Effect amplifier for electric guitar
Kočiš, Martin ; Brančík, Lubomír (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Tomáš (advisor)
In the first chapter, the thesis concisely describes perception of harmonic frequency components by human ear. The second chapter introduces the reader into purpose of guitar effects and summary of usual types, which is possible to meet on the market. The third chapter contains functional description of chosen effects including designed schematics and simulations of functionality in time and frequency domain, eventually unrealized solution. The device contains input highpass filter with emitter follower, booster, overdrive and clean amplifier, circuit for octave-up frequency shift, delay line, output emitter follower with lowpass filter and power supply for all these circuits. Selection of the effects and its controls was subordinated especially to use in alternative rock music. The design is based on simulations executed using OrCAD PSpice. The realization process and the measurement is described in the fourth chapter and the last chapter contains conclusion of the project.

Tube microphone preamplifier
Čacký, Adam ; Hruboš, Zdeněk (referee) ; Brančík, Lubomír (advisor)
The theme of the master´s thesis is design a microphone preamplifier which uses vacuum tube as a main amplifying element. Part of the work is theoretical assumptions for the optimal design and implementation of peripheral involvement, comparing the properties of components used and the resulting parameters of modeled device. The thesis also includes a proposal of the source unit for supplying all parts of the preamplifier. The results are accompanied by circuit simulations and laboratory measurements of the main parameters of the designed device.

Modification of Vocal Tracks in SW Post-Production of Music
Trkal, Tomáš ; Beran, Vítězslav (referee) ; Černocký, Jan (advisor)
This thesis describes a design and an implementation of a vocal tracks processing application. The application consists of several sub-modules representing audio processors and effects. It is implemented as a plugin created with the VST technology. The plugin provides a simple control system and an integrated database of presets which help mainly less experienced users to significantly speed up the process of processing the vocal tracks. The user evaluation shows that application is successful both in creating demos and professional mixing of music tracks.

Musical multi effects analysis
Masár, Igor ; Kubásek, Radek (referee) ; Friedl, Martin (advisor)
This work deals with guitar effect and guitar sound in general. Most widely used effects are described as well as their output time courses are simulated. There is a comparison of analog and digital effects. There is also explained the principal of guitar multiefects, described all parts of guitar efect chain and determined key parameters, which has the main impact on quality of final sound. It is used to describe a methodology for measuring multi-effects and the results obtained by this measurement. The last part deals with psychoacoustic measurements.

Compensation of geometric distortion of electrophoretic gel image
Dvořáček, Tomáš ; Vítek, Martin (referee) ; Škutková, Helena (advisor)
This master thesis is engaged in problematics of creation and compensation of geometric distortions in 1D agarose electrophoresis. This master thesis analyze the problematics of cause of these distortions and summarize the theory needed for compensation of these distortions. Based on acquired theory and created electrophoretic phantoms, the master thesis contains several suggestions for compensation of incurred distortions. These suggestions are recreated into functions, which are connected into a functional user interface for gel image analysis and geometric distortions compensation.

ECG Signal Distortion Measures
Požár, Pavel ; Kozumplík, Jiří (referee) ; Vítek, Martin (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with electrocardiogram and its distortion, which causes errors, due to which a doctor can make a wrong diagnosis. In the theoretical part electrocardiogram is briefly described, further theory of wavelet transform, introduction to the signal compression and some information about ECG delineation. Methods used for the signal evaluation and therefore determination of the distortion size are described in the main theoretical part. This thesis contains known methods and also a method of own design based on the ECG delineation. Some of the described methods are checked in the practical part. These methods are tested for two different compression algorithms, which cause various distortion. In the final part distortion was tested on the influence on setting the wrong diagnosis.

Measurement of gradient magnetic field decay in MR tomograph
Kubásek, Ondřej ; Kubásek, Radek (referee) ; Bartušek, Karel (advisor)
The objective of my thesis is to measure magnetic field gradient decay in an MR tomograph, process and evaluate the data measured and analyse the issue. The theoretical section focuses on the reasons for the gradient distortion which has a negative impact on NMR measuring techniques and it also describes options to eliminate the negative effects, focusing mainly on pre-emphasis filtration. It also lists methods of gradient magnetic field measuring. The practical section contains results of magnetic field decay measurements taken with the tomograph in the Institute of scientific instruments of the Academy of sciences in Brno using the method of instantaneous frequency with and without pre-emphasis compensation. The data are processed with MAREVISI and MATLAB programmes. MATLAB is used to develop a modern method of filtration to eliminate noise in useful signal leading to more accurate measurements of MR magnetic fields. This filtration uses a method of time-dependent variable thresholds and two-channel filter banks. MATLAB is also used to design a programme for approximation of the measured gradient magnetic field decay. The decay must be approximated in order to obtain time constants and the degree of exponential decay, which serve to set up the pre-emphasis compensation.

Image flow time sampling
Němec, Miroslav ; Kolář, Radim (referee) ; Drastich, Aleš (advisor)
The aim of this Master’s thesis is to develop a theoretical introduction to the issue of the image flow time sampling, taking into account the various factors that affect sampling. Furthermore, there is proposed idea diagram of the model, which will simulate the events described, and created the model in the programming environment Matlab. Finally, there are defined the labs that will support teaching dealing with the imaging systems.

Evaluation of the inquirers in market research
Macura, Milan ; Hebák, Petr (advisor) ; Průšová, Petra (referee)
This Diploma work is focused on evaluation options of quality of inquirer work in marketing research. Assigned task was founding proper indicators, which will help the agencies to assess if and how much the inquirers fulfill the requirements laid on them. First part contains the description of known standards and biases, which occur during marketing research. Bias indicators, which were the main goal to identify and formalize, are described in the second part. These indicators can serve as a guide to expose low quality inquirers. The constituent part of this work is an example of data analysis of real project, where the construction of some of these indicators has been described. This analysis confirmed the assumption that the data analysis should be inseparable part of every marketing research project, because low quality and cheating inquirers can be exposed on its base. Results presentation and suggestions for better checking of the data obtained by the inquirers in the field can help agencies to obtain more quality data and therefore make better and more trustable conclusions of market research projects.
