The diploma thesis deals with the use of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for depth profiling and 3D mapping of the zinc-coated steel used in the automotive industry. Before creating depth maps and depth profiles, optimization of the experiment was performed. It was shown that the LIBS technique is suited for making depth profiles and depth maps. The theoretical part deals with the description of the LIBS instrumentation, characteristics of plasma, and assembling of scientific papers which reflect the up to date knowledge about depth profiling and mapping with the use of the LIBS technique. The experimental part describes the optimization of the experiment. Gate delay, the depth and the diameter of craters using the profilometer, the position of the focal plane relative to the sample surface, and selection of spectral lines with the smallest residual signal and small scattering of data were optimized. Depth profiles of zinc, iron, chromium and manganese with the depth map of zinc and iron were made, and also the depth resolution for both elements was calculated.

Diplomová práce Geography of Cyberspace: from the beginning to the future of the discipline. Natália Lukášová Praha 2010 Abstract This thesis focuses on the topic of Cyberspace and its role within social geography. Cyberspace, the Internet and their influences on everyday life, on many social, economical, political, as well as geographical aspects are obvious. The aim of the work is to uncover and explain the discipline "Geography of Cyberspace", to form a solid basis and spring board for further studies of this discipline and its sub-disciplines. The work is mainly focused on evaluation of basic literature within the discipline and on introduction of the most important researchers and institutions which are concerned with the research of these issues. The retrieval method was used for purposes of the evaluation. For a complete overview and better understanding of the discipline the thesis depicts the technological history of Cyberspace. It is trying to answer the questions whether and how much Cyberspace influences the "real world", or whether Cyberspace means the end of classical geographical understanding of the world. A qualitative research was realised for the purpose of the thesis for better comprehension of human perception of Cyberspace. The research was done with the sample of university students...

Title: The usage of qi-gong for training of perceiving body schema Summary: The goal of the work is to prove the presence of alpha activity in the electroencencefalographic record throughout the duration of the exercise qi-gong with open eyes and closed eyes, and to evaluate changes in the distribution of the scalp alpha activity with native EEG before and after the exercise. The observed research file was created from five probands between the ages of twenty-seven to fifty-two, which all practiced qi-gong for a duration of at least twelve months. The results showed the presence of alpha activity during exercising qi-gong with closed eyes in four probands, and in three probands there was also a present alpha activity during the exercise of qi-gong with open eyes. Furthermore was proven that the change in distribution of alpha activity during exercise of qi-gong with open eyes was from parietooccipital regions going temporo-frontally in comparison with the exercise of qi- gong with closed eyes and native EEG before and after exercise. The acquired results support in literature the described change of generators of alpha activity localized in the deeper structures of the brain. This process is connected with the decreased activity of the cerebral cortex with an increase in the particular limbic structures....

My diploma thesis deals with distribution analysis of car thefts in the town of Liberec and will look at the options of situational crime prevention techniques. In my diploma thesis I have used the concept of hot spots which is able to show higher than average concentrations of car thefts in the study area. The database is relatively unique, provided by the regional police department in Liberec and contains the records of more than a thousand reported car thefts in Liberec between the years 2011-2014. The provided data contains GPS coordinates and thanks to them, it was possible, with relatively high accuracy, to identify hot spots of car thefts in Liberec. The identification of hot spots was possible as spatial statistics were used that enabled concrete calculations of kernel density, which made it possible to identify problem locations. In our chosen hot spots we then undertook our fieldwork, whose main goal was to evaluate the options of utilization strategy CPTED, so as to obtain preventive measures in problem locations. The output of this thesis include hot spot maps of car thefts 2011-2014 and also recommendations for preventive measures, which would be advisable to implement in chosen hot spots. Key words: car thefts, crime mapping, CPTED, hot spot, crime prevention, GIS

This thesis deals with constructing engineering geological 1:1000 map of Dobkovičky landslide, collecting of reconstituted soil samples, their laboratory CIUP triaxial testing and subsequent modeling of wall stability of the landslide after the excavation of collapsed soil material. Mapping was done during spring of 2014. Outcome of this thesis is hand drawn map, plotted on the map are all the elements of the landslide including 38 documentation points. Legend of the maps is attached. Collection of reconstituted soil samples was done during drilling investigation, executed by company AZ Consult, spol.s.r.o., during summer of 2014. Three samples of all that were collected were subjected to laboratory CIUP triaxial testing. The result of the testing is critical friction angel, which was used during modeling of wall stability of the landslide after excavation of all collapsed soil material. For the actual modeling, PC software Plaxis 2D was used.

Miniaturization of devices to study chemical interactions and processes in liquid samples has led to the emergence of microfluidics and construction of lab-on-a-chip systems. Present work was devoted to implementation, development and testing of microfluidic systems with detection by confocal Raman microscopy and surface enhanced Raman scattering under the conditions of training department. Several options of performing standard macroscopic measurements in microscopic scales were explored. A method for measuring thermal stability of biopolymers in microsystems with contactless detection of temperature has been designed and tested. Furthermore, possibilites for studying the SERS effect within microfluidic channels were explored. It was demonstrated that the microfluidic chips provide promising opportunity to study hydrodynamics of liquids at microscopic level and chemical reactions and kinetics.

Jaroslav Blahuta: Habitat mapping NPP Skalická Morávka as a basis for monitoring regeneration Reynoutria spp. printed after the intervention of the herbicide. The aim of this thesis was to map the habitats of the Catalogue of habitats (Culek et al., 2010) in the NPP Skalická Morávka and their level of invasion Reynoutria spp. as a basis for monitoring areal intervention herbicide. NPP is the subject of the protection of the natural stretch of the river Morávka in gravel sediments with their characteristic communities. These communities are bound occurrence of rare and endangered species (for example Myricaria germanica). Territory NPP was interspersed with square nets (50 x 50 m), which contained 454 nodes. At every point was made simplified the occurrence and registration of a particular species, found coverage representativeness, degree of degradation and the presence of dead wood. Based on these characteristics was to characterize habitats with regard to the level of invasion of neophytes. Overall the 454 mapping points to characterize habitat 13 by the concept of Culek et al. (2010). The percentage of each habitat is as follows: L2.2 (54,75 %), L2.4 (0,66 %), L3.2 (3,09 %), K2.2 (11,92 %), M1.4 (0,22 %), M4.1 (9,27 %), M4.2 (0,22 %), X7A (5,52 %), X7B (10,82 %), X12A (0,66 %), X12B (0,22 %), V4B (2,21 %) and T1.1 (0,5%). The overall level of invasion NPP Reynoutria spp. is 61 %. The highest abundances reached in natural habitats L2.2 (61 %), K2.2 (55 %) and M1.4 (52 %). Invasion of Impatiens glandulifera is 26 %. The highest abundances stood near the river (habitat K2.2, M1.4 and X7B). In terms of representativeness was most often to characterize transitional habitats with 82.9 % of the mapping points. According to the degree of degradation was 22 % of the nodes proved negative factor (most often the occurrence of neophytes, or illegal dumps).Dead wood is found only 6 % of the territory. The work represents a good basis for future monitoring and management optimization.

At the beginning, the plant domestication was probably a non-conscious process. Later, it changed to a targeted process, when the cultural crops were developed from wild species due to human activities. Some crops occurred as a weed of the first cultural species in the past and were selected for individual crops during the domestication. The very beginning of the domestication can be found in neolithic era, when humans chan- ged their way of life from picking & hunting to agriculture & shepherdy. Change of climate after the last ice age was probably one of the reasons. Wild plants as a whole differ from cultural crops in set of domestication characters. Domesticated crops have for example bigger fruits (tomato plant - Solanum lycopersicum L.), contain lower amount of toxic substances (solanine, potato - S. tuberosum L.), natural spreading of seeds and dormancy were inhibited (pea - Pisum L.) etc. Spontaneous releasing of seeds was a big issue already in the past, and is a big issue also now. Afford to avoid this behavior was exerted from the beginning of agriculture. Plants developed various mechanisms of seed spreading into their surroundings for the purposes of species preservation. Legumes developed explosive seed spreading. Shrinking pod valves exert tension on both junctions and once the critical force was reached, the pod suddenly opens. During this action, the pod orientation changes (the tip obliquely upwards) and the seeds are catapulted up to several meters into surroundings. The objective of this work was to narrow mapping interval of the pod shattering ge- ne (Dpo1) in pea (Pisum L.) and focus on evaluation of phenotype of recombinant in- bred lines (RILs). Several RILs formed by crossbreeding of contract parent genotypes of P. elatius were used Steven ex M. Bieb. JI64 × clutural pea P. sativum L. JI92 and reci- procal crossbreeding JI92 × JI64; P. elatius Steven ex M. Bieb. VIR320 × cultural pea P. sativum L. WL1238. Next objective was a comparison anatomical analysis of pod structure in the area of ventral and dorsal junction and endocarp structure.

An image processing technique was applied to detect roddon soil features from UK-DMC2 base data. Roddon soil features represent former watercourses in English Fenland, now raised banks with altered soil composition. They can be clearly seen on remotely sensed imagery as bright features in contrast to the darker surrounding peat land. Based on difference in brightness of roddons and surrounding peat soil the Soil Brightness Index (SBI) was applied to detect the roddons. To identify the edges of these features where there is a large spectral contrast a non-directional filter was applied together with an image enhancing technique to better differentiate the roddons form other non-soil features. Understanding the location of roddons will allow adaptive farming practices that account for differences in soil properties, and help optimizing yields.
