Андрей Александрович Тейльс — писатель, который все-таки существовал
The paper reconstructs the biography of Andrei Aleksandrovich Teil’s (1782–1822), the author of “Hercules and Daianira”, a tragedy in аlexandrine verse (1807). He is attributed various sentimental poems and translations from French that were published in the journals “Ippokrena” (1799), “Litsei” (1806), “Novosti” (1799), “Novosti russkoi literatury” (1803), “Severnyi vestnik” (1805) and “Severnyi Merkurii” (1811). These publications were signed “A. de Teil’s”, “An. Teil’s”, “An: Teil’s”, “A. Teil’s”, “Teil’s” and until now have been erroneously considered to be the work of Anton Antonovich Teil’s (1733 — after 1798), the uncle of Andrei Aleksandrovich. It has not been noticed that at one point the author revealed his identity by putting the name “Andrei Teil’s” under a poetic translation from Voltaire in “Litsei” (1806). References made in “Puteshestvie v Norvegiiu odnogo molodogo cheloveka v 1801 godu” [A Young Man’s Journey to Norway in 1801] (published in “Severnyi Merkurii” [The Northern Mercury] in 1811; signed A. Teil’s) to the anonymous “Puteshestvie v Shvetsiiu” [A Journey to Sweden] (1811; published after the last part of “Puteshestvie v Norvegiiu odnogo molodogo cheloveka v 1801 godu” in the same journal) indicate clearly that both of these travelogues were written by Andrei Aleksandrovich Teil’s. Furthermore, the travel routes described therein coincide with two trips he took in 1800 and 1801, as can be seen in his curriculum vitae in the Russian State Naval Archive. Closely connected with these texts is the “Idilliia na vozvrashchenie iz Norvegii druga moego A. A. T..lsa v 800-m godu oktiabria 29 dnia” [Idyll on the Return from Norway of My Friend A. A. T..ls on 29 October 1800], published in 1810 in the same review and signed with the cryptonym “P - r U - - ov”. In this case, it is highly probable that the author was Petr Aleksandrovich Ushakov (1783 — after 1804), a classmate of Andrei Aleksandrovich Teil’s at the navy cadet school and a close relative of the famous writer Aleksandr Nikolaevich Radishchev (1749–1802). DOI: 10.31168/2305-6754.2022.11.2.6В статье реконструируется биография Андрея Александровича Тейльса (1782–1822), автора трагедии «Геркулес и Даянира» (1807). Ему атрибутируются сентименталистская лирика и переводы с французского, напечатанные в журналах «Иппокрена» (1799), «Лицей» (1806), «Новости» (1799), «Новости русской литературы» (1803), «Северный вестник» (1805) и «Северный Меркурий» (1811) с подписями «А. де Тейльс», «Ан. Тейльс», «Ан: Тейльс», «А. Теильс», «Тейльс». Эти публикации ранее ошибочно приписывались Антону Антоновичу Тейльсу (1733 — после 1798), дяде Андрея Александровича, так как не было замечено, что подлинный автор один раз «выдал» себя, подписавшись «Андрей Тейльс» под стихотворным переводом из Вольтера в «Лицее» в 1806 г. Отсылки в «Путешествии в Норвегию одного молодого человека в 1801 году» (напечатано в 1811 г. с подписью «А. Тейльс» в «Северном Меркурии») к анонимному «Путешествию в Швецию» (опубликовано вслед за «Путешествием в Норвегию» в «Северном Меркурии») убеждают, что оба травелога написаны Андреем Александровичем Тейльсом. Кроме того, маршруты путешествий, описанных в них, совпадают с данными двух учебных плаваний, в которых он принял участие в 1800-м и в 1801 гг., как можно заключить из его формуляра в Российском государственном военно-морском архиве. С этими текстами тесно связана «Идиллия на возвращение из Норвегии друга моего А. А. Т..лса в 800-м году октября 29 дня», опубликованная в том же журнале в 1810 г. с подписью «П - ръ У - - въ». С большой долей вероятности она принадлежит Петру Александровичу Ушакову (1783 — после 1804), соученику Андрея Александровича Тейльса по Морскому кадетскому корпусу и близкому родственнику Александра Николаевича Радищева (1749–1802).

The Polemics of V.K. Trediakovsky and A.P. Sumarokov About the Sonnet
The article investigates the early period of the sonnet form in Russia, covering the period from 1732 to 1759. It examines the ideas of two prominent poets of the time, Vasily Trediakovsky and Aleksandr Sumarokov, regarding the sonnet. Trediakovsky appears as the true unventor of the sonnet form in Russia: in 1732, he translated the famous “penitential”-sonnet of Jacques Vallée, Sieur Des Barreaux, “Grand Dieu, tes jugements sont remplis d’équité…” into 13-syllable lines. Trediakovsky translated this poem again in 1735 and 1752 with various variants of trochaic verses. In his “Epistle on Poetry” of 1747, Sumarokov displayed a different conception of the sonnet as a salon and playful poetry. In 1755, he published in the “Monthly Review” six sonnets in alexandrines, demonstrating his understanding of this form. Younger poets followed Sumarokov’s recommendations and imitated his sonnets. Trediakovsky had to accept defeat, and in 1759, wrote a sonnet in alexandrines. Apparently, Trediakovsky’s conception of the sonnet as a genre for elevated subject matter nonetheless influenced Sumarokov. In his late sonnets, written in 1769 and 1774, Sumarokov treated religious and philosophical subjects
НЕКОТОРЫЕ ОСОБЕННОСТИ ЭНЕРГОПОТРЕБЛЕНИЯ В СОВРЕМЕННЫХ ЖИЛЫХ ЗДАНИЯХ
Over the past 20 years there have been significant changes in the customer requirements for housing in the countries of the former USSR. Besides, new materials and construction products, such as the ones for sealed windows and balcony doors have appeared in the market. The number of vacant flats with the heating off in the winter significantly increased that may cause condensation on the surfaces of interroom partitions and the formation of mold. Meanwhile, the requirements for lower energy consumption are constantly increasing, that is especially pronouncedly manifested in the growth of normative values of thermal resistance of enclosing structures of buildings and in the increased interest in the use of secondary energy resources extracted from the air and effluent wastewater. The present article describes the method to prevent moisture condensation on the fencing of adjacent premises with different temperatures containing heating systems and the use of waste heat removed from the room exhaust air. For quick emergency switching of in-house systems of heat and gas supply to outdoor mobile sources of heat and gas it is recommended to install special taps with connectors insulated in special niches in the walls or other parts of buildings considering the possibility of placing them close to the outer mobile sources of heat and gas. In the case of heating the building with the aid of a roof gas boiler or by doorto-door heaters fueled by gas, a single pipeline (collector), equipped with an additional device for the connection of emergency gas supply is being put along the wall. In order to reduce specific heat consumption for heating of buildings it is recommended to increase the net enclosure volume of buildings and to improve their form in various ways, including by combining two or more adjacent low-rise buildings in one secondary building with increasing height and with the broadening of either or each side for modernization and reconstruction. The dimensions of the reconstructed building are accepted as the maximum possible, and their proportions (in any number of merged buildings) – as providing tend of shapes to spherical or equicylindrical, or cubic – in any combination.За последние 20 лет в странах бывшего СССР произошли существенные изменения в требованиях к жилищным условиям у покупателей жилья. Кроме этого, появились новые материалы и строительные изделия, например, для герметичных окон и балконных дверей. Значительно увеличилось количество пустующих квартир с выключенным в зимнее время отоплением, что может вызвать конденсацию влаги на поверхностях межквартирных перегородок и образование плесени. При этом требования к уменьшению энергопотребления постоянно растут, что особенно явно проявляется в нормативном повышении значений термических сопротивлений ограждающих здания конструкций и увеличении интереса к использованию вторичных энергоресурсов, получаемых из воздуха и стоков отработанной воды. В статье описан способ предотвращения конденсации влаги на ограждениях смежных помещений с разной температурой воздуха, содержащих системы отопления и использования вторичной теплоты удаляемого из помещения отработанного воздуха. Для обеспечения быстрого аварийного подключения внутридомовых систем теплогазоснабжения к наружным передвижным источникам теплоты и газа рекомендуется дополнительно устанавливать специальные отводы с соединительными устройствами в специальных теплоизолированных нишах в стенах или других частях зданий с учетом возможности размещения вблизи наружных передвижных источников теплоты и газа. В случае отопления здания крышной газовой котельной или поквартирными отопителями, питаемыми газом, по стене дома прокладывают единый газопровод (коллектор), оборудованный дополнительным устройством для подключения аварийного газоснабжения. Для уменьшения удельного расхода теплоты на отопление зданий рекомендуется при модернизации и реконструкции увеличивать полезный объем зданий и улучшать их формы различными способами, в том числе путем объединения двух или более соседних малоэтажных зданий в одно вторичное здание с повышением этажности, с уширением с любой или с каждой стороны. Размеры реконструируемого здания принимают максимально возможными, а их пропорции (при любом количестве объединяемых зданий) − обеспечивающими стремление формы к шаровой, или равноцилиндрической, или кубической при любом их сочетании
Shifting daylength regimes associated with range shifts alter aphid-parasitoid community dynamics
This is the final version of the article. Available from Wiley via the DOI in this record.With climate change leading to poleward range expansion of species, populations are exposed to new daylength regimes along latitudinal gradients. Daylength is a major factor affecting insect life cycles and activity patterns, so a range shift leading to new daylength regimes is likely to affect population dynamics and species interactions; however, the impact of daylength in isolation on ecological communities has not been studied so far. Here, we tested for the direct and indirect effects of two different daylengths on the dynamics of experimental multitrophic insect communities. We compared the community dynamics under “southern” summer conditions of 14.5-hr daylight to “northern” summer conditions of 22-hr daylight. We show that food web dynamics indeed respond to daylength with one aphid species (Acyrthosiphon pisum) reaching much lower population sizes at the northern daylength regime compared to under southern conditions. In contrast, in the same communities, another aphid species (Megoura viciae) reached higher population densities under northern conditions. This effect at the aphid level was driven by an indirect effect of daylength causing a change in competitive interaction strengths, with the different aphid species being more competitive at different daylength regimes. Additionally, increasing daylength also increased growth rates in M. viciae making it more competitive under summer long days. As such, the shift in daylength affected aphid population sizes by both direct and indirect effects, propagating through species interactions. However, contrary to expectations, parasitoids were not affected by daylength. Our results demonstrate that range expansion of whole communities due to climate change can indeed change interaction strengths between species within ecological communities with consequences for community dynamics. This study provides the first evidence of daylength affecting community dynamics, which could not be predicted from studying single species separately.The research leading to this paper was supported by NERC grant NE/N001672/1 and a studentship award to RK from the NERC GW4+ Doctoral Training Partnership
The impacts of environmental warming on Odonata: a review
Climate change brings with it unprecedented rates of increase in environmental temperature, which will have major consequences for the earth's flora and fauna. The Odonata represent a taxon that has many strong links to this abiotic factor due to its tropical evolutionary history and adaptations to temperate climates. Temperature is known to affect odonate physiology including life-history traits such as developmental rate, phenology and seasonal regulation as well as immune function and the production of pigment for thermoregulation. A range of behaviours are likely to be affected which will, in turn, influence other parts of the aquatic ecosystem, primarily through trophic interactions. Temperature may influence changes in geographical distributions, through a shifting of species' fundamental niches, changes in the distribution of suitable habitat and variation in the dispersal ability of species. Finally, such a rapid change in the environment results in a strong selective pressure towards adaptation to cope and the inevitable loss of some populations and, potentially, species. Where data are lacking for odonates, studies on other invertebrate groups will be considered. Finally, directions for research are suggested, particularly laboratory studies that investigate underlying causes of climate-driven macroecological patterns
Respiratory enzymes of the silkmoth Antheraea pernyi in relation to metamorphosis and pupal diapause
1. 1. Wing epidermis from diapausing and non-diapausing silkmoths (Antheraea pernyi) was assayed for NADH [nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (reduced form)] oxidase, NADH- and succinate-cyctochrome c reductases, and cytochrome c oxidase.2. 2. Diapausing pupae showed a marked decline in activities after pupation and the same subsequent profile of very low activities reported for diapausing Cecropia silkmoths.3. 3. Non-diapausing pupae showed only a slight and transient decline after pupation and otherwise retained relatively high activities throughout metamorphosis.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/22213/1/0000646.pd
Impact of Climate Change on Voltinism and Prospective Diapause Induction of a Global Pest Insect – Cydia pomonella (L.)
Global warming will lead to earlier beginnings and prolongation of growing seasons in temperate regions and will have pronounced effects on phenology and life-history adaptation in many species. These changes were not easy to simulate for actual phenologies because of the rudimentary temporal (season) and spatial (regional) resolution of climate model projections. We investigate the effect of climate change on the regional incidence of a pest insect with nearly worldwide distribution and very high potential for adaptation to season length and temperature – the Codling Moth, Cydia pomonella. Seasonal and regional climate change signals were downscaled to the hourly temporal scale of a pest phenology model and the spatial scale of pest habitats using a stochastic weather generator operating at daily scale in combination with a re-sampling approach for simulation of hourly weather data. Under future conditions of increased temperatures (2045–2074), the present risk of below 20% for a pronounced second generation (peak larval emergence) in Switzerland will increase to 70–100%. The risk of an additional third generation will increase from presently 0–2% to 100%. We identified a significant two-week shift to earlier dates in phenological stages, such as overwintering adult flight. The relative extent (magnitude) of first generation pupae and all later stages will significantly increase. The presence of first generation pupae and later stages will be prolonged. A significant decrease in the length of overlap of first and second generation larval emergence was identified. Such shifts in phenology may induce changes in life-history traits regulating the life cycle. An accordingly life-history adaptation in photoperiodic diapause induction to shorter day-length is expected and would thereby even more increase the risk of an additional generation. With respect to Codling Moth management, the shifts in phenology and voltinism projected here will require adaptations of plant protection strategies to maintain their sustainability
