Description: 
The Ural Polytechnic Institute was founded in 1926. Then know as 
the Sverdlovsk Industrial Institute, its name was changed to the present one 
in 19h8, 
The Institute is particularly strong in both ferrous and nonferrous 
metallurgical research, cooperating greatly with the industries of the Ural 
region. 
The Physical-Mathematical Faculty has a 15-mev betatron. Studies 
of radiation effects on living organisms, on semiconductors, and on new 
medicines have been conducted. A 27-mev (alpha-particle energy) cyclotron 
is used for studies in radiobiology, radiation chemistry, solid-state physics, 
and neutron dosimetry. An EM-3 electron microscope is used to investigate 
ferrites, crystal growth, structure of copper and nickel sulfide films, etc. 
Research in plasma physics is being conducted. In addition, it has developed 
new extracting methods for noble metals and rare and dispersed metals. It 
has studied vacuum-metallurgy procedures for the production of vanadium and 
columbium. 
The Faculty of Chemical Technology of Fuels has performed outstanding 
research in phenols, in ammonia and pyridine recovery, in catalytic oxidation 
of phenanthrene-anthracene fractions, in the production of high-quality coke, 
and in anthracite and brown coals. 
The Institute publishes a Trudy and grants Candidate's and Doctor's 
Degrees.
