Synthesis of quantum dots for in-vivo imaging
Ferdusová, Helena ; Majzlíková, Petra (referee) ; Pekárková, Jana (advisor)
The aim of this work was to synthesise water-soluble QDs using different precursors and stabilizers and to determine the toxicity of the synthesized QDs by in vivo imaging. Experiments were performed on water-soluble QDs (MPA-CdTe, MPA-CdTe/ZnS, MSA-CdTe, MSA-CdTe/ZnS, GSH-CdTe, GSH-CdTe/ZnS, TGA-CdTe, TGA-CdTe/ZnS, GSH-ZnSe and GSH-ZnSe/ZnS ) and toxicity was measured. Synthesized QDs were characterized by high intensity (fluorescence spectroscopy), FWHM and zeta potential (ZS Zetasizer) were selected due to their suitability for this task. The toxicity of QDs was determined by the MTT assay on the cell line HEK 293. The experiments show that a core/shell structure is less toxic than a core structure. The results indicate that the toxicity of our synthesized QDs is the lowest for MPA-CdTe (core structure) and MPA-CdTe/ZnS (core/shell structure).

Synthesis of core/shell quantum dots for diagnostics
Mihajlović, Ana ; Vaculovičová, Markéta (referee) ; Pekárková, Jana (advisor)
This thesis deals with biosensors based on modified semiconductor core/shell quantum dots (QDs) for diagnosis. The work is divided into four main parts. The first one discusses the theory required for the use of QDs in bioaplications, there are described methods of synthesis, modification, application and bioconjugation of QDs. In the experimental part, CdTe/ZnS QDs with core/shell structure were prepared, in which the core was modified by MPA, GSH and TGA. In the next step, these QDs were further modified using CDI, EDC and NHS as mediators in order to increase affinity to BSA (bovine serum albumine) and IgG (imunoglobuline G). Prepared conjugates were characterized by fluorescence spectroscopy (Infinite M200Pro, Tecan) and capillary electrophoresis (Agilent 7100).

Synthesis of spherical gold nanoparticles for biomedical applications
Gablech, Evelína ; Adam, Vojtěch (referee) ; Drbohlavová, Jana (advisor)
Tato práce se zabývá syntézou sférických zlatých nanočástic pro biomedicínské aplikace. Zlaté nanočástice byly syntetizovány ekologicky nezávadnými metodami, kterým je věnována i značná část rešerše. Cílem bylo nasyntetizovat stabilní koloidní zlaté nanočástice vhodné pro různé biomedicínké aplikace zejména, pro in vivo a in vitro zobrazovací metody, kterých přehled je take obsažen v teoretické části práce. Také byl proveden test cytotoxicity, jelikož částice mají být použitelné pro in vivo aplikace. Částice byly dale charakterizovány metodami SEM, DLS a UV-VIS.

Driven chaotic oscillators
Pšeno, Daniel ; Guzan,, Milan (referee) ; Petržela, Jiří (advisor)
The theme of this masters thesis are driven chaotic oscillators. The aim of this project is show the various types of driven chaotic oscillator and propose mathematical model solutions using numerical methods. In the first part of this thesis are shown theory of chaos, history of chaos theory, chaotic systems and chaos quantifiers. Next is numerical analysis of differential equations second order by Runge-Kutta fourth order method. Next part contains circuit blocks and synthesis of oscillators. In next part are defined all types of oscillators. Parameters of analysis, equations, circuits and simulations are defined for each type of driven chaotic oscillators. In each subchapter is design electrical circuit. This circuit is simulated and some of them realized.

Linear prediciton and cepstral synthesis of speech signal in the TTS system
Mekyska, Jiří ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (referee) ; Smékal, Zdeněk (advisor)
This work deals with a linear prediction and cepstral synthesis of speech signal in the TTS (Text-to-Speech) systems with the opportunity of modeling the prosody. The work contains a description of speech signal in acoustic and phonetic plane, the principle of speech production and the way we can figure the speech signal in time and frequency domain. Next, there is the TTS block structure mentioned, whereas each block has its own detailed description. In the work, the modeling of prosody using the three most important suprasegmental features (fundamental tone, continuation and speech intensity) is also described. At the end of this work, there is a design and realization of universal Czech TTS system which is based on the speech synthesis in frequency domain. This system is implemented in program MATLAB.

System engineering innovation with patent search
Mrkvan, Pavel ; Huzlík, Rostislav (referee) ; Bušov, Bohuslav (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with engineering system innovation using TRIZ methodology. This methodology uses algorithmic approach to problem solving and divides innovation into two parts, the analysis and synthesis part. The analytical part consists of steps to help find the problem and its essence, by contrast, offers a part of synthetic procedures to deal with them. The general aim is the utilization of steps and procedures contained in the analysis and synthesis part of the TRIZ methodology to a specific engineering system innovation.

Remote Nature
Richtr, Pavel ; Suchánek, Jiří (referee) ; Krekovič, Slavomír (advisor)
In my thesis I deal with the interactivity between the weather and the virtual model, whose main output is sound. I'm trying to create generative installation where reacts virtua oraganism with real environment and generates signals that can be interpreted in a sound to explore the aesthetic relations of that connection.

Lanthanocene Catalysts for Synthesis of Polymers Applicable in Medicine
Slanina, Ondřej ; Kábelová, Božena (referee) ; Richtera, Lukáš (advisor)
The theoretic part of the thesis focuses on materials used in medicine. The metallic, ceramic, glass-ceramic and polymer materials are systematically described. The biocompatibility of the materials and possible threads of their usage for manufacturing of medicinal devices and implants are emphasized in the discussion. The work is focused especially on polymer materials. Different types of polymerizations are summarized with the accent on the preparation of biodegradable materials. In the practical part the synthesis of two organometallic bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) sandwich complexes with holmium and gadolinium as a central atom designed for preparation of materials suitable for biomedicine is proposed.
