This thesis deals with alternative thermal degradation of electrical insulating liquids. The theoretical part describes the current state of the problem, electrical insulating liquids, their classification and types. There are described properties of electrical insulating liquids, their models of aging and diagnostic methods in accordance with the appropriate standards. In the practical part are chosen by representatives of alternative electrical insulating liquids and there are determined their dielectric characteristics in the initial state. According to the measured values is chosen five candidates for which it is designed and implemented an accelerated degradation test. During the test are measured dielectric parameters of the selected oils. Measured dependencies are mathematically approximated. In conclusion, the results are compared and physically interpreted in view of oxidation stability.

Progression of human civilization in fields of technology, culture and media is closely tied to the creation of remains known as a cultural heritage. These artefacts and knowledge are testimonies of human cultures of distant and recent pasts. In last two decades, a trend of creating and living in synthetic worlds has emerged with social media and vast digital games being prime examples of such synthetic worlds. To better understand human culture, a new, yet undeveloped and academically unestablished (even though suggested by texts in past 30 years) interdisciplinar field has emerged: archaogaming. Its mission is researching distant and recent past through cultural heritage in and of digital games, connecting archaeology, game and media studies, using methods and tools inspired by archaeological practice. Among such methods belongs digital ethnography and on-site research, methods used in this Master's thesis' research. Its aim was to describe artefacts used and left in game worlds by gamers of three chosen digital games: GTA Online, Fortnite Battle Royale and Soul Calibur VI. Moreover, other goals of this research were to identify factors influencing such relics and their lifespan. Analysis of data collected during 60 gaming sessions throughout the trio of synthetic worlds suggests that artefacts...

The aminoacid sequence of papain (EC 3.4.22.2) consists of 212 aminoacids. It has only one free sulfhydryl group, which is located in the active site of the protein. Some organometallic complexes could be bonded only to this free -SH group due to their structure. The artificial metalloproteins synthesised by this way may have different electrochemical properties. In this work, we have studied the electrochemical properties of papain and its derivatives. We compared the ability of papain and its three artificial derivatives to catalyse the hydrogen evolution by the chronopotenciometry. The work was completed by the study of the electrochemical properties of the organometallic complexes of ruthenium, which were used for the artificial metalloprotein preparation. The electrochemical properties of the compounds were never studied before. The process of the hydrogen evolution catalysed by the proteins is held in the adsorbed state of the catalyst. Due to this fact we have also studied the adsorption properties of papain on the substrates with different level of hydrofobicity. (In Czech)

K pořízení snímků sítnice, která představuje nejdůležitější část lidského oka, je potřeba speciálního vybavení, kterým je fundus kamera. Z tohoto důvodu je cílem této práce navrhnout a implementovat systém, který bude schopný generovat takovéto snímky bez použítí této kamery. Navržený systém využívá mapování vstupního černobílého snímku krevního řečiště sítnice na barevný výstupní snímek celé sítnice. Systém se skládá ze dvou neuronových sítí: generátoru, který generuje snímky sítnic, a diskriminátoru, který klasifikuje dané snímky jako reálné či syntetické. Tento systém byl natrénován na 141 snímcích z veřejně dostupných databází. Následně byla vytvořena nová databáze obsahující více než 2,800 snímků zdravých sítnic v rozlišení 1024x1024. Tato databáze může být použita jako učební pomůcka pro oční lékaře nebo může poskytovat základ pro vývoj různých aplikací pracujících se sítnicemi.

Cieľom tejto diplomovej práce je vygenerovanie datasetu syntetických snímkov odtlačkov prstov, ktoré vykazujú známky kožných ochorení. Práca sa zaoberá poškodením spôsobeným kožnými ochoreniami v odtlačkoch prstov a generovaním syntetických odtlačkov prstov. Odtlačky prstov s prejavom kožných ochorení boli generované s využitím modelu založeného na Wasserstein GAN s penalizáciou gradientu. Na trénovanie GAN modelu bola použitá unikátna databáza odtlačkov prstov s prejavom kožných ochorení vytvorená na FIT VUT. Daný model bol trénovaný na troch typoch kožných ochorení: atopický ekzém, psoriáza a dyshidrotický ekzém. Sieť generátoru z natrénovaného WGAN-GP modelu bola použitá na vygenerovanie datasetov syntetických odtlačkov prstov. Tieto syntetické odtlačky boli porovnané s reálnymi odtlačkami s využitím NFIQ a FiQiVi nástrojov na určenie kvality spoločne s porovnaním rozložení lokácií a orientácii markantov v snímkoch odtlačkov prstov.

Submitted Ph.D. thesis is concerning the application and interpretation of seismic surface waves in a broad range of frequencies and scales. Using surface waves as a supplement to the methods dealing with body waves seems to be worth the effort. Surface wave interpretation can be used to obtain new information about the studied medium and simultaneously it can overcome, in some cases, the limitations of other seismic techniques. Moreover, surface waves are usually present on measured records and hence for its usage it is not necessary to modify the standard measuring procedures. One of the results of this thesis is an original algorithm for dispersive waveform calculation. The program works in an arbitrary range of frequencies and scales. The input parameter for the calculation is the dispersion curve. In this point the algorithm differs from all other approaches used so far. Algorithm is based on a summation of frequency components with shifts corresponding to the velocity dispersion and distance. The resulting waveform only contains an individual dispersive wave of the selected mode, thus being particularly suitable for testing of methodologies for dispersive wave analysis. The algorithm was implemented into the program DISECA. Furthermore, a new procedure was designed to calculate the dispersion...
