Methylene Blue Test for Plasticity Determination of Brick Clays
Jiroušek, Štěpán ; Stančík,, Hynek (referee) ; Sokolář, Radomír (advisor)
The Bachelor thesis is focused on methods for assesing the plasticity of ceramic raw materials (clays). The theoretical part describes the origin, species, chemical and mineralogical composition of these raw materials. Then we describe the preparations and standardized and nonstandardized methods of assesing the plasticity of clay used in the Czech Republic and abroad. The practical part describes executed tests of brick soils specimen used in the Czech Republic. The outcome of this work is to find correlations between these tests and the determined value of sorption of methylen blue.

Origin of biomolecules over clays under conditions of early terrestrial planets
Hrnčířová, Jana ; Ferus, Martin (advisor) ; Vaculovičová, Markéta (referee)
The mankind has always been interested in the origin of life on Earth or in the universe. The Oparin's theory1 replaced creationist metaphysical theories (of gods' actions on Earth to create life) in the beginning of the twentieth century. This theory explained production of basic building blocks of life like amino acids, nucleobases and sugars from abiogenic mixture of gases and subsequent formation of so-called coacervates. The synthesis of amino acids was then confirmed by experiments of Miller and Urey2 . Especially the theory of simple formation of nucleobases became an essential contradiction between evolutionary and molecular biologists and chemists. From biological point of view it seems very probable that primal life structures were based on the self-replicating molecule of RNA. From chemical point of view the synthesis of nucleobases seemed very problematic, therefore the models of life structures based on amino acids were favorited. This opposes the basic dogma of molecular biology, which postulates one-way transcriptions of nucleobases' sequence into amino acids' sequence exclusively. In our experiments we follow the idea of simple production of nucleobases from formamide molecule in possible primordial conditions. The mixture of formamide with different types of clays was exposed to...
