Distractor devaluation effect mediated by internal attentional selection
No full textWe replicate our previous study (Ichimura & Ariga, 2020) to demonstrate the robustness of the distractor devaluation effect in response to internal attentional selection
Experiments 2 and 3: Glass edge potentiates "thick/thin" flavor of beverage
No full textWe conduct subsequent experiments following our previous study (Ichimura, Motoki, Matsushita, & Ariga, 2020, https://osf.io/568zu)
Glass edge potentiates “thick/thin” flavor of beverage: Experiment 5
No full textTo remove the alternative (weight-based) explanation for our conclusion in the previous study (Ichimura, Motoki, Matsushita, & Ariga, 2020, https://osf.io/568zu), we manipulate only the weight of the glasses of the same thick lips
Glass edge potentiates “thick/thin” tastes of beverage: Experiment 4
No full textWe replicate our previous study (Ichimura, Motoki, Matsushita, & Ariga, 2020, https://osf.io/568zu) with controlling the weight difference of the thick and thin glasses. To minimize any weight difference between the glasses, we attach metal washers to the bottom of each glass
Investigation of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for fuel cells
No full textTitle: Investigation of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for fuel cells Author: Šimon Fuka Department: Department of surface and plasma science Supervisor: doc. Mgr. Iva Matolínová, Dr., Department of surface and plasma science Abstract: This bachelor thesis is focused on the study of degradation of the fuel cell, specifically on the study of the catalyst diffusion into the membrane and of the chemical and morphological changes at the interface. The catalyst is prepared by magnetron sputtering directly on the membrane. Morphological changes at the interface will be monitored either by scanning electron microscope (SEM) or by using the focused ion beam (FIB). Diffusion of the catalyst will be observed using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The bachelor thesis will contribute to the lifetime of the fuel cell type PEMFC (proton exchange membrane fuel cell). Keywords: Catalyst, Diffusion, Membrane, Fuel cell, SE
Internet transformation of czech film critic for example, a film publicist František Fuka
No full textThis bachelor's thesis is devoted to the important trend of transformation of film media from print titles into new media with internet as the main example. Thesis aims to map out the form, function and changes of the current internet film journalism. This is the current trend, in which the current film criticism is significantly influenced by the internet, what brings new habits and practices into it. The first part will be devoted to the contemporary scene of film criticism and reviews. In the second part, trends will be reflected in the case study focused on the person od František Fuka. He is one of the leading Czech film critics, who long worked in traditional printed media and is also among the pioneers of film journalism on Czech internet. In his person we can find all of the features of internet journalists. Fuka is a typical example of a modern film critic who uses all possible platforms and develops all the possibilities of the internet to present their work and communicate with readers. The aim is to highlight the example of the current trends of film criticism and prove the convergence of film critics and readers, which is a result of the advent of new media. All of that leads to the fact that the boundaries of the relationship between author and reader are getting thinner
Study of 3-phase catalytic layers for polymer electrolyte fuel cells and electrolysers
No full textTitle: Study of 3-phase catalytic layers for polymer electrolyte fuel cells and electrolysers Author: Šimon Fuka Department: Department of Surface and Plasma Science Supervisor: doc. Mgr. Iva Matolínová, Dr., Department of Surface and Plasma Science Abstract: The diploma thesis focuses on the study of catalytic layers for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) or electrolyzers based on the mixture of platinum and cerium oxide. These layers are prepared by using magnetron sputtering, their properties are studied depending on the deposition parameters or the choice of the substrate by using SEM, AFM, XPS and then tested as an anode in the fuel cell. In addition to the morphology of the catalytic layers, it has been shown that the dispersion of very small nanoparticles of the catalyst with a size of 1-2 nm has a great effect on PEMFC performance. Most of the prepared samples gave maximal and maximal specific performance much higher than the state of art values published for Pt-CeOx system. By studying properties of the layers used as the anode catalysts, this work contributes to the understanding of PEMFC fuel cell behavior and, consequently, to its potential commercialization. Keywords: Fuel cell, cerium oxide, platinum, catalyst, magnetron sputterin
Glass edge potentiates “thick/thin” flavor of beverage
No full textAlthough there is cumulative evidence that glass shape (i.e., visual information) influences flavors of beverages (e.g., Mirabito et al., 2017), there is no empirical research regarding whether glass edge (i.e., haptic information) affects them. We believe that the influence of haptic perception of glass edge is predominant in tasting beverages since we are mandatorily exposed to it during drinking. Thus, we will measure how participants perceive flavors of green tea by manipulating the thickness of glass edge under a circumstance where they are blind to visual information
