Improving the image quality in sparse-angle X-ray computed microtomography using deep learning
Šrámek, Vojtěch ; Šalplachta, Jakub (referee) ; Zikmund, Tomáš (advisor)
X-ray computed microtomography represents a non-invasive method, which allows us to visualize the internal structure of objects, and therefore it is used in both industry and research. However, the measurement time required for data acquisition can be in the range of tens of hours. One way to shorten the measurement time is to reduce the number of acquired data, but this negatively affects the quality of the resulting image reconstruction. To improve the quality of the resulting image reconstruction, various interpolation techniques can be applied. In this work, selected interpolation methods that use deep learning will be applied to data from the laboratory of X-ray micro and nano computed tomography at CEITEC BUT and to data from a public source, and their effectiveness will be evaluated.
Influence of large-scale urban projects on neighbourhood transformation: the case of Nový Smíchov and Smíchovské train station
Šrámek, Vít ; Petrovic, Adél (advisor) ; Špačková, Petra (referee)
This paper focuses on the urban transformation processes in Smíchov and how they influence the physical condition of housing stock there. Only some of the neighborhoods of Prague were analyzed when it comes to gentrification or other urban transformation processes, and even fewer have had their housing stock monitored. This paper then tries to fill a part of this gap. Academic and field research were carried out, and field research analyzing the spatial distribution and physical condition of the housing stock surrounding the two selected case studies in the neighborhood. The results show that the monitored areas around Nový Smíchov and Smíchov train station are generally in good condition with some room for improvement and a few modern building clusters. Based on the condition of the analysis of the housing stock, I answer the research questions: 1) What is the current state of the neighborhood? 2) How did it change in the last (approx. 20 years)? 3) What is the new dominating aesthetic?, 4) What are the possible predictions for the neighborhood's future development?, 5) Who are the main stakeholders influencing these changes, and what does their involvement imply? and draw conclusions, as well as present an actor's map. The actor's maps serve as a great way to capture the relationships behind the...

Influence of sorbent type on dehalogenation of reducing gas without condensing fraction.
Šrámek, Vít ; Skoblia, S. ; Staf, M. ; Beňo, Z. ; Pohořelý, Michael
Chemical recycling of plastics is one of possible option to process large amount of currently difficultly recycled plastic waste. It would be possible to fulfil goals of the amount of recycled waste by means of chemical recycling. Principle of chemical recycling is conversion of plastic waste to basic hydrocarbon substance that could be used in refineries or petrochemical industry. The main technological challenge is the presence of halogens in plastic waste (in plastics as substances containing chlorine in form of PVC or brome in form of additives/flame retardants). During chemical recycling via pyrolysis, these substances can transfer to products and cause problems in succeeding technologies (corrosion, poisoning of catalysts etc.). One of the solutions how to eliminate these unwanted substances could be high temperature sorption of primal pyrolysis gas on sorbents before its condensation. Experiments with model gas containing halogenated compounds and different inorganic sorbents were conducted for this purpose. Gained results allowed us to narrow down the amount of sorbents suitable for high temperature removal of halogenated compounds from primal pyrolysis gas produced during pyrolysis of plastics.

The role of ATP-MgCl2 in ischemia-reperfusion and sepsis
Nalos, Marek ; Kasal, Eduard (advisor) ; Matějovič, Martin (referee) ; Šrámek, Vladimír (referee)
The previously reported multiple beneficial effects of ATP-MgCl2 were tested in two clinically relevant large animal models. We observed mainly cardiovascular effects of ATP-MgCl2 likely related to purinergic receptors stimulation. Adding ATP and its metabolite adenosine to ex vivo LPS stimulated whole human blood cultures and measuring cytokine secretion we have further tested whether modulation of inflammation might be responsible for some of the ATP-MgCl2 effects. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Infusing ATP-MgCl2 intravenously in a porcine I-R injury model of thoracic aortic cross clamping provides better cardiovascular stability compared to currently used standard agent sodium nitroprusside. Although ATP-MgCl2 led to reduced gut lactate release we could not demonstrate any beneficial effects on numerous markers of reperfusion injury. Moreover the combination of sodium nitroprusside with esmolol provided hemodynamic control superior to ATP-MgCl2. 2. In long term hyperdynamic porcine model of sepsis ATP-MgCl2 increased portal venous blood flow, reduced ileal mucosal-arterial pCO2 gap and preserved hepatic arterial buffer response as well as metabolic coupling between lactate release from the gut and its utilization by the liver. Despite the beneficial effects of ATP-MgCl2 on hepatosplanchnic...
Optimization of Hemodynamics of Trauma Patients in Intensive Care Using Transesophageal Doppler Monitoring
Pradl, Richard ; Chytra, Ivan (advisor) ; Málek, Jiří (referee) ; Šrámek, Vladimír (referee)
Esophageal Doppler was confirmed as a useful non-invasive tool for management of fluid replacement in elective surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of early optimization of intravascular volume using esophageal Doppler on blood lactate levels and organ dysfunction development in comparison with standard hemodynamic management in multiple-trauma patients. This was a randomized controlled trial. Multiple-trauma patients with blood loss of more than 2,000 ml admitted to the intensive care unit (1CU) were randomly assigned to the protocol group with esophageal Doppler monitoring and to the control group. Fluid resuscitation in the Doppler group was guided for the first 12 hours of ICU stay according to the protocol based on data obtained by esophageal Doppler, whereas control patients were managed conventionally. Blood lactate levels and organ dysfunction during ICU stay were evaluated. Eighty patients were randomly assigned to Doppler and 82 patients to control treatment. The Doppler group received more intravenous colloid during the first 12 hours of ICU stay (1,667±426 ml versus 682±322 ml; p < 0,0001), and blood lactate levels in the Doppler group were lower after 12 and 24 hours of treatment than in the control group (2,92±0,54 mmol/1 versus 3,23±0,54 mmol/1 [p = 0,0003] and 1,99±0,44...
Hemo elimination method in the treatment of sepsis and early multi-organ dysfunction
Sýkora, Roman ; Matějovič, Martin (advisor) ; Chytra, Ivan (referee) ; Maňák, Jan (referee) ; Šrámek, Vladimír (referee)
The most common cause of death in patients with sepsis/septic shock is deterioration of the function of multiple organs, termed multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Although our understanding of mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of sepsis-induced tissue damage has improved substantially, therapy of these syndromes still remains largely supportive. The hallmark of sepsis is an overwhelming systemic production of both pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators leading to generalized endothelial and epithelial damage, microcirculatory-mitochondrial distress, altered endocrine and coagulation homeostasis and cellular immune hyporesponsiveness. Therefore, the hypothesis that modulation of this excessive immunological and biological response to infection might improve patient outcome appears reasonable. Hemoelimination techniques represent biologically plausible way to provide non-specific removal of soluble pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, although the concept of blood purification in sepsis remains a matter of considerable debate. The aim of this thesis was to elucidate effects of 1) high volume hemofiltration (HVHF) and 2) coupled plasma filtration adsorption (CPFA) in a long-term, hyperdynamic porcine septic shock model, which fulfils the criteria for human sepsis. We hypothesized that both HVHF and...
