Hotel Cihadla

Diplomová práce se zabývá návrhem hotelu v kategorii ****. Objekt se nachází v plánovaném sportovním areálu Čihadla v Praze, na který byla předem zpracována urbanistická studie. Architektonický koncept hotelu vychází z lokality, z možnosti rozsáhlého výhledu na město a v neposlední řadě ideou olympijského ohně. Hlavní myšlenou je vytvořit novou dominantu celého arálu. Hotel nabízí kromě možnosti krátkodobého ubytování také wellness služby, luxusní bar v nejvyšším patře s výhledem na Prahu, kavárnu, kongresové centrum, fitness, kino, restauraci aj.The diploma thesis deals with the design of the hotel category ****. The building is located in the future sport area Čihadla in Prague, for which a we planning study was prepared. The architecture concept oh the hotel is based on the location, nice view to the nature and city and, last but not least, from idea of the olympic fire. The main idea is create a new dominance of the whole area. Hotel offers taking a room, wellness sevices, luxury bar in the highest floor with café, also kongress centre, fitness, cinema, reastaurant and more

Towards Peer-to-Peer Scheduling Architecture for the Czech National Grid

The Czech National Grid Infrastructure MetaCentrum has been using a central scheduler infrastructure for approximately the past 10 years. This facilitated simple administration and direct support for large jobs running across several geographical sites. The knowledge of complete state allowed the scheduler to provide high quality decision making incorporating features like fairshare. On the other hand, this central setup created a single point of failure issue and also reached its scalability limits. In this paper we describe our work towards a new distributed architecture that maintains high scheduling quality while solving most of the single server issues. Our new distributed architecture provides both local autonomy and high scheduling quality. Users can still submit jobs locally even when cross-site connectivity is lost. Individual schedulers work primarily with their local server but still maintain global state, that allows them to mimic centralised scheduling features. The architecture still supports central accounting and fairshare across the entire grid. Implementation is based on the open-source Torque batch system, which replaced the previous commercial PBSPro central server installation. Torque provides a similar codebase as it has a common ancestor with PBSPro in OpenPBS. Torque therefore provides familiar interface for both users and developers

Advantages of Synchronous Reluctance Motors

Synchronous reluctance motors are a newrange of standardized electric motors developed by ABB forutilities and industrial consumers to improve their systemperformance and efficiency along with the benefit of beingable to lower their footprint on the environment. Thesemotors, which are delivered to customers in full packagecombined with frequency converter combines theperformance and efficiency of permanent magnettechnology with the simplicity, cost-efficiency and servicefriendlinessof induction motors. An innovative rotorconstruction brings lower losses and allows to use higherdensity of power in the motor construction. These motorsare delivered in variant with efficiency accordance to IE4efficiency level and in variant high output, which ischaracterised with high concentration of density

Materializirane transnacionalne prakse in integracija: poljska transnacionalna migracija in svet materialnih dobrin

The paper addresses the historical and class-contingent processes of transnationalism and integration mediated through material culture. I see the world of goods as a means to uncover the daily, potentially cosmopolitan, practices through which migrants (re)create the ties to their places of origin and destination and contribute to the transnationalization and cosmopolitanization of the subjectivity of the people with whom they interact: the Finnish “natives” and those who stayed behind. The analysis is based on my multi-sited ethnography conducted across Poland and Finland.Ta članek se ukvarja z zgodovinskimi in razredno pogojenimi procesi transnacionalizma in integracije, kot se kažejo skozi materialno kulturo. Svet materialnih dobrin vidim kot sredstvo za razkrivanje dnevnih, potencialno svetovljanskih praks, skozi katere migranti (po)ustvarjajo vezi do krajev izvora in destinacije. Tako prispevajo k transnacionalizaciji in kozmopolitizaciji subjektivnosti ljudi, s katerimi so v interakciji: finskimi »domorodci« in tistimi, ki so ostali doma. Analiza temelji na več-lokacijski etnografiji, opravljeni na Poljskem in Finskem
