Effective Utilization of Municipal Solid Waste in Heat and Power Systems
Ferdan, Tomáš ; Bébar, Ladislav (referee) ; Ucekaj, Vladimír (referee) ; Stehlík, Petr (advisor)
This work focuses on effective utilization of municipal solid waste in heat and power systems. The effectivity in this work is evaluated from an economic as well as an environmental viewpoint. In the introductory part a review of legislation and state-of-the art in the fields of energetics and waste management of European Union is presented. Next an optimization tool NERUDA, created on the author’s workplace, is introduced. NERUDA consists of basic modules on which creation has the author been participating. The thesis is divided into two main parts that describe two NERUDA’s modules. First deals with a techno-economic model of waste-to-energy plants and is called Flexi model. The main output is a dependency of gate fee on capacity. Second part is devoted to the implementation of new module into the NERUDA system. This module is an environmental criterion for evaluation of the effectivity of waste utilization in the waste management and energetics.

The use of molecular markers for the study of the impact of global change on fungal communities
Faltysová, Julie ; Baldrian, Petr (advisor) ; Koukol, Ondřej (referee)
Fungi are an essential part of life on Earth. Besides their main role in decomposition of organic matter, they belong among key symbiotic organisms and they take part in providing a range of ecosystem processes important for humankind such as primary production and with that related food availability or soil water regulation. For the study of fungal distribution, we often use a method called DNA metabarcoding which combines the use of specific molecular markers, most commonly universal fungal ITS, and high-throughput sequencing. The importance of the method has been rising in the current time of changing environment and it has helped us observe changes in fungal communities due to global change. It seems that primarily various climatic factors such as warming, changes in rainfall patterns and nitrogen deposition have strongly influenced community and fungal guilds composition. Consequently, these changes may potentially have an impact on ecosystem functioning so that their overall balance can be in threat. Key words: molecular markers, DNA metabarcoding, fungal community, warming, climate change, nitrogen deposition
