On Solving the Dirichlet Generalized Boundary Problem for a Harmonic Function by the Method of Probabilistic Solution
Presented by Member of the Academy N. Vakhania, October 21, 2005
ABSTRACT. Two ways of probabilistic solution of the Dirichlet generalized boundary problem for harmonic functions are considered: a) Direct application of the probabilistic method; b) Reduction of generalized problem to the ordinary problem and solution of the latter by the probabilistic method. Investigation showed the reliability of results of both methods, which in turn indicates the superiority of direct application. The simplicity and the possibility of direct application of this method also indicate the superiority against the other well-known methods. © 2006 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

Laser Raman Spectroscopy of B- and Ar-implanted GaAs
Presented by Member of the Academy T. Sanadze, July 26, 2005
Abstract. When implanting GaAs with boron and heavier argon ions, severe distortion of crystal structure occurs. Raman scattering has shown that with implanted ions’ dose change crystal structure gradually transforms into disordered state, in which coexistence of crystalline, microcrystalline and amorphous phases is possible. At the certain stage of implantation formation of continuous amorphous layer of GaAs takes place. The critical doses of amorphization of GaAs at implantation with B and Ar ions have been defined. The graph of dependence of LO phonon’s halfwidths upon implantation doses is also a characteristic of amorphization. We suggest a possible mechanism for structural transition dynamics in GaAs caused by ion implantation. © 2006 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

ABSTRACT. The generation of generalized vorticity and quasi-static magnetic field by short relativistically strong laser pulse propagating in dissipative under-dense cold unmagnetized plasma is considered. It is demonstrated that due to dissipation the generated quasi-static axial current becomes the source for azimuthal quasi-static magnetic (QSM) field leading to the helical structure of magnetic field (exists even in weakly relativistic case). The latter is not sensitive to the scale of plasma inhomogeneity. © 2006 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

Strength Loss of Irradiated Boron Carbide
Presented by Member of the Academy N. Tsintsadze, December 6, 2005
Abstract. During the irradiation of boron carbide samples in the temperature range 300-900 K and during their testing at 300 K relative decrease of their microhardness was observed. Strength loss in the crystals was caused by decrease of the brittle failure limit due to the accumulation of the radiation defects, mainly of the interstitial type. Helium ion provides higher strength loss than Lithium and Boron ions do, their ability to change the target composition, and thus low damage rates being similar. © 2006 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

The Corona Electropolarimetry during the August 11, 1999 Solar Eclipse
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy R. Kiladze, December 28, 2005
ABSTRACT. The results of the white-light polarization measurements performed during the total solar eclipse of the August 11, 1999 are presented. An electropolarimeter of original design controlled by PC was used. In each 7 concentric rings up to 2.58 solar radii measurements of the total radiation of the solar corona at 90 positions were made. Subsequent calculations of the polarization degree P and the direction of plane of polarization ö were fulfilled. All measurements are given in units of the Sun’s average surface brightness. Then the measurements were corrected for the instrumental scattering and polarization, as well as for the sky background. A well-known technique for separation of the F- and K- coronae was used. For most features of the K-corona the degree of polarization ranging between 15-45% is rather typical. The polarization plane is radial everywhere except for a small deviation that does not exceed ± 1º. Assuming hydrostatic and isothermal corona, the electron temperature and density were derived from the radial profiles of the surface brightness of the K-corona. The empirical formula of the density variation is given. Our data were compared with previous measurements. © 2006 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

On the Physiological Role of Galactose- Specific Lectins from Mistletoe (Viscum album L.)
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy N. Aleksidze, July 26, 2005
Abstract. Distribution of lectins in mistletoe (Viscum album L.) organs in different periods of plant life cycle has been studied. It is shown that lectin content is relatively enhanced in growing parts of mistletoe (young leaves, flower buds, fruits). The seasonal changes in the content of galactose-specific lectins in mistletoe is also revealed: in all parts of the plant it rises during the period from the spring to winter. It has been established that during the shoot development the lectin content in mature one-year-old leaves gradually decreases, but in young leaves it increases about 30-times and reaches the maximum in winter. It is considered that mistletoe galactose-specific lectins may involve in regulation of osmotic properties of “water parasite” plant tissues by means of its specific interaction with endogenic soluble complex polysaccharides and participate in the mechanism of water attraction and maintenance. © 2006 Bull.

Double Proton Transfer in DNA: the Role of Ions, Ethanol, Polyethyleneglycol, Protamines and Histones
Presented by Member of the Academy M. Zaalishvili, December 27, 2005
Abstract. The effect of H+, transition metals and macroscopic change of its surrounding on DNA were studied with spectroscopic methods using a new methodological approach. Significant decrease of donor – acceptor characteristics of DNA causing double proton transfer (DPT) that takes place as a response of DNA double helix to the reduction of activity of hydrated water was found. Reduction of water activity surrounding DNA double helix stimulates keto-enol and amino – imine tautomerization of GC base pairs. Often this leads to intra-family B®C transition, which, depending on DNA type and the method of reduction of the activity, is completed by conformational transitions in A and Z forms or Y- conformation. © 2006 Bull.

ABSTRACT. In every obtained membrane fraction of cardiomyocytes Ca2+: Ca2+ ATPase-binding proteins, calsequestin and actin were present.
In every membrane fractions of cardiomyocyte, obtained by the one-stage soft method, Ca 2+ binding proteins - Ca2+ ATPase, calsequestin and actin were present.
Meanwhile, in the most light membrane fraction, presented mainly by sarcolemma and T-tubules, actin was found to be the protein, which binds the most of calcium. In other, heavier, fractions enriched by triads and their fragments, the main part of 45Ca2+ radioactivity was associated with 92 kD proteins, corresponding to the Ca2+ ATPases, although the minor proteins of 66 kD (caldesmon) and 31 kD (ouabain receptor) had almost one order higher specific 45Ca2+ radioactivity. In the same three heavy membrane fractions the calciphobic (calcium-repellent) polypeptides of 40, 26 and 13 kD molecular weight were found, which presumably are trimer, dimer and monomer, respectively, of the fatty acid - binding protein. © 2006 Bull.

Influence of Environmental Factors on Intestibacteriophages
Presented by Member of the Academy T. Chanishvili, December 20, 2005
ABSTRACT. Manifestation of curative-prophylactic features of a bacteriophage greatly depends on the composition of a medium - concentration of hydrogen ions, proteolytic enzymes and the presence of antibiotics.
The present invetigation was aimed at establishing the influence of the above mentioned factors on Staphilococcus phages, Coli-phages and Salmonella-phages.
Our investigations have proved that optimum effect of phages was obtained within the range of pH 6.0-7.0. Acid or alkaline medium negatively affected morphology of negative colonies - small patches, different from the typical ones were obtained.
Pepsin had insignificant influence on phages. After incubation with pepsin for 6 hours quantity of inactivated phages was 9.0-9.3% and after 18 hours of incubation it made 4.6-11.7%. The antibiotic Enrofloxacin commonly used in poultry farming had practically no effect on phage viability. This gives the possibility of using their combination for curative purposes. © 2006 Bull.

Influence of Nebivalole and Carvedilole on Rheologic Properties of Experimental Rabbits’ Blood, Aggregation-Adhesion of Thrombocytes and Osmotic Resistance-Hemolysis Degree of Erythrocytes against a Background of Electrical Stress
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy T. Dekanosidze, July 12, 2005
ABSTRACT. The present article deals with one of the most important issues of modern cardiology - the effect of b-adrenoblockers of the 3rd generation Carvedilole and Nebivalole on rheologic properties of blood, aggregation-adhesion of thrombocytes and degree of osmotic resistance-hemolysis of erythrocytes in experimental rabbits against a background of electrical stress.
Carvedilole and Nebivalole have been shown to reduce aggregation-adhesion of thrombocytes caused by stress. They also reduced the activity of different parameters of coagulation system of an organism, caused the increase of the degree of osmotic resistance and decrease of hemolysis degree of erythrocytes. Antiaggregation effect was more pronounced at the application of Nebivalole, while anticoagulation effect was more evident in case of Carvedilole.
Thus besides the antihypertension, antiarrythmic, antiischemic and antiproliferative properties Carvedilole and Nebivalole are characterized by positive action on rheologic properties of blood and aggregation-adhesion of thrombocytes. This conditions special efficiency of these preparations in pharmacotherapy of diseases of cardiovascular system. © 2006 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

Effect of Cholestasis on the Transcription Activity of Kidney Epitheliocytes’ Nuclei after Unilateral Nephrectomy
Presented by Member of the Academy G. Ioseliani, October 4, 2005
ABSTRACT. Effect of cholestasis on gene expression in kidney epithelocytes after unilateral nephrectomy has been studied in white rats. It is shown that after 6 hours from the ligation of common bile duct and unilateral nephrectomy RNA synthesis is stimulated in the nuclei of nephrocytes. The increase of transcription activity in nephrocytes after the mentioned interval of time points to the growth of functional load on kidney and switching of compensatory reserve mechanism in nephrocytes due to cholestasis. Transcription activity of nuclei does not change in kidney epitheliocytes stimulated to proliferation against the background of 4-day cholestasis (unilateral nephrectomy). It can be supposed on the basis of obtained results that compensatory activation of nephrocytes does not take place in conditions of long-term jaundice. © 2006 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

Functional Perspective of Text and Distribution of its Components
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy E. Khintibidze, November 21, 2005
Abstract. An attempt to link theme and reme boundaries with oral, spontaneously produced text intonation unit, i.e. with pausal group, has been done. Complex of criteria was used to determine the following components of functional perspective of the text: text theme, theme, theme commentary, modal transmission, reme and focus commentaries, reme and focus. Each component of functional perspective has its own semantic mission in the text. Their “mobile” and “fixed” positions in the text, the ability to create their own pausal groups and prosodic marking depend on significance and topicality of the information they express. The components of text functional perspective together with intonation are each other’s actualizators, by which the interconnection of their lexical and prosodic meanings occur both within the sentence and text boundaries. It has been established that there is close connection between semantic and emphatic units. © 2006 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.
