Temperature characteristics of surface using remote sensing methods Abstract The aim of this thesis is to design a methodology for refining the land surface temperature values obtained from Landsat 8 satellite data in areas with diverse land cover. The research section describes factors influencing the radiation of the Earth's surface. Also mentioned are current methods used for processing infrared thermal data and calculate land surface temperature. The practical part describes satellite and airborne data used in the analytical and verification process. All parts of the applied method leading to the subpixel value of the land surface temperature are described in detail in the method part. The results are then compared with airborne verification data with better spatial resolution and with currently used methods. Finally, the pros and cons of this method and its possible improvement in the future are mentioned. Key words: land surface temperature, land surface emissivity, satellite data, Landsat 8, airborne data, subpixel method, Czech Republic

The goal of this thesis is summarize the current knowledge about Jumper's knee. It also includes a brief summary of the anatomy and kinesiology of the knee and then a separate chapter is devoted to the etiology, clinical picture, investigations and treatment of Jumper's knee. On these findings has been prepared and compiled research project hypotheses. This research is to determine whcther, and what affects Jumper's knee in the human musculoskeletal system. To this end, we chose a method of surface electromyography and dynamic plantography for analysis of pressure distribution and reaction forces during foot contact with the plate. Attention was focused on the comparison of side differences and timing muscle trunk and legs during dynamic activities sdccted. The results were compared with a control group that consisted of healthy individuals. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Objectives: We evaluate the movement patterns of left-sided radicular syndrome patients on the basis of intervertebral disc herniation L4/L5 or L5/S1 and test group to verify expected verge asymmetry between selected muscles and changes in their timing. Participants: 10 patients with left-sided radicular syndrome caused by intervertebral disc herniation were objects of the reserarch L4/L5 or L5/S1 (7 men, 3 women, average age 37,4 ± 10,67 years old). 6 healthy individuals without vertebrogenic problems were part of the reserarch (2 men, 4 women, average age 27,4 ± 2,6 years old) Methods: During specific tests focused on stabilizing function of musculosceletal system, selected muscles activity was recorded for both groups by SEMG Data analysis: The variation significance between experimental and test group was evaluated by two-tailed t-test. Significance level of p=0.05 was selected for statistical hypothesis testing. Results: We have proved statistically significant asymmetry between right and left side for patients with radicular syndrom. Significant variations were found for muscles timing between group with herniation and test group. Conclusion: Selected muscles activity and involvement sequence changes (timing) were found for patients with intervertebral disc herniation during postural tests,...

The water quality is an essential abiotic factor of the environment, particularly for water-linked ecosystems. It also necessary for human society for which the absence of drinking water could have disastrous consequences. This diploma thesis is focused on small resources of groundwater located in the protected area Křivoklátsko - the springs and wells. A water from the monitored wells was subjected to basic physico-chemical analysis plus some of these wells were also tested for microbiological contamination. These results were presented against current legislation and were also compared with results from Tomáš Brabenec's bachelor thesis. Key words: Křivoklátsko, wells, springs, water quality

The thesis deals with the tree energetic balance closely related to the phenomenon of plant transpiration. Living systems have a unique ability to equilibrate gradients in the nature. Storing energy of the incoming solar radiation into a latent heat of water evaporation is an example of such tree feature. It dissipates energy and simultaneously recycles nutrients and water in the ecosystem. There are few possible ways of energy balance detection shown in this work. The thermal imagining can be used as a method for an indirect indication of transpiration - transpiring plants have lower leaf surface temperature. An alternative method for determining the rate of transpiration is a direct measurement of transpiration on leaves or transpiration flow in a tree trunk. However, extrapolation of the above mentioned methods to entire stands can encounter some difficulties. The first part of the thesis presents a description of a physical background of energetic processes and the ways in which plants operate with water, the biotic pump theory is being discussed. The practical part begins with experiments on single leaves. These experiments are carried out to test the usability of the methods for the following experiments, which are performed on the entire living trees. They are focused on the relationship of the...

Title: Effects of PNF to change the motoric stereotype of the abduction in the shoulder joint Objectives: The aim of this thesis, which is conceived as a pilot experimental study is to verify the changes in the timing of selected muscles during stereotype abduction of the shoulder after performing repetitive cyclic motion by therapeutic method PNF if a specific number of repetitions of the movement is performed. Methods: This is a pilot experimental study, which was done on seven probands, 4 men and 3 women with an average age of 26.6 years. The surface EMG muscle activity was scanned on selected muscles during the motoric testing of stereotype of the abduction of the shoulder joint before and after the PNF techniques. The EMG signal was then analyzed and we evaluated the timing of muscles before and after the PNF techniques. The results were then compared in terms of both intra-individually and inter-individually comparison. Results: Results provided contradictory answers to the fundamental questions relating to changes in the timing of selected muscles after PNF techniques. In terms of the change in intra-individually timing after PNF hypothesis was proved. But from the perspective of inter-individually comparison the hypothesis was not proved. Keywords: PNF, surface electromyography, motion...

Title: PNF technique after arthroscopic stabilization of the shoulder joint Objectives: The objective of this work is to consider the possibility of use of the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique (PNF) in early stages of rehabilitation after arthroscopic stabilization of the shoulder joint. The idea is to use the phenomen of irradiation with which this concept works. Methods: The pilot experimental group consisted of 7 healthy participants with simulated arthroscopic stabilization of the left shoulder joint. The electromyography was used to record the electric activity of musculus trapezius pars descendens, pars transversa et pars ascendens, musculus deltoideus pars acromialis, musculus infraspinatus and musculus pectoralis major pars sternocostalis on the immobilized left arm; while using the PNF technique on the peripheral parts of the immobilised arm; and on the contra lateral arm. A 5s sequence of stabilised isometric contraction was analysed and all data further normalised to Maximal Voluntary Contraction (MVC). Considering the literature the 20% increase above the MVC was defined as substantial to assure sufficient functional capacity of the muscle fibres and therefore sufficient to stop muscle atrophy during immobilisation of the arm. Results: Results of this study support...

Title: Discrimination of EMG signals from individual forearm muscles from surface EMG Abstract: Location of electrodes for sensing the forearm muscles using surface electromyography is not accurately described. It is based only on recommendations by various authors in making researches. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal placement of electrodes on the forearm and describe it to another repeatable measurements. By analyzing the amplitude of EMG recording is confirmed not only the optimal location of electrodes, but either suggested muscle synergies that are possible to analyze more deeply in other studies because a detailed examination of muscle synergies are considerable application in upper limb prosthetics Keywords: Surface electromyography, forearm muscles, amplitude analysis

In last two years, the proposal to create artificial graphene in standard semiconducting 2D systems via surface patterning has emerged. This way, an alternative system would be created, allowing us to study phenomena related to Dirac-type particles in a fully carbon free system. The main idea of the concept assumes the creation of an additional potential in a quantum well by nanopatterning of the specimen surface or by using local electrodes. The additionally introduced modulation can transform the conventional (i.e. parabolic) energy dispersion into separated minibands with possible appearance of Dirac cones. In the theoretical part, we introduce four basic criteria that estimate appropriate technological parameters and the required experimental conditions. Experimentally, we study the cyclotron resonance of prepared heterostructures AlGaAs/GaAs with induced hexagonal potential via the etching lateral holes. The observed multi-mode resonance response is discussed with respect to the expected appearance of Dirac cones.
