Kinstate intervention in ethnic conflicts : Albania and Turkey compared
No full textAlbania and Turkey did not act in overtly irredentist ways towards their ethnic brethren in neighboring states after the end of communism. Why, nonetheless, did Albania facilitate the increase of ethnic conflict in Kosovo and Macedonia, while Turkey did not, with respect to the Turks of Bulgaria? I argue that kin-states undergoing transition are more prone to intervene in external conflicts than states that are not, regardless of the salience of minority demands in the host-state. The transition weakens the institutions of the kin-state. Experiencing limited institutional constraints, self-seeking state officials create alliances with secessionist and autonomist movements across borders alongside their own ideological, clan-based and particularistic interests. Such alliances are often utilized to advance radical domestic agendas. Unlike in Albania's transition environment, in Turkey there were no emerging elites that could potentially form alliances and use external movements to legitimize their own domestic existence or claims

Six Legged Walking Robot Simulation and Control
No full textThe authors present the first results of their scientific work related to design and development of the walking robot control systems in virtual reality. Six-legged walking robot was created along with its virtual counterpart simulated in virtual environment. A control system was created and tested on virtual model. This control system was then directly used to control real robotic construction. Differences between real and virtual robot behavior were analyzed
Calculation of robot position utilizing accelerometers in non-inertial frame of reference
No full textUsing Predictive Controller to Control a Nonlinear System
No full textThis paper engages in the Model Predictive Control of an Air Pressure system. The Air Pressure system includes a pneumatic and an electronic part. The model of the system was created using a tool for systems identifications. Since the system is nonlinear we can use the model linearization and set the constraints to create the Model Predictive Controller in MATLAB environment. The connectivity between PC and the air pressure system is realized by I/O card MF624. We provided the stability test as well. The PID controller was also designed to compare the results with those obtained from the Model Predictive Controller of the mentioned Air Pressure control system

No full textThe thesis describes the chain of causation that leads from the causes of the financial crisis over its consequencies towards the reactions of the Federal Reserve System. After the consequencies of the Crisis have been identified, the author deals in detail with the measures taken -- with their characteristics and the way they function. Afterwards, the author evaluates efficiency of these meausures and describes the role they played in the overall attitude of the Federal Reserve System to handling the Crisis
Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve System in 2007-2010
No full textDiplomová práce popisuje kauzální vztahy, které vedou od příčin americké finanční krize přes její projevy až ke konkrétním reakcím Federálního rezervního systému. Po identifikaci projevů krize se autorka detailně zabývá zavedenými opatřeními -- jejich charakteristickými rysy a principem fungování.
