The work is focused on the characteristic, properties and uses of artificial stone (category Solid surface) in furniture manufacturing. Beside other things, work deals with the process of machining, circular saw blades, water jet machining and methods for evaluating the kerf quality. The main goal is to assess the kerf quality for both different technologies of cutting and different Solid surface materials. Finally, the work is focused on assessing the significance of the circular saw blades geometry and their impact on the quality of machined surface.

The task of the master's thesis on the topic of "The determination of the loss of the soil erosion and the draft erosion control measures" is the first to describe in general what is soil erosion and erosion control measures, what they may be. Then the work focuses on the calculation of the average long-term loss of soil erosion and loss of soil from torrential rain on the selected watersheds. These steps follows its own draft anti-erosion measures. The measures are designed to reduce the loss of soil found in the basin. The water catchment area, which is the erosion of the watershed is determined, the stream Pradlenka.

Watercourses cross our landscape and they are indispensable part of it as part of water cycle. Watercourse and its accompanying vegetation constitute a functional element of the landscape. In The thesis summarizes information from available domestic and foreign literature sources in the literature review. It describes the characteristics of watercourses, banks and accompanying vegetation, its features and principles of a restoration and care. Possibilities of a biological and biotechnical stabilization of banks are also mentioned. This information has been applied in the design of reconstruction of accompanying vegetation of watercourse. 850 meters long stretch of Mohelka River in northern Bohemia was selected as a model object. On the stretch analyzes of vegetation and banks were carried out. The design of silvicultural measures, new plantings and banks stabilizations was based on these analyzes. The care plan was also designed. For all the designed measures the costing was made.

The diploma thesis deals with groundwater issues. The village Jenín was chosen for the work. The work contains theoretical and practical part. Theoretical part explains the terms connected with groundwater and its sources. The parctical part describes the area of interest and there are listed the sources of groundwater that were found during the survey of the territory. Within the survey a short analysis of water was carried out for four groundwater sources. The conclusion of this work assesses the current status of groundwater resources and proposes measures. The work includes a list of sources that has been used, photohraphs of the area of interest and short water analysis.

This thesis primarily focuses on one segment of freshwater Betaproteobacteria, the Limnohabitans genus (including the RBT lineage). As opposed to other recent research directions, the major aim was to recover the members of the previously uncultured RBT lineage through their isolation from various freshwater habitats. However, the results presented in this thesis have also ambitions to go far beyond the taxonomic descriptions only; the dissertation intends to contribute significantly to unveiling of important ecophysiological characteristics of the studied lineage in a set of both laboratory and field research. Therefore, understanding of growth characteristics, mortality, diversity and life strategies of aquatic microbes is of highest importance regarding profound human impact on water quality and increasing need of drinking water supplies.

This thesis deals with financial possibilities in water resources management. The thesis submits a general view of utilization of financial resources possibilities to improve the quality of water resources management from both national and European resources. The analysis of financial support availability is also the part of the thesis. The result is that available financial resources are insufficient because they do not satisfy all applicants. Another scope of this thesis was the process of sample projects from different supported programs. They should serve to potential applicants as a guideline for request submission so applicants have no worries about managing of the whole grant application process. Processed projects were compared according to specific criteria which resulted in suggested recommendations for the improvement of application processes.

The object of this thesis is the assessment of fish contamination by selected foreign substances as toxic metals, polychlorinated biphenyls and pesticides in 31 selected fishing grounds. The monitoring was realized between years 2006 and 2010. Fish were caught by electric device and fishing rods. Concentrations of Hg, Cd, Pb, PCB, DDT, HCH and HCB in fish muscle tissues were monitored. Common bream (Abramis brama) was selected as a reference species for a comparison of the monitored sites. The results of analysis were compared with valid hygienic limits. Overrun of hygienic limit for some of the monitored pollutants were observed in 18 localities. We found mercury as a major pollutant in the aquatic environment.

Sufficient quantity of good quality of drinking water is essential for human society. The existence of life, including life of man is conditioned by water. Water has a large impact on quality of life that we lead. In our conditions it is commonplace that we have unlimited access to drinking water which is provided through the public water supply system. Quality of drinking water in the Czech Republic is strictly monitored and the water from public water supply system has required quality and wholesomeness. The role of society is to ensure that this state will continue in the future. For this reason, water management became a part of critical infrastructure. The main purpose of this thesis is to map the impacts of drinking water supply system interruptions to the population of South Bohemia. This thesis was based on quantitative research and applied the method of secondary analysis of document.

The diploma thesis ?Life and property rescue by IRS bodies on Lipno water reservoir? is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The former describes the separate bodies of the IRS (Integrated Rescue System) designed for operations on the reservoir, their roles and equipment, and also gives a list of their protective and rescue devices along with examples of their use. This part of the thesis also explores drowning, rescue techniques for drowning people, and the physiological changes in their bodies caused by the effects of cold water. It also deals with the formation of ice and its properties, with the recovery of sunken vehicles, as well as with accidents threatening rescuers working in and under water. The practical part presents the process of preparation and implementation of a tactical rescue exercise of IRS bodies aimed at the recovery of a passenger car trapped under broken ice on Lipno reservoir in the municipality of Frymburk. The principal outcomes of the research are given in the conclusion of the thesis.

This thesis deals with permanent grassland, their meaning and use. The thesis is focused on the influence of water regime on selected grass species Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratense) and Creeping thin (Agrostits tenuis), its resistance to drought, water stress and the impact of growth and production in the absence of water. The work was carried out under laboratory conditions and areas where attempts have been made regarding the germination of grasses in the absence of water. A sub-task was to evaluate dry matter yield for grass species.
