XXXVIII Summer School – Conference “Advanced Problems in Mechanics” July 1 – 5, 2010, St. Petersburg (Repino), Russia APM 2010 BOOK OF ABSTRACTS IPME RAS 2010 http://apm-conf.spb.ru GENERAL INFORMATION The International Summer School – Conference “Advanced Problems in Mechanics 2010” is the thirty eight in a series of annual summer schools held by Russian Academy of Sciences. The Conference is organized by the Institute for Problems in Mechanical Engineering of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IPME RAS) under the patronage of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). The main purpose of the meeting is to gather specialists from different branches of mechanics to provide a platform for cross-fertilisation of ideas. The list of problems under investigation is not limited to questions of mechanical engineering, but includes practi- cally all advanced problems in mechanics, which is reflected in the name of the conference. The main attention is given to problems on the boundary between mechanics and other research areas, which stimulates the investigation in such domains as micro- and nanomechanics, material science, physics of solid states, molecular physics, astro- physics and many others. The conference “Advanced Problems in Mechanics” helps us to maintain the existing contacts and to establish new ones between foreign and Russian scientists. Young scientists’ school-conference “Modern Ways in Mechanics” (MWM), which is held within the annual in- ternational conference “Advanced Problems in Mechanics” (APM), is meant for broadening scientific outlook of young researchers in the field of mechanics and also for organizing their scientific dialogue. It is supposed that students, Ph.D. students and young Ph.D.’s under 30 (date of birth is later than 12/31/1979) from different all over the world, specializing in the sphere of theoretical and applied mechanics become the main participants of the conference. In order to attract the largest possible number of various scientific areas and schools, organizing committee suggests a partial compensation for the costs connected with participation in conference, as well as extensive cultural program. One of the major purposes of conference is transfer of scientific experience from well- known scientists to their young colleagues. HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL The first Summer School was organized by Ya.G. Panovko and his colleagues in 1971. In the early years the main focus of the Schoolwas on nonlinearoscillations of mechanicalsystems with a finite numberof degreesof freedom. The School specialized in this way because at that time in Russia (USSR) there were held regular National Meetings on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, and also there were many conferences on mechanics with a more particular specialization. After 1985 many conferences and schools on mechanics in Russia were terminated due to financial problems. In 1994 the Institute for Problems in Mechanical Engineering of the Russian Academy of Sciences restarted the Summer School. The traditional name of “Summer School” has been kept, but the topics covered by the School have been much widened, and the School has been transformed into an international conference. The topics of the conference cover now all fields of mechanics and associated into interdisciplinary problems. SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE • H.

We are particularly keen to receive contributions that show new effects and phenomena or develop new mathematical models. The topics of the conference cover all fields of mechanics, including, but not restricted, to • mechanics of media with microstructure • nonlinear dynamics, chaos and vibration • nanomechanics • dynamics of rigid bodies and multibody dynamics • molecular and particle dynamics • solids and structures • phase transitions • fluid and gas • computational mechanics • mechanical and civil engineering applications • wave motion • aerospace mechanics MINISYMPOSIA AND CHAIRS [MS1] “Nano Structures and Materials” Prof. A. M. Krivtsov (Saint-Petersburg, Russia) [MS2] “Discrete and continuum models in dynamics of condensed matter” Dr. E. L. Aero, Dr. A. V.Porubov (Saint-Petersburg, Russia) Four different forms of presentations are offered, namely, plenary lectures (40 minutes), presentations at minisym- posia (30 minutes), short communications (20 minutes), and posters. The working language for oral presentations is English. Regrettably we can not provide simultaneous translation, and due to the international nature of the conference all the oral presentations must be in English. The working languages for poster sessions are English and Russian. Attention: each participant may only give ONE oral presentation. The number of posters for each participant is not limited. The Summer School – Conference has two main purposes: to gather specialists from different branches of mechan- ics to provide a platform for cross-fertilization of ideas, and to give the young scientists a possibility to learn from their colleagues and to present their work. Thus the Scientific Committee encouraged the participation of young researchers, and did its best to gather at the conference leading scientists belonging to various scientific schools of the world. We believe that the significance of Mechanics as of fundamental and applied science should much increase in the eyes of the world scientific community, and we hope that APM conference makes its contribution into this process. We are happy to express our sincere gratitude for the help in organization to Russian Foundation for Basic Re- search, Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), St. Petersburg Scientific Center of RAS, Scientific committee of RAS for problems of mechanical engineering and technological processes, Federal Agency for Science and Inno- vations. This support has helped substantially to organize the conference and to increase the participation of young researchers. 4 License N 0009465; Certificate N POCC RU Y062.Y01614 Member of St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry (N 88.872) Member of St. Petersburg Chamber of Trade and Industry Member of the Russian Association of Travel Agencies (RATA) Member of Exhibition Association of SPbCCI Member of ICCA (Inter.

    The End of History: Radical Responses to the Soviet Collapse by Joseph Kellner A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair Professor Victoria Frede Professor John Connelly Professor Alexei Yurchak Spring 2018 Abstract The End of History: Radical Responses to the Soviet Collapse by Joseph Kellner Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair This dissertation is the first cultural history of the dissolution of the USSR. It examines the spirited and highly visible search by many Soviets for meaning after the discrediting and disappearance of state ideological control. Marxism-Leninism imagined history as an inexorable if halting ascent, lifting humanity into a luminous, just and rational future. But however vaguely that future was described, it bore no resemblance to the USSR in 1989. Instead, at the twilight of Soviet communism, a newly freed press revealed a darkening world of crime and corruption, and criminals and the corrupt were gaining handily from the newly freed markets. Widespread dislocation in the labor market, mass emigration and cascading crises of public health made the collapse a time of incomparable stress and disorientation. And amidst this material and moral crisis, Soviet streets flooded with prophets, proselytizers and mystics, each offering uncertain citizens new and often radical routes out of the abyss. In examining this milieu, the dissertation explores the ultimate fate of the Marxist-Leninist worldview, once its vision of the future was relegated to the past.

The Conference has gathered 68 scientists from 17 countries confirming microlensing as a mature and established tool of research over a broad range of astrophysical issues, from dark matter searches to the detection of new extrasolar planets of very low mass, down to Earth-size or below. The 3-days Conference has been preceeded by a 2- days school on “Modelling Planetary Microlensing Events” focused on this last issue. The abstracts collected here offer an updated snapshot of the current researches in this field. The topics include: the status of current surveys, planetary events, dark matter searches, cosmological microlensing, theoretical investigations and an outlook towards the future, with in particular a discussion on the possible role to be played by microlensing searches for exoplanets in the forecoming space missions, WFIRST and EUCLID. Finally, the conference has been enriched by a series of topical speeches on related issues from a non-microlensing point of view: the physics of giant planet accretion and evolution, “new physics” and dark matter in the LHC era and an update on the GAIA mission and its potential to characterize planetary systems with high-precision astrometry.
