Analýza obchodních vztahů mezi Evropskou unií a Latinskou Amerikou
Daza Aramayo, Lourdes Gabriela ; Krebs, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Macháček, Jaroslav (referee) ; Benáček, Vladimír (referee)
The Doctoral Thesis "Analysis of Trade Relations between the European Union and Latin America from 1995-2011" focuses on the determination Latin America's potential as a trading partner for the European Union. It will be based on an analysis of the region's trade relationships between 1995 and 2011 through different econometric models and a macroeconomic analysis. It will make recommendations for improving economic relation policies with Latin America and the European Union as well as identify the sectors which could represent great potential for trade between both regions. The research is divided into seven chapters: The first chapter covers international trade theory; this part comprises the theoretical aspects directly related to international trade. The second chapter analyzes the macroeconomic features of Latin American countries and compares them with data from the European Union. A separate, detailed analysis of 17 Latin American countries was performed and the potential of each one to make their importance known to the world and define their geopolitical position is described. The third chapter details the trade policies of the European Union and Latin America. The fourth chapter discusses trade relations between Latin America and the European Union through a look at the trade agreements that have been signed between the European Union and Latin American countries and tries to identify possible causes of failures for agreements not signed. This chapter also studies the sectorial composition of trade between the two regions, emphasizing the asymmetry between these trades flows as they enter the countries studied. The fifth chapter, the heart of this research paper, analyzes the trade relations between the EU and Latin America through a gravity model, identifying the obstacles and barriers to international trade between the two regions. The second part of this chapter discusses institutional factors, which, as a result of the conclusions from the gravity model explained earlier in the chapter, play an important role in international trade between Latin America and the European Union. This section contains a comparative analysis of the situation of the institutional factors in the 29 Latin American countries which were analyzed in the gravity model. This chapter also includes a trade simulation between the Czech Republic and Latin America with the institutional factors in Latin America showing a 10% improvement. In the sixth chapter, the competitiveness of 17 Latin American countries is calculated using the results of the barriers to international trade through a new method based on the comparison of indicators, ranked by dimension and according to the weight thereof for a period of time. The last chapter focuses on the identification of the variables determining foreign direct investment in Latin America, represented by 29 countries and over a period of time from 1995 to 2011. It considers variables traditionally not considered such as the number of patents registered, the tax rate and institutional factors, which have revealed important explanatory variables as well as those traditionally considered such as GDP, inflation, population, the share of GDP by sector, income level, etc. The last part of this research lists the conclusions reached and proposes recommendations for economic relations policy development between Latin America and the European Union.

Proexport politics in the Netherlands
Nováková, Nicole ; Cibulková, Iveta (advisor) ; Taušer, Josef (referee)
Předmětem této bakalářské práce je proexportní politika v Nizozemsku. Jaké jsou v rámci jejího systému využívány nástroje a opatření k podpoře vývozu, při současném omezení dle platné legislativní úpravy Evropské unie, a jsou-li tyto nástroje efektivní, je v práci analyzováno pomocí popisu činnosti jednotlivých proexportních institucí a charakteristiky jimi poskytovaných produktů a služeb. Pro potřebu získání základního přehledu jsou graficky znázorněny výše uskutečněných exportů směřujících na trhy předních obchodních partnerů a dále celková výše exportů v předchozím roce 2006.

Engine Intake Manifold for Formule SAE
Řehák, Ivo ; Blaťák, Ondřej (referee) ; Svída, David (advisor)
Thesis is bend on design of intake manifold for car Formula SAE. For driving of this car is used engine Yamaha YZF R6 (2005). Design of intake tract is processed so that agrees with rules and specifications for cars Formula SAE. For restriction of engine performance is in intake tract installed restrictor. For filling efficiency uplift of engine is used the resonance effect in intake pipes. Analysis of flow is carry out on simulation software for analyses of one dimensional flow.

Elastic properties of blood veins with a scaffold
Frost, Miroslav ; Kružík, Martin (referee) ; Maršík, František (advisor)
Presented master's thesis deals with modeling of a NiTiNOL wire under thermal and uniaxial mechanical loading. NiTiNOL can undergo reversible martensitic phase transformation and thus belongs among shape memory alloys. In the form of a thin wire it is used in many applications (e.g. as a reinforcement for veins). MT is studied with respect to the extended non-equilibrium thermomechanics of mixtures and the Clusius-Clapeyron equation is derived for it. A new phenomenological model iRLOOP, developed at AS CR, simulating thermomechanical behavior of a NiTiNOL wire is mathematically formulated. Restrictions on tting functions in proposed hysteresis mechanism are derived from the second law of thermodynamics. The existence and uniqueness of the solution of an initial problem are proven for the superelasticity model. Experiments are compared with results modeled by numerical implementation of iRLOOP.

The Application of Fuzzy Logic for Rating of Suppliers for the Firm
Kučerka, Daniel ; Morávek, Patrik (referee) ; Dostál, Petr (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the process of company supplier selection in the florist Dagmar. Several methods solving similar problems with different tools have been described. The group of potential suppliers has been introduced and their most important features summarized for the purpose of this work. The main part is focused on the evaluation of the suppliers according to specified metrics by the method using fuzzy logic and Matlab simulation tool. The results of this work leads to suggestion of the supplier most suitable for florist and its business strategy.

Analysis of guaranteed investment funds
Mach, Jonáš ; Witzany, Jiří (advisor) ; Stádník, Bohumil (referee)
This thesis focuses on guaranteed investment funds, which have become very popular among investors in the Czech Republic in recent years. The reason for this popularity is the conservativeness of a typical domestic investor, who appreciates the lower bound for the value of his investment. Guaranteed funds characteristically have a complex structure and valuation of their profitability based solely on intuition is therefore impossible. This analysis tries to provide an answer to the question if investing in these funds is reasonable. A large part of the thesis is dedicated to the option theory and option valuation methods, including the famous Black-Scholes formula, as guaranteed investment funds have the characteristics of an option. Thanks to the complicated structure of these products, the analysis itself is done by Monte Carlo simulation.

Application of the Three-Body Problem in the form of exercises
Kolář, Karel ; Šolc, Martin (advisor) ; Franc, Tomáš (referee)
The main topic of this work is the Restricted Three-Body Problem (R3BP) which is illustrated by solving several examples and by simulations in computational system Wolfram Mathematica. The aim is to offer supplemetary material for university students and it can be used also as introduction to this topic for high school students. The first part is dedidated to history of celestial mechanics and to the people who contributed to the development of the R3B Problem. The second chapter consists of simplier tasks with definitions of basic quantities and variables and revision of the undisturbed two-body problem. Subsequent chapters are concentrated to Lagrange points, Jacobi integral, Hill surfaces, tidal force, Tisserand criterion, shape and evolution of close binary stars and other partial tasks.
