The System of Axioms of the Axiomatic Theory of Transformable Systems
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy V.Kokilashvili, April 10, 2001
Abstract. We can formulate the foundations of the theory of transformable systems (a well-known theory in engineering) as the foundations of the theory of mathematical type. Theorems of the given theory are proved basing on the substantial axiomatics, and at that, if we exclude any axiom from the system of axioms then we’ll obtain the depleted reserve of theorems what means that each of the axioms is independent. It can’t be derived from other axioms of the system. The independency of every member of axioms system in axiomatic theory of transformable systems is the independency of the whole system, and this last approves the elegancy of considered axiomatic formulation of the mentioned theory.

Earthquake Related Disturbance in Stationarity of Water Level Variation
Presented May 22, 2001
Abstract. We have investigated disturbance of stationarity of water level variations of three boreholes in Georgia before and after Spitak earthquake. Stationarity testing was based on calculation of the coefficient of variation - C
v. Sequential values of Cv and water level records by consecutive lengthening of considered time series, as well as the sequence of Cv at fixed width sliding windows have been calculated.It was shown that integral dynamics of water level hourly change in boreholes for considered time period was clearly nonstationary. At the same time water level changes were sufficiently stationary if taken separately before and after strong earthquake.
Apparently there is intermittence in stress generating processes after strong earthquake. This in turn lead to the mixing of data values corresponding to the different in sense of underlying dynamics processes and consequently to the disturbance of stationarity of integral time series.
Key words:
water level variations, dynamics, stationarity.

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy M. Salukvadze, November 13, 2001
Abstract. The paper reports on the possibility of construction of a simple, considerably cheap thermoelectric generator (TEG) on the basis of the existing high effective low-temperature p-type (Bi-Sb-Te) and medium-temperature n-type (PbTe) thermoelectric materials to transform the heat obtained from any source of organic fuel directly into electric power. The technology of production and further commutation of p- and n-branches of TEG is given as well as the TEG construction and its characteristics. It was shown that if TEG consisted of 162 pairs of branches, the temperature in the heat-absorbing and heat-generating nodes equalled 290K and 550K, respectively, their maximal power would be 12.5 W at 6 v.

Influence of Partial Defoliation on Photosynthesis and Plastid Pigments Content in Grapevine Leaves
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy N. Nutsubidze, April 10, 2001
Abstract. The effect of partial defoliation on pigments (chlorophylls and carotenoids) content and photosynthetic activity of grapevine leaves has been investigated in daily dynamics and following the phases of vegetation. The one year old shoots of fruit-bearing plants of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L., var. “Rkatsiteli”) served as an experimental material. On experimental shoots the 2/3 of leaves were removed. Data were taken on the third day after defoliation.
It was shown, that defoliation didn’t change the daily dynamics of variation of plastid pigments amount, but it increased the quantity of chlorophylls and carotenoids in leaves, both in daily dynamics and in different phases of vegetation. These results are in accordance with the data of photosynthetic activity of leaves.

Interrelation between Na, K, and Ca Ions Transport Values and DNA Synthesis in the Tumor Cells Before- and After Ionizing Irradiation
Presented by Member of the Academy K.Nadareishvili, April 24, 2001
Abstract. The goal of the work was to determine a relation between the content of DNA in the tumor cells, as related to the level of transmembrane transport of Na, K, and Ca ions, in both intact and irradiated conditions at various doses. Experiments have shown increased transmembrane transport of these ions in the tumor cells (sarcoma-37) as compared to the normal fibroblasts. In such a case the content of DNA in the cells is linked with the volume of transmembrane transport of the ions. Ionizing irradiation at a dose of 200 rd suppresses ionic transport of Na, K, and Ca in the tumor cells and, in a correlational way, content of DNA as well.

The Use of Refrakterinв in the Management of Ischemic and Nonischemic Refractory Heart Failure and Energostimв in Ischemic Heart Disease
Presented January 15, 2002
Abstract. It has been shown that a direct action antihypoxant Energostim
в with antioxidant properties is an effective drug for treating patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). Energostimв when added to the standard therapy reduces the size of peri-infarction zone and prevents the expansion of necrotic zone. As a result, the complications associated with remodelling and regional contractility increase most probably by restoring the function of hibernating myocardium. The cardiotropic drug Refrakterinв, containing Energostimв, when given to those with congestive heart failure (CHF) caused by IHD as well in post-coronary aortic bypass grafting patients with advanced CHF and arrhythmias, confers an immediate and significant positive effect, improves the functional class of CHF, cardiac hemodynamic, quality of patients life and severity of atrial fibrillation.Key words:

Investigation of Mitogen Activity of the Tissue Growth Factors in Culture and Organism
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy F. Todua, December 26, 2001
Abstract. The growth factor (GF) obtained from calf’s brain in our laboratory was investigated on the growth of endothelial cells’ culture in different concentrations in proportion to heparin 2:1. The following concentrations of GF were investigated: 100; 200; 400; 600
mg/ml of medium. The most effective concentration of growth factor is 200 mg/ml in combination with 100 mg/ml of heparin. The research of this concentration of GF and heparin allows to receive quickly proliferating culture of endothelial cells with the population doubling time of 24 hours.We investigated the possible mitogenic effect of GF on different organs after one-time intra muscular injection of laboratory white rats (equal 0.002 g/kg of animal’s weight).
The investigation of the organs showed no pathological processes.
Key words:
growth factor, endothelial cell, population doubling time, mitogen activity.

Phonotactic Restrictions for Disposition of Class Signs in Verb Stems of the Tabasaranian Language
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy G.Topuria, December 25, 2001
Abstract. In present paper, we consider the phonotactic restrictions for disposition of class signs in verb stems of the Tabasaranian language. In the northern dialect of the Tabasaranian the grammatical class is preserved, whereas in the southern dialect it is lost. In the nouns it is lexico-semantic category and in the verbs it is morphological category. Class sign in the verb is either prefix or infix.
I. In verb stems with VC structure class sign is prefix. When adding class sign in anlaut the closed syllable is formed which is natural for the Tabasaranian language (CVC).
II. Verb stems with VC structure when the subject stands for the class of people simultaneously address prefix-infixation.
III. In verb stems with CVC structure class sign is infix. For infixation either r or w. Will be used the Tabasaranian language avoids the use of consonant clusters grouping and admits only the consonant clusters containing sonor. The disposition of class signs has phonotactic restrictions.
Key words: phonotactic restrictions, Tabasaranian language, grammatical class.
