The Peculiarities of the Kinetics of Annealing of A-centres in the n-type Silicon Crystals Irradiated with High Energy Particles

Presented March 15, 1999

 

Abstract. Samples on n-type silicon irradiated with 2 and 8 MeV electron and 25 MeV proton beams have been studied. It has been shown that the higher the irradiation nergy, the lower the temperature of the annealing of A-centres is.

The overlapping of effective radii caused by the increase of concentration and sizes of disordered areas takes place while iraadiation with large doses of high energy particles. Huge inclusions of P-type are formed. This is equal to reduction of disordered areas concentration (i.e. the decreasing of the quantity of effective traps of vacancies) that, apparently is the cause of the observed changes in the annealing kinetics of A-centres.

Key words: n-type silicon, irradiating with electron and proton beams, the irradiation dose and evergy, the annealing kinetics of A-centres.

Directions of Evolution of Subtribe Koleriinae (Gramineae)

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy G. Nakhutsrishvili, March 29, 1999

 

Abstract. The survey was conducted to understand the character of evolution and phylogeny of the subtribe Koeleriinae. The work is based on multivarious studies (morphology, anatomy, caryology, geography, ecology) of the subtribe Koeleriinae represented in the Caucasus genera (Trisetum, Trisetaria, Rostraria, Koeleria). The analysis reveal, that genus Trisetum is very close to the general Trisetaria and Rostraria on the one hand, and also to the genus Koeleria, on the other hand. Among these four genera of subtribe Koeleriinae the genus Trisetum may be distinguished, representing basis of the subtribe. From original primitive ancestor groups of Trisetum two major directions of evolution began to develop, as a result of which the new genera of subtribe Koeleriinae were formed.

Presented February 23, 1999

 

Abstract. The role of Amiridin in the stress-induced behavior regulation has been studied in the male adult rats. The above preparation was administered by animal itself, which may be viewed as an analogue of the self-stimulation method. Positive influence of Amiridin self-administration on the unification of the two defensive conditioned reflexes was found in the experiments. Such influence was evidenced by increase of the adequate responses from 20-30% up to 40-50%. These behavioral responses are considered as a self-regulatory behavior, which must play biologicall positive role hence increasing the organism’s protective abilities against the pathologies.

Dynamics of some Parameters of Cortical Electrical Activity and REM in Cat’s Sleep-Wakefulness Cycle during Alcoholization

Presented July 5, 1999

 

Abstract. The effects of ethanol administration for several days on the structure of sleep-wakefulness cycle and some of its electroencephalographic parameters were studied in cats. The analysis of the data shows that during alcoholization the spindle activity frequency is changed, and less changes are observed in the dynamics of ponto-geniculo-occipital-spikes and rapid eye movements. This supports the suggestion that during ethanol administration the slow-wave sleep mechanisms are more disturbed than the mechanism of the paradoxical sleep.

Method of Chemical Modification in a-Actinin and Actin Interaction Study

Presented February 22, 1999

 

Abstract. Using the bifunctional and monofunctional reagents in the study of muscle proteins a-actinin and actin interaction we have established, that there are two sites for a-actinin linkage on the polypeptide chain of actin and actin-binding center of a-ctinin is oriented so, that the histidine and lysine amino residues are located on the surface of the a-actinin molecule and the tryptophan residues - in the depth.

Key words: a-actinin, actin, chemical modification.

The Use of Genetic Methods in the Genus Apodemus Wood Mouse Taxonomy

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy I. Eliaca, May 31, 1999

 

Abstract. We present the results of the rotary interbreeding of the different groups of the genus Apodemus wood mouse. On the basis of the study of a vital activity and reproduction ability of the “hybrids” of F1, F2 and F3 generations it is shown that the wood mice with the yellow breast spots and without them belong to the same species Apodemus sylvaticus. The presence of the yellow spot on the breast of some individuals is genetically determined and its phenotypical manifestation occurs at a definite age of the mouse, but the shape and size of the spot are of the paragenetic character.

Key words: taxonomy, wood mouse, yellow breast spot, coloration, age group.
