The protection zone of the Franklin Rod is widely used in practice due to its effectiveness and the wide usage. The theories are based on the mathematical approaches, regardless of physical inherence of lightning strokes. The study of this thesis is based on computer analysis of the field distribution in pre-breakdown stage, laboratory experiments of various test configurations and mathematical modeling. The impact of the Franklin Rod¡¯s height and the polarity of impulse are considered. New equations are developed to calculate the striking distance to Franklin Rod both under negative and positive polarity lightning strokes. The lightning protection zone of the Franklin Rod can be predicted by a proposed elliptical model. The experimental data coincides to the calculated protection zone by proposed equations. Finally, the dual-rod lightning protection system is studied. The protection zone of the dual-rod protection system can be evaluated by a combination of Rolling Sphere Circular Model and elliptical model.

The aim of the thesis is to evaluate effects of natural and human activity on water quality of Budsky stream basin, futher assessing current water protection and proposing improvements in the form of differential protection zones. The basin is located on Besednice, Soběnov and Malče cadastral areas and extands to second grade of a water supply protection zone of Rimov reservoir. During terrain reconnaissance of the area were all the factors that could contribute to impaired quality of water in the basin taken into the account; from point source pollution to signs of erosion on the slopes of the basin. Futhermore the link between agricultural pollution, agricultural land erosion, land consolidation and protection of water was explained. Also pedological, hydrological and climate researches were conducted. The result is a redefined design of the water protection zones in question.

This thesis deals with the legal regime of the protected areas and zones designed to protect the soil.The thesis is divided into seven chapters. The first chapter is devoted to a general definition of the environment and describes the reasons why to protect them. The second chapter deals with soil protection in general, and mainly focuses on the problems they are currently facing with the land protection. The third chapter is devoted to the sources of legislation on the soil protection. Chapter four and five of the thesis includes a central and legal analysis of soil conservation in protected areas and zones in the laws on nature protection and landscape in the Water Act. Each institute is described, defined, and especially emphasize the special legal regime consisting mainly of the bans and restrictions on certain activities in the area through which the soil is being protected. Fifth and sixth chapter focuses on soil protection contained in the Act on spas and mining.

Ever since humans began using cargo by sea to transport oil, oil spill incidents have occurred on different scales in different environments. Oil leaks by cargo tankers on the high seas have a bigger and more serious impact on the environment. Among the many oil spills in the ocean, the most serious was the Exxon Valdez incident in Alaska¡¦s Prince William Sound (PWS). While it may not have been the largest spill in terms of the volume of oil leaked, its effects were far-reaching; the location of the spill was in the sensitive area between the temperate and subtropical zones, and it was home to many fish, migratory birds, and mammals. Therefore, this location has become an important place for researchers to study the environmental and biological impacts of an oil leak. In the past, there have been several studies conducted from various perspectives and in various stages. In 2001, the Greek oil tanker The Amorgos ran aground near Kenting National Park¡¦s Long-Keng Environmental Protection Zone and seriously damaged the ecological environment. Taiwanese studies on the ecological impacts of oil spills include investigations and evaluations done on a short-term basis, and have been mainly focused on contingency plans and designs, evaluation systems, and handling technology. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to use related studies conducted in Alaska PWS to evaluate the ecological system in the Long-Keng area and to assess the long-term impacts of an oil spill in the ecological sensitive area of Taiwan.

Relés de distância são muito utilizados para proteger linhas de transmissão. Porém, há baixa precisão dos limites de sua zona de proteção devido a fenômenos de subalcance e sobrealcance. Assim, nesta dissertação de mestrado é proposto um algoritmo com compensação da resistência de falta, baseado em coordenadas de fase, objetivando aumentar a precisão dos limites da zona de proteção. A formulação proposta utiliza uma estimativa da corrente de falta para estimar a resistência de falta e compensar a impedância aparente calculada. Foram realizados o equacionamento e desenvolvimento do algoritmo para faltas tipo fase. Simulações e testes numéricos comparativos com formulações estado-da-arte verificaram a eficiência do método proposto. / Distance Relays are widely used to protect transmission lines. However, due to underreaching and overreaching phenomena, there is a low precision in protection zone limits of distance relays. Thus, in this dissertation, a new algorithm based in phase coordinates is proposed to increase the precision in zone protection limits. The proposed method uses the fault corrent to estimate the fault resistance and compensate the apparent impedance calculated. The equation development was done for phase type faults. Comparative tests with state-of-the-art formulations verified the efficiency of the proposed method.

The aim of the thesis is to asses an influence of a conservation on real estate price determined using comparative method and regular price and to define potential complications connected to using such real estate. Theoretical part of the work is focused on description of selected evaluation methods, basic concepts related to conservation and issues connected to real estate located in conservation. Following part of the thesis is description of selected area, specifically description of Mikulov city, Mikulov city conservation and protection zone of Mikulov city conservation. Practical part of the thesis is calculation of price of the real estate, subsequent comparison of the prices and evaluation of influence of conservation on real estate price.

The diploma thesis deals with design of the polyfunctional center and the whole complex for the Brno University of Technology, which would serve for its representation. The land is in Brno on Kraví hora and its location has huge potential. However, the area is not used by the university, so the existing buildings are in poor condition. Therefore, the aim of the proposal is to find a suitable use of the land that would meet the university's requirements together with the city's intentions.
