In the field of aerodynamics, investigators have studied Laval 
nozzles, flow problems, and wing-profile problems. Studies in the field of 
mechanics include theory of bimetallic Shells, cavitation flow around a 
plate, and general studies of stress, strength, and plasticity. 
Research in chemistry covers fields such as electrolytes, structure 
of organic compounds, deformation of polymers, catalytic reduction of 
aromatic nitro compounds, organic compounds of Phosphorus, spectral analysis 
of alloys, and anodic oxidation of copper. Materials that have been studied 
include vinyl-tin compounds, acrylic and methacrylic esters, phosphinic 
acids, and lead complexes. A method for determining thicknesses of galvanic 
films was developed at the University. 
Special research facilities associated with the University are 
the Scientific-Research Institute of Chemistry imeni A. M. Butlerov and the 
Astronomical Observatory imeni V. P. Engel'gardt. 
The academic program of the University includes courses in 
geological surveying and prospecting for mineral deposits, geology and 
exploration of oil and gas deposits, geophysical prospecting, radiophysics 
and electronics, astrogeodesy, meteorology, soil science and agrochemistry, 
Jurisprudence, Russian language and literature, native language and litera- 
ture of peoples of the U.S.S.R., history, mathematics, mechanics, physics, 
chemistry, botany, zoology, and physical geography.
