Anonymous Call Detail Records (CDR’s) from mobile phone towers provide a unique opportunity to aggregate individual location data to overall human mobility patterns. Flowminder uses this data to improve the welfare of low- and middle-income countries. The movement patterns are studied through key measurements of mobility. This thesis seeks to evaluate the estimates of key measurements obtained with mobile phone towers through simulation of continuous human movement on a linear network. Simulation is made with an agent based approach. Spatial point processes are used to distribute continuous start points of the agents on the linear network. The start point is then equipped with a mark, a path with an end point dependent on the start point. A path from the start point to the end point of an agent is modeled with a Markov Decision Process. The simulated human movement can then be captured with different types of mobile phone tower distributions realized from spatial point processes. The thesis will initially consider homogeneous Poisson and Simple Sequential Inhibition (SSI) processes on a plane and then introduce local clusters (heterogeneity) with Matérn Cluster and SSI processes. The goal of the thesis is to investigate the effects of change in mobile phone tower distribution and call frequency on the estimates of key measurements of mobility. The effects of call frequency are unclear and invite more detailed study. The results suggest that a decrease in the total number of towers generally worsens the estimates and that introducing local clusters also has a negative effect on the estimates. The presented methodology provides a flexible and new way to model continuous human movement along a linear network.

This thesis discusses the rise of the Republican party in Texas and specifically Harris County. The time period is the decade between the Presidential election of Dwight D. Eisenhower and the campaign of Jack Cox for Governor. Changes in the structure and leadership of the Republican party at the state level and specific precincts are examined in detail in chapter one. Leaders in Houston during this time period, such as Jesse Jones, Roy Cullen, and Oveta Culp Hobby are discussed in chapter two. The elections of Eisenhower, Cox, and Republican John Tower are analyzed in chapter three. The conclusion finds six major factors for the political changes occurring in Harris County, including economic and demographic changes. Main sources for this work included the Harris County Democratic party records and the Jack Cox Papers at the Center for American History, the Eisenhower Library, and the John Tower Papers.

[pt] Provamos que campos de vetores C1- genéricos em uma variedade compacta não possuem probabilidades invariantes absolutamente contínuas em relação a uma medida de volume. Este trabalho estende ao caso de tempo contínuo um resultado de Avila e Bochi. / [en] We prove that C1-generic vector fields in a compact manifold do not have absolutely continuous invariant probabilities. This extends a result of Avila and Bochi to the continuous time case.

The content of this work is the elaboration of a technology-oriented project for the construction of an apartment building with four above-ground floors in Blansko. This project includes a technical report, road mapping solutions, technological regulations, a drawing and technical report of the building site equipment, a timetable, a design of the machine assembly, control and test plans, a material resource assurance plan, and a technical report on health and safety at the building site.

The subject of this diploma thesis is design a cable-supported pedestrian bridge. Three different variants of the solution were created for the design. For detailed processing, variant no.2 was chosen - a suspended bridge with a pylon in the middle of the span. The main task is the static design of the supporting structure. The model for the lengthways is created in ANSYS. The SCIA engineer was used to solve crosswise. The assessment and dimensioning was done according to the limit state principles and valid standards.

The focus of this thesis is an architectural study of the Kraví Hora area in Brno in a 1:200 scale. The area is significant in both size and location, but has been underutilized up to this point. The objective of the thesis is to discover a solution acceptable for the city of Brno as well as BUT, whose intentions with the area differ significantly. The area has been designed to have recreational spaces of greenery. Traffic has been either largely reduced, or eliminated entirely. A wide variety of sports, eductational programs and recreational activities has been made available for visitors of all ages. The objective of the planned area is to inspire and positively motivate the study of technology and interest in science via its functional design. Exhibition areas, lecture halls, rentable workspaces for graduates, a recruitment center and general storage spaces has been designed in the area. The design of the buildings is based around the incline of the plot – they have a maximum of one extra floor over the level of the surrounding terrain. The green roof and the vertical outer layer of laminated timber is designed to provide a natural character to the structures. The predominantly horizontal area is granted an element of verticality in the form of a lookout tower.

The aim of master thesis was to create a program for the quantitative analysis of data backup schemes and with its help to identify and analyze the properties of commonly used schemes for different loads. Based on the obtained results, compile a set of principles for choosing the optimal data backup scheme. The program was created by Matlab. It can be used to find out parameters for individual backup schemes: Parameters C (total backup volume) and E (medium volume of recovery backups), backups size of individual days, workload of individual storages, cost of storages and cost of overall backup scheme, size the total amount of data written per storage per time slot. At the end of the thesis is defined a scheme for choosing the optimal backup scheme.

The object of this thesis is to implement the contruction of the apartment block in Prague's area Suchdol. This report contains the technical report for construction technological project, technical report of site facilities, technological regulation, budget, time management, project of machinery assembly, inspection and test plan, environmental plan, occupational safety, study of main technological stages and comparative study.

Project documentation of new P3 type firehouse is presented in this master thesis. Firehouse’s design is in accordance with ČSN 73 5710 Požární stanice a požární zbrojnice and includes premises for: administration, teaching, day and night emergency, gymnasium, firehouse’s workshop and garrage. Its structure is made of sand-lime brickwork wall system combined with system of reinforced concrete pillars. Ceilings are designed using prestressed hollow core slabs. Firehouse is completed by external wall insulation and single-coated roof.

The diploma thesis deals with the constructive-technological project of the administrative building in Humpolec.This project mainly addressed construction by the building structures, site equipment, implementation of cast-in-place reinforced concrete floor, budget and chronological plan of buildings. The work was based on the project for implementation.
