Wandering Eyes across the Entire Sky. Column in KomputerraOnline #22
Why do people fail to notice how blatantly they are lied to, how they are manipulated? Why does this not repel them? Where does such an inability for critical thinking come from?
Bondareva, Shabanov (2011) Comparison of Erythrocyte Size and Shape...
In general, I consider it wrong to add myself as a co-author to student theses. But in this case I made an exception to the general rule, as I consider this case nontrivial. Unfortunately, time passes and we still cannot …
Bondareva et al. (2010) Do size effects of cells influence... ?
Article written together with two female students. The work with erythrocytes, initiated by this article, led to an unexpected result, reflected in our theses with Bondareva from 2011. Bondareva A. A., Makhnij T. I., Shabanov D. A. Do size effects …
Shabanov (2009) Why dioecious organisms outcompete cross‑fertilizing hermaphrodites
To understand the specifics of green frog reproduction, a classification is needed that delineates the main types of population reproduction characteristic for animals and explains the reasons for transitions from one type of reproduction to another. Here an attempt is …
Usova (2010) Determining Natural Mortality of Sexually Mature Water Frogs
An important paper for understanding the population ecology of frogs. Frogs are by no means precocious creatures... Usova E. E. Determining the natural mortality of sexually mature water frogs (Pelophylax esculentus complex; Amphibia, Ranidae) using skeletochronology // Visnyk of V. …
Kravchenko, Shabanov (2008) Possible pathways of transformation of population systems
The latest version of the “mandala” (mandala – a highly symbolic graphic object of complex structure used as a theme for meditation) with possible transformation pathways of the GPS of green frogs. Its PDF version is available here. Kravchenko M. …
Shabanov et al. (2009) Which green frogs inhabit the Kharkiv region?
Relevant for our group today is the justification of the terminology used in the study of green frogs. In this article we proposed the term GPS (hemiclonal population system) and named the North-Donetsk Center of Green Frog Diversity. Pdf of …
Usova, Shabanov (2009) On the optimization of the methodology for retrospective assessment of body size dynamics...
Justification of the methodology for studying the growth rates of green frogs, which our group currently uses. The age determination method has become more advanced since then, but it has not yet been described in detail. Usova E. E., Shabanov …
Kravchenko, Shabanov (2010) Levels of biodiversity of the Pelophylax esculentus complex
Theses containing ideas that, I hope, we will further develop. Unfortunately, in this publication everything is very concise and lacks (due to space constraints) the argumentation that would be appropriate here. Kravchenko M. A., Shabanov D. A. Levels of biodiversity …
Kravchenko et al. (2011) Study of the stability of hemiclonal population systems...
A joint article with mathematicians. Studying the GPS model allowed us to draw interesting, in our view, conclusions regarding the stability of biosystems. The article proposes an interpretation of the concept "stability" that is applicable both in mathematics and in …
Kravchenko, Shabanov (2010) Modeling transformations of hemiclonal population systems...
The article that is fundamental to our work with M.K., which contains a description of all the relationships reflected in the green frog GPSS model we use, is essential. Although breaking through the formulas presented in this article is not …
Korshunov (2010) Ecological patterns of distribution of the Pelophylax esculentus complex... (Abstract)
The first (the second belongs to M.A. Kravchenko) dissertation, defended by a member of our working group on frog topics A.V. Korshunov, examines the ecological patterns of distribution of the Pelophylax esculentus complex in habitats of the upper flow basin …
Shabanov et al. (2006) Study of population systems of green frogs in Kharkiv region
Although the article presented here retains some interest, at least for its authors, the terminology requires correction. Ideas about the possible pathways of change in population systems have been refined, and certain concepts and even species names have changed. In …
Orientation and disorientation. Column in ComputerreOnline #21
The development of semi-specific behavior is a probabilistic process: a healthy environment and favorable heredity increase the chances of a normal developmental outcome, whereas a deviant environment and hereditary anomalies decrease them.
Shabanov, Lytvynchuk (2010) Green Frogs: Life Without Rules or a Special Path of Evolution?
Here I post, in the form most convenient for on-screen reading, an article that is our main introduction to the problem of studying green-frog hybridization. This is a review prepared together with Spartak Lytvynchuk for the Russian journal "Priroda": Shabanov …
Coffee and the consciousness of the noosphere. Column in ComputerreOnline #20
The origin of humanity – the most significant transition in the evolution of life, associated with the emergence of a new type of information exchange. Through us, something that had never existed before entered this world.
Coffee and the Third Nature. Column in KompyuterraOnline #19
In the case of living systems, we perceive structure above all else. That structure must be continuously maintained, "fed." Drinking coffee with sugar — the episode that prompted our discussion — is part of this process.
Planetary Coffee. Column in Computerra Online #18
{ "title": "", "summary": "", "body": "Thanks to the ability to exchange resources, we have gone beyond the limits of spatial limitation, wrapping the planet with highways for the transportation of everything needed for our existence. BATRIMG<N>BATR" }
Coffee and Chthonic Forces. Column in KompyuterraOnline #17
What forces return the elements necessary for organisms back into the biological cycle? The ancient Greeks would have called them chthonic – connected to the primordial energy of the Earth.
What is reflected in a cup of coffee? Column in ComputerreOnline #16
Humanity, whose main source of energy is non‑renewable resources, is already in a transitional state because of this.
