A Review of Mites of the Family Canestriniidae (Acari, Astigmata) Associated with the Leaf Beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) in Ukraine with Description of a New Species of the Genus Pseudamansia

Three species of the mite family Canestriniidae (Acari, Astigmata) were found on leaf beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) collected during 2000–2005 in Ukraine. Amansiella trilobata Khaustov et Eidelberg, 2001 and Paramansia bicornis Khaustov et Eidelberg, 2001 are new for the continental part of Ukraine. Chrysolina polita and C. fastuosa are new hosts for P. bicornis. Pseudamansia decorata Tratsch et Khaustov, sp. n. occuring on Timarcha goettingensis in Odessa and Vinnica regions is described and illustrated. P. decorata sp. n. females differ from P. chrysomelinus by distinctly shorter and stiffer setae d1 and c1.На жуках-листоедах (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae), собранных в Украине в 2000–2005 гг., выявлено 3 вида клещей семейства Canestriniidae (Acari, Astigmata).

Впервые как хозяева для P. bicornis приведены Chrysolina polita и C. fastuosa. Описанный Pseudamansia decorata Tratsch et Khaustov, sp. n., обнаружен на Timarcha goettingensis в Одесской и Винницкой областях. Самки P. decorata sp. n. отличаются от P. chrysomelinus заметно более короткими и жесткими щетинками d1 и c1

Program and algorithmic complex for synthesis of dynamic photo analysis of the aging degree of rubbers

The article describes program and algorithmic complex for synthesis of computer vision. This method operates as part of an automated control system for climate testing and it designs to analyze the aging of rubber products according to their visual indices. In this article the structural scheme of the system has been given. In addition, modified methods have been described. They compare the coordinates of a series of photographs, eliminate noise in the image being processed, and convert the output data of the computer vision algorithms into aging characteristics of rubbers. A brief description of the software of the operator-researcher has been presented.The authors express their gratitude to the members of the "Chemistry and Chemical Technology of organic compounds and polymers processing" department of "Voronezh State University of Engineering Technology" Prof. Karmanova O.V. and Dr. Molchanov V.I. for their valuable advice, training and providing of experimental samples of rubber as well as Dr. Rebrikov D.I. for assistance in carrying out the experimental research
