Yellow rust protection on the wheat
Hanzalová, Alena ; Bartoš, Pavel
Heavy incidence of yellow rust in the years 2014 and 2015 has proved high deleterious effects of this rust. For this reason this publication deals with yellow rust on wheat. Rusts on wheat cause losses every year. In the years of an epidemic yield can be decreased by more than a half. Epidemics of stem rust and yellow rust occur in irregular intervals. Leaf rust causes damage every year particularly in central and southern part of Moravia. Chemical control limits yield losses, however in the case of heavy rust incidence this control particularly on susceptible cultivars is not sufficient. Repeated chemical treatments increase the costs and are limited by phytosanitary regulations. Economic and ecologic rust control consists in resistance breeding and growing resistant cultivars. Knowledge of virulence in the rust poppulation and suitable sources of resistance are prerequisites for successful resistance breeding. This publication presents a summary of data from literature on the yellow rust on wheat. Data on resistance of the grown cultivars and possibilities of the chemical control are included.

Preparation and characterization of new materials for metathesis and adsorption
Pastva, Jakub ; Čejka, Jiří (advisor) ; Gyepes, Róbert (referee) ; Koubek, Josef (referee)
The main objective of this work was to evidence versatile applications of ordered siliceous mesoporous materials, especially in adsorption and catalysis. For these reasons four mesoporous molecular sieves (SBA-15, SBA-16, MCM-41, and MCM-48) with different structures and textural properties have been chosen. To show the possible application of mesoporous molecular sieves as a CO2 adsorbent, magnesium oxide, and potassium carbonate were incorporated into SBA-15, SBA-16, and MCM-48 silicas. In order to avoid destruction of silica supports, a novel procedure based on the precipitation of magnesium acetate on the silica surface was developed. Subsequent in situ chemical conversion of magnesium acetate provided magnesium oxalate, while magnesium oxide was formed by calcination. To introduce potassium carbonate, silica modified with MgO was impregnated with potassium oxalate followed by its conversion to carbonate. All prepared mesoporous adsorbents preserved characteristic features of mesoporous molecular sieve (large surface areas, narrow pore size distributions). The comparison of carbon dioxide isotherms obtained on prepared samples revealed that their adsorption properties are influenced by the type of mesoporous structure. The SBA-15 silica containing magnesium oxide and promoted by potassium...

Narovec, David ; Sedlák, Josef (referee) ; Osička, Karel (advisor)
This diploma thesis discusses laser cutting and the consecutive surface treatment of cut parts. The theory of laser cutting is described in the first part of this thesis, including laser history and the laser emergence principle. Cut parameters and the influence of the laser cutting on the material are described later on. The next part describes the laser cutting technological possibilities and other laser technology utilization options are outlined. In the last theory part, metal surface treatment used in the experiment is covered. Coating thickness is evaluated in the practical part of this thesis, as well as roughness, microhardness, chemical microanalysis and metalography. The evaluation of the results achieved, and optimal surface treatment execution suggestions are addressed in the last part of this thesis.

The use and effectiveness of colostrum in cosmetics
Bartoňová, Klára ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Němcová, Andrea (advisor)
This thesis deals with efficiency of colostrum contained in cosmetics. The aim of study was to determine whether the colostrum contained in cosmetic preparations have any influence on the state of human skin. The theoretical part is a literary review and it deals with defining the basic concepts and phenomena, especially the colostrum, its composition and properties. There is also discussed the raw materials used for real samples preparation and efficiency evaluated on these samples. There are also described the methods used to evaluate cosmetic products. The practical part is focused on evaluating the influence of hydratation of prepared cosmetic products. The skin hydratation and transepidermal water loss was measured by MPA 5. Consumer tests are attached to this part. Chemical stability of these cosmetics is assessed in a special chapter.

Antipredatory function of flash display in Heteroptera (case of Coreus marginatus)
Pipek, Pavel ; Exnerová, Alice (advisor) ; Kleisner, Karel (referee)
1 Abstract Aim of the present study was to test antipredatory function of fulguration (or flash display), which means sudden exposition of conspicous body part on otherwise cryptic animal during escape. Adult squash bugs (Coreus marginatus; Heteroptera) were used as model prey, while as model predator served two species of passerine birds - blue tit (Cyanistes caerulus) and great tit (Parus major). Three approaches were undertaken. Test of palatability should have assessed the efficiency of squash bug chemical defence against bird predators. Experiment was carried out in experimental cage without interference of experimenter and without occurrence of fulguration. The results show that chemical defense of squash bug is less efficient than defense of other species of true bugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus, Graphosoma lineatum) and that the efficiency differs between two generations of squash bugs. In the test of efficiency of fulguration, the prey was forced by experimenter to fly in response to bird attack. Blue tits attacked the immobile prey more often than the flying and fulgurating one, but the same relation wasn't significant with great tits. The latencies of birds' returns to the bugs that landed after fulguration wasn't influenced by colour of the bugs' abdomen. Third experiment consisted of computer...

Coupling atmospheric chemistry/aerosols to regional climate models
Huszár, Peter ; Halenka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Macoun, Jan (referee) ; Eben, Kryštof (referee)
Title: Coupling atmospheric chemistry/aerosols to regional climate models Author: Peter Huszár Department: Department of Meteorology and Environment Protection Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Tomáš Halenka, CSc. Supervisor's e-mail address: tomas.halenka@mff.cuni.cz Abstract: In this thesis, the connections between air quality and climate are studied. For this purpose, regional climate model RegCM3 and chemistry transport model CAMx has been coupled offline with one- and two-way interaction. Our work represents a first attempt to connect RegCM3 not only with CAMx, but with any other chemistry transport model. As a first step, an offline one way couple of RegCM3 and CAMx has been developed, meaning that the climate model drives the transport, emission, chemical transformation and deposition of species while the radiative feedbacks of gases and aerosols are not considered. A meteorological interface has been developed at our department in order to convert the meteorological data generated by RegCM3 to fields required by CAMx. For those parameters that are essential for CAMx but the regional climate model does not supply them, diagnostic methods were implemented into this interface. Further, it is used to calculate biogenic emissions. Regarding anthropogenic emissions, a simple utility has been developed to...

Geochemical study of processes, relevant to safety assessment of deep geological repository: Uranium forms and enrichment scenario in a sedimentary system at the Ruprechtov natural analogue site
Havlová, Václava ; Jelínek, Emil (advisor) ; Pačes, Tomáš (referee) ; Zeman, Josef (referee)
U migration was studied in order to better understand to processes of safety relevant elements, particularly U. The rock sequence on the site can be analogous to a potential rock overburden of deep geology repositories. A multidisciplinary approach was undertaken in order to identify and characterise U mobilisation/immobilisation processes within sedimentary clayey rocks with organic matter enriched interlayers. Both conventional methods and modern sophisticated spectroscopic methods were combined. Sequential extraction, wet chemical method and even spectroscopic methods proved that U prevailed in the U(IV) form in low-oxidised samples. It moved towards more easily releasable fractions with sample ageing (oxidation). The combination of SE, µ-XRF and µ-XAFS results proved U to be unexpectedly associated with As and P, leading to the presumption that U(VI) from groundwater was reduced to U(IV) on As pyrite. The evaluation of the hydrogeochemical conditions and isotope analyses then brought the results into broader context: Sedimentary organic matter within the sedimentary layers was microbially oxidised, releasing dissolved organic matter and providing H+ in order to dissolve sedimentary inorganic carbonates. SO4 2- could be reduced under reducing groundwater conditions, thus causing FeS2 formation....
