Soviet Academy of Sciences

Sakharov received many honors. He was elected as a full member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in 1953 (at only age thirty-two) he was awarded three Hero of Socialist Labor Medals he received a Stalin Prize and he was given a counti y cottage. Sakharov s anti-Soviet activism cost him these rewards. 

Honest scientists from other disciplines were alarmed about what was happening, but for many years they did little to interfere. By the outbreak of World War II, Lysenko and his henchmen were in full control of biology in the Soviet Academy of Sciences.

An international listing and depository would help, to be sure, but the world situation would indicate that there is much to be desired where international cooperation is concerned. Such international cooperation is not too much to hope for, but immediate success in such a venture is not likely. It is apparent that thesis literature seldom appears in bibliographies appended to research reports because academic dissertations are not readily accessible even in this country. The academy of science of an individual country may be able to help in tracing theses. It is well to be aware of the activities of the academies in various countries. In 1956, A. Vucinich, San Jose State Gollege, described the Soviet Academy of Sciences which had been reorganized with the aim of centralizing scientific research (16).

With the appearance of this volume we are pleased to welcome two new members to our Editorial Advisory Board Marian M. Mikolajczyk (Polish Academy of Sciences) and Nikolai S. Zefirov (Moscow State University and Soviet Academy of Science). We also welcome Meir Lahav (Weizmann Institute of Science), who joined the editorial board with the appearance of Volume 19. We hope that these colleagues will help us keep in touch with stereochemical developments in Poland, in the Soviet Union, and in Israel, respectively. We also wish to acknowledge with thanks the advice received over the past decade from Professor Jan Michalski who is relinquishing his position on the Board. 

The committee also thanks the Cabot Corporation, DuPont, Degussa Corporation, Imperial Chemical Industries, Nalco Chemical Company, PQ Corporation, Sandia National Laboratory, and the former Soviet Academy of Sciences for their contributions to the symposium. 

SO with a peak position at 450 nm, was investigated at the Hahn Meitner Institute [19] and the Soviet Academy of Science [19], independently. The first report on the SO " radical formation through direct action of radiation on... 

It may be noted that the RBMK reactor design was chosen by the USSR (despite warnings from the Soviet Academy of Sciences) because it was better suited to available production facilities than the VVER types (which required the manufacture of large pressure vessels). The rapid introduction of RBMK reactors in the USSR made previously used energy resources (oil and gas) available for export to the West, giving a very needed hard currency income. 

In 1962, in an isolated laboratory in Kostroma, Russia, Nikolai N. Fedyakin made a surprising discovery. He found that water sealed in extremely thin glass capillary tubes, stored for a few days, spontaneously formed a new column of water, denser and more viscous than the remaining column of water in the capillary. Not long after Fedyakin reported this result, Boris V. Deryagin (1902-94), at the Soviet Academy of Sciences in Moscow, took over the project. Deryagin was a senior scientist whose work commanded worldwide respect. He performed careful experiments in a chamber in which pressure, temperature, and water saturation were controlled. Deryagin placed open, freshly drawn, ultraclean quartz capillary tubes in the chamber. He discovered that "modified water" could not form in tubes with inside... 

Yu.A. Ovchinnikov s group in the Shemyakin Institute of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in Moscow (Plate 33) will be mentioned [17]. Figure 11 shows the structures proposed from physico-chemical data (A) compared with the structure obtained by X-ray diffraction analysis (B) [18]. 

The comments by Drs. Heikki Seppa, Jorma Vuorinen, and Antti-Pekka Tulkki from the University of Technology, Otaniemi, Finland, and those by Dr. Petri Vainio from the Department of Medical Chemistry, University of Helsinki, are appreciated. The basic concepts have been presented in the Soviet-Finnish Symposium on Nuclear and Plasma Membranes, Helsinki, Finland, March 18-19 1982, and in the Scandinavian Workshop on Plasma Lipoproteins, Punkahaqu/Helsinki, Finland, June 22-29, 1982, as well as in lectures delivered by PKJK while a visiting lecturer of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, Moscow, USSR, March 12-19, 1983. Financial support was provided by the Finnish State Medical Research Council and the University of Helsinki. 

Seventeen universities from ten countries have awarded honorary degrees to Dr. Mark. Among these are Lowell University, Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn and the University of Vienna, he is a member of over 15 state and national academies, including the U.S. National Academy of Science, the American Academy of Arts and Sdences, the Royal Institute of Great Britain, and the Soviet Academy of Sciences.

A new additional impulse toward galvanotechnics in the middle of seventh decade was related to the decisions of the central Soviet government [15]. The Soviet Academy of Sciences decided that the institutes of the Lithuanian AS should contribute to solving problems of the Soviet Union. The reason behind that decision was the realization that the research institutions of the Soviet Union were not competitive with those in Western European and the USA. In these countries, the number of scientific laboratories increased rapidly, their equipment improved, and the scientific production also increased (e.g., the number of scientific journals doubled during 5-8 years). The funds allocated for the development of science in...
