Adolphe Sax aimed to provide with a sound between the brass trumpet and the woodwind clarinet, which he succeeded. He constructed the saxophone for two families where each family is parted by seven instruments - the 'Orchestral Family' for which the instruments are in the keys of C&F, and in extent the 'Military Band Family' for which the instruments are in the keys of E-Flat & B-Flat (transposing instruments).

Determination of family size of beavers by camera-traps
Pivrnec, Ondřej ; Vorel, Aleš (advisor) ; Lenka, Lenka (referee)
This diploma thesis concerns the methodology and subsequent analysis of the quantity of European beaver (Castor fiber) inside a beaver family.
These data were collected by using camera-traps. Collection was conducted from August 2015 to August 2016 in two areas. The first area was the Czech forest and the second area was Šumava. In these areas is a different degree of saturation of the beaver population.
The main objective of this study was to estimate the average size of a beaver family in two model areas using camera-traps. Suitable areas were Czech Forest and Šumava. Secondary objective was to design and test methodology and application of the camera-traps and design a way to evaluate data from the captured images.

Mraček, Martin ; Houška, Milan (advisor) ; Martin, Martin (referee)
The aim of this thesis on the application of decision-making models in renewing the arsenal of Borovy Gamekeepers' Organisation (MS Borovy, z.s.) is to select, using a method of multi-criteria decision analysis, a suitable hunting weapon that will best comply with the conditions under which the Borovy Gamekeepers' Organisation (a registered society) exercises its right to hunt and manage game and wildlife. The theoretical part of this paper focuses on weapons, in addition to describing models of multi-criteria decision-making. The second part of the thesis addresses the tradition of hunting and game management as well as various hunting methods, and introduces the Borovy Gamekeepers' Organisation, its hunting grounds and various game species occurring in that area. Subsequently, the author of this paper discusses the selection of a compromise option for a hunting weapon, using a suitable method of multi-criteria decision analysis. Based on the outcome of this selection, a recommendation is made on a suitable hunting weapon for members of the Borovy Gamekeepers' Organisation and the surrounding hunting grounds.

Heat sources for low temperature heating systems
Vyskočil, Petr ; Adamovský, Radomír (advisor) ; Neuberger, Pavel (referee)
The goal of this bachelor´s work is to analyse heat sources which is suitable for low temperature heating systems and to descript of main principles and kinds of this heating. The work is divided in five main parts. The first (most extensive) part is description of the history of heat pump, its principle, working substances and basic sources of low potencional energy. The second part of the work is explanation of principles of condensing boiler and natural gas combustion with regard to combustion efficiency. Basic structural elements are included in third section of this work. Next section is discusion of the author´s view on this issue. Is evident from this work that none of this heating system is better in term of advantages and disadvantages. But intension of thist work is primarily description of this advantages and disadvanages.

Short path optical wireless link design
Kovář, Ondřej ; Látal, Jan (referee) ; Diblík, Jan (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on design and prototyping of wireless optical link for an indoor usage. In the beginning of the thesis frequency spectrums of infrared, visible and ultraviolet light are described by its typical qualities such as values of attenuation or reflection capability. On the basis of this analysis, a proper wavelength has been chosen for usage at the engineered communication system. Next part is devoted to selection of suitable communication components on basis of its declared qualities. In the following chapter this qualities are in carefully measured and after that they are compared with values provided by its manufacturer. The following section is devoted to design schemes of transceiver modules. After completion of the design the manufacturing of PCB, mounting components and the analysis of their distribution was described. The last part of this thesis deals with testing of created prototype in terms of maximum transmission distances and operating frequencies. At the very end of this project, in one small section ways to improve system characteristics was discussed.
