Composting of sewage sludge of small producers
Pumprlová Němcová, Miroslava ; Hynánková,, Eva (referee) ; Kriška-Dunajský, Michal (advisor)
This thesis deals with the composting of sewage sludge and wetland plants biomass wasted from treatment wetlands. The introductory part of this thesis is the literature research of technical information from authors who deal with the topic of sewage sludge and composting. The introductory part provides basic information about the issue compost and composting. The theoretical part of this thesis is followed by the practical part. The practical part is divided into two research projects. The first one is focuses on methodology of building compost from waste materials such as sewage sludge and wetland plants biomass. The second one deals with the testing and usability soil moisture sensors mostly used to monitoring of the compost humidity. The research work is focused on soil moisture sensors calibration. The measurement results will be statistically analyzed and used for further work with soil sensors of compost. Results of the work can serve materials for operators and owners of treatment wetlands. This solution would lead to a significant reduction of operating costs when is considered sludge management.

Horticulture IoT module.
Šimek, M. ; Arm, J.
This paper deals with the measurement of soil parameters and growing conditions. The processes required to continuously monitor and ensure ideal growing conditions are quite time consuming. Therefore, the aim of this work will be to design and implement a module that eliminates the need for human interaction in monitoring important parameters and can be used as a part of a complex autonomous cultivation system. The main requirements of the proposed module include energy self-sufficiency and wireless communication with the master device.

Moisture characteristics of natural sandstone exposures
Slavík, Martin ; Bruthans, Jiří (advisor) ; Tesař, Miroslav (referee) ; Sněhota, Michal (referee)
Moisture in a sandstone body plays a notable role in hydrological, weathering, biological and other processes. Knowledge about presence and movement of moisture within porous medium of natural sandstone exposures is, however, rather limited. Aim of the doctoral thesis was thus to quantify selected moisture characteristics of several natural sandstone exposures in Český ráj (Czech Republic). According to long-term logging, mean annual temperature at studied areas was between 8.5 řC to 11.5 řC, mean annual relative humidity was between 73 % to 85 %. Deforested area was found warmer and drier and amplitude of the values was higher there than at the forested areas. Values of water content (more than 400 measurements) and suction (more than 150 measurements) of the exposures including their spatial-temporal changes were obtained. Mean volumetric water content in zone from the sandstone's surface to 12 cm depth was from 3 % to 10 % and mean suction in depth 2-12 cm was from 2 kPa to more than 130 kPa. Using uranine powder coloring, spatial distribution of moisture near the sandstone's surface was visualized repeatedly for the first time. The coloring divided the surficial area of the sandstone into capillary (wet) and diffusion (dry) zone. The sharp transition between the two zones was represented by...
