Democratic deficit of the EU: options of evolvement
Tomášová, Tereza ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (advisor) ; Weiss, Tomáš (referee)
Diploma thesis " Democratic deficit of the EU: options of evolvement" deals with democracy and democratic legitimacy of the European Union. It represents a particular concept of the EU's democratic deficit, which is ambiguous term, but generally indicates a lack of democracy- particularly the lack of popular participation in the governance or a lack of democratic legitimacy of EU institutions and decision-making. The aim of my work was, according to the hypotheses to determine what is causing the EU's democratic deficit, whether it is a serious problem that should be addressed at European level, and if so, what are the possibilities for minimizing or further evolvement. To explore this issue further, I examine the theory of democratic legitimacy in the introduction and divide it into the "input and output" legitimacy. Subsequently, I also introduced methodology and the current debate on democratic deficit in the leading periodicals, dealing with the EU and think tanks. The second part deals with the history of the democratic deficit and its various definitions, follows with a presentation of my two hypotheses dealing with the question whether or not the EU's democratic deficit is a problem. In the third part, my two hypotheses are tested on the project of the Single European Sky, which aims to...

Library for Operations over Finite Automata
Bartůněk, Petr ; Puš, Viktor (referee) ; Kaštil, Jan (advisor)
This work deals with two basic operations over finite automata. Determination of nondeterministic finite automata and minimization of deterministic finite automata. For these two operations I proposed sequential algorithms that are parallelizable. I deal mainly with finding the speedup of SSE instructions, or use the OpenMP library. The trend today is mainly in increasing the number of processors, so I propose parallel algorithms for multiple processors. When searching for the optimal solution, I will be to examine other ways to achieve speedup, for example efficient saving of the data structures in memory.

Reduction of the Nondeterministic Finite Automata
Procházka, Lukáš ; Kořenek, Jan (referee) ; Kaštil, Jan (advisor)
Nondeterministic finite automaton is an important tool, which is used to process strings in many different areas of programming. It is important to try to reduce its size for increasing programs' effectiveness. However, this problem is computationally hard, so we need to search for new techniques. Basics of finite automata are described in this work. Some methods for their reduction are then introduced. Usable reduction algorithms are described in greater detail. Then they are implemented and tested. The test results are finally evaluated.

Evolutionary Combinational Circuit Resynthesis
Pták, Ondřej ; Schwarz, Josef (referee) ; Sekanina, Lukáš (advisor)
This project deals with combinational digital circuits and their optimization. First there are presented main levels of abstraction utilized in the design of combinational digital circuits. Afterwards different methods are surveyed for optimization of combinational digital circuits. The next part of this project is mainly devoted to evolutionary algorithms, their common characteristics and branches: genetic algorithms, evolutionary strategies, evolutionary programming and genetic programming. The variant of genetic programming called Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP) and the use of CGP in various areas, particularly in the synthesis and optimization of combinational logic circuits are described in detail. The project also discusses some modifications of CGP and the scalability problem of evolutionary circuit design. Consequential part of this thesis describes the method for evolution resynthesis of combinational digital circuits. There is description of design, especially the method of splitting circuits into subcircuits, and implementation details. Finally experiments with these method and their results are described.

Design and optimization of hydrostatic pocket space
Minář, Petr ; Pavlík, Jan (referee) ; Blecha, Petr (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with an optimization of hydrostatic slide of the large-portal gantry machine FRU (TOS Kuřim). First part of the thesis concerns with an analysis of the current practice in hydrostatic guides in the field of heavy gantry machines, an usage of alternative materials for a construction of carrying parts of machines, and possibilities of current simulation methods. Aim of the second part of this thesis is a brief clarification of the principle of mathematical optimization, and creation of general methodology of construction optimization by means of system analysis. Optimization calculations were processed by ANSYS Workbench 11.0. There is achieved adjusted and optimized design of the hydrostatic slide as the result of the thesis. Moreover, the comparison of key deformations was added. Created methodology is applicable in both an area of construction of gantry machines, and a wide spectrum of construction fields.

Optimization of an aircraft wing rib
Kopřiva, Lubomír ; Suchánek, Miroslav (referee) ; Petruška, Jindřich (advisor)
Topology optimization is a method providing new direction in designing of a technical objects. The aim of topology optimization is to find optimal distribution of material in design space. This diploma thesis is focused on optimization of aircraft wing rib num.6 of the airplane EV-55 using a software HW/Optistruct 7.0 implemented in a software package HyperWorks 7.0. The optimization of the rib was calculated under four different load cases. Resulting shapes of the rib were then tested by strenght calculations in software ANSYS 10.0. Finally, the obtained data of weights of optimized ribs were compared with the weight of the original rib.

On the Minimization of Specific Learning Problems in Elementary School Students
BAŤKOVÁ, Anna
This study addresses the problems of specific learning disorders in elementary school children. It attempts to elucidate individual types of disorders and their most common symptoms in children. Furthermore, the work describes well known theories of the causes of specific learning disorders, their diagnostics, and primary ways leading towards minimization and correction of disorders. The whole study is divided into four chapters. Individual chapters are based on the best known knowledge in the area of specific learning disorders. The first chapter explores the causes of disorders, i.e. the theories attempting to explain specific learning disorders from the viewpoints of genetics, brain disorders, faulty information processing, light mental dysfunctions and last but not least {--} the environmental effects. The next chapter classifies and explains individual diagnostic procedures and tests needed before establishing child{\crq}s diagnosis. The third chapter addresses individual specific learning disorders. It describes their definitions and main symptoms The last chapter is devoted to disorders minimization. There we introduce Individual Educational Plan as well as the exercises appropriate to individual disorders.
