Vector and Tensor Analysis with Applications – Borisenko, Tarapov

Posted on February 5, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Vector And Tensor Analysis With Applications by A. I. Borisenko; I. E. Tarapov.

About the book

The present book is a freely revised and restyled version of the third edition of the Russian original (Moscow, 1966). As in other volumes of this series, I have not hesitated to introduce a number of pedagogical and mathematical improvements that occurred to me in the course of doing the translation. 1 have also added a brief Bibliography, confined to books in English dealing with approximately the same topics, at about the same level.

The book was translated from Russian by Richard Silverman and was published in 1968.

Topics in Theory of Surfaces in Elliptic Space – Pogorelov

Posted on February 4, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Topics In Theory Of Surfaces In Elliptic Space by A. V. Pogorelov.

About the book

This book deals with the solution of a number of problems in the theory of surfaces in elliptic space,through consideration of isometric surfaces. The principal method of investigation is comparison of a pair of isometric figures in elliptic space with a pair of isometric figures in a Euclidean space which corresponds geodesically to the elliptic space. This enables us to transpose the main difficulties in the proof to Euclidean space, where they can be overcome by the appropriate theorems.

The book was translated from Russian by Rogey and Royer Inc. and was Richard Sacksteder edited by published in 1961.

Handbook Of Thermionic Properties – Fomenko, Samsonov (Ed)

Posted on February 3, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Handbook Of Thermionic Properties by V. S. Fomenko, further edited by G. V. Samsonov .

About the book

The current rapid development of cathode electronics has led to extensive investigations of the emission properties of chemical elements and their compounds. This expansion of research is aimed at the continual refinement of data already available and the steady widening of the circle of materials under investigation. These events have necessitated a whole series of additions and changes in this handbook, even though the original Russian edition was published only in 1964.
Every effort has been made to include all available information on each element or compound. Particular attention has been given to bringing the sections on borides and carbides of the transition and rare metals up to date, since interest in these compounds has recently been fanned by their widespread use as cathode materials. A whole new section on the thermionic properties of aluminides has been introduced.

The list of pertinent literature has been augmented by new contributions published in the years 1963-1965, as well as some earlier publications that had escaped notice in the Russian edition.

It is the author’s hope that the handbook will prove of great value to American readers interested in the emission properties of the elements and compounds, and that it will contribute to the further development of research in this promising and most timely field of electronics.

The book was translated from Russian and was published in 1966.

Nonconservative Problems Of The Theory Of Elastic Stability – Bolotin

Posted on February 2, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Nonconservative Problems Of The Theory Of Elastic Stability by V. V. Bolotin.

About the book

The present book is devoted to the study of the stability of elastic systems under the action of non-conservative forces. It is well known that for such systems the usual methods of the theory of elastic stability, which are based on an examination of forms of equilibrium close to the undisturbed form, are in general no longer applicable. Here we need to use more general methods and more involved means of investigation.
The book contains an introduction and four chapters. The first chapter covers general problems, their formulation and methods of solution. It is based on a paper read by the author at the Third All-Soviet Mathematical Conference in Moscow in 1956. The remaining chapters are devoted to applications. The second chapter considers the stability
of elastic systems under the action of non-conservative forces which during the process of loss of stability behave according to some pre-determined law (so called “follower” forces). The third chapter considers the stability of high-speed rotating elastic rotors under the action of various disturbing forces, for example, forces of internal friction, hydrodynamic and electric forces, etc. The fourth chapter deals with problems of stability of elastic systems in a high-speed gas flow; particular attention is paid to the problem of supersonic flutter of elastic plates and shells. A number of problems are considered in non-linear form, which enables the behavior of the system to be studied after loss of stability. It will be seen that all these problems are of considerable interest in present day mechanical, aeronautical and rocket engineering.

The book was translated from Russian by T. K. Lusher and edited by G. Herrmann and was published in 1963.

Soviet Sputniks

Posted on January 31, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Soviet Sputniks. This book is based on articles by Ambartsumyan; Blagonravov; E. Blinov; S. Vemov; K. Gilzin; Professor Dobronravov; S. Dolginov; P. Isakov; A. Karpenko; Dr. V. Krasovsky; Y. Krylov; Professor Romadin; V. Parin; N. Pushkov; Professor Predvoditelcv; Professor Pobedonostsev; Professor Pokrovsky; Academician Topchiev; A. Shternfeld

About the book

On October 4. 1957, a truly history-making event took place—the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial Earth satellite. Less than a month later it was followed by Sputnik If, its younger but much bigger brother.

The launching of the first sputnik was a great triumph of man over nature. Man had surmounted the physical barriers which have kept him out of cosmic space; he had overcome the force of gravity and the resistance of the atmosphere. However, there still remained the biological barrier. Could a living organism endure the conditions of space beyond the Earth’s atmosphere? The second sputnik furnished the answer to that question. This was the first step toward man’s travel in cosmic space. This booklet is based on material published in the Soviet press in connection with the launchings of the sputniks.

The book was published in 1958 under Soviet News Booklet, London.

Individual And The Micro Environment – Sychev

Posted on January 29, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Individual And The Micro Environment by Yu. V. Sychev.

About the book

This book sets out to provide a Marxist analysis of the microenvironment under socialism to define its specific characteristics and its place in the system of broad social links, and to investigate the structure of the microenvironment in socialist society and certain tendencies towards change within that structure. An attempt is also made to bring out the dialectic of the interaction between the individual and the microenvironment with reference to the active nature of the ties connecting the individual with his social environment, to define the main levels of social determination of the individual, to demonstrate the role of the micro environment, and first and foremost its all-important component—the primary work team or collective—in the formation of the individual. Analysis of this particular subject also incorporates critical review of the way in which this subject is approached in bourgeois sociological writing.

This book is based on materials drawn from sociological case studies conducted by the Section for Research in the Sociology and Psycho-physiology of Labour in Industry (SRSPL) at the Perm Telephone Factory (PTF) in which the author participated, and also on data drawn from other case studies published recently in both the Soviet and foreign press.

The book was translated from Russian by Katharine Judelson and was designed by Uadim Kuleshov. The book was published in 1978 by Progress Publishers.

Quantitative Analysis – Alexeyev

Posted on January 27, 2022 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Quantitive Analysis by V. N. Alexeyev.

About the book

The present book is sequel to the author’s Qualitative Analysis and Course of Qualitative Chemical Semimicroanalysis. Therefore it does not deal with many theoretical questions, which are fully discussed in these books, at equal length in a course of quantitative analysis. In all such instances merely a brief mention is made of the relevant principles and results, with a reference to the appropriate sections in the textbooks of qualitative analysis. Exceptions are made in discussion of the theoretical principles of activity, the salt effect (§ 20) and oxidation potentials (§ 78). These subjects are the most difficult for students and, moreover, they are often considered only in courses of quantitative analysis. The author’s aim was to correlate theory with the practice of anal ysis and, as in the textbooks of qualitative analysis, to make the theory easily understood by students.

The question of physico-chemical methods of analysis and their place in a course of quantitative analysis is a very serious problem. Only two such methods are considered in detail in the book: colorimetry (visual) and electrogravimetric analysis. Conductometry, potentiometry, polarography, and photocolorimetry are considered only in outline, without descriptions of the methods or examples of determinations.

The book was translated from Russian by E. Uvarov was published in 1969 first by Mir Publishers. There are several reprints in later year.

Original scan from Digital Library of India.

You can get the book here (cleaned and optimised version).

There is another hi-res version around, will add link to that copy soon.
