Description: 
This institute is engaged in physics research applicable to agri- 
culture. Among the many projects carried on at the Institute is research 
on the light physiology of plants, soil physics, and the use of semicon- 
ductors, polymers, and radioactive substances in agriculture. 
Many instruments have been designed by this institute, such as a 
computing machine for the remote measurement of humidity, an automatic 
device to measure evaporation in the fields, remote thermometers, a semi- 
conductor refrigerator for cooling milk, and a computing machine to fore- 
east frost 24 hours in advance. The Institute grants the Candidate's 
Degree.

Deseription: 
This institute was organized in 1919 as the Moscow Technical 
Institute. A five-year program in military engineering is offered. The 
Institute trains military officers for the technical branch of the Soviet 
Air Force, gives a military background to aircraft and missile designers, 
and updates high-command officers in their technical fields. Soviet 
cosmonauts are trained here for space flight.
