Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov

Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov rather than just read about it. In short: Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov (Russian: Николай Люцианович Орлов; 12 June 1952 – 25 March 2026) was a Soviet and Russian herpetologist and researcher of the herpetofauna of Southeast Asia, particularly northern Annam. Life and career From 1970 to 1978 Orlov worked in the Department of Herpetology of the Leningrad Zoo.

Key takeaways

Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov (Russian: Николай Люцианович Орлов; 12 June 1952 – 25 March 2026) was a Soviet and Russian herpetologist and researcher of the herpetofauna of Southeast Asia, particularly northern Annam.

Life and career From 1970 to 1978 Orlov worked in the Department of Herpetology of the Leningrad Zoo. Since 1978 he has been employed at the Laboratory of Ornithology and Herpetology of the Zoological Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (now the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences). In 1985 he graduated from the Leningrad Pedagogical Institute. In 1997 he became a junior research associate, and by 2021 he was a leading researcher at the Zoological Institute of the RAS. In 2006 he defended his Candidate of Biological Sciences dissertation on the topic “Fauna of Amphibians of Vietnam: Distribution, Taxonomic and Ecological Diversity,” supervised by Ilya S. Darevsky.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov

In research: Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1952 births, 2026 deaths, 20th-century Russian zoologists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Nikolai Liutsianovich Orlov outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
