Posun doménových stien vo feromagnetických materiáloch sa využíva v rôznych magnetických zariadeniach na uchovávanie, spracovanie alebo prenos signálov a informácií. Ide hlavne o jadrá transformátorov, rôzne senzory, pamäťové zariadenia (napr. HDD v PC) ako aj moderné spintronické zariadenia ako sú Racetrack pamäte, elektronika na báze pohybu doménových stien a pod. Táto kniha má slúži ako učebnica pre pokročilejšie kurzy v oblasti magnetických materiálov. Je určená hlavne študentom, ktorí javia záujem o štúdium magnetických materiálov, ako aj odborníkom z rôznych oblastí, ktorí by chceli pochopiť základy doménovej štruktúry a jej zmeny. Je členená do deviatich kapitol. V prvej kapitole sa zaoberá stručnou históriou štúdia doménovej štruktúry v magnetických materiáloch. Druhá kapitola poskytuje úvod do príčin a prejavov magnetických anizotropií. Tretia a štvrtá kapitola sú venované príčinám vzniku doménovej štruktúry a doménovej steny. V piatej kapitole je rozobratá štruktúra doménovej steny, jej potenciál a kritické pole potrebné na pohyb doménovej steny. Šiesta kapitola je venovaná premagnetizačným procesom, z ktorých jeden - pohyb doménovej steny je podrobne preberaný v kapitole 7. Ôsma kapitola obsahuje teoretické riešenie pohybu doménovej steny. Posledná deviata kapitola predstavuje moderný spôsob pohybu doménovej steny, ktorý je indukovaný elektrickým prúdom. Predkladaná práca predpokladá u čitateľa aspoň základné znalosti z oblasti magnetizmu. V opačnom prípade ho autor odkazuje na základnú literatúru (napr. [2.1 -2.6]).

Solving crystal structures is the royal discipline of X-ray crystallography. Its primary task, with the exception of defects, is to describe the atomic structure of the motif that, by its repetition, fills the volume of the entire crystal or crystalline phase. This task is nowadays more or less routine for single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which can locate hundreds to thousands of non-hydrogen atoms in large unit cells. However, in real practice, we often have material available only in powder form instead of single crystals. Solving the atomic structure from its X-ray diffraction data is non-trivial, mainly because the three-dimensional diffraction space of a single crystal is reduced to one dimension by measuring a large number of randomly oriented microcrystals (crystallites). Therefore, the solution itself requires, in addition to proper measurement methodology, the selection of suitable tools, procedures, and strategies that, through optimization, will lead to the solution and refinement of the given crystalline phase. The current limit of this method is approximately 100 non-hydrogen atoms in the asymmetric part of the unit cell, which, however, is sufficient for most inorganic materials.

The goal of these educational texts is to provide students in the second and third levels of university studies with specific guidance on solving crystal structures from powder X-ray diffraction data. These scripts build upon my first monograph and require practical knowledge of its content. Similar to my previous monograph, I offer solved examples without a deep theoretical introduction, demonstrating procedures and strategies leading to the correct solution of crystalline phases using the freely available GSAS-II program. The examples are arranged from simpler to more complex, and the reader will find many useful pieces of information in the literature references as well as in the comments below the line. Part of these scripts are data intended for your individual practice of the described procedures.

V tomto učebnom texte sú spracované základy fenomenologickej termodynamiky v rozsahu, ktorý je prednášaný v štandardných kurzoch teoretickej fyziky na bakalárskom stupni študijného programu Fyzika. Mierne zredukovaný rozsah sa prednáša tiež na všetkých medziodborových študijných programoch v kombinácii s fyzikou. Časová dotácia pre jednotlivé kurzy bola v posledných rokoch mierne zredukovaná, čomu zodpovedá náš výber a rozsah jednotlivých tém. Našou primárnou snahou bolo dostatočne fundovane vysvetliť kľúčové pojmy a zákony termodynamiky, ktoré sú nutné pre zvládnutie ďalších teoretických fyzikálnych kurzov na magisterskom stupni štúdia (napr. Štatistická fyzika, Fyzika kondenzovaných látok, Kvantová teória tuhých látok, Kvantová teória magnetizmu atp.). Kniha tiež prestavuje nutné minimum vedomostí, ktoré sú nevyhnutné pre štúdium ďalších aplikácií termodynamiky v biofyzike, biológii, chémii, prípadne v inžinierskych odboroch. Porozumenie jednotlivých častí, ale aj textu ako celku vyžaduje ovládanie základných pojmov termodynamiky na úrovni kurzu Všeobecnej fyziky a znalosti v rozsahu štandardného univerzitného kurzu matematiky. Jednotlivé témy sú spracované s maximálnym dôrazom na koncepčnosť a matematickú rigoróznosť. Tak ako v iných teoretických disciplínach, aj v termodynamike vyžaduje pochopenie kľúčových pojmov a zákonov paralelné riešenie praktických úloh k jednotlivým témam, čo sa prirodzene deje na numerických cvičeniach, ktoré sú súčasťou kurzu. Pre čitateľov, ktorí nie sú univerzitnými študentami odporúčame ako cvičebnicu knihu R. Kubo: Thermodynamics, North Holland Publishing Company (1968). Tak ako každá kniha, aj tento text nie je dokonalý a určite sa v ňom nájdu nedostatky rôzneho charakteru. Budeme preto vďační každému čitateľovi za konštruktívne obsahové i formálne pripomienky. Na záver chceme poďakovať Janke Jaščurovej za jazykové korekcie a Ing. Mgr. Viliamovi Štubňovi za technickú podporu pri spracovaní obázkov v tomto učebnom texte a tiež za korekcie textu.

This electronic material provides the basic principles of creating a systematic nomenclature of organic compounds, from the simplest hydrocarbons to the more complicated nomenclature of carbohydrates. For some groups of derivatives, alternative ways of generating system names are also mentioned, as well as the most common trivial names that are still in use in the literature and in practice, in some cases being the characteristic (dominant) ones. In the introductory section, the basic rules to be respected when writing names of organic compounds are discussed. This document is intended primarily for interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate students as support material for the courses Organic Chemistry and Selected Chapters in Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry. In the final section of this document, solved examples are given so that the student can check how the rules for forming the names of organic compounds have been understood.

Bibliographies provide basic scientific information, illustrate quality and intensity of research in a particular topic, area, or time, and thus help build a cultural-historical perspective of society’s appreciation of knowledge and education. Here we provide a bibliography of herpetological research in the region of Slovakia between the years 1791 and 2017. We collected 2,183 references authored by 1,453 different authors and covering all species of amphibians (18) and reptiles (13) occurring in Slovakia and, in addition, amphibian and reptile taxa occurring in 94 other countries.

Most of the contributions were published in popular magazines and non-indexed journals, while only about 12% of all references represent scientific articles from journals indexed in relevant scientific databases. The extensiveness of study on amphibians and reptiles has varied among different periods within the selected time frame. However, an obvious intensification in the field of herpetology can be observed, especially during the second half of the 20th century. While there have only been few professionals specialized in herpetology, an important role in promoting the research and conservation of amphibians and reptiles in Slovakia has been played by non-governmental organizations and hobbyists. The most frequent type of herpetological data in the referenced literature comes from faunistic research, followed by conservation and general information on herpetofauna, with the majority of published articles in indexed journals coming from the fields of palaeontology, phylogeography, and population genetics.

The presented bibliography is the first step towards building a solid base for future systematic herpetological research in the country and Central Europe.

For computer scientists, the constant challenge is to seek efficient algorithms and various technical and implementation possibilities to improve the computational complexity of currently known algorithms. Partial solutions are offered by approaches such as grid-based methods and parallelization of computation. Quantum computers represent a significant but still unfulfilled promise. From a theoretical perspective, probabilistic and approximation approaches provide very effective solutions, and these are the methods we aim to explore in detail.

These electronic university textbooks serve as supplementary materials for the course Approximation and Probabilistic Algorithms. They were developed from the authors' materials and contributions by Prof. RNDr. Viliam Geffert, DrSc., whom the authors thank for providing the manuscript. Acknowledgments also extend to RNDr. Ján Katrenič, PhD., who prepared the first set of exercises for the course, and Žaneta Semanišinová, who reviewed large portions of the text and contributed suggestions for its improvement.
