Elliptic Cells and Fredholm Operators
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy N.Vakhania, January 8, 2001
Abstract. We consider images of balls under mappings satisfying certain linear elliptic systems of the first order. Some situations are described where families of such cells attached to a given submanifold can be described by Fredholm operators in appropriate function spaces. Using recent results of I.Stern, and of the present author on the existence of elliptic Riemann-Hilbert problems for generalized Cauchy-Riemann systems we indicate some classes of elliptic systems of the first order which give rise to non-linear Fredholm operators of such type.
Key words: generalized Cauchy-Riemann system, Clifford algebra, Dirac operator, attached elliptic cell, Fredholm operator, Riemann-Hilbert problem

The Mechanism of Divacancy Creation
Presented by Member of the Academy J.Lominadze, March 27, 2001
Abstract. In present paper, we propose the mechanism of vacancies motion and their interaction. It is shown that the easier vacancies motion the more electrons are captured by them. It is conditioned by the weakening of chemical bonds caused by antibonding electrons. We also explained one strange fact of negative vacancies to be attracted to each other which is caused by more weakening action of the trapped electron bonds by both vacancies on the atoms between vacancies, than on the other atoms being around vacancies.

Compounds Using Protective Layer
Presented by Member of the Academy T. Andronikashvili, February 6, 2001
Abstract. The protective layer (gold) inadequately solves in itself components A and B. The component A abandons the base crystal and participates in the formation of a new crystalline layer.
The dependence of a technological process on temperature shows that the extraction of a component A from the base crystal proceeds with different intensity. As a result, it is possible to obtain the stoichiometric samples and also the samples with deviation of stoichiometry towards component B. The results are proved by photoluminescence spectra.

Influence of Sucrose and Indoleacetic Acid on Source Function of Grapevine Leaves
Presented by Member of the Academy G. Sanadze, December 31, 2000
Abstract. The effect of sucrose and indoleacetic acid (IAA) on grapevine leaves (Vitis vinifera, L. cv. “Rkatsiteli”) source function has been studied, using short exposotions ( 3 hours and 24 hours) in berries intensive growth phase. The following indices were investigated: leaves photosynthetic activity, photoassimilates transport, stomatal conductivity and leaves specific weight. The obtained data have revealed, that both substances increased the leafs source strength, intensified the transport in acropetal and basipetal directions, enhanced leaves specific weight. Sucrose inhibited the photosynthesis and stomatal conductivity. IAA caused increasing of these indices. Starch accumulation showed controversial results: sucrose induced starch content increasing, while IAA decreased its accumulation.

Responses of Single Cells of Cortical Nucleus to Stimulation of Lateral, Basal and Medial Nuclei of the Amygdaloid Complex
Presented by Member of the Academy T.Oniani, March 28, 2000
Abstract. The responses of cortical nucleus (CoN) cells were studied following the stimulation of lateral, basal and medial nuclei of the amygdaloid complex. The efficiency of stimulation clearly depended upon the stimulated nuclear mass. The responses following the stimulation of medial nucleus were observed in 58.76 of investigated units. The percentage of responding units was much lower to lateral and basal nuclei stimulation (30.7 and 34.12% respectively).
The latent period in different units fluctuated from 2.5 to 82 msec. Short latency responses (less than 12 msec) were observed only to medial nucleus stimulation. By double stimulation method their orthodromic and transsynaptic nature was established. During the stimulation of basolateral part of the amygdaloid complex significant number of units responded with inhibition. Peculiarities of functional connections between investigated structures are discussed.

The Antifungal Resistance of Candida spp. Strains in Patients with Different Diseases
Presented by Member of the Academy G.Kvesitadze, May 26, 2000
Abstract. The resistance of Candida spp. strains to various groups and generations of antifungal agents in patients with different diseases was studied. There was marked a higher resistance of Candida spp. strains to old antifungal drugs (nystatin, levorin) and lower resistance to new antifungal agents (atrican, macmiror) in patients with dental and otorhinolaryngological diseases. There was revealed a higher resistance of Candida spp. strains to new antifungal agent - lamisyl (61.53±13.44%) and less resistance to old agent amphotericin-B (30.76±12.79%) in patients with gastrointestinal diseases. Candida spp. strains were resistant to nizoral and amphotericin B in 100% cases and resistant to old antifungal agent - nistatin (25.00±12.5%) in patients with infections of skin and soft tissues. Candida spp. strains had a higher to old agent, nystatin (84.00±4.23%) and amphotericin B (80.00±4.61%) and lower resistance to macmiror (26.66±5.1%).
Key words: antifungal resistance, Candida spp. strains, antifungal agents.

Peculiarities of Progredient Development of the Neurological Variations of Herpes Zoster According to Main Features of
Immune Status
Presented by Member of the Academy V.Okujava, June 19, 2001
Abstract. Herpes zoster virus or Varicella Zoster virus with herpes simplex virus of 1 and 2 types belongs to the subgroup of a-herpes viruses. These viruses are called neurotropic human herpes viruses (NHHV). Herpes Zoster (HZ) is characterized by polymorphic clinical manifestations, which are the results of acute VZV infections and pathological immune reactions. A total of 43 patients with HZ were examined at the age of 19-74 years. According to the variations of immune status the patients were divided into two groups: immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. Both groups were treated similarly. Acyclovir was used as the basic treatment (800 mg 5x daily for 7 days).
The dynamics of neurological manifestation and clinical symptoms restoration despite the performed etiological, pathogenetic and immunomodulative treatment are connected with the condition of human immune system and the clinical duration in immunocompromised patients more than in immunocompetentive ones.
Key words: herpes zoster, neurological variations, immunocompetent, immunocompromised.

The Role of the Freshwater Mollusks Planorbis planorbis in Epidemiology of Paramphistomidosis in Georgia
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy B.Kurashvili, March 6, 2001
Abstract. The freshwater mollusks Planorbis planorbis is the most wide spread species in Georgia and it is the main intermediate host of Paramphistomidosis pathogenes. From the investigated 6601 mollusks of this species 317 units (4.8%) were infected with Paramphistomidaes parthenites and their invasion reached maximum in August (6.7-8.9%). The other species of Planorbidae were free from Paramphistomidaes parthenites.
Key words: paramphistomidosis, planorbidae, parthenites.

The Structure of the Tushuri Sheep's Skin and Formation of the Hair Follicles in the Postembrionic Period
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy I.Eliava, November 28, 2000
Abstract. A study was made of the skin thickness of the Tushuri sheep and development of its separate layers as well as the peculiarities of wool follicles depending on age, sex and management. A great genetic potential of the Tushuri sheep wool production allows a high-quality wool from lambs at the 6 months of age to be obtained. This trait of the Tushuri sheep permits the prediction of wool production at an early age of sheep and its use in selection.

Liquidity as a Criterion of Bank Management
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy V.Papava, July 3, 2001
Abstract. Bank liquidity is a primary and most sensitive index of its state. Complete evaluation of liquidity using financial coefficients is rather complicated process. The requirement of the national bank for commercial banks to follow liquidity standards and other obligatory norms makes the precondition to start the unification of unprofitable banks for creating competitive banks. The mentioned process is closely connected with the creation of sanation institutions and requires formation of new mechanisms of sanation and bodies, which in its turn puts forward the problem of forming deposits insurance system for commercial banks of Georgia.
Key words: liquidity, financial coefficients, sanation.
