Orientation dependencies of FeK, BrK EXAFS and XANES spectra have been measured for intercalated compounds of the composition CZF, *yA (X = 1 . A= Brz, BrF3, FeBr3, Fe(AA)3, FeCl3) synthesized by dityusion from solutions. An approach has been developed which allows determination of the ranges of the orientation angles of T-shaped BrF3 molecules tiom XANES spectra. The values of the orientation ...

A systematic review of the genus Abiskomyia Edwards, 1937 is presented based on materials from the Russian Far East and bordering territories. Three new species: A. korbokhon sp. nov., A. levanidovi sp. nov., A. rivalis sp. nov. and one subspecies A. virgo orientalis subsp. nov. are described and figured. Emended generic diagnoses and keys to determination of adult males, pupae and fourth insta...

problem of understanding Japanese behavior, experience, and development (Kitayama & Markus, 1994; Stigler, Shweder, Goodnow, Hatano, LeVine, Markus, & Miller, 1998; Shweder, & Herdt, 1990). In terms of the cultural psychology of the Japanese, the studies by Markus and Kitayama (1991) and Wierzbicka (1996) are at the forefront. Markus and Kitayama suggest, for example, that the Japanese, along w...

A new, two-winged species Procloeon monilistylus sp. n. is described from the Russian Far East based on male and female imagoes reared from larvae. The larva differs from other species of Procloeon by having a deeply separated incisor and kinetodontium of the mandibles. The imago differs from all Baetidae (and mayflies in general) by the shape of the gonostyli. Formerly this species was known a...

A new species of Plecoptera Megaperlodes tiunovi sp. n., from the South of the Russian Far East is described and illustrated. The relationships with its close relatives are discussed. Newly discovered features are added to the diagnosis of the genus Megaperlodes, especially previously overlooked eversible lobes within the paraprocts, egg structure, and wing venation.

Three new species of the genus Parorthocladius Thienemann, P. lazovskiensis sp. nov., P. plolabius sp. nov., and P. tyurkini sp. nov. from the Russian Far East are described and figured. Descriptions of pupae and larvae of one indeterminate species, Parorthocladius sp. 1, are also presented. Keys to determination of adult males, pupae and fourth instar larvae of Far-Eastern species Parorthoclad...
