Vliv odrůd ječmene na úroveň technologických znaků
Podsedková, Eva
Abstrakt I'm introducing the presentation which evaluates the effect of species, location and annuality to the basic technological characteristics of malting barley ( crude protein content in grain of barley, wort extract content , relative extract at 45 ° C , diastatic power , final attenuation , friabilitity , the content of beta - glucans in wort and wort viscosity ) . The kind of species affected more than 50 % and more of the friability and beta-glucans ,and more than 40 % relative diastatic power of the extract at 45 ° C and the attainable degree of fermentation. Extract in the wort was affected by species only from 22%. The location affected mostly a crude protein content (26 %). The content of the extract in the wort was significantly influenced by annuality (42 %). The known relationships between the relative extract at 45 ° C and Kolbach's number, friability and content of beta - glucan in wort , crude protein extract and wort, were confirmed again . Also, very strong correlations were found between characters showing the cytolytic and proteolytic modification.

Influence of sorbents on retention curve of contaminated fluvisol
Hnatajková, Eva ; Jačka, Lukáš (advisor) ; Pavlásek, Jiří (referee)
The thesis deals with the influence of sorbents on the retention curve of the contaminated alluvial soil (fluvisol). The retention curves of soil without sorbents (reference soil) are compared with the soils enriched by the following sorbents. Biochar (BC), amorphous manganese oxide (AMO) and combination of (AMO + BC). Soils sample were collected is specific uncultivated area in the valley of Litavka river (located in the central part of the Czech republic).
Two different types of samples were used for measurement of retention curves. First type of the samples were collected from the column experiments and second type were the samples collected in the field. All samples were extracted using in Kopecky rings (100 cm3). The measurement of the retention curves was performed by a direct method in the laboratory. For laboratory determination of the retention curves classical set of instruments were used (sandbox, sand-kaolin box and pressure apparatuses). The measured data were fitted using van Genuchten. Values compared are the bulk density, parameters of van Genuchten model (Thétas, ThétaR, Alfa, n), and values pF (0; 1.0; 2.0; 2.7; 3.0; 3.7; 4.18). The comparison of retention curves of differently treated soil was based on the average, standard deviation and the difference and ratio of the avarages.
According to presented findings sorbents affected shapes of the retention curves. Especially biochar influence water content for high pF values. We confirmed the hypothesis according to VERHEIJEN et al. (2010), that biochar tincrase the total retention of soil water, but does not increase the amoust of water avaible plants.
The influence of AMO on retention curve was negligible. Therefore sorbent AMO has a small influence on change of water retention in the tested soil. The effect of combined sorbent (AMO + BC) on the retention more significant than effect of using AMO sorbent only. This combination of sorbents affects the water retention depending on applied pF.

Impact of Fuel Moisture on Parameters of Boiler Regulation
Kiša, Michal ; Baláš, Marek (referee) ; Lisý, Martin (advisor)
The work deals with the verification of functionality of moisture content sensors MCT460-WP from the company Process sensors to measure fuel and products from biomass. The sensor is located on one of the Vyncke company boilers. In the first part of thesis are introduced basic issues of biomass. Thesis also generally describes the control and dynamics behaviour of biomass boilers and the effect of input parameters on the output parameters. The last part deals with comparing and analysing measured values with the calculated values and effects of moisture content changes on the output parameters of the boiler. As the last issue is loaded conceptual design based on on-line moisture sensing and inclusion of auxiliary fuel control into the existing system in order to stabilize the processes in the combustion chamber and output parameters. This should result in lower financial demands during boiler operation.

Expert System for Detection of Ventricular Extrasystoles
Svánovská, Zuzana ; Mézl, Martin (referee) ; Sekora, Jiří (advisor)
Ventricular premature beats are ectopic changes in the ECG signal. Detection of ventricular extrasystoles on 12leads ECG was created in MATLAB. At first my work involves whether the ventricular premature beats comes from the right or the left ventricle. Another algorithm evaluates the incidence outflow tract of the chamber. If the previous algorithm shows signs of indecision, another algorithm is used for detection of ventricular extrasystoles at another location in the left ventricle. The last step is to narrow the area of detection which makes it easier to find the place of origin.

Scintillation SE Detector for Variable Pressure SEM
Tihlaříková, Eva ; Neděla, Vilém (referee) ; Jirák, Josef (advisor)
This project deals with the theme of environmental scanning electron microscopy (EREM). This method allows the examination of insulators and wet specimens without pretreatment and modification like drying and metallization. The principle of this method consists in using higher pressure in a specimen chamber. The pressure is within the range of 100 – 200 Pa. However, the pressure in the specimen chamber restricts the signal detection interference. The objective of the work is to explore the possibility of interference in secondary electron route detection by way of electrostatic field. The electrostatic field was realized with the system consisting of four electrodes located in front of the scintillation detector. It should have interfered the secondary electron´s trajectory to the detector chamber. The optimization of voltage on the electrodes was made by simulation program called SIMION. The simulation results were experimentally verified with laboratory EREM.

Interactive effects of elevated CO2 concentration, drought, and nitrogen nutrition on yield and grain quality of spring barley and winter wheat
Surá, Kateřina ; Rajsnerová, Petra ; Veselá, Barbora ; Klem, Karel
The interactive effects of elevated CO2 concentration (EC; 700 μmol mol–1), drought stress, UV exclusion, and nitrogen nutrition were studied in open-top chambers located in the Bohemian–Moravian highlands (24 in total). Above-ground biomass at the time of harvest, grain yield, and grain quality parameters were studied in winter wheat (variety Bohemia) and spring barley (variety Bojos). The results showed that elevation of CO2 concentrations increased above-ground biomass and grain yield. Higher levels of nitrogen increased the stimulatory effect of EC on above-ground biomass and grain yield. In addition, UV exclusion stimulated the effect of EC. EC generally led to increased rates of photosynthesis and assimilate formation. Increased storage of starch in the grain led to an unbalanced proportion of proteins and a decrease in their relative content in grain. Similarly to grain yield and above-ground biomass, the decrease in protein content under EC was also more pronounced under UV exclusion. EC led also to reduction of other quality parameters, such as the Zeleny sedimentation test. This effect is more pronounced when nitrogen is not a limiting factor as well as under the effect of drought. The stronger effect under drought stress is probably due to increased water use efficiency.

Unsteadiness in sprays of effervescent atomizers
Beinstein, Zbyněk ; Volavý, Jaroslav (referee) ; Jedelský, Jan (advisor)
Master thesis focused on the research of the effervescent atomizers. Effervescent atomizers belong to a group of two-phase atomizers, which are often used in combustion applications. Right there in combustion applications, the degree of the stability sprays has a significant impact on combustion efficiency and exhaust gas emissions. The main aim of this work was to asses the level of spray unsteadiness depending on the atomizer design and its operating mode. The effect of construction was studied on the diameter and length of mixing chamber, and then on the size, number and location of aeration holes. Seventeen specific variants of the atomizer were constructed by different combinations of these design parameters. Each of these variants was measured in three operating modes, which were represented by a liquid pressure at the inlet to the atomizer and gas-to-liquid mass flow ratio (GLR). To evaluate the level of spray unsteadiness was used a methodology, which compares the ideal element´s distribution into the interparticle time bin, defined for the ideal (stable) spray, with the experimentally observed distribution. The laser measurement system P/DPA (Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) was used to determine the experimental interparticle distribution. The result of the comparison of the ideal and the experimental distribution was the parameter , which expresses the level of spray unsteadiness for a specific atomizer and operating mode. With that parameter it was possible to compare the individual atomizers and determinate to the benefit of various construction´s correction of the atomizer. The results showed the recommendation for the modifications of the atomizer, creating a spray with a minimum level of spray´s unsteadiness. For the surveyed atomizer and his individual costruction´s variations the drawing was made.
