In order to understand the thermal properties of the rock, it is necessary to apply a suitable method to the sample ensuring the most accurate result. We obtain information about thermal properties by measuring thermal ...

This thesis is focused on developing simulation of Ostwald ripening. Ostwald ripening is a static process (stress is not applied), which essentially changes the texture of rocks. This process causes a redistribution of ...

Iron is limiting the growth of phytoplankton in 30% of the world's oceans. Organisms living in these HNLC (High Nutrient Low Chlorophyll) areas have developed a number of strategies to cope with this stress. These adaptations ...

Mitochondria play a crucial role in cells by regulating the homeostasis of calcium ions, which are essential for a range of cellular processes such as energy production, intracellular signalling, and apoptosis. However, ...

Schizophrenic disorders are typicall for distortion of perception and thinking. The bearing source of these deformations is not uniform and due to the complexity of the processes associated with the disease, the causes are ...

The aim of this diploma thesis was to study and evaluate the relationships between body parameters, such as height and weight, and facial morphology based on 3D facial scans. The study included a total of 115 individuals, ...

One of the main threats in today's world is human-accelerated global climate change, which has serious consequences in several areas, including social cohesion. A potential solution is the implementation of sustainable ...

The bachelor thesis deals with spatial distribution of the decarbonisation of family houses in the Czech Republic granted from the New Green Savings subsidy scheme. We compared at first the spatial distribution of applications ...

The Bachelor thesis describes the synthesis of N-2-((diphenylphosphino)phenyl)picolinamide via the condensation reaction of picolinic acid with 2-(diphenylphosphino)aniline. The coordination behaviour of this compound was ...

This work focuses on the determination of elemental content in human hair samples. The hair was decomposed in concentrated HNO3 by microwave digestion. The contents of Na, Mg, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Se and Sr were determined ...

The subject of the present bachelor thesis was the development of a new method for the determination of the electrochemically active drug nifedipine using DC voltammetric (DCV) and differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) ...

This thesis explores the synthesis of thermoresponsive polymers using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), a controlled polymerization technique that allows for a high degree of control over molecular weight, ...

Fermented nettles are a rich blend of nutrients, essential elements and microorganisms that have traditionally been used to increase the growth, resistance and yield of garden crops. The present study focuses on the ...

This work focused on optimizing the determination of the pesticide chlortoluron using HPLC with coulometric detection on carbon nanotube working electrode. The results obtained from two different electrochemical measurement ...

This thesis investigates the behavior of three polyelectrolytes derived from a common precursor, polyisoprene: poly((sulfamate-carboxylate)isoprene), poly((amino-carboxylate) isoprene), and poly((trimethylammonium-carbox ...

This bachelor thesis is focused on the topic of determination of phosphates using ion-selective electrodes (ISE). Phosphates are essential for plants and animals. Phosphates get from fields to water where they cause the ...

Adhesion signalling plays a key role in biological processes, including the formation of immunological synapses that are important for efficient interaction between effector and target cells of the immune system. Disturbances ...

Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds, which are abundant in nature and demonstrate a range of biological effects. Included in this thesis is a brief summary of the effects of flavonoids a description of their typical ...

This thesis explores the novel concept of trained immunity, a recently recognized form of innate immune memory, with a particular focus on the role of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Traditionally, ...

The adaptor protein STING plays an essential role in innate immune system signalling. This transmembrane protein is anchored in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. The STING protein is expressed in the cells of the ...

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) is an enzyme catalysing conversion of oxaloacetate into phosphoenolpyruvate. There are two PEPCK isoforms, PEPCK-C and PEPCK-M, of which PEPCK-C is better known for its function ...

Bartonella spp. are gram-negative facultative intracellular bacteria belonging to the family Bartonellaceae. Many species of bartonellae commonly circulate among animals, but some species can also cause disease in humans, ...

The origin of hirudotherapy is dated to ancient times, when the use of leeches replaced other methods of blood-letting. In the 19th century there was a significant increase in the use of leeches, mostly in France and in ...

Mitochondrial dynamics help to fulfil specific needs of various cell types. The existence of three functionally and morphologically distinct adipose tissue types suggests that each of these types possess unique mitochondrial ...

This bachelor thesis addresses antagonism of Rho and Rac signaling in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton during cell migration. Rho and Rac are small GTPases, which are signaling proteins that regulate and control ...

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are among the novel imunotherapeutic strategies for oncological patients. ICI are a form of monoclonal antibodies, that bind to regulatory molecules present within the tumor microenvironment ...

The protein STING (Stimulator of interferon genes) is an important part of the signaling pathway for the activation of the innate immune response. It is an adapter protein to which certain DNA sensors such as cGAS or IFIX ...

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a lactic acid bacterium that is a commensal of the human upper respiratory tract. This opportunistic pathogen is able to survive in different niches of the host, mainly due to the great variability ...

Wildfires are increasing in frequency and severity at an unprecedented rate due to climate change, affecting ecosystems worldwide. Soil fungi and bacteria are critical for post-fire plant regeneration and nutrient cycling, ...
