    Na základně vlastního pozorování autora při výkonu služby výpravčího v Heřmanově Městci bylo zjištěno, že zde dochází k neefektivnímu využití vlakového personálu, jelikož strojvedoucí mají v této cílové stanici pobyt dlouhý až 66 minut. Cílem práce je navýšení dopravního výkonu na základě lepšího využití vlakového personálu tak, aby nedošlo k celkovému navýšení počtu vozidel a strojvedoucích. Analýzou současného jízdního řádu budou stanoveny velikosti neefektivních prostojů. Bude provedena optimalizace jízdního řádu, oběhů vozidel a turnusů strojvedoucích tak, aby došlo k eliminaci neefektivních prostojů, a to s minimálním dopadem na provozní náklady.Based on the author's personal observations while serving as a train dispatcher in Heřmanův Městec, it was discovered that there is inefficient use of train personnel, as engine drivers have a layover in this terminal station of up to 66 minutes. The goal of the work is to increase transport performance based on better utilization of train personnel so that there is no overall increase in the number of vehicles and engine drivers. An analysis of the current timetable will determine the size of the inefficient downtimes. The timetable, vehicle rotations, and engine drivers' shifts will be optimized to eliminate inefficient downtimes while minimizing the impact on operational costs.Dopravní fakulta Jana PerneraStudent přednesl ucelenou a logicky uspořádanou obhajobu své bakalářské práce.

    Jack Alive / Martin Dead : The Location of the "Author" in Jack London\u27s Martin Eden

    No full text
    This essay is an attempt to read Martin Eden, Jack Londonʼs autobiographical novel, in terms of the inextricable relationship between the author and the protagonist. Critics have often taken the unbalanced plot and the lack of ironic distance between narrator and character in Martin Eden as the technical weakness of London, but this paper argues that the achievement of this novel owes a great deal to the attachment of London to Martin. The unbalanced structure is a necessary product of the severe struggle of the author to kill his romantic alter ego. // Martin, who aspires to win Ruth Morse, tries to cross class boundaries by making a career of a writer. Even after realizing the emptiness of Ruth, who turns out to be nothing but a typical figure of the bourgeoisie, he somehow persists in loving her. The notion underlying here is that, for Martin, love, career and art are fundamentally inseparable. He objects to the aestheteʼs view of Brissenden on account of his separation of art from career. Martinʼs identity and life consist only in the triunity of love/career/art; the alternative is the repudiation of life. Thus, the unnatural delay of his disappointment in love can be regarded as Londonʼs strategy to set the suicide of Martin as the necessary consequence of the story. // By finishing the story and killing Martin, London finally detaches himself from Martin, reconstructs his self, and, unlike Martin, survives as a professional writer. In this sense, Martin Eden is a story about “writerʼs self-reconstruction.

    Experiences Using Large Scale Video Walls for Distance Education

    We describe our experiences building and using the Rutgers Videowall, a low-cost telepresence system that has been used teaching 15 courses and colloquia. By relaxing typical spatial telepresence features, such as background continuity, we greatly reduced costs and gained flexibility in the rooms it could be deployed in. The lower costs and room flexibility enabled academic departments to use the wall, in contrast to traditional telepresence systems which remained inaccessible. We found that the Videowall’s spatial distortions did not have a significant impact on useability, as our initial survey results show that students had an overall positive experience.Technical report DCS-tr-72
