The possibility of using of Aronia fruit pomace

This diploma thesis deals with possibilities of using of aronia fruit pomace. The theoretical part is focused on botanical characteristics of aronia fruit, description of HPLC and anthocyanins dyes. The effects of various extraction condition on content of some polyphenolic compounds (gallic and vanilla acids, katechin and rutin) in aronia berry pomace are investigated in the experimental part. The mentioned compounds were detected with HPLC. Thanks to this method the content of carbohydrates was also detected. A quantity of anthocyanins dyes was determined by pH differential method

Thermodynamic of Atkinson and Miller cycle

In the bachelor thesis is performed a basic thermodynamic analysis of combustion engines cycles. For every cycle there is also a design for a real combustion engine. Subsequently, the Atkinson and Miller cycles are compared to the ideal Otto cycle with supercharger and without it in terms of thermal efficiency for the same input parameters. The results are evaluated and the use of the Atkinson and Miller cycle in motor vehicles is explained. Next, there are specific car representatives, which use these cycles and the development trends of modern cars

Interrelationships among skeletal age, growth status and motor performances in female athletes 10–15 years

Motor performances of youth are related to growth and maturity status, among other factors. To estimate the contribution of skeletal maturity status per se to the motor performances of female athletes aged 10–15 years and the mediation effects of growth status on the relationships. Skeletal age (TW3 RUS SA), body size, proportions, estimated fat-free mass (FFM), motor performances, training history and participation motivation were assessed in 80 non-skeletally mature female participants in several sports. Hierarchical and regression-based statistical mediation analyses were used. SA per se explained a maximum of 1.8% and 5.8% of the variance in motor performances of athletes aged 10–12 and 13–15 years, respectively, over and above that explained by covariates. Body size, proportions, and hours per week of training and participation motivation explained, respectively, a maximum of 40.7%, 18.8%, and 22.6% of the variance in performances. Mediation analysis indicated specific indirect effects of SA through stature and body mass, alone or in conjunction with FFM on performances. SA per se accounted for small and non-significant amounts of variance in several motor performances of female youth athletes; rather, SA influenced performances indirectly through effects on stature, body mass and estimated FFM.</p
