NIKOL'SKII, BORIS PETROVICH (Physical Chemist) 



B. P. Nikol'skii was born October 14, 1900. After graduat- 

 ing from Leningrad University in 1924, he worked there and in 

 1939 became professor. In 1953 he was elected Corresponding 

 Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. 



Nikol'skii investigated processes of ion exchange between 

 aqueous solutions and various solid systems — soils, ionites, 

 and others. He developed a theory on these processes, which is 

 used in ion-exchange chromatography. He also proposed an 

 ion-exchange theory for a glass electrode. 



As of 1961, Nikol'skii was Director of the Institute of Me- 

 chanics of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences.

NOVIKOV, IVAN IVANOVICH (Physicist) 



I. I. Novikov was born January 29, 1916. In 1930 he gradu- 

 ated from Moscow University, and worked for scientific organi- 

 zations of the Soviet Navy from 1940 to 1948. In 1950 he be- 

 came a professor at the Moscow Institute of Physical Engineer- 

 ing of which he was made Director in 1956. From 1954 to 1957, 

 he was assistant to the Chief Academic Secretary of the 

 U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences Presidium. He was Editor-in- 

 Chief of the journal "Atomic Energy" in 1956, and since 1957 

 has been the Director of the Institute of Thermal Physics of the 

 Siberian branch of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. In 1958, 

 he was elected a Corresponding Member of the U.S.S.R. Acade- 

 my of Sciences. He has been awarded a Stalin Prize. 



Novikov has studied thermodynamics of gases, gas dynamics, 

 heat transfer, use of the theory of similarity in the study of 

 thermophysical properties of substances, investigation of the 

 thermodynamic properties of heat carriers and atomic energy.
