Short-term application of elevated temperature and drought influences the isotopic composition of winter wheat grains
Pernicová, Natálie ; Urban, Otmar ; Čáslavský, Josef ; Klem, Karel ; Trnka, Miroslav
The study aimed to determine the differences in carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope ratios in grains of three winter wheat varieties grown under optimal and stress conditions. We found that the wheat variety has a significant effect on both δ13C and δ15N isotope ratios. Short-term (nine days) exposure to drought and high temperature during the heading or stem extension development phase significantly enhanced δ13C values, but only high temperature affected δ15N values. Enhanced δ15N values support the assumption that global warming causes a higher representation of the 15N isotope in plants. Moreover, significant interactive effects of temperature and water availability on the values of both isotopes were found implying that C and N metabolisms have been altered under the investigated stress conditions. We conclude that δ13C and δ15N isotope ratios of cereal grains are sensitive indicators of stress conditions, even short-term ones

Granular Synthesis in Music Production
Pečinka, Pavel ; Glembek, Ondřej (referee) ; Černocký, Jan (advisor)
Cílem této práce je navrhnout a vytvořit aplikaci pro granulární syntézu, využitelnou v hudbení produkci. Aplikace je implementována jako VST3 zásuvný modul s využitím frameworku JUCE a programovacího jazyka C++ a je schopná propojení s programy typu Digital Audio workstation, zkráceně DAW, což jsou programy sloužící jako centrální bod pro hudební producenty, kde mohou mimo jiné vytvářet nové zvuky, provádět mixování skladeb a vytvářet zvukové nahrávky. Tento zásuvný modul je navržen jako sampler a je schopen nahrát zvukový soubor obsahující audio data, která dále využívá pro další zpracování a následné přehrávání. Z vyhodnocení uživatelského testování vyplývá, že je tato aplikace použitelná pro hudební produkci jako nástroj pro granulární syntézu.

Effect of microstructure on mechanisms of plastic deformation in fine-grained magnesium alloys
Minárik, Peter
In this work were studied effects of the grain refinement on the mechanical properties and the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys potential for medical applications - AE21 and AE42. Mechanical properties changed after ECAP pressing in consistency with literature data. Enhanced corrosion resistance in AE42 alloy was achieved by the grain refinement. Corrosion layer created on the surface was observed by light and electron microscopy. Effect of the grain size on the character of the corrosion layer was investigated. AE42 alloy is suitable for further investigation as potential biodegradable material. AE21 alloy was excluded from further investigation due to low corrosion resistance even after ECAP treatment.

Recovery and recrystallization of austenitic steel 08Cr18Ni10T
Čech, Jan ; Gregor, Martin (referee) ; Foret, Rudolf (advisor)
This thesis deals with influences of graded deformations, temperatures and holding times on the grains and subgrains size in steel 08Cr18Ni10T. In literary part of the thesis there are described static and dynamic annealing treatments, then also austenitic stainless steels and some selected types of their processing. In experimental part there is studied grain size on differently deformed samples annealed in temperature range 1050–1200 °C for 10, 50 and 100 minutes. Analysis of present structures units was perform by EBSD. Except of that, there were realized chemical analysis of selected inclusions and also hardness test were realised. Achieved measurement shown, that grain size of chosen steel is depended on all 3 variable values.

Determination of stability of fuel feeding into boiler
Skalický, Michal ; Chýlek, Radomír (referee) ; Lisý, Martin (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the determination of stability of fuel feeding into boiler. The principle of the screw conveyor is described at the beginning of the thesis. It is followed by a description of the individual parts of the worm. The second part of the research deals with the properties of the materials transported. The second half of the bachelor thesis is practical. In this section there are experimentally measured values of flow of sawdust and wood chips. At the end, the measured values are compared and evaluated.

Methods to increase the visibility of the original austenite grain boundaries in steels
Gamanov, Štěpán ; Klakurková, Lenka (referee) ; Juliš, Martin (advisor)
This thesis deals with methods of revealing prior austenite grains in steels. The objective was to describe and demonstrate these basic methods on samples. The theoretical part deals with the importance of austenite grain and its size, with description of base methods of revealing austenite grains, and with methods of determination of grain size. The practical part consists of pictures and commentary of samples wich were made with some of the base methods described in the theoretical part. Conclusion consists of comparison of our and external results and also expanding commentary on individual methods.

Efektivnost produkce vybraných polních plodin v ekologickém a konvenčním zemědělství
KOTAŠKA, Vladimír
This bachelor thesis compares grain production efficiency in conventional and organic agricultural settings. The testing objects are wheat, barley, and rye. In the practical section of this work, the gained data are analyzed from the perspective of revenue, cost, and price from the years 2010 to 2015. From the research outcome the organic agriculture can ensure only about one half of the conventional agricultural production; on the other side, the price reaches 1.5 times higher values in the organic produced crops. The cost structure is different. Material cost appears higher under the conventional conditions. Manual labor and machinery use increase under the organic circumstances. Conventional agriculture shows more beneficial in reflection of the contribution margin and return on cost (ROC) calculations. However, when production subsidies are incorporated, organic agricultural production reaches more favorable economical results.

Compactibility of the materials for subgrade
Kolbábek, Jiří ; Varaus, Michal (referee) ; Stehlík, Dušan (advisor)
This thesis is focused on differences between compaction of fine-grained and coarse-grained soils. It presents selected compaction methods and it describes their principles and implementation procedures. In the practical part is performed classification of both types of soils and then samples are compacted by three methods. The result of this work is to compare the effects of compaction on fine-grained and coarse-grained soil.
