Surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering of Zn(II) porphyrins in systems with aggregated and non-aggregated Ag nanoparticles
Spáčil, Dušan ; Vlčková, Blanka (advisor) ; Procházka, Marek (referee)
In this diploma thesis, SERRS(Surface - enhanced resonance Raman Scattering) and SERS (Surface - enhanced Raman Scattering), surface of plasmon extinction spectra and TEM images of systems with tetracationic zinc porphyrin ZnTMPyP and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were studied and interpreted. The systems with isolated nanoparticles and the systems with compact aggregates were investigated. The systems with isolated nanoparticles were prepared by addition of ZnTMPyP to hydrosol of Ag NPs. NaCl was added to this system and so compact aggregates were prepared. SERRS and SERS spectra of ZnTMPyP were studied at excitation wavelengths λexc= 441.6 nm a 532 nm. Firstly, stationary systems and secondly dynamic development of hydrosol Ag NPs → Ag NPs/ ZnTMPyP → Ag NPs/ ZnTMPyP/ NaCl systems for 680 s was investigated. Time evolution of SERRS and SERS spectra were analyzed by factor analysis (FA) and time evolution of spectra extinction plasmon were measured. FA showed a strong increase of the signal of ZnTMPyP after the addition of NaCl, i.e. after conversion of isolated nanoparticles to compact aggregates. In these systems with high concentration of ZnTMPyP the increase of signal was succeeded by its decreased. With help of FA the limit of SERRS spectral detection (λexc= 441,6 nm) and limit of SERS spectral...

Nanoparticles formed by complexes of copolymers with low-molar-mass compounds
Vojtová, Jana
This thesis is focused on mixed systems of various copolymers (double hydrophilic block and gradient polyelectrolytes, hydrophobic graft copolymers) and low-molar-mass compounds (sodium dodecyl sulfate as a representative of a ionic surfactant or superparamagnetic iron oxides in the form of nanocrystals). The electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions in the studied systems in aqueous solutions leading to aggregation behavior and to the formation of co-assembled nanoparticles were investigated by combination of scattering and microscopy techniques, including light, X-ray and neutron scattering, electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy.

Cartographic representation of the development of pupils' ideas about spatial layout and geography of the Czechia
Pastuchová, Tereza ; Hudeček, Tomáš (referee) ; Bláha, Jan Daniel (advisor)
The aim of this study is to analyze the ideas of students of various ages and residence about spatial layout and geography of the Czech Republic. The output is mainly maps that provide visual comparison of these concepts. The method of research is the survey which was carried out on four Czech schools. The beginning of the paper is devoted to the theory of mental maps, specification of hypotheses and the administration of the questionnaire. The analysis of the data is then divided into three parts. The main task of the first part involves the creation of so-called aggregate mental maps of a map of the Czechia (for each school separately). The second part examines the positioning accuracy of Prague on these maps. The last part of the research is to analyze preferences of students for their permanent housing. The conclusion of the study includes a summary evaluation of the results and provides suggestions for further research and possible use of this study.

The Czech Digital Library - aggregation and dissemination of digital content from the Czech libraries
Lhoták, Martin
The goal of the Czech Digital Library is to aggregate content of digital libraries in the Czech Republic. It serves both as a common interface for end users and as a primary national data provider for other national and international projects, especially for Europeana and for the Central portal of the Czech libraries - KNIHOVNY.CZ. Tools to support complex digitization processes which include production, workflow monitoring, dissemination and archiving are developed as an open source in the frame of the project. The software solution for digital library - Kramerius system - is used in more than 30 libraries in the Czech Republic and provides access to tens of millions digital objects. ProArc - system compatible with national and international standards is used in several libraries for digital document production. With regard to the archival part of the solution, standards for long term archiving, such as the OAIS model, are implemented in cooperation with Archivematica system.

Server application to process data from a MySQL database and their interpretation
Gardian, Ján ; Zeman, Kryštof (referee) ; Červenák, Rastislav (advisor)
Diploma thesis is about creating server application that process and interprets data from the database. Main aim of such application is able to process a large number of database requests in real-time environment. Provided database contains records of measuring download speed and quality of mobile connection via different radio technology from various providers. Those measured data are sent from users all around the world and amount of data collected is still growing. Therefore created server application can adapt to increasing size of database thanks to aggregation. This method of aggregation and use of index in database tables are further discussed in the theoretical part. Mainly putting indexes in tables produce significant acceleration of processing database requests. Final product of this thesis is an application that consist of three components: a server application running aggregation, website that interprets measured data and back-end interface providing measured data as well. Data at the website are presented in form of graphs for different countries and used radio technologies. Web address and user manual for finished applications are provided in the fourth chapter of diploma thesis. In the last part of thesis are performed various speed tests of programmed application that confirm the effectiveness of selected and described methods to accelerate work with the database.

Humic Substances Characterization Employing High Resolution Ultrasonic Spectroscopy
Drastík, Martin ; Franců, Juraj (referee) ; Janoš, Pavel (referee) ; Pekař, Miloslav (advisor)
Předkládaná dizertační práce se zabývá využitím techniky vysoce rozlišovací ultrazvukové spektroskopie (HRUS) při analýze huminových látek, za účelem získání hlubšího vhledu do problematiky vztahu mezi jejich primárními charakteristikami (elementární složení a rozložení uhlíku ve funkčních skupinách) a agregačními vlastnostmi. V literární rešerši jsou shrnuty nejnovější poznatky z oblasti studia huminových látek a představeny základní principy HRUS. Dále jsou uvedeny základní informace z oblasti fraktální analýzy a její aplikace na data získaná pomocí různých metod při studiu huminových látek. První úkol experimentální části je zaměřen na výhodné využití HRUS pro výzkum huminových látek, zde reprezentovaných standardy Mezinárodní společnosti pro huminové látky (IHSS) a to sodnými solemi huminových a fulvinových kyselin. Fulvinové kyseliny v jejich protonované formě byly taktéž zkoumány a to z důvodu objasnění vlivu sodného kationu. Pro popis chování vzorků byla použita mocninná funkce, jejíž empirické parametry byly korelovány s primárními charakteristikami. Byla vytvořena metoda fraktální analýzy a následně byla aplikována na data získána ultrazvukovou spektroskopií. Data získaná pomocí ultrazvukové spektroskopie byla zpracována i alternativní metodou. Ta spočívala v globálním pohledu na závislost ultrazvukové rychlosti na koncentraci a využití lineární regrese. Druhým z cílů práce je získání informací o vlivu teploty na stabilitu agregátů HS (IHSS standardy). Byl zkoumán vliv teplotních gradientů na chování agregátů při čtyřech různých koncentracích. V třetí části práce pak byly zkoumány koncentrační závislosti u vzorků pocházejících především z lokalit příliš nezasažených lidskou činností. HRUS data byla proložena mocninnou funkcí a zkoumána pomocí fraktální analýzy. Takto získané parametry byly korelovány s primárními vlastnostmi. Ze znalosti hustoty při dané koncentraci mohly být stanoveny velikosti hydratačních obálek. Jak se v současné době ukazuje, informace o agregačním chování huminových biomolekul mohou být v budoucnu velmi důležité pro navrhování průmyslových aplikací huminových látek, zejména v zemědělství a v ochraně životního prostředí, ale také například v medicíně.

Treatibility of surface water
Fuks, Josef ; Palčík,, Jiří (referee) ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of the master´s thesis is the topic of the treatability of surface water with the focus on the process of suspension formation. For this work I took water samples from five different places around the Brno Dam which has contended with water quality deterioration for a long period. With these water samples, the series of jar coagulation tests were done with the application of three different commonly used coagulants. In the theoretical part of the master´s thesis I deal with the composition and attributes of surface water and the technology of its treatment. Each process of treatment is briefly described here with the emphasis on the process of suspension formation. The experimental part of the master´s thesis summarizes and presents the results gained through the coagulation tests in the laboratory. I evaluate the influence of different parameters on final effectiveness of water treatment and I try to find an optimal amount of coagulant, pH and speed of fast or slow mixing. Finally I compare the suitability of each coagulant and the influence of the sampling site on the effectiveness of water treatment.
