Minimizing the effect of interference on wireless network
Doležal, Jan ; Kyselák, Martin (referee) ; Škorpil, Vladislav (advisor)
This thesis is concerned the technology with technologies of transfer through wireless devices. It is about possibilities of optimization of transfer in wireless net, especially of the reduction of interference influence. The first part is about theory and the standards development of wireless technology. There are methods and principles used in wireless technologies. The second part is a practical measuring and testing of an internal wireless net, with the emphasis being on the source of interference influence. Measuring was focused on interference between access points and was not about meteorological influence. It continues with theory and testing of interference of the microwave oven in our wireless net. Then, it is a practical demonstration of interference in an external environment. There are practical examples of interference between different providers’ nets on the same area and solutions to prevent or to cancel this interference. In next part of work the wireless net is parsed and described in a given territory. Here is described the way how to precede the reciprocal interference and eventually how this mutual disturbance suppress. Consequently, our net is optimized for customer growth and for today’s options of newer and more powerful components for wireless transfer. Finally there are two laboratory tasks. The first one is about practical measuring and testing of wireless net’s parameters and the second one is about simulation of wireless networks in the Opnet program.

Influence of protein SGIP1 on partners participating in signalization of cannabinoid receptor 1
Pejšková, Lucie ; Blahoš, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Novotný, Jiří (referee)
The G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family represents the largest family of cell surface receptors. GPCRs are activated by endogenous or exogenous ligands, and are targets for more than a quarter of currently used drugs. Activation of receptors initiates intracellular signaling pathways. This way the membrane receptors transfer information from the outside environment into the cell. Based on the signal the cell can respond to the changes of the environment. Key observation important for this thesis is interplay of cannabinoid and opioid signaling in vivo, which can have significant physiological effects1 . Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) and µ opioid receptor (MOR) belong to the rhodopsin family of receptors, and both are coupled with Gαi/o proteins2 . Both are located in certain areas in central nervous system (CNS) and share a lot of important features. Activation of both of the receptors leads to inhibition of adenylyl cyclase, thus decreasing the level of cyclic adenosine monophosphate in the cell, and modulates extracellular regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2)2 . In view of the numerous anatomical, biochemical and pharmacological evidence supporting the existence of the functional interaction between opioid3 and cannabinoid receptor systems this topic became interesting for our research. In our...

The effect of endocannabinoid system on light entrainment of rat circadian system
Filipovská, Eva ; Bendová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Balík, Aleš (referee)
Circadian system of mammals is generated in suprachiasmatic nuclei of hypothalamus. This system is synchronized with light conditions through phase shifts that occur after light exposition during the subjective night. Recent studies have shown that activation of endocannabinoid receptors attenuates the light-induced phase shifts and influences the ability of circadian system to light entrainment. The aim of this work is to examine this influence on behavioral level and on light-reactive cellular processes within the suprachiasmatic nuclei. Our results show that the activation of endocannabinoid system via CB1 receptor agonist modulates the light-induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and the expression of c-Fos protein in neurons of suprachiasmatic nuclei in the rat's brain; these cellular processes correlate with the attenuation of light entrainment. Keywords: circadian system, suprachiasmatic nuclei, light entrainment, endocannabinoid system, CB1 receptors, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, ERK1/2, c-Fos

Circadian regulation of STAT3 protein in the SCN and it's activation by leptin in the SCN, other parts of hypothalamus and the pineal gland
Moníková, Veronika ; Bendová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Jelínková, Dana (referee)
JAK/STAT signaling pathway is one of the most studied intracellular cascades transmitting signals from the extracellular environment to the cell nucleus in order to affect expression of target genes. Circadian clocks localized in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus are sensitive especially to light but they can respond to non-photic stimuli such as growth factors, opioids, leptin and cytokines that have been demonstrated to perform its function via the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. The recent findings of our laboratory demonstrated that STAT3 protein is highly produced by SCN of rat. Primary aim of our experiments was to test the circadian regulation of STAT3 production in SCN and describe the effect of exogenously administered leptin on STAT3 phosphorylation in the SCN, pineal gland and hypothalamic structures responsible for regulated feeding behavior and energy metabolism. Because activation of leptin receptors may stimulate a number of other signaling cascades, we chose phosphorylated forms of kinase ERK1/2 and GSK-3β as other markers of intracellular changes after administration of leptin in the studied structures. Our results proved rhythmic production of STAT3 protein in SCN of rat and indicated circadian regulation of sensitivity to leptin in hypothalamic structures. The data...

ERK1/2 MAP kinase - Structure and Interaction Partners
Přibyl, Miroslav ; Vopálenský, Václav (advisor) ; Žíla, Vojtěch (referee)
Extracellular signal molecules are recognized by membrane receptors on the surface of eukaryotic cells. Receptors transmit the signal into the intracellular space where activation of the concrete enzymes occurs. Activated enzymes may be protein kinases that phosphorylate the substrate proteins corresponding to the requirements for specific recognition by a protein kinase. Substrate proteins may be structural proteins and enzymes, which in turn transmit the signal or directly affect the physiological processes of the cell. The protein kinase family accounts for ERK1 and ERK2 (Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2), enzymes which affect cell growth, cell cycle and numerous other physiological processes of the cell. Protein kinases are dynamic molecules, which undergo a series of conformational changes during their catalytic cycle and whose stability and function are affected by conformational changes. Conserved amino acid residues carry out the function of protein kinases. These factors are also involved in interactions with protein substrates and regulatory proteins, and are responsible for specific function of protein kinase.

Krajčovič, Jozef ; Mazal,, Ctibor (referee) ; Kapička, Vratislav (referee) ; Friedl, Zdeněk (advisor)
Thesis presents synthesis and study of thiophene monomers, oligomers and polymers. The new series of thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine copolymers based on 3-dodecylthiophene and pyrazine monomers were prepared by oxidative polymerization with FeCl3. The effective synthetic method for preparation of 3-alkylthiophenes and thiophene oligomers was developed by optimizing of Kumada cross-couplig. The mentioned method could be realized for multikilos scale with possibility of transfer to pilot plant production. The second part of thesis focuses on synthesis and study of new thiophene compounds, which consist of both 2,3-diazo-1,3-butadiene bridge with two terminal chromophores and two thiophene units linked together via -position by pyrazine or hydrazine bridge. Finally, the new type of regular alternating copolymer consists of 2,2´:5´,2´´-terthiophene-5,5´-dicarboxylic acid (TEDA) and polyethyleneoxide (PEO) was prepared. Formation of polymer nano-subunits as separated phases in solid state was confirmed by TEM.
