A non-completely regular quiet quasi-uniformity

A complete quiet quasi-uniformity is constructed on A. Mysior’s regular but not completely regular space. This answers a question raised by D. Doitchinov at the Prague conference on categorial topology in 1988.

Assessment of the sealing process in lamp manufacture

The ever-increasing machine speed and the scarcity of geniune craftsmen have led to the need for objective standards for the control of glass processes in the lamp industry. Improved measuring techniques offer the helping hand, an example being the Philips infra-red pyrometer, which measures glass temperatures quickly and accurately under production circumstances. This pyrometer was reported on during the prague conference in 1977. The device can only be used to its full advantage if the great number of measurements is reduced to indices which clearly register the influence of the various parameters on the production process. The sealing of incandescent lamps serves to illustrate how this might be done.

Second Prague Conference on Psychology of Human Learning and Problem Solving

Second Prague Conference on Psychology of Human Learning and Problem Solving

Lenin and Pravda, 1912-1914

In 1962 a gathering of Soviet historians at the Academy of Sciences chose the fiftieth anniversary of Pravda’s founding to call attention to certain shortcomings in Soviet scholarship concerning V. I. Lenin’s leadership of the famous Bolshevik daily. It was noted that although a considerable amount had been written on Lenin’s literary contributions to the paper, insufficient attention had been paid to the problem of its political leadership during the crucial two years before the war. This observation heralded the publication of several detailed studies which predictably found that Stalin, Molotov, and certain other “conciliatory elements” within Pravda’s editorial board had hindered Lenin’s efforts to complete the work of the Prague Conference in equating the Bolshevik faction with the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party.

Present status of problems of endogenous mineralization in Czechoslovakian Socialist Republic

Research in general and regional metallogeny in Czechoslovakia, reactivated after the last war, gained further momentum and scope under stimulus of the 1963 Prague Conference on Postmagmatic Ores. The concept of zonality in geological bodies and environments, with all its most recent expansions and refinements, is given particular attention in current geological-geochemical work. -- V. P. Sokoloff.

Applications of Electron Microscopy in Physics and Metallurgy (a report on the Prague conference)

Most of the papers presented at the conference illustrated the application of transmission electron microscopy by Bragg diffraction contrast to the study of crystal defects in a wide range of physical and metallurgical problems. Contrast effects can now be calculated reliably and there is hope that with improved resolution it will be possible to study the detailed atomic configurations.
