No full textCarabus (Neoplectes) titarenkoi djanoliensis subsp. nov. (Figs. 81–84, 197–202) Type material. Holotype: ♂, Georgia, Lechkhumi, right bank of Dzhanoli river near Chkhumi vill., E slopes of Mushulda Mt., 526 m, N 42°35' / E42°40', pitfall traps, 16.04- 13.06.2015 (D. Fominykh & A. Zubov) (ZISP). Paratypes: 12♂♂, 21♀♀, same data as holotype (ZISP, CFDD, CTAY, CZAM). Description. Medium-sized form (Figs. 81–84), body length 31.5–37.0 (34.3) mm, males 31.4–32.7 (32.1) mm, females 33.4–36.8 (35.1) mm long. Underside black, dorsum usually with bright metallic lustre, bronze, dark blue, or dark violet. Body slender. Head broad, as in the other Neoplectes -forms. Pronotum faintly constricted posteriorly, hind angles faintly protruding backwards, PW/HW=1.45–1.78 (1.62)2 [1.22–1.60 (1.41) in the nomynotypical subspecies], PW/PL=1.29–1.98 (1.64) [1.20–1.54 (1.24) in the nomynotypical subspecies], PW/ PB=1.03–1.27 (1.15) [1.02–1.28 (1.15) in the nomynotypical subspecies], surface slightly rugous. Elytra elongate, faintly divergent posteriorly, EW/PW=1.20–1.41 (1.31) [1.34–1.65 (1.50) in the nomynotypical subspecies], EL/ EW=1.57–1.81 (1.69) [1.45–1.90 (1.68) in the nomynotypical subspecies], more convex and less ovate in males and somewhat depressed and more ovate in females; elytral sculpture smoother in males, links of its intervals shorter and less pronounced than in females; in females sculpture coarser, intervals more pronounced, this resulting in the more matte surface appearance. Aedeagus large, broadened apically, of characteristic for the subgenus Neoplectes shape, endophallus (Figs. 197–202) with small ventromedial lobe and ventrobasal projection and large, protruding ventroapical lobe, possesses only minor differences from the nomynotypical subspecies. Differential diagnosis and remarks. The new subspecies is distinguishable externally from the nomynotypical one by a larger body size, more slender and less ovate body, and somewhat broader head. Results of the discriminant analysis showed consistent differences from the known populations of the nomynotypical subspecies (Fig. 203). Aedeagus somewhat stronger inflated apically (viewed laterally), endophallus with comparatively larger ventroapical and dorsoventral lobes, fainter twisted to the right. Habitually resembles C. szekelyi from the Nakerala mountains, but has a more slender body appearance (Figs. 66–69, 81–84) and different structure of endophallus. The shape of the male genitalia resembles that of C. prunierianus, which inhabits the eastern part of the subgenus’ distribution range, but is distinguishable by several 2. Mean values are given in parentheses. details (Figs. 159–168, 197–202); both forms are also quite different in external appearance (Figs. 56–61, 81–84). C. titarenkoi djanoliensis subsp. nov. populates the right bank of the Tskhenis-Tskhali river, where species of the mellyi -group are usually distributed, but differs from them in a number of endophallic characters, already mentioned above. The following key can be used to identify the known C. titarenkoi subspecies: A. Larger, body length above 33 mm, body more slender, elytra less ovate, endophallus fainter twisted rightwards, its ventroapical lobe somewhat larger; inhabits the right bank of Dzhanoli river.................... C. titarenkoi djanoliensis subsp. nov. B. Smaller, body more robust, elytra stronger ovate, endophallus stronger twisted rightwards, its ventroapical lobe somewhat smaller; inhabits Khvamli mountains Mass....................... C. titarenkoi titarenkoi Zamotajlov & Fominykh, 2014 Distribution. C. titarenkoi djanoliensis subsp. nov. is distributed along the right bank of the Tskhenis-Tskhali river, in the Dzhanoli river valley near Chkhumi village. Habitat. Boxwood forest sites at karstic landforms at 526– 600 m. The adults are active from April to July. Carabus (Tribax) fossiger Chaudoir, 1877, C. (Sphodristocarabus) armeniacus Mannerheim, 1830, and C. (Megodontus) septemcarinatus Motschulsky, 1840 also occur together with this subspecies. Etymology. The subspecific epithet refers to the name of the river Dzhanoli, the type locality of this subspecies.Published as part of Fominykh, Dmitriy D. & Zamotajlov, Alexandr S., 2016, Further contribution to the knowledge of Georgian species of the Carabus Linnaeus, 1758 subgenus Neoplectes Reitter, 1885, with description of a new subspecies of C. titarenkoi Zamotajlov & Fominykh, 2014 (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Carabini), pp. 561-599 in Zootaxa 4179 (3) on pages 568-569, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4179.3.10, http://zenodo.org/record/25883

Dorsum dark brown to black, shiny, underside dark brown to black, legs, antennae, and palpi dark brown. Head broad, inflated, 1.03 times as long as wide and 0.97 times as wide as pronotum, nearly square (viewed dorsally), index 2 = 1.00: 0.90: 1.09, genae prominent, long, much stronger extended anteriorly than both in previous species and P. arcanoides (Fig. 23), compound eyes small, rudimentary, completely depressed, hardly developed, occupying somewhat dorso-lateral position, placed nearly equidistant between anterior angle of geanae and temples; temples long, tumid, more or less evenly rounded, resembling P. mariamae sp. nov., posttemporal tubercles completely missing, neck broad; frontal furrows prominent, faintly divergent posteriorly and nearly reaching eye level, extending forwards up to clypeal setae, resembling in shape P. arcanoides, frons with coarsely rugose transversal impression, arcuately connecting frontal furrows; surface smooth, 2 setiferous pores present on each side, anterior pore situated in supraorbital groove at eye level, and posterior—at hind extremity of supraorbital groove, strongly removed posteriorly, index 1 = 0.40: 1.00: 1.07; tooth of mentum (Figs. 14) rather short, bifid, with rather shallow apical hollow, resembling previous species; mandibles rather short with moderately bent apices; antennomere 2 rather short, index 3 = 1.89 (2.21): 1.00 (1.54): 1.72 (2,63): 1.73 (2.90): 1.46 (2.69). Pronotum somewhat back-trapeziform, 0.97 times as long as wide, faintly convex, widest at apical quarter; apex fairly emarginate in the middle, lateral sides narrowly reflexed, inconspicuously rounded anteriorly, prominently sinuated before hind angles, basal margin emarginate in the middle, hind angles prominent, nearly rectangular, pointed; disk rather finely rugose, anterior transverse impression rather shallow, median line deep, reaching both extremities, basal foveae longitudinal, shallow; lateral margins with 5–7 marginal setae in anterior half and 1 seta in hind angles at both sides. Elytra elongate, rather narrow, 1.76 times as long as wide and 1.17 times as wide as pronotum, sides faintly rounded, shoulders rounded, completely not angulated; striae fine but prominent, scutellary striole distinct, intervals nearly flat; interval 3 with 4 pores adjoining stria 3, umbilicate series distinctly subinterrupted in the middle, forming vague humeral (6–7 pores), median (1–2 pores), and apical (8–9 pores) groups; microsculpture composed of fine transverse wrinkles and nearly isodiametric meshes.

Metatrochantera nearly of the same shape as in P. mariamae sp. nov. female. Ventral side of tarsal segment 5 pubescent both dorsally and ventrally. Male unknown. Differential diagnosis. The new species resembles in habitus P. arcanoides and P. mariamae sp.nov., combining their individual characters, but also possesses some unique ones. In general it differs in the following main features (Figs. 3, 4, 6, 7, 8): body larger and less slender; head of more parallel-side form (Fig. 23), index 2 being 1.00: 0.90: 1.09 (P. arcanoides and P. mariamae sp. nov. possess more trapeziform head, their index 2 being 1.00: 0.92–0.94: 1.15–1.16); genae less developed, compound eyes occupy somewhat lateral position and seem to be removed posteriorly from the anterior margin of genae to posterior margin of temples, index 1 being 0.40: 1.00: 1.07 (in P. arcanoides and P. mariamae sp.nov. it is 0.58–0.75: 1.00: 0.90 –1.00); antennomere 2 is the shortest of all the three species, mandibles moderately bent apically to compare with P. arcanoides and P. mariamae sp. nov. From P. arcanoides differs also in the shape of the tooth of mentum (Figs. 10–14); proportions of pronotum are nearly intermediate between P. arcanoides and P. mariamae sp. nov., in general form and character of microreticulation it is closer however to P. mari amae sp. nov., but differs in a very shallow, faint basal foveae; disk of pronotum without prominent and locally coarse microsculpture, characteristic for P. arcanoides. Elytra elongate, narrow (see description), shoulders widely rounded, without prominent angles, being 1.76 times as long as wide and 1.17 times as wide as pronotum (in P. arcanoides elytra are 1.78–1.82 times as long as wide, with prominent humeral angle, in P. mariamae sp. nov. elytra are 1.85–2.08 times as long as wide, with well-developed humeral angle); elytral striae fine, less prominent than in P. mariamae sp. nov. Distribution. Transcaucasia (=South Caucasus), Abkhazia, valley of the river Mzara, Zashirbara Mt. Range. Bionomics. Type specimen was collected in a maple-beech forest on highly pronounced karstic landforms at altitudes of 680–705 m (Fig. 25). Specific epithet. We are pleased to dedicate this new species to the wife of the second author, Svetlana, as a sign of gratitude for her infinite patience and support for his research travels in the Caucasus. Several characters utilized earlier by Kurnakov for discrimination of his subgenus Scaritomorphus and Aphaonus (inflated head, microphthalmia, absence of the posttemporal tubercles) already appeared unreliable. Comparison of P. arcanoides, P. mariamae sp. nov., and P. svetlanae sp. nov. confirms, however, the stability in the pronotal and elytral chaetotaxy of this species-group (plurisetose pronotal lateral margin, umbilicate series hardly interrupted at middle, etc.) and in the presence of the frontal arcuate impression, easily distinguishing it from the other known Aphaonus lineages.Published as part of Zamotajlov, Alexandr S., Solodovnikov, Igor A. & Fominykh, Dmitriy D., 2015, Description of two new species related to Pterostichus (Aphaonus) arcanoides Lorenz, 1998 from the West Transcaucasia (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Pterostichini), pp. 111-124 in Zootaxa 3999 (1) on pages 116-119, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3999.1.7, http://zenodo.org/record/24335

A model for the education of a student of a vocational pedagogical educational institution through the gaming simulation
No full textThe relevance of the problem subject to the research is conditioned by the discrepancy between (a) the orientation of the modern vocational-pedagogical education on the result of the future teacher training that is based on the subject matter and contents, and (b) the need to develop pedagogical skills. The application of the gaming simulation within the process of pedagogical skills development takes such skills to a completely new level. A study of the process of pedagogical skills development at students of a vocational-pedagogical education by way of the gaming simulation is the purpose of the article. Experiment and research activities were carried out during four years. A pedagogical experiment using the specially developed programme allowing discovering the level of pedagogical skills development at the trainees is the leading method for the research of this problem. Research results: The article provides for a model for the education of a student of a vocational-pedagogical educational institution through the gaming simulation; a scheme for this model implementation has been developed.

Discrete analogues of records with restrictions. Scientific supervisor: Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Professor Valery Nevzorov. Mathematics. Chair of Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics. The goal of the graduation project was to study records with constraints in the case of discretely distributed random variables. As a result, behaviors of inter-record times in three different restricted record schemes were described. Also, the results were obtained for the expectation of the number of records up to step n and the highest record value in the case of discrete random walks, which return to their original position after n steps.

Bottom Production Cross Section from Double Muonic Decays of b-Flavoured Hadrons in 920 GeV Proton-Nucleus Collisions
No full textAbstractThe bb¯ production cross section in 920 GeV proton-nucleus fixed target collisions is measured by observing double muonic decays of b-flavoured hadrons in the kinematic region −0.3<xF(μ)<0.15. A total number of 83±12bb¯ events is obtained with a likelihood fit of the signal and background simulated events to the data. The resulting cross section is σbb¯=17.5±2.6stat±3.3sys nb/nucleon, or, when combined with a previous HERA-B measurement of similar precision, σbb¯=15.8±1.7stat±1.3sysuncorr±2.0syscorr nb/nucleon, which is consistent with recent NLO calculations
Detecting emotions in a learning environment:a multimodal exploration
No full textLearner-emotions are intrinsically linked with learning experiences and academic outcomes. Therefore, intelligent learning environments need to be emotion-aware to bring learners to theirzone of proximal development. In this paper, we describe the first steps towards such a system. In this study, we manipulated task difficulty with the aim of detecting the physiological indicators of accompanying emotions, namely boredom/anger (during an easy task), enjoyment (during a moderately challenged task) and frustration/boredom (during a difficult task). Twenty-one adults (13 females and 8 males, Mage = 24.1 years) participated in a repeated- measures quasi-experimental set-up. Data were collected via Empatica E4 wristbands and self-reports. Results indicate that varying task difficulty may be associated with changes in skin temperature, phasic and tonic skin conductance, and heart rate. Findings encourage further exploration and thoughts on study design are discussed.</p

Process of economic terms internationalization (by materials of the German, Russian and Tatar languages)
No full text© 2015 by the author(s). The paper presents the characteristics of internationalisms in the economic terminology of German, Russian and Tatar languages. The emergence of borrowings in economic terminology is stimulated by the process of globalization, and is the result of cooperation between the countries. Successful achievements in this field are the property of many countries. Borrowings in the economic sphere are international, possible to be allocated into comparable and non-comparable areas. The emergence of non-comparable area in the studied languages is due to cultural and historical conditions of their functioning. In the process of using international vocabulary the issues of semantic inaccuracy and irrational use of words may arise. All borrowed lexemes are subject to formal and functional assimilation in languages. Materials research can be used in the teaching of German, Russian and Tatar languages, as well as in the teaching of subjects such as Terminology, comparative linguistics and lexicology
