In semiconducting materials at a rather low temperature when carriers of current have not sufficient energy for transition from impurity levels into conductivity bands, which is caused by electrons jump from one impurity to the other into band without activation takes place. Such jumps are called jumpwise conductivity. This mechanism of conductivity lays the foundation to the work of numerous devices and it is interesting from the scientific viewpoint. However in educational programs on condensed medium and semiconductor physics it is either not considered at all or has not sufficient attention. It is stressed that in the learning course on the mechanism of semiconductors conductivity it is obligatory not to be limited only with band conduction but deal with complete temperature interval including low temperature nonband conduction mechanism, which demonstrates the processes proceeding in semiconducting materials more fully. Key words: jumpwise conductivity. GEOPHYSICS

Galdava Application of Glutoxim as Immunomodulating Means in Complex Therapy of Chronic Inflammatory Processes of Genital Organs in Infertile Males Presented by Member of the Academy V. Bakhutashvili, April 8, 2003 ABSTRACT. The obtained results testify the high curative effect of Glutoxim at chronic inflammatory processes of genital organs. The use of the mentioned remedy in complex therapy of infertile males with chronic inflammatory processes of urogenital organs makes the treatment more effective on the expense of autoimmune processes regulation. The absence of side effects and complications against the background of antibioticotherapy testify to the capability of Glutoxim for prevening immuno-suppressing action of antibiotics. Glutoxim promotes restoration of immunity T-system, which is expressed in normalization of absolute and percent number of T-lymphocytes, T-helpers, T-suppressers, phagocytic activity of neutrophils, phagocytic number and index, IL-8 concentration in blood. Based on carried out investigations Glutoxim can be recommended for the treatment of patients of the above mentioned category. Key words: infertility, immunity, IL-8, Glutoxim. Experimental Medicine T. Geladze, G. Japaridze, D. Kvernadze, Z. Kevanishvili Auditory Slow Cortical Potential in Patients with Partial Epilepsy Presented by Member of the Academy, S. Khechinashvili, July 3, 2003 Abstract. Auditory slow cortical potentials (SCPs) have been registered in 36 patients with partial epilepsy previously untreated by anticonvulsants. Peak-latencies, interpeak intervals and amplitudes were estimated and the mean group values were compared with the respective data in age- and gender-matched healthy individuals. SCP char



acteristics demonstrated regular differences: the P2 peak-latency in the patients was prolonged and both the P1N1 and N1P2 amplitudes were increased. Considering the mechanisms of the SCP, it has been suggested that the SCP-generating cortical areas, being primarily of non-specific qualities, are intimately involved in the mechanisms of epilepsy. Key words: auditory evoked potentials, slow cortical potential, partial epilepsy, parameter peculiarities. Experimental Medicine I. Tchokhonelidze The Association of 24-Hour Blood Pressure Levels in CAPD Patients with Peritoneal Transport Properties Presented by Member of the Academy L. Managadze, September 9, 2003 ABSTRACT. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is the method of renal replacement therapy in the patients with chronic renal failure, that provides more effective management of hypertension and extracellular volume overload, than hemodialysis. However, beyond 2 years of treatment with peritoneal dialysis some of patients were overhydrated and had hypertention and LVH. We have investigated peritoneal transport properties in our CAPD patients by means of peritoneal equilibration test and tried to find the correlation between the peritoneal transport properties and overhydration rate. We have shown, that the high and high average transporters are more often fluid overloaded and are therefore more frequent hypertensive than low and low average transporters. These findings indicate, that for decreasing the hypertension and for reducing the incidence of cardiovascular mortality in CAPD patients it is important to tailor the CAPD regime after the peritoneal equilibration test, that provides better dehydration and normalizes blood pressure. Key words: continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, peritoneal equilibration test, peritoneal transport, hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy. Experimental Medicine M. Gagua, L. Jvarsheishvili, Ts. Kharaishvili The Role of Transvaginal Color Doppler in the Differential Diagnosis of Ovarian Tumors and Tumor-Like Lesions Presented by Member of the Academy F. Todua, July 1, 2003 Abstract. Transvaginal color doppler imaging is considered to be the most reliable method for evaluating the vascularization of the ovarian tumors and tumor-like lesions. Malignant ovarian tumors, in comparison with benign tumors, have characteristic blood flow features. According to our records, benign ovarian lesions have a scant blood supply located



peripherally with a high resistance to blood flow; however, malignant tumors are highly vascularized lesions with mostly centrally located vascularization and a low vascular resistance to blood flow. Key words: ovary, diagnosis, dopplerography, tumor, angiogenesis. Experimental Medicine V. Verkhovskiy, I. Vernigora, E. Molyuk, Iu.

Presented by Member of the Academy G. Giorgadze, October 28, 2003

Abstract. In the present paper, we consider the synthesis of artistic and psychological aspects with the specificity of television. The art of television represents an independent sphere of art, which includes any genre, artistic form and style. Irrespective of all this it is an original piece of art, which is constantly subjected to variability and perfection. However all this requires systematic control in order for television specificity or telearchitectonics not to be broken even for a second. The synthesis of artistic and psychological aspects should happen in such way that television can always dominate.

Key words: television art.
