Description: 
Creep studies and analysis of creep curves are of interest to the 
Institute. Formation of deep faults in the Earth's crust, graphic deter- 
mination of higher derivatives of gravitational and magnetic potentials of 
plane fields, potential fields in magnetic and gravitational prospecting, 
interpretation of gravitational anomalies, and potential theory in applied 
geophysics also are of interest. Also studied were the use of high-speed 
photography to study phenomena in solid-state physics, loss of plasticity, 
role of critical parallels in circulation of the atmosphere, film-type 
Hall-effect probes, breaking rocks by explosions, vibro-arce welding of worn- 
out parts of coal-mining machinery, crystals of Quartz in coal, and cutting 
of ore in deep horizontal apertures. 
The Institute publishes an Izvestiya and grants the Candidate's 
Degree. It offers courses in mining electromechanics, mining machinery, 
economics and organization of mining industry, geology and exploration of 
mineral deposits, geophysical prospecting, hydrogeology and engineering 
geology, techniques of exploring mineral deposits, mine surveying, mining, 
minerals beneficiation and ore treatment, and mining construction.
