Biber, in Russian>. He is most known for precise measurements of permittivity for numerous organic solvents, mixed and individual. In Odessa, he headed the Dept of inorganic chemistry.

Evgenyi Samoilovich Brukser (1887-1965)

We have a limited information about Efim Abramovich Kanevskyi. Before WWII he worked in Odessa division of the Institute of rare metals (ГИРЕДМЕТ), and was involved into polarography of rare metals (Zavodskaya Laboratoriya. 1940. V. 9. P. 283-287). His 1945 PhD thesis addressed polarographic determination of Nb and Ta. In 1946 he was sent to a ‘secret’ institution near Moscow as a head of analytical lab, and in 1955 became a head of pysico-chemical laboratory in the Institute of Chemical Technology (ВНИИХТ), which played the leading role in Russian atomic project. His most known contribution dubiously named ‘absolute potential’ belongs just to this period. He was active up to at least early 1980s, as one can judge from publications in Russian. In particular he completed two textbooks on thermodynamics published by Moscow Chemical-Technological Inst in 1981.
