SMV-2023-37: Projekt CRYSA - kryostat sondy 2
Frolec, Jiří
2023 - Czech
Cílem celého projektu CRYSA je výběr a testování tří kompozitních materiálů vhodných pro uchycení zařízení na velmi nízké teplotě (kryostatu), jež bude součástí chystané vesmírné sondy Athena od Evropské kosmické agentury (ESA). Na projektu spolupracuje skupina Kryogeniky a supravodivosti z Ústavu přístrojové techniky (ÚPT), firmy OHB Czechspace, 5M s.r.o. a Ústav fyziky materiálů AV ČR. Uvedené smluvní výzkumy se v r. 2023 v ÚPT zaměřily na dílčí cíle projektu. Konkrétně byl finalizován výběr tří nejlepších materiálů, které budou v budoucnu testovány, byly vypracovány detailní postupy pro plánované měření tepelných vodivostí vzorků a metoda jejich teplotního cyklování za nízkých teplot. Pracovníky skupiny Kryogenika a supravodivost byla také provedena optimalizace měřící aparatury a změřeny tepelné vodivosti několika cvičných vzorků. Výstupy tohoto projektu pomohou ESA s výběrem optimálního materiálu pro konstrukci závěsů uvedeného kryostatu pro dalekohled Athena. The goal of the project CRYSA is the selection and testing of three composite materials suitable for fixation of a low temperature device (cryostat), which will be part of the upcoming Athena space probe from the European Space Agency (ESA). The Cryogenics and Superconductivity group at the Institute of Scientific Instruments of the Czech Academy of Sciences (ISI Brno), OHB Czechspace, 5M s.r.o. and the Institute of Physics of Materials of the CAS (IPM) collaborate on this project. The aforementioned contractual researches carried out at ISI Brno in 2023 were focused on the partial goals of the project. Specifically, the selection of the three best materials, which will be tested in the future, was finalized. Further, detailed procedures for the planned measurements of the thermal conductivity of the samples and the method of their temperature cycling at low temperatures were developed. The members of the Cryogenics and Superconductivity Group also performed optimization of the measuring devices and measured thermal conductivities of several dummy samples. The outputs of this project will help ESA with the selection of the optimal material for the construction of the mechanical supports for the cryostat in the Athena telescope.

Simulating particle-laden flows: from immersed boundaries towards model order reduction
Isoz, Martin; Kubíčková, Lucie; Kotouč Šourek, M.; Studeník, Ondřej; Kovárnová, A.
2023 - English
Particle-laden flow is prevalent both in nature and in industry. Its appearance ranges from the trans-port of riverbed sediments towards the magma flow, from the deposition of catalytic material inside particulate matter filters in automotive exhaust gas aftertreatment towards the slurry transport in dredging operations. In this contribution, we focus on the particle-resolved direct numerical simulation (PR-DNS) of the particle-laden flow. Such a simulation combines the standard Eulerian approach to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with inclusion of particles via a variant of the immersed boundary method (IBM) and tracking of the particles movement using a discrete element method (DEM). Provided the used DEM allows for collisions of arbitrarily shaped particles, PR-DNS is based (almost) entirely on first principles, and as such it is a truly high-fidelity model. The downside of PR-DNS is its immense computational cost. In this work, we focus on three possibilities of alleviating the computational cost of PR-DNS: (i) replacing PR-DNS by PR-LES or PR-RANS, while the latter requires combining IBM with wall functions, (ii) improving efficiency of DEM contact solution via adaptively refined virtual mesh, and (iii) developing a method of model order reduction specifically tailored to PR-DNS of particle-laden flows.

On Reynolds-averaged turbulence modeling with immersed boundary method
Kubíčková, Lucie; Isoz, Martin
2023 - English
The immersed boundary (IB) method is an approach in the computational fluid dynamics in which complex geometry conforming meshes are replaced by simple ones and the true simulated geometry is projected onto the simple mesh by a scalar field and adjustment of governing equations. Such an approach is particularly advantageous in topology optimizations (TO) where it allows for substantial speed-up since a single mesh can be used for all the tested topologies. In our previous work, we linked our custom IB variant, the hybrid fictitious domain-immersed boundary method (HFDIB), with a TO framework and successfully carried out an optimization under laminar flow conditions. However, to allow for optimizations of reallife components, the IB approach needs to be coupled with an affordable turbulence modeling. In this contribution, we focus on extending the HFDIB approach by the possibility to perform Reynolds-averaged simulations (RAS). In particular, we implemented the k − ω turbulence model and wall functions for closure variables and velocity.

Finite element modal analysis of a silicone vocal fold filled with fluid
Hájek, P.; Radolf, Vojtěch; Horáček, Jaromír; Švec, J. G.
2023 - English
A three dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model of a silicone vocal fold (VF) filled with fluid is presented here. The silicone part of the model is based on partial differential equations of the continuum mechanics and consider large deformations. The fluid domain encapsulated in the silicone VF is defined semianalytically as a lumped-element model describing the fluid in hydrostatic conditions. The elongated and pressurized silicone VF was subjected to perturbed modal analysis. Results showed that the choice of the fluid inside the VF substantially influences the natural frequencies. Namely, the water-filling lowers the natural frequencies approximately by half over the air-filling. Besides, the procedure of reverse engineering for obtaining the geometry of the VF from already 3D-printed mold is introduced.

Key barriers, opportunities and good practices for entrepreneurship and innovation
Křížková, Alena; Marková Volejníčková, Romana; Pospíšilová, Marie; Vohlídalová, Marta
2023 - English
The report is focused on barriers, opportunities and good practices for gender-sensitive innovations and entrepreneurship. It is based on the analysis of 36 interviews with experts from the health, green and digital fields and the target groups defined in the quadruple helix of academia, citizens, industry, and government. The interviews were collected by 12 GILL partners in the 10 consortium countries in 2023. Gender stereotypical cultural beliefs and norms, masculine bias, gender segregation, lack of funding, lack of policies to support work-life balance and lack of political will and empirical evidence to remove these barriers are the main problems identified. The opportunities reflected largely correspond to these barriers and highlight the role of key actors, such as the EU, in setting standards. Projects focusing on fixing the number of women under-represented in certain fields and occupations and management positions predominate among good practices.

Proměny interpretace hudebního folkloru: od ochrany každodenní kultury po vznik hudebního žánru (na příkladu České republiky)
Uhlíková, Lucie; Pavlicová, M.
2023 - Czech
Od 60. let 20. století se v české etnologii začaly rozvíjet snahy, které postupně začaly zařazovat projevy folkloru v jejich druhé existenci do odborného výzkumu. Oblast folklorismu se někdy překrývala s existujícími lidovými tradicemi, někdy na ně navazovala a někdy se jimi pouze v různé míře inspirovala. Rozlišení v takto vymezených kategoriích nebylo snadné ani v minulosti a s příchodem stále rychlejším vývojem společnosti se v obecném povědomí rozostřilo. V tomto rámci vznikl současný široký hudební žánr zakořeněný v hudebním folkloru, který není snadné obsahově vymezit. Příspěvek nastiňuje průběh jeho historického formování, ukazuje modelové momenty jeho vývoje a zabývá se jeho polyfunkčností: mnoho kolektivů se prezentuje nejen na jevišti (spolu s tanečníky) a v hudebních pořadech. koncertním prostředí (samostatně), podílí se ale také na místních etnokulturních tradicích, tanečních zábavách, rodinných oslavách (svatby, narozeniny) a komerčně zaměřených akcích. akce. K ilustraci popsaných faktů článek využívá archivní pramenný materiál a terénní výzkum založený na základě rozhovorů s vybranými hudebníky From the 1960s onwards, efforts began to develop in Czech ethnology, which gradually began to include folklore manifestations in their second existence in professional research. The field of folklorism sometimes overlapped with the existence of folk traditions, sometimes built on them, and sometimes was only inspired by them to varying degrees. The distinction in such defined categories was not easy even in the past, and with the increasingly rapid development of society, it became blurred in the general consciousness. Within this scope, a contemporary broad music genre, music folklore, has emerged that is not easy to define in terms of content. In this paper, the authors outline its historical formation, show model moments of its development, and deal with its polyfunctionality: many collectives present themselves not only on stage (together with dancers) and in concert settings (independently), but also participate in local ethno-cultural traditions, dance parties, family celebrations (weddings, birthdays), and commercially focused events. To illustrate this, the paper uses archival source material, and field research based on interviews with selected musicians.

Monitorování životaschopnosti mikrobiální populace v pitné vodě metodou průtokové cytometrie
Maršálková, Eliška; Makieieva, Y.; Kovar, K.
2023 - Czech
Mikrobiom přírodní vody z artéského vrtu (tj. balené vody tohoto původu) byl charakterizován metodou kombinující fluorescenční barvení buněk a počítání buněk průtokovou cytometrií. Byla sledována změna celkového počtu buněk (TCC) (mikrobiální „otisk prstu“), počtu buněk mrtvých (DCC) a poměr živých buněk s vysokým (HNA) a nízkým (LNA) obsahem nukleových kyselin. Tato pitná voda (tj. obsahující přibližně 14 tisíc buněk na ml) byla upravena technologií CaviPlazmy, při které vznikají peroxid vodíku, ozón a volné radikály. Touto metodou se snižovala životaschopnost (viabilita) mikrobiálních buněk, jak z původního mikrobiomu, tak přidané laboratorní kultury E. coli. Buňky odumíraly, jejich celkový počet se snížil, buňky také lyzovaly a zvyšoval se tak obsah asimilovatelného uhlíku (AOC) v ošetřené vodě. Poznatky z těchto laboratorních pokusů přispívají k porozumění vlivu oxidačních procesů na životaschopnost mikrobiálních buněk a možného budoucího využití těchto technologií pro dezinfekci a ochranu proti opětovnému růstu možných kontaminantů. The microbiome of natural water from an artesian well (i.e., bottled water of this origin) was characterised using a method combining staining with fluorescence dyes and cell counting by flow cytometry. These investigations revealed the microbial fingerprint of such high-quality drinking water (i.e., containing about 14 thousands cells per mL) as well as changes in total cell count (TCC), dead cell count (DCC) and the ratio of living cells with high (HNA) and low (LNA) nucleic acid content. Hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and free radicals were produced in water exposed to CaviPlazma, while cell viability was reduced, both within the original microbiome and in an inoculated laboratory culture of E. coli. In this treated water, microbial cells died, total cell counts decayed by lysis and dissolved assimilable carbon (AOC) increased. Unique findings from these laboratory experiments facilitate our understanding of the effects of oxidation processes on the viability of microorganisms as well as the potential future use of these technologies for drinking water disinfection and protection against regrowth of possible contaminants.

From John Graunt to Adolphe Quetelet: on the Origins Of Demography
Kalina, Jan
2023 - English
John Graunt (1620-1674) and Adolphe Quetelet (1796-1874) were two important personalities, who contributed to the origins of demography. As they both developed statistical techniques for the analysis of demographic data, they are important also from the point of view of history of statistics. The contributions of both Graunt and Quetelet especially to the development of mortality tables and models are recalled in this paper. Already from the 17th century, the available mortality tables were exploited for computing life annuities. Also the contribution of selected personalities inspired by Graunt are recalled here, the work of Christian Huygens, Jacob Bernoulli, or Abraham de Moivre is discussed to document that the historical development of statistics and probability theory was connected with the development of demography.

MAD UFOs: Magnetically Arrested Discs with persistent Ultra-Fast Outflows
Suková, Petra; Zajaček, M.; Karas, Vladimír
2023 - English
We study an outflow that develops in the MAD state in 3D GRMHD simulations. We show that the outflow can be accelerated to\nrelativistic velocities and persist over the course of our simulation. We compare the properties of the outflow from MAD discs with those launched by orbiting secondary at close orbit. The main difference is that the orbiting body launches a more coherent, quasiperiodic ultrafast outflow at lower velocities (v < 0.5c) while the outflow launched in the MAD state (without the body) has a stochastic behaviour and has anapproximately flat velocity distribution between lower anf higher outflow velocities, 0.2c < v < 0.3c and v > 0.5c.
