. Therefore, it is planned that the Project precisely defines the mix of shielding gases and to compare the obtained quality of welded joints with the quality of joints made by SMAW process. It was planned to made joints by FCAW-S process that is currently increasingly used worldwide in this area. It is also planned to investigate the influence of applied welding technologies on the properties of welded joints by different experimental methods: mechanical testing, metallographic examination and fractographic examination.

Project coordinator: The Institute for Multidisciplinary Research, University of Belgrade

Participants from Singidunum University: Slađana Spasić

Abstract 

Monitoring of the growing human impact on environment represents one of the research priorities in Europe. Recent studies show that less than 10% of all wastewater in Serbia is treated before being released into water bodies, which represents an actual threat for the quality of open waters in Serbia. Besides the influence of industrial and communal wastewater, open waters are also under the impact of runoff from arable land. Although it is not yet a member of EU, Serbia took measures which will contribute to fulfillment of basic goals of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD), to which it is obliged as a signatory of the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR), since this commission took responsibility for the implementation of WFD. As stated in the WFD, all qualitative parameters of aquatic ecosystem health, including biological parameters, should reach the satisfactory level by year 2015. In line with the WFD, fishes represent one of the most important elements of aquatic ecosystem biological quality, and should be used for the assessment of ecological status of rivers and other water bodies, where species composition, abundance, and age structure represent the minimal quantity of data that should be used in ecological status assessment. Furthermore, the condition factor and the data on fish population restoration and parasites are recommended by the WFD as supplementary parameters that should be analyzed.
