Subversion in the Red Army and the Military Purge of 1937–1938
Stalin's purge of his military elite during 1937–1938 is one of the most unusual events of the Great Terror. Why would Stalin execute his most qualified officers at the same time as defence spending was rising and a world war was approaching? This article argues that a long history of the Red Army being perceived as vulnerable to subversion is central to understanding this military purge. When faced with perceived plots in the military Stalin tended to lean towards restraint, but by 1937 he felt he could no longer hesitate, and finally cracked down on what he saw as a compromised army.

The application of adsorptive stripping voltammetry for a study of the reaction of human serum albumin with anti-human serum albumin
Abstract Adsorptive stripping voltammetry has been used to study the interaction of human serum albumin with anti-human serum albumin. The adsorptive stripping voltammetric behaviour of both proteins has been optimised with respect to accumulation potential, accumulation time and scan rate. It has been demonstrated that adsorptive stripping voltammetry can be a useful technique for the study of the interaction of these two proteins directly in solution.
