Postprandial thermophily in spiny-tailed agama Uromastyx acanthinurus
STARÁ, Zuzana
Postprandial thermophily (PT) is an increase of preferred body temperature following food consumption. PT helps to maximize digestive functions. We compared the preferred body temperature after feeding in a species Uromastyx acanthinurus. We tested ten individuals and repeated each experiment twice. Our results clearly demonstrate the occurrence of postprandial thermophily in Uromastyx acanthinurus. The average temperature raised 3,82°C after feeding. We found the marginal significance of the relationship between temperature before and after feeding and the length of the individual.

Microclimatic conditions in train, public city transport and long distance transport driver´s cabins
VÍT, Zbyněk
In my paper I´ve intended to collect theoretical knowledge of the issue of microclimatic conditions in the workplace and it´s impact on health and performance of the worker with the scope to workplaces ? cabins of train, city public transport and long distance transport drivers. I have proceeded from legally binding regulations. In the theoretical part I have described particular requirements and limits of factors affecting the quality of the inner workplace environment. After the theoretical part I have dealt with the practical part where I have proceeded from measurements which I have attended personally. I have completed my own measurements with the results of other measurement records elaborated by State Health Institute in Prague. Perspective measurements were interesting due to the ways technical devices were working and set to provide optimum microclimatic conditions in workplace. The largest measurement results were those from electric train units, known in our railway transport system as ?Pendolino?. While in the workplaces of engine drivers the set year-long inner environment limits have been mainly implemented, in the driver workplaces of public city and long distance transport, summer outside conditions had an impact on significant worsening of the microclimatic conditions ? a big temperature load on drivers, which is impossible to be eliminated without financially demanding measures.

EFFECT OF ENVIRONMENT ON THE BEHAVIOR OF CALVES
HAISOVÁ, Dita
The aim of this work was monitored by video recordings made in the ZD Krásná Hora nad Vltavou, 6 different types of outdoor hutches and individual one on the basis of different behavior of calves to evaluate the suitability of different types either for breeding dairy calves in the period. Investigations were carried out in winter and summer, was used in recording AVI Windows Media Player with a length of 1-minute intervals. Heifers of Czech Spotted cattle were monitored. Length of stay of individual calves in outdoor hutches was from 83-87 days. The purpose of monitoring was to evaluate the length of stay of calves within each individual outdoor hutches and length of stay outside. In each hut were installed sensors, reported the values of internal temperature and relative humidity at intervals of 15 minutes. Given that microclimate should be in different climatic conditions to create an optimal environment for the calves, the criteria have been satisfied welfare length of stay inside the shed. The average outdoor temperature during the reporting period of the winter fell to -2.54° C. In this period, the individual VIB measured average indoor temperature of -0.04 ° C to -1.43 ° C. During the follow up period was recorded in summer average daily temperature of 19.79 ° C. Summer temperatures average in each of the VIB was 21.14 ° C - 22.27 ° C. These data were no statistically significant temperature differences (P ? 0.05) between the VIB in winter and in summer. The average relative humidity in the microclimate in the winter of VIB reached values ranging from 79.57% to 86.76% in summer from 59.59% to 63.55%. In the winter when evaluating indicators of microclimatic relative humidity between VIB was a statistically significant difference P?0.05 (1:2, 2:3, 2:4, 2:5, 2:6). In winter, the length of stay within the VIB calves ranged from 73.96% - 88.96% of the reference time. Differences between the lengths of stay within the VIB calves were statistically significant (P?0.05 to P?0.001). Over the summer period, length of residence either within the calves ranged from 65.68% - 80.85% of the reference time. Differences between the lengths of stay during the summer period were significant (P?0.05 to P?0.001). Total for the period was the top-rated wooden shed ZD Krasna Hora nad Vltavou.

Ecological demands of the selected planktonic algae and cyanobacteria from the order Nostocales. Light intensity and temperature optima of the water-bloom dominant species in the ponds and reservoir in the Czech Republic.
KOHELOVÁ, Hana
This thesis is aimed on cyanobacterial water blooms. It deals with the composition of cyanobacterial water blooms, factors which cause its emergence, effect it has on environment, termination of cyanobacterial bloom and ways of how to restrict it. My thesis contains the chapter devoted to the cyanobacterial bloom characteristic, which gives them advantage over other organisms in plankton and over other cyanobacteria as well. It also contains general description of fishponds and reservoirs and locality description (fishpond Svět and Rod, water reservoir Římov, Jihočeský kraj), which were the sources of species tested in this experiment. The aim of the experiment was to find out the optimal temperatures and light for the growth of seven strains of cyanobacteria and one species of green alga. The experiment was conducted by cross-table gradient of temperature and light method (KVÍDEROVÁ a LUKAVSKÝ, 2001. Data of the strains growth in different combinations of temperature and light intensity was processed in program Statistika (ANONIMUS, 1996). Valence of each strain has its maximum and minimum values. In their mean, there is an optimum for the growth. Charts depicting maximal-minimal values and optimum of strains for temperature and light were created in Microsoft Excel. Details between temperature and light demand of strains were tested by PCA analysis in program CANOCO 4.5 and visualised by CANODRAW (TER BRAAK a ŠMILAUER, 1998). It resulted in particular values, which are comparable with similar laboratory tests.

Equipment for temperature measurements
HORELICA, Josef
This work deals with theoretical description, practical connection of temperature measuring instruments and how they function while measuring the temperature. This document explaines basic concepts of temperature, temperature scales and temperature measuring. Further there are introduced standard types of sensors used in these measuring intruments. This document includes a picture presentation in PowerPoint, where an aggregate table of sensors and an application of these sensors in measuring instruments are introduced. The objective of this work is to provide a comprehensive view of this problem.

Evaluation microclimate in dairy farming in chosen enterprise and proposal for improvement.
VACUŠKA, Josef
The substance of this bachelor work is mainly to evaluate microclimate in dairy farming and to suggest ways for it{\crq}s improvement. Dairy farm is located in chosen enterprise. The work describes characteristics of temperature, moisture, wind{\crq}s speed in chosen stable and it{\crq}s impact on animals. Next step was to propose the ways which could that microclimate adjust on values, in which animals are felling well.
