Analytic discs and totally real surfaces

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy N.Berikashvili, May 24,1999

 

Abstract. We deal with analytic discs attached to (with boundaries in) totally real two-dimensional surfaces. Firstly, we prove that certain non-compact smooth totally real surfaces are globally foliated by boundaries of analytic discs. Secondly, we describe a topological approach to existence results for analytic discs attached to small generic perturbations of a given singular two-surface germ. Two local topological invariants are introduced which describe the complex geometry of a singular germ. In terms of these invariants, we present a simple sufficient condition of existence of analytic discs near an isolated totally real singularity.

Key words: analytic disc, totally real surface, isolated singularity, generic perturbation, linking number, elliptic point.

Recombination Properties of Radiation Defects in Electron

Irradiated p-type Silicon Crystals

Presented March 15, 1999

 

Abstract. Lifetime of the main carriers (t) and variation of specific resistivity (r)  in p-type silicon crystals irradiated with 8MeV energy electrons have been studied.

Curves of isochrone annealing of the lifetime and specific resistivity have been compared. Conclusion was made that in 200-3000C temperature range variation of t results from the existence of K-centres and divacancies, whereas in 400-5000C interval it is conditioned by multivacancy V3+O2 and V3+O3 complexes. “Vacancy+boron atom”, V3+O and V2+O2 complexes are not recombinatively active.

Comparison of Chromatographic Properties of the Standard OV-1 and Liquid Crystal Stationary Phases

presented by Member of the Academy T. Andronikashvili, April 19, 1999

 

Abstract. Capillary chromatography has been used to study chromatographic separation of the aromatic hydrocarbons’ model mixture on the nonpolar stationary phases OV-1 and liquid crystal para [(4' hexabenzenoxy)-(4''-4''' benzen nitribenzenoxy)]-phenylen. Carrier gases He and CO2 were used for separation on OV-1 and nitrogen (N2) for the liquid crystal. Calculation of the retention time (tr), coefficient of asymmetry (Kas) and the number of theoretical plates (N) for the compounds under investigation show, that in capillary chromatography the use of CO2 as carrier gas caused decreasing of the elution time of the components and duration of the analysis but increases the column efficiency. It is shown that liquid crystal [BOBNBO]-p better works in the smectic mesomorphic phase, being selective towards the mixture of xylene and cresol isomers: it is not less selective  compared with the universal phase OV-1 and can be used for separation of isomers of aromatic hydrocarbons.

Key words: liquid crystal, capillary chromatography, xylene, cresol, toluene, ethylbenzene.

The Influence of Suspension-forming Particles Size on Manganese Dioxide Electrosynthesis

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy L. Japaridze, July 19, 1999

 

Abstract. The influence of particles size of fine-suspended MnO2, graphite and pyrex glass on product quality, current efficiency, anodic potential value of titanium electrode and bath voltage have been studied in the process of manganese dioxide electrosynthesis from the acidified solution of manganese sulphate. It is shown, that the decrease of particles size from 630 mm to 50 mm positively affects the EMD obtaining process. The current efficiency, i.e  g-MnO2 content in synthesized product increases; anodic potential and bath voltage maintain stable values.

In conditions of long-term electrolysis in 0.01 g/l graphite and 0.005 g/l soot-containing suspension titanium electrode maintains stable active state. The 92-93% g-MnO2 with high current efficiency is obtained on the electrode. Carbon content in product doesn,t exceed 0.12%.

Abstract. By means of the alimentary-locomotion conditioned reflexes and delayed responses the higher nervous activity of dogs, cats, and albino rats was investigated in a course of development of informational neuroses. It was found that formation of the steady pathological reaction is preceded by the self-regulatory activity of the brain, which is aimed at enhancement of the central nervous system’s resistance of CNS against the pathogenic agent. In the animals of various stages of phylogenetic development, in a case of the similar influences on the brain, various forms of the self-regulation are dominating.

Action of Lipid Peroxidation on Monooxygenase System

Participating in Xenobiotic Detoxification

Presented by Corr. member of the Academy M. Gordeziani, December 7, 1999

 

Abstract. The influence of lipid peroxidation on plant monooxygenase system has been studied. It has been shown that lipid enzymatic peroxidation inhibitors decrease dimethylaniline N-demethylation and stimulators enhance xenobiotic monooxygenation. Under the action of radical particles formed at nonenzymatic peroxidation cytochrome P450 looses N-demethylase activity which could be partially restored by addition of lecithine. It was stated that initiated by Fe2+ ions inactivation of cytochrome P450 causes transformation of hemoprotein into peroxidase.

Effect of Nitrogen Doses and Inoculation on Vitamin Content in Soybean

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy N. Nutsubidze, May 31, 1999

 

Abstract. Influence of inorganic nitrogen and inoculation separately and together on content of thiamine and riboflavin in soybean (leaf, root, seed) has been studied. For inoculation strains 634b, 91 and 18 were used. Inorganic nitrogen was added in the form of NH4NO3 in following doses: 30 kg/ha, 60 kg/ha and 120 kg/ha. Strain 91 was the most favourable for plant, causing the increase of both vitamins content. While using nitrogen fertilizer it was revealed, that doses 30 kg/ha and 60 kg/ha were more suitable for the plant, as they increased vitamin content. While us­ing both, fertilizer and inoculation, the best results were obtained in “nitragin + 30 kg/ha” and “nitragin + 60 kg/ha” variants.
