Mobility of Trace Amounts of Radioactive Strontium, Cobalt, and Cesium in the Soil "The Mobility of Cobalt, Strontium, and Cesium Compounds in the Soil," by A. A. Titlyanova and N. A. Timofeyeva, Ural Affiliate, Academy of Sciences USSR, Sverdlovsk; Moscow, Pochvovedeniye, No 3, Mar 59, pp 86-91 Because of the theoretical and practical significance of the mobility of radioactive elements in the soil and the resulting migra- tion, accumulation, distribution, and level of these elements, tests were conducted on the mobility of radioactive strontium-90 (4 microcuries/l), cobalt-60 (20 microcuries/1), and cesium-137 (10 microcuries/l). Soil filters were used for the sorption and desorption of these elements under both dynamic and static equilibrium conditions. Results prove that radioactive strontium is the most mobile; its salts are the most soluble; it can be completely desorbed from the soil; and its mobility is due to ion exchange reactions which occur in the form of a diffuse stream. The mobility of radioactive cobalt and cesium is much lower -- the least mobile being cesium. The sorption rate of cesium is determined by the amount of potassium present, the level of which does not exceed 0.1 mg equivalents/l, while the sorption rate of cobalt is determined by calcium and magnesium the content of which may be as high as 2.1 mg equivalents/l. This discrepancy probably explains the greater migration of cobalt in comparison to that of cesium. The author theorizes that although cesium and potassium are very similar in their chemical properties, the two elements compete to form similar compounds, and the compounds of potassium are more soluble than those of cesium; therefore, the presence of large amounts of potassium in the soil reduces the absorption and, consequently, the mobility of cesium.

V. Gorlenko) "Spores of Ustilago zeae falling into the soil in dust form can sprout immediately since they do not require a quiescent state. Sprout- ing can occur up to 78 days and is determined by environmental conditions. Basidiospores, conidia, and other mycelial formations which arises after the spores sprout are subjected to degenerative processes in the soil, which eliminates the possibility of the saprophytic development of molds and the accumulation of infection in the soil. The basic sources of in- fection to corn in the spring are seed infection and ustilaginous nodules, which have survived the winter." 3.

Mechanism of the Initiation of Explosions as the Result of Impact Pro- duced by a Falling Weight "On the theory of the Initiation of an Explosion by the Falling Weight Test," by L. G. Bolkhovitinov, Institute of Chemical Physics, Academy of Sciences USSR; Moscow, Doklady Akademii Nauk SSSR, Vol 125, No 3, 21 Mar 59, pp 570-572 Increases in the rate of chemical reactions taking place in substances subjected to impact can be produced only by the transformation of mechani- cal energy into heat energy. F. P. Bowden's assumption that local over- heating is due to compression of gas occluded in the solid is incorrect. Frank-Kamenetskiy's critical reaction temperature T*, which must be reached at foci of decomposition in order that the reaction propagate, must be higher than the melting point of the substance; a comparison of T* values for foci of different dimensions with the melting points of "ten" [penta- erythritol tetranitrai;el, hexogen, tetryl, and trotyl shows that this is true. In order that the reaction propagate, heating of the substance, no matter by what mechanism, must be accompanied by compression from all sides: otherwise the heat energy being supplied will be used up in melting the substance. Using P. W. Bridgman's data on changes in the melting point with pressure, the necessary compression can be calculated. The hot foci of decomposition must have minimum dimensions; these dimensions. depend on the particle size. Can the basis of a formula for the maximum pressure ,produced by the impact in the falling weight testing device, the probabil- ity of an explosion can be correlated with the height from which the weigt falls.

Some Work Done at the Siberian Branch of the Academy of Sciences USSR "For Further Advancement of Science in Siberia and in the Far East" (unsigned article); Novosibirsk, Izvestiya Sibirskogo Otdeieniya Akademii Nauk SSSR, No 2, Mar 59, pp 3-8 The following work was done in 1958 at the institutes and affiliates of the Siberian Branch, Academy of Sciences USSR. In the field of physico-mathematical and technical sciences, the first results of value were obtained-in the invebtigation of explosions in the ground and in research on spin detonations which originate when combustion processes are transformed into explosions.. Research has been initiated on the strength of metals of high temperatures. The available geophysical methods of prospecting for useful minerals and surveying de- posits of these minerals are being improved. New methods for this purpose are being devised. Work is being done on methods, for the isolation of rare elements from coal in conjunction with the burning of coal for power generation. In the field of chemical sciences, as a result of work in which cen- tral institutes of the Academy of Sciences USSR and of the ministries par- ticipated, an original design was developed of an.automatic countercurrent disproportionation device [literally' "distributing device"I by means of which the method of repeated extraction can be applied for the separation of rare earths, antibiotics, and higher alcohols. A method has been de- veloped for the separation of the chlorides of such rare elements as tung- sten and indium and, in conjunction with this, of the chlorides of alumi- num, bismuth, zinc, tin, iron, and titanium from industrial waste sludges. The conditions under which the maximum yield of acrolein is obtained in the oxidation of propylene were determined. The acrolein is to be used as a starting material in the synthesis of polymers. Under the current Seven-Year Plan, all leading institutes of the Siberian Branch will have to contribute to progress in the fields of controlled thermonuclear power arid of the use of nuclear energy for the generation of power and propulsion:"- The chemical institutes ought to expand work on wider application in the national economy of synthetic ma- terials, products of nuclear fission, and radioactive isotopes.

Already, in the next; few years, it will be necessary to develop the theory of explosions to such an extent that practical recommendations can be made which will increase still further the effectiveness of blasting carried out in dif- ferent types of ground and in liquids. To unify efforts in this field made by scientists of different specialties, engineers, and technicians active at numerous USSR institutions, a Joint Scientific Council on Ex- plosion Problems should be organized at the Siberian Branch. 7. Chemical Research To Be Done in the Ukraine in Connection With the Current Seven-Year Plan "Tasks of Chemical Research in the Ukraine in the Light of the Decisions of the 21st Congress of the CPSU" (unsigned article); Kiev, Ukrainskiy Khimicheskiy Zhurnal, Vol 25, No 1, Jan-Feb 59 (published in Mar 59 , PP 3-7 Tasks to be accomplished by chemical scientists in the Ukraine in connection with the current Seven-Year Plan (1959-1967) include the fol- lowing activities. Up to now, research on the physical chemistry of high-molecular com- pounds was conducted in the Ukraine in an entirely unsatisfactory manner. In connection with this, new tasks have been set in fields such as the in- vestigation of the lyophilic characteristics of polymers, formulation of a theory of emulsion polymerization, investigation of the polymerization of organosols of metals in different monomers, the rheological properties of polymers including rubber lattices and rubber solutions, filling (rein- forcement) of polymers with different highly dispersed fillers, and the physical chemistry of synthetic substances. Research to be done on the synthesis of organic ion exchangers com- prises the development of ion exchange resins exhibiting a higher adsorp- tion capacity c..nd having a greater'selectivity and also of ion exchangers exerting an oxidative or reducing effect. Availabilii,y of resins with these characteristics will make it possible to apply ion exchangers ef- fectively in hydrome'Llallurgy, the purification of water, the production of sugar, many industrial processes involving oxidation or reduction, analytical chemistry, etc. -5- Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R000100330001-7 Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R0001 00330001-7 Several years ago a major deposit of elemental sulfur was discovered on the Ukraine. However, up to now, neither the Academ"r of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR nor the Gosplan of the Ukrainian SSR has designated the scientific institutions at which investigations are to be conducted on the extraction, conversion, and utilization of sulfur as one of the most im- portant raw materials of the heavy chemical industry. In connection with the very extensive program of the development of new technology and of the production of new metallic materials w1th superior technical' characteris- tics that is to be carried out, it is ihtended to conduct extensive research on rare and dispersed elements, nonferrous metals, and the production of chemically pure metals. In connection with this, work will be done on the concentration of mineral raw materials, improvement of technological processes for the production of rare metals, development and application of methods for the extraction and separation of rare and nonferrous metals, the production of, pure metals, the production of heat-resistant alloys, the physico-chemical analysis of systems that are of itnportance in the technology of rare-earth elements and other metals, and many other problems. In addition to this, work will be done on measures for preventing the cor- rosion of metals and on the development of new types of anticorrosion coatings. Efficient utilization of water supplies, first of all, water supplies derived from open 'bodies of water, for technical purposes and as drinking water requires the development of a modern technology of water purifica- tion and the creation of new water-treatment techniques. This problem can be solved by investigating the physico-chemical characteristics of sub- stances which contaminate natural water and by developing methods for the improvement of the quality of water that are based on the application of adsorption and oxidation processes. One must also introduce many-sided automation of chemico-technological processes applied in water treatment and develop equipment for the purification of water to be used for drink- ing, as well as for the processing of waste water coming from industrial establishments. In the current 7-year period, research will be continued on the chem- istry of complex compounds with the view of solving problems pertaining to the development of methods for the synthesis of such compounds, in- vestigating the structure of complex compounds and clarifying the relation- ships which underlie their reactions depending on the reaction conditions and the media, and developing methods for the practical application of compounds that have been synthesized. To solve these problems, it will be necessary to develop new methods and improve available methods for the investigation of complex compounds. The theory and practical application of methods of physico-chemical analysis will be advanced on an extensive scale. Without physice,-chemical analysis, it is impossible to conduct fundamental research on complex systems and complex substances. -6- Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R000100330001-7 Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R0001 00330001-7 Many-sided investigations will be conducted in the field of the col- loid chemistry of high-molecular compounds and of disperse systems. Par- ticular attention will be paid to the problems of lyophilicity and sta- bili.t.y of such systems. The regularities underlying the interaction of solid phases with different liquid and gaseous media will have to be in- vestigated in connection with this. The increased interest in processes of this type is due in part to the great practical importance of the ob- jects investigated (high polymers, surface-active substances, metal powders and powders of metal alloys, clay minerals, technical lubricants, aerosols, etc.) 8. Current Tasks of Polymer Science and the Program of the New Periodi- cal--Vysokomolekulyarnyye Soyedineniya (High Molecular Compounds) "From the Editors" (unsigned article); Moscow, Vysokomoleku- larn a So edineni a, Vol 1, No 1, Jan 59, (published in Apr 59), pp 3- The extensive program of research on new monomers and new types of polymers which has been planned is imposed by the necessity of solving a number of problems that are of the greatest importance from a practical standpoint. The principal problem involved is the development of poly- mers which preserve their operational characteristics within the most ex- tensive temperature range. To solve the problem in question, elastomers and plastics which combine heat resistance with stability at temperatures below the freezing point will have to be developed. In connection with this, one must obviously. expand research on purely organic polymers (particularly those which have a highly ordered structure of chains), organoelemental polymers, and inner-complex polymers of the chelate type. It is known that polymers with a highly ordered structure of chains exhibit-, significantly higher temperatures of vitrification and softening than polymers of the same composition which do not have a regu- lar structure, that some polymers containing aromatic groups in their chains, e. g., polyparaxylylene, stand elevated temperatures, and that organoelemental polymers, e. g., those of the organosilicon and inner- complex types, exhibit thermal stability at elevated temperatures. Conducting research along the directions suggested makes it possible to raise the thermal stability of polymer materials up to 300?-1;00? or, under exceptionally favorable conditions., even to 5000. A number of prob- lems important from the practical standpoint will be solved thereby. How- ever, the present stage of the development of aircraft and rocket construc- tion and the progress in the electrical industry and other fields of technology urgently require the creation of polymer materials which have a still higher thermal stability. Apparently a satisfactory solution -7- Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R000100330001-7 Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R0001 00330001-7 of this problem depends on the development of heat-resistant inorganic elastomers and plastics. Work along these lines will have to be done on the widest possible scale with participation of the most prominent USSR scientists and specialists in the field of inorganic chemistry. Expansion of research on new monomers aid new types of polymers is also imposed by the necessity of expanding applications of polyrier mate- rials in the production of articles required in the national, economy of the country. Of great practical importance is the development of polymer semiconductors, polymer dyestuffs, polymers which exhibit physiological activity, polymer fertilizers which have a prolonged action, polymers which are active from the standpoint of applications in photography, and a number of other polymer substances for diverse uses. The synthesis of these polymers will require the application of specially selected monomers and polymerization of these monomers to polymers that exhibit a specific structure. Research will have to be done with the aim of developing new methods of synthesis. This refeit to stereospecific polymerization and to the synthesis of block and gr"Vf t polymers. Physical and physico-chemical problems pertaining to the production of materials and.-articles from polymer materials will have to be solved. Extensive application of crystallizing polymers with their high melting temperatures, the conversion of which involves, in a number of cases, molding of polymer articles from melts; application of graft and block polymers; and significant improvement in mechanical characteristics of finished products derived. from polymers (particularly with respect to mechanical strength, especially as far as "fibers and plastics are concerned) require extensive work on the structural and mechanical properties of polymers, involving studies of the orientation of chains and of their complexes, the nature of the crystalline state of polymers, and the sta- bility of structures, as well as changes in these structures. On the other hand, one must expedite work or. the rheology of polymer melts and subject to a thorough-going study processes of the solution of graft and block polymers. These are problems which are of great practical importance and which have essentially not been investigated as yet to any extent either in or outside of the USSR. From the standpoint of the ap- plication of polymers for specific pgrposes in indiv.dual branches of technology, the electric, adhesion, and ion-exchange properties of polymers will have to be studied, as well as the dependence of these properties on the chemical structure of the polymer chains and the general characteris- tics of polymer products. Methods must be developed for grafting polymer chains with the purpose of clarifying the mechanism of the action of light, heat, radiation, and mechanical stresses on polymers. -8- Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R000100330001-7 Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R0001 00330001-7 The changes taking place in the properties of a polymer as a result of the effects mentioned above depend on the chemical nature of the polymer and also on the admixtures contained in it: both factors must be considered in the research that will be done. To find effective stabilizers, detailed research on the mechanism of the so-called ageing of polymers will have to be conducted.

Derkach, Institute of Organic Chemistry, Academy,of Sciences Ukrain- ian SSR; Mcscow, Zhurnal Obshchey Khimii, Vol 29, No 2, Feb 59, pp 600-605 A number of C-aroxy-P,P-dimethoxyisophosphazoacyls and a number of triaroxyisophosphazoacyls were obtained by the action of sodium arylates on C-chloro-P,P-dimethoxyisophosphazoacyls and C-chloro-P,P-diaroxyiso- phosphazoacyls. In all, 24 compounds were obtained and characterized. It was established that during the alkaline hydrolysis of mixed tri- aroxyisophosphazoacyls, the diaryl esters of acylamidophosphoric acids are obtained. The authors state that the mixed triaroxyisophosphazoacyls did not exhibit any insecticidal activity. The compounds C-p-nitrophenoxy-P,P- dimethoxyisophosphazobenzoyl appeared to be an extemely active contact insecticide, while the remaining C-aroxy-P,P-.dimethoxyisophosphazoacyls were only slightly active contact insecticides.

Mil'shteyn) Heptyloxychlorophosphine is obtained according to an earlier described method (L. Z. Sobo':ovskiy, Yu. M. Zinov'yev, and M. A. Englina, DAN SSSR, 1949, 67, 293; 73, 333). From this compound, the ethyl esters of heptyl- phosphinic and heptyl;pyrophosphinic acids are obtained according to the Toy Method (A. D. F. Toy, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 1948, 70, 3882). Upon phosphorylation of esters of boric acid with PC13 in the presence of oxygen and by subsequent hydrolysis, the ex.yphosphinic acids are obtained; the position of the oxy-group in them was not determined. Upon reacting tri- ethylthiophosphate (I) with para-nitrophenol (II) at 190-200?, a mixture of esters is obtained, which, according to insecticidal activity, is equivalent to thiophos; the reactions of I with Captax and trimethylthio- phosphate with II proceed analogously. A review is given of other works of the Chair of Chemical Technology of Moscow State University on fertili- zers and insectofungicides.

Interaction of Phosphorus Thiotrichloride and Alkyldichlorothio- phosphates With Alcohols From the Field of Organic Insectofungicides. XXXVIII. On the Interaction of Phosphorus Thiotrichloride and Alkyldichloro- thiophosphates With Alcohols," by N. N. Mel'riikov Ya. A. Mandel'baum, and P. G. Zaks, Scientific (Research) Institute for Fertilizers and Insectofungicides; Moscow, Zhurnal Obshchey Khimii, Vol 29, No 2, Feb 59, pp 522-526 The reactions of phosphorus thiotrichloride and alkyldichloroihio- phosphates with alcohols were studied. It was established that phosphorus thiotrichloride acid alkyldichlorothiophosphates react with alcohol as normal acyl chlorides of acids, but alkylthiophosphoric acids are formed as by-products by the hydrolysis of the initial and final ester of chioro- thiophosphoric acid. The four dialkylchlorothiophosphates with their physical constants are presented in tabular form. A new method was developed for obtaining dialkylchlorophosphates by the interaction of alcohols with phosphorus thiotrichloride or alkyldi- chlorotiiiophosphate. The dialkylchlorothiophosphates obtained by this method, in a large number of cases, had very satisfactory yields. The highest yields of dialkylchlorothiophosphates were obtained by the interaction of various alkyldichlorothiophosphates with methyl alcohol, which is explained by the high activity of the hydroxyl hydrogen in the methyl alcohol in comparison with other alcohols. The products obtained, the percentage yield, and other physical characteristics are presented in a table. Isotopes 16.

Kondratova, Moscow State University; Moscow, Zhurnal Fizicheskoy Khimii, Vol 33, No 3, Mar 59, pp 734+-735 Recently, published experimental results obtained in work on H, Li, and Hg indicate that, contrary to the views on the subject held higherto, different isotopes of the same element have different molecular volumes. This difference in molecular volumes can be used to separate isotopes by reacting them with chemical compounds functioning as molecular sieves. Experimental results. obtained by the authors with bis-(N, N'-disalicylal- ethylenediamine) -?-aquadicobalt indicate that this compound, which - 13 - Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R000100330001-7 Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R0001 00330001-7 absorbs oxygen intensively at temperatures below 1.06 and releases it at temperatures above 600, can be used for the concentration of 018 (enrich- ment of ordinary oxygen with 0i6018 molecules). The absorption of oxygen by the cobalt compqupd takes place intra- molecularly with the formation of an -0-0-bridgetbetween two cobalt atoms. Because the distance between the cobalt atoms is fixed, the compound acts as a molecular sieve for oxygen isotopes. Research on the separation of isotopes of other elements on the basis of differences in the molecular volume is being conducted at present. 17. Isotopic Exchange of Nitrogen Between: Aminq?ompounds and Ammonia "Isotopic Exchange of Nitrogen Between Amizaocompounds and Liquid Ammonia," by L. L. Strizhak, S. G. Demidgnko, and A. I. Brodskiy, Corresponding Member Academy of Sciences USSR, Institute of Physical Chemistry, Academy,.of Sciences Ukrainian SSR; Moscow, Vestnik Akademii Nauk SSSR, Vol 121+, No 5, 11 Feb 59, pp 1089-1092 It was established that liquid ammonia does not exchange N15 with nitrogroups, the nitrogen of the pyridine nucleus, or aminogroups when they are bound directly to carbon atoms of aromatic nuclei or of alkyl groups. Exchange with aminogroups takes place when a strongly negative group, such as a nitrogroup or a sulfonic acid group, is present in the aromatic nucleus. Exchange proceeds at a relatively fast rate in sub- stances in which the aminogroup is bound directly to carbonyl groups or analyogous CS or CNH groups. As far as the rate of exchange is concerned, acid amides form the following series: cc13,CO.NH2 > CH3.C0.NH2 > C2H 5 0. CO. N112 > N02C6H1F, Co, NH2 > C6H5 . Co. NH2 It appears from this series that the rate of exchange increases with increased electrophilic strength of the carbon atom to which the aminogroup Is bound. Analogous relationships are observed in urea derivatives. - 14 - Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R000100330001-7 Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R0001 00330001-7 Nuclear Fuels and Reactor Construction Materials 18.

I. Grebenshchikova and N. B. Chernyavskaya; Moscow, Zhurnal Neorganicheskoy Khimii, Vol 4, No It, Ap-r 59, pp 911-9 F9 In a paper presented by B. V. Kurchatov, V. N. Grebenshchi,kova, N. B. Chernyavskaya, and G. N. Yakovlev at the First International Con- ?e;rence on Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy, Geieva, 1955 the principal conditions for the analytical separation of PO+ and Np4+ by means of the double potassium-lanth-clium sulfate were indicated. However, it was found in connection with the application of this method for the separation of americium from plutonium that there is a considerable dif- ference in the behavior of these metals. Because of the importance of the sulfate method and its extensive use, the distribution of plutonium and americium between the double sulfate and solution was investigated more thoroughly in the work described in this instance. It was established that the coefficient of the distribution of americium does not depend on the concentration of potassium sulfate in solution, but that of the dis- tribution of plutonium does. The maximum value of the coefficient of distribution of plutonium corresponds to the formation of the complex Pu (So))3 ion in solutions. This complex is analogous in composition to the complex lanthanum sulfate ion present in the solid salt and differes from it only by its charge. The plutonium sulfate ion is smaller than the lanthanum sulfate ion because the charge of the plutonium.ion (4+ ) is greater than that of the lanthanum ion (3+ ). This must have a favor- able effect on the inclusion of the plutonium sulfate ion into the lattice of the macrocomponent. The data obtained on the distribution coefficients of Am and Pu make it possible to select optimal conditions, not only for their joint separa- tion from dilute solutions, but also for their separation from each other by the sulfate method. Experiments on the separation of plutonium from americium were carried out in an 0.19 molar solution of potassium sulfate because the coefficients of distribution of Pu and Am show the greateet difference at this concentration. The results obtained indicate that arter separation of the total plutonium (97-98%), the precipitate is con- taminated with a quantity of americium corresponding to 6-8% of the total amount of this element present initially. Reprecipitation of the precip- itated salt makes it possible to eliminate americium completely from the plutonium. - 16 - Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R000100330001-7 Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R0001 00330001-7 1.. Separation of Plutonium and Other Radioactive Elements by the Method of Combined Crystallization "Concerning the Problem of the Combined Crystallization of Substances With Crystalline Precipitates," by V. I Greben- shchikova, R. V. Bryzgalova, N. B. Chernyavskaya, and V. N. Bobrova; Leningrad, Radiokhimiya, Vol 1, No 1, Jan 59, pp 11-21 The coprecipitation of radioactive elements with crystalline pre- cipitates was studied on the following systems: Group 1. Microcomponents Am21+1, Eu1511, and Y91 - macrocomponents (carriers) lanthanum oxalate La2(C2O1F)3.9H2O and the double lanthanum sul- fate K3La(SO)4)3; Group 2. Microcomponent Pu239 in the tetravalent state - the same macrocomponents as in group 1); Group 3. Microcomponents Y91, Cel41 , La11+0 , and Am241 in the trivalent state and Zr95 and Pu239 in the tetravalent state - macrocompon- ent K2b01j. With respect to the coprecipitation of plutonium in the systems of group 2, it was established that plutonium is enriched on the oxalate carrier at a lower solubility of plutonium oxalate than that of the lan- thanum oxalate and enriched on the potassium-lanthanum sulfate at a higher solubility of potassium-plutonium sulfate than that of the double lanthanum sulfate carrier. The explanation given for the behavior of plutonium in the latter case is that complex ions of the composition Pu(S04)2- rather than Put}+ ions enter into the lattice of the macrocomponent. Since the effective concentration of the complex ion varies with the concentration of K2SOI, one can, by man.pulating the concentration of K2SOk, either pre- cipitate both Am3+ and PuF+ on the potassium-lanthanum sulfate carrier or precipitate Pu11+ selectively, thus separating it from Am3+ . On the basis of the results obtained in the investigation described, it is concluded that determination of the valency of radioelements by the method of isomorphous combined crystallization may lead to erroneous re- sults because of the absence of experimental methods for distinguishing between anomalous mixed crystals and true mixed crystals. In the copre- cipitation of radioelements with complex and double salts under formation of anomalous mixed crystals, the coefficient of the crystallization of the microcomponent assumes a maximum value when the stoichiometric formula of the macrocomponent in the precipitate is the same as that of the microcom- ponent in the solution, independently of differences in the charges of the 17 Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R000100330001-7 Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R0001 00330001-7 2- ions (for instance, when La (S04) 3 ions are replaced by Pu(SOIE) 3 ions).. The method of isomorphous crystallization can be applied for establishing the limits within which complex ions are formed and also for determining the dissociation constants of complex ions of radioactive elements in solu- tion. 22.

The experiments were conducted by two methods: measur- ing changes of the wall temperature and determining temperature gradients in the stream. The content of oxygen in the alloy was found to exert an effect on the boundary heat transfer resistance. Measurements of the coefficient of heat transfer from a nickel tube to mercury showed that a boundary resistance is absent in this case. This- result indicates that the surface material has an influence on the heat transfer. - 19 - Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R000100330001-7 Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R0001 00330001-7 Measurements with a moveable thermocoil made it possible to establish that end effects are absent and that the length of the section of heat stabilization for hydraulically stabilized flow comprises 10 l/d, where )./d is the relatilre length of the section being heated.

Kallistratova, Institute of Physics of the Atmosphere, Academy of Sciences USSR; Moscow Doklady Akademii Nauk SSSR, Vol 125, No 1, 1 Mar 59, pp 69-72 "Scattering occurs in the propagation of sound waves and radio waves in a turbulent atmosphere. Observations in the region of the shadow of those signal levels which greatly exceed the levels determined by diffrac- tion serve as an indirect indication of the scattering of waves. Much has been written on the propagation of ultrashort waves beyond waves beyond the horizon. The analogous phenomenon for 'sound waves was studied by Pridmore-Brown and Ingard. The scattering of sound waves is evidently caused by microheterogeneities in the wind and temperature fields. Pulsa- tions in temperature and humidity are responsible for the scattering of radio waves in the troposphere. The theory of the scattering of sound waves in turbulence was first advanced by A. M. Obukhov and further developed by D. I. Blokhintsev and V. I. Tatarskiy. Actual formulas for the scatter- ing cross section of radio waves were obtained by Silverman on the basis of the current picture of the microstructure of the temperature field, i.e., the 2/3 law of' Kolmogorov and Obukhov." Following the above introduction, the author describes a direct experi- mental study of the scattering of sound in the ground layer of the atmosphere, which was made to test the theory of wave scattering in turbulence. This layer was chosen since its turbulence characteristics could be determined on the basis of meteorological measurements. The study of sound scattering was made in September 1958 at the Tsimlyanskiy station of the Institute of Physics of the Atmosphere. The experimental set-up is described and graphs of the measurements are given. Good agreement was found between the formulas and the measurements. It is concluded that the theory based on the hypothesis of locally homogeneous turbulence correctly describes the relationship observed between scattering intensity and the magnitude of the pulsations. - 26 - Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R000100330001-7 Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R0001 00330001-7 C'c mocnexlt s Pew-~r.ful fuulse `.f:ranr.t'or.riers "Ca,lculat,icn of Pc~~,rerf'i;.l Pulse Transformers Generating Long- Duration Pulses," by F. .N.,tkbanov; Leningrad Electrical Engineering Institute imeni V.

Pentkovskiy, Academician, Academy of Sciences Kazakh SSR; Alma-Ata, Vestnik Akademii Nauk'Kazakh- skoy SSr, No 1, Jan 59, p 101 The Laboratory of Machine and Computer Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences Kazakh SSR obtained two computers in 1958. One was a EV-80-3 computer and the other was the similar IPT-5- The electronic EV-90-3 computer is a high-speed, digital machine. The computer performs the arithmetical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and a series of logical operations necessary for control by a computer process. Data is fed into the machine with the help of standard punched cards. The computer processes 80 punched cards per minute. The results of the computer are also given in the form of perforations either on a new block of punched cards or on the original block of cards. The computer makes it possible to simultaneously process three blocks of cards. The results are obtained in digital form with the help of the T-5 tabulator. The EV-80-3 is convenient for processing a large volume of initial information when the processing*is not mathematically difficult. During the process of calculating, blocks of punched cards may be repeatedly passed through the computer, whereupon the program of calculations may be shortened. The laboratory intends to utilize the computer for mechaniza- tion of calculations concerning natural resources. The electronic computer is al.?eady installed and ready. In the second machine, the IPT-5, it is possible to reproduce and register *processes described by systems of ordinary differential equations with constant or variable coefficients. The equation of the system may be either linear- or nonlinear. The IPT-5 is as yet not installed. - 29 - Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R000100330001-7 Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R0001 00330001-7 it 1..

Boche.k, Laboratory of Con?- troling Muchlnes and Systems., Academy of Sciences USSR; Minsk, Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnylch Zavedeniy, Ener ek;ika, No 3, Mar 59, pp 12-17 The main problem of long-distance electric power transmission is the maintenance of stability of parallel operation for several electric stations spaced a considerable distance from each other, The capability of a digital computer to handle a great number of variable data can be effectively utilized for investigation and calculation of electric power systems. In examining such difficult problems as the determination of losses in complex systems, calculation of current distribution, calculation of short-circuit current, estimation of stability and automatic control of the system, the computers become indispensable., The present work describes a method for selection and proper setting of PF correcting shunt-capacitors by a digital computer to control the power flow in an intricate electric power network with stations spaced a great distance from each other. The M-?2 digital computer of the Laboratory of Controlling Machines and Systems was used in this experiment, The block diagram of the computer program contains four basic parts. The first part serves to form the commands,.. depending on the number of sections in the line and to enter the initial data into the computer. The second part performs the calculation of the first section of the line for given voltages at the beginning and end of the section. The third part performs the calculation of any k-th section. The fourth part performs calculation on a section with power takeoff and for fixed value of voltages at the section. For transmission lines with a great number of junctions, the actual calculation time is but a few seconds. However more time is consumed in recording the results; this is due to the slowness of the present mechanical recording devices.

Prosin; Moscow, Llektrosvyaz', No 5, May 59, pp 32-42 Th', main reason for signal distortion in distant tropospheric propaga- tion of microwaves is the scattering of waves from various layers of troposphere, resulting in signal arrival at differerit.intervals. An investigation was conducted on scattering of microwaves from turbulent ncnhomEgeneities of the troposhere and the resulting distortions for distant transmission. Expressions for the transfer characteristics of the troposphere are derived. A frequency band is determined "for which scatter propagation is possible at a great distance, It was observed that, for scatter propagation the distortions in the leading and trailing edge of the pulse signal are similar to distortion. caused by the passage of a pulse through a filter circuit. This led to an expression for the transfer coefficient of a network which simulates the conditions in the troposphere. A formula is also derived for cross-noises in a multi- channel communication system operating with frequency modulation., As a result of this study, the author concludes that, in order. to increase the troposphere band-pass for the scatter propagation of microwaves, it. is essential to increase the directivity of transmitting and receiving antennas and to line up the axis of the antenna with the plane of the horizon. 43 New High-Power Radio Telescope "New High Resolving Power Radio Telescope," by S, E.

These flat reflecting elements are placed along an are segment (2-fl 800) of 100 m radius and are arranged as if they were touching the surface of an imaginary paraboloid with its axis directed toward the point of observation, while the points of contact lie in the horizontal plane passing through the forcus of the paraboloid. The relatively high accuracy of the segmented reflecting surface of this new telescope is attained through exact positioning of its individual elements. The reflector converts the plane wave into a cylindrical wave with a verticu 1 axis. The cylindrical wave is further converted into a spherical 31 - Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R000100330001-7 Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R0001 00330001-7 wave by a second parabolic cylinder,.

Investiga- t.ions carried out at the Television Chair of the Leningrad Electrical Engineering Institute for Communications (LEIS) and the Phototelegraph Laboratory of the Scientific Research Institute of City and Rural Tele- phone Communications (NIITS) have shown that the use of electronic scanning for the purpose of securing an image makes it possible to greatly speed up the analysis and recording, and to introduce some elements of automa- tion into the process of transmission. The latter is possible because of the continuity of such recording. Factors influencing the nature of recording when scanning with the aid of an electron-ray tube are studied. An analytical expression is d,r.ived describing the character of positive photographic recording on high-sensitivity paper. 32 - Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R000100330001-7 Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R0001 00330001-7 Hi r~h`lfacuum Meter " ~l~I'17 ;';.LL:? un Vacuum M,:! er, fw..'

Frerichs found a convenient method for the production of Cd S crystals. The method devised by Frerichs, which received extensive application, consists in carrying out a reac- tion between vapor of metallic cadmium and hydrogen sulfide in the gas phus., with subsequent crystallization of the cadmium sulfide. The t::r_hrriques for the preparation of single cadmium sulfide crystals have be,:n iniproved since then. Among the methods used at present, the reac- tion of cadmium vapor with sulfur in a stream of argon gives the best results. Single crystals formed by this method have a surface up to ;several square centimeters. Good results are also obtained by using another method of producing the crystals; at the State X-ray-Radiological Institute, large single crystals of cadmium sulfide were obtained by sub- :Li.min, cadmium sulfide luminophore in a stream of nitrogen. Work done by USSR and non-USSR scientists showed that polycrystalline cadmium sulfide pr::parud by special methods has a high photosensitivity approaching. that A' si.ng.Uj crystals. By subjecting calcium : L.t.l.Cide power to pressin and cm) subsequent heat treatment, photoresistances were obtained which exhibit :i. high over-,a1.1 photosensitivity.

Although the individual methods produce profiles with a sufficiently high efficiency, it is stated further, it would be desirable to have a universal method of profiling which would be sufficiently simple and guarantee that losses are slight. A universal rnethod for profiling turbine blades in subsonic flow is presented and an example is worked. 56, inamical Rigidity of Two-,and Three-Bearing Rotors "Determining the Dynamical Rigidity of Rotors by the Method of Expanding the Dynamical Bending into a Series in Terms of Characteristic Forms," by L.

Research conducted to find the best design for such a nozzle is described. The study was made during 1957 and 1958 at the Scientific Research Laboratory of Gas Turbine Engines, Kazan' Aviation Institute Results showed that the method is feasible and that the best nozzle would have two rows of openings at an angle of 90 degrees to the main flow and arranged in a checkerboard pattern. Any angle greater than 90 degrees caused a considerable loss in thrust. 61. Design of Centrifugal Compressor Given "On a Design for a High-Pressure Centrifugal Compressor," by V. A.

No 1, 1959, pp 125-1-33 It is stated that a considerable decrease in the ratio of the weight of a tank to the weight of the gas contained in it can be achieved by winding several layers of a thin band or wire around a thin-walled cylinder. It is noted that, until now, only indications have appeared in the litera- ture as to how such a tank should be calculated. Stresses in the wall of the cylinder and in the wire winding are determined for the general case. Axial stresses in the walls of the cylinder caused by gas pressure on the bottom of the tank are taken into account. The theoretical results for a particular, case concerning stresses on the inner surface of the cylinder wall are compared with experimental data. 63: Bending of Cylindrical Shells With Large Openings Studied On the Action of Cylindrical Shells With Large Openings, by S.

Its purpose is the construction of subterranean pipeleneso "The head of the shell-shaped device has a burner or jet to which liquid fuel and air are conducted. The device, which is secured by a, cable to a tractor, moves underground. The hot flame projected from the burner fuses the ground, with the result that a large cylindrical opening is left behind the "mole." This cylindrical opening is suitable for use as a water conduit; it is neither washed out nor does it collapse. The pipe... less water conduit, which has been built in this manner is capable of serving for tens of years, The new invention will considerably facilitate the irrigation of "bogar" lands (lands that are not flooded) which are suit- able for gardens and pastures." - 4J - Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R000100330001-7 Approved For Release 1999/09/23 : CIA-RDP82-00141 R0001 00330001-7 V.
