the transition metals and oxygen-group metalloids. Crystalline and elec- 
trical properties of copper alloys have been examined. Other metals studies 
considered heat-treatment effects on various steels, corrosion resistance 
of electrolytic zinc, high-temperature oxidation of columbium, plastic 
deformation, and electrocapillary phenomena of alloys such as bismuth- 
cadimum, tellurium-thallium, and tellurium-gold. An extensive investigation 
covered the corrosion of iron in molten electrolytes. In a more theoretical 
vein, investigators at the University have inquired into theories of magnetic 
susceptibility and thermal conductivity of semiconductors, and interactions 
between electrons in crystals. Improved analytical methods for metals have 
been developed at the University along with instruments for measuring optical 
constants of metals. 
In chemistry, studies have been directed toward areas such as ion- 
exchange resins, onium compounds, polyvinyl alcohol, polarography, and 
packing density of chains of solid polymers. In mathematics, studies have 
included difference and differential equations, functions of complex varia- 
bles, integral equations, dynamic systems, and split and semi-groups. 
The University maintains an astronomical observatory which has 
studied noctilucent clouds and has participated in photographic observations 
of artificial earth satellites. 
Courses offered here include Russian language and literature, 
history, mathematics, mechanics, physics, chemistry, botany, zoology, and 
journalism.
