Miloš Urban versus literary reviewers
Prokop, Daniel ; Jonáková, Anna (advisor) ; Halada, Jan (referee)
The bachelor thesis analyze works of contemporary czech prose-writer Miloš Urban and response of literary critics to Urban's novels. The papers are focused on three novels, in particular: Sedmikostelí (1999), Stín katedrály (2003) and Santiniho jazyk (2005). Gothic and gothic-baroque architecture play essential role in all of them, so they are defined as "architectural trilogy". The thesis distinguish two components of Urbans postmodern novels: high-art and low-art. The aim of the study is to analyze both of them. The high-art component of Urban's novels is a dualism of racionality and iracionaility, modern and traditional society. The low-art component of his work is a brutality, a violence and homicedes. Two central reviewers hypotheses are presented and discussed: a) the philosophy of Urban's novels is just a postmodern mystification, b) the fuction of the low-art component is taken from horror and detective stories.

Reproducing Hawthone experiments of Elton Mayo: case study of small group work efficiency
Michalová, Lea ; Osuský, Michal (advisor) ; Prokop, Daniel (referee)
The Bachelor thesis "Reproducing Hawthorne experiments of Elton Mayo: case study of small group work efficiency" describes research in a company. The goals of this thesis are reproducing the experiments made by Elton Mayo in Western Electric co. and finding efficient methods for improving the work efficiency. The research is experimental and covers thirteen weeks during which ten independent variables were tested. The variables were changing financial motivation, evaluation and work organization. The efficiency is measured by five service quality indicators. The interpretation also includes feedback from the participants and their manager. The most efficient arrangement was work organization tested in week 7 and it was implemented into company's daily routine afterwards. First the goals of the thesis and the research problem are introduced followed by theoretical background, selected methods of improving work efficiency used in the thesis. In the research section there is a part concerning methodology and group specifications and of course the research itself. In the conclusion there is a room for discussion and evaluation of the research goals and its success. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Generation of tennis singles results
Prokop, Dominik ; Rosa, Rudolf (advisor) ; Kasner, Zdeněk (referee)
This thesis deals with the problem of generating short articles about past tennis singles from structured data. Articles are generated by using templates heuristically obtained from the original news articles. The result of this thesis is a template database and a graphic application which using these templates for given input generates corresponding short articles. This thesis also includes evaluation of the application outputs which shows that 64 % of the generated texts are correct. 1

Study of the structure and properties of black aluminium thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering
Prokop, Dejan ; Hruška, Petr (advisor) ; Čížek, Jakub (referee)
Black metallic thin films are characterized by their excessively rough fractal-like surface structure. Furthermore, black metal films have a much bigger surface- to-volume ratio compared to classic reflective metals. Therefore, they can be used e.g. as a basis for optical or chemical sensors. In the present bachelor thesis, we study and pro- vide a comparison between the properties of reflective and black thin films with thickness in the range of 50-700 nm prepared by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering. A small amount of nitrogen that is introduced during deposition to a chamber is responsible for a change in the structure and the growth of the black films. Different surface morphology is studied using a contact profilometer, atomic force microscope and scanning electron microscope. The measurements obtained by these instruments provide valuable information regarding the overall surface structure and means of growth. The surface roughness, as well as the mean crystallite size was observed to increase with the thickness of the films. The X-ray diffraction analysis shows that both types of film crystallize in the face-centered cubic crystal structure. Spectrophotometrical measurements of specular reflectance pro- vide quantitative information about the optical properties. The ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared...

Processing of tomographic data by principal component analysis method for archaeological applications
Prokop, David ; Žídek, Jan (referee) ; Pořízka, Pavel (advisor)
Rentgenová počítačová tomografie je metoda sloužící ke 3D zobrazování vnitřní struktury objektů. Mikrostruktura objektů ukrývá důležité informace, které mohou být použity k jejich charakterizaci. Tato práce podává spojení mezi datasety získanými pomocí rentgenové počítačové mikrotomografie a oblastí statistického zpracování dat. Výstupem metody, pak bude klasifikace vzorků na základě informací o jejich mikrostruktuře. Z výsledků klasifikace vzorků, pak můžeme vyvodit různé hypotézy týkající se původu vzorků. Tato práce by mimo jiné mohla sloužit jako takový nový vhled do problematiky kombinace dat různého původu, pomocí metod statistické analýzy.

Analysis and construction of an optical fibre tunable attenuator for telecommunication applications
Prokop, Daniel ; Eliáš, Josef (referee) ; Urban, František (advisor)
This paper deals with the possibilities of designing the module for control of the attenuation of the optical signal. The paper describes basics of ber optic transmission and beam e ects. Variants of attenuation cells are characterized in this paper and based on the ndings a solution of the module for control of the attenuation of the optical signal is proposed. Practical section of the thesis deals with the design and physical construction of module for control of the attenuation of the optical signal using MEMS variable optical attenuator.

Fraunhofer diffraction by identical objects of the same orientation
Prokop, David ; Bouchal, Petr (referee) ; Komrska, Jiří (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis deals with Fraunhofer diffraction by identical objects of the same orientation. Main objective of my thesis is description of Fraunhofer diffraction for three different arrangements of holes along a straight line. In next part, the problem of random distribution of holes along straight line is set into plane. The outcome of my thesis is determination of deviations from regular array of holes. Next part of my thesis includes a description of Fraunhofer diffraction experiment. In final part of my thesis are pictures of diffraction phenomena, to illustrate results obtained from model of random distribution of holes.
