Identification of Static Systems represented by Volterra Polynomials with Nonseparable Kernels

Presented by Member of the Academy V. Chavchanidze, September 15, 2003

ABSTRACT. The solution of the problem of "black box" identification consists in searching for a mathematical model of the concrete diminishing (DS) or enlarging system (ES) in various classes of static systems (quasilinear systems, systems represented by Volterra polynomials with separable kernels and by those with nonseparable kernels). Methods of finding the desired mathematical model in the first two classes are developed by the author earlier.

CORRELATION FUNCTIONS OF THE SPIN S=1/2 EXTENDED XY MODEL

Presented November 11, 2003

ABSTRACT. The large-distance asymptotic behavior of the spin-spin correlation functions of the spin extended XY model has been studied using the bosonization approach. The model describes the spin system on a zigzag chain, which is characterized in addition to the standard transverse exchange between spins on neighboring sites (), by the three-spin interaction. This three-spin coupling describes the "correlated exchange" interaction (), where the transverse exchange between spins on next-to-nearest neighbor sites depends on the "z" projection of an intermediate spin. The quantum phase transition, separating two different spin-liquid phases, takes place in the ground state of the system at 2J. In this paper we study in detail the large-distance behavior of various spin-spin correlation functions in these two spin-liquid phases. © 2004 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

Supramolecular self-assembly systems in biochemistry: the Complex between triple helix of Collagen and double helix of DNA in aqueous solution

Presented by Member of the Academy G.Kvesitadze, September 2, 2003

ABSTRACT. The living cell exists as a result of processes that generate complex, multicomponent, functional structures by self-assembly. We demonstrate in this paper that one of the examples of biologically important molecular self- assembling complex systems is collagen-DNA ordered aggregate spontaneously formed in aqueous solutions. Interaction between collagen and DNA leads to the destruction of hydration shell of triple helix and to stabilization of the double helix structure, including the hydration shell of DNA. From the viewpoint of molecular biology this nano-scale self- assembling superstructure can determine the raising of the stability of DNA against the nucleases during the collagen diseases. © 2004 Bull.

INVESTIGATION OF ETIOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN CHILDREN OF DIFFERENT AGE CATEGORIES

Presented December 30, 2003

ABSTRACT. In order to study the structure of enteral infections in children of different ages, total of 372 clinical samples have been investigated. It was determined that in all age groups of children the dysbiotic disorders of enteral microbiocenosis were evident. In about 90% of children the dysbiotic disorders of enteral microflora are characterized with the presence of conditionally pathogenic bacteria.

Morpho-Functional Characteristics of the Vessels in Induced Adenoma of the Colon

Presented July 8, 2003


Abstract. The microcirculatory bed of induced adenoma of colon has been studied hystologically, ultrastructurally and electronic-autoradiographycally. Vascular net of adenoma of colon is presented by preformed and neoplastic blood vessels. Newly formed blood vessels create a group with very different structural and functional characteristics. Some newly formed blood vessels are characterized with middle level of differentiation, but none of them cannot ensure normal regulation of metabolism. Also the influence of preparation Plaferon on cancerogenesis of colon is studied. Namely, in adenoma, formed under Plaferon affection the rate of angiogenesis decreases. By our opinion, it is caused by antihypoxic, anti-inflammatory activity of Plaferon. The obtained results may be considered as a confirmation of the fact, that the functional state of cellular elements of stroma significantly determines the functional state of parenchymal elements and the peculiarities of cancerogenesis. © 2004 Bull.

INVESTIGATION OF THE LIPID PEROXIDATION DURING THE STROKE

Presented by Member of the Academy T. Oniani, September 23, 2004

Abstract. The aim of the work was a priority investigation of the distribution of lipid peroxidation during cerebral stroke, specifically, investigation of this parameters in both cerebral and systemic circulation vessels. The parameters of lipid peroxidation were investigated in the blood samples drawing from the common carotid artery, as well as from the both internal jugular and the cubital veins. The amount of MDA (the end product of lipid peroxidation) was significantly

higher in the blood flowing out from damaged hemisphere as compared to: 1) contralateral one (P=0.001) ; 2) the cubital vein (P=0.005) and 3) the carotid artery (P<0.001). MDA amount in the blood flowing out from damaged hemisphere was by 58% higher (P=0.046, T=2.12) as compared to the blood flowing out from the right hemisphere of control patients and by 53% higher (P=0.060, T=1.98) as compared to the blood flowing from the left hemisphere of the control patients. The results of this study suggest that pathological changes in the lipid peroxidation has a localised character at least on this stage of the disease development. © 2004 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

bronchial asthma as neurogenic paroxysmal disease: high antiasthmatic efficacy of carbamazepine in doble-blind randomized placebo-controlled TRIAL

Presented by the Member of the Academy T. Oniani, January 4, 2004

Abstract. Based on the assumption that bronchial asthma is neurogenic paroxysmal and inflammatory disease, antiasthmatic activity of carbamazepine was investigated in patients with bronchial asthma. 59 patients with asthma were randomized into double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Stable remission was established after carbamazepine treatment in 33 patients (n=45). No significant improvement was registered in patients of placebo group (n=14). Based on high efficacy of anticonvulsants in patients with bronchial asthma, we supposed that bronchial asthma can be considered as neurogenic paroxysmal and inflammatory disease with complex pathogenic mechanisms. © 2004 Bull.

MORPHOLOGICAL AND IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL STATUS OF TONSILS AT PARODONTITES OF LOW, AVERAGE AND HIGH DEGREE

Presented by Member of the Academy N. Javakhishvili, December 23, 2003

ABSTRACT. Recently, the immunologic aspect of a parodont has attracted considerable attention. It has been established that in the development of the local immune reaction of an oral cavity, the decisive role is played by the regional provision of soft tissue around a tooth, and in this tonsils have leading factor. Judging from the above said, any pathological process occurring with immunologic violations in an oral cavity and in parodont might have certain correlations with various degrees of damages to tonsils and with the immunologic status.

Histochemical analysis show that at parodontites of high degree the immunoreactive process in tonsils is depressed. This is demonstrated by the decrease of the number of pholicules, monocytic macrophagues, T lymphocytes in les zone, B lymphocytes in les zone, in pholicular reproduction centres, in a mantle zone compared to average degree parodontites. © 2004 Bull.

On THE ISSUES OF SOUTH-EASTERN EUROPEAN REGIONALISM

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy A. Silagadze, December 9, 2003

Abstract. Currently South-Eastern European regionalism is facing two dilemmas: 1. How to link correctly regional integration relations with USA and Russia for co-operation of vital significance; 2. How to ensure smooth harmonization of South-Eastern European nation's self-identification in the region with the leading role of one of the countries (e.g. Georgia).

One version of South-Eastern European regionalism direction is its development and institutionalization.

The second direction - version is the integration development within the frameworks of sub-regional associations i.e. South-Eastern European regionalism and the Black Sea Countries or South-Eastern European region and the European Union.

The third dimension - direction is the realisation of various conceptions, which in one or another way are linked with the development of economic integration of control goods and financial flows etc. in South-Eastern European region.

Development of South-Eastern European regionalism should promote the progress of multilateral relations and dialogue between the Europe and Asia. © 2004 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

Study of Public Sector Economics as Necessary Condition of Social Orientation

Presented by Corr.Member of the Academy A.Silagadze, March 16, 2004

Abstract. Scientific and technological progress and globalization of economic relations put forward "new social problem". It becomes necessary to provide conditions for the formation of civil society. New socius and the deepening of humanitarian processes have been put on the foreground. This situation accelerates the formation of the economics of the public sector as the science, which proceeding from the drawbacks of market, studies the necessity of public production, protection of the society from negative outer effects (externalizes), urgent problems of preservation of natural monopolies and correction of negative social results accompanying market economy. Public sector economics as educational discipline is widely implemented in universities, including post communist countries. © 2004 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.
