Modelling 3D Forest Structure for Improved Retrieval of Forest Biophysical Properties
Janoutová, Růžena ; Albrechtová,, Jana (referee) ; Štarha, Pavel (referee) ; Martišek, Dalibor (advisor)
Hlavním cílem práce bylo zlepšení kvantitativních odhadů vegetačních parametrů smrkových porostů pomocí spektrálních simulací trojrozměrného modelu přenosu záření. Prvně bylo potřeba vytvořit přesný 3D model smrku. Implementace přesného 3D modelu smrku pro parametrizaci celých lesních porostů je v současné době výpočetně nemožné, bylo tedy nutné tento 3D model smrku zjednodušit. Přesný 3D model smrku společně s dostupnými leteckými daty sloužil pro nalezení optimálního zjednodušení. Optimální model vedl ke kompromisu mezi výpočetní náročností a přesností výsledné odrazivosti z modelu přenosu záření. Následně byl optimální model smrku využit pro odhady vegetačních parametrů ze satelitních snímků. Přesnost odhadů byla ověřena oproti pozemním měřením odhadovaných parametrů. Na závěr byly porovnány výsledky z odhadů vegetačních parametrů pomocí optimálního 3D modelu smrku s výsledky z tradičního přístupu pomocí modelů stromu s geometricky jednodušími tvary korun.

Gas Microsensors Based on Self-Organized 3D Metal-Oxide Nanofilms
Pytlíček, Zdeněk ; Husák, Miroslav (referee) ; Kolařík, Vladimír (referee) ; Prášek, Jan (advisor)
This dissertation concerns the development, fabrication and integration in a gas sensing microdevice of a novel 3-dimensional (3D) nanostructured metal-oxide semiconducting film that effectively merges the benefits of inorganic nanomaterials with the simplicity offered by non-lithographic electrochemistry-based preparation techniques. The film is synthesized via the porous-anodic-alumina-assisted anodizing of an Al/Nb metal bilayer sputter-deposited on a SiO2/Si substrate and is basically composed of a 200 nm thick NbO2 layer holding an array of upright-standing spatially separated Nb2O5 nanocolumns, being 50 nm wide, up to 900 nm long and of 8109 cm2 population density. The nanocolumns work as semiconducting nano-channels, whose resistivity is greatly impacted by the surface and interface reactions. Either Pt or Au patterned electrodes are prepared on the top of the nanocolumn array using an innovative sensor design realized by means of microfabrication technology or via a direct original point electrodeposition technique, followed by selective dissolution of the alumina overlayer. For gas-sensing tests the film is mounted on a standard TO-8 package using the wire-bonding technique. Electrical characterization of the 3D niobium-oxide nanofilm reveals asymmetric electron transport properties due to a Schottky barrier that forms at the Au/Nb2O5 or Pt/Nb2O5 interface. Effects of the active film morphology, structure and composition on the electrical and gas-sensing performance focusing on sensitivity, selectivity, detection limits and response/recovery rates are explored in experimental detection of hydrogen gas and ammonia. The fast and intensive response to H2 confirms the potential of the 3D niobium-oxide nanofilm as highly appropriate active layer for sensing application. A computer-aided microfluidics simulation of gas diffusion in the 3D nanofilm predicts a possibility to substantially improve the gas-sensing performance through the formation of a perforated top electrode, optimizing the film morphology, altering the crystal structure and by introducing certain innovations in the electrode design. Preliminary experiments show that a 3D nanofilm synthesized from an alternative Al/W metal bilayer is another promising candidate for advanced sensor applications. The techniques and materials employed in this work are advantageous for developing technically simple, cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions for practical micro- and nanodevices, where the well-defined nano-channels for charge carriers and surface reactions may bring unprecedented benefits.

Finding optimal local path for mobile robot with kinematic constraints: How to find the safest path for nonholonomic robot
Krejsa, Jiří ; Věchet, Stanislav
The paper deals with the optimization of local path for the mobile robot, whereas the safety of the route is the major criterion. The robot equipped with differential chassis with kinematic constraints is considered for the task. The optimization is based on genetic algorithm (GA), optimizing the polyline representation of the path. The core idea of the method presented is to sequentially increase the number of key points in the path during the optimization. This way the computational expenses are kept reasonable and resulting path quickly converges to the optimal one, with respect to the actual number of parameters to be optimized. The cost function is defined as the lowest distance from the obstacle along the path. Sequential refinement of key path proved to speed up the search.

Valuation of PEBAL s.r.o.
Turza, Vladimír ; Brabenec, Tomáš (advisor) ; Keselý, Ladislav (referee)
The thesis aims to determine the equity value of the company PEBAL s. r. o. as of January 1st 2016. It is not separated into theoretical and practical part, because it is considered as fake appraisal of an expert. That is the reason why the whole thesis is practical with occasional theoretical background explanations. In the first part there is basic information provided about the appraised company along with its characteristics. Then financial analysis is carried out which will provide an overall picture of financial health of the company along with determination of competitors. Followed by strategical analysis which deals with the market as whole and predicts its future development as well as development of sales of the valued company. The next part consists of analysing and predicting value drivers and the overall financial plan. Result of the last part is the valuation itself applying discounted cash flow (DCF) method using discounts rate calculated earlier in the chapter. The final chapter also contains market valuation using method of comparable companies along with Monte Carlo simulation, that provides probability distribution of the value of the company.

Risk analysis of the company Prestar's business plan
Bartoň, Daniel ; Špička, Jindřich (advisor) ; Vacík, Emil (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to compile a strategic business plan of the company Prestar and to identify and evaluate corresponding risks. A substantial part of the turnover is generated by business activities in Russia which recently exhibits unstable development. Strategic analysis is conducted based on the findings, key risk factors are identified and an estimate of the enterprise value based on discounted cash flow is calculated. Finally the influence of the identified risk factors on the enterprise value is simulated using the Monte Carlo method. The key risk factors include wage growth rate, development of sales generated in Russia and the exchange rate.

Risk Analysis of the Strategic and Financial Plan of the Microbrewery
Vodička, Radek ; Špička, Jindřich (advisor) ; Boukal, Petr (referee)
The aim of the masters thesis is to analyse the risk of the strategic and financial plan of a microbrewery as well as to decide whether the proposed investment project is feasible due to identified information of risk. The thesis describes and analyzes the environment of the particular enterprise by implementing a PEST Analysis, Porters Five Forces analysis, Financial Analysis, Internal Analysis and a SWOT Analysis. The result of the strategic analyses are implemented to propose an investment project with the appropriate financial plan of the investment and the Net Present Value calculation. The key risk factor is identified by implementing the Monte Carlo simulation followed by a Sensitivity Analysis and the impact of the key risk factor is analysed consecutively. Considering all the previous analyses and also ascertained information the recommendation is made to realize the investment as the result of the thesis.
