This diploma thesis deals with humic acid gels and their ability to bind metallic ions on their surface. In the thesis, there was studied the adsorption of copper ions on the provided gels. The gels were prepared by dissolving the humic acid in sodium hydroxide or sodium tripolyphosphate and then precipitated with hydrochloric acid or metal chlorides. Adsorption was studied at different concentrations of the copper (II) chloride and measured on UV-VIS spectrophotometer. It was proved from measuring that gels made from sodium tripolyphosphate are adsorbing less copper ions than the ones prepared by sodium hydroxide. Also, the copper ions are bound with smaller force on gels prepared with polyphosphate. Gels precipitated with magnesium chloride adsorb much more than gels precipitated with acid, thus in the case of gels sequestered metal ions extracted higher.

Presented diploma thesis deals with the analysis of juices of selected red and white currant varieties. The theoretical part is dedicated to the characteristics of a currant, biologically active substances of its fruits, its growing proces and the utilization of currants in the food industry. The analyzed parameters of currants - phenolics, anthocyanins and vitamin C are also characterized in the theoretical part with possibůe methods of their determination. The experimental part is devoted to the preparation of samples and the working practices of individual analysis. Six selected varieties of white and eleven varieties of red currant from Research and Breeding Institute of Pomology Holovousy Ltd. and six varieties of white and ten varieties of red currant from private grower were used for the analysis. Total phenolics and anthocyanins were determined spectrophotometrically, the content of vitamin C was determined by HPLC. Higher values of these compounds were measured mainly in the varieties of Research and Breeding Institute of Pomology Holovousy Ltd. Varieties of red currants contained higher amounts of total phenolics and anthocyanins while white currants contained higher amounts of vitamin C.

Presented diploma thesis is dedicated to the determination of selected chemical parameters of fruits of new currant varieties. The theoretical part is focused on the characteristics of currant, the biologically active substances of its fruits and also the utilization of current in the food industry. Further part of the theory deals with the main chemical parameters which were examined: polyphenols, anthocyanins, ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity. In the practical part there were determined selected chemical parameters in six white, twelve red and thirteen black varieties of currant. Anthocyanins and polyphenols have been determined spectrophotometrically. The content of ascorbic acid in selected varieties of currant was determined by HPLC. As a technique for the determinationof the antioxidant activity was selected the method of free radical DPPH.

My master's thesis deals with creating of a suitable evaluation technique that optimizes the optical parameters of the thin films according to the specified requirements of the proposer. This technique will be used at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and it should facilitate the evaluation of measurement results of the The Institute of Physical Engineering workers. Research workers use a digital imaging spectrophotometer for some measurements of optical properties of thin films at the institute. My most important task is to process the output data of the spectrophotometer concerning selected thin film. Construed master's thesis describes all the tools and techniques that have been used for the implementation of the program including evolutionary techniques and basics of the thin films optics (within the framework of the electromagnetic optics). As an enclosure, an electronic medium with the source codes of the whole application is provided.

This thesis was focused on a determination of nadroparin using sequential injection analysis and flow injection analysis with fluorimetric and spectrophotometric detection. The principle of determination was based on the interaction of nadroparin with phenothiazine dye. Methylene blue was used as phenothiazine dye. The determination was performed on a laboratory made FIA instrument and on the commercial SIA instrument. Optimal conditions for SIA were concentration of dye 6 ∙ 10-5 mol dm-3 , injected volume 100 µl, flowrate 1,5 ml min-1 , for FIA: concentration of dye 3 ∙10-5 mol dm-3 flowrate 2 ml ∙ min-1 , injected volume= 100 µl, for fluorimetric detection was sensivity of the detector 1000 V, Emission was measured by 2 nm and excitation wavelenght 621 nm. For spectrophotometric detection, absorbance was detected at the absorption maximum wavelength. Repeatability ranged from 2.01 to 2.85%. The limit of detection for FIA was 0.05-0.09 IU ml-1 , for SIA were limits of detection in range 0,25 - 1,63 IU ml-1 , limits of quantification in range 0,83 - 5,44 and linear range was from 0,5 - 20 IU ml-1 . The limits of detection, limits of determination and the linear range could be corrected for the SIA by the injected volume of phenothiazine dye.

This Ph.D. thesis is focused on kinetic study of propene and hex-1-ene coordination polymerizations initiated by complex [(2-tBuC6H4)N=C(1,8-naphtalenediyl)C=N(2-tBuC6H4)]NiBr2 activated by simple organoaluminium compounds and on product properties. In first three parts proper activators are chosen in model polymerizations. The attention is paid to the reproducibility of polymerizations and analytical methods. The fourth part is focused on propene polymerization kinetics with the aim to define optimal reaction conditions, especially polymerization temperature and time. The four part concerns also properties of polymers. The fifth and sixth parts deal with hex-1-ene polymerization kinetics conducted at various activator/initiator molar ratios and various catalytic precursor concentrations, to find out kinetic orders with respect to catalyst and cocatalyst concentration. Last part is oriented on detail mechanistic investigation of nickel diimine complexes activation process. Results of measurements in presence or absence of monomer enabled to propose new interpretation of UV-vis spectra based on concrete structures of absorbing species.

This thesis deals with the preparation of the combined alcoholic beverages based on wine and fruit juices. The fruit juices were obtained from the selected fruits as honeysuckle, mulberry, dogwood, rose hips, elderberry, buckthorn and aronia. Some chemical properties e. g. total fenolics, total anthocyanins, vitamin C and sacharides were determined for characterization of the mentioned juices. As well as chemical parameter of juices, the same chemical parameters were determined on wine. There were prepared three sets of combined beverages from wine and juices. The two best evaluated beverages were chosen on the basis of their sensory evaluation. In the end, the same chemical properties were determined in both particular juices and resulting beverages.
