Shakespeare revisited: rewritings of Shakespeare in modern British drama
Rezková, Iva ; Wallace, Clare (advisor) ; Nováková, Soňa (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to analyze three recent British rewritings of William Shakespeare's tragedies - Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Edward Bond's Lear, and Sarah Kane's Blasted. The thesis attempts to trace parallels between the classical text and its modern transformation. Nevertheless, central to the study is the discussion of the reasons for dismantling Shakespeare's texts in order to compose own works of art out of their elements. The paper explores in what ways and to what purposes the three playwrights modernize Shakespeare and rewrite his tragedies. The analysis of the three modern plays based on Shakespeare is framed in a study of the shifting attitudes towards Shakespeare's plays and the changing patterns of their adaptations from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. As far as the development of approaches to Shakespeare's texts is concerned, the focus lies particularly on the late twentiethcentury phenomenon of rewriting classical texts in order to present a more updated and thus more accurate picture of contemporary reality and the current vision of human condition. Such a practice and such an approach to classical texts seem to be representative of Stoppard's, Bond's and Kane's plays.

Diagnostics of prevention effectiveness againts the rockbursts
Holub, Karel ; Stodulková, S.
As a part of the rockbursts preventative measures in mines in the Ostrava-Karviná Coal Basin, large scale torpedo blasting are carried out. Their efficiency evaluated according to the empirical formula diagnoses the successfulness of the performed prevention, the size of which is expressed as the ratio between the inner energy of the charge of explosives and the energy of the provoked seimic event.

Music effects
Marko, Matej ; Valla, Tomáš (referee) ; Bálek, Martin (advisor)
Title: Music effects Author: Matej Marko Department: Department of applied mathematics Supervisor: Mgr. Martin Bálek Supervisor's e-mail address: Martin.Balek@mff.cuni.cz Abstract: The effects have crucial position in the proccess of creating music. They enrich song's arrangement and make it all more colorful. Aim of the work is to create application that allows the user to play a sound file and apply chosen effets on it's content in real-time. All changes in effects' settings are imidiatelly transformed into the hearable results. Certain settings can be applied on the whole file and the results afterwards exported to the file. Part of the application is naturally implementation of chosen effects. Main topic of the work's text are methods used to implement the effects. Keywords: effects, music, sound

Modifikovaná klasická nukleační teorie: Translační objemové měřítko, založené na fenomenologických kritériích
Hrubý, Jan
A new translational volume scale is devised for the so-called stationary cluster, whose work of formation is estimated using phenomenological approaches. The new volume scale is compared to previous expressions, in particular to the theory of Reiss, Kegel, and Katz. The new volume scale is based on a comparison of translational energy of a cluster with its surface excess energy. It can be used without modification for mixtures and for various combinations of new and old phases

Front end of the fuel cycle
Sedlák, Miroslav ; Katovský, Karel (referee) ; Foral, Štěpán (advisor)
Bachelor thesis will work of the front of the fuel cycle. Summarize and describe the current knowledge related to uranium, the phase transformation of unemployable chemical element for mankind significant energy source. Understanding the process of processing uranium to energy source is invaluable importance for the future of energy. The use of uranium as fuel only brings advantages inherent in the usability element for humanity, but also the disadvantege of environmental threats and the threat of negative censequences to the environment in case of accidents. A thorough knowledge of the various stages of the fuel cycle contributes to increasing the safety of use of this chemical element for mankind and increasing efficiency in the conversion of uranium ore, thereby creating still more favorable conditions for the development of nuclear energy.

High-Frequency, Small-Scale Fluidic Oscillators for Boundary Layer Control
Tesař, Václav
No-moving-part fluidic oscillators are promising candidates for use in jet-type actuators for suppressing the separation in adverse pressure gradient flows and for elmination of the effect of hairpin vortices that absorb the turbulent fluid flow energy. The requests for very high oscillation frequency has led to several new ideas applied to the oscillator configurations.

The economic development of Turkmenistan during the reign of Turkmenbashi
Laube, Pavel ; Pavlík, Petr (advisor) ; Horák, Jiří (referee)
The study analyzes the developement of the economy of Turkmenistan during a period of its independence. It focuses on a description of the most important reforms and changes which have been brought by Turkmen transformation and crisis of the regional trade after the fall of USSR. This economical developement is explained together with the political and cultural framework of Nijazov's cult of personality. The main accent is put on agriculture and energy sector - the two most important sectors for GDP and employment. Perspectives of the new reform course formed by Gurbanguly Berdymuhamedov are suggested at the end of the paper.

Approaches to ensuring energy security in the EU and the USA
Kopová, Petra ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Horák, Jiří (referee)
The need to ensure that reliable, affordable and sustainable energy is a clear priority in building a powerful and strong economy. Therefore energy security has gradually become an integral part of the economic and foreign policies of the European Union and the United States of America. Although this concept did not exist ten years ago, energy security has rapidly risen in importance in the last decade. Both the USA and the EU have implemented energy issues as one of the pillars of their national security. The first chapter of this paper addresses the definition of energy security and characterizes its particular subsystems. The second part is devoted to real security in terms of the first and the second subsystem (the securing of energy resources, and the transport and transformation of energy resources). The final chapter briefly defines the energy policies of the European Union and the United States and compares approaches to ensuring the energy security of both regions. The main objective of this bachelor thesis is to identify and clarify the similarities or potential differences between these two approaches.

Lighting systems in off-grid applications
Lengyel, Ladislav ; Škoda, Jan (referee) ; Baxant, Petr (advisor)
Aim of the master's thesis is at first to explain appropriate light sources and lighting systems; secondly present suitable light sources selection for lighting a small space and design of an off-grid system. The last part consists of an overview about alternative energy transformations to light energy. The first of these three major themes focuses on the analysis of light sources suitable for use in applications with accumulation together with data on energy efficiency and the utilization efficiency associated with them, concentrating on their consumption and possible energy saving lighting within small applications. It ends with a description and calculations of electricity energy indicators for different types of rooms. The second and main part of the thesis is focusing on suitable light sources selection for off-grid systems and impacts on humans and the environment associated with it. An object representing a small application has been created in RELUX® software with suitable light sources installed in it. For this scene, appropriate parts of off-grid systems were selected, which could be used to power the proposed lighting. The last theme consists of a brief about alternative sources, most of which are still in development or existing only at a theoretical level. All of these alternative sources are having a possible application in the future.
