District-Level Data on the Quality of Sugar Beet in Western Siberia for the Period 1916–1920
This paper presents district-level data from experimental sugar-beet plantings conducted across Western Siberia and adjacent regions in 1916 to 1920, with attention to vegetation conditions, root quality, and yields relevant to the possible development of a Siberian beet-sugar industry. The author d…
Decomposition of Polybasic Aluminum Sulfate Salts by Cotton Fiber
This study examines how cotton fiber decomposes and fixes polybasic aluminum sulfate mordants, with attention to mercerization, oiling, repeated mordanting, steaming, washing, and mordant concentration. Using prepared mercerized and unmercerized calico samples, the author quantifies fixed alumina by…
Gold refining by the Miller process
This article examines the use of Miller’s chlorine process for refining low-grade gold alloys, especially small batches for which acid parting and electrolytic refining are technically or economically inconvenient. It explains the chemical basis of selective chlorination, describes practical furnace…

Irreversible Adsorption of Ba by Silicic Acid and Its Relation to Reversible Adsorption
This paper examines whether the barium retained by silicic acid after washing is related to ordinary reversible adsorption or represents a distinct process. Air-dried silicic acid was contacted with solutions of several barium salts, and barium uptake was measured both from concentration changes in …
Relationship Between Electrical Conductivity and Internal Friction of Electrolytically Conducting Solids
This paper proposes a relation between the electrical conductivity of electrolytically conducting solids and their internal friction, arguing that conductivity changes with temperature through both ionic dissociation and ionic mobility. By treating the resistance to ion motion as proportional to vis…
On the Influence of Temperature on the Internal Friction of Solids
This paper examines how temperature affects the internal friction of solids, emphasizing that the viscosity of metals cannot be treated as a constant because it depends on the twisting rate and on structural changes caused by heating and deformation. Kuznetsov develops qualitative expectations for c…
Determination of the Vapor Pressure of Some Acids of the Fatty Series by the Electrical Conductivity Method
This study presents an indirect electrical conductivity method for determining small saturated vapor pressures of volatile electrolytes, applied to formic, acetic, and propionic acids. A constant air stream was passed over the acid and then through water in a thermostated conductivity vessel, allowi…
Systematic Course of Qualitative Analysis of Anions
This paper proposes a systematic procedure for the qualitative analysis of common anions, modeled on the group separation methods used for cations. After reviewing and criticizing earlier schemes by Abegg and Gerz, Milobędzki, Noyes, and Karaoglanov and Dimitrow, the author develops a six group clas…
Critique of Methods for Testing Steam Boilers
This paper critiques conventional methods for testing steam boilers and argues that heat-balance measures based only on calorific value and evaporation do not adequately represent the boiler’s capacity to produce useful work. After correcting a historical claim about Watt’s steam pressures, the auth…
Static and Dynamic Calculation of a Stand
Standard Safety Catch in Siberian Mines from the Standpoint of Hoisting Safety
This paper examines the standard spring-actuated safety catch used on hoisting cages in Siberian mines, focusing on whether it can reliably stop a cage after a hoisting rope breaks. It develops a mechanical analysis of the device, including forces during normal hoisting and lowering, cage accelerati…
Quenching of Tool Steel in Warm Water
This study examines how the temperature of quenching water affects the degree of hardening in eutectic carbon tool steel, comparing warm-water quenching with conventional cold-water quenching followed by tempering. Specimens of annealed medium-hard Zlatoust steel were heated to about 760 degrees Cel…
Four-Link Spatial Mechanism with Cylindrical Joints Whose Axes Are Neither Parallel nor Intersect at a Single Point, and Its Investigation
Laws of Residual Deformations
This paper investigates residual plastic deformation of metals under static compression, motivated by constants arising in impact compression analysis. Using compression tests on several metals with varied specimen height to diameter ratios and controlled loading intervals, it examines the effects o…
Some Questions of Solid State Physics
This article surveys selected open problems in solid-state physics in light of the emerging electrical and X-ray based understanding of crystal structure. Kuznetsov argues that phenomena such as internal friction, plastic flow, strength, relaxation, surface energy, and magnetic effects on metals sho…
Some Salt Lakes of Kokshetau Uyezd
This paper reports field observations and chemical analyses of several mineralized lakes near the Borovoe resort in Kokchetav Uyezd, examined in 1923 as part of a balneological expedition assessing salt and mud lakes for possible resort use. It describes the physical setting, mud occurrence, accessi…
Relationships and Contacts of Igneous Rocks with Limestones in the Area of the Bago-Borigchen Copper Ore Deposit in Northern Mongolia
This paper examines the geological relations between igneous intrusions and limestones in the Bago-Borigchen copper ore area of northern Mongolia, using material collected during a 1913 traverse by M. A. Usov. Shakhov applies petrographic microscopy, universal optical mineral determination, and Rosi…
Phases of Effusive Rocks
This paper examines the longstanding petrographic distinction between ancient and young effusive rocks and argues that age alone is an inadequate basis for their classification. Drawing on the history of petrographic nomenclature and on physicochemical ideas of phase stability, it proposes that effu…
On New Laws of Feldspar-Quartz Intergrowths of the Graphic Type
This paper examines granophyric feldspar, quartz intergrowths in a quartz augite diorite from the Semei-tau region, focusing on whether their crystallographic relations differ from the written structures known in pegmatites. Using universal-stage optical measurements of anorthoclase grains and quart…

Cathode Tubes, Their Theory and Principal Applications
Despite the great diversity of applications of cathode tubes, only three of their principal properties are usually used: detector, amplifying, and generating action. The exposition of these principal properties constitutes the subject of the present article.

An Essay on the Theory of Light Quanta
The work under review constitutes a highly ingenious and interesting attempt to unite the wave and corpuscular theories of light, whose extreme representatives at present are Einstein on the one hand and Bohr on the other.
