A Maximum Principle in Signorini Problems
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy R. Bantsuri, March 6, 2001
Abstract. In the present paper, the analogue of the weak maximum principle for a scalar, linear eliptic equation, in coercive case is given. The result is applied to locate the coincidence set in the classical problem of Signorini for some concrete cases and also, for the formulation of the weak maximum principle for the same problem. An implicit Signorini problem was studied earlier by Bensoussan and Lions. They investigated the mentioned problem and proved the existence of solution, but the uniqueness result remained open. From the above mentioned results the uniqueness of a solution under asserted conditions is derived. If any of asserted conditions is missing, the existence might fail; in particular, there are found data, under which the problem has no solution at all.
Key words: Signorini problem, coercivity property.

Presented by Member of the Academy B.Balavadze, April 10, 2001
Abstract. On the basis of many years observation we aimed to establish the dependence of total and radiation balance change of solar energy on fluctuation of temperature field of the Earth's layer with account of solar activity change. We have processed total Q for 1975-1992, radiation balance R, temperature T, annual cycle of solar activity W. Correlation coefficient between them which is within the range of 0.9 was calculated. This helps to assume that the identity of the above fields is of high precision. On the basis of this we can compare the field of different meteorological values with total radiation or radiation balance and determine their interrelations.

Reaction on UV Radiation of Two Forms of Kidney Bean
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy N. Nutsubidze, January 21, 2001
Abstract. The influence of additional ultraviolet (UV) radiation and plants adaptation to it have been studied in two forms of kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. “Borjomula 16” and its yellow mutant M-61-2). Leaves photosynthetic activity, stomatal conductivity, starch content and nitrate reductase activity, also antioxidative substances: ascorbic acid, glutathione, carotenoids and tocopherol were studied. The obtained results have shown, that the studied forms of kidney bean differed in adaptation to the changed irradiation regime. In both varieties of plant high and low intensities of radiation caused the decreasing of photosynthesis, stimulation of stomatal conductivity, activation of synthesis of starch and nitrate reductase. The main defensive antioxidative systems revealed diverse reactions. In “Borjomula 16” carotenoids may be regarded as the main protective substances, while in mutant plant - ascorbic acid+glutathione and tocopherol.

Study of the Peculiarities of Growth Controlling Genes Expression in the Hepatocytes of White Rats under Conditions of Hormonal Disbalance
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy G. Tumanishvili, March 27, 2001
Abstract. It has been shown that in the hepatocytes of white rats stimulated for the proliferation under the conditions of the hormonal disbalance (bilateral adrenalectomy) the expression of the early response genes is essentially changed. The peak of the transcriptional activity of the delayed response genes emerges three hours earlier respectively. We also have demonstrated that the early mitoses start to show up in the hepatocytes of adrenalectomized rats stimulated for the proliferation after 6 hours of partial resection of the liver tissue. The early mitoses rising within 6 hours after the operation indicate the existence of the population of G02 cells with high ploidity in the liver tissue. The obtained results let us conclude that the reprogramming of genes controlling mitoses in stimulated hepatocytes is accelerated under the conditions of the hormonal disbalance.

Frequency Structure of Childhood Allergy in Summer and Fall in Tbilisi
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy Bakhutashvili, June 6, 2001
Abstract. Clinical investigations support mutually exclusive assumptions about relation between atmospheric pollen concentration and allergic symptomatology. We analyzed occurrence of pollinosis (rhinitis, conjunctivitis, rhino-conjunctivitis), asthma and dermatitis in summer and autumn. We have found, that there is no relation between the pollen concentration and the increase in attendances to medical facilities. The occurrence of respiratory allergy in summer substantially depends on children’s age but in fall this relation was not detected. Further studies may help to elucidate the cause of this phenomenon.

Calorimetric Study of Selected Globular Proteins by the Method of Thermal Annealing
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy T. Zaalishvili, July 10, 2001
Abstract. The method of thermal annealing at different preheating temperatures was applied in difference scanning calorimetric studies of representative globular proteins, myoglobin (at pH 9.0 and 10.7) and lysozyme (pH 3.0), with a special attention to the applicability of a three-state model for the protein denaturation process. The results obtained in certain cases can be explained on the basis of this model involving a native, and two denatured states, with the implication of the first reversible (fast) and the second irreversible (slow) stages, respectively. Deviations from this model that observed in some cases are also discussed, considering additional (“hybrid”) conformational sub-states.

Abstract. The three-state model for a thermal denaturation of globular proteins, including the native and two denaturated states, with the first stage assumed to be reversible and fast, and the second one deemed as irreversible and slow, is discussed in the context of relevant literature data. It is demonstrated that the “true” thermodynamic parameters for the first reversible stage can be obtained by linear plotting of the series of experimental data obtained at different scanning rates (presented in logarithmic coordinates), and by their extrapolation to hypothetical extremely high (but not infinite) scanning rates, amounting to 50 grad. sec-1.

The Ability of New Senescence Markers to Predict Kidney Function Recovery from Transplantation Associated Ishemia/Reperfusion Injury
Presented October 10, 2001
Abstract. None of the existing parameters of donor organ quality assessment can reliably predict post transplant graft function outcome and alternative markers therefore are under the research. The goal of our study was to check if renal senescence may impact the ability of kidney to recover from Tx associated stresses. For this purpose experimental model of rat kidney Tx was created. Estimation of sensitivity and specificity data showed that initial staining was more sensitive and specific marker and with the combination of both up to 100% of sensitivity could be reached. For the first time, the cellular senescence estimated in this study by
b-Gal expression and T length measurement, was found to be correlated with the whole organ senescence in vivo and could reliably predict the ability of rat kidney to withstand ishemia/reperfusion injury.Key words:

Main Prognostic Factors of High Aggressive Haematosarcomas
Presented by Member of the Academy T. Chanishvili, November 1, 2001
Abstract. Multivariant analysis of 447 cases of high grade malignancy of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (lymphoblastic, immunoblastic and reticulosarcoma) revealed that the presence or absence of intoxication symptoms and clinical stage I and stage II versus III and IV have the most important statistically significant prognostic value. Sex, age and histomorphologic variants have not such prognostic value, but at different time of observation these parameters revealed some prognostic significance. In fourth and fifth years the survival outcome is statistically sifficiently better in females. Median survival for immunoblastic lymphosarcoma is better than it is in lymphoblastic and reticulosarcoma. These data should be used in the selection of appropriate theurapeutic trials in the patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy R. Gordeziani, November 1, 2001
Abstract. Preference of the black colour by the mourners in the funeral ritual is connected with the idea that the black is an organic epithet of the underworld. Being dressed in blacks, dirtied with black ground creates the image of the participant of the ritual, as opposed to the dead – washed, dressed in the new clothes, covered with white. All these show that the colours connect the different worlds.
