Semi-adaptive PPM Compression
Kumičák, Pavol ; Dvořák, Tomáš (referee) ; Lánský, Jan (advisor)
This thesis explores modi cation possibilities of adaptive PPM algorithm to its semiadaptive version and testify its aplicability for compression purposes. In adaptive PPM algorithm we create tree with speci ed depth based on symbols encoded so far. By using this tree we are able to predict probability of occurence of next symbol, which is consequently encoded using this probability. In semiadaptive PPM algorithm we create unbounded tree. From the tree, it is possible to decode the original input string; hands, the tree is the output of the algorithm. Afterwards, we can encode the tree into the le and compress this le using an appropriate compression algorithm. The goal of the thesis is to develop an algorithm for creating the unbounded tree used in semiadaptive PPM and to testify its aplicability by implementing and testing it.

Allusion in selected pieces of modern Russian authors
Gaponenkova, Julia ; Hlaváček, Antonín (advisor) ; Hříbková, Radka (referee)
The thesis is dedicated to the question of literary allusion in selected works of modern Russian writers. In the first part of the thesis the author explores the concept of allusion from the theoretical point of view. She defines and characterizes allusion, specifies basic notions, i.e. presupposition, denotator, and marker. The process of "encoding - perceiving - decoding" is also taken into consideration. The author describes various stages of mental processes of a writer while creating an allusion and of a reader while perceiving and understanding it. Literary allusions are classified into 10 main groups according to their themes. Allusion is explored from the practical point of view by analyzing such literary works as The holy book of the werewolf by Viktor Pelevin, Russian beauty by Viktor Jerofejev and Grandparents by Dmitry Lipskerov. In order to deeply understand the writers' creative work, the author presents several biographical facts.

The process of compilation and accepting of the civil code during the Meiji period
Kraus, Jan ; Sýkora, Jan (referee) ; Labus, David (advisor)
This work concerns itselť with o ne oť the aspects oť the modernization oť Japan during the Meiji Era (1868-1912), the establishment oť a Civil Code based on western lega! princip les, in a broad context oť the historical and socio-political situation of the said period. First, it explores the state oť lega! knowledge in Japan at the end of the previous historical period, the Tokugawa Era. As a result of the development during the centuries prior to that, it may be said that the Japanese view oť law became to be such that the law was overshadowed by the traditional pattern oť a rigid social structure, preferring over law the mutual relations among the people living in such a system. Being ťorced to cancel her isolation policy by an extensive outside pressure ťrom the worlďs powers, Japan starts to strive for a general modernization. The s o called U nequal treaties established in the last years of the rule oť the Tokugawa shogunate between Japan and several countries set it to an inferior position, and this situation continued unchanged in the ťollowing Meiji period. One of the prerequisites for the revision of these treaties was the establishment of a western-like lega! system with the Civil Code as one oť the important Codes of Law. However, the principles on which the Japanese and the western lega!...

Development of the Czech form of the Patterns of Adaptive Learning Scales (PALS)
KOVÁČOVÁ, Klára
The undergraduate thesis explores validity of genuine Czech translation of PALS questionnaire in Czech environment. This method is built on Carol Dweck?s goal theory, which is described in theoretical part, also with basic background in the field of educational motivation. Research was conducted on the sample of 549 pupils in 8th and 9th grade and their results were compared with original research of Carol Midgley et al. (2000). Factor analysis and reliability analysis was done on used scales and it is obvious that simplification and language modification of items is needed, but still it appears from the results that this method distinguish goals correctly in Czech environment and it can be put into practice after further research.

Differentiation of yeast colonies and development of new approaches to monitor oxygen and nutrient availability
Vopálenská, Irena ; Janderová, Blanka (advisor) ; Demnerová, Kateřina (referee) ; Pichová, Iva (referee)
Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as an unicellular organism is one of the best-studied experimental organisms. It is an important model organism for the study of intracellular processes of eukaryotic cells. Yeasts are also social organisms with cell-to-cell communication able to form organized multicellular structures (colonies and biofilms). Yeast and other microorganisms in nature prefer to form colonies on solid substrates rather than to grow as "planktonic" single cells (Palková, 2004; Wimpenny, 2009). The yeast S. cerevisiae typically forms colonies, biofilms were described only rarely. Yeast colonies exhibit an organized morphological pattern characteristic of each particular yeast strain (Kocková-Kratochvílová, 1982). This work is focusing on morphology and differentiation of the S. cerevisiae colonies of common laboratory strains forming less structured colonies, and strains of the Σ1278b genetic background forming highly structured "fluffy" colonies. It shows that polarized budding pattern and especially cell ability to form aggregates enable development of structured morphology. During development of "fluffy" colonies two differently regulated events of dimorphic switch from yeast form to filamentous growth occur. One of these events is dependent on the surface glycoprotein, Flo11p flocculin. This...

New Urbanism – the movement in USA
Moučka, Jan
New Urbanism (Nový urbanismus) je hnutí navazující na hnutí Urban Design (urbánní navrhování), které je anotováno v rámci tohoto dokumentu. Obě hnutí mají řadu společných dílčích cílů, ale liší se ve způsobu jakým k nim dojít: Již mnoho desítiletí existující hnutí Urban Design působí spíše zvyšováním povědomí a znalostí o kulturních, zejm. estetických aspektech tvorby měst a osídlení. Naproti tomu hnutí New Urbanism bylo vyprovokováno potřebou nové koncepce návrhu změn a zásahů do stavu obcí a osídlení po nepokojích v Newarku v 80tých letech 20. století. New Urbanism chce reformovat mnoho aspektů územního plánování a využití území zástavbou, a v mnoha směrech je úspěšné: Přispěla k tomu spolupráce s agenturami, které pro rozvoj sídel a osídlení v USA vznikly a působí i jinde ve světě, stejně jako vstřebání výsledku některých jiných vlivů, jak ukazuje i diagram souvislostí hnutí New Urbanism, diskutovaný v úvodu této studie. New Urbanism se například nezříká principů proklamovaných hnutím TND (Traditional Neighborhood Design), využívá zpětné vazby z poradenských organizací jako je SmartGrowth nebo Urban Land Institute. Na okraji hnutí New Urbanism se připojují někdy i výstřední subjekty a názory, jak je ve 21. století v každé mediálně zajímavé oblasti časté - ať již to jsou až dogmatická pojetí TND (viz např. v Austinu, kde vyšel předpis jak projektovat TND distrikty, nebo neokonservativní nákresy k TND okrskům). Vznikají terminologické obtíže a nejasnosti (viz např. neostrý termín Mixed-Uses) vyplývající z nevyzrálosti teorií zúčastněných disciplin, zejm. také urbanismu a architektury. Charta hnutí New Urbanism podporuje restrukturaci veřejné politiky i praktik výstavby, tak aby podporovaly následující principy: - obytné okrsky měst a obcí mají být různorodé ve způsobech užívání a v obyvatelstvu, - obce mají být navrhovány pro pěší i pro automobilní dopravu, - velká i menší města mají být fysicky utvářena jasně definovanými a bezbariérovými veřejnými prostory a objekty institucí obce. Urbánní prostory mají být rámovány architekturou a krajinným řešením, které oslavují místní historii, podnebí, ekologii a stavební praxi. Noví urbanisté podporují regionální plánování vytvářející otevřený prostor, architekturu v souladu s kontextem okolí, i vyvážený rozvoj práce a bydlení. Noví urbanisté věří, že jejich strategie může omezit zahlcování dopravy, zvýšit produkci dostupných bytů a opanovat rozptyl zástavby do krajiny. New Urbanism se také zabývá tématy jako je ochrana památek, bezpečnost ulic, zelené stavění, nové využití "brownfield" - opuštěných pozemků.
