A basic physical experimental research of lateral passive pressure is in progress at the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. The research is composed of three doubles of the same experiments with three basic retaining wall movements: rotations about the toe or top and translative motion. A double of the same experiments E5/0,1 and E6/0,1 with passive pressure and pressure at rest during wall rotation about the toe was carried out in 1st half 2012 and the 2nd one (E6/0,1) was finished in the early 2013. Both experiments together should prove a real behaviour of non-cohesive mass acting on moving wall. The behaviout appears distinct from a theory of EUROCODE 7-1 contemporaneously used. Each of experimets has brought a huge data quantity. The paper shows strains of both masses, i.e. deformations and slip surfaces of the experimental sandy masses. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
This work presents the procedure of a computational model of pathological hip joint allowing a simple modification of individual parts of the model according to the planned course of femoral and pelvic osteotomy. Both presented models were subjected to strain-stress analysis by a finite element method using the ANSYS program system. The obtained results are compared with physiological hip joint results and the feasibility of planned osteotomy is evaluated based on selected mechanical parameters. The conclusions are consulted with surgeons and possible corelations with clinical results are searched for. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The paper analyses the fact that the Czech communist party (KSČM) can rely on substantial and stable (occasi- onally even rising) electoral support. The phenomenon has been discussed extensively in academic as well as social and political discourses. On the basis of available empirical data, sociological analyses and statistical information, the paper categorizes some basic socio-political conditions and predispositions which may help explain the fact that the political party once considered to be the anti-system heir of the non-democratic regime is now one of the most stable elements of Czech politics., Daniel Kunštát., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Parliamentary elections in May 2010 ended with unexpected and somewhat revolutionary results: they brought heavy losses to all traditional established parties within the Czech party system, which appeared to be relatively stable since the second half of 1990s, two lesser parliamentary parties were eliminated from the Chamber of Deputies, and two new political parties emerged among successful subjects surpassing quite easily the existing electoral clause of five percent. The text analyzes these results, as well as some attitudes of Czech public identified by exit poll and other sociological surveys and post-election development, and it tries to answer the question, whether the elections in 2010 meant any deep and lasting shift in long-term development of the party system in the Czech Republic or whether it was rather an incidental anomaly without persistent impact on the party system, which will gradually restore itself more or less in the shape that characterized it for one and half of decade before the elections in 2010., Jan Červenka., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
20. dubna 2005 tomu bude deset let, co byly vyzdviženy ostatky Marie a Pierra Curieových z hrobu v Sceaux u Paříže a slavnostně uloženy pod Panthéonem. Marie Curie se tak stala první ženou, která byla takto poctěna. O pohnutém životě této neobyčejně nadané vědkyně bylo napsáno mnohé a její příběh se dočkal i hojného uměleckého ztvárnění. Mezi jedno z nejúspěšnějších děl patří bezesporu divadelní hra Jeana-Noela Fenwicka "Pierre et Marie", kterou u nás uvádí Divadlo Radka Brzobohatého v překladu Alexandra Jerie pod názvem "...nebylo by libo Nobela?" and Andrea Cejnarová.
