New Approaches in Cardiac Optical Mapping
Švrček, Martin ; Kizek, René (referee) ; Sovka, Pavel (referee) ; Provazník, Ivo (advisor)
This dissertation deals with new approaches in cardiac optical mapping. The principle of cardiac optical mapping as well as the current research in this field was described. The new measurement system was developed and its characteristics presented. The system design allows epicardial and endocardial mapping, employing new ratiometric techniques in 2D acquisition and simultaneous electrical and optical mapping. The measured characteristics of fluorescent dye di-4-ANEPPSS were presented. The relation between movement and consequent motion artifacts is well described. Several new approaches in signal processing were proposed, including new ratiometry technique and using image registration to suppress motion artifacts. The algorithm for elastic image registration of optical signals and innovative method for verification of registration process were presented. Application of all proposed approaches and its results are included and discussed.

Solodovnikova, Tatiana ; Gabrielová, Jarmila (advisor) ; Havlík, Jaromír (referee) ; Douša, Eduard (referee)
Restoration of a whole picture of a musicallife of the XX century and a multilaterally research of activity and creativity of the personalities forrning music's unique shape, help to better understand the music progress. It is also necessary to study and to compare an extensive musical material, in particular of chamber music, the compositions of the different composers in a genre of string quartet. Many works are devoted to life and activity of D. Milhaud (1892-1974) as one of the most prominent French composers of the first half of the XX century, but not all his heritage was studied in detail. The genre of string quartet can be a subject for extensive research because it is the most important part of the work of this composer within years 1912-1951 and consequently that string quartet reflects the composer's style. Insufficient interest in Milhauďs chamber music in the academic literature is connected with necessity to appreciate at the certain stage the leading genres of his work, such as an opera, a ballet, a cantata, a symphonic music; thereby Milhauďs quartets are not unequivocally valued in academic literature. The mam subject in this dissertation is a question of tradition and innovaton in Milhauďs quartets Nos. 1-9 written in a fairly long period of Milhauďs life in years 1912- 1935, based on the...

Josefovičová, Milena ; Míšková, Alena (advisor) ; Janko, Jan (referee) ; Kaiserová, Kristina (referee)
The German Technical University in Prague 1938-1945 Investigation into the history of the Prague German Technical University broadens our knowledge not only of higher education, but also of the standing and education of the German population on Czech territory. Technical education, thought and inventiveness as phenomena of the industrial revolution gradually increase in importance with regard to overall social development. The 1938-1945 period, fundamentally different from previous periods, marked by Munich, the occupation, the war, the tragic culmination of Czech-German relations, came to be an inglorious concluding chapter to the existence of the Prague German Technical University, which began in 1806. The development of institutes of higher technical education within the Third Reich forms an important context for this research. This is where historiography first gets to grips with the complex of associated questions, from the privileging of technical subjects by the Nazi regime to the employment of technical elites and their participation in military research. The proposition that Nazism was hostile towards science leads on to further considerations, such as the place of technical science and technical colleges in the Third Reich, the role which they played and the results achieved by Nazi...
