This diploma thesis deals with the water regime of soils of the forest landscape segment. The object of the research was the permanent study plot Ušákov with low forest (simple coppice) and high forest (abandoned simple coppices) at the Training Forest Enterprise Masaryk Forest Krtiny, Bilovice forest district. The main aim of the thesis is to evaluate the dynamics of the soil water regime during the hydrological year 2018 in this landscape segment in relation to the thinning (basal area of each polycormon was reduced to 50%) and 30% reduction of throughfall precipitation in coppice stand and also in relation to the different forest management. The results show that in the thinned coppice stands is soil moisture higher during the whole investigated season, while in the coppice stands with reduced throughfall is lower, the effect of the different forest management on the soil moisture was not conclusively proved. Another task of this thesis is also to introduce the basic outline of the methodology of how to evaluate continually and ambulatory acquired soil water regime data from any landscape segment. Based on this method, individual humidity values of the studied soils were analyzed.

This study aims to compare the strength of bonding joint and bonding quality depending on the proportion of violations. The first part contains a research of various types of adhesives. Based on the research, two types of adhesive were chosen - the PVAC and UF adhesives. These adhesives are used directly in manufacturing of solid wood panels. Our test samples were made of beech wood and oak wood using both types of adhesive, four groups of samples altogether. The thesis contains an analysis of the requirements for bonding strength as well as production of samples from solid wood panel. According to current standards, the tests were performed to determine the density, moisture content, strength of bonding joint, the bonding quality and proportion of violations.

This work deals with drying of the beechwood using microwaves. In the first part there is teoretically discussed the wood in general and its behavior related with drying. The beechwood is here described in detail and also its properties. Another point of the teoretical part is focused on microwaves and its use for drying wood. Second part deals with drying of the beechwood samples using continous microwave line. Twenty beechwood samples were split on radial and tangent samples and they were put on ma-chine belt of the drying machine. Before and after each entry through the drying machi-ne each sample was weighed. This process was repeated till almost zero moisture of the tested sample. Then small parts were cut from each sample, three from each edge and three from the middle part of the tested sample. Three parts (edge, middle, edge) were used for prong test, three for finding the value of crustiness using the CEN test and three of them cut on even smaller parts for finding the moisture gradient. The result was evaluation of wood drying and its quality after drying

The thesis deals with the design and creation of a weather station suitable for gardeners. The created device is able to measure temperature, pressure, humidity, amount of precipitation, wind speed and direction, UV index and also temperature and soil moisture at several depths. The weather station is powered by a battery with auxiliary charging from a photovoltaic panel. The thesis is divided into several parts. The theoretical part describes the individual physical principles of measurement of the considered physical quantities. Subsequently, a comparison of available sensors is made and then a final selection is made. The third part deals with the design and implementation of the hardware circuitry including the creation of the PCB. In this section, the holders of each sensor are also designed for printing on a 3D printer, which are then printed. The fourth section deals with software design issues, which is described in more detail. Finally, the whole weather station is assembled, wired and the functionality of all components is verified by sending the measured data to Thingspeak.

Nowadays hemp is listed among plants with a wide range of potentials. It can be used as a source of fibre, oil, food or medicine. The aim of this work was to investigate optimal conditions for hemp seed germination grown in laboratory as well as field conditions and to propose the application of acquired findings. Hemp seed was split into 2 size groups: above 3 mm and 2 - 3 mm. Divided seeds with the humidity level of 6, 9 and 12% were stored at the temperature of 0, 8 and 20? 1°C for half a year. In 2 months interval, there were evaluated: germination, energy of sprouting, speed of sprouting, further seed viability and laboratory emergence. From next influences were evaluated the influence of dryness, wetting, autotoxicity, exudates of perennial weeds, seed treatment with the infusion of field horsetail and the grown stimulator. The best germination and laboratory emergence had seeds stored at 0°C. Test of seed viability confirmed significant decline in live seeds stored over 4 months at the 0°C temperature. The best germination was achieved by seed size 2 - 3 mm. Hemp requires sufficient amount of water for germination. Leachates from rhizomes of couch grass inhibited germination of hemp by 10%. On the other hand, germination was significantly increased by the stimulator.

Permeability surface layer of concrete is engaged in many research institutes around the world, because the surface layer is the weakest link in the entire concrete structure. This dissertation followed on the issue of global solutions and broadens the horizon of the covercrete issues. The aim of this work was to create the conversion relations between the methods for evaluating the permeability of concrete surface layer allow approximate evaluation of the surface layer of concrete depending on the current moisture. In practice mostly occur concrete, which surface mass of moisture is equal to 3 %, so this amount of moisture is selected as the reference. For comparison were used: the device TPT (Torrent Permeability Tester), device GWT (Germanns Water Permeability Tester) and methods ISAT (Initial Surface Absorption Test). A secondary aim was to create a unified methodology for measuring the device.

This dissertation is focused on a study of selected environmental effects influencing terrestrial gravity observations. Global geopotential models were used to compute quantities of the disturbing gravity field and its variations during time period. Furthermore, analyses of an atmospherical and hydrological effects on the gravity observations were provided. The computation was realized at the station Pecný, however the concept was proved and compared with data from station Strasbourg. Consequently, the results were discussed with respect to quasigeoid modelling established from gravity and astrogeodetic measurements. The result and recommendations for future research are exposed.

This thesis deals with the dielectric relaxation spectroscopy applied to samples of an epoxy slip filled by grounded mica with granularity of 40 m. The changes of dielectric properties were investigated depending on the fulfillment of grounded mica, temperature, the relative air humidity, and the frequency between 100 Hz and 1MHz.

Master's thesis is monitoring changes in basic dielectric properties. Monitoring changes in absorbency of characteristics and temporal dependences in rezistance with change of relative humidity. On the colection samples were measured temporal dependences charged and uncharged currents in ambient temperature and 0%, 55%, 75%, 95% relative humidity. The next part of my work is monitoring temporal dependences interior rezistance in the time of ageing in different humidities. Experiments were made on material ISONOM NKN and NMN.
