Posouzení subchronické toxicity směsí pesticidů na raky
HOVORKOVÁ, Anna
Prometryn, belonging to the group of s-triazines, has been extensively used in the case of protection of maize production against broadleaf weeds and grasses. Its use was banned by the EU in 2004. Chloridazone is a pyridazone herbicide used to protect beet production and to control broadleaf weeds. Its properties increase the potential for the transfer of this pesticide to the aquatic environment. Together with its metabolites, it has been detected in groundwater in the Czech Republic. Its use in the Czech Republic has been banned since 2020. The adventitious properties and long-term use of these substances may increase the risk of contamination of non-target ecosystems by the pesticides used and their metabolites, which may form mixtures in this environment and thus have an even riskier impact on the environment. The aim of this work was to assess the subchronic toxicity of the pesticide mixture formed of the concentrations of these pesticides on the signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) in comparison with the control and pesticides tested alone. A subchronic toxicity test of 20 days duration followed by 10 days depuration was used to obtain the results. The criteria evaluating the toxicity of the mixture were the biochemical profile of haemolymph, oxidative stress level and antioxidant enzyme activity from hepatopancreas, muscle and gill samples. The biochemical profile of haemolymph was significantly affected in individuals tested in the pesticide mixture. For biomarkers altered due to the mixture, suppression of the effect of prometryn in the mixture was observed in some cases. The analysis of antioxidant biomarkers did not show a higher toxicity of the mixture over the pesticides tested alone. In the case of antioxidants, a greater effect was observed for prometryn tested alone, where in some cases its presence in the mixture suppressed the effects of chloridazon in the mixture.

Evaluation of ecotoxicity of selected chemicals with using algal test.
Kosárová, Hedvika ; Pavlovský, Jiří (referee) ; Doležalová Weissmannová, Helena (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the ecotoxicity of 2 - [(2,6-dichlorophenyl)aniline] benzene acetic acid (diclofenac), ?-methyl-4-(2-methylpropyl) benzene acetic acid (ibuprofen) and mixture of cadmium and diclofenac and studies the above using algal toxicity test in accordance with ISO 8692. The theoretical part describes the issue of pharmaceuticals in the environment, and characteristics of standards algae tests and alternative tests. Freshwater green algae Desmodesmus subspicatus were used as testing organisms in all the implemented algal toxicity tests. By the means of these tests, the IrC50 values for the standard substance potassium dichromate, the drugs diclofenac and ibuprofen and cadmium were determined. The toxicity of cadmium in mixture with diclofenac was also evaluated.

Nonconventional Utilisation of Wind Energy
Zajíc, Josef ; Turek, Vojtěch (referee) ; Jícha, Jaroslav (advisor)
The thesis considers utilization of the wind energy as source of energy for the production of hydrogen. In the first part, there is described the types of wind engine specialized especially on screw wind engines and their construction. After that follows the description of dilemmas usage of electric energy addicted in time and with it connected problems with accumulation elektricity by the help of various methods. The final part of the thesis is than addicted to statistic evaluation of wind conditions, description and suggestion of the equipment hydrogen management.

Continual double-helicoidal mixer
Černý, Jan ; Malach, František (referee) ; Malášek, Jiří (advisor)
This work focuses on the process of mixing particulate materials and the design of the screw mixer for this activity. The theoretical part describes the mixing and properties of particulate matter. Subsequently, individual devices serving for different types of mixing are analyzed. The practical part contains calculations of the main dimensions and the required power consumption. The choice of suitable drive, bearings and gear is followed. Finally, the analysis of the blade shaft load and the strength analysis of the mixer blade using Autodesk Inventor are performed. Part of this work is enclosed drawing documentation of equipment assembly and selected partial components.

Particle separation from fluid flow
Fejta, Vojtěch ; Urban, Ondřej (referee) ; Štigler, Jaroslav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the particle separation from fluid flow. The aim of this thesis is to get acquainted with the already existing methods of separation, to study their principles and to describe devices designed for particle separation. The thesis is divided into two main units, the first explains the individual methods of separation, the second describes the specific particle separators, their advantages and disadvantages. The final part of the thesis is devoted to the design of another approach to separation.

Hydrodynamic mixing of water-ask mixture in vessel
Holub, Přemysl ; Franc, Zdeněk (referee) ; Habán, Vladimír (advisor)
Master´s thesis Hydrodynamic mixing of water-ash mixture in vessel is interested in describing fluid and solid particles flow in a vessel. The mixing was conducted in cylindrical vessel by a radial nozzle. The goal of the thesis is to describe flow field and places where the most of the particles are descending according to position, depth, flow rate and nozzle orientation in the vessel. An experiment was conducted in order to investigate and document 8 different positions and orientation of the nozzle. Significant changes in flow fields and mixing time were observed. A mathematical model of the vessel with the nozzle was created in Fluent program. Places with the lowest velocities according to the model were in good agreement with places where the most of the solid particles were descending.
