This study examines how multiple substituent radicals jointly affect optical rotation, using literature comparisons and new polarimetric measurements on tartaric acid diamide and its dibenzoyl derivative. The authors calculate additive expectations from molecular rotations of parent and monosubstitu…
This paper examines how cyclization affects molecular optical rotation and evaluates the question through the author’s theory of meso-structure in organic compounds. Using about 135 comparisons drawn from an index of optically active substances, it introduces a coefficient of cyclization to compare …
This paper develops a method for constructing drying rate curves for sugar beet pulp under varied drying conditions, motivated by the need to calculate multi-chamber dryers with intermediate air heating. Using experiments on beet plates, it examines how surface area changes during drying as a functi…
This paper addresses the lack of objective and standardized methods for determining the particle size of flour and other bulk products, criticizing conventional sieve-number descriptions as imprecise and insufficient for comparing heterogeneous materials. It proposes graphical characterization by or…
This paper presents a method for objectively determining flour granularity using Balakshin’s farinogranometer, developed in response to the ambiguity and inaccuracy of tactile assessment and simple sieve residue tests. It describes the apparatus, its logarithmically arranged 15-sieve set, and the co…
This paper addresses the graphical division of the theoretical indicator diagram of a double-expansion steam engine under the condition that the initial forces on the high-pressure and low-pressure pistons are equal. It derives the relevant pressure and stroke relation and proposes three graphical c…
This paper examines methods for calculating high-pressure steam turbines, focusing on efficiency losses associated with blade-channel hydraulics, disk friction, clearances, leakage, steam temperature, and stage design. Drawing on contemporary experimental results and design practices from Brno, Brow…
This article presents a graphical method for decomposing periodic curves, especially alternating-current waveforms, into sinusoidal components. Starting from finite-sum approximations to Fourier coefficients, it replaces arithmetic evaluation by the transfer of measured ordinates onto preconstructed…
This paper examines the behavior of iron cores subjected simultaneously to direct and alternating magnetic fields, with particular attention to the reduction of the constant magnetic flux by alternating current. It develops a theoretical explanation using nonlinear magnetization relations and harmon…
This paper investigates whether a cylindrical bar under axial tension or compression retains a uniformly scaled cross-section, as assumed in elementary elasticity, or develops periodic transverse deformation. Trapeznikov combines measurements of residual elongations and necking in metal specimens wi…
This commemorative biographical article surveys the first twenty-five years of scientific and pedagogical activity of Professor Nikolai V. Gutovsky, rector of the Siberian Technological Institute. It traces his education, early industrial experience, advanced study in Germany, research on iron-carbo…

In the manufacture of steel and iron products, it is often highly important to know the degree of homogeneity of these products and the presence in them of various kinds of defects (cracks, cavities, inclusions, etc.). For this purpose, the so-called magnetic analysis has recently begun to be applie…

A paper presented at the Faraday Society conference devoted to the nature of cohesive forces.
For convenience of exposition, we shall adopt a definite wave viewpoint, for example the de Broglie viewpoint, and consider which experimental facts argue for the existence of phase waves. In other words, we shall consider phenomena from the field of electronic phenomena that are poorly explained, o…
This article is, with some modifications, the address delivered by Millikan at the meeting of the British Association in Leeds on September 2, 1927.
The twelfth Guthrie Lecture, delivered on February 25, 1927.
The structure of the methane molecule is of particular importance for the whole of organic chemistry, since it is connected with fundamental concepts concerning the carbon atom, and the application of new research methods to the study of the methane molecule has led to very promising results.
