This review reports on the advances achieved in these fields of the natural sciences in connection with the discovery of the heavy isotope of hydrogen. We shall see that not only is the study of the properties of the heavy hydrogen isotope of interest, but that its applications as an auxiliary tool …
In this article, we will focus on the formation of nuclei, limiting ourselves to one of the most interesting and, in practical terms, the most important—and therefore most extensively studied—cases: the formation of crystalline nuclei in liquids.
M. A. Rosenstiehl. Treatise on Color from the Physical, Physiological, and Aesthetic Point of View.
From the reports presented at the 10th German Physical and Mathematical Congress in Bad Pyrmont (September 10–15, 1934).

This study examines whether the electromotive force generated during reaction with sodium can be used to assess the activity of unsaturated organic compounds containing double or triple bonds. A broad series of hydrocarbons, aldehydes, ketones, esters, nitriles, nitro compounds, and pyridine type ba…
This paper examines iron-ore deposits in the Lower Tunguska region, comparing them with related Angara-Ilim contact deposits associated with trap intrusions. Using field observations, chemical analyses, specific-gravity measurements, and reflected-light microscopy, the authors identify the principal…
This paper presents a microscopic study of iron ores and associated rocks from the Kailan, Ditur, and Kimkan deposits in the Far Eastern Territory, focusing on mineral composition, textures, paragenesis, and ore genesis. The study identifies a transition from predominantly hematite ores at Kailan th…
The study examines how molecular size, branching, and reaction medium affect the oxidation of saturated monocarboxylic acids by potassium permanganate. Reaction rates were measured titrimetrically for acids from formic through decanoic acid, including several branched isomers, in neutral salt soluti…
Based on a 1931 geological and prospecting survey, this paper describes the orography, hydrography, stratigraphy, tectonics, magmatism, and mineral indications of the Middle Anuy region in northwestern Altai. It argues that the area is built chiefly from Lower Silurian green-violet metamorphic rocks…
This paper describes a redesign of a small Geofizika theodolite intended to serve both surface surveying and mine surveying, where steep or vertical workings make a central telescope impractical. The proposed instrument allows the same telescope to be mounted either centrally or eccentrically by add…
This paper critiques the prevailing ash-balance method for determining heat losses in steam boiler tests, especially the loss from mechanical incompleteness of combustion, which is difficult to measure accurately because carryover samples are hard to make representative. It proposes an alternative t…
This article develops a calculation theory for iron resistors used as current limiters in power-station circuits, especially for limiting high short-circuit currents in low-power branches connected to powerful busbars. It derives thermal design equations for resistor mass, strip dimensions, permissi…
This article addresses the practical problem of determining natural torsional vibration frequencies in shaft systems of piston engine power plants, especially systems with multiple equal engine masses and one or two large flywheels. It develops a graphical method based on reducing the inertial effec…
This article develops a theoretical account of the working process of a hay mower, focusing on the forces and work associated with the cutting mechanism. It decomposes the mower’s tractive effort into cutting, rolling, and finger bar resistance, then models knife motion, the line of shearing, and th…
This article addresses the practical selection of cutting conditions for constant-power drilling machines, with the aim of maximizing productivity without overloading the machine, feed mechanism, spindle drive, or drill. It develops analytical relations linking drill diameter, feed, cutting speed, t…
This paper analyzes the balancing of connecting rod and crank mechanisms in harvesting machines, where practical treatments of connecting rod mass distribution and counterweighting were inconsistent. It derives approximate kinematic and dynamic formulas for the crank, connecting rod, and knife, then…
This paper examines the calibration of No. 25 I-beams, focusing on how unequal deformation in different parts of a roll pass can overstress the metal and increase defective output. Through three worked calibration examples, it compares the Kirchberg method, the Tafel principle, and a proposed method…
This paper analyzes the post-buckling deformation of a hinged column under axial compression, with attention to the end shortening that occurs after the load exceeds the Euler critical force. Starting from the exact elastica equation, it expresses deflection, end settlement, load, and bending moment…
Report at the 10th German Congress of Physicists.
R. A. Housten. Light and Colors.
In this note we shall give a very brief overview of the content of the conference papers. The brevity of the overview is necessary because the Kharkov conference (unlike, for example, the Leningrad nuclear conference in September 1933, at which predominantly review-type reports were presented) was d…
Report at the colloquium of the German State Physical-Technical Institute, published in the journal “Physikalische Zeitschrift” 35, 206, 1934; translated by N. N. Malov. This review outlines, in general terms and as briefly as possible, the most important information on the generation, propagation, …
