Every football statue transcends mere physical representation; it stands as a public monument constructed to commemorate and honor specific subjects. The football statue involves an intricate interplay of communication factors and functions, potentially transforming into a message imbued with encyclopedic signs to serve its communicative purposes. ...
Cílem bakalářské práce byl komplexní návrh podpůrné konstrukce pro technologickou konstrukci ocelového zásobníku. Nejprve byly navrženy sloupy, dále ztužidla, následně byly navrženy vodorovné prvky včetně konstrukce potrubní lávky a na závěr bylo navrženo kotvení a vybrané spoje. Statický výpočet byl proveden podle příslušných norem. Pro výpočet vn...
Vývoji a praktickému uplatnění materiálu UHPC je stále věnováno velké množství pozornosti. Kotvení v tomto moderním kompozitním materiálu představuje důležitou součást komplexní problematiky navrhování a realizace prefabrikovaných konstrukcí z UHPC. Práce se zaměřuje na vlastnosti kotvení v prvcích z materiálu UHPC. Cílem práce je provedení experim...
In this study, we analysed how the tree growth in stem and roots reacts to thinning, focusing on the consequences for mechanical stability of the root-soil plate quantified by field mechanical bending tests. In order to disentangle the role of the biomechanical control of growth (thigmomorphogenesis) from other factors, half of the studied trees we...
Over the past twenty years or so, Mexico City, like most Latin American metropolises, has undergone a dual process of increasing urban sprawl on the one hand, and densification of the city center and inner ring older suburbs (innerburbs) on the other, and has entered a “settlement stage” in which intra-urban residential trajectories are more numero...

Background: This study attempts to detect the potential effects of local bone morphogenetic protein -2 (BMP-2) on orthodontic tooth movement and periodontal tissue remodeling. Methods: Forty adult SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: blank control group, unilateral injection of BMP-2 on the pressure side or tension side of orthodontic te...

Analysis of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) is essential to ensure that the skeletal and traditional anchoring methods are appropriately and effectively utilized in the context of patient acceptance and satisfaction. This review's objective was to assess the available data on the levels of discomfort, soft-tissue irritation, functional im...

Background This study aimed to evaluate the levels of pain and discomfort associated with employing mini-implants as a temporary skeletal anchorage device compared to the traditional transpalatal arches (TPAs) during upper anterior teeth retraction in patients with upper dentoalveolar protrusion and to determine the level of acceptance of both tech...
The use of geogrids to anchor Sheet Pile Walls (SPW) is relatively new. A series of small-scale tests was performed to investigate the behaviour of geogrid-Anchored SPWs subjected to strip footing surcharge loading. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) techniques were used to measure soil displacement and analyse the global failure mechanism and domina...
