Design of LPG-Powered Portable Generator for Resealable Cartridge
Vevera, Tomáš ; Křenek, Ladislav (referee) ; Sovják, Richard (advisor)
The topic of this bachelors thesis is the design of LPG powered generátor for resealable cartridges. The main goal is to design a lightweight portable power source. This goal has been achieved by using a rotary engine.Adding a power bank into the generátor has reached a wide use potenciál. The final design accomplishes all ergonomic and functional requirements. The final shaping tries to adress the potenciál users.

Macrophages and nitric oxide in leishmania - sandfly - host interactions
Kratochvílová, Tereza ; Fialová, Anna (referee) ; Kolářová, Iva (advisor)
Leishmania reside fagolysosome of macrophages immediately after their entry to host where they multiply and consequently infect other macrophages or eventually other cells. A synthesis of a reactive reactant of oxygen and nitrogen is one of the mechanisms that some mammal cells are equipped with and that also contributes to eradication of leishmania. Nitric oxide rising during a metabolic change of L-arginine under the catalysis of NO synthase is of a large importance. Beyond cytotoxic function, nitric oxide is involved in signalling pathways for a neurotransmission (nNOS) and vasorelaxation (eNOS). Not all types of macrophages have ability to produce NO (iNOS). It is a heterogeneous group differing in immunological function and also in physiology. A group of classical activated macrophages represents an effective APC capable of efficient killing of intracellular pathogens. In addition to NO, they also secrete an inflammatory cytokines, which evolve an immune reaction towards to Th1. Contrary to this, a group of alternative activated macrophages is not capable of any efficient antigen presentation and nitric oxide production but produces L-ornithine, which is a precursor of polyamines, which leishmania utilizes for its own intracellular growth. For the mouse model, status of resistance and/or...

ALTERNATIVE PROPULSION FOR AIRCRAFT OF GENERAL AVIATION CATEGORY
Kaddour, Mirvat ; Hlinka, Jiří (referee) ; Rousek, Miroslav (referee) ; Třetina, Karel (advisor)
Letecká doprava jako všechny ostatní dopravy podílí na produkci emisí skleníkových plynů, což je hlavní důvod změn klimatu. Disertační práce je zaměřena na možnost využití alternativního zdroje energie (paliva, motor) v letectví, aby se snížily emise produkované letadel. Oblast,na která již pracuje je všeobecné letectví, zejména letadel kategorie LSA a VLA. Tři možnosti, alternativní zdroj energie, budou diskutovány. První používá LPG palivo, další je elektrické motory, a poslední přidání katalyzátoru a výfukového systému. U každého z nich bude uvedeno výhody a nevýhody, hlavní změnu pohon letadla nebo výfukového systému a různé výkonnosti letadla v důsledku těchto změn.

Stirling engine 3kW combustion chamber
Matuška, Petr ; Zháňal, Lubor (referee) ; Kaplan, Zdeněk (advisor)
This thesis deals with the construction proposal of the combustion chamber of Stirling engine. The introduction briefly describes the history and practical application of Stirlinova engine today. The following section explains the differences between theoretical and real cycle and the principle of beta Stirling engine modifications. The next section is devoted to the calculation of fuel and air consumption and fuel compared to each other. The proposed design is based not only on the calculation of fuel and air, but also heat transfer between flue gas and preheated air. The last part is devoted to calculating the flow of LPG and flow model of the combustion chamber.

Hydrogen fuels
Umlauf, Martin ; Bébar, Ladislav (referee) ; Jícha, Jaroslav (advisor)
Paper presents a basic review and comparison of energy-conservation made of renewable sources. Principal question of paper concerns evaluation of hydrogen-use made of electrolysis of water. First part of the thesis focuses on the production of energy from renewable sources and the possibility of energy-accumulation. The next section describes methods of hydrogen production and utilization of hydrogen as a fuel for combustion engines. Attention is paid to various aspects dealing with construction of combustion engines using hydrogen. Final part of the study presents comparison between combustion engines using known sorts of fuels as to their pollution and emission-level. Next comparison deals with economic cost per kilometer, when different sort of fuels are taken into account. Conclusion concerns approximate calculation of the production of hydrogen from water by electrolysis using photovoltaic power plants.
