Speaker identity indicators in the domain of the temporal modulation of the speech signal
Weingartová, Lenka ; Volín, Jan (advisor) ; Machač, Pavel (referee)
AbstractAbstractAbstractAbstract This diploma thesis aims to contribute to the field of speaker recognition in the domain of temporal changes in the speech signal. After a brief introduction into forensic phonetics, it gives an outline of approaches and factors which help or hinder successful recognition. The focus is then shifted to the temporal structure of speech and approaches to its analysis currently in use. The practical section of this thesis consists of an experiment designed to assess the contribution of certain temporal measures to speaker recognition. The variables used here are %V (the proportion of vocalic intervals within a sentence), ΔV and ΔC (the standard deviation of the duration of vocalic/consonantal intervals within a sentence), VarcoV and VarcoC (the previous variables normalised for average interval duration) and the Pairwise Variability Indices, both vocalic and consonantal, raw and normalised. Beside these, another variable is used to capture the local articulation rate and especially final deceleration in the utterances - LAR (the inverse of the distance between successive midpoints of the vocalic intervals). Whereas the first mentioned variables are not very successful in distinguishing the speakers, LAR seems very well suited for capturing speaker idiosyncrasies, although...

Later and Foreign Works of Josef Mach
Havlátová, Bára ; Wiendl, Jan (advisor) ; Merhaut, Luboš (referee)
The monographic thesis mainly solves poetry and prose of Josef Mach, the Czech writer, journalist and clerk. It watches literary progress of his poetics according to the era context, influenc of places, historical and social events and inspirations of other artists who surrounded him. The work look into the texts and lyrics by a diachronic and synchronic way. The section about his original works is followed by a chapter about translations of several novels, because he acted even on this literary field. Then the general outline of the reception of Mach's personality and works since the time of his life until today. The whole thesis is introduced by Mach's biography to which it returns in many topics because his works have an empiric character and it is closely connected to the life. The object of the thesis is to sum information about all these topics and give it as a base for future expert research.

Algorithmic Generation of Esthetical Rhytmical Sequences
Mahnert, Jakub ; Klepárník, Petr (referee) ; Beran, Vítězslav (advisor)
The goal of this project is to design and implement a system, suited for proving or disproving the claim that it is possible to generate unique rhythmical sequences, which a human will perceive as aesthetical. In the project, a framework, aiding the design of such algorithms that create rhythmical sequences using composition was implemented. On top of it, several such algorithms were implemented with the notion to test their performance using a custom testing front end solution. From the gained data, the project tries to find correlations between the aspects of the algorithms with the resulting perceived aesthetical value as well as attempt to answer the initial conundrum.

Dostálová, Lea ; Lazarov, Pavel (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
CONCEPTION - Different attitude than expected - Attempt to implement a model of so called city house which is already known for centuries in present Přerov. -Attempt to minimalize need number of parking places and their placement only on the groung. SOLUTION A result of the design is polyfunctional complex of five separate houses with following functions: housing (mayority) services, shopping, offices and religious areas.The goal of the solution is to fill up the corner between Brabansko and Malá Dlážka streets properly and avail excellent light conditions (orientation of main street facades is southeastern). With the rhytm and facade division particular objects try to distort strong horizontality of the street line. The corner is accented and thus represents the opposite of close Sokol building.

Computer-Generated Music
Chmelka, Jakub ; Polok, Lukáš (referee) ; Fapšo, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis deals with the problem of music composition by means of computers. The system uses artificial neural networks which learn the regularities of the chosen music genre from the recordings in MIDI format. In addition to the melody, this work places great emphasis on rhythm of newly created compositions. Besides the problem of neural networks, this work deals with the appropriate representation of input data and re-conversion into MIDI format. The system is implemented as a set of scripts mainly in the mathematical software Matlab.

Roots of Moravian Urban Structure
Mohelník, Ladislav ; Löw, Jiří (referee) ; Prokeš, Oldřich (referee) ; Hrabec, Josef (referee) ; Koutný, Jan (advisor)
The thesis has been written on the basis of main architectural concepts and their application in real life within a historical context investigation. Main architectural concepts are represented in a harmony of architectural composition that deals with relations among form, structure and space in the unique art work. Genius loci play very important role in the architectural creation - it represents a special and extra-ordinary urban locality and its architectural value in the historical, geographical and cultural context. The origin of Ostravice village within the historical frame concept of Moravia domain is the topic of this thesis. Other historical documents gave information about Bruneswerde as the Brno Castle. That means Brno Castle had to be founded not in Brno (as it has been consid-ered for many years) but it was located in Beskydy at Ostravice. The sacred city – Civitas Dei had been located in Bruneswerde region in early ages as the centre of European culture, education and spiritual life. Civitas Dei – divine Jerusalem in the transcription of St. Augustine's book De civitate Dei – is not only glorification of God and religious fantasy. It is also one of significant clues for recognition of historical architecture. The depiction of unknown settlement from the book of unde-fined origin is a superb testimony about extinct architectural works. They are legible from cadastral maps. Brno Castle - residence of nobility and power served shelter to St. Vojtěch, St. Prokop, St. Václav and St. Ludmila as it is obvious for the mentioned picture. Three major temples, three com-position axes symbolized by three towers on coins are in analogical relation to Brno triangle of four saints - the Saint family of Brno temples. Powerful ambitions of Brno City principals and clergy are inscribed into the urban structure in the way of composition relations which are legible to them who devoted themselves to the mystery of harmony. The absence of historical continuity affects personal attitudes and also identity of the whole community. The architecture truly reflects the past state of polis and it is eloquent even after its death. The architectural composition relations influence the natural environment for long time, longer than the architectural work existence. The geometric order of Renaissance Brno existence has not been in attention of architects so far. The features were discovered in characteristic paintings by Albrecht Durer. They are evidently secret works of the genius. A meaningful collaborator and follower in the extensive project was also his friend Jan Čert from Brno and lately from Vienna. His noble genealogy played a significant role in history of Silesia and Moravia for centuries. It is tendency to consider him as Austrian or even German architect. It is because of the fact that the genealogy tree of his noble family had roots in Moravia. It is supposed that Durer with Jan Čert´s support created the extraordinarily monumental architectural and urban works in Brno. A remarkable consensus in the urban composition of two squares and transition of traditional urban structure of Ostravice Civitas Dei into the modern Brno is also confirmed due to the identification of noble creators and owners, who were at the foundation, transformation and extinction of elements of the Moravian urban structure.
