The Influence of Fines on Pore System of Concrete
Elfmarková, Veronika ; Smolka, Hynek (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
Literature does not provide a satisfactory answer to maximum and minimum particle size or the particle size of the mortar phase especially for optimal porosity of concrete. To overcome the shortcomings of the design methods were thought to design a new method for design of concrete mix. This idea is based on a complex analysis of powder materials (determination of granular properties, shape factor of fillers, porosity, packing of powder materials, surface area, etc.) and subsequently to assess the influence to pore system of concrete and physical and mechanical properties in hardened state of concrete. In this work are presented and analyzed two types of fillers – fly ash and limestone dust.

Contrast in image acquired by ionization detector in VP SEM
Goroš, Pavel ; Čudek, Pavel (referee) ; Jirák, Josef (advisor)
This work deal with problems of investigation materials electron beam. This project is focuses on investigation materials by the help of method environmental scan electron microscopy (ESEM) and describes her patterns. The perfection of ESEM excel above all at studies non - conducting or water containing, often biological samples. These samples not to be in no way prepared or cut – and – dries, in contradistinction to classical scanning electron microscope and thanks is under investigation their native surface structure without desiccation breaking. The general aim is determination of contrast in image acquired by ionization detector.

Phosphate binders
Kalina, Lukáš ; Ptáček, Petr (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
The work deals with the preparation and study of polyphosphate composites. Aluminum phosphates provide some unusual properties like high-heat resistance in terms of inorganic binders. The addition of chromium in the form of Cr2O3 or directly the bond with the aluminum-chromium-phosphate can improve the properties of this binder. Highly viscous Al2Cr(H2PO4)9 and Al3Cr(H2PO4)12 binders were prepared by dissolving Al(OH)3 and CrO3 in 85% phosphoric acid, and mixed with Al2O3 and Cr2O3 fillers. The composites were cured in the furnace at 150 °C for 24 h under pressure of 10 MPa. During the annealing at temperatures up to 1 500 °C changes in chemical structure of the cured composites were observed, leading to the understanding of the creation of crystalline phases and their eventual changes. The characterization of binders was mainly based on FT-IR, EDAX, TG-DTA and optical microscopy analyses.

Preparation and Characterization of Drug Carrier Systems on the Basis of Magnetic Nanoparticles
Chvátalová, Barbora ; Burdíková, Jana (referee) ; Kalina, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the study of magnetic nanoparticles, optimizing their preparation and stabilization. The nanoparticles with different ratios of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions were prepared by coprecipitation by variously concentrated sodium hydroxide. Three samples of particles were selected and were further observed. Their stability in Milli-Q water, buffer, polyvinylalcohol, hyaluronic acid and chitosan was studied in function of time using methods of dynamic and electrophoretic light scattering. By UV-VIS spectrometry it was confirmed that the magnetic nanoparticles were actually prepared. Nanoparticles coated with chitosan and hyaluronic acid were then further characterized using FT-IR, XRD and SEM.

Prevalence and diversity of Cryptosporidium infecting fur animals
KELLNEROVÁ, Klára
The object of this thesis was evaluation of occurrence and prevalence of Cryptosporidium infection in fur animals, mainly American mink, fox and chinchilla. A total 370 individual specimens originated from mink (n = 340), fox (n = 18) and chinchilla (n = 12) were collected. While microscopy examination did not proved any presence of Cryptosporidium oocyst in fecal samples, molecular tolls based on amplification of small ribosomal subunit and 60 kDa glycoprotein of Cryptosporidium revealed three positive samples in minks. Following phylogeny analyses of both loci showed presence of C. ubiquitum of the XIIa1 family subtype in all positive samples. The XIIa1 family subtype was detected in Carnivores for the first time. No correlation between Cryptosporidium infection and presence of diarrhea was observed in this thesis.

Electromagnetic-based nano-resolution microscopies for biological research
Kučera, Ondřej ; Cifra, Michal
Research of cell biology is principally related to progress in imaging under diffraction limit of visible light and to the functional imaging. This paper brings short review of experimental techniques including Photonic force microscopy, Scanning microwave microscopy and other relevant techniques. The possibility of employing these techniques for elucidation of endogenous biological electromagnetic activity is discussed
