The experience in the publication of the Referativnyy Zhurnal -- Biologiya, which is beginning its fifth year of publication, makes it possible to obtain certain results on the publication of biological literature in the USSR. "A analysis conducted testifies to the colossal changes in biology occurr- ing during the past 40 years of the exj.stence of soviet power. For example, in issue No 1 of Referativn Zhurnal -- Biologiya for 1957, of the 4,H21 works listed, 695 or 15 of the total were written by Soviet authors. During ,'.956, the periodica]. published information on 107,610 works on biology of which ap= proximately 15$ of ~;he total belonged to Soviet autr~ors. No less than 16,180 scientific works on problems of biology are published yearly in the Soviet Union. In the ninth volume of the Russkaya Biblio rafiya o Yestestvoznani i Matematike (Rt~ssiax~ Bibliography on Natural Sciences and Mathematics , pub- lished by the Academ?,~ of Sciences in 1918, literature was collected for the years 1912-1913, and 6,152 works on biology were listed; that is, in Tsarist Russia for a single year only 3,076 works were listed. Comparing the above figures, we can see that for the past ~+0 years scientific production in our country has increased to almost 5 1~2 times the previous level. Not being able to trace the dynamic growth of biological literature for the past ~+0 years, we can note onlyr.that its moat in+;ensive growth belongs to the past 20 years.

Pven in the last century, when Russian science was dust beginning, progressive scientists understood that without a bibliographic source aid science could not successfully develop. Thus, one of the founders of Russian zoological science, Prof. A. P,. Bogdanov of Moscow University, wrote in 1838 that the 'zoological publications of Russian scholars have begun to occupy such an outstanding position in science both in content and in quantity that it has become necessary to compile a bibliographic source of their results within a single reference work. Such a publication was conceived by ttie Zoulogy Department and will soon be pub- lished.' Under the conditions of Tsarist reaction of the 20's of the last century, even modestly progressive action in tr.is vein was not possible. Only under a socialist state could there be established a special Institute for Scientific Information, which could publish n reference periodical for various fields of science, and in this case on biology, "The Referativnyy Zhurnal -- Biologiya leads all other foreign reference periodicals, in existence for 30 years, in the listing of literature. Thus, in 1956, the Referativnyy Zhurnal -- Biologi~?a published 107,610 items, whereas the Bi~olo~~Abstracts, published in the US since 1926, published only 37,27 it6 ems. "Because of the great size of the Referativnyy Zhurnal -- Biologiya, which encompasses the fields of biology, zoology, botany, pathology, mor- phology, microbiology, physiology, etc., its ready use becomes difficult. Therefore, readers have proposed that the R_eferativnyy Zhurnal -- Biologiya be divided into separate sections. "Starting in 1958, there will be, in addition to the regular publica- tion of the complete Referativnyy Zhurnal -- Biologiya, individual reprints of the periodical. Reprint I will be devoted to general biology, microbio- logy, and parasitology; reprint II will be devoted to botany and zoology; reprint III will be devoted to morphology, physiology, pathology, and pharm- acology." - 2 - Approved For Release 1999/09/08 :CIA-RDP82-001418000100050001-8 Approved For Release 1999/09/08 :CIA-RDP82-001418000100050001-8 II.

V. B olgarskiy, Oborongiz, Moscow, 1957, 95 pp and 3 charts According to the annotation on the back of the title page (p 2), this book deals with problems of combustion and flow at the high temperatures encountered in the operation of rocket engines. A method for the thermo- dynamic calculation of the operation of rocket engines is discussed in detail and illustrated by the solution oi? a number of problems encountered in practical work. The application of a graphic method for the calculation of rocket engine parameters is discussed and the considerable simplification of calculations e,chieved by the application of this method po3.nted out. A method for the construction of nomographs to be used in connection with these calculations is expounded in detail. The book is to be used as a text by students who study combustion and flow at higher educational institutions where instruction in aviation is given. However, it can also be of use to engineers who are active in this field. It is pointed out (pp 5-6) that the introduction of a new type of heat engine, i.e., the liquid-propellant rocket engine, necessitated the develop- ment of new methods of heat calculation. These methods are cht~racterized and discussed as follows: The theoretical temperatures of combustion in rocket engines are con- siderab ly higher than those attained in other types of heat engines, because liquid oxidants richer in oxygen than atmospheric air are employed. With the use of thew oxidants, the quantity of combustion products formed per a unit weight of fuel is considerably reduced, while the heat evolved remains approximately the same irrespective of the type of oxidant employed and is not changed appreciably by replacement of the o:?ygen of tha air with hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid, or liquid oxygen. It is obvious that the smaller quan- tity of combustion products which is formed will be heated to a correspond- ingly higher temperature. The high temperature of combustion brings abou~; considerable dissociation in the combustion chamber of rocket engines, so that there is partial recom- bination during the flow of the gases through the nozzle, where reduction of the temperature takes place because of expansion. The necessity of taking into consideration these phenomena makes thermodynamic calculations more dif- f icult. Otherwise, no fundamentally new conditions are encountered in con- nection with the operation of rocket engines, so that the heat calculation can be conducted on the baste of concepts generally accepted in heat techno- logy.

V. Bolgarski,y and V. K. Shchukin, l7borongiz, Moscaw, 1953, outliners the fundamentals of a method for the calculation of treat processes in rockets which is based on general concepts that apply to heat technology and heat engines under ell conditions. The present work represents a more extensive and detailed ex- position of a calculation method which follows logically from general methods of heat calculation and has been expanded to cover a new type of heat engine. In view of the fact that all processes taking plrace in the combustion chamber and nozzle of rocket engines represent mutual transformations of energy of one type into another (i.e., transformations of chemical energy into heat energy and then into kinetic energy), the author bases his calcu- lation method on the general heat equation, separating in this equation from the total quantity of heat Q th~~ heat produced as a result of the com- bustion of fuel. The general form of the energy equation is as follows (Equation 28, p 23)~ xl - x2 = i2 - 31 '~" A w2 - wI -~- Q 2g where x indicates the quantity of heat which ar~aes as a result of the transformation of chemical energy and (w2 - wl)/ 2 g represents the change in the external kinetic energy of the gas. This equation is derived from the simplif red expression _ ______ ~ , where Q / P1 P2 \ U2 - Ul W2 - Wi pl p2 A ~~l ~2 ,J A 2g represents the work done against external pressure and U2 -~ Ul the change in the inner energy of the gas (p 22). After xl has been separated from the total quantity of heat Q, the symbol Q represe~s only the heat of friction and the heat exchange with the environment; i.e., R becomes so small thRt it can be neglected. By using Equation 28 and the relationships underly3.ng the chemical kine- tics of the combustion of fuels, general methods of calculating the processes of combustion and flow are developed for the cases of equilibrium that is established very slowly (nonequilibriw-~ flow) and equilibrium that is estab- lished rapidly (equilibrium flow) (Chapter 3, pp 28-42). The application - ~ - Approved For Release 1999/09/08 :CIA-RDP82-001418000100050001-8 Approved For Release 1999/09/08 :CIA-RDP82-001418000100050001-8 of these methods is illustrated in great detail on the example of tractor kerosene oxidized with 95~,~ nitric acid (Chapter 4, pp 43-70). The section on m?thoda of calculation is preceded by a gen.c~ral treatment of the subject of fuels as far as chemical composition, specific weight, calorific value, the stoichiometric coeff icient, and the c~eff is ient of excess of oxidant necess4ry to bring about complete combustion of the fuel are concerned (Chapter 1, pp 7-20). This treatment is illustrated by examples pertaining to the oxidation of toluene with 95~, nitric acid and the oxidation of ethyl alcohol of different concentrations with 80~ hydrogen peroxide. Data are given on the calorific values of ethyl alcohol and methyl alcohol at concen- trations of 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, g0, 95, and 100,E and of nitric Fcid and hydrogen peroxide at concentrations of 70, 80, 90, and 100,. The significance of properties of fuels and oxidants is discussed from the standpoint of processes that take place in the combustion chamber and nozzle of rocket engines. It is shown that these processes are described adequately by the general energy equation (Chapter 2, pp 21-27). The last section of the book (Chapter 5, pp 71-88) deals with proce- dures to be followed in the construction of diagrams for the calculation of combustion processes and of those of the outflow of combustion products. The construction of these diagrams (nomographs) is discussed in detail and their uses are explained. The following tables are appended to the book: (a) equilibrium constants at 600 - 4,000?

Electrodialys~s With Use of Ion-Exchange Diaphragms "Selective Ion-Exchange Resins and Selective TJn-Exchange Diaphragms," by V. A. Klyachko, All-Union Scientific Re- search Institute oi' Water Sur,ply, Sowerage, F~ydraulic Structures, and Engineering Hydrogeology (VODGEO); Moscow Zavodskaya Laboratoriya, Vol 23, No 9, Sep 57, pp 1049-1051 CPYRGHT eparation of ions of the same charge can ordinarily be accomplished with the aid of an ion-exchange column only by the application of the chro- motographic method with subsequent fractionation or by elution of the ions with complex-forming agents. An increased efficiency in the separation w3~bh the aid of ion-exchange resins of ions close to each otter in their proper- ties can be ach:feved by the application of special selectively acting ion- exchange resins or selective ion-exchange resin diaphragms. "Scogside in 1948 (see Samuelson's book, reference (1) synthesized by the nitration of a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer a resin which has the capacity to adsorb potassium selectively. This cationite resin contains groups which are analogous to dipicrylamine. It exhibited such a high capacity for the selective adsorption of potassium from aqueous solutions that it was used for the conversion of calcium nitrate into potassium nitrate. As a source oi` potassium water of the North Sea was used, which was employed for the regeneration of a cationite filter. "A. S. Smirnov and M. M. Bluvshteyn obtained by the condensation of pyrogallol with formaldehydE a cationite which adsorbed selecti~tely lead and bismuth ions (reference 2). H. S. Miller and J. E. Kline (reference 3) established that sul.fonsted phenol cationites have a strongly pronounced capacity to absorb `electively cesium ions from alkaline media. H. Gregor concluded on the basis of purely thermodynamic considerations that the ratio between different ions adsorbed by an ionite under equilibrium conditions is determined by the ratio of the degrees of swelling of the ionite salts. He also demonstrated that the swelling of phenol sulfonic acid cationite in the form of its calcium, magnesium, and barium salts is proportional to the solubility of the corresponding sulfoberzoates (referencE: 4). "G~?egor and Citerel (cf. Samuelson's book) attempted to synthesize selective ionitee by introducing into the ionite substances which form chelates with the adsorbed ions. "I4.yachko (references 5, 6, 7) demonstrated that introduction into cation-exchange resins of complex-formers in addition to active sulfocarbox- ylic or hydroxyl groups mb:ties it posRible to obtain cationites which have an increased selectivity with reference to those cations which are capable Approved For Release 1999/09/08 : CIA~tDP82-001418000100050001-8 Approved For Release 1999/09/08 :CIA-RDP82-001418000100050001-8 CPYRGHT of forming complex ~:ompourds with the complex-former introduced into the cationite. By introducing ethylenediaminetetr,~cetic acid into phenol sulfonic acid or resorcinol sulfonic acid cationites before condensation, cationites were obtained which have a selective effect toward divalent cations. By condensing resorcinol with formaldehyde in the presence of sodium sulfite and dithizon, a cationite was obtained which is selective with reference to lead. By introducing dimethylglyoxime into a resorcinol sulfonic acid cationite before condensation, a cationite was obtained which has a selective effect with reference to nickel and cobalt. ~iy introducing chromotropic acid into a :laphtalene sulfonic acid ur phenol sulfonic acid cationite, a cationite wt,s obtained which is selective with reference to titanium. "By applying selective cationitea in various fields of industrial and ara].ytical chemistry, it is possible to increase the efficiency of ionite taethods of separation, purification, and concentrati.c~n. "At present selective cationites are being applied 9.ndustrially. "During recent years, electrodialysis with selectively permeable ion- exchange diaphragms was introduced iz??.o practical applications in industrial work and research (references 8, 9). "Such diaphragms can be prepared in a homogeneous state (for instance, by heating carefully a solution of p-phenol sulfon.~ti acid in formalin which has been spread at the bottom of a porcelain trough) or in a heterogeneous state (for instance, by rolling a f finely dispersed ion-exchange resin powder with polyvinyl chloride or rubber). "The thickness of ion exchan;e resin diaphragms ]ies within the range of ~.5-1.5 millimeters. Thp electrical conductivity of diaphragms of this type is close to that of a free solution. The hydrostatic permeability of ionite diaphragms is close to zero and their resistance to diffusion is very high. "When immersed into dilute solutions that are being subjected to the action of an electrical field, cationite diaphragms are readily per>;~eable to cations, but practically impermeable to anions. Anionite diaphragms, on the other hand, are not permeable to cations, but transmit anions freely, cationite diaphragms are also impermeable to those cations with reference to which the cationite used for the preparation of the diaphragm has a selective effect. Approved For Release 1999/09/08 : Cla'-F~D~82-001418000100050001-8 Approved For Release 1999/09/08 :CIA-RDP82-001418000100050001-8 CPYRGHT "These characteristics of ionite diaphragms make it possible to ripply them very effectively in the separation of ions with different charges, the elimination of ions from solutions, the separation of electrolytes frorn non-~ electrolytes, tYie investigation of complex compounds, and the separation of ions which have the same charge but exhibit a different mobility. The sepa- ration of ions with charges of a different sign can be accomplished by means of a three-chamber cell. "The solution in which the positively charged ions must be separaated. from the negatively charged ions is placed into the middle chamber of this cell. The middle chamber is separated from the cathode chamber by a catio- nite diaphragm and from the anode chamber by an anionite diaphragm. The cathode and anode chambers are filled with distilled water or a dilute solution of ammonia, ammonium carbonate, or some other substance which does not interfere with the separation. A direct current is applied. After some time, the positively charged ions are transported by the current through the cationite diaphragm into the cathode chamber while the negatively charged ions are transported into 'the anode chamber. The expenditure of electric power does not exceed 30-35 ampere-hours per one gram-equivalent of salts removed from the middle chamber. "Experiments conducted by us on the separation by thin method of N ~ and P* 0 ~- indicated that electr dialysis with ion exchange diaphragms makes it possible to obtain Na and P*0~- in a radiochemically pure state. By using the same method and varying the PH of the solution in thcs middle chamber, it was possible to serrate tungsten from molybdenum by treat:''.ng a solution which contained a mixture of sodium molybdate and sodiur~~ tungstatE. The three-chamber cell with ionite diaphragms was also used by us for investigat- ing the composition of complex compounds and studying the effect of the P~ of the solution and of the ratio of different ions on the composition of the complex compounds that are formed. "The separation of ions on the basis of their mobility by passing a direct electric current through a solution of an electrolyte or an electolSrte melt is used in biochemical research. The theory of the process involved was developed by S. Ye. Bresler and r. Ye. Pikes (reference 11). The sepa- ration is done in tubes of sufficient length which are filled with an inert grancalar material that prevents mixing of the solution in the tube by convec- tion end reduces the reverse transfer by diffusion of the ions being sepa- rRted. "The effectiveness of the separation of ions according to their mobility can be considerably increased by using a pile consisting of jonite diaphragms. By using this pile, the effects of convection and reverse diffusion are totally eliminated.

On the other hand, the ratio between the velocities of the pro- pagatior, of different ions in the ionite diaphragm-~ under the action of an electric field was found to be different from that in a free aqueous solution. "Tlxe change of the ratio of mobilities of ions in the ionite diaphragm from the ratio that applie~a in the case of a free aqueous solution can be e~cplained with a considerable degree of probability by assuming that the motion of ions through t}ie diaphragm under the effect of an electrical field proceeds by gradual displacement of the ions from one active group of ionite to another in such a manner that this displacement is accompanied by ion-exchange. One may therefore expect that the process of the diplacF- ment of ions through the ionite diaphragm under the action of an electrical fie id will be affected by the ratio of the strengths of bonds formed by the ions with the active groups on the one hand and with the matrix of the ionite diaphragm on the other hand. "It is known that diaphragms consisting of a cationite which contains et:iylenediaminetetracetic acid (Trilor. 3) do not transmit the divalent cations of calcium, magnesium, and barium under the actio;s of an electric field, but transmit readily sodit:m and potassium, which do not form complex compounds with Trilon B (reference 10). "By using diaphragms made of ionltes which exhibit great affinity to one of the ions being separated, one may separate this ion from the other ians present in the solution, because the mobility of this ion in the ion- exchange resin will be lower than that of the other ions. "Data published in the literature (reference k?) and also experiments conducted by us have shown that ionite diaphragms ct,n be successfully used for the separation of ions which are very close to Brach other in their properties (e. g., Nab" , K~' , and Li+ or Cam' and Mgt) as well as for the separation of organic acids from each other or from inorganic acids. "By using selective ion-exchange resins and ion-exchange diaphragms with selective permeability, one can successfully solve problems encountered in industrial and analytical chemistry that are not susceptible to solution by ether methods."

Application of Ion~Exchange Resins fn Water Treatment and in Concentration o RarU Metals Materialy Neo ranichenn kh Vozmozhnoste (Materials of Un- limited Potential , by B. Ya. Rozen, Mosccnr, Znaniye, 1957, 39 pp The following information is given in this popular booklet on pl.asf;ics: Natural waters always contal.n dissolved material, i.e.~ gases, air, and salts. An exceptionally large quantity of salt is contained in sea water and the water of salt lakes. Fresh water also contains salts (i.e., those of magnesium and calcium) and must be purified (~~softened") before it can be used for the preparation of food, for industrial purposes, and as feet? water for boilers. Salts dissolved in the feed water for boilers cause for- mat ion of scale. The thicker the layer of scale, the more fuel must be used,, because the scale insulates the water from the wall of the boiler tubes. When the thickness of the scale reaches 3 millimeters, an addi~ional quantity oP fuel comprising 5~ of the total must be used. The presence of scale to boilers may also result in an explosion of the boiler. Water is purified by various methods, primarily chemical methods. Slaked lime, soda, and various special preparations are added to the water. Per- mutits are used most frequently for the purification of water. Permutits are artificial minerals which are produced by melting together kaolin, alum, and soda. The difficult problem of water purification has been solved quite recently by the application of synthetic resins, i.e., amino-formaldehyde resins [urea-formaldehyde resins], phenol-aldehyde resins, and polystyrenes [polystyrene sult'onic acids]. Resins of this type are referred to P.s ionites or ion-exchange resins. The softening and desalting of water by i~~nites at electric power stations alone results in a considerable reduction of costs. Hitherto at many mayor electr;',c power stations, turbines had to be specially washed to prevent deposition of salt. During this wcishing, the turbines were stopped. The coat of a single washing of a po~rerful turbine is 250,000 rubles. By passing the water through a 'harrier filter that con- tains cationi+:es, this coat can be considerably reduced. USSR scieati9ts have developed efficient methods for the purification of saline ground waters with the aid of ion-exchange resinA. In experiments on the desalting of water conducted at a number of eovkhozes of northern I~e,za:ck~stan (i.e., the Baydak, Chernigov, and Ukrainskiy sovkhozes), the salt concentration could be reduced to a normal level. Woz~kers at the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Hydraulic Enginee~~?ing send Sanitary Engineering Works [VNIIGS] designed a portable installation for the desalting of water. This installation consists of a number of sand, coal, and ion-exchange filters mounted together in a Approved For Release 1999/09/08 : C~A-RDP82-001418000100050001-8 Approved For Release 1999/09/08 :CIA-RDP82-001418000100050001-8 common housin~,x. The height of a single filter is 700 rnm and its inner diameter is fi0 rnm. When originally introduced into industrial use, ion- exchange resins were used only for the purification of water; at present they are an indispensable aid in the most diverse fiel.da of the national economy. Ion-exchange resins are very useful in the concentration of many valuable metals (e.g,, molybdenum, iridium, zirconium, and vanadium) which occur in a dispersed state in the earth's crust and are present in very small quantities. To extract by ordinary methods a few kilograms of these metals, one must mine thousands of tons of, ore. The ore ct~n then be ground into a fine powder, placed in large vats, crud combined with water to which a small quantity of tall oil has begin added. The nrixtrar~ is treated by blowing a powerful stream of air tbrotxgh it. The bubbles of air then collect and draw upward the particlesr of metal, while the particles .,if gangue precipitate to the bottom. The tall oil promotes adhesion of the metal particles to the air bubbles. A staL1E; foe~v is formed. This foe~m is separated and dehydrated; a~hat rr;mains is a metal cancecrtrai;e ti~nich is smelted. This L:tithod of treating poor ores is expedient when the content of the metal is nc lower tha,~r 1?~2~,. When the' content of metal amounts to small fractions of 1~, it is of no advantage to conceratrcite the metal by this method [i.e., by the flotatian method]. In Lr,is tease, ion-exchange resins are employed. The metal contained in the ore is converted i.ntu an aqueous solution of one of its salts. The solu- tions of the salts era filtered through ion-exchange resins. By this means one can nc~t: only concentrate the pure metal, but also separate metals from each other, e.g., separate nickel from chromium, bismuth from copper, or indium from thalium. The effluents of ple,nts at which copies of motion-pic~ure films are printed always contain a certain amount of silver salts. This silver, which formerly went to waste, is now recovered by means of ion-exchange resins. Notwithstanding the very low concentration of silver in the waste waters, the quantity of silver formerly rejected with the wastes amounted to almost 10~i of the total amount of silver used in this application. Ion-exchange resins are not only of use in metallurgy in connection with the production of nonferrous metals, but are also a very valuable aid in work done by chemists, pharmacists, operators at sugar manufacturing plants, and biochemists. The employment of ion-exchange resins at sugar manufacturing plants has resulted in an additional production of tens of thousands of tons of sugar per year in the USSR, where ion-exchange resins are employed in the treatment of sugar refinery residues that were formerly discarded; the in- dustrial losses of sugar have thus been reduced by a factor of ~-5.

Zamarayev, Ministry of Chemical In- dustry USSR; Moscow, rJspekhi Khimii, Vol 26, No 11, Nov 57, CPYRG~f12o3-122g "Work on industrial applications is of the greatest importance as far as the development of the technology and organization of the production of plastics and other materials incluciir,g elastomers is concerned that are 'to be used in modern machine building, the construction of instruments, radio engineering, thel nuclear energy industry, and the construction of jet and rocket eng{.nes. The machine-building industry occupies a very important place among consumers of chemical products; sod of the production of the USSR chemical Industry is consumed in machine construction and in the operation of machines . "The importance of the chemical industry in this respect is illustrated by the following examples: "l.

Among naturally occurring materials and ordinary metals one often cannot find any which are equal to the high demands put to them as construction materials from the atanc.point of resistance to corrosion and stability at high anal low tewperatures. Many materials for applications of this type have been developed and are being developed by the chemical industry. ~~3? In connection with peaceful applications of nuclear energy, many synthetic chemical materials are required, including materials wh~.ch have a high resistance to corrosion, very pure reagents, heavy water, and some other chemical products. The USSR chemical industry has mastered methods for the production of chemical materials and elastomers to be used in this field. It supplies the nuclear energy industry with all necessary chemical products and articles derived from chemicals (p 1216).

Investigation of Physicochemical Aspects of Explosive Oxidation of Nitrogen With Qzone "The Physical Chemistry of Concentrated Ozone; Part 3 -- Explosive Oxidation of Nitrogen in Mixtures With Concentrated Ozone," by N.I. Kobozev, V. P. Lebedev, B. V. Strakhov, and G. I. Zykova, Moscow State University; Moscow, ?hurnal Fizicheskoy Khimii, Vol 31, No ll, Ncv 57, PP 2547-2550 A considerable number of investigations has been devoted t o the explo- sive oxidation of nitrogen. in mixtures of nitrogen with oxygen and fuels (e. g., H.,, CH4, CO). The work on the aub~ect has been reviewed in a mono- graph by a. ~. Zel'dovich, P. S. Sadovtiikov, and D. A. Frank-Kamenetskiy. In this work the dependence of the yield of nitrogen oxide (NO) on the composition of t`tte mixture, the initial temperature, and other experimental conditions was studied. However, in all the work of this type the explosive interaction of nitrogen with oxygen was indirect, because a third component, namely, a fuel, was always present in the mixture. The energy supplied as a result of the combustion of the fuel created the thermal and other conditions necessary for the oxidation of the nitrogen by the remaining oxygen. Application of concentrated ozone instead of afuel-oxygen mixture as a source of energy forms the subject of the present investigation and of subsequent work on the subject. In the experimental work done in this instance, the explosive oxidation of nitrogen in mixtures with concentrated ozone has been carried out at var- ious pressures and composition,., of the mixtures. It was established that the yield of nitrogen oxide in `.he pressure range of 25-150 mm Hg increases linearly with the pressure, whereas the yield curves with respect to the Additioniof o ss through a maximum at a point corresponding to about (j~i 03. xygen to the initial mixture was found to lower the nitrogen oxide yield.

Then article is subdivided into two mayor sections dealing, respectively with the thermodynamics of isotope exchange (Section I, pp 1435-1457 and the kinetics of isotope exchange reactions (Section II, pp 1457-1468). The first section begins with a discussion of correlations between the coefficient of distribution of isotopes and the equilibrium constants of isotope exchange reactions. This subject is treated mainly on the basis of work done by A. I. Brodskiy, K. Wirtz, and the authors of the present article (Ya. M. Varshavskiy and S. E. Vaysberg). The following subdivision of Section I deals with methods of statistical calculation of equilibriums in isotope exchange and is based to a great extent on work by K. Wirtz, V. M. Tatevsb;iy, S. Z. Roginskiy, and M. I. Temkin, although British and American research is also considered. The discussion of statistical methods' is followed by a detailed treatment of law3 governing the distribution of deu- terium in k~ydrogen isotope exchange. In this treatment, particular attention is paid to hydrogen isotope exchange in hydrides. The section on thermodyna- mics is concluded with an analysis of experimental data on the equilibrium distribution of deuterium in reactions of hydrogen isotope exchange. The section on kinetics of reactions of isotope exchange discusses general problems in this field, equations of the kinetics of isotope exchange, sand the limits of the applicability of the kinetic equation of the first order. In the section on general problems pertainic~g to the kinetics of iso- tope exchange, work by S. Z. Roginskiy, A. I. Brodskiy, and M. B. Neyman is dlscussed in some detail. The significance of the work reviewed in the article is discussed by the authors as follows "The discovery of deuterium was of great importance for chemistry because it created the possibility of using the tra^,er atom method in the investiga- tion of the transfer of hydrogen during chemical reactions. Deuterium has been applied most extensively in organic chemistry because of the special role which hydrogen plays in organic compounds. "The interest in the subject of hydrogen isotopes increased considerabljr in connection with the utilization of nuclear energy.' Since methods of pro- ducing nuclear fuel by the fission of uranium and thorium in nuclear reactors under the action of thermal neutrons were discovered, a new field of the practical application of deuterium has developed, because deuterium is the most effective moderator cf neutrons: Still greater possibilities connected with the practical utilization of hydrogen isotopes, specifically of deuterium, have developed in recent years in connection with the work done by Soviet scientists on the peaceful application of nuclear reactions. - 19 - Approved For Release 1999/09/08 :CIA-RDP82-001418000100050001-8 Approved For Release 1999/09/08 :CIA-RDP82-001418000100050001-8 CPYRGHT "Problems pertaining to reactions of hydrogen exchange are of parti- cular importance for chemistry. This is not only due to the fact that the reactions of hydrogen isotope exchange form the basis of chemical methods for the concentration of deuterium. The exchange of protium atoms for deu- terium atoms forms the simplest chemical reaction of hydrogen substitution as a result of which, however, the chemical structure of the molecule is not signif icantly changed. I'or this reason, the velocity of the transfer of tracer hydrogen atoms under definite conditions may serve as a criterion of she reactivity of different substances depending on their constitution and the properties of the medium in which the reaction. takes place. "The reactions of {;he exchange of protium for deuterium are also of interest frow the standpoint of the understanding of general relationships which apply to reactions of isotopes of any elements. The reactions of hydrogen isotope exchange exhibit a considerable isotope effect brought about by the relatively great difference in the masses of protium and deuterium atoms. This circumstance considerably complicates the study of the fundamental relationships which govern the equilibrium distribution of isotopes and the kinetics of the reactions of hydrogen isotope exchange as compared with other isotope exchange reactions, so that these relation- ships must be expressed in a more complex but at the same time more general form. "It follows from what has been said above ichat the investigation of reactions of hydrogen isotope exchange is at present of very great importance: new data obtained in this field will contribute to the solution of matey scien- t if'ic and practical problems . "No attempt has been made to review all investigations dealing with the production and utilization of deuterium, the number of which runs into many hundreds. The extensive data on the appliWation of deuterium as a tracer atom and the utilization of hydrogen isotope exchange reactions for the in- vestigation of the reactivity of chemical compounds have been reviewed in a number of articles and monographs, some of which are listed in the biblio- graphy. The present article deals only with the results of the most important investigations on the thermodynamics and kinetics of the reactions of isotope exchange. "Although the present review is concerned primarily with deuterium ex- change and the ma,~ority of the investigations discussed iii it pertain to hydrogen isotope exchange, the general xelationships have been treated in such a manner and the fundamental equations derived in such a form that they can be applied to the exchange of isotopes of any element. Deuterium exchange bas been considered principally because the isotope effects expressed by the relationships that have been derived are particular],y prominent in the case of hydrogen isotopes."

In the circuit is an "n"-phase heterodyne, the voltage of which as a reference voltage is fed to a middle point of the input transformer and through two arms of the latter to 2 n diodes (the frequency of the heterodyne equals the frequency of the incoming signal). After phase detection the recti- fied voltage is filtered and then reaches a common bus bar through output limiting diodes. I?h~ is shown that this circuit gives a gain in a signal- noiae ratio equal to N~10 lg G~2'FM db (~ is the pass band of the input of the circuit; 2FM is the frequency band o#' the signal). The gain is shown in relation to "white" noise. The article gives the basic formulas fo~? computing the circuit elements, and a numerical example cf computation is provided. In the event of a misalignment of frequency of the signal and the heterodyne on the load of the common bus bar, there results a parasitic modulation (PM) of puJ.aes due to the "many-phases" detection. It is shown that in the reception of telegraph signals PM is not essentially important even in two phases (because of the small percentage of PM). The article points oat the application of the method in telephony and radar and also in reducing impulse noises. -28- Approved For Release 1999/09/08 :CIA-RDP82-001418000100050001-8 Approved For Release 1999/09/08 :CIA-RDP82-001418000100050001-8 Com onents 25. High-Precision Resistors "Manganin Microwire Resistors With'Glass Insulation," by A. A. Merkulov; MoF~?ow, Vestnik Elektro-Promyshlennosti, No 1, Jan 58, pP 32-31+ Manganin (Cu, Mn, N1 alloy) microwire is prepared by a special process; its diameter varies from 3 to 10 microns a,nd the thickness of the glass in- sulation from 2 to 4 microns. The breakdown voltage of such an insulation is as high as ]..5-2 kv due to the absence of surface scratches, a condition practically unattainable for the conventional method of wire drawing through a diamond die. The resistance of one meter of ouch microwire can be as high as 60 kilohms or higher. Up to 3 kilometers of microwire can be wound on a single bobbin. The "noneks" type of glass is used for insulation of the manganin microwire. A finished 10 megohm resistor is about 50 mm long and 8 mm in diameter. After 6 months of laboratory testing it was found that less than 40~ of the microwire resistors changed the value of their resistance by ? 0.001, which can be considered as an exceptionally stable performance. The'reaist- ance change with temperature is rather small for this type of resistor. Precision resistors of 10, ]DO and 1,000 megohms can now be easily manu- factured from manganin microwire. -2g- Approved For Release 1999/09/08 :CIA-RDP82-001418000100050001-8 Approved For Release 1999/09/08 :CIA-RDP82-001418000100050001-8 Instruments and Equipment 26.

For solving the given problem, a graphoanalytic method of computation was used, since the classical method of symmetrical components results in unjustifiable awkwardness and less clarity due to the nonlin- earity and commutation processes of a rectifier bridge. The degree of asym- metry of currents of a three-phase system is determined by the relation of the negative component to the positive component '~ . ~, where I1 is the virtual value of the symmetrical positive-sequence component and I2 is the virtual value of the symmetrical negative-senuence component.

P'or type LO-709 tubes, where only one high-voltage electrode enters the stem, the authors suggested placing e screen connected to a modulator between the preheater and the anode, which satisfactorily eliminated the lose due to increased leakage. In other types of tubes where high loss occurs, the presence of numerous high-voltage leads in the stem makes a solution of the problem more difficult. 29.

R yazansko~o radiotekh. in-ta., 1956, 1, pp 164-174 (from Referativayy: Zhurnal -='Elektrotekhnika, No 6, May 57, Abstract No 12893) The article offers an analysis of the performance of passive differ- entiating circuits. It is shown that an error in differentiating depends on the type of exciting function. The error increases with as increase in the time constant of the differentiating circuit (T) and decreases with an increase in allowable "observation" time., For a linear input signal, the differentiation becomes sufficiently accurate at t >-4T. A table is pro- vided for the quantitative evaluation tithe differentiation error and for the 'selection of optimum parameters of differentiating circuits. Usually, direct current negative feedback amplifiers are used for reducing errors iz~ differentiation. But such amplifiers have considerable deviation, and their parameters depend on individual tubes. The author suggests a circuit which is free from the principle errors of differentiating circuits. Such a circuit is obtained with a capacitance and resistance differentiating circuit if voltage from a separate source is added to the input voltage which is equal to the drop in voltage across the resistance of the diffe~?entiating circuit. This ie easily accomplished by means of a cathode follower. It is pointed out that this circuit is not susceptible to drift or changes in tube parameters.

The EI-S machine solves problems related to the development and exploitation of large oil fields having strata of any configuration and extending ea far as 120 km.

The theory of simulating the processes which determine the efficient: exploitation of the oil field was developed by Prof' F. Pd. Belash.

The initial values of the problem are placed into the matrix of resist- ors and capacitors, which has about 20,000 nodal points and a flexible com- mutation sys~;em permitting the handling of any possible configuration of the oil-bearing, strata. The matrix of the model is divided into three zones: the central, which simulates the behavior of the oil strata; and the middle and peri- pheral, which have a coarser mesh and are used to simulate the behavior of the ad3acent water-bearing strata. The process of the problem solution takes place in 20, 50 or 100 milliseconds, and is periodically repeated at designated intervals. The EI-S machine incorporates 8,000 election tubes. The power consumption of the machine is about 60 kw for a "large' problem, and the machine can be easily serviced by a crew o~ eight men. It is believed that the EI-S machine will considerably increase the oil production of the fields.

This depth is measured by the thickness of the layer at which the relationship of secon- dary emission characteristics to thickness ceases to exist. The effective depth of secondary emission is related to the depth of penetration of pri- mary electrons in a substance as well as with the depth ox" escape of pri- mary electrons. At first, the effective depth was n~eaeured by the coeffi- cient of secondary emission on successively sprayed layers of the teat ' material on the base layer. However, the large scs~ttering of experimental data and the imperfection of methods do not permit generalizations about . this work. With the use of the wedge method, which. gives moi?.e accurate results, experiments on effective depth of secondary emissicn were con- ducted with six different substances: metals and semiconductors (Ag, Cu, Cr, Sb, Te, Ce) in a specially built tube using an electron gun. A wedge- shaped layer ~t" the test substance of necessary steepness was deposited on a glass plate by the vaporization of a spherical, alm~irt pointlike source. The target with the wedge was placed in the proper position in the electro:; path by means of a magnet. The error ire determining thy-thickness of the wedge due to inaccurate knowledge of 'the geometry of the system and weight CPYRGHT`'f the volati,'_:s substance was estima~ed at appremimately ?0-23 percent.

Uflyand) A plane proulem of the theory of elaetic~ty for an infinite body weakened by openings, the shape of which was formed by the two arcs of their mutually intersecting circumferences, is considered. The author propof~es that at infinity the body will be in a condition of pure shear. Using bipolar coordinates, two cases are studied: (a) one opening having the form of a symmetrical circular opening (the solution has the farm of the expansion of a Fourier integral) and (b) two circular open- ings of simi~ar radius (the solution is presented in the form of a trigonometric series). Numerical results pertaining to the concentration of stresses are obtained in both cases.

New ;.soviet f'rofilorneter "New F'iezoeleet~ic profilometer," by V. A. Yegorov and A. N. Kartasheva; Mo3cow Izmeri~t;el'naya Tekhnika, No 5, Sep/Oct 5'l, PP 15-1C Research work at the A11-Union Scientific Research Institute of the Committee on Standards, Mea:,ures, and Measuring Instruments has succesa- .Cully produced an experimental model of a new piezoelectric profilometer, designated DD, for measuring the roughness of surfaces in Chases 5-12 under GOST 2789-51. The instrument was built at the Moocow 'lviati.~n Tech~r~ological Institute and consists of a piezoelectric probe, an amplifier, and a motor drive. The probe consists of an electromechanical transducer which converts the vibrations of the feeler into electrical oscillations. The piezoelement in the probe consists of two 40 x 8 x 0.35-mm plates of barium metatitanate reinforced at the base. The feeler at the free end consists of a fixed sapphire needle with a radius of curvature of 10 microns at the point. ~? The amplifier unit consists of a double cascade voltage amplifier with two 6N2P twin triodes (left half). The right half of the first amplifier tube is used for reducing interferences (by negative feedback), an3 the right half of the second 6N2P tube acts as a phase inverter for matching the output amplifier, which is nonaymmetrical in respect to ground, with the pusri-pull circuit of the square-law rectifier. A voltage divider sepa- rates the cascades of the amplifier. A slide switch can be installed in four positions. The instrument has four measuring ranges: 0 - 0.1, 0 -?0.4, 0 -1.6,, and 0 - 6.4 microns. The square-law rectifier consists of a push-pull rectifier circuit with two 6N15P twin triodes. The circuit operates on the plate-detection princi- ple. The indicator is an M-24, Class 1, Microammeter. The drive motor is sn AF'~~S-5, 18-volt induction motor. The probe moves at a rate of 2 mm per second. Tests on the profilometer ah;,w that the indication error does not exceed plus-minus 18 percent (the Phillips instrument has an indication error of plus-minus 25 percent, the KV-7 plus-minus 15 percent, and the PCh-2 plus- minus 25 percent).

ArI absolute lethal dose of chemically pure n:etuphos for white mlc~ is appr;.xima?tely 40 mg~kg, and far rats 30 mg~kg. the predominant symptoms in the clinical picture of acute intoxication by metaphos indicate an af'f'liction of the nervous system. If safety regu- latlons are not observed during manufacturing, the preparation may enter the organism of the workers over a protracted period of time. Daily ad- ministration oi' small doses to animals for 3-fj months indicates that metaphos possesaes an express cumulative action. Chronic intoxication of animals is characterized by sluggishness, lowered appetite, and sharp lass of weight. One of the early indications of intoxication is lowered cho- li~testerase activity. An irnportant diagnostic indication, especially expressed during chronic intoxication by Ietaphos, is the development of toxic anemia. A study of labor hygiene conditions during the utilization of metaphos dust fn agricttl~ture (aviation dusting) indicated that, in the workers' zone, ttte concentration of the insecticide reached 'hundreds and thousands o1' parts of a milligram per liter.' When safety regulations were not observed, headaches, dizziness, nausea, and difficulty in breath- ing were frequently encountered. Small decreases in cholinesterase ac- tivity were observed, as were shifts in vegetative reactions e.g., increased tonus of the parasympathetic nervous system. "To ensure the safety of workers who handle metaphos, it is necessary to adhere to the following regulations: all the work should be done under the direction of a responsible agronomist with constant observation on the condition of tite workers' health by a:he medical personnel who should be present at the site. A person selected for work with metaphos should undergo a preliminary medical examination. Contraindications for work with metaphos should. be listed. Juveniles, pregnant women, acid nursing mothers slloulci not be permitted to work with metaphos. During the pre- liminary medical examination, the following should 'oe tested: cholin- esterase activity, blood sertun, complete blood analysis, blood pressure, EKG, and the condition of the vegetative nervous system. Work with meta- phos should not be continued for more than l+ hours a day. All the workers should be protected with special equipment which should be laundered no less thn.n than every 'j-10 days.

The pump System and the oxygenation set up in this apparatus are et'1'icient and differ ft?om non-Soviet models. This apparatus is called ttte "AIK" (the so-culled Soviet "heart-lung" apparatus). It is compact and easy to use. It has been successfully used in experimental and in clinical work. Its output may be as high as 10 liters per min, and it can s~Lturate blood with oxygen up to 10U~,. Prominent men engaged in this work and apparatus inchzde engineers, surgeons, hematologists, and physi- ologists. `1'wo such instruments are described; one the "5B-3" constructed under the direction of S. S. I3ryukhonenko, which is for experimental use and a second, the "AIK," for clinical use. On 24 January 1y58, an 11-year-old boy ;aas presented to the con- ference of the Moscow Society of Surgeons. The boy had been operated on for stenosis of'~the pulmonary artery. The heart was excluded from the circulation, and artificial circulation apparatus wP.;7 used. Retails of the operation on this boy are reviewed. Results include improved respira- tory function, disappearance of cyanosis, etc. In this case, the heart was isolated from the circulation for 10 minutes, and artificial circu- lation was used for 25 minutes. This "heart-lung" apparatus makes it possible to repair cardiac valves and chambers. After the apparatus is connected, `.he heart is excluded from the circulation, but continues to beat with the frequency of the apparatus.

The ultrasonically treated casting and a con~rol casting were halved and OT1e half of each was heat-treated. Mechanical tests on the four specimens showed that the tensile strength and hardness of the ultrasonical'~y treated cast increased 20-25~, and 25-2'j`#i for the heat-treated specimen. At the same time elongation not only did n.ot decrease but had a certain tendency to increase. Microstructural investigations showed that ultrasonic oscillations improved the lattice structure of secondary crystallization and promoted firer structure in the cast and heat-treated materials. They also pro- duced a more uniform distribution of the decomposi~~ion products of the solid solution along the grain boundaries. The authors say that such treatment cou1S be put into practice in the manufacture of small high stress items. i 9~. New Casting Technology of Bearing Alloys "New Technology of Applying B-83 Antifriction Alloy to the Thrust Bearin6 Segments of a I~ydY'ogenerator," by N. N. Mosolov and P. R.

The segments of such a ?;;hrust bearing are made oP 31~- to 120-mm-thick steel plates coated with a layer of B-$3 bearing metal, The principal difference between the new technology oP applying the bearing metal and that of the conventional casting technology lies in the fact that the B-83 bearing alloy ie appl;ed to the base metal of the segments not in the molten state, but in the form of pregeed plates.

The following information on instruments is taken from the various articles presented. Problems of me:r;~ur ng alpha decays of Pu-238 and Po-210 were dis- cussed 5y L. r1. Koridrat'yev, G. I. Plovikova, B. D. Dedov, rand L. L. Goldin. The knowledge of such decay on successive levels is of major importance, because it leads to conclusions or.. daughter nuc?ei. The instruments used in Cris research were a tagnetic alpha-spectrometer and an ionization chamber. Ot:rer methods as gamma-Qamrna coincidences were considered un- reliable. The magnetic alpha-spectrometer o= the Academy of Sciences USSR was used in an attempt to find the cau?~e of the discrepancy in the measurements of alpha-energy levels of Po-210, as measured by F.

The pulses from the receiving electrode entered the input of tt7e amplify:Lng stage and went through a pulse height selector which cut off a part of the a'~plitude and amplified that remaining to the desired level, This radio stage is necessary be- cause the alpha-energies of the tint7lyzed rad3oactivs is-Mopes often dific:~r by a few perc:en~t only.

The resolving power of the ec;uipmen~~ deper7d.s considerably on the back- ground noise of the first amplif_er tube. To attenuate this noise the filament circuit of 'the preliminary amplifier was supplied by direct cur- rent and the first tub~? operated as a triode, thus reducing the noise 3~. A filament voltage of 3.5 volts was chosen as most favorable for noise reduction, Tree optimal resolving power of the equipment was about 8 kev. Analysis of microquantities of alpha active isotopes could be made by means of this equipment.

The most powerful betatron in the world is the Soviet synchro- phasotron which produces energy in the ~?ange of several tens of billions of ele.,tror~ volts. The beam of protons which is dispersed in ~t is accelerated to 300,000 kilometers per second and in intended to split trtorric nuclei trnd make it possible for physicists to peer into the depths of the Mont and learn its structure and study nuclear powers. Betatrons, due to their stream of gamma rays with an energy of about 25 r:ev, will cure people from cancer, will help the metallurgists to pry into a half a meter thickness of steel casts to discover its defects, and will make it possible to study the structure of solid impervious sub- ~tances, etc. Betatrons designed for these purposes exist even now, but, on the whole, trey ??re stationary, too large and too hew thus inconveniF~nt to use. Betatrons constructed at (he~;.~ tausof the Transformer Plant area little smaller in size and weigh~~.
