Landscape as a tool for narrative in modernist films
Kristóf, György ; Valak, Radim (advisor) ; Vojnár, Ivan (referee)
My main interest is a landscape as a dominating element of space, of a film set; therefore I chose it as a topic for this work.
The introduction deals with picture in narration in general. As it is known ? the picture is a basic pillar of film language, however in many cases its potentials has not been exploited in all its entity. But historical development of narrative structures has been in a close interaction with construction of picture, which, for its part, creates the film space, so with a time the film space got a chance to reveal itself and fulfill its possibilities.
The next part of the text offers a brief overview about development of importance of landscape in film history, however I intentionally stopped and focused my attention on modernism period, which I find the bravest and richest of attempts towards development of film as an art. This period has also made a contribution in creation of landscape in film as aware and meaningful tool of expression.
One of the most unique spaces not only in modernism but also throughout whole film history is Tarkovsky?s Zona. Therefore the main focus will be on this particular space. The first part of the following text will give an introduction to Tarkovsky?s specific approach of film picture and its link with orthodox understanding of icon. The second part will contain analysis and attempt to understand the Zona.

Measurement of acoustic pressure in supraglottal spaces
Vokřál, J. ; Vohradník, M. ; Horáček, Jaromír
The aim is the measurement of acoustic pressure in supraglottal acoustic spaces by miniature microphones. The microphone was placed at the end of laryngeal wire applicator and its position was changed continually from the mouth to the vocal folds. This sources of acoustic signal were used: the own voice - vowels ´A´ and ´E´, and the electronic laryns. Natural frequencies nad acoustic mode shapes of the air vibration were investigated.

Art of a Location
Gajdošíková, Silvie ; Žižka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Matásek, Petr (referee)
Analysis of a three projects Under-on-up in Dresden, Move house specific in New Yorku and Ball lightning project in Prague which is in progres now. They will be introdused in historical kontext and in connection with contemporary art scene.
This thesis is basen on fenomenon f art interventions into authentic space. It´s focused on own projects created in 2009-2010. It´s project Under-on-up in Dresden, Move house specific project in New Yorku and Ball lightning project in Prague planned in 2012.
In this thesis I am going to clarify a terms which are connected with a topic - site specific, genius loci, interaction, instalation, performance, land art, authenticity and community art.
In all projects I analyse theyr concepts, development, sources of inspiration and themes. In a third planned project Ball lightning I describe single motives, connections, and experiences, which woul, in ideal result, pay good interest. I am going to compare theese projects among them according to type of intervention, using of a space, interactivity, estetical proportions and production.
At the end I try to basicly evaluate this comperation and inner substance of art intervention into a specific spaces with accent on a described projects.

Modeling of the response of harmonically excited supraglottal
Dedouch, K. ; Horáček, Jaromír ; Vampola, T.
The goal of the paper is harmonic analysis of supraglottal acoustic space modelled by two FE models. The finite element models represent the male vocal tract in between the vocal folds and the lips. A small flexible plate vibrating in the plane of the vocal folds excites the first FE model. The second FE model is excited by the harmonic acoustic pressure applied in a small circular hole situated in the plane of vocal folds. The excited acoustic field in supraglottal space corresponding to the first FE model is identical with the acoustic modes relevant to the acoustic space with closed - open ends, i.e., to the first two formants.

Interaction of humans and the environment in residential hauses with walls from inorganic masonry
Brada, Lukáš ; Kocourková, Jana (advisor) ; Zemanová, Lucie (referee)
Interaction of humans and the environment, is subject to the occurrence of mold in
residential buildings. Mold development has been the ultimate result of a variety of
phenomena, processes and causes that have penetrated in various stages of preparation,
implementation and operation of buildings. The negative effects which the mold in a residential area buildings exhibit is primarily a reduction in the use of comfort living
space in the form of health risks in the form of allergic reactions and possibly causing
chronic problems. Chronic problems over time can lead to serious illness. A big role in
the occurrence of mold also plays a reduction of aesthetic values of residential spaces
requiring repair and remedy these deficiencies. When removing adverse events leads to
an unnecessary additional environmental burden.
Problems of fungi in ground buildings are very expansive and interdisciplinary
problems, which incorporates structural, termomechanic, chemical and biologic aspects.
In this undergraduate work I concentrated on the origin of fungi in ground buildings
with inorganic materials and I am discribing at least some important sources and aspects
of fungi origin in each phases origin and exploitation building, with usage of specialised
literature. Model compultations and examples of origin fungi are performed.
Autocephalous origin of fungi in residencial buildings is yet fallback situation, which
can be possibly prevented. But due to conditions for origin fugi can begin long ago this
fallback situation. Store of bias each phases living buildings is accentuated on possibly
fugi production in buildings from project up to operation.

The application of advanced statistic methods for evaluation of behavioral studies
Tůma, Michal ; Wittner, Michal (advisor) ; Ort, Michael (referee)
The presented paper shall summarize process and results achieved during a behavioural study of cognitive abilities of rats, in particular of space orientation ability and balance ability. The space orientation ability was examined in the course of task of searching a hidden object in the Morris water maze whereas a modified beam balance test was to prove the latter ability. In the experiment there were employed 30-days old Wistar rats, further divided into the groups according to examined factors. Such factors comprise living environment of the rats, short-time hypoxic stress, anaesthesia applied and impact of order of an experimental day on the performance. Influence of the aforementioned factors on examined cognitive abilities was asses both upon each of such factor separately and on the basis of mutual interaction among such factors. The recorded results show high variability which is more apparent from the descriptive statistics and relatively often in such behavioural studies cases. Neither the t-test nor single-factor analyses of variance were able to prove the influence of either environmental factor or hypoxia factor on the cognitive abilities as statistically relevant. The influence of performance in dependence on a tested individual was ascertained as statistically relevant (p<0,001). When the...

Hollow cone valve capacity in the restricted outflow conditions
Nehudek, Adam ; Haluza,, Miloslav (referee) ; Šulc, Jan (advisor)
The thesis aims to determine the influence partial or complete submerge of hollow cone valve by outflow on its capacity without space restrictions, by outflow into discharge chamber and by outflow into water tunnel of circular cross section. The valve capacity is for mutual comparability purposes usually characterized by discharge coefficient. Research works have been performed on a spatial hydraulic model of the valve with inlet diameter D = 67 mm and an apex angle of a cone 90°. Values of the discharge coefficient obtained from measurements were statistically analyzed. The dependence of discharge coefficient, expressed by energy head, on submerged level was approximated by an exponential function. Exponent value of this function express the dependance rate of valve capacity on downstream water level. This procedure didn’t demonstrate signifiant dependance downstream water level on hollow cone valve capacity, only on tests at outflow to water tunel showed a low increase in the discharge coefficient partly due to the influence of kinetic energy of the stream flowing out of the tunnel on the energy head and also due to underpressure. Independence of discharge coefficient value on valve head has been prooved for head greather than 232 mm. Also was defined 3 stages of interaction outflow jet from valve and downstream water, some of them may cause on real waterworks structures unfavorable situations (may affect excessive load on valve by pressure pulsations). The presented results allow better evaluation of bottom outlets capacity at higher water levels, when the valves are flooded. Significant effect of sufficient aeration (especially in long water tunnels) on valve capacity was also confirmed. Taking into account on the specifics of hollow jet valves and cone valves, it is possible to generalize some of this resultos on them as well.
