Basel II and IS/ICT
Kovář, Petr ; Bruckner, Tomáš (advisor) ; Fleischmann, Martin (referee)
The Basel II Framework ensures banks are well capitalized. It is designed to be more risk sensitive than the old Basel Capital Accord and considers operational risk, such as "the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal procesess, people and systems or from external events." Banks are forced to calculate the regulatory capital charge for operational risk and want to optimize it. IT is a substantial part of operational risk and therefore is a part of the regulatory capital charge for operational risk. The Basel Committee requires banks to implement a framework to manage operational risk. One objective of this study is to provide description of this framework, IT aspects of operational risk and IT governance under Basel II, based on available sources of information. Another objective is to design processes for assessing and managing IT and operational risks under Basel II. Last but not least objective of this study is to disclose recent credit risk data and indicators for consolidated sector and large banks in the Czech republic. The amount of the regulatory capital charge for operational risk is an important part of the overall capital charge. This work increases IT practitioner's understanding of such topics as assessing and managing operational risk under Basel II.

Skoumalová, Zuzana ; Jan, Vít (referee) ; Doležal, Pavel (advisor)
During high pressure pulsation tests repeated cracks of CP3. housings occur. High pressure pump CP3 is part of injection system Common Rail. Cracks can be caused by segregation of phosphorous from a washing medium on grain boundaries during subsequent heat treatment process. The present master´s thesis focuses on analysis of phosphorous compounds on specimen surface made from steel 20MnCr5, which were soaked in solutions with different concentration of phosphorous. Master’s thesis is also focused on potencial influence of phosphorous on structure and properties of this material. The first part of the thesis provides a summary of current knowledge in the studied field, experimental results can be found in the second part. The surface analysis XPS, the light microscopy, the scanning electron microscopy equipped by energy dispersive chemical analysis, the glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy, the methods of the phase analysis by means of the X-ray diffraction and impact test were used.

Ion attachment and ion emission of dust grains
Vyšinka, Marek ; Němeček, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Wild, Jan (referee)
Small dust grains could be found in many environments. Because of their size, their charge and the electric forces acting on them play an important role in their dynamics. The dust grain charge is influenced by many different processes. Among other methods, charging processes can be studied by trapping a single dust grain inside an electrodynamic quadrupole where it is put into specific environment (ion or electron beam, UV radiation). The progress of the charging process can be inferred from the changes in the grain charge. Our work contributed to the building of a new laboratory set-up for study of the charging processes. Specifically, a new Faraday cup for measurements and stabilization of the ion and electron gun currents is designed and its function verified. It solves the shortcomings of the previously used Faraday cups. Further, an amplifier for the ion gun current measurement is designed and constructed along with the design of digital stabilization of the current. The stabilization is neccesary for the interpretation of measurement results and its digitalization will allow more flexible adjustment and easier connection with the control computer. Finally, data acquired during the charging of dust grain with different ion species are evaluated in order to study the effect of different ions on surface...

"Ab initio" study of Cu-Ce-O interface
Szabová, Lucie ; Matolín, Vladimír (advisor) ; Chvoj, Zdeněk (referee)
"Ab initio" study of interface Cu-Ce-O Abstract: The present work is a theoretical analysis based on the numerical DFT+U simulations investigating the structural and electronic properties of Cu/CeO2 model systems, which have important applications as heterogeneous catalysts for environment protection and energy sources. We provide a detailed insight into the cohesion of the interface between metal Cu nanoparticles supported on CeO2 substrates. This issue is analyzed both in context of small supported Cu clusters as well as for the extended interface underneath Cu nanoparticles on ceria surfaces. These cases were modelled with a Cu(111)/CeO2(111) interface and with a Cu adatom adsorbed at the oxidized and reduced CeO2(111) surface, respectively. The thesis provides a direct correlation between the cohesive and electronic properties mediated by the charge transfer process. The reduction of surface cerium atoms in the presence of copper either in form of adatom, thin copper layer or a slab of copper is predicted to result from charge transferred from the metal. Since cerium reduction is suggested to play an important role into the catalytic activity of ceria-based catalysts, by predicting the reduction of cerium ions in the presence of copper it can be expected that Cu/CeO2 systems will have important...
