Harmonic forms on the Poisson manifolds

Presented by Member of the Academy N. Berikashvili, December 2, 2003

ABSTRACT. In this paper we obtained some results of research of harmonic forms on Poisson manifolds. Namely we receive the condition when the product of the de Rham cohomology classes which includes harmonic representatives can be represented by harmonic form. We also give some examples, which show that not all de Rham cohomology classes (in general case) could be represented by harmonic forms. © 2004 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

KINETICS OF MULTiVACANT RADIATION DEFECTS FORMATION IN n-TYPE SILICON CRYSTALS

Presented by Member of the Academy T. Sanadze, October 4, 2003

ABSTRACT. Impact of infrared light on the nature of radiation defects (RD) in electron irradiated n-type silicon has been studied. The samples were irradiated with 2 MeV electrons and isochronously annealed (IA) in 80-700ºC temperature interval, step 20ºC. Within the temperature range from 77 to 300K, in every 10 minutes interval, concentration of electrons was measured using the Hall method. It has been shown that in n-Si crystals illuminated with hn=0.42eV photons and irradiated by electrons, PV2 type RD form, which lead to increase of radiation stability in the studied samples, because while forming PV2 defects twice as much vacancies are consumed. An opinion that formation of PV2 follows the following reactions: (PV)- + hn (PV)º; (PV)º+V-(PV2)- is expressed. © 2004 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

The Study Of Temperature Regimes Of Low-power Nuclear Facility With Natural Circulation Of Coolant

Presented by Member of the Academy G. Kharadze, February 17, 2004

Abstract. Research nuclear IRT-M reactor of the Institute of Physics, Georgian Academy of Sciences was decommissioned by covering of the lower radioactive part of reactor tank with concrete. This gives the unique possibility to install in the remained part of the reactor tank a new low-power nuclear facility (of the order of 50kW) based on natural circulation of coolant, which can be used for solving a number of practical and scientific problems. The calculations of thermal-physical parameters of a new nuclear facility have been carried out by a specially developed computer code. The comparison of the obtained results with the similar parameters of TRIGA reactors has confirmed their validity. The calculations show that the main limiting factor of the power of nuclear facility, i.e. the dependence of the temperature of the wall of fuel element on the volume fraction of water in the core has the minimum value in the interval of 50-70%. © 2004 Bull.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STRUCTURE OF THE REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS AND THE LIFE CYCLE IN THE FAMILY GENTIANACEAE

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy G. Nakhutsrishvili, March 2, 2004

ABSTRACT. Gentiana angulosa, G. cruciata, G. pontica, G. pyrenaica, G. septemfida and Gentianopsis blepharophora have anatropous ovules, reduced antipodals and prolonged seed maturation period (30-40 days). Gentianella caucasea, G. germanica (with hemitropous ovules) and Swertia iberica (with ana-campilotropous ovule) are characterized by proliferated antipodals and rapid seed development (less than 25 days). Proliferated antipodals accelerate embryogenesis by substituting for the function of the endosperm in the early stages and promote rapid seed development. The structural differences of ovule and embryo sac may determine duration of the life cycle, which may stipulate for development of a specific adaptation to the severe environmental conditions due to the shortening of a life cycle and origin of annual ephemers well adapted to the cold and arid climate of alpine environment. © 2004 Bull.

INFLUENCE OF ACIDIC PRECIPITATIONS ON NITRATE REDUCTASE ACTIVITY IN LEAVES OF HORSE BEAN AND MAIZE

Presented by Member of the Academy N. Nutsubidze, February 10, 2004

ABSTRACT. The effect of artificial acidic precipitations on nitrate reductase activity in leaves of horse bean (Vicia faba L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) has been investigated. Experimental plants were sprayed with pH2.5 solution of sulfuric acid or seeds of these plants were soaked in pH3.5 and pH5.0 solutions of sulfuric acid before sowing for 24h. It was revealed that in bean plant sulfuric acid declined the activity of nitrate reductase in both experimental variants. In maize on the contrary, acid spraying stimulated activity of the enzyme. The received results has once again corroborated that there are different adaptive mechanisms to the given stress factor in plants. © 2004 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

Acquisition Peculiarities in Complex Systems of Conditioned Reflexes During Their Consecutive and Simultaneous Elaboration

Presented December 9, 2003

ABSTRACT. With the aid of conditioned alimentary reflex method peculiarities of integration of the three systems of conditioned reflexes have been studied in the dogs in conditions of their sequential and simultaneous elaboration.

It has been determined that sequential elaboration of conditioned reflexes occurs on the background of emotional strain development. It has been shown that increase of motor activity, emotional strain and prolongation of return time to starting platform, all reflect the self-regulatory activity of the brain, which prevents the development of higher nervous activity pathology. During simultaneous elaboration of conditioned reflex systems an experimental neurosis does develop in the animals. Possible mechanisms of the results obtained are discussed. © 2004 Bull. Georg.

MELTING THERMODYNAMICS OF THE CONDENSED DNA

Presented by Member of the Academy M. Zaalishvili, October 7, 2003

ABSTRACT. We report the results of the measurements of thermodynamic parameters (temperature, enthalpy, entropy, heat capacity increment) of DNA melting in the diluted solution in the presence of cobalt(III)hexammine at different concentrations (including the critical cobalt(III)hexammine concentration when condensation must be occurred) obtained using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and CD-

spectroscopy. The heat capacity measurements were performed when k=[Co(NH3)63+]/[P] ratio was equal to 0; 0.2; 0.3; 0.35 . The data presented suggest that collapse of DNA molecules from solution into well defined toroidal particles is accompanied by sharp increase of ordering between double helixes in the toroidal DNA condensates. Because the DNA in the toroidal condensates preserves the B-form, we suggest that formation of the liquid-crystalline structures of this type also involve the ordering of water in the cobalt(III)hexammine-H2O and DNA-H2O interfaces. © 2004 Bull.

High molecular weight forms of phenol-oxidase of Kolchida tea leaves (MW 250,000, 118,000 and 58,000) catalyze the oxidation of catechins, mainly (-) epigallocatecin and (-) epigallocatechin gallate. Theaflavins and thearubugins produced at this time regulate phenol oxidase activity. These products at high concentration completely inhibit activity of phenol oxidase. Phenol oxidases of low molecular weights (MW 28,000 and 41,000) from tea leaves catalyze hydroxylation of monophenols, namely, p-coumaric acid, producing o-diphenols. © 2004 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

Presented by Member of the Academy T.Chanishvili, May 31, 2004

ABSTRACT. The aim of the study was implementation of serological express-method and indication of the anthrax infectious agent and determination of the toxin in the pathological material. With an aid of passive agglutination reaction the blood serum of 22 subjects suspected for anthrax has been investigated. Anthrax was determined in 20 cases. Bacteriological study of the same samples identified B.anthracis in one case only. Examination with passive hemagglutination reaction of the soil samples from the foci of eastern and western Georgia, considered as anthrax-insecure ones, revealed presence of B.anthracis in 8 samples. This finding was verified bacteriologically as well. Thus, reaction of passive hemagglutination is sensitive, specific, and reliable method for anthrax immunodiagnostics. © 2004 Bull. Georg. Acad.

Seasonal Dynamics of Protein content in the Black Sea Gastropoda Mollusk Rapana thomasiana Grosse

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy I. Eliava, February 17, 2004

ABSRACT. Rapana is a representative of the Gastropoda class, which has reached the Black sea from the Japanese sea. Like other mollusks, its meat, kidney and other parts of the organism are very rich in the biologically active substances.

We have studied not only the seasonal dynamics of the protein contet in Rapana, but also the dependence of protein quantity on the physiological and biological state of the mollusk, i.e. the dependence of linear growth on gametogenesis. Two peaks of protein synthesis have been recorded _ in spring and winter. In summer, especially in August, when Rapana reproduction is very intensive, the quantity of proteins decreases. © 2004 Bull.

MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF THE ADRENAL GLAND CORTEX DURING CARDIOGENIC SHOCK AND HYPOBARIC HYPOXIA IN EXPERIMENTS

Presented by Member of the Academy N. Javakhishvili, November 18, 2003

ABSTRACT. Morphological peculiarities in adrenal gland cortex during cardiogenic shock and hypobaric hypoxia have been studied. The experiments were carried out on 27 mongrel dogs (with initial body masses of 12-15kg) and 20 rabbits (with initial body masses of 2-3kg). Adrenal glands were dissected from each animal after 1-3 (group 1) and 24-48 (group 2) hours following the cardiogenic shock.

On the basis of the data observed in the histological and electron-microscopic studies it is possible to speak not only of changes in the microcirculatory bed and in adrenal glands parenchyma that are typical for shock and hypobaric hypoxia, but also of the distinctive changes in "shock-organ" that may be considered as endocrine glands response to the specific pathological activity. © 2004 Bull.

THE AFGHAN CONFLICT AND PROBLEM OF JIHAD in Central EURASIA

Presented by Member of the Academy G. Tevzadze, January 27, 2004

ABSTRACT. The tragic events of September 11 (2001) have shed light on the previously overlooked phenomenon of trans-national jihadism in Central Eurasia. In the process, Western intelligence agencies have begun to link a disparate variety of pre-existing jihad battlefields in this ethnically diverse region to the new US-led war on fundamentalist terrorism. A background assessment of the Afghan conflict presents unique insights into the ways in which pre-existing conflicts between Arab-sponsored fundamentalists, local Sufi-mystics and various Eurasian ethnic groups have been subsumed in the US-led global struggle against jihad-militants. © 2004 Bull.
