Machine Tool Design Vol. 3 by N. Acherkan ( Ed.); N. Acherkan; V. Push; N. Ignatyev; V. Kudnov

Posted on October 16, 2026 by The Mitr

Volume 3 of the fundamental work “Machine Tool Design” contains Part Five. The complete work is to be published in four volumes.

Part Five deals with machine tool design proper. It is a comprehensive scientific treatment of the subject and is a revised and complemented version of a previous Russian edition, which has become a reliable reference book for all Soviet machine tool engineers and has been translated into French.

Such questions as performance criteria, basic design data, principal specifications, and the development of the kinematic scheme of a new machine tool are dealt with in great detail.

Design recommendations are given, as well as the necessary calculation data for the basic elements of machine tools—speed and feed gearboxes, stepless drives, rapid traverse mechanisms, spindles and spindle bearings, mechanisms for rectilinear motion, small displacement and periodic motion, reversing devices, beds, columns, tables and other housing-type components, slideways and antifriction ways.

Of great interest are the chapters on machine tool control systems and dynamic calculations and analysis in machine tool design.

Part Five was written by Professor N. Acherkan, D.Sc. (Eng.), Professor V. Push, D.Sc. (Eng.), N. Ignatyev, Candidate of Eng. Sc., and V. Kudnov, Candidate of Eng. Sc., all from the faculty of the Machine Tool Engineering Institute in Moscow.

Machine Tool Design Vol 2 by N. Acherkan ( Ed.); A. Fedotyonok; V. Yermakov

Posted on October 15, 2026 by The Mitr

Volume 2 of the fundamental work Machine Tool Design contains Parts Three and Four. The complete work is to be published in four volumes. Part Three deals with the kinematics of machine tools. This branch of machine tool design has been strictly systematized by the author and is set forth with exceptional clarity. The kinematic structures of many different types of machine tools, including the most complex gear-cutting machines, are analysed by methods developed in the text, which take into consideration the interrelations between the workpiece to be produced in the given machine tool, the cutting tool to be used, the selected processing method, and the kinematic structure of the machine tool.

Part Three was written by Professor A. Fedotyonok, D. Sc. (Eng.), whose investigations in this field are well known to all Soviet machine tool designers. Part Four takes up hydraulic drives of machine tools. It contains all the theoretical and practical data required in the application of fluid power and control systems to machine tools. Part Four was written by Associate Professor V. Yermakov, Candidate of Eng. Sc., who lectures on the subject at the Machine Tool Engineering Institute in Moscow.

Prof. Acherekan graduated from the Warsaw University in 1914, where he majored in mathematics. He received a gold medal for work done in the university. In 1920, he received a second degree from the mechanical engineering department of the Petrograd Polytechnic Institute.

The present work was translated from the considerably revised and recently published second edition, which includes all the latest achievements in world machine tool practice. The earlier edition has become an indispensable handbook for Soviet designers. Therefore, the publishers feel that this work should be of great value to engineers engaged in the design, manufacture, and maintenance of machine tool equipment. It can also be used to advantage by the students of engineering institutes majoring in Process Engineering, Metal-Cutting Machine Tools, or Cutting Tool Design.

Machine Tool Design Volume 1 by N. Acherekan, D.Sc. (General Editor); N. Lisitsyn; A. Gavryushin; O. Trifonov; A. Kudryashov

Posted on October 14, 2026 by The Mitr

This is the first volume of the fundamental work Machine Tool Design, which is to be published in four volumes. Volume I deals with the basic machine tools and special machine tools used in cutting tool production. The classification, type and size range, and designation of machine tools, employed in Soviet practice, are given in detail, together with the types of motion found in machine tools. Metal cutting lathes, turret lathes, vertical boring machines, automatic and semi-automatic lathes, milling machines, and many other types of machine tools are described. Special attention has been given to machine tools designed for the production of cutting tools. These include general- and single-purpose semi-automatic precision thread-grinding machines, automatic and semi-automatic tracer-controlled lathes with hydraulic controls, jig boring machines, and specialized machine tools, as well as automatic transfer machines for cutting tool production.

Part One was written by Nicholas Lisitsyn, Alexander Gavryushin, and Oleg Trifonov, Candidates of Engineering Sciences. Part Two by Prof. Alexander Knbryashov, Candidate of Engineering Sciences.

इवान बेल्किन की कहानियाँ – अ. से. पुश्किन (Collected Stories In Hindi by Alexander Pushkin)

Posted on October 13, 2026 by The Mitr

रूसी लेखक अलेक्सान्द्र पुश्किन की पाँच कहानियों का संग्रह है। इसमें एक काल्पनिक सम्पादकीय परिचय है, जिसमें पुश्किन बेल्किन की कहानियों की शब्दशः प्रस्तुति का दिखावा करते हैं, जबकि ये कहानियाँ दरअसल उनकी ही हैं। वे बताते हैं कि ये सभी कहानियाँ हाल ही में मृत जमींदार इवान पेट्रोविच बेल्किन को विभिन्न लोगों द्वारा सुनाई गयी थीं, जिन्हें यहाँ प्रस्तुत किया गया है। पुश्किन बताते हैं कि बेल्किन एक दिलचस्प और रहस्यमय व्यक्ति था, यहाँ तक कि जिस महिला के लिए उसने अपनी सम्पत्ति छोड़ी थी, वह भी उससे कभी नहीं मिली थी। बेल्किन का पसंदीदा शौक कहानियों को इकट्ठा करना और सुनाना था। संकलन की पाँच कहानियाँ पुश्किन की सर्वश्रेष्ठ, क्लासिकीय और बेहद दिलचस्प कहानियाँ हैं।

तस्वीर (पीटर्सबर्ग की कहानियों से) – निकोलाई गोगोल (Stories And Novellas In Hindi by Nikolai Gogol)

Posted on October 12, 2026 by The Mitr

उन्नीसवीं शताब्दी के महान रूसी गद्यकारों के अग्रज निकोलाई गोगोल (1809-1852) विश्व-साहित्य के अमिट हस्ताक्षर हैं। रूसी साहित्य में काल्पनिक, रूमानी और असाधारण घटनाओं व पात्रों के आदर्शीकरण और आलंकारिक चित्रण की जो पुरानी परिपाटी चली आ रही थी, उसे पूरी तरह नकारते हुए गोगोल ने अपनी रचनाओं में सामाजिक जीवन की सच्ची और स्वाभाविक छवि अंकित की।

Men Vs. Cancer by B. Shubin; Yu. Gritsman

Posted on October 9, 2026 by The Mitr

Cancer is one of the most acute problems that exist in world biology and medicine. It is being tackled by a vast number of scientists and practitioners. Two specialists in the field, both Doctors of Medical Science, wrote this book. Complex questions are made more comprehensible because they are dealt with from the point of view of the founders of different directions in oncology. Achievements in this field, along with the problems still existing, are described, and the numerous legends and myths are countered by true stories about the successful treatment and prevention of this formidable disease. The book is intended both for a wide circle of readers and for medical specialists interested in the problem of cancer.

Science Vs. Cancer by Yu. Gritsman

Posted on October 8, 2026 by The Mitr

The book enters into the series of contributions devoted to the problems of cancer. In language accessible even to those who are not professionally concerned with oncological studies, and with the help of numerous examples from the history of medicine, Professor Yu. Gritsman acquaints the readers with some of the major and most recent achievements in this domain of science. He also devotes significant space to the criticism of the spurious methods of treating this disease, which are advocated by the pseudo-scientists whose practices continue to cause considerable harm to patients.

As its predecessor, Men vs. Cancer by B. Shubina and Yu. Gritsman (English translation, Mir Publishers, 1987), this book will undoubtedly find the appreciation of many readers who will cover its pages with no minor interest.
