Comparsion of Air Transport of Animal Products in Europe and the USA
Srovnání přepravy živočišných produktů leteckou dopravou v Evropě a USA
(Czech Technical University in Prague, 2026-08-04) Kadlec, Jan; Skolilová, Petra; Štěrba, Roman
The bachelors thesis maps logistics processes in Europe and the USA, including legal and technological factors, in connection with the transport of animal products using air transport. The first part of the thesis places the topic within the context of global logistics and mainly serves to provide an introduction to this issue. The second part of the thesis explains the nature of the issue, with a more detailed focus on perishable products in the context of applicable standards, regulations and requirements for their successful transportation. The thesis provides a comprehensive overview of the required documents and based on a comparison with other modes of transport, highlights the key factors that determine the necessity of air transport. It also deals with the comparison of transport of animal products in Europe and the USA in the context of the markets of both regions, as well as with infrastructure, the organization of the logistics chain and the factors influencing transportation. The final part of the thesis presents new trends and technologies used or being developed for the transport of animal products, as well as a practical example from real-world practice demonstrating how a consignment of animal origin is handled at Václav Havel Airport Prague, including the formulation of several recommendations.
Alternative Design of Selected Intersections in the Town Jablonec nad Nisou
Návrh alternativního řešení vybraných křižovatek v Jablonci nad Nisou
(Czech Technical University in Prague, 2026-08-04) Bayer, Ondřej; Čarská, Zuzana; Moudrá, Karolína
Design of the geometric and traffic arrangement of two selected locations comprising three at-grade intersections in Jablonec nad Nisou, with a focus on improving road safety, traffic calming, and enhancing conditions for pedestrians and cyclists. The thesis includes an analysis of the existing conditions and a proposal for the redesign of the section of Dr. Randy Street between its intersections with Riegrova Street and Harrachovská Street.
Micro-logistics hubs placement in a selected urban district
Návrh rozmístění mikrologistických hubů ve vybrané městské čtvrti
(Czech Technical University in Prague, 2026-08-04) Dekhtiarenko, Yelyzaveta; Horák, Tomáš; Vařacha, Pavel
The bachelors thesis presents a proposal for the placement of micro-logistics hubs within a selected area of the Prague 4 municipal district, considering the estimated demand for parcel delivery and the existing delivery infrastructure. To develop the proposal, the study area was delineated and characterised in terms of the number of dwelling units, population, and development density; an indicative volume of generated parcels was estimated; and the spatial distribution and accessibility of parcel lockers operated by individual providers were assessed using QGIS. Based on the results, four new parcel locker locations and three potential micro logistics hub locations were proposed, including the delineation of their service areas and an indicative assessment of parcel volumes within these areas.
Design and development of a mechanical stress analysis tool for turboshaft engine mounts
Návrh a vývoj nástroje pro analýzu mechanického napětí pro úchyty turbohřídelových motorů
(Czech Technical University in Prague, 2026-08-07) Helies, Victor; Kazda, Lukáš; Armand, Jason
This thesis presents the design and development of HERMES, a mechanical stress-analysis tool for turboshaft engine mounts, carried out during an internship at Safran Helicopter Engines. Interface-level sizing of mounts is today spread across handbook formulae, bespoke spreadsheets and case-by-case finite element post-processing, which makes consistency, repeatability and certification-ready documentation laborious, though still achievable. The work consolidates the static sizing rules, a fatigue methodology compatible with envelope load cases defined at the engine centre of gravity, and a formalised load caseconstruction procedure into a single, traceable rule set, and implements it as a guided, graph-based Python application. The methodology decomposes engine-mount systems into five elementary component families: lug, bolt, bushing, axle and tube. Torque-tube, boss-type and horn-type architectures are represented by assembling these recurring component calculations. The tool was verified against three known reference applications covering the torque-tube, bracket, horn-type and boss-type architectures. Static margins were reproduced for all compared components under consistent assumptions, and every difference in fatigue margins was traced to an identified methodological cause such as the choice of fatigue allowable or the stress-concentration treatment. The complete benchmark preparation required hours to days per case, against a historical justification process commonly measured in months, corresponding to a significant reduction of the justification duration. The thesis reports the completed scope, the engineering choices behind the software, the verification evidence and the lessons learned.
X-ray fluorescence analysis with hand-held instruments
Rentgenová fluorescenční analýza pomocí ručních přístrojů
(Czech Technical University in Prague, 2026-08-03) Mutaková, Klára; Trojek, Tomáš; Čechák, Tomáš
This bachelors thesis deals with X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis using handheld instruments. The theoretical part summarizes the physical principles of Xray fluorescence, the design of handheld XRF instruments, the processing of acquired spectra, quantification methods, and the current fields of their application in industry, archaeology, cultural heritage conservation, forensic science, and other disciplines. The experimental part is focused on the experimental verification of the accuracy of the Olympus Vanta handheld analyzer by measuring reference materials and comparing the obtained results with their certified values. The thesis also includes the development of a custom calibration for selected organic reference materials, for which the instrument is not primarily intended, and its application to additional organic materials.
