This paper presents the basic chemical characteristics of buckminsterfullerene-molecule CM60 and some of its biologically active derivatives. This new form of carbon with unique properties, discovered in 1985, is a very reactive species undergoing a variety of chemical reactions leading to a wide spectrum of possible covalent derivatives. Besides covalent compounds, fullerene reacts with different dopants to form non-covalent complexes, including endohedral, exohedral systems (intercalates). The review of the most significant papers on noncovalent and covalent derivatives and their biological activity is given, as well as our results in this field. Formation of intercalates of fullerene with small molecules of aliphatic alcohols is described and the importance of topology and size of dopants and the role of solvents in formation of intercalates is explained. Original synthesis of bromine derivative C60Br24 and water-soluble polyhydroxy derivative C60(OH)24 is described. Antioxidative effects of the latter compound were investigated in chemical model system and in vitro system of human neoplasmatic cells. The paper also gives theoretical explanation of addition C60R24 derivatives together with assumption about antioxidative activity of fullerol. .

The paper deals with Paleogene bauxite of the Adriatic-Dinaridic carbonate platform. bauxite of Herzegovina, their stratigraphy as well as duration of bauxitogenetic processes are paticularly concerned. Within the sedimentary hetterogenic hanging wall complex, which is relevant for determination of stratigraphic position of bauxite, the carbonate and clactic complex have been contemporary. Going from the west to east the baseal parts of transgressive sequences become younger thus indicatinh that the transgression expanded in the same direction. Bauxitogenetic processes lasted continually during the Lower and Middle Paleogene and bauxite deposits were formed in those places and in that particular time were and when the favourable paleogeological conditions werw established

Angular momentum is important concept in physics, and its phase space properties are important in various applications. In this work phase space analysis of the angular momentum is made from its classical definition, and by imposing uncertainty principle its quantum properties are obtained. It is shown that kinetic energy operator is derived, but it has different interpretation of its parts than in the standard treatment. Rigid rotor is discussed and it is shown what is its phase space representation. True rigid rotor is defined and also its phase space properties are discussed.

Seismotectonically active zones are formed due to displacements of segments of the Adriatic micro-plate that differ in size and in their rate of movement, and by the resistance of the rock masses of the Dinarides. The spatial position of these zones can be determined through the locations of earthquake foci. The zones of seismotectonic activity are then correlated with the most important faults on the surface. The seismotectonically active zones are relatively steeply inclined in the shallowest 10-20 km, which is caused by the oblique contacts between the Adriatic micro-plate and the Dinarides. The zones are curved at depth in many cases, which reflects the compression of the area. Curved parts of the zones are characterised by the greatest pressures and also by the most frequent earthquakes. Mildly inclined zones reflect the reverse displacements in the area, also probably the activity on contacts between rock masses of different density, or the extension of the Adriatic micro-plate subduction. The southern part of the plate is the most active. The greatest pressures caused by these movements occur in the area between Mljet island and Dubrovnik. Therefore the majority of earthquakes, and notably the strongest ones, occur in the area between Split, Imotski, Hvar island and Dubrovnik, as well as along the Montenegro coast in a SE direction.

The dipole moments of the leptons and quarks are matrices in flavor space, which can potentially reveal as much about the flavor structure of the theory as do the mass matrices. The off-diagonal elements of the dipole matrices lead to flavor-changing decays such as {mu}{yields}e{gamma}, while the imaginary parts of the diagonal elements give rise to electric dipole moments. We analyze the scaling of the leptonic dipole moments with the lepton masses in theories beyond the standard model. While in many models the dipole moments scale roughly as lepton mass, it is shown that simple models exist in which the dipoles scale as the cube of the mass or in other ways. An explicit example with cubic scaling is presented, which is motivated on independent grounds from large angle neutrino oscillation data. Our results have great significance for the observability of the electric dipole moments d{sub e}, d{sub {mu}}, d{sub {tau}}, and the rare decays {mu}{yields}e{gamma}, and {tau}{yields}{mu}{gamma} and will be tested in several forthcoming experiments.
