Description: 
As a research facility and laboratory for Gor'kiy State University, 
GIFTI is concerned with the design and construction of scientific apparatus, 
such as a laboratory electroviscosimeter, a laboratory vacuum gas furnace, 
an instrument for recording roll and trim of ships, and a camera for high- 
and low-temperature X-ray photography. A primary activity at this institute 
is computer design, programming, and coding mathematics. The GIFTI computer 
was especially designed at the Institute to handle problems in the machine- 
building industry. The computer group is also working on computer applica- 
tions in industrial management, for example, production scheduling and work 
control, costing, and accounting. 
Metallurgists associated with GIFTI have performed notable research 
on carbide phases in steel. Examples of specific investigations are graph- 
itization processes in silicon steel, carbide phases during tempering of 
nickel steel, isothermal decomposition of residual austenite in alloy steels, 
and effect of plastic deformation on carbide phases. 
Other fields of investigations are relay control systems, switching 
systems, photodielectric effect in phosphors, noise in radio tubes, vibra- 
tions during drilling, and theory of oscillations.
