Description: 
This university has recently established a computation center to 
train specialists in the field of electronic computers. Research studies 
described in published literature focus on mathematics, plasma physics, 
elasticity, crystallography, and metallurgy, particularly plastic deformation 
and the working properties of steel and nonferrous metals, such as aluminum 
and nickel. The University grants the Candidate's Degree, and publishes a 
Trudy.

Description: 
This institute is a research facility of Irkutsk University. One 
of its research aims is to investigate the extraction of liquid fuel from 
coal. A project related to this objective concerns the synthesis and con- 
version of vinyl-aryl ethers. Work on alkali-metal salts has included the 
luminescent properties of sodium chloride crystals electrolytically activated 
with nickel. 
The Institute publishes an Izvestiya.
