Bib entry making maths letters lower case

Question

This question is about the reference format making letters inside maths $ $ into lower case. As they are in standard format I want them to be uppercase.

MWE:

\RequirePackage{fix-cm}


\documentclass[natbib,fleqn,smallextended]{svjour3}

\begin{filecontents}{sw_ref.bib}
@article{daon,
  title={ $\delta^{18}O$ and $\delta^{13}C$: },
  author={D},
  journal={Ers},
  volume={54},
  number={3},
  pages={545},
  year={2005},
  publisher={El}
}
@article{cow,
  title={$\delta^{13}C$  measurements},
  author={Coichael},
  journal={A},
  volume={48},
  number={7},
  pages={5781},
  year={2256},
  publisher={ACtions}
}
\end{filecontents}

The output (the stuff at the two ends of the red arrows should look the same):

Adding additional braces should prevent the lowercasing: {$\delta^{18}O$} and {$\delta^{13}C$}. BTW: the IUPAC recommends upright letters for atom symbols: {$\delta^{18}$O} and {$\delta^{13}$C} — cgnieder, Sep 27 '13 at 14:02
I tried both {$\delta^{18}O$} / {$\delta^{13}C$} and {$\delta^{18}$O} and {$\delta^{13}$C}. no change... Also $\delta^{18}O$ is a measured quantity and in fact should not be written as \ce{CO2} — ankhi, Sep 27 '13 at 14:31
Have you made the changes in the bib file directly? LaTeX won't rewrite it when you make the changes in the filecontents environment unless you add \usepackage{filecontents} before the environment. — cgnieder, Sep 27 '13 at 14:33
ok, I forgot to delete the generated .bib file........... both the options work now..... Thanks a lot!!!! :D — ankhi, Sep 27 '13 at 14:36
