Rentgenová počítačová tomografie je metoda sloužící ke 3D zobrazování vnitřní struktury objektů. Mikrostruktura objektů ukrývá důležité informace, které mohou být použity k jejich charakterizaci. Tato práce podává spojení mezi datasety získanými pomocí rentgenové počítačové mikrotomografie a oblastí statistického zpracování dat. Výstupem metody, pak bude klasifikace vzorků na základě informací o jejich mikrostruktuře. Z výsledků klasifikace vzorků, pak můžeme vyvodit různé hypotézy týkající se původu vzorků. Tato práce by mimo jiné mohla sloužit jako takový nový vhled do problematiky kombinace dat různého původu, pomocí metod statistické analýzy.

The diploma thesis deals with sensory evaluation of selected types of meat products, specifically sausages. Different types of sausages, which contained added chemicals and spices, were compared. The theoretical part describes the properties of meat and meat products and the basic technological procedures used for their processing and production. Furthermore, added substances and spices, which are often considered as flavorings or preservatives, were characterized. The principles of correct performance of sensory analysis and sensory perception of food were also presented, which include a description of the sensory workplace, sample preparation, its implementation, procedure and various evaluation methods used. The experimental part describes the specific work tools used and the conditions under which the evaluation took place. A total of 12 types of sausages were evaluated, 7 of which came from meat production and 5 were prepared in the laboratory of food chemistry at Brno University of Technology. The differences between the samples of sausages, which differed in content and type of added chemicals and spices, were clearly shown using ray graphs. Then the Grubbs test was used, which excluded outliers from the final evaluation. These values were further excluded from further evaluation. The Kruskall-Wallis test was used to distribute the resulting mean values and to determine whether there was a statistically significant difference in sensory evaluation between the results. An appendix to the Kruskall-Wallis test Dunn's test was used to divide the resulting values into given groups according to statistically significant difference and similarity. The analysis of the main components of the so-called PCA was used to find the differences and similarities of the samples included in the groups.

This thesis deals with multi-channel methods of speech enhancement. Multichannel methods of speech enhancement use a few microphones for recording signals. From mixtures of signals, for example, individual speakers can be separated, noise should be reduced etc. with using neural networks. The task of separating speakers is known as a cocktail-party effect. The main method of solving this problem is called independent component analysis. At first there are described its theoretical foundation and presented conditions and requirements for its application. Methods of ICA try to separate the mixtures with help of searching the minimal gaussian properties of signals. For the analysis of independent components are used different mathematical properties of signals such as kurtosis and entropy. Signals, which were mixed artificially on a computer, can be relatively well separated using, for example, FastICA algorithm or ICA gradient ascent. However, difficult is situation, if we want to separate the signals created in the real recording enviroment, because the separation of speech people speaking at the same time in the real environment affects other various factors such as acoustic properties of the room, noise, delays, reflections from the walls, the position or the type of microphones, etc. Work presents aproach of independent component analysis in the frequency domain, which can successfully separate also recordings made in the real environment.

This thesis introduces company ABB Brno and its products. It describes the manufacturing process of a switchgear and it is focused at working procedures at particular points of the assembly line. The main part analyzes the root causes of the incompleteness of switchgears in the relation to the components availability. Time footprint was worked out. As a conclusion the proposal of changes in manufacturing process to improve the level of completeness are stated.

The resume of this master´s thesis is to introduce reader into principal component analysis (PCA), namely, the use of PCA for analysis of ECG. This method allows to reduce quantity of the data without loss of useful information. That is why PCA is widespread for preprocessing of the data for further classification, which this thesis also deals. Data available at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Technology in Brno were used in this work. All the methods were realized using Matlab.

This diploma thesis cover with the management of aircraft maintenance, one specific airline which operating with aircraft SAAB 340. Especially I dedicated to the maintenance and troubleshooting on the aircraft found during the operation. Contents diploma thesis consists of three parts. The first part describes the basic elements and concepts in the field of aircraft maintenance and related regulations. The next part describes the company which operating the aircraft for commercial transport, approach to the maintenance of its own fleet, together with the methodology for recording faults or malfunctions found during the operation. In the last part, I am cover with assessment of the system recording and troubleshooting.

The diploma thesis deals with multivariate statistical methods and their environmental applications. The theoretical part is devoted to selected methods of linear regression analysis, method of principal components and the model of classical and robust factor analysis is also described. In the practical part of thesis, the main emission sources of PM1 aerosols in summer and winter period in Brno and Šlapanice are determined by using the classical factor analysis. The main aerosol emission sources in summer and winter in Šlapanice are also identified by using the robust factor analysis. Furthermore, the prediction of concentrations of PM1 aerosols in summer and winter period in Brno and Šlapanice is performed by using the linear regression model.

The dissertation thesis deals with electrode materials and components for lithium-ion power sources. The thesis works with two different kinds of materials, concretely nanostructured Li4Ti5O12 with spinel basis and LiCoO2 with layered structure. The electrochemical properties, structure and element analysis and utilization possibilities in electrochemical industry of new technological electrode material Li4Ti5O12 were investigated. The influences of admixtures and electrolytes on characteristics of electrode materials with aforesaid active masses were also examined. Low cost price, environmental safety and obtained results of electrochemical measurements and structure analysis refer to wide possibilities of usage electrode material Li4Ti5O12 in the field of electrochemistry.

he thesis deals with proposal of an algorithm and implementation of a program that tracks a motion of the heart muscle in the captured ultrasound video of the heart. The point position estimation is calculated by optical flow method. The Active Shape Model method is used to confirm the accuracy of point's position tracking. The user annotates desired structure of the heart arch first and the application displays new points which represent a new deformed heart shape.
