On Reliability of Active Elements Working in Regime of Negative Differential Conductivity

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy A. Khelashvili, December 28, 2000

Abstract. We have evidently calculated field dependence of free electrons' concentration under the existence of Coulomb barrier in approximation of quasi-elastic scattering in crossed electric and magnetic fields when effective cross-section of the capture along with Zomerfeld multiplier exponentially depends on the energy of electron tunneled through the barrier. The influence of this exponential multiplier and magnetic field on the electric field corresponding to the minimum of free electrons concentration are calculated. For rising of active elements' reliability it is advisable to work in relatively weak electric field.

Impact of Nonperiodic Components in Dynamics of Water Level Variations in Boreholes

Presented February 20, 2001

Abstract. In present study dynamic complexity of water level variations has been analysed. Dependence of dynamics on the presence of periodic components in considered data records (time series) was investigated. Modern tools of time series analysis such as Lempel-Ziv complexity measure (LZC) and singular value decomposition (SVD) technique have been used. Values of LZC of original and SVD reconstructed water level records before and after Spitak and Racha earthquakes were analysed.

It was shown that dynamic complexity of water level variations is caused by nonperiodic components of time series and is insensitive to the exclusion of periodical influences corresponding to the three main principal components.

Key words: dynamics, water level variations, complexity measure.

Some Aspects of Regulation of Na,K-ATPase by
Neurotransmitters

Presented by Member of the Academy T.Oniani, April 25, 2000

ABSTRACT. Glutamate, asparagine, GABA (g-aminobutyric acid), glycine, proline do not influence Na,K-ATPase obtained from rat brain either separately or with specific protein in synaptic cytosol – synaptosomal factor (SF), while Na,K-ATPase activity changes under the influence of noradrenaline, serotonin, dopamine and adrenaline. The latter, in its turn, is regulated by the SF. It is supposed that there are two different mechanisms of neurotransmitters action in synaptic transmission with the participation of Na,K-ATPase, which, in its turn, should be concerned the action of some secondary messengers and without Na,K-ATPase, what may be due to the action of neurotransmitters on ion channels.

Key words: Na,K-ATPase, neurotransmitter (NT), specific proteins regulating Na,K-ATPase in synaptosomal cytosol, synaptosomal factor (SF).

Effects of Galanthamine and Atropine on Short-Term Memory in the Rats

Presented by Member of the Academy T.Ioseliani, March 28, 2000

ABSTRACT. The effects of acetylcholinestherase inhibitor substance (galanthamine) and muscarinic cholinoreceptor blocker (atropine) on the spatial delayed reaction were investigated in the adult Wistar rats. It was found that galanthamine causes improvement of the short-term memory. This action should be due to the cholinergic transmission facilitation, which, in its turn, is involved in the short-term memory mechanisms. Along with this it is possible that galanthamine enhances the rate of anxiety, increases the excitability and facilitates excitation reverberation in the CNS. On the other hand, atropine administration seriously impaired the delayed reactions owing to the blockage of cholinergic receptors and to the other side-effects, which accompany the atropine action.

Key words: short-term memory, acetylcholine, galanthamine, atropine, anxiety, rats

of Amygdaloid Complex to Medial Nucleus

Presented by Member of the Academy T.Oniani, March 14, 2000

ABSTRACT. The purpose of this study was to map efferent projections from basolateral part of amygdaloid complex to medial nucleus (MN). Single unit responses were recorded in the MN following electrical stimulation of the basal and lateral nuclei (BN, LN) in unanaesthetized, immobilized cats. The LN stimulation influenced 23 (33.8%) out of the 68 units, whereas to BN stimulation 59 (49.476%) out of 119 units being found. The most effective sites for influencing on MN cells were located in parvicellular part of BN. Following stimulation single cell recordings in the MN showed two basic types of response. The 58% of the cells studied responded with excitation and others showed a suppression of discharge. Latencies to first spike ranged from 16 to 68 msec when the LN was stimulated and from 5.3 to 54 msec when the stimulating electrodes were located in the BN. The possibility of mono- and polysynaptic connections from basolateral amygdala to MN was discussed.

Application of the Phage Titer Increasing Reaction in Detection of P.aeruginosa Microbes

Presented March 21, 2000

ABSTRACT. Applicability of the P.aeruginosa specific phage in phage titer increasing reaction (PTIR) has been established. By means of this method rapid (within 5-18 hours) detection of respective bacteria is possible, even in the presence of other microflora and regardless the concentration of the material under study. Common bacteriological analysis requires no less than 3 days. The PTIR is efficient even in those cases when bacteriological analysis does not reveal and identify the pathogenic agent. With the aim to test the PTIR efficiency total of 70 clinical samples (blood, urine, pus, wash-down from various objects) were investigated. Analysis of the data obtained has shown that the number of positive responses in the PTIR investigations 2-4-times exceeded those obtained by the microbiological examination. Results of investigation allow to recommend the indicator pyocyaneus-bacteriophage as the rapid means for diagnostics of P.aeruginosa.

In the 1960s and 1970s when microbial identification was based on traditional microbiology methods Matsoni was equated to Bulgarian yogurt which is composed of Lb. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus (i.e Lb. bulgaricus) and St. thermophilus (with the ratio 1:1). Due to modern methodology it was shown that by bacterial composition Caucasian Matsoni remarkably differs from the Bulgarian yogurt. It is composed of Lb. delbrueckii ssp. lactis and St. thermophilus (with the ratio 1:3). Probiotic effect of the endemic Caucasian product Matsoni is determined by Lb. delbrueckii ssp. lactis. According to the preliminary results antagonistic Lb. delbrueckii ssp. lactis produces exogenic inhibitory agent that is active against great variety of bacteria such as pathogenic species of Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Ps. aeruginosa, E. coli, Salmonella and yeast like Candida lucitaniae which is a common contaminant of dairy plants.

Key words: lactic acid bacteria, dairy starters, bacterial antagonism.

Virulence Structure of the Georgian Population of Puccinia striiformis West f. sp. tritici Eriks

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy G.Nakhutsrishvili, January 25, 2000

Abstract. The causal agent of wheat yellow rust, Puccinia striiformis West f. sp. tritici Eriks, was developed everywhere in Georgia during 1987-1998. The most wide-spread pathotype is 6EO (83%) with genes for virulence pp6, pp7. The virulence structure of the pathogen in Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan were similar. This allows to conclude that the pathogen population in the Transcaucasus is a unit.

Effect of Constant Magnetic Field on the Organizm of Guinea-Pigs

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy V. Mosidze April 1, 2000

Abstract. The exposure of 300 E constant magnetic field results in the structural and morphological changes of the peripheral blood and the brain cells in guinea pigs. These deep changes must be due, on the one hand, to the effect of magnetic field directly on the hipothalamo-hypophysic system (causing damage to the blood-forming organs) and on the other hand, to the feedback effect of blood-forming organs on the brain cells.

Determination of Carcinogenicity on the Basis of the Theory of "Two Synkaryons"

Presented by Member of the Academy N.Javakhishvili, February 29, 2000

Abstract. Those substances and influences, which induce somatic cells fusion (and cell membranes’ perforations) are probably potential oncogenic agents. Positive fusogenic effect (i.e. appearance of two- and polynuclear hetero- and homokaryons) of all known carcinogens with negative control tests, in our opinion, may be confirmed by this mechanism ( fusion) of malignization and also may allow using this method for determination of carcinogenicity of chemical substances.
