The influence of fuel prices to the cost of building
Kaplan, Ondřej ; Zajpt, Karel (referee) ; Nový, Martin (advisor)
In theoretical part of the thesis I first mentioned a project management structures and the way it compiles the price of the works. I also noted a general procedure for calculating the price of work construction machinery. Conclusion theoretical part I dedicated the composition, development and consumption of fuel prices. The aim of this thesis was to analyze the effect of changes in fuel prices on the cost of the building and generalize this affect the whole construction output. This target has been demonstrated in practical part of this work. I was doing calculations on a particular project.

Differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells on fibrin assemblies supported by immobilized growth factors FGF2 and VEGF
Musílková, Jana ; Filová, Elena ; Kaplan, Ondřej ; Bačáková, Lucie
Bioartificial heart valves and vascular grafts prepared from decellularized tissues could be recellularized with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are able to differentiate into both smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. MSCs differentiation is facilitated by sustained release of growth factors. In our study assemblies based on fibrin, fibrin with heparin, fibrin with adsorbed or covalently-immobilized vascular endothelial growth factor A165 (VEGF) or basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) via binding to heparin attached to fibrin have been prepared and were evaluated for their stimulation of MSCs differentiation. We estimated the mRNA expression of endothelial marker CD31 (PECAM1), smooth muscle marker α-actin (ACTA2), osteoblast markers osteocalcin (BGLAP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The gene expression was estimated using RT-PCR on days 1, 7 and 21 after seeding. The cell morphology and viability was evaluated by LIVE/DEAD staining. VEGF, both adsorbed and covalently bound, increased significantly the expression of smooth muscle marker α-actin. The mRNA expression of ACTA2 on day 7 and 21 raised more than 200 times in comparison to control samples (undifferentiated cells before seeding). The ACTA2 gene expression significantly exceeded the expression of all other evaluated genes at all time intervals. Moreover, on day 21, the late smooth muscle marker desmin (DES) was steeply rising in cells cultivated on assemblies containing heparin and covalently bound VEGF. The expression of osteocalcin was minimal. We conclude that fibrin assembly containing covalently bound VEGF is the most convenient for MSCs differentiation towards smooth muscle cells.

Seeking Novel Nitrilase Enzyme (Nitrile Aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.5.1)
Martínková, Ludmila ; Kaplan, Ondřej ; Veselá, Alicja Barbara
Our research group has created a library of novel nitrilases. In general, the enzymes are available from heterologous producers in amounts ranging from 10 to 20 mg of protein exhbiting 25-50 % purity. The enzymes differ from each other in substrate specificity, temperature optimum, enantioselectivity (arylacetonitrilases) etc. Preferential substrates are phenylacetonitrile, (R,S)-mandelonitrile, benzonitrile or cyanopyridines (depending on the enzyme).
