On Embedded Markovian Processes with the Supplementary Variable
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy R.Bantsuri, January 9, 2001
Abstract. In this work, a generalized mathematical scheme of random processes, with the help of which it is possible to describe a wide range of real queueing systems (data transmitting networks, computer systems, etc.) and to solve some problems of the reliability theory, is offered. The necessity in developing such a scheme has arisen in connection with an increasing sophistication of real automated control systems when the available methods do not cover all problem statements that interest a practical worker.
So, it is necessary to develop an analytical apparatus capable to consider a great variety of active factors in order to create the models which fit the original adequately, i.e. are maximally approximated to the original.
Keywords: random processes, queue, waiting time, reliability, theory.

Presented by Member of the Academy T.Oniani, July, 1, 2000
Abstract. The analysis of the situation existing in professional testing has shown that in order to implement International Standards for testing aimed on professional selection in Georgian conditions it is necessary to carry out spade-work. At the current stage it is considered to be especially important to clarify the possibility of application of GAT (non-verbal and numerical) in local conditions. For this 138 volunteers (average age 32±9.1, male - 77, female – 61) were investigated. The analysis of testing norm representativeness allows to conclude that for the majority of people the methodological training allowing them to acquire skills necessary to complete the procedure is necessary. In order to evaluate test scores adequately it is desirable to develop flexible algorithms for each population.

The Possibility of More than one Hair Formation in one Follicle of Sheep Skin
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy G.Tumanishvili, December 12, 2000
Abstract. We have studied the action of threefold shaving for the first 15 months of lamb’s life : prekoss breed, Georgian fine-wooled, Georgian half fine-wooled and Tusheen. The experimental data testify that threefold shaving makes strong action on the organism of the animal and stimulates the formation of some hair fibrillae inside hair follicle. Such follicles were detected in prekoss from 100 follicles - 12.6; in lambs of Georgian fine-wooled - 10.6; in Georgian half fine-wooled - 9.8; in Tusheen -1.0. Our results suggest that temperature factor of thermoregulation caused by threefold shaving stimulates the appearance of genetically programmed feature necessary for adaptation.
Key words: sheep, follicle, hair formation.

Fixed Set of 7 - 12 Years Old Children in Correlation with
Interpersonal Attitudes
Presented by Member of the Academy N.Tatishvili, May 29, 2001
Abstract. A comparative analysis of the fixed set and interpersonal attitudes has been made in 112 children. The D.Uznadze Fixed Set method and the method of children’s and animal projection, adapted in the Georgian Institute of Psychology, have been used. Relations between the child’s personal set and the attitudes towards parents, members of the family, teachers, and mates, have been established. Positive attitudes towards the associates were displayed by the children with predominant plastic-dynamic set, while the negative attitudes – by the children with awkward-static- and zero set.
Key words: fixed psychological set, interpersonal relations, children.

Dynamics of variability of myocardial contractility indices in
patients with hypertension
Presented by Member of the Academy T. Oniani, October 31, 2000
Abstract. In present study we have evaluated exponents of regression of power spectrum -
a and Lempel-Ziv complexity measure (LZC) of myocardial contractile indices of healthy persons and patients with hypertension. Namely, variability of mean velocity of myocardial fibers circular contraction (MVCC), end diastolic pressure (EDP) and ejection fraction (EF) were investigated in patients with different form of arterial hypertension.It was found that considered indices of myocardial contractile functions in healthy persons and patients with mild form of hypertension are characterized by high extent of variability while mentioned indices in patients with moderate and severe forms of hypertension practically do not change.
Key words:
