Beef cattle breeding in the marginal regions of the Southern and the Western Bohemia
KYNKALOVÁ, Pavlína
The aim of this diploma work was to evaluate the level of beef utility at particular breeds. The breeds were bred in different climatic conditions of foothills and mountain regions of the Southern and the Western Bohemia. It was observed the use of permanent green grass by beef cattle´s pasture in relation of reached utility. There were included in total 31 farms in monitoring. The farms keep 7 breeds (Aberdeen Angus, Galloway, Hereford, Highland, Charolais, Simentál and Salers). There were 16 farms situated in regions under 600 meters above sea-level and 15 farms in regions over 600 meters above sea-level. The data were collected during 5 years. At cows, month of calving and occurrance of complicated births, have been recorded. The weight of calves at birth, in the age of 120, 210 and in certain cases also 365 days, has been checked. There were counted the average daily gains to mentioned weights. The group has been sorted according to breeds, elevation above sea-level and sex of the calves.

Using biotechnological methods in beef cattle herds
ZATLOUKAL, Jakub
The aim of this dissertation consists in analysing the results of the biotechnological techniques (insemination, embryotransfer) for a selected herd of meat-type cattle raised in a foothills countryside dutiny 5 years (2002 {--} 2006) and their comparison with natural breeding. The results this obtained are presented in dependence on the breed, fater{\crq}s origin and calving month. The analysis involves 795 Charolais calves and 450 meat-type Siemental calves. In the Charolais group insemination gave 275 calves, while natural breeding gave 520 calves. In the case of meat-type Siemental group the corresponding numbers are 179 and 271, accordingly. After embryotranfer we have got 4 Charolais calves and 15 calves of the other breed. The work evaluates the influence of the technique of breeding on to the rate of calf grow, with this investigation being performed in dependence on the breed. The meat-type Siemental bulls have shown a significant difference (p {>} 0,05) in the live weight of the calves 120 and 365 days old. In this age bulls born after insemination have been heavier (183,9 kg, 527,9 kg) in comparison with bulls born after natural breeding (172,4 kg, 497,0 kg). Concerming Charolais bulls, no statistically significant difference in the live weight have been found. In addition, no significant influence of the mode of breeding on to the live weight has been found for heifers of both breeds. Concerning the effect of the calving month on the rate of grow, the meat-type Siemntal calves have shown a highly statistically significant (p {>} 0,001) difference in the live weight of calves born in March. The live weights of calves born in March and weighed at 120, 210 and 365 days have been 181,17 kg, 289,2 kg and 510,31 kg, these values being valid for calves after insemination. The corresponding values for natural breeding are lower, particularly 168,26 kg, 271,37 kg and 439,59 kg. In addition a statistically considerable difference (p {>} 0,01) in the live weight has been found for calves 120 days old if the calves were born in April. Insemination has led to a live weight of 194,5 kg, while natural breeding to 168,9 kg. In the group of Charolais calves a statistically significant difference (p {>} 0,01 {--} 0,05) has been found at the age of 365 days. Calves born after insemination had a higher live weight (462,85 kg) as compared to those born after natural breeding (432,85 kg). As concerns the parameters characterising fertility, the following ones have been analysed: the service period (SP), the birth-to-birth interval and the percentage of becoming pregnanat after the first insemination. For the whole period under investigation, the SP value for the Charolais calves (T 100) has been 89,19 days while for the meat-type Siemental calves (S 100) 80,04 days. As concerns the birth-to-birth period found for Charolais (381,32 days) and the meat-type Siemental (390,35 days), it may be stated that these results are satisfactory. The percentage of becoming pregnant after the first insemination has shown a downword trend for both breeds in the course of the years under study. Investigated paramentrs of growth and reproduction are markedly influenced by the breed.

Microbial degradation of 17alfa-ethinylestradiol and bisphenol A
Křesinová, Zdena ; Svobodová, Kateřina ; Moeder, M. ; Cajthaml, Tomáš
17ethinylestradiol (EE2) and bisphenol A (BA) are endocrine disrupting compounds (ED). ED have a negative influence on animals and human hormonal systems animals, and thus they are serious envronmental contaminants. This work was focused on biodegradtion of EE2 and BA using 8 white rot fungi strains in liquid media. Pleurotus ostreatus, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus and Irpex lacteus were able to remove both ED under detection limit (initial concetration was 10 ppm) during the first three days of cultivation. In contrary, Phanerochaete chrysosporium was not able to degrade both ED durin 2 weaks long cultivation

První nález Romanogobio vladykovi v povodí Nidy, Polsko
Nowak, M. ; Mendel, Jan ; Szczerbik, P. ; Koščo, J. ; Klaczak, A. ; Popek, W.
The Danube whitefin gudgeon Romanogobio vladykovi Fang, 1943 belongs to the R. albipinnatus (Lukasch, 1933) species group. In the territory of Poland so-called whitefin gudgeon was recorded for the first time in the middle stretches of Vistula River (1965). Since then the species has been found in some 20 localities in the Vistula and Odra River drainages. In May and July 2009 two specimens identified initially as belonging to the R. albipinnatus species group were caught in the main course of Nida River. Molecular approach based on combination of both mitochondrial and nuclear markers confirmed occurrence of R. vladykovi on Polish territory. This conclusion alters the knowledge about the distribution of the species of the R. albipinnatus species group. Kottelat and Freyhof (2007) considered that the territory of Poland is inhabited by R. belingi, whereas R. vladykovi is restricted only to the drainage area of Danube River.

Jiroušek, Ondřej ; Zlámal, Petr ; Kytýř, Daniel ; Kroupa, M.
To explore the possibilities of modern X-ray detectors an experimental setup with trabecular bone sample under uni-axial load in special loading device enabling time-lapse tomography was used. The load was applied gradually and after complete tomographic scanning the deformed shape was reconstructed. Collected 3-D images help to study the deformation process of the micro-structure where collapsing of individual trabeculae can be observed and compared to finite element simulations.

Experimentální výzkum Magnusovy síly působící na hladkou kouli při vysokých Reynoldsových číslech
Kharlamov, Alexander ; Chára, Zdeněk ; Vlasák, Pavel
The paper describes the results of experimental research dealing with rotating smooth spherical particles moving quasi-steadily in calm water. The motion of the particles was recorded by a digital video camera. The kinematics of the particles motion was analyzed numerically. The dimensionless Magnus force coefficient, the Reynolds number Re and spin parameter Γ (ratio of peripheral sphere velocity and translational velocity) were evaluated from the time series of the particle coordinates and its angle of rotation. The Magnus force was determined as a function of the Reynolds number and spin parameter for 3000 < Re < 42000 and 0.1 < Γ <7. The results were compared with results from literature and overall data were fitted by a simple function valid for 0.5 < Re < 140000 and 0.1 < Γ <10.

Výzkum odporové síly a točivého momentu rotující koule pohybující se v klidné vodě
Kharlamov, Alexander ; Kvurt, Y. ; Chára, Zdeněk ; Vlasák, Pavel
The paper describes results of experiments with rotating spherical particles moving quasi-steadily in the calm water. The motion of the particles was recorded by a digital video camera. The Cartesian coordinates and the angle of rotation of the particles were determined from the record of the particles motion. The dimensionless drag coefficient, drag moment coefficient and translational and rotational Reynolds numbers were calculated from the time series of the particles coordinates and angle of rotation for each recorded frame. The effect of the particles translational motion on the drag moment and the effect of the particles rotation on the drag force were evaluated from the experimental data.
