International sales contract
Kolář, Jan ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Pfeiffer, Magdalena (referee)
Jan Kolář - International sales contract Abstract Topic of this master's thesis is international sales contract, more specifically remedies for the breach of international sales contract. As a substantive law by which remedies for the breach of international sales contract are judged is the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Reason for choosing the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods as a substantive law for this thesis is that this convention represents one of the most successful and most widely used international legal norm used to govern international trade in today's world. This is mainly because of the Convention's well balanced and impartial approach and also the fact that the Convention has been ratified in 83 states which significantly contribute to the overall volume of an international trade. This thesis mostly uses analytical and descriptive legal research methods. This is given by the nature of its subject. However, the thesis does not only describe provisions of the Convention but aspires to point its reader to most salient and problematic features of the Convention. The thesis is divided into six chapter, introduction and conclusion. For better clarity chapters are further structured into two more levels. First...

Using SAR data for wet snow monitoring
Matyáš, Jiří ; Kolář, Jan (advisor) ; Součková, Jana (referee)
Using SAR data for wet snow monitoring Abstract This paper focuses on an existing method of snow information retrieval by means of satellite SAR data. The method was first presented by Malnes and Guneriussen (2002), and has been proven to be capable of sub-pixel classification of wet snow. It is also able to classify dry snow pixels. The classification is based on change detection, so a snow-free reference image is required. Some flaws in this algorithm have been discovered during the work on this paper and are discussed, as well as a possible solution is suggested. I have also proposed a modification of the algorithm which could improve the classification results and tested the modified algorithm. Keywords: SAR, snow cover, remote sensing, wet snow

Modeling of solar irradiance for lunar base locations
Čašek, Jakub ; Brůha, Lukáš (advisor) ; Kolář, Jan (referee)
Modeling of solar irradiance for lunar base locations Abstract An incident radiation is an essential factor for a discovery of a place suitable for building a lunar base. This thesis presents a new approach for modeling of solar irradiance in an arbitrary lunar location at selected time. Shadowing by surrounding terrain is calculated by spatial intersection between lines of illumination and digital terrain model. Model also takes variable distance between Moon and Sun and areal representation of the Sun into account. In this thesis a new geometrical procedure for calculation of reflected irradiance is designed. The resulting model is implemented within ArcGIS software as an executable script, which utilizes the freely available data from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter as an input. Key words: Moon, solar irradiance, geoinformatic modelling, scripting

Criminality in the Film of the Post-1968 Czechoslovakia
Hodura, Pavel ; Pullmann, Michal (advisor) ; Kolář, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the depiction of criminality and violence in the film in the post-1968 period in Czechoslovakia called normalization. The topic is closer explored especially in the second half of the 80s. The thesis seeks to demonstrate this phenomenon on three selected films (Pavučina, Bony a klid, Proč?). The social perception of criminality and violence in the film is viewed from the perspective of contemporary media reactions, particularly from professional critics, reviews, and surveys, or from the opinions of viewers. The aim is to determine the image of this phenomenon of criminality and violence in the society by comparing these media outputs.

Hyperspectral Remote Sensing for Environmental Mapping and Monitoring
Kopačková, Veronika ; Kolář, Jan (advisor) ; Chabrillat, Sabine (referee) ; Van den Meer, F. Devaraj (referee)
The main purpose of this thesis is to use Image Spectroscopy as a tool to monitor the environmental conditions in a region affected by anthropogenic activities via estimating both geochemical and biochemical parameters on a regional scale. The research has been carried on the Sokolov lignite mine, NW Bohemia, a region affected by long-term extensive mining. The thesis is divided into two thematic parts. First part is devoted to applications of Image Spectroscopy into Acid Mine Drainage mapping and its related issues (chapters 2 and 3). In chapter 2 the equivalent mineral end-members were successfully derived from the ASTER image data (Advanced Space-borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer satellite data). In the chapter 3 the pH was estimated on the basis of mineral and image spectroscopy. The Multi Range Spectral Feature Fitting (MRSFF) technique was utilized for mineral mapping and the multiple regression model using the fit images, the results of MRSFF, as inputs was constructed to estimate the surface pH and statistical significant accuracy was attained. In the second thematic part (chapters 4-6) Image Spectroscopy is applied into monitoring of vegetation stress. A new statistical method was developed to assess the physiological status of macroscopically undamaged foliage of Norway...

Use of remote sensing for determination of the water content
Matyáš, Jiří ; Kolář, Jan (advisor) ; Kopačková, Veronika (referee)
Using SAR data for wet snow monitoring Abstract This paper focuses on an existing method of snow information retrieval by means of satellite SAR data. The method was first presented by Malnes and Guneriussen (2002), and has been proven to be capable of sub-pixel classification of wet snow. It is also able to classify dry snow pixels. The classification is based on change detection, so a snow-free reference image is required. Some flaws in this algorithm have been discovered during the work on this paper and are discussed, as well as a possible solution is suggested. Because this method is uncapable of classifying pixels containing water bodies, I have proposed an algorithm that can classify snow cover on lakes to enhance its capabilities. Also, a way to improve the wet snow cover classification by means of optical data was suggested. Keywords: SAR, snow cover, remote sensing, wet snow

Hladká, Anna ; Kolář, Jan (advisor) ; Potůčková, Markéta (referee)
Determination of Atmospheric Pollution from Satellite Data Abstract The subject of this project is to determine air quality in Prague and the surrounding area based on satellite images and ground measurements data. The goal is to derive equations for calculating an amount of a specific pollutant over the entire area of the image. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the general theory and literature review related to this topic. The methodological part describes the steps of the procedure to handle the task, including e.g. converting satellite DN values to the radiometric values, atmospheric correction, regression analysis and mapping of the area of interest. Subsequently, the results are visualized, compared to the traditional interpolation methods and discussed. Finally, the contributions of this project and possible improvement of work on the topic are presented. Key words: Air pollution, Satellite images, Atmospheric correction, Regression analysis, Prague and surroundings

Determination of cloud types from satellite radiometric measurements
Opat, Lukáš ; Kolář, Jan (advisor) ; Kaňák, Ján (referee)
The thesis is focused on analysis and possible modifications of methods and procedures allowing the determination of various cloud types using the satellite data. Today, the main methods are concentrated around two the most applied international projects, one being developed for the instrument MODIS on board American Terra and Aqua polar satellites, and the other one being developed for the instrument SEVIRI on the European geostationary satellite Meteosat. The algorithms used for automatic discrimination of several cloud types operationally are created on these models. The American program MODIS Atmosphere have been created by NASA and the European program NWC SAF have been developed by organization EUMETSAT. Content of the thesis is to specify how input parameters influence final result of cloud determination in both models, and how results are depending on the external meteorological and geographical conditions during data acquisition. The effort will be given to identification of main drawbacks at two models and to identify conditions when their respective application is limited, their results different and to make steps towards possible modifications to mitigate the drawbacks. The analysis will use ground data and optimal developed procedure for validation of satellite data processing. The...

Sigma-porous sets and the differentiation theory
Koc, Martin ; Zajíček, Luděk (advisor) ; Zelený, Miroslav (referee) ; Kolář, Jan (referee)
of the dissertation thesis Title: Sigma-porous sets and the differentiation theory Author: Martin Koc Department: Department of mathematical analysis Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Luděk Zajíček, DrSc., Department of mathematical analysis Abstract: The thesis consists of five research articles. In the first one, it is shown that there exists a closed upper porous (in a strong sense) subset of a nonempty, topolo- gically complete metric space without isolated points that is not σ-lower porous (in a weak sense). In the second article, a new notion of porosity with respect to a measure, that generalizes the upper porosity of a measure, is introduced. Several natural definitions of this notion are investigated. The main result of this chapter is a decomposition theorem for sets that are σ-porous with respect to a measure. The third article deals with sets of points at which arbitrary real functions are Lipschitz from one side and not Lipschitz from another side. A full characterization of the system generated by sets of this type is proved. In the fourth article, several results on relations among metric derived numbers for functions with values in metric spaces are shown. The last chapter deals with existence of differentiable extensions for functions defined on closed subsets of Rn . Its main result...
