Title: Cobalt phthalocyanines as sensors for determination of thiol groups Annotation: The possibility of employment of cobalt phthalocyanine as a material for the modification of HOPG electrode for construction of a sensor for quantification of thiol groups was studied. Thiol groups are occurring in various biologically active substances (sulfur amino acids). The electrochemical behavior of cobalt tetraneopentoxy-phthalocyanine (CoTNPc) in the water/organic phase system was studied, and individual peaks of cyclic voltammogram of the compound were identified. The electrodeposition of CoTNPc on HOPG electrode was found as a suitable method for construction of the sensor for quantification of thiol groups. The reproducibility of fabrication of the sensor and its time-stability was studied. The calibration dependencies for model analytes (cysteine hydrochloride and homocysteine) were measured. Key words: thiols, phthalocyanines, amperometric sensor, cyclic voltammetry

This work deals with implementation of an agent platform, which is able to run agent code in wireless sensor networks. Implementation has been done for MICAz platform, which uses TinyOS operating system for developing applications. This work contains list of chosen TinyOS parts and illustrates, how such a platform can be used for our purposes. We will describe main features of ALLL language and we will also demonstrate some examples of agents.

This dissertation deals with a development of a laser welded common rail with a radially attached RPS sensor of pressure. The new concept required by Bosch Diesel s.r.o. Jihlava should be more modifiable and it should be easily integrated with the engine compartment. In this dissertation I suggested a number of concepts that I further analysed, verified in appropriate software, developed, and finally narrowed the selection down to the most suitable solution, which is recommended and justified in the conclusion.

The diploma thesis deals with conventional transformers and current and voltage sensors. The first half of thesis describes mainly the basic concepts and accuracy classes of these converters used in electrical substations. The emphasis is given primarily on the differences. In the second half of thesis is presented an exact type of converters, which are installed in the substation Medlánky. There is an analysis of measured data from long – term monitoring from this substation and comparing the results from conventional transformers compared to the results from more modern sensors.

The thesis deals with integral and distributed optical fiber sensors of electric current. In the area of integral sensors the analysis is performed by Jones matrix calculus and the simultaneous influence of induced circular and undesired linear birefringence using an ortho-conjugation retroreflector. Furthermore, the proposed conjugation loop variant using half-wave phase retarders is analyzed. The theoretical conclusions are confirmed by simulation and experimental measurement. In the field of distributed fiber optic sensors, analysis and simulation for the detection of plasma currents in thermonuclear fusion reactors, based on the POTDR technique, is performed. An improvement procedure is proposed for circular-shaped vacuum vessel reactors. Plasma current detection procedure in divertor-type reactors have been newly designed and simulated to investigate the effect of the OTDR detector noise on plasma current detection accuracy.

Title: Characterization of highly porous Pd-modified SnO2 sputtered thin films for H2 detection Autor: Mgr. Mykhailo Chundak Department/Institute: Department of Surface and Plasma Science Supervisor of the doctoral thesis: RNDr. Kateřina Veltruská, CSc., Department of Surface and Plasma Science Abstract: This doctoral thesis contains the study of tin dioxide and Pd-doped tin dioxide samples deposited by magnetron sputtering utilizing glancing angle deposition (GLAD). Influence of the deposition parameters on the change of morphology, crystalline structure and chemical state was studied. The samples were characterized by a variety of techniques, such as: X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy (SRPES), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Prepared samples showed high porosity which could be controlled by deposition parameters (angle of the deposition, gas pressure and power of magnetron discharge). Highly porous SnO2 GLAD samples and Pd modified SnO2 GLAD samples were deposited on the substrates at room temperature and 300 řC. These samples were found to be polycrystalline with certain fraction of amorphous contribution, given by preparation conditions. The size of the...
