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

Electric field generated by higher vibration modes of microtubule
Cifra, Michal ; Havelka, D. ; Kučera, Ondřej ; Pokorný, Jiří
Certain structures in a living cell may generate electric oscillations. Microtubules, which form a part of a cellular skeleton, belong to this class of structures and ful-fill all conditions for generation of electric oscillations in kHz÷GHz band. We present selected results from calculations of the oscillatory electric field generated by higher vibration modes of microtubules. We propose that the electric field of certain modes may play specific function in cellular organization

Time and frequency transfer in all-optical network
Smotlacha, V. ; Kuna, Alexander
This paper describes usage of all-optical network for time metrology application - Time and frequency transfer between two geographically distant sites. Although several approaches exist, there is no production implementation yet. Our method is based on newly developed adapters utilizing channels in a DWDM (Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing) network. We present results of tests performed in real production all-optical network including the time transfer between atomic clocks in Prague and Vienna over more than 500 km long optical path

Implementation of 1D mathematical model of vocal cavities into TTS synthesizer – preliminary study
Radolf, Vojtěch ; Horák, Petr
Simplified 1D mathematical models of the human vocal tract were modified for using them in Text-To-Speech systems so that they help to simulate emotional speech. The geometry (area function) of the models for all Czech vowels was modified using the inverse task optimization procedure so that the computed formant frequencies match the measured formant frequencies of utterances of professional speaker. Output acoustic pressure signal generated from the models in wav format sounded satisfactorily for all the vowels and fundamental frequencies varied in an octave range from 77 Hz to 156 Hz. Neverthelles more testing procedures are needed to verify reliability and quickness of the model as well as intelligibility of generated utterances especially in formant TTS system and linear predictive TTS system.

GLOTTAL SIGNAL MODIFICATION FOR EMOTIONAL SPEECH SYNTHESIS
Vondra, Martin ; Vích, Robert
In the contribution speech decomposition into the source and vocal tract components is described. It is based on separation of the signal into the minimum- and maximum-phase speech components. Further the modification of the source speech component by changing the glottal model parameters is applied in order to achieve emotional speech by change of the neutral speech style

Subspace Methods in Linear DS - CDMA Detection
Šimša, Jan
Application of signal subspace methods in linear mean square error (MSE) detectors of direct sequence CDMA signals. Focusing on the cross-spectral (CS) method, its origin and a relation to multistage Wiener filter (MWF) is shown. This filter results from splitting of correlation matrix
