Study of the thermal insulation effect of thermally reflective insulations
Skříček, Darek ; Vala, Jiří (referee) ; Čermák, Jan (referee) ; Šťastník, Stanislav (advisor)
The dissertation on the topic Study of the thermal insulation effect of thermally reflective insulations is focused on the issue of measuring the thermal resistance R of thermoreflective insulations and determining the most suitable layer with the best thermal insulation properties. By measuring thermoreflective insulations on the Hot-Box measuring chamber, it was proven that higher values of thermal resistance R are always achieved with aluminum foil, which has the highest possible reflection of the radiant component of heat, i.e. the lowest possible emissivity on the surface. For this reason, the reflectance was measured on the Mid-IR Integrat IR ™ measuring apparatus. To study the thermal insulation effect of thermoreflective insulations, ten samples of these insulations with different compositions of aluminum and bubble foils are used to measure the insulation properties. The suitability of using thermoreflective insulation for building insulation was proven by measuring these foils.

Holeček, Dominik ; Skříček, Darek (referee) ; Šťastník, Stanislav (advisor)
The diploma thesis is partly dedicated to energetic efficiency of buildings and describes possibilities how to evaluate energetic efficiency of buildings in the Czech Republic. We also get to know with distribution of thermal insulators by material base and use in construction. There are also mentioned methods how to determine thermal insulations characteristics of heat insulations, so called heat conductivity coefficient. The last and the crucial chapter of theoretic part is dedicated to thermal-reflective insulations. There are mentioned some of the basic characteristics of insulations, material composition and heat transfer mechanism in their structure as well. Practical part describes measurement of thermal resistance of chosen samples of thermal-reflective insulations per measuring device on the principal of Hot Box method. In the next step was determined emissivity of aluminium foils which forms the surface of chosen samples of thermal-reflective insulations. In the end of thesis are defined possibilities of use thermal-reflective insulations in building structures especially in passive and low-energy buildings in climatic conditions of the Czech Republic.

Non-invasive Blood Glucose Measuring
Vítová, Hana ; Chmelař, Milan (referee) ; Sekora, Jiří (advisor)
Goal of my master´s thesis is examination of non-invasive blood glucose measurement methods, and designing of device for non-invasive blood glucose reading. The introductory chapter of thesis contains description of know different methods for blood glucose measurement, mainly Near Infra-Red region (NIR) measurement with spectroscopy methods. This project describes pathology of Diabetes Mellitus, specifies how it is divided, and looks also on human metabolism. The theoretical part contains exploration of blood glucose measurement methods. Thesis continues with system scheme design for non/invasive glucose measurement device, based on present knowledge. Major principle of device is measuring with Infra-Red laser, bifurcate optic fiber and photodiode. Design of printed circuit board is also present. Document contains also designs of software diagrams for calibration and processing program written in C# language. Communication between device and computer is made via USB. Microcontroller with C language program is part of designed device. It is used to send measured values into PC and also receives data from computer. This data determines blood glucose concentration and their thresholds.

Rauchfussová, Karolína ; TROJAN,, Karel (referee) ; Šťastník, Stanislav (advisor)
Presented work deals with the study progressive heat-reflecting foil thermal insulating materials and defines their thermal insulation properties. The work describes a transport mechanism of thermal energy in the structure of heat-reflecting materials, their physical properties, especially heat resistance, compared to the conventional thermal insulating materials available on Czech market. The main applications ways and installation methods of these materials (especially in low-energy and passive buildings) are also shown. The practical part is focused on asembling the measuring device HOT BOX in accordance with the valid standards, to determine the heat resistance of heat-reflecting materials. In next step the measurement of reflection of aluminum foils (an integral part of the structural arrangement heat-reflecting foil insulations) was performed.

Light propagation in magnetic materials
Wagenknecht, David ; Ostatnický, Tomáš (advisor) ; Veis, Martin (referee)
Transparent magnetic materials, among the others semiconductors, have recently come to the focus of interest in both basic and applied research because they have great potential in optical applications and they can be used in optical spectroscopy to investigate fundamental physical phenomena. The theoretical calculations introduce that these materials have some extraordinary properties like asymmetric reflectance when light impact the sample from the opposite angles. In this bachelor thesis, transfer matrix formalism is derived based on Maxwell equations, taking into account special form of effective permittivity. The reflection coefficient for one layer demonstrates, that the asymmetric reflectance appears for transversal- magnetic polarization of light and transversal magnetization in the studied material. The derived formulae are used to calculate the difference in reflectivities for the waves impacting the structure from opposite angles. Ga1−xMnxAs with different concentrations of manganese is assumed to be the essential transparent magnetic layer in the sample. 1

How does the leaf structure determine the leaf optical properties.
Peychlová, Anna ; Lhotáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Tylová, Edita (referee)
An internal leaf structure determines the way the light passes through the leaf and, thus, in this way it affects the use of the light in photosynthesis. The light reaching the leaf can be reflected, absorbed or transmitted. Leaf reflectance properties depend on the wavelength of irradiation and on the physical, structural and chemical properties of a leaf. Thereinafter, this Bachelor thesis briefly describes spectral methods used to study leaf optical properties. Furthermore, the thesis focuses on leaf anatomical structures and their effect on leaf optical properties, mainly in visible region of electromagnetic radiation (400-700 nm) and in near- infra-red region (700-2300 nm). The emphasis is given to the following anatomical properties and structures: epidermis, cuticle, trichomes, mesophyll structure, leaf thickness, chloroplast movement, chlorophyll content and distribution. The aim of the thesis is to summarize current knowledgeon this topic. Key words: leaf anatomy, leaf optical properties, reflectance, intercellular spaces, radiative transfer

UV signs in coloration of common leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius)
Baranová, Veronika ; Frynta, Daniel (advisor) ; Veselý, Petr (referee)
The presence of ultraviolet patterns on body, as well as perception of ultraviolet spectrum by special photoreceptors, is part of sensory ecology of many animal species, including reptiles. Most current research discusses the importance of ultraviolet signs in coloration of diurnal species. The aim of our study was to find out what character have the reflective signs in ultraviolet spectrum in overall coloration of common leopard gecko (Eubplepharis macularius) through a digital photography. The reflective pattern is present in both adults and juveniles and passes as well as the rest of the coloration by significant ontogenetic changes. Another aim was to evaluate the role of ultraviolet reflecting signs in the biology of this crepuscular-nocturnal species. We expect that the pattern contributes to their antipredatory strategies during their first few months of life, and also a white reflecting surface is preserved in adulthood, especially on their tail, which is differently coloured than the rest of the body.
