Role of activation analysis in the preparation of reference materials
Kučera, Jan
The fundamentals of neutron activation analysis (NAA) and prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA) and practices of both methods are briefly review, together with enlightening their specific role in the preparation of reference materials. The importance of homogeneity testing for the certification and use of reference materials (RMs) using NAA is appraised. Examples of the use of NAA and PGAA for the certification of element contents in environmental, biological, and material science RMs produced by world-leading institutions, such as U.S. NIST, IRMM, IAEA and by national institutions, as well, at the Nuclear Physics Institute within last almost 30 years are presented.

Advanced Magnesium Alloys Surface Modification by Ni-P Based Coatings
Kosár, Petr ; Pacal, Bohumil (referee) ; Nový,, František (referee) ; Havlica, Jaromír (advisor)
The dissertation thesis deals with the modification of the surface of advanced magnesium alloys with Ni-P based coatings. At the beginning of the theoretical part, the structures of the used magnesium alloys and the influence of individual alloying elements on their properties are characterized. In the following part of the thesis the current knowledge in the field of electroless deposition on metal substrates is summarized. The theoretical part of the thesis is closed with contemporary research study in the field of clarification and determination of possible mechanism of electroless deposition. For the subsequent investigation of the mechanism of electroless deposition on magnesium alloys, it was necessary to characterize the microstructure and composition of individual magnesium alloys in the first phase of the experimental part. The exact composition of elements was determined using glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy with EDS was used for composition of phases of magnesium alloys. Using scanning electron microscopy and detailed elemental analysis of the coated magnesium substrate, it was found that for optimal Ni-P coating deposition on magnesium alloys, acid pickling prior coating is required in a mixture of acetic acid and sodium nitrate. Using the XPS method, it was found that the phosphorus atom in the sodium dihydride-diphosphate reducing agent has a + V charge. 4 At the end of the experimental part scanning electron microscopy and detailed elemental analyses were used for monitoring of the Ni-P particles nucleation and growth in the first 120 seconds of the coating process.

Possibilities of determination of metalocompounds present in living systems
Hauerlandová, Petra ; Zemanová, Jana (referee) ; Vitoulová, Eva (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the topic of metallomics. There are explained basic concepts and definitions, differences between the metal-binding proteins and metalloproteins. This thesis also deals with metallothioneins and theirs basic types. The study describes possible interactions of metals and organic compounds. Attention is paid to interactions between metals and peptides or proteins. There are given examples of some essential metals, which are linked to important organic compounds, which are necessary for the proper function of the organism. Mainly there are described enzymes necessary for the human body. There are also referred organic compounds of toxic metals. Another part of the thesis is devoted to analytical methods used for determination of metallocompounds. There are described methods for separation and detection, which are combined for qualification and quantification of metallocompounds. There are referred examples of the determination of some metallocompounds.

Analysis of elements in nutrition supplements
Motlová, Tereza ; Navrátilová, Jana (referee) ; Vitoulová, Eva (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with food supplements, mineral elements and their determination in dietary supplements. The aim of this thesis was to elaborate a literature review focused on the food supplements, mineral elements, which are used in food supplements, and methods for determination of mineral elements in nutrition supplements. Forepart of this bachelor treats of food supplements, their basic categories, mineral elements which are contained in nutrition supplements and their effects in case of their oversupply (at high doses) or lack (at low concentrations) in a human body. Other part of this thesis is concerned with options of mineral elements determination in food supplements. Thereinafter, the thesis deals with ways of preparing samples for determination and analytical methods which are used for determination of mineral elements in nutrition supplements. Food supplements are foodstuffs which serve to direct consumption. Supplements differ from casually foodstuffs by high contents of vitamins, mineral elements and others matters which have nutrition and physiological effect. Food supplements are manufactured in order to achieve a diet completion of common user with positive impact on human health.

12M-IMMEDIATE Research Report: Preparation of Pt on Carbon Black Supported Catalysts
Kaluža, Luděk ; Zdražil, Miroslav ; Gulková, Daniela ; Vít, Zdeněk ; Šolcová, Olga ; Soukup, Karel ; Maixnerová, Lucie
The aim of this work was to elucidate on advanced preparation of Pt/C catalysts from TimCal carbon black and H2PtCl6. The attention was directed to residual content of chloride in the prepared catalysts and scale-up to the amount about 1 gram of final product. The textrual properties of the supports and selected catalyst were studied by nitrogen physisorption. The analytical methods such as instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA), liquid ion chromatography (LC), and titration with silver nitrates were applied for Cl analysis. Electron probe micro analysis (SEM-EDX), hydrogen chemisorption, temperature programed desorption of hydrogen (TPD) and a simplified determination of ignition temperature in air flow were used for Pt/C catalysts characterization.

Analytical methods and controlling in business activities
PETRÁŇOVÁ, Lucie
Objective of this thesis is to review analytical methods and controlling in business activities, describe individual routes and then analyze their application in a concrete company TSE, s r. o. in České Budějovice, eventually to recommend introduction of new ones and determine their future benefit for company. This thesis contains a description of company accounting in the corporate-led program, together with an evaluation of the introduction of its new version. It evaluates the possibility of controlling and improving of its processing by controlling instruments through computer technology. In terms of financial controlling the thesis is mainly devoted to analyzing the economic performance of the company and selected indicators of financial analysis to provide a picture of the company. In the end there are summarized steps, that could improve informedness of the management about financial situation, but also could simplify the process of planning, decision making and monitoring. This could also create conditions for implementation of new methods.
