Options for Regeneration and Rehabilitation in a Sport Club
Cílem bakalářské práce je zjistit možnosti regenerace a rehabilitace v hokejovém klubu HC Oceláři Třinec a přiblížení ekonomických aspektů regenerace a rehabilitace klubu. Práce je rozdělena na teoretickou část, kde popisuji pojmy týkající se tohoto tématu. V druhé praktické části přenáším teoretické pojmy do praxe. K vypracování práce jsem využil následující výzkumné metody jako rozhovory, pozorování a SWOT analýzu. Konec práce obsahuje shrnutí a návrhy na zlepšení ke kterému jsem došel na základě výzkumných metod. Celkově lze říci, že regenerace a rehabilitace v klubu má velmi vysokou úroveň a málo prostoru na zlepšení.The goal of this bachelor's thesis is to investigate the possibilities for regeneration and rehabilitation within the HC Oceláři Třinec hockey club and to provide insight into the economic aspects of the club's regeneration and rehabilitation. The thesis is divided into two parts: a theoretical section, where relevant concepts are described, and a practical section, where theoretical concepts are applied in practice. To develop this thesis, I utilized various research methods such as interviews, observations, and SWOT analysis. The conclusion of the thesis includes a summary and recommendations for improvement that were derived from the research methods. Overall, it can be concluded that the regeneration and rehabilitation practices within the club are of a very high standard and offer little room for improvement.115 - Katedra managementuvelmi dobř

Dynamic Eccentric Response of a Circular Footing on a Sand Stratum by Physical Modeling
Due to the stress dependent nature of the material properties of soil, it can be difficult to find a comprehensive approximate method that captures all features of the response of a structure or foundation under dynamic loading. For this reason, a fundamental problem in soil-structure interaction was investigated, both experimentally by means of centrifuge modeling, and computationally using boundary element methods. The problem consisted of a circular surface foundation resting on a soil stratum, subjected to random loading applied at a vertically eccentric location on the upper surface of the footing. The experimental data was compared with computational results for two soil material models: A soil with an equivalent homogeneous shear modulus, and a two-zone soil model that more directly accounts for the stress dependence of the soil’s material properties. The two-zone model represents the far-field using a shear modulus that has square root dependence with depth, and a local homogeneous zone directly underneath the footing. Computational and experimental results were also compared with a previous study involving square footings on a soil stratum, having contact pressures equal to the circular footings in this report
Genes and Small RNA Transcripts Exhibit Dosage-Dependent Expression Pattern in Maize Copy-Number Alterations
Copy-number alterations are widespread in animal and plant genomes, but their immediate impact on gene expression is still unclear. In animals, copy-number alterations usually exhibit dosage effects, except for sex chromosomes which tend to be dosage compensated. In plants, genes within small duplications (\u3c100 kb) often exhibit dosage-dependent expression, whereas large duplications (\u3e50 Mb) are more often dosage compensated. However, little or nothing is known about expression in moderately-sized (1–50 Mb) segmental duplications, and about the response of small RNAs to dosage change. Here, we compared maize (Zea mays) plants with two, three, and four doses of a 14.6-Mb segment of chromosome 1 that contains ∼300 genes. Plants containing the duplicated segment exhibit dosage-dependent effects on ear length and flowering time. Transcriptome analyses using GeneChip and RNA-sequencing methods indicate that most expressed genes and unique small RNAs within the duplicated segments exhibit dosage-dependent transcript levels. We conclude that dosage effect is the predominant regulatory response for both genes and unique small RNA transcripts in the segmental dosage series we tested. To our knowledge this is the first analysis of small RNA expression in plant gene dosage variants. Because segmental duplications comprise a significant proportion of eukaryotic genomes, these findings provide important new insight into the regulation of genes and small RNAs in response to dosage changes
Shot noise limited characterization of femtosecond light pulses
Probing the evolution of physical systems at the femto- or attosecond
timescale with light requires accurate characterization of ultrashort optical
pulses. The time profiles of such pulses are usually retrieved by methods
utilizing optical nonlinearities, which require significant signal powers and
operate in a limited spectral
range\cite{Trebino_Review_of_Scientific_Instruments97,Walmsley_Review_09}. We
present a linear self-referencing characterization technique based on time
domain localization of the pulse spectral components, operated in the
single-photon regime. Accurate timing of the spectral slices is achieved with
standard single photon detectors, rendering the technique applicable in any
spectral range from near infrared to deep UV. Using detection electronics with
about ps response, we retrieve the temporal profile of a picowatt pulse
train with fs resolution, setting a new scale of sensitivity in
ultrashort pulse characterization.Comment: Supplementary information contained in raw dat
Fostering Physics Content and Pedagogy Learning by Future Physics Teachers via Student Authored YouTube Video Projects
We describe a curricular innovation for STEM teacher preparation -- the use of video projects in undergraduate and graduate physics courses for future physics teachers at SUNY Buffalo State. US courses were adapted under the guidance of our colleagues’ similar work at Universität zu Köln [1]. Our students prepared end of course short “proof of concept” rough video vignettes of 5-10min addressing both physics content and physics pedagogical topics. YouTube [2] example videos are provided, and insights are shared
