The project goal is to upgrade equipment of CEMNAT which focuse on nano- and microstructure chalcogenide and oxide materials both instrumental-wise as well as technological-wise. Already installed instruments (e.g. ALD) need complementary material-analytical techniques (XPS, XRD, SEM). In accordance to CEMNAT development instruments for material synthesis is needed. The project will endorse effective utilization of CEMNAT research infrastructure which is a one of the institutions on the Roadmap of large research infrastructures if CZE at least till 2020.

The aim of the project is to utilize principles and approaches of software defined networks in the area of intelligent Smart Grid networks for power industry. The proposed solution aims to increase security of control systems in VN distribution points and VVN transmission and distribution networks of electricity. The proposed complex solution of securing a safe operation and remote administration of individual control systems of distribution points and IED devices communicating IEC communication standards. The proposed solution will further reflect on requirements of the Act on Cybersecurity and it will also include a proposal of cooperation between intelligent security system and end IED elements monitoring systems. Utilizing SDN will enable utilizing specialized approaches using data outputs gained from a real-time data analysis and depending on its results, optimization of data traffic and assurance of reliability and safety of intelligent Smart Grid networks can be utilized.

The proposed project will enable the improvement of Clinical Biochemistry education within the degree course ?Analysis of Biological Materials? and ?Bio-analyst?. The newly established laboratory exercise ?Determination of ?(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol in blood plasma (urine) using by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry? exposes students to current clinical laboratory practice. The analysis of drugs in biological samples (blood plasma, urine) is a routine task in clinical biochemistry and toxicology laboratories. Gas chromatography with mass spectrometry is also in these laboratories routinely used.

The proposed project will enable the improvement of Clinical Biochemistry education within the degree course ?Analysis of Biological Materials? and ?Bioanalytic?. The newly established laboratory exercise exposes students to current clinical laboratory practice. Dried blood spot (DBS) technique has found use in newborn screening for congenital metabolic disease. Currently there is great interest in simple and non-invasive methods of blood sample collection. DBS technique meets these requirements; moreover, advantages of DBS sampling, compared to conventional blood collection, include minimal volume requirements (microliters), ease of transport to laboratory, ease of sample storage and stability of measured analytes.

The project is focused on the development of new types of materials, use and application of new techniques for surface treatment and pretreatment with high levels of know-how substantially improved functionality. New coatings will be effective and achieve tailored properties and will meet present or future environmental demands. It is aimed to commercialize the results and coordinate them with EU and CR priorities. The research topics are defined in long term horizon.

The project will study load to the lumbar spine in occupational activities related to risk factors for the development of chronic lower back diseases (manual manipulation of heavy loads, lifting, turning, bending etc.) using the Tecnomatix JACK method. Based on the results, hygiene, clinical and radiological criteria for recognizing selected types of these conditions as occupational diseases will be defined.
While epidemiological studies show a significant contribution of work load to lower back diseases in certain types of occupational diseases at a group level, the developed method should allow assessment at a level of individual persons. This represents qualitative progress as compared with previous assessment methods.

We are making a map which located the exterior stone, and ceramic, mosaics within the Czech Republic.

The map is also the "front-end" for a populated database of each location. The database includes:
documentation of each mosaic, information and descriptions of individual mosaics, highlighted mosaics suitable for conservation treatments, procedures for conservation of various types of mural mosaics.

Supplmenting this database, we are exploring: mosaic conservation procedures and approaches, testing suitable materials and procedures for conservation of mosaics, applying conservation treatments with selected materials and procedures.

The Czech Republic is rich with stucco work from the renaissance era. Through interdisciplinary research between historians, restorers and heritage care workers, renaissance and mannerism stucco works from the Czech and Moravian territories, through to 1620, will be cataloged. This will be the starting point for synthetic processing of these works, and for their respectful placement within the broader Central European historical context.

The goal of the submitted project is namely:
a) Research of preparation of special cellulosic matrix (films, dimensional 3D-structures and dimensional textiles, composites and its combination with other biopolymers (natural polysaccharides and peptides), or other physiologically active substances.
b) Design of prototypes of matrixes applicable as matrixes for active dressings in wound healing, surgery, or matrixes for tissue engineering. The research will be focused on fading of optimal technology of preparation of matrixes, surface treatment of materials, and incorporation of additives, e.g. biologically active substances or nanoparticles. The matrixes can be applied further in combination with drugs with a purpose of prolongation and effectiveness of required therapy (systems of drug delivery).
c) Creation of conditions for further interdisciplinary cooperation in clinical research in wound healing, clinical microbiology, burn treatment and reconstructive surgery in Czech Republic and abroad.
d) Expansion of production program of a company Holzbecher spol. s r.o. barevna a bělidlo (division Medical) by prospective area of active wound healing and exploiting of built research capacities.
