The failure of the New Left in the US: the case of SDS
Vítek, Tomáš ; Kralj, Dejan (advisor) ; Calda, Miloš (referee)
This thesis The Failure of the New Left in the US: The Case of SDS analyzes the causes and reasons of the failure of the New Left in the United States. The left-leaning students who were discontent with the social order and reality of the country gathered under the idea of participatory democracy in a group called Students for a Democratic Society. Their aim was to change and improve the system through universities being agents of social change, thus making a clear difference with the Old Left. The worker no longer stood in the center of social progress, but the student did. SDS promptly plunged into several burning issues of the era, such as civil rights movement and inferior position of the blacks and poor in the society. The Vietnam War and antiwar protest movement have also been great issues in which SDSers directed their energy. As the Vietnam War escalated in terms of American soldiers being sent overseas, the intensity of student protests grew as well. Inevitably SDS resorted to usage of violent means of expressing dissent and clashed with the forces of the establishment. The thesis seeks to answer what reasons, events and realities led them to finally adopting revolutionary Marxism as their flag ideology. Soon after that SDS broke up and its once great influence waned away.

Köbölová, Klaudia ; Kalina, Michal (referee) ; Sedláček, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on verifying the use of light scattering techniques in the study of protein denaturation. The theoretical part of the thesis describes proteins, their general properties, the process of denaturation and it provides an insight into light scattering. In the experimental part of the study I investigated the denaturation effects of four selected potential denaturing agents – urea, guanidine hydrochloride, sodium dodecyl sulfate, copper (II) sulfate – on two model enzymes: lipase and lysosyme. The denaturation effects of these denaturants were studied with the help of the dynamic light scattering method (DLS). In order to describe the change in particle size during denaturation, I used Z-Average, Volume mean and intensity distribution which were determined by this method.

Excited-state proton transfer as a tool for characterization of coloid particles
Richterová, Veronika ; Pilgrová, Tereza (referee) ; Mondek, Jakub (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the study of excited-state proton transfer in micellar systems. At first critical micelle concentration of surfactants CTAB, SDS and Triton X-100 was determined. Further the steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence of probes that undergo excited-state proton transfer with these surfactants was measured. As probes were chosen 1-naphthol, HPTS and 3HNA. Deprotonation rates of 1-napthol and HPTS and average lifetime of 3HNA were calculated from time-resolved measurement. Steady-state fluorescence was used for observation surfactants influence on excited-state proton transfer.

Aggregation Behaviour of Polysaccharides in Aqueous Solutions
Mravec, Filip ; Valko, Marián (referee) ; Hrdlovič, Pavol (referee) ; Valko, Marián (referee) ; Pekař, Miloslav (advisor)
Tato práce je zaměřena na agregační chování nativního a hydrofobně modifikovaného hyaluronanu, v různých molekulových hmotnostech a stupních substituce, ve vodném prostředí. Pro studium bylo vybráno šest fluorescenčních sond s různými vlastnostmi (Pyren; Nilská červeň; Perylen; Akridinová oranž; 6-(p-Toluidino)-2-nafthalenesulfonová kyselina; PRODAN). a výsledky získané pomocí těchto sond byly porovnány s jednoduchým anionaktivním tenzidem (Dodecylsíran sodný). U všech použité sond byly testovány jejich spektrální vlastnosti v závislosti na polaritě okolí a/nebo na koncentraci. Pro stanovení vlastností nepolárního jádra hyaluronového agregátu byly vybrány dvě sondy (Pyren, Nilská červeň). U domén byly sledovány polarita a viskozita vnitřního prostředí a jejich závislost na iontové síle a teplotě. Pro modifikované hyaluronany bylo stanoveno, že jejich kritická agregační koncentrace klesá s rostoucí molekulovou hmotností a stupněm substituce. Pro vlastní doménu platí, že její kompaktnost roste s rostoucí iontovou silou, ale klesá s rostoucí teplotou.

Creating real-time IMS application
Novotný, Filip ; Mácha, Tomáš (referee) ; Nagy, Ľuboš (advisor)
This paper presents a description of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture and IMS services. IMS is a standardized next-generation networking architectural framework providing advanced services on mobile and fixed networks. The first chapter describes four-layer IMS architecture and also mentions supported services. The second chapter deals with IMS protocols and primarily focuses on the SIP signaling protocol. UDP, RTP and TLS protocols are also included in this chapter. The third chapter is dedicated to practical part of this paper. A VoIP Java application has been created based on the findings gained throughout the thesis. The main part of the created application consists of client-side application, database MySQL and Servlet application for communication between database and client-side application. The whole system was created using SDS Sony Ericsson 4.1. FD1. An OpenIC lite client has been tested during development on our system and results were compared with created client-side application. A web application based on PHP, MySQL and ActionScript then handles administration and monitoring of customers using voice services.

Development of IMS platform applications
Martinek, Pavel ; Nagy, Ľuboš (referee) ; Mácha, Tomáš (advisor)
This master’s thesis is focused on the network architecture of IMS (Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem) and development an application for IMS. IMS architecture is the convergence of fixed and mobile networks. IMS enables rapid deployment of new multimedia services. In the first chapter is showed and described architecture IMS in four layers and block model of architecture IMS. Next chapter is focused to protocols, which are used in IMS. One of the most important protocols in network IMS is SIP. This protocol is analyzed in details. For development IMS platform application was used Ericsson SDS (Service Development Studio) in version 4.1. In SDS were created applications type of client and servlet. In this master’s thesis is also used development environment NetBeans. In NetBeans was created application for management of captured images. In the same development environment was developed application that shows the contents of a database. Last chapter is devoted to analyze individual parts of communication between client and servlet, and when client uses http to download image file.

IMS based multimedia services
Novotný, Roman ; Nagy, Ľuboš (referee) ; Mácha, Tomáš (advisor)
Submitted work describes IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) and focuses on services offered by this technology. In the theoretical part of the thesis is a detailed description of the IMS architecture, in the terms of its components and interfaces. Also a SIP protocol is described as the main signalling protocol, which represents the basis of the IMS architecture and RTP protocol that allows the transmission of multimedia data in real-time. Further, there are provided services that the IMS system brings. The practical part of the work describes the design and implementation of services within the IMS. It is a client-server service. Server part of the system is implemented as a SIP Servlet application. It has access to the MySQL database, which stores records of multimedia files. Client registered in the IMS network can communicate with the SIP servlet sending a request for information on such files. Following this communication, the client can play the file in his online ICP application, or download it into his PC and then play. To play and view multimedia fines is used JMF. The service is implemented in a development environment SDS Ericsson 4.1, which allows simulation of the IMS network.

Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates from waste substrates and their isolation
Grossová, Marie ; Babák, Libor (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
The aim of this work is to study the possibility of microbial production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). PHA can be used as biodegradable materials. Bacterial strain Cupriavidus necator was used for laboratory production of PHA. This bacterium was cultivated in medium with various precursors to produce copolymers of 3HB with 3HV or 4HB. Another part of the work was aimed at cultivation of C. necator on different waste substrates, especially oils, with the aim to achieve the highest production of polymer. Another large part of the thesis is dedicated to isolation strategies of PHA using enzymes. Commercially used proteases – alcalase and pancreatin – can be used with advantages for digestion of bacterial cells. A number of optimization experiments showed that application of proteases leads to enhancement of PHA purity to about 13%. Purity increase up to 90 % was achieved by adding a surfactant, which promotes the solubility of non-PHA forming polymer. This surfactant increases the purity of 20 % when compared to control. The last part of presented work deals with the use of enzyme solution isolated from Bacillus subtilis medium. Its application to C. necator culture led to the yield of polymer at a purity exceeding 95 %. These results could represent the basis for new isolation strategies, which can lead to more efficient yield of PHA.
