Measurement and Evaluation of Business Performance
Kříž, Jakub ; Škapa, Stanislav (referee) ; Kocmanová, Alena (advisor)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the measurement and evaluation of business performance of a selected Czech company using traditional financial analysis methods. The thesis consists of three main parts. The first is a theoretical basis, providing an overview of the basic concepts and methods of financial analysis as a key tool for understanding the financial situation and measuring performance. The second part focuses on the application of the described methods, during which key trends and shortcomings are identified. The third part is based on these findings, as it proposes solutions to help improve the financial situation and long-term sustainability of the company.

Algorithmic Trading Using Twitter Data
Kříž, Jakub ; Plchot, Oldřich (referee) ; Szőke, Igor (advisor)
This master's thesis describes creation of prediction system. This system predicts future market development based on stock exchange data and twitter messages analysis. Tweets from two different sources are analysed by mood dictionaries or via recurrent neural networks. This analysis results and technical analysis of stock exchange data results are used in multilayer neural network for prediction. A business strategy is created and tested based on results of this prediction. Design and implementation of prediction system is described in this thesis. This system achieved revenue increase more than 25 % of some business strategies by tweets analysis. However this improvement applies for certain data and timeframe.

Remediation of former In-Situ uranium mining region.
Kříž, Jakub ; Kalous, Jaroslav (referee) ; Jícha, Jaroslav (advisor)
Remediation process of region, formally exploited for chemical leaching of uranium, is based on pumping water contaminated mostly by residuals of sulfuric acid from the relevant geological horizons. The contaminated water is then treated in a chemical plant. In the treatment process evaporators play the key role. Presently operating evaporators – three units – are of falling film type. Heating service is provided by compressed vapor that is generated by evaporators. For driving the compressors and associated circulating pumps of each unit electric power of 3,4 MW is required. In the evaporators treated solution is distributed into individual tubes by nozzles of cyclone type that are mounted at the top end of tubes. In the evaporators feed solution contains calcium sulfide of low concentration. Once the calcium sulfide concentration in the evaporating process reaches the state of saturation, even locally, fouling is initiated. Thus the solids start to grow on the inner surface of the tube wall and the nozzle’s openings become restricted. The evaporator performance – evaporating rate – gradually declines and when it reaches the bottom limit the evaporator has to be shut down. This is followed by carrying out the cleaning procedure. At the time when the evaporators started operating (1996) the period between shut downs lasted around a half a year. However, gradually, this period has become substantially shorter – presently it may even last one week only. The thesis proposes two ways of approaching the present hardly acceptable state. First, replacement of distributing nozzles by a set of properly perforated sieve trays secures the uniform distribution of solution into each individual tube. Second, evaporators’ duty will be taken over by newly build multi-flash concentrator that will substitute the presently operating evaporators. Configuration of this new equipment is derived from widely used multi-flash distillation of sea water. Heat required by the concentrator’s end heaters is drawn from a gas turbine exhaust gas. Steam provided by Heat Recovery Steam Generator is supplied to the condensing heat exchangers installed on the evaporator’s feed stream. Generator coupled to the gas turbine, fueled by natural gas, provides the electric power of 30 MW for export.

Acquisition of service information from current terminals of GSM and UMTS cell networks, service procedures for mobile terminals
Kříž, Jakub ; Skořepa, Michal (referee) ; Novotný, Vít (advisor)
This thesis concentrates on the UMTS cellular network and the possibilities of its monitoring. There are several methods of monitoring the UMTS. The technique used in this project is based on monitoring through a cellular terminal. The theoretical part is devoted to the description of the UMTS system and the WCDMA technique. The practical part then deals with the method of UMTS monitoring through a cellular terminal and describes in detail individual screens of the FTD (Field Test Display) program, the Netmonitor functions and their parameters. The next part of this thesis analyses the RRC messages, which were recorded during the realization of services (video calls, calls, data transfers) in the UMTS network. The last chapters of the thesis are briefly dealing with software and hardware servicing of cellular terminals. The attachment then offers two lab tasks, in which the students get acquainted with the UMTS network structure and the behaviour of the cellular terminal in this network.

Simulation of Cooperation of Agents in Jason Environment
Kříž, Jakub ; Zbořil, František (referee) ; Král, Jiří (advisor)
This work deals with creation of simulator of multi-agent system in which agents cooperate. Reader is introduced to basics of agent systems, their creating and modeling. Design of environment in which agents exist and task they solve is described in this work. There are designed and implemented three levels of racional BDI inteligence of agents with different level of cooperation - without cooperation, weak cooperation and complex cooperation. Whole system is implemented in Jason framework and extensively tested. Behavior of agents is analyzed and levels of intelligence are compared based on simulation experiments. Achieved results prove dominance of team in which agents cooperate more.

Design and analysis of braking system for cultivator trailer
Dey, Arpan ; Kříž, Jakub (referee) ; Zeizinger, Lukáš (advisor)
A pneumatic drum brake system for a cultivator trailer consists of several components, including the brake drum, brake shoes, pneumatic actuator, air compressor, air reservoir, and control valve. Once the brake pedal is pressed by the driver, the control valve releases compressed air from the air reservoir into the pneumatic actuator (slave cylinder). The actuator converts the air pressure into mechanical force, which pushes the brake shoes against the inner surface of the brake drum. This generates friction, which slows down and stops the trailer. The brake drum is attached to the cultivator trailer's wheel hub and rotates with it. The brake shoes are mounted on a stationary backing plate and positioned inside the brake drum. They are curved to match the contour of the drum's inner surface, maximising the contact area between the shoes and the drum. The air compressor is responsible for supplying compressed air to the system. It draws in air from the environment and compresses it to a much higher pressure, which is stored in the air reservoir. The control valve regulates the flow of air between the reservoir and the actuator, depending on the driver's input (pedal pressure). Overall, the pneumatic drum brake system provides a reliable and effective means of controlling the speed and stopping the cultivator trailer, particularly in heavy-duty applications where high braking forces are required.
