Železniční cestovatel Eduard Bazika aneb Cestování s manželkou
Hlavačka, Milan
2024 - Czech
Ing. Eduard Bazika (1830–1914) nebyl profesionální poutník, ale poutník z profese. Jako absolvent pražské polytechniky se celý život specializoval na železniční stavitelství a jako inženýr nejdříve státních drah a od roku 1855 až do odchodu na odpočinek v roce 1891 soukromé Společnosti státní dráhy (StEG) celý život procestoval, respektive před výstavbou prochodil svěřené železnice v české a moravské krajině. I po odchodu na penzi pracoval pro Zemský výbor Království českého a jeho Železniční výbor a v této pozici opět pracovně putoval po všech koutech Čech, aby posuzoval rentabilitu budoucích místních drah. Jeho zvláštností bylo, že se vždy snažil skloubit své cestovní povinnosti s rodinným životem, což mělo za následek, že jeho žena a děti putovaly s ním po nejrůznějších štacích a železničních stavbách. Stranou neponechával ani dlouhodobější náročnější soukromé cesty s manželkou na světové výstavy a po historických památkách Itálie (v doprovodu Jiřího Stibrala) či k obhlídce nově dokončených alpských železnicích. Jako představitel sebevědomé české střední třídy, která už disponovala volným časem a finančními prostředky (a samozřejmě režijní jízdenkou) dovedl skloubit cestovatelskou povinnost s cestovatelskou vášní a putování vnímal jako nezbytnou součást aktivního životního stylu moderního člověka. Ing. Eduard Bazika (1830–1914) was not a professional pilgrim, but a pilgrim by profession. As a graduate of the Prague Polytechnic, he specialized in railway construction all his life and as an engineer, first of all for the State railways, and from 1855 until his retirement in 1891, he traveled all his life for the private State Railway Company (StEG), or rather, before construction, he traveled the entrusted railways in the Bohemian and Moravian landscape. Even after retiring, he worked for the Land Committee of the Kingdom of Bohemia and its Railway Committee, and in this position he once again traveled to all corners of Bohemia to assess the profitability of future local railways. A peculiarity of his was that he always tried to combine his traveling duties with his family life, which resulted in his wife and children traveling with him to various estates and railway constructions. He did not leave aside longer, more demanding private trips with his wife to world exhibitions and historical monuments in Italy (accompanied by Jiří Stibral) or to inspect the newly completed Alpine railways. As a representative of the self-confident Czech middle class, who already had free time and financial resources (and, of course, an overhead ticket), he was able to combine the obligation to travel with a passion for travel and perceived traveling as a necessary part of the active lifestyle of a modern person.

Application of In situ TR Spectroelectrochemical Techniques in Determination of Redox Mechanism of Bioactive Compounds
Sokolová, Romana; Jiroušková, Eliška; Degano, I.; Wantulok, J.; Nycz, J.
2023 - English
The electron transfer reactions play an important role in many natural processes. Reactions such as \ndissociation, protonation, and reactions with water and other small molecules often occur in \nbiotransformation. The reaction schemes involving these chemical reactions coupled to the \nelectron transfer can be determined by cyclic voltammetry. Additionally, in \nsitu spectroelectrochemistry can efficiently contribute to the determination of oxidation or \nreduction mechanism. This technique provides information about the electroactive chromophore during \nthe redox process allowing to identification the first reaction intermediates. The final reaction \nproducts were identified by chromatographic techniques. This study represents a key role of TR \nspectroelectrochemistry in the determination of reaction intermediates in the case of \n1,10- phenanthroline derivative substituted by bioactive phenothiazine unit and \ndrug 3- fluorophenmetrazine (2-(3-fluorophenyl)-3-methylmorpholine, 3-FPM). Co pound 3-FPM\nhave recently appeared as the new psychoactive substance in the drug market.\n

A polarizable reference electrode
Mareček, Vladimír
2023 - English
New concept of a reference electrode for electrochemical systems resolves a problem of a poor \npotential stability of refence electrodes based on the distribution of a strongly \nhydrophobic common cation between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (TTTES). The use of a \npolarizable metal electrode instead of a classical reference electrode is demonstrated in \n a modified conventional four-electrode cell with TTTES. A simple battery operated potentiostat \ncontrols the working electrode potential in a three-electrode configuration. The working metal \nelectrode then serves as a polarizable reference organic solvent electrode in a four-electrode \nsystem for the polarization of the water/organic solvent interface.\n\n

Elektrochemické studium pH závislých redoxních vlastností komplexů mědi s aza-makrocyklickými ligandy
Koláčná, Lucie; Maďar, M.; Kubíček, V.; Ludvík, Jiří
2023 - Czech
Molekulární elektronika je progresivní směr moderní materiálové chemie. Zabývá se vývojem\nelektronických prvků na úrovni jedné molekuly. Nejdůmyslnější molekulární elektroniku\nnajdeme v přírodě v podobě metaloenzymů. Jedním ze směrů výzkumu jejich modelů jsou\nkomplexy různě substituovaných azamakrocyklů. Předností těchto molekul je jejich stabilita a\ndobře definovaná syntéza. Investigated Cu(II) complexes are based on plain or cross-bridged cyclam. The\nelectrochemically inactive cyclam was modified by carboxylate, phosphonate, or phenolate\npendant arms. Cu(II) represents the main redox center of the complexes. Modification of the\nligand causes a changed pattern of complex redox response in buffered aqueous solution.\nIrreversible Cu(II) reduction results in complex decomposition to amalgamated copper and\nligand in excess. After Cu(0) electrochemical in situ re-oxidation, copper and ligand are recomplexed.\nComplexes undergo isomerization, accelerated by increasing the temperature. The\ninfluence of pH on complex isomerization and the reversibility of its reduction was described.

Determination of Selected Natural Psychoactive Substances in Organic Matrices at 3D Printed Electrodes
Choińska-Mlynarczyk, Marta; Šestáková, Ivana; Navrátil, Tomáš
2023 - English
Psilocybin and its derivative psilocin are popular psychoactive substances both as experimental\ntreatments in clinical trials and as illicit drugs. Their potential ability to influence the human\nbrain entails the need for a fast, inexpensive, selective, and sensitive method of their\ndetermination. The aim of our study was the development of new 3D-printed electrodes which\nfulfill these demands and are useful for medical, toxicological, and forensic purposes.\nSuccessful development allows determining in real matrices (human plasma and dried\nmushrooms) concentrations of the order of 1 μmol dm-3.\n

Plošné návrhové srážky v českých povodích
Müller, Miloslav; Kašpar, Marek; Hulec, Filip
2023 - Czech
Data o srážkové intenzitě na území Česka s horizontálním rozlišením 1 km2 a časovým krokem 10 minut, získaná adjustací radarových odhadů daty ze srážkoměrných stanic, posloužila k odvození návrhových plošných srážek v českých povodích I. až IV. řádu a v povodích útvarů povrchových vod. Při zdvojnásobení doby akumulace srážky vzroste návrhový úhrn v jednotlivých pixelech v průměru o cca 20 %. S rostoucí plochou povodí velikost návrhových úhrnů klesá, a to především v případě kratších dob akumulace. Data on rainfall intensity on the territory of the Czech Republic with a horizontal resolution of 1 km2 and a time step of 10 minutes, obtained by adjusting radar estimates with data from rain gauge stations, were used to derive design areal precipitation in the Czech river basins of 1st to 4th order and in the basins of surface water bodies. When the rainfall accumulation time is doubled, the design precipitation total in individual pixels increases by about 20% on average. The magnitude of the design totals decreases with increasing catchment area, especially for shorter accumulation periods.

Ceramic protection of anti-corrosion layers of 3-glycidyloxypropyl-triethoxysilane on steel
Pokorný, P.; Prodanović, N.; Janata, Marek; Brožek, Vlastimil
2023 - English
There are various variations on the problem of steel reinforcement bond strength in concrete. Along with geometrical considerations, corrosion performance of steels with varying chemical compositions in interaction with variable chemical compositions of concrete are crucial. One approach is to cover steel surfaces with organosilane compounds, which increases the reinforcement resistance to corrosion in both acidic and alkaline conditions but, on the other hand, may weaken the reinforcement bond strength on concrete. The issue is resolved by intentionally forming a thin-walled, highly adhering corundum layer that is highly porous and impregnated with 3-glycidyloxypropyltriethoxysilane. This procedure also includes testing the adhesion properties between the ceramic and the metal and the cement prior to conducting a corrosion test in a chloride environment.

Infants' learning of novel segments is modulated by prosody
Chládková, Kateřina; Podlipský, V.J.; Nudga, Natalia; Paillereau, Nikola; Kynčlová, Kateřina; Šimáčková, Š.
2023 - English
Young infants recognize atypical realisations of native-language speech. Later they learn words better from native-accented talkers. However, 6-month-olds preferentially listen to unfamiliar speech. We tested whether the learning of new vowels matches 6-month-olds’ listening preferences, being more effective from nonnative-accented speech. We exposed Czech six-month-olds to delexicalised utterances with consonants replaced by [f] and vowels by 405 tokens sampled from a bimodal [ɛ]-[æ] distribution, a contrast absent from Czech, and with either native or atypical rhythm. Discrimination of [ɛ]-[æ] was then tested in an alternating/non-alternating paradigm. Longer first-look duration to non-alternating than to alternating trials – indicating a learning effect – was found in infants familiarised with the novel contrast in atypical rhythm, such effect was not\ndetected after familiarisation with native rhythm. Six-month-olds thus more effectively exploit distributional information about novel vowels from non-native rhythm, which matches their previously reported preferences for listening to novel over familiar accents.

Room temperature ethanol detection using carbon materials
Kočí, Michal
2023 - English
Allotropic forms of carbon, in particular graphene oxide (GO) or nanocrystalline diamond (NCD), attracted the attention of many research groups due to their unique electronic structures and extraordinary physical and chemical properties, preferable for many different applications, including sensor devices. This work focuses on responses of various sensing layers (NCD with hydrogen termination (H-NCD), graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), thiol-functionalized graphene oxide (GO-SH) and their hybrid structures to ethanol vapor with concentrations up to 100 ppm in synthetic air at room temperature. The measured parameters of the tested sensors, especially stability, reproducibility and regeneration, are compared and critically evaluated. The high sensitivity of tested sensors achieved at room temperature makes them very promising for monitoring ethanol vapor as well as other volatile substances (e.g., isopropyl-alcohol or acetone).
