Background: Vertebral fixation by pedicle screw placement is the most frequently applied fixation technique in spinal surgery. In this retrospective study we present a comparison of manual and computer-assisted preoperative planning of pedicle screw placement in three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) images of deformities in the thoracic spine.Methods: Manual planning of the pedicle screw size and trajectory was performed by two orthopedic surgeons using a dedicated software for preoperative planning of surgical procedures, while computer-assisted planning was performed by automated image processing and analysis techniques through the optimization of screw fastening strength. The size (diameter and length) and trajectory (pedicle crossing point, inclination in the sagittal plane, inclination in the axial plane) were obtained for 316 pedicle screws from 3D CT images of 17 patients with thoracic spinal deformities.Results: the analysis of pedicle screw parameters, obtained by two manual and one computer-assisted planning, indicated a statistically significant difference in the screw size (p < 0.05) and trajectory (p < 0.001). Computer-assisted planning proposed wider (p < 0.05) and longer (p < 0.001) screws with a higher (p < 0.001) normalized fastening strength.Conclusions: The comparison revealed consistency between manual and computer-assisted planning of the pedicle screw size and trajectory, except for the screw inclination in the sagittal plane, as manual planning followed more the straight-forward while computer-assisted planning followed more the anatomical insertion technique. While being faster, more repeatable and more reliable than manual planning, computer-assisted planning was also linked with a higher screw fastening strength and consequently a higher screw pull-out strength.

Thesis deals with the compatibility of vehicles in a frontal collision. The first section discusses about compatibility from different views. There are the physical processes used in the mechanics of impact. The second part is focused on solving the compatibility of vehicles in a frontal collision by crash analysis using the finite element method. Firstly there are described collisions of vehicles from different vehicle classes (small cars, lower middle class, Pick up / SUV) into the fixed barrier by the US NCAP. Furthermore there are simulated head-on collisions of vehicles from different vehicle classes. In the end there is shown the possibility of using data from crash tests to determine the EES.

This master thesis is engaged in problematics of creation and compensation of geometric distortions in 1D agarose electrophoresis. This master thesis analyze the problematics of cause of these distortions and summarize the theory needed for compensation of these distortions. Based on acquired theory and created electrophoretic phantoms, the master thesis contains several suggestions for compensation of incurred distortions. These suggestions are recreated into functions, which are connected into a functional user interface for gel image analysis and geometric distortions compensation.

Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradci Králové Department of: Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Consultant: Mgr. Pavel Ondrejček, Ph.D. Student: Nikola Marcinková Title of Thesis: The influence of the die size on the compaction process This diploma thesis is focused on exploration the influence of the die size on the compaction process. That was evaluated by parameters of three-exponential equation. Compressibility was studied by using force-displacement record. In this work was also observed an effect of die size on the tensile strength. In processing the experimental part of this work were used four different model materials. Microcrystalline cellulose and dicalcium phosphate are used as model fillers and theophylline and paracetamol as model active substances. Compaction of these materials was carried out in dies of size 7 mm, 9 mm, 11 mm, 13 mm and 15 mm. The results of the work showed that the die size significantly affects all parameters force-displacement record. With the growing size of the die there was a reduction of energy parameters. Most of the compaction parameters were statistically influenced. Increasing die size caused reducing volume reduction and energy consumption and increased speed of volume reduction at the stage of pre- compression and elastic...

Title: Study of cooperative dislocation phenomena in solids by the acoustic emis- sion technique Author: Michal KNAPEK Department: Department of Physics of Materials Supervisor: doc. RNDr. František Chmelík, CSc., Department of Physics of Materials Abstract: Plastic deformation of micron-scale crystalline materials differs con- siderably from bulk specimens, as it is characterized by random strain bursts. Three categories of metallic samples were investigated in this thesis: micron- scale copper micropillars with varied geometries, submillimeter-scale aluminum microwires, and aluminum and aluminum-magnesium salt-replicated foams. Very precise fabrication methods and sensitive measurement set-ups consisting of uni- axial compression and tensile tests with concurrent acoustic emission (AE) record- ing were developed. These fine methods allowed for investigations of effects re- lated to plastic deformation at micrometer scales, i.e. the dislocation dynamics associated with the stress drops. Size effects in plastic deformation, as well as clear correlations between the stress drops and the AE events, were found in mi- crosamples, confirming that dislocation avalanches are indeed responsible for the stochastic character of deformation processes also at microscales. Open-cell pure aluminum and aluminum-magnesium...
