 elected to the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences as a Corresponding 

 Member. He has been awarded the Order of Lenin and other 

 medals. 



Gerasimov' s main works deal with the study of thermo- 

 dynamic properties of non-ferrous metals.

 State University. 



Ginzburg' s investigations are in the theory of radio propa- 

 gation in the ionosphere, radio astronomy, the origin of cosmic 

 rays, ferroelectric phenomena, the theory of super conductivity, 

 the theory of elementary particles, and some questions of 

 optics.
