Fuels in 21. century
Lébl, Jan ; Svída, David (referee) ; Dundálek, Radim (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis is intent on introducing the overview of particular types of fuels used at present for ignition and diesel internal combustion engines. Marginally is mentioned the theme of fuels used for fuel cells. Further it deals with the composition of each fuel types and their characteristics and ecological aspects of their use. The ending of the thesis is aimed to formulation of the development trends in fuels and the prospects of each fuel type’s expansion in the future.

The use of BEAS-2B cell line for micronucleus assay in genetic toxicology
Červená, Tereza ; Rössner, Pavel (advisor) ; Rubeš, Jiří (referee)
This thesis deals with the application of BEAS-2B cell line for micronucleus assay in genetic toxicology. It is divided into two main parts: a) theoretical introduction to the analysis and search for suitable models for testing the impact of air pollution and manufactured nanoparticles, b) practical part that describes the results of micronuclei induction by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), extractable organic matter (EOM) from diesel exhaust particles obtained from emissions of three types of fuel and engineered nanoparticles. BEAS-2B cell line is a nonmalignant human model of lung epithelium which seems to be suitable for micronucleus assay. This assay is commonly used for determining the genotoxicity of various substances to wide variety of cell cultures and also in human studies. In this thesis, the following substances were tested: benzo[a]pyrene, 3-nitrobenzanthrone and 1-nitropyrene as carcinogenic PAHs commonly found in polluted air; EOMs from exhaust particles of 100 % diesel fuel, a blend of diesel fuel and 30 % of biodiesel, 100 % biodiesel and two types of engineered nanoparticles (TiO2 and Ag). The cells were treated with the compounds for 28, 48 and 72 hours. The results confirm the suitability of BEAS-2B cell line as a model for testing the genotoxicity of substances under...

How the Icreasing of the Excise Tax in the Czech Republic in the Year 2010 Influenced the State Budget
Požárek, Martin ; Potužák, Pavel (advisor) ; Chytil, Zdeněk (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with a question how the icreasing of the excise tax in the Czech Republic in the year 2010 influenced the state budget. Using the estimations with the help of regression analysis I learn that the demand for diesel in the Czech Republic is unit elastic. But due to the increase of the excise tax was percentually higher than the percentual decrease of the refueled litres of diesel, the state budget incomes were higher due to this taxation than it would have been when the taxes were set in the preceeding rate. With the help of analysis I also learn that the cross elasticity regarding the price of diesel inneighbouring countries has the value of 0,79 and the intensity elasticity of transportation is 1,07. In the last chapter the thesis deals with alternative situations that would upcome in case of not changing the excise tax rate of the last year in the Czech Republic or possibly Slovakia and their influence to tax incomes to the state budget in the first eight months of the year 2010.
