The aim of this study was to determine the quality of the mineral water from Vitinicki Kiseljak (Nos. 1 to 9, except No. 3) and Kozluk springs that are located near the town of Zvornik in the northwestern Republic of Srpska, BIH. The results were compared with those presented in previous reaserches in order to determine if the water quality has changed and if the water is still suitable for therapeutic purposes. The physicochemical (temperature, odor, pH value, total hardness, electro-conductivity, evaporated residue, suspended materials, chemical consumption of oxygen and KMnO4) and chemical (Fe2+, Mg2+, Mn2+,Zn2+, K+, Ca2+, Cu2+, Al3+, HCO3-, Cl-, CO32-, SiO2, SO42- and S2-) characteristics were analyzed. The obtained results showed that the waters could be classified as hydrocarbonate-sodium-chloride with the mineralization of 2450-5830 mg/dm3. It can also be concluded that the waters are rich in calcium, magnesium and iron, as well as that those are acidic waters due to the presence of free carbon dioxide. In the samples from Kozluk and Kiseljak No. 2 springs oxygen-sulphide is present as well. The ideal ratio of the minerals in these waters is suitable for therapeutical purposes.

This paper shows the results obtained in field analysis performed at the Tamis River, starting from the settlement Jasa Tomic - border between Serbia and Romania to Pancevo - confluence of Tamis into the Danube. The Tamis is a 359 km long river rising in the southern Carpathian Mountains. It flows through the Banat region and flows into the Danube near Pancevo. During the years the water quality of the river has severely deteriorated and badly affected the environment and the river ecosystem. In situ measurements enabled determination of physico-chemical parameters of water quality of the Tamis River on every 400 m of the watercourse, such as: water temperature, pH value, electrical conductivity, contents of dissolved oxygen and oxygen saturation. The main reason of higher pollution of Tamis is seen in connection to DTD hydro system. Sampling was performed at 7 points with regard to color, turbidity, total hardness, alkalinity, concentration of ammonium nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, iron, chlorides and sulphates in samples. The aim of the present work was to evaluate water quality in the Tamis River taking into account significant pollution, which originates from settlements, industry and agriculture, and to suggest appropriate preventive measures to further pollution decreasing of the river's water.

Groundwater samples were collected in Erode city, Tamilnadu, from an area having large number of textile dyeing units. Though people residing in this area use river water supplied by local bodies as their major source for drinking, groundwater is also used as complementary source. The samples collected were subjected to systematic analysis using the standard methods and procedures. The values obtained for different physicochemical parameters were compared with the standard values given by ISI/ WHO. Variations in many physicochemical parameters were observed for most of the samples when compared to the standard values. More than half of the samples collected had their EC, TDS, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, sulphate and chloride exceeding their acceptable limits. This attempt has been made to determine the quality of groundwater in the study area confirms the deterioration of groundwater quality in the area and calls for some effective measures to be taken urgently to minimize the adverse impacts that may occur due to the contamination of groundwater.

Abstract. Optimum detergent dosage during a washing process depends on water quality, degree of pollution and quantity of laundry. Particularly, water quality is an important factor. Other parameters like carbonate- or non-carbonate hardness and calcium / magnesium (Ca / Mg) ratio in addition to total hardness of water have an impact on the amount of detergent. This work discusses the possibilities realizing a detergent sensor that measures important parameters for the washing process and assess the ideal necessary amount of detergent during the washing process. The approach is to combine impedance spectroscopy with cyclic voltammetry in order to determine both water quality and concentration of detergent in the suds which build up the basis for an optimum detergent dosage. The results of cyclic voltammetry show that it is possible to identify the Ca / Mg ratio and the carbonate hardness separately, which is necessary for the optimization of the washing process. Impedance measurements identify total hardness and detergent concentrations.

The uniform Sr0.5Ba0.5Bi4Ti4O15 thin films were prepared using a modified Sol-Gel technique and the influence of precursor on the microstructure and characterization of thin films were studied. The stability and uniformity of precursor solution is key issue for the quality of thin films. Ethanolamine is an effective complexation reagent of Bi3+, which could moderate the acidity of precursor. When pH value and concentration of precursor solution was about 3.5 and 0.35M respectively, the smooth and uniform Sr0.5Ba0.5Bi4Ti4O15 thin films could be obtained. The Bi-layered perovskite structure of Sr0.5Ba0.5Bi4Ti4O15 formed at 750°C. The morphology of the grains in Sr0.5Ba0.5Bi4Ti4O15 thin films was elliptoid and the grain size was about 90 ~ 100 nm.

This study was undertaken to analyze the quality of goat milk based cheese particularly its potential high antioxidant content through fortification of goat milk with purple sweet potato extract. A completely randomized design was used to determine the characterization of goat milk based cheese quality through five levels i.e. 0% (A); 2% (B); 4% (C); 6% (D) and 8% w/v (E) of purple sweet potato extract fortification in goat milk. The results showed that the increased level of fortification by purple sweet potato extract in goat milk based cheese significantly increased the pH value of the cheese (P<0.05) where the highest pH was 6.20 at the level of 4%  w/v. Meanwhile, the yield and total of cheese acid were not affected by the fortification. The content of cheese protein significantly decreased (P<0.05) by the increasing level of fortification by purple sweet potato in goat milk. Goat milk-based cheese on the E treatment contained the lowest protein (19.42%). Functional potency of the cheese increased significantly (P<0.05) when the level of fortification was increased. The highest antioxidant content in goat milk based cheese was 114.47 mg/L. GAEAC at 8% w/v level. In conclusion, by increasing fortified goat milk by purple sweet potato extract up to 8% w/v was able to potentially produce cheese containing a high antioxidant.

This paper presents an analysis of the quality of groundwater that are exploited in the territory of the Mesic village in the factory "Moja voda" on the slopes of the Vrsac Mountains. Spring waters formed in the Tertiary and Quaternary sediments are situated near the high-grade metamorphic complex border of Vrsac Mountains that represents the northernmost prolongation of Serbo-macedonian massif to the West and low-grade metamorphic complex of the Ranovac-Vlasina-Osogovo terrane to the East. Groundwater is assigned on the basis of chemical analyses to the group of hydrocarbonate-calcium-magnesium non-carbonated low-mineral water, whose physical properties and chemical composition is the consequence of geological conditions of the environment through which circulates. The dominant anions and cations (HCO3 -, Ca2 + and Mg2 +) accumulate in groundwater of Mesic as a product of weathering of silicate minerals present in igneous and metamorphic complex of Vrsac Mountains. The specificity of these waters is an adequate amount of selenium in its composition related to the Tertiary and Quaternary clay deposits which have the pyrite and organic matter, as well as silica, whose presence in the water is a consequence of weathering (hydrolysis) of silicate minerals, particularly feldspar. Water from the exploration wells is classified as ?B reserve? according to the applicable criteria.
