FROM EAST TO WEST: RELATIONS, COLLISIONS, AND DIVERGENCE OF CZECH AND JAPANESE CULTURE
Vaculík, David ; Čapková, Helena (referee) ; Mitášová, Monika (advisor)
The diploma thesis follows up the pre-diploma research dealing with the investigation of selected literature on Japanese traditional and modern architecture and gardens, archival research of extant 20th century buildings in Czech republic influenced by Czech-Japanese relations and the contemporary perception of Japan in the eyes of the Czech professional and uninitiated audience. It also includes a selective glossary of Japanese words and terms, containing study translations from English of selected architectural literature related to the topic. The output took the form of a Discovery Book with a short glossary, pictorial data and an anthology of translated texts. The thesis follows this preliminary "introductory research" with two main parts. The first part (A) explores concepts of space-making and spatial elements deeply rooted in Japanese traditional buildings as they were rediscovered and rethought, particularly by 20th century Japanese architects – who continued to use and revive these concepts in their own work. The text traces their understanding of Japanese traditional architecture. Then, using the example of three Japanese traditional spatial "icons", four works by 20th century Japanese architects, and three works by Czech architects in different phases of the 20th century, the thesis probes the relationship between these two architectural cultures in a European context. The second part (B) consists of texts on the architectural designing of model, utopian housing. The whole design follows a narrative – a scenario that shapes a temporal and spatial sequence that is not in line with the classical perception of time and space but spirals upwards. The next subsection interprets this story into spatio-temporal gradients and elements. Parts C and D contain conclusions and literature used. Model buildings are proposed on a range of scales: the smallest dwelling (a capsule), minimal dwelling, community dwelling, house, villa, city, and a coffin. The composition of the different scenarios and structures respects the movement along a spiral, where we can also observe the cyclical nature of life itself, which ends with the last terminal phase that escapes the gradient of scales – the coffin. These individual proposals are inspired by the studied phenomena and elements, texts and buildings of Japanese and European architecture with their interrelationships. The aim of this thesis is first to study the spatial, temporal, but also light and colour possibilities of Japanese traditional and modern architecture in the context of European, especially Czech, ones. Another aim is to propose a model-based, utopian housing project with a gradient layering of spaces, structures, materials, views and lighting based on various game strategies as well as the maxims of “Form follows fiction”.

Design of protection against lightning and data distributions photovoltaic plant
Manduch, Viliam ; Bátora, Branislav (referee) ; Radil, Lukáš (advisor)
This thesis deals with the problems associated with the lightning. It deals with the stablishment, descriptions and analyzes of risk the living organisms and objects are facing. The work focuses on the description and implementation of protection against these adverse effects. Its objective is to devise a system for lightning protection for chosen PV power plant to meet the requirements of standard of EN 62305. The work is also the analysis of shadow effects in the collecting system for PV power systems.

Tor Network Simulators: Comparison and Usability
Medek, Petr ; Grégr, Matěj (referee) ; Polčák, Libor (advisor)
This thesis talks about simulations of Tor network through simulators Shadow and Tor Path Simulator. As a part of the thesis was created web application using Tor Path Simulator that demonstrates principles of Tor network operation and attacks on it. Created application will run simulations according to parameters input by user and results will be shown using graphs and tables. Application was used as a basis for teaching materials. In my thesis I also focus on Shadow simulator and its usage.

In Space
Blatná, Hana ; Vítková, Lenka (referee) ; Klímová, Barbora (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis is a series of fourteen drawings created exclusively using graphite. The drawings reflect a subjective view of the universe, inspired by archaic interpretations of planets and universe solids, conspiracy theories, black and white images of textures, surfaces, rocks and meteorites captured by modern technology. The drawings are an attempt to express hidden inner motives, personal mythology, the energy of the landscape, the relationship to nature. The paper is a parallel to the sky, a projection surface on which dreamy cosmic landscapes penetrate in imprints, geometric shapes and using perspective.

Moving Objects Detection in Video Sequences
Hochman, Zdeněk ; Juránek, Roman (referee) ; Španěl, Michal (advisor)
This thesis deals with moving objects detection in video sequences. The principal aim of such detection is to detect and locate motion in the image, separate individual objects, and track these objects. Subsequently, to eliminate shadows, the paper introduces method of motion detection based on Local Binary Patterns together with differential method above the HSV color space. The proposed method provides rapid and accurate movement detection in video sequences.

Comparison of Shadow Methods
Kiss, Marcel ; Milet, Tomáš (referee) ; Tóth, Michal (advisor)
This thesis talks about comparison of shadow casting techniques within a scene. In the theoretical part, it describes and compares possible solutions of shadow casting and more detailed about Shadow Mapping and Shadow Volumes, which are among the most commonly used real-time shadowing techniques. The main part is about design and implementation of these two shadow methods using the OpenGL library. In the measurement part it compares methods based on measured values. The outcome of my measurements can be found in the final part of my thesis.

Scene Rendering in Modern Computer Games
Wilczák, Martin ; Šolony, Marek (referee) ; Kajan, Rudolf (advisor)
This thesis describes methods for lighting calculations of large scenes used in modern computer games. Forward shading and deferred shading methods are discussed and compared. Capabilities of raytracing are shortly described. There are some information about various methods for casting shadows, simulation of particle systems and applying post-processing effects. In the end there is a design of architecture for rendering complex scenes with use of XNA and description of implementation used in resulting game.

Návrh svietidla z umelého kameňa LG Hi-Macs
Harňáková, Barbora
In the process of creating a bachelor's thesis, a column lamp with possible variations was designed from LG Hi-Macs artificial stone. The work consists of two main parts, namely the theoretical and practical parts. In the first part, the material used, its development, technological processing and surface treatments are discussed today. It also includes the development of the design of lamps and light sources. The second part is already about the concrete, final design of the lamp, about the thought processes that gave rise to the ideal shape of the lamp. It lists all the necessary details related to the production of the final model as well as prototypes in which deficiencies were found.
