The Historical maps available on the internet
SCHMIED, Lukáš
With coming of digital technologies, cartography has changed a lot. Today?s cartographic products are usually created in the digital form, as vector drawings. These data are able to be published either in desktop applications or in the Internet.The data can be not only displayed, but they can be published by the Web Map Services technology. The data can be in an easy way joined to any GIS application keeping appropriate standards.

Archaeological findings Avar-Slavic girdle fitting in the Czech Republic
VARAUSOVÁ, Michaela
The subject of this thesis is processing found Avar-Slavic belt fitting the territory of the Czech Republic. One of the most important aims of this thesis is the develop a typology of belt fitting and subsequent broken down into tables. The next aim is to provide a basic overview and informations about found tip of the Czech Republic. However, attention was paid to typology of the part of a horse harness. One part of this thesis is catalog of found belt fitting too, which was created of the basis of informations of the available literature.

Bayesian classification of digital images by web application
Talich, M. ; Böhm, O. ; Soukup, Lubomír
The contribution introduces web application for image classification that has been developed at the Research Institute of Geodesy, Topography and Cartography in the framework of grant project InGeoCalc (supported by Ministry of education of the Czech Republic). The web application is aimed to display, examine and classify digital image data. The data are expected to be obtained from Internet by means of Web Map Services (WMS) or from other sources (possibly non-registered). Image data from different sources can be combined and presented as composition of layers (coverage) with adjustable degrees of transparency. After gathering the data, Bayesian (supervised) classification is applied to distinguish separate regions in the image. User can choose between several classification methods and adjust pertinent parameters. Furthermore, several subsequent basic analytical tools are offered, namely computation of distances, areas or perimeters related to the classified regions, simple statistical summaries about classification results (e.g. distribution of classes, percentage of non-classified regions, etc.). The classification results and registration parameters can be saved for further use. The web application is based on common Internet standards (HTML, Javascript, SVG). The only requirement for running the application is an up-to-date Internet browser supporting SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). Typical usage of the web application can involve land cover mapping based on satellite or aerial images. The application is available free of charge for any Internet user.

Using European Data in Journalism
Barr, Caelainn
The European Union is awash with numbers. Data about how european citizens live and our taxes are spent are widely available - the challenge lies in using them. Figures are published on a centralised, national and regional basis with little in common. Data formats, presentation and quality vary greatly. How can we use this information as citizens and journalists to understand the union and generate stories? Why should journalists and developers work together to look at European data? Using practical and live examples of data use including commission expenses and structural funds we will demonstrate how to get EU data, how to prepare it for analysis, the trends to look out for and how to translate it into a story.

Collecting the EU's Regional Funds
Lindenberg, Friedrich
One of the key funding mechanisms of the European Union is the Regional Policy, which helps to implement infrastructure projects across the 27 member states. Money is allocated along a set of objectives and disbursed at the regional level, by 60-odd managing bodies. But who is getting the money and what is it really spent on? The answer lies distributed across the local administrations and has only been collected into a common database once, in 2010. It took the TBIJ and Financial Times eight months to gather the information, leading to a series of disclosures about misallocated funds and shady projects. This is why we believe that there should be a constantly-updated database of these reports, maintained by an open community and available as a resource to journalists and policy makers at any time. The right time to start such a data commons, as the 2007-2013 budgetary cycle of the EU is coming to a close and it's time to get a picture of how well the goals set out for 347 billion Euros of funding during this period have been reflected in actual projects. We want to make a map of member states and regions where open data projects are already collecting this data and then form small teams to take on the uncharted terrtories, find PDF reports and to convert them to clean and useable data. So, join the ERDF Ghostbusters and help us to map the European money!

Theoretical Background for Predicting the Properties of Petroleum Fluids via Group Contribution Methods
Bogdanić, Grozdana ; Pavlíček, Jan ; Wichterle, Ivan
The major problem encountered in the petroleum industry lies in the proper thermodynamic representation of rather complex fluids. In this work, the UNIFAC group contribution method for predicting the properties of such fluids has been exploited as a basis for their description in terms of model compounds. Standard thermodynamic procedures are used to estimate the critical properties, acentric factors, and molecular weights for the model compounds. In such a way, the already available generalized methods can be used for calculations of the phase equilibrium in complex petroleum mixtures.

Economic aspects of brownfield regeneration in South Bohemia
PŘIBYL, David
The purpose of this thesis is to highlight the issue of brownfields. Green Meadow is still dominant because investors often care about making their edifice was built on the spot where now nothing happened, but on the other hand, brownfields have their advantages and disadvantages. The content of this paper is a general definition and the definition of terms as they are perceived by organizations that issue. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the economic regeneration of brownfield sites in selected South Bohemian region consisting of the assessment of costs and benefits associated with brownfields. Brownfields selection was made based on the availability of information and the suitability of the sample for evaluation.

Regional distribution of German-Czech multinationals on the domestic market
Moritz, M. ; Münich, Daniel ; Schäffler, J. ; Srholec, Martin
The article deals with the domestic location of German multinational firms which have affiliates in the Czech Republic. Due to the common border the Czech Republic represents an attractive target country for both vertical and horizontal direct investments. On the one hand, the still existing wage gap offers the opportunity to offshore activities abroad by reason of cost advantages. On the other hand, the increasing purchasing power of Czech customers provides favorable chances to acquire a new market. On the basis of a register of firms made available by the German-Czech Chamber of Industry and Commerce we present findings on the growing economic integration between the two countries. Almost 80% of the headquarters of German investors are located in the four federal states Bavaria, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia. The eastern German New Laender are far less engaged in investments in the neigh-boring country. We use count data models in order to account for the distribution of the dependent variable, i.e. the number of investors in the German domestic regions. Controlling for several economic factors it can be concluded that the headquarters of German multinationals investing in the Czech Republic are preferably located in areas with high regional GDP. The distance to the common border plays an important role for the decision to enter the Czech market. In addition, regions that are situated directly at the German-Czech border are involved at an above-average rate in foreign direct investment. Thereby, location patterns differ between manufacturing firms and both trading and service companies.

Estimating market probabilities of future interest rate changes
Hlušek, Martin
The goal of this paper is to estimate the market consensus forecast of future monetary policy development and to quantify the priced-in probability of interest rate changes for different future time horizons. The proposed model uses the current spot money market yield curve and available money market derivative instruments (forward rate agreements, FRAs) and estimates the market probability of interest rate changes up to a 12-month horizon.
