Examination of the common carotid artery (CCA) based on ultrasound measurements is an effective method for detecting cardiovascular diseases. In particular, the spatial evolution of the CCA wall is related to diagnostically relevant parameters describing, e.g., CCA tissue elasticity. Accordingly, the goal of this PhD thesis is to estimate the time-varying contour of the CCA wall from an ultrasound video sequence. This is to be achieved by developing a sequential extension of a machine learning method known as Gaussian process regression (GPR). In the GPR method, a function to be learned is represented by a random process, which avoids an explicit parametric representation. The desired sequential extension of the GPR method should be able to continuously track the detailed shape of the CCA wall over a time period of arbitrary duration.

Brain disorders occur when our brain is damaged or negatively influenced by injury, disease, or health conditions. Balance disorders create a significant category of brain damage impairments. The underlying hypothesis of the considered novel data-centric research approach is that detailed monitoring and continuous analysis of the data produced during patient’s rehabilitation exercise on modern balance force platforms complemented by patient´s physiological data integrated with data captured from other sources can help to optimize the therapy w.r.t. the current needs of the patient, to improve the efficiency of the therapeutic process, and to prevent patient overstressing during the therapy. The aim of this Doctoral Thesis is to develop an adaptive optimization (optimal selection and adjustment of therapy parameters from a large parameter value space) of involved therapeutic processes including precise monitoring, assessment, learning, and response cycles. This research will be conducted in cooperation with researchers from CVUT and Univerzita Karlova Praha (UK), who perform balance training (and collecting appropriate data) in rehabilitation centers built on their two home-grown systems: Homebalance - a system enabling balance training and Scope – a system collecting physiological data. Here, a set of sensors is capturing and storing large sets of data. In the initial phase, data provided by UK will serve as a source of positive and/or negative examples of interventions expected from adaptive optimization.

Musical expression is the art of playing or singing music with emotional communication. Expression include dynamic indications, such as forte or piano, phrasing, differing qualities of timbre and articulation, colour, intensity, energy and excitement. All of these devices are at the service of the composer's intention and they can best be interpreted by the performer. The goal of a dissertation is to analyze the works in terms of a agogics comparing different interpretations, whether they are musicians and conductors. Comparison should include not only different interpretive approaches, but also the historical and social context that it affects.

All Internet users have certain networking behavior: are visiting some subset of web pages, are members of given groups on social networks, are using another Internet tools like Skype. User obviously keeps his behavior even in case of traveling where the user is presented under various IP addresses. The goal of this work is to study possibilities of user identification based on his/her communication practice. That means e.g. (but not only) visited web pages, duration of staying on given web page, order of web pages visited, etc. It is necessary to take into account varying connection speed and any other parameters which might influence quantitative description of user behavior. Next goal of this work is to estimate the probability of correct user identification based on his/her networking behavior.
