Multiple sequence alignment using genetic algorithms
Pátek, Zdeněk ; Mráz, František (advisor) ; Pešková, Klára (referee)
Title: Multiple sequence alignment using genetic algorithms Author: Zdeněk Pátek Department: Department of Software and Computer Science Education Supervisor: RNDr. František Mráz, CSc. Abstract: The thesis adresses the problem of multiple sequence alignment (MSA). It contains the specication of the proposed method MSAMS that allows to find motifs in biological sequences, to split sequences to blocks using the motifs, to solve MSA on the blocks and nally to assemble the global alignment from the aligned blocks and motifs. Motif search and MSA are both solved using genetic algorithms. The thesis describes the implementation of the method, conguration of its settings, benchmarking on the BAliBASE database and comparison to the ClustalW program. Experimental results showed that MSAMS can discover better alignments than ClustalW. Keywords: multiple sequence alignment, motif nding, genetic algorithms, ClustalW

"Everything's light and everything's upwards, the dance of elephants being uppermost". The metaphors of the movement in poetry of the poet Vladimir Holan.
Hudcová, Zuzana ; Heczková, Libuše (advisor) ; Wiendl, Jan (referee)
The purpose of the thesis is to deal with a writings of Vladimir Holan as a thematic unity, where the motifs are transformed. The metamorphosis depend on a time, when they have been written in. Our used method of his writings is in a chronological order. This thesis is focused on the motif of a movement and his metamorphosis in poetry of Vladimir Holan. The aim is to penetrate the problems of the movement as a physical activity and approached the movement as a confirmation of existence on a basis of Patočka's phenomenological phylosophy. Other chapters pay attention to analysis of motifs of movement, which are recognizable in Holan's poetry. Their feature change from lightness and freedom to heaviness and limitation. Afterwards the point of this work reaches the axis: a wind - a wave - a water flowed - a bird - a cloud - a stone - a snake - a wall. Due to the better understanding of Holan's work, we make a passing comment about the motifs which are connected with notised above. These connections will able to put our thoughts about Holan's conception in order.

The conductive layers in LTCC
Poledník, Tomáš ; Psota, Boleslav (referee) ; Kosina, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor thesis was focused on a determination of the limits of screen printing and on estabilishing a power loading of layers on LTCC. It describes the print of the conductive themes via the screen-printing method on the substrata. The thesis contains the description of a measuring on the conductive layers, and a processing its results. It was also performed the printing of layers on a corundum ceramics in order to compare the results. From the measured values were formed the graphs, which represent the possibility of the power loading of layers depending on the temperature and on the width of the thick-layer guide.

Early reception of Mácha’s "Marinka" in 1830s and 1840s Czech literature
Charypar, Michal
Mácha’s tale "Marinka", which came out as a part of his Obrazy ze života mého (Pictures from My Life, 1834), aroused an unexpectedly emphatic reception not in criticism, but in the Czech literature of the time. Apart from direct allusions (made by František Jaromír Rubeš and Jan Pravoslav Přibík) there are also prose writings which are indirectly yet more deeply for all that inspired by this tale (by Karel Sabina, Jan Jindřich Marek and others). We can observe the path followed by Mácha's inspirational impulse, and the results which he brought about. Intertextual analysis can supply us with new information about the reception of Mácha's text (and the poet himself) and at the same time it inevitably leads to attempts to identify and evaluate the intertextual transfer of individual literary motifs, topics, plot components etc., as a literary phenomenon characteristic not only of the post-Máchian period.
