Design of production technology of specified component for conditions of workshop at IME FME Brno university of technology

Diplomová práce se zabývá návrhem a realizací technologie výroby součásti zadané firmou Frentech Aerospace s.r.o. pro podmínky dílny ÚST FSI VUT v Brně (laboratoře C2). Získaných poznatků je využito k návrhu inovované technologie výroby s využitím nástrojů firmy Pramet Tools, s.r.o. Technologie výroby součásti pro dílnu ÚST jsou zpracovány pro duralový materiál EN AW 6082. Součástí práce je technicko-ekonomické zhodnocení všech popsaných technologií výroby. Oba technologické postupy navržené pro podmínky laboratoře C2 jsou zhodnoceny společně a technologický postup firmy Frentech Aerospace s.r.o. je zhodnocen odděleně z důvodu zpracování technologie pro odlišný materiál polotovaru.Diploma thesis deals with design and implementation of manufacturing technology of a part which was given by company Frentech Aerospace s.r.o. Manufacturing technology is prepared for conditions of workshop of Department of Machining FME Brno UT (laboratory C2). Acquired knowledges are used for design of innovative manufacturing technology with cutting tools from company Pramet Tools, s.r.o. Manufacturing technologies of gained part are designed for alloy blank EN AW 6082. Technical-economical assessment of all manufacturing technologies is part of this thesis. Both of manufacturing technologies designed for laboratory C2 are assessed together and manufacturing technology given by company Frentech Aerospace s.r.o. is assessed alone due to using different blank material.

Computation and analysis of atmospheric carbon dioxide annual mean growth rates from satellite observations during 2003-2016

The growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) reflects the net effect of emissions and uptake resulting from anthropogenic and natural carbon sources and sinks. Annual mean CO2 growth rates have been determined from satellite retrievals of column-averaged dry-air mole fractions of CO2, i.e. XCO2, for the years 2003 to 2016. The XCO2 growth rates agree with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) growth rates from CO2 surface observations within the uncertainty of the satellite-derived growth rates (mean difference +/- standard deviation: 0.0 +/- 0.3 ppm year(-1);R: 0.82). This new and independent data set confirms record-large growth rates of around 3 ppm year(-1) in 2015 and 2016, which are attributed to the 2015-2016 El Nino. Based on a comparison of the satellite-derived growth rates with human CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion and with El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) indices, we estimate by how much the impact of ENSO dominates the impact of fossil-fuel-burning-related emissions in explaining the variance of the atmospheric CO2 growth rate. Our analysis shows that the ENSO impact on CO2 growth rate variations dominates that of human emissions throughout the period 2003-2016 but in particular during the period 2010-2016 due to strong La Nina and El Nino events. Using the derived growth rates and their uncertainties, we estimate the probability that the impact of ENSO on the variability is larger than the impact of human emissions to be 63 % for the time period 2003-2016. If the time period is restricted to 2010-2016, this probability increases to 94%

Body mass index and complications following major gastrointestinal surgery: a prospective, international cohort study and meta-analysis.

AIM: Previous studies reported conflicting evidence on the effects of obesity on outcomes after gastrointestinal surgery. The aims of this study were to explore the relationship of obesity with major postoperative complications in an international cohort and to present a meta-analysis of all available prospective data. METHODS: This prospective, multicentre study included adults undergoing both elective and emergency gastrointestinal resection, reversal of stoma or formation of stoma. The primary end-point was 30-day major complications (Clavien-Dindo Grades III-V). A systematic search was undertaken for studies assessing the relationship between obesity and major complications after gastrointestinal surgery. Individual patient meta-analysis was used to analyse pooled results. RESULTS: This study included 2519 patients across 127 centres, of whom 560 (22.2%) were obese. Unadjusted major complication rates were lower in obese vs normal weight patients (13.0% vs 16.2%, respectively), but this did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.863) on multivariate analysis for patients having surgery for either malignant or benign conditions. Individual patient meta-analysis demonstrated that obese patients undergoing surgery for malignancy were at increased risk of major complications (OR 2.10, 95% CI 1.49-2.96, P < 0.001), whereas obese patients undergoing surgery for benign indications were at decreased risk (OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.46-0.75, P < 0.001) compared to normal weight patients. CONCLUSIONS: In our international data, obesity was not found to be associated with major complications following gastrointestinal surgery. Meta-analysis of available prospective data made a novel finding of obesity being associated with different outcomes depending on whether patients were undergoing surgery for benign or malignant disease
