Musk compounds in water biota
Zouhar, Libor ; Stoupalová, Michaela (referee) ; Vávrová, Milada (advisor)
Synthetic musk compounds (MUSK) or synthetic fragrances are organic substances commonly used as fragrant constituents of perfumes, detergents, cosmetics and personal care products. These compounds are discharged after use via domestic wastewater and sewage treatment plants to the aquatic environment. The result is accumulation in the environment and occurrence in a food chain especially of aquatic and marine ecosystems. Synthetic musk compounds are also found in surface water, fish tissues and also in body fluid (blood, urine, milk) and tissues of human body. Quantitative detection and studying properties of these compounds is an important activity because we have low knowledge about their fate in the environment (persistence, bioaccumulation) and toxicity. This diploma thesis is focused on three commonly used synthetic fragrances – tonalide, musk ketone and musk xylene. The base of this study was to perform a method optimisation for the determination of selected compounds in water and water biota (fish). The aim was determination of selected musk compounds in real samples (water, fish) and evaluation of the results. Pressurized solvent extraction (PSE) for fish samples and solid phase microextraction (SPME) for water samples were used for isolation of analytes from samples. The identification and quantification of analytes was carried out by high resolution gas chromatography – mass spectrometry.

Determination of semimetals in selected food samples
Gállová, Eva ; Vitoulová, Eva (referee) ; Diviš, Pavel (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with an optimization technique for the determination of semimetals in selected samples of food, which consists of sample digestion, preconcentration and detection of the elements. Preconcentration is usually chosen because these elements are contained in foods only in trace amounts, which are undetectable for some techniques. This work also made characteristics of semimetals, in terms of their functions in the body, of the occurrence in food and the consequences for the organism on their surplus or shortage. The chosen technique of preconcentration in this work was the preconcentration of titanium dioxide. When optimizing the techniques, however, was unlike the results published in literature, obtained low yield of elements sorbed on titanium dioxide, therefore the samples were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry directly after their mineralization, wet digestion with low temperature. The results of this work indicate that the elements arsenic, boron and selenium are given technique detectable without preconcentration, whilst set germanium content in all samples failed, due to very low concentrations and therefore in these cases would be required preconcentration.

Library for Operations over Finite Automata
Bartůněk, Petr ; Puš, Viktor (referee) ; Kaštil, Jan (advisor)
This work deals with two basic operations over finite automata. Determination of nondeterministic finite automata and minimization of deterministic finite automata. For these two operations I proposed sequential algorithms that are parallelizable. I deal mainly with finding the speedup of SSE instructions, or use the OpenMP library. The trend today is mainly in increasing the number of processors, so I propose parallel algorithms for multiple processors. When searching for the optimal solution, I will be to examine other ways to achieve speedup, for example efficient saving of the data structures in memory.

Determination of propionic acid in bakery products by liquid chromatography
Benkovská, Dagmar ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Kučera, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis deals with the development of high performance liquid chromatography method (HPLC) for the determination of propionic acid in bakery products. This work is resulting from the requirements and conditions of Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority (CAFIA) laboratory in Brno. The theoretical part of the thesis describes properties, production, metabolism, toxicity and preservative effect of propionic acid. Furthermore it is treating about HPLC, validation of some analytical method and methods of propionic acid determination. Experimental part is focused on the propionic acid determination in the major part of available products with this preservative on the Czech market. Propionic acid was extracted from the sample with water, filtered and the filtrate was analyzed directly by HPLC. Separation was performed on a XBridge C18 column (3 x 150 mm, 3,5 µm) with a mobile phase of phosphate buffer (pH adjusted to 2,8) and UV detection at 210 nm. Used method of propionic acid isolation was compared with repeated extraction method, extraction in the mobile phase solution and steam destilation both in commercial samples and in laboratory baked breads with known addition of propionic acid. HPLC with water extraction technique was evaluated as a suitable method for propionic acid determination in bakery products.
