Host, Ján ; Majerech, Vladan (referee) ; Senft, Martin (advisor)
In the present work we study suffix tree construction algorithms. This structure helps solving a variety of text problems in optimal time. There are several approaches and algorithms for building a suffix tree. The goal is to create a taxonomy of these algorithms and provide an overview of their properties and suitable usage. The algorithms important from various points of view are presented. Fundamentals and main ideas of their work are explained. Consequently, they are compared in tests to reveal their main flaws and strength. According to the test results as well as to theoretical knowledge and to information gained from previous studies common features are determined and after presenting the appropriate criteria a taxonomy is created.

Testaments of Bohemian Noblewomen in the Period from 1650 to 1753. Gender and the Legitimization Strategy of the Nobility within the Early Modern testamentary Discours
SWIDEROVÁ, Kristina
The thesis Testaments of Bohemian Noblewomen in the Period from 1650 to 1753. Gender and the Legitimization Strategy of the Nobility within the Early Modern testamentary Discours is based on the set of accounts left by noblewomen, and tries to find out the role of gender and the meaning of piety within the testamentary field. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis confronted with prescriptive document´s point of view, it examines the testamentary field at three different levels. First of all, it focuses on the contemporary legal status of women. Secondly it deals with the formal structure and terms of last wills, such as property settlement, which is usually the main reason for testaments being composed. But the emphasis is laid on the testamentary piety, which is perceived among others as a means of the legitimization of the nobility itself, for which the process of the adjustments before death was well suited. The thesis is complemented by a standalone chapter researching codicils, documents supplementing or altering original settlements for the case of death. The comparison of their mutual content with last wills reveals real religious feelings, which are otherwise disguised by the emphasis laid on the formality of the testament{\crq}s text. The main goal of the research is to help in the understanding of creation and manifestation of gender roles in different areas of early modern society´s lifestyles as well as to contribute to the recognition of the changes that, at latest by the beginning of 19th century, led to general secularization of the religious practices.

Preparation of monoclonal antibody against the major structural protein, VP1, of BK virus and construction of plasmids for protein interaction analysis by BiFC method.
Kozmanová, Alexandra ; Forstová, Jitka (advisor) ; Němečková, Šárka (referee)
The aim of this study was to create a monoclonal antibody against VP1 protein BK virus for study of individual steps of its replication cycle. BK virus is human polyomavirus which causes serious disease - polyomavirus associated nephropathy in immunocompromised patients after renal transplantation or hemorrhagic cystitis after bone-marrow transplantation. Virions of BK virus have capsids with icosahedral symmetry consisting of 360 molecules of the major capsid protein VP1 and two minor structure proteins VP2 and VP3, which are not exposed on the capsid surface. VP1 is highly immunogenic what gives us possibility to produce antibodies capable of BK virus monitoring by capsid protein detection. Empty BK virus particles produced in insect cells from a recombinant baculovirus were used as antigen to immunize mice for preparing hybridomas. Cloning of hybridomas created by fusion of myeloma cells with B-lymphocytes from immunized mouse gave us series of primary hybridoma clones. One of them, 5/G10/A5/B2/8, was cloned to homogenity and monoclonal antibody against VP1 BK virus was purified from hybridomas medium by affinity chromatography. The analysis of antibody properties revealed that it recognizes a conformation epitope and can be used for VP1 protein and virion detection in cells by indirect...

Lineární algebraické modelování úloh s nepřesnými daty
Vasilík, Kamil ; Hnětynková, Iveta (advisor) ; Janovský, Vladimír (referee)
In this thesis we consider problems Ax b arising from the discretization of ill-posed problems, where the right-hand side b is polluted by (unknown) noise. It was shown in [29] that under some natural assumptions, using the Golub-Kahan iterative bidiagonalization the noise level in the data can be estimated at a negligible cost. Such information can be further used in solving ill-posed problems. Here we suggest criteria for detecting the noise revealing iteration in the Golub-Kahan iterative bidiagonalization. We discuss the presence of noise of different colors. We study how the loss of orthogonality affects the noise revealing property of the bidiagonalization.

Location and literature - a castle of Vrchotovy Janovice. Literary-antropological study with evaluation of prerious interpretations
Bažant, Andrej ; Tomandl, Miloš (referee) ; Vrhel, František (advisor)
The subject of this study is a small castle ofVrchotovy Janovice and its last owner, baroness Sidonie Nadherna. Originally a medieval fortress, during 18th and 19th century it was turned into a romantic chateau surrounded by an impressive landscape park. The last owner of the castle, baroness Sidonie Nadherna (1885 - 1950), a highly educated and independent woman, became a close friend of the two outstanding figures of Central European culture, poet Rainer Maria Rilke and essayist and critic Karl Kraus. Both were visiting the castle and for both it became an inspiration in their writing. During the WWII, the castle served as the headquarters of SS-troops and after a short period of attempts to recover it, Sidonie Nadherna left to exile in England in 1949. Throughout following years, castle and park were subject to gradual devastation, its owner being almost forgotten. Fortunately, in late 1950's, it became a property of National Museum. In the early 1960's letters to Sidonie from both Rilke and Kraus were published and became an important resource for studies of their lives. Especially by Karl Kraus, the publishing of the letters revealed many yet unknown aspects of his personality and writing. For him, the relation to Sidonie Nadherna and his stays in park of Janovice, were the very impulse to create his...

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.
