To yo or not to yo?

[Paul B. Gallagher]

Thanks to Alina Israeli (who wrote privately), Jack Franke, and Victoria 
Thorstens (who changed the subject but nevertheless concurred). It is 
not "yo."

Next question:

I'm translating this conference document:
<http://www.sus-me.ru/ru/379/381/>

... which includes the following paper (last one at the bottom):

Сварка композиционных материалов (Г.Г. Чернышов, Коперник Н.В., МГТУ им. 
Н.Э. Баумана, г. Москва, Россия).

Now, it seems implausible to me (and web searches confirm it) that 
Nicolaus Copernicus could have risen from the dead to speak at this 
conference... ;-) However, Bauman Moscow State Technical University does 
advertise a Copernicus Grant 
<http://www.mstu.edu.ru/education/inter/grants/kopernik_grant.shtml>, 
which makes me wonder whether Chernyshov is a Copernicus fellow. On the 
other hand, I don't see how the syntax supports that hypothesis. Neither 
does <http://www.copernicus-stipendium.de>, though my German is very 
limited.

Any thoughts?
