Electrochemical Valorization of Lignocellulosic Biomass Amination of Furfural and 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural
Donkeng Dazie, Joel ; Koláčná, Lucie ; Urban, Jiří ; Lamač, Martin ; Ludvík, Jiří
Furfural (FF) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) isolated from waste lignocellulosic biomass represent renewable sources. The present contribution deals with the transformation of FF and HMF into furfuryl amines which are important precursors namely for pharmaceutical synthesis. First, FF and HMF underwent condensation reactions with various amines which were electrochemically monitored to optimize the process. The resulting Schiff bases were identified by NMR and subsequently electrochemically reduced in basic media. The vicinal diamine (aminopinacol) was the main product besides the expected furfuryl amines. This reaction is a contribution to green synthesis because it was performed electrochemically, in water, and without any metallic catalysts.

THE REDUCTION OF SIGNAL DYNAMIC IN ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEX SYSTEMS
Urban, Josef ; Lúč, Andrej (referee) ; Galajda,, Pavol (referee) ; Maršálek, Roman (advisor)
This doctoral thesis is focused into the area of multicarrier radio communications systems. These systems are perspective for current and incoming mobile communications and wireless networks. Advantages of multicarrier systems like better multipath propagation resistivity are redeemed by some disadvantages. The high peak to average power ratio of transmitted signal belongs to these disadvantages, for its inconvenience for high efficient power amplification. The thesis concerns with peak to average power ratio reduction methods for OFDM systems, that belongs to the most used multicarrier systems. One of the main objectives is the modification of the existing methods with the intention of complexity reduction. Following subject of interest is the analysis of suitable methods combinations possibilities for more significant peak to average power ratio reduction. One part of this thesis is research of influence of these methods on the OFDM signals with different parameters.

Implementation of laser technology
Urban, Jan ; Mouralová, Kateřina (referee) ; Osička, Karel (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to describe the replacement of wire cutting laser cutting for cutting inserts made of hard material. Description of current situation in the company Vydona, tender and choice of laser and the need for post-laser workshop. The next section deals with the cutting of a particular sample. The last part of the technical economic assessment are calculated hourly rates of machines and the time and cost loads of different cutting inserts.

GSM alarm for motorcycles
Beníček, Martin ; Fedra, Zbyněk (referee) ; Urban, Josef (advisor)
The main target of this work is to design and to implement unfailable safety appliance for motocycles with use any GSM technology. In my masters’s thesis I applied to individaul fields which I had to knows for realization of this work. The introductory chapter tells the reader about evaluation of former semestral projects and about brief description of the realized mechanism. It is followed by descripctoin of principles of communication between PC and mobile phone. The main part of my work is dedicated to application itself. The applicaton is called motoalarm. The last chapter creates description service of localisation mobil phones which is called Kde je... The conclusion includes evaluation of this master´s project and general description of the realized mechanism.
