  • Dear Guests, Welcome to Bojnice Castle!
    Dear guests, welcome to Bojnice Castle! The sightseeing tour begins in the first courtyard at the time indicated on the ticket. Interior sightseeing of the Castle is possible with guided tours only. First room - history of Bojnice Castle. Bojnice Castle is one of the oldest and most significant monuments in Slovakia. Originally a wooden castle that stood on a travertine hill above the town, it was first mentioned in 1113. It was built in stone by the Hont-Poznan family in the 13th century. Since the castle was always in royal possession, it was given to nobles only. Generations of nobility took turns at ruling Bojnice starting with Hont - Poznan, Matúš Čák Trenčiansky, Gileth, Leustach, Noffry, Zapolsky, King Matej Korvín, Thurzo, Pallfy until the last castle owner Jan Pallfy. King Matej Korvín gave the castle to his illegitimate son Johann Korvín in 1489. Legend has it that King Matej loved spending time under the common lime tree, which can be admired outside the entrance to the castle. He would beginn to dictate his documents with "Sub nostris dilectis tiliis bojniciensibus", which translated means "under our beloved lime tree". From 1637 the castle belonged to the last noble family, the Pálffys. Under their ruling, the castle was rebuilt in various styles - gothic, renaissance and baroque. The last Neo-Gothic reconstruction was carried out according to the models of French castles on the river Loire and lasted 22 years. This reconstruction, which was supervised by Count Pallfy himself gave the castle its present appearance. Unfortunately, Count Pálffy did not live to see its completion.

Key words: geodynamics, gravity field, gravimetry, Earth’s rotation, GPS (Global Position- ing System) 1. Geodesy Utilization of GOCE data to regional geodetic applications A downward continuation of vertical component of gravitation tensor based on Poisson integral formula was studied in Janák et al. (2007). However, this problem has not been studied further and our attention has been dedicated to different type of integral transformation mentioned below. The integral transformation between the components of disturbing gravity tensor and the free-air gravity anomaly was developed in spherical coordinates, based on the Pizzetti formula, and properties of particular integration kernels were described in Janák et al. (2009a,b). The integral transformation was discretized and used to solve an inverse problem, i.e. a downward continuation and a transformation of disturbing gravity tensor to gravity anomalies in one step. A numerical simulation of this inverse problem was performed using the simulated data based on the global gravity model EGM08.

    6th International Conference on Plasma Medicine 2nd announcement 2nd announcement Bratislava, Slovakia September 4 -9, 2016 7\ 1/26 6th International Conference on Plasma Medicine 2nd announcement Welcome On behalf of the International Society for Plasma Medicine (ISPM), we are delighted to welcome you to the full-week 6th International Conference on Plasma Medicine (ICPM-6), which will be held in Bratislava, Slovakia, from September 4 to 9, 2016. Plasma Medicine is a new, rapidly growing field that faces many technological challenges and brings to the forefront fundamental questions on the mechanisms of interaction between living organisms and gas plasmas. The conference creates a multidisciplinary forum bringing together professionals from the fields of plasma physics, medicine, biology, biochemistry, pharmacy, agriculture, and food science and industry, in order to develop a common language, to better define key challenges and open questions, to further development of international collaborations, and to move toward effective solutions. This time, the ICPM-6 will be preceded by the Summer School on Plasma Medicine. We hope to see you all in Bratislava, one of the pearls on the Danube river and quickly developing metropoles in the Central Europe.
