Proceedings of the second United Nations international conference on the peaceful uses of atomic energy. V. 33. Index of the proceedings

More than 2100 papers were submitted by the Governments, specialized agencies, and the International Atomic Energy Agency, which participated in the Second United Nations International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, held at Geneva in September 1958. These papers together with the records of the sessions have been published, in English, in a series of thirty-two volumes which constitute the official Proceedings of the Conference. The United Nations has also published abbreviated French and Spanish editions of the Proceedings which total thirteen volumes in each edition. They consist of all the Conference papers in the language of the edition, the complete text of the orally presented papers, the complete text of the one hundred and nine thermonuclear fusion papers, additional selected papers, and the records of the sessions. A similar abbreviated edition is being published in Russian by the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. A list of the titles and prices of the volumes in each of the editions published by the United Nations is included in this volume, which is the index volume of the Proceedings. Prices are quoted in US dollars, but the volumes may be purchased in any national currency. This volume also includes, for the English edition only, a subject index, a numerical index, an author index and a list of errata. The numerical index, which was prepared by the United Nations Headquarters Library, lists the individual papers of the Proceedings serially, omitting the numbers of those papers which were withdrawn by Governments before the Conference. The arrangement of the index is self-explanatory except for the use of the letters F, R or S which appear in parentheses following some of the titles. These letters indicate the existence of a published version of the paper in French, Russian or Spanish. French and Spanish texts may be found in the corresponding series given in the list of volumes. In both editions, Volume 1 contains, as Annex 3, a complete numerical list of papers with volume numbers. Russian texts appear in the publication of the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics mentioned above. The author index was also prepared by the United Nations Headquarters Library. Again, the arrangement is self-explanatory except for some possible confusion concerning the spelling of the names of Russian authors. There are in the Proceedings a number of inconsistencies in the transliteration of these names. In such cases, the names are entered in the index in the form in which they appear in the volume concerned, followed by the corrected version enclosed in brackets. Where the corrected version is substantially different from the spelling originally used, or where it does not fall alphabetically adjacent to the original entry, the corrected version is also entered separately in its proper alphabetical place. A number of technical and typographical errors have been noted in the thirty-two substantive volumes of the Proceedings. Those called to the attention of the editor prior to the publication of this index volume are listed in the errata in the final section of this volume
