    Zaranga tukuringra Streltzov & Yakovlev, 2007 (Figs 5–8, 15–19, 22, 23) Zaranga tukuringra Streltzov & Yakovlev, 2007: 24; figs 1–5 (male genitalia), 6 (female genitala); pl. 2: 7–9 (moths); TL: Russia, Amurskaya oblast, foothills of the Tukuringra Range, Zeyskii state nature reserve, “kordon [blockhouse] 52nd km”. Material. Russia, Amurskaya oblast, Zeyskii District, Zeyskii State Nature Reserve, kordon [blockhouse] Tyoplyi, 53°51’15.9”N, 127°21’34.0”E, on light, 17.06.201 7, A.A. Kuzmin legit—3♂, 1♀; ditto, Skovorodinskii District, 5 km south of Urusha town, 53°59’56”N, 122°53’08”E, 22.06.201 9, A.A. Kuzmin legit—1♂ [new locality]. Genetic data (Tab. 1, Fig. 24). Barcode of Z. tukuringra differs from Z. koreana on 1.9–2.4% p-distance and from Zaranga sp. from Yunnan on 5.3–5.7% p-distance. Intraspecific barcode ranges up to 0.5% (three samples from two distant localities). Distribution. Russia (central and western Amurskaya oblast); probably extreme NE China (Bolshoi Khingan Range; see Discussion below) (Fig. 25). Larval hostplants. Leaves of Cornus alba L. (Cornaceae) in Zeyskii Nature Reserve (Dubatolov et al. 2013). Note. The original description of Z. tukuringra by Streltzov & Yakovlev (2007) is quite comprehensive, but small corrections need to be made. In the illustration of the wing venation (fig. 1, obviously male), on the forewing veins, R 1 –Rs2 and the posterior portion of the discal vein are lacking, and on the hindwing veins, R 1, 1A+2A and 3A are also lacking, but the plica on the place of the reduced CuP is drawn as a vein. Male and female wing venation of Z. tukuringra, see Figs 9 & 10 in the present paper. The valva is flipped 180 degrees (Fig. 5 in the cited article). Apophyses posteriores are missed on the drawing of the female genitalia (Fig. 6, ibid) and in the text. In the text, latero-anterior extensions of lamella postvaginalis are misidentified as the apophyses anteriores. The signum is considered to be lacking, but present, as in Z. koreana and Z. pannosa. Photos of the male and female genitalia of Z. tukuringra see Figs 15–19 and 22–23 in the present paper.Published as part of Beljaev, Evgeny A., Choi, Sei-Woong & Kuzmin, Aleksandr A., 2021, Notes on the genus Zaranga Moore with description of a new species in the Zaranga pannosa species group (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae), pp. 577-589 in Zootaxa 4926 (4) on pages 582-583, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4926.4.8, http://zenodo.org/record/452974

    A.A. Gromyko and Security Policy: Helsinki compromise (to the 115th anniversary of A.A. Gromyko)

    No full text
    The article continues the study of the role of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR A.A. Gromyko in the formation, development and maintenance of security policy, its principles and structural elements. The subject of the article is the research of the preparation, content and prospects of the development of the Helsinki Compromise. On August 1, 1975, this compromise was enshrined in the final act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. The article consists of four sections. The first section is dedicated to the problem of the connections between the Western interpretation of progress and the possible influence on the Western world. This problem will be scientifically examined in further articles. In the second section, the author proves that the main task of A.A. Gromyko in 1975 was to agree on the compromise as quickly as possible and then to begin with the main directions of cooperation between states. In the third section, the author analyzes the content of the compromise. In addition, the most important peculiarity (no existence of a common and specific project for all countries) is highlighted. In the fourth section, the author characterizes A.A. Gromyko's ideas about the prospects of the development of the Helsinki compromise. What is new is the interpretation of the CSCE decisions in 1975, the interpretation of the meaning and contradictions in the Gromyko system. The sources of the article are published documents of the Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany, the use of which can be explained methodologically. It was important for the author to conduct the analysis on the basis of the foreign partners' assessment of the statements made by the Soviet Foreign Minister during official negotiations (outer reflection). The author's reasoning should be understood in the context of his earlier article in the journal

    A.A. BRUSILOV - FULL GENERAL OF RUSSIAN ARMY AND LAST COMMANDER OF RUSSIAN TSAR

    No full text
    The article analyzes the biography of Russian full general A.A. Brusilov − the hero of World War I, whose name is associated with the term “Brusilov Offensive”. The author exa-mines his views on the new situation which developed in Russia during the two revolutions of 1917, and then in the Soviet period. The author highly appreciates the theoretical preparation level of A.A. Brusilov, who got full military education in tsarist Russia; reveals the pre-sence of numerous analogous episodes in the biographies of A.A. Brusilov and A.V. Suvorov. He focuses on the similar origin of two Russian heroes, whose families belonged to the military dynasties of imperial Russia. The author concludes that the continuity of generations is very important in the issue of effective army’s functioning. This tradition was preserved in the new Soviet state

    Genetic diversity of salmonella enterica subsp. Enterica serovar enteritidis in the siberia and far east of russia based on plasmid profiles

    For the first time, in the literature review we presents the molecular genetic structure of Salmonella Enteritidis populations in Russia, and particularly, in Siberia and the Far East of the country. Pathogen population in Russia has been compared with Salmonella populations circulating in different countries of the world. It has been shown that the microbial population is heterogeneous, but it is possible to identify the dominant and main genotypes, which determine up to 90% of the total population morbidity. The data were obtained as a result of a 30-year monitoring (1988 to 2018) by studying the microbial plasmid profiles. It was shown that the same S. Enteritidis clones circulate throughout Russia, however, their significance in the population morbidity may vary depending on geographic and temporal characteristics. Population is characterized by heterogeneity and relative stability of the plasmid types’ structure. At the same time, the population is also specified by variability, reflected as a simple change of the annual number of constantly detected plasmid types, and the appearance of new ones that can play a significant role in the etiology of Salmonella infection. © 2020, AIMS Press.

Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.Organic light emitting transistors (OLETs) combine, in the same device, the function of an electrical switch with the capability of generating light under appropriate bias conditions. In this work, we demonstrate how engineering the dielectric layer based on high-k polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based polymers can lead to a drastic reduction of device driving voltages and the improvement of its optoelectronic properties. We first investigated the morphology and the dielectric response of these polymer dielectrics in terms of polymer (P(VDF-TrFE) and P(VDF-TrFE-CFE)) and solvent content (cyclopentanone, methylethylketone). Implementing these high-k PVDF-based dielectrics enabled low-bias ambipolar organic light emitting transistors, with reduced threshold voltages (<20 V) and enhanced light output (compared to conventional polymer reference), along with an overall improvement of the device efficiency. Further, we preliminary transferred these fluorinated high-k dielectric films onto a plastic substrate to enable flexible light emitting transistors. These findings hold potential for broader exploitation of the OLET platform, where the device can now be driven by commercially available electronics, thus enabling flexible low-bias organic electronic devices.Peer reviewe

    Continuous representation for shell models of turbulence

    No full text
    In this work we construct and analyze continuous hydrodynamic models in one space dimension, which are induced by shell models of turbulence. After Fourier transformation, such continuous models split into an infinite number of uncoupled subsystems, which are all identical to the same shell model. The two shell models, which allow such a construction, are considered: the dyadic (Desnyansky--Novikov) model with the intershell ratio λ=23/2\lambda = 2^{3/2} and the Sabra model of turbulence with λ=2+52.058\lambda = \sqrt{2+\sqrt{5}} \approx 2.058. The continuous models allow understanding various properties of shell model solutions and provide their interpretation in physical space. We show that the asymptotic solutions of the dyadic model with Kolmogorov scaling correspond to the shocks (discontinuities) for the induced continuous solutions in physical space, and the finite-time blowup together with its viscous regularization follow the scenario similar to the Burgers equation. For the Sabra model, we provide the physical space representation for blowup solutions and intermittent turbulent dynamics

    A.A. Gromyko and Security Policy: Conflict of Strategies after Helsinki

    No full text
    The article continues the study of the role of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR A.A. Gromyko in the formation, development and maintenance of security policy, its principles and structural elements. The subject of the article is the analysis and comparison of the strategies of A.A. Gromyko and the Western countries in 1976–1977 after the signing of the Helsinki Final Act. The article consists of three parts. In the first part, the author analyzes the strategic course of A.A. Gromyko and proves that the Soviet Foreign Minister understood détente as a three-level process. For this reason, he wanted to agree on the common content of détente and to build cooperation between states of different status in the system of international relations that would be beneficial for all participants. The second part describes the West’s strategic course. The author shows that the West hoped to weaken the USSR, lure the country into a foreign policy game, «keep the Soviets in good spirits» and obtain voluntary concessions from the country. The Helsinki Final Act was as a «provisional high point» that would lead to a fight for what had been achieved. In the third part, the positions of A.A. Gromyko and the Western political elite were compared. For the first time in historiography, the thesis about a real possibility of dialogue between the USSR and the United States on the legal formalization of the status of the great powers was presented. The author recommends taking into account the proposals of A.A. Gromyko in the modern system of international relations. The sources of the article are published documents of the Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany, the use of which can be explained methodologically. It was important for the author to conduct the analysis on the basis of the foreign partners' assessment of the statements made by the Soviet Foreign Minister during official negotiations (outer reflection).

    No full text
    We present the Hamiltonian description of incompressible rotating fluid by using the Clebsch variables. We find the transformation which allows us to present the three-wave interaction Hamiltonian in normal variables in simple explicit form. We analyze the three-wave interaction amplitude and find new anisotropic spectra. Finally we study the convergence of integrals and present the kinetic equation
