Multiplicities of Roots of Quaternionic Polynomials

Presented by Member of the Academy N. Berikashvili, June 20, 2006

ABSTRACT. The topological structure of the zero-sets of quaternion polynomials is discussed. As was earlier proved by the author, such a zero-set consists of several points and two-dimensional spheres with the centers on the real line. In the present paper we show that one can define multiplicities of components of each type in such way that their sum is equal to the algebraic degree of the polynomial considered. The effective method of finding a number of both type components is suggested. © 2006 Bull. Georg. Natl. Acad. Sci.

Approximate Solution of some Linear Boundary Value Problems by Approach Alternative to Asymptotic Method

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy R. Bantsuri, May 30, 2006

ABSTRACT. Problems of approximate solution of some linear nonhomogeneous operator equation is studied with an approach alternative to asymptotic method. Our alternative method is based on representation of unknown vector over the small parameter with orthogonal series instead of asymptotic one. In such a case system of three-point operator equations of special structure is received. For system solving a certain regular method is used. On the basis of the suggested method the programming production is created and realized by means of computer. © 2006 Bull. Georg. Natl. Acad. Sci.

Angular Dependence of Relaxation Times and Line Shape of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance in La_0.95Sr_0.05MnO₃

Presented by Member of the Academy T.Sanadze, July 4, 2006

Abstract. For La_1-xMe_xMnO₃ samples (where Me=Sr, Ca, Ba,... , and x is the Me concentration), containing localized spins with the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction, above the Neel temperature, expressions for transverse (T^x, T^y) and longitudinal (T^z) relaxation times determining the line shape and line width of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of localized spins are given.

The results of the performed analytical investigation of the angular dependence of transverse and longitudinal relaxation rates can foster new experiments and become very useful for solution of problems of applied character. The expressions for EPR line width obtained in the work are in complete agreement with the data of previous theoretical and experimental investigations. © 2006 Bull. Georg. Natl. Acad. Sci.

Solar Activity and Cosmogeneous Isotopes During Last 350 Years

Presented by Member of the Academy J.Lominadze, July 11, 2006

ABSTRACT. In the article a question of connections between solar activity and cosmogeneous isotope concentration existing several hundred years is studied. For this aim the results of annual radiocarbon measurements obtained at Tbilisi State University, at Washington University and also data of ¹⁰Be and sunspot numbers measurements were used. It is shown sunspot numbers can be well described with a modulation function A_m(t)cos²(2pt/T(t)+F_m(t)). It is also shown that dependence between long-term periodicities of cosmogeneous nuclide formation rate and sunspot numbers was linear. Strong influence of local various factors on short-term variations of isotopes is established with spectral analysis. Supposition that the ~20 year periodicity in radiocarbon data found during Maunder minimum is not caused by solar modulatory effect, is suggested.

Study of Coda Q_C According to Broad Band Seismic Data

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy T. Chelidze, May, 8, 2006

ABSTRACT. The coda wave attenuation quality factor Q_C at the Javakheti plateau and at the area located at the north of Tbilisi from 11 local earthquakes recorded by broad band seismograph have been estimated. The Q_C was estimated using the single-scattering attenuation model in the frequency range from 0.62 to 40 Hz. The analyzed events were recorded at epicentral distances up to 80 km and their magnitudes vary from 2.5 to 4.3. In the north of Tbilisi we found that Q_C = (110 ± 15)f^0.6 in the indicated frequency range and Q_C = (100 ± 15) f^0.4 for the Javakheti Plateau in the frequency range from 40 to 10 Hz. © 2006 Bull.

Technology of Materials on the Basis of Isotope as the Method for Creation of the new Generation Materials

Presented by Member of the Academy G. Gvelesiani, July 18, 2006

Abstract. Present work demonstrates strong relationship between the microhardness (Hm) of boron carbide with isotopic composition and general composition of boron. It has been discovered that by increasing the concentration of Boron-11 (c>99.8%), Hm reaches 8000 kg/mm², which corresponds to Hm of diamond. Increase of density of B-10 isotope and general composition of boron results in decrease of Hm. Model has been developed to explain observed experimental results. Opportunity is created to broaden the application of boron carbide. New technological trend is created to obtain materials with the parameters that are impossible to obtain using classical technologies and that can possess natural isotopic composition. This represents a considerable fact taking into consideration problems of obtaining materials with the resource capacities in extreme conditions, which is essential for developing of high technologies. © 2006 Bull.

Some Peculiarities of Color Naming and Color Visual Searching in Georgian-Speaking Population

Presented by Member of the Academy T. Oniani, June 23, 2006

ABSTRACT. When verbally sequencing colors, Georgian-speaking individuals name approximately forty colors, starting with the basic colors. When viewing a collage composed of familiar colors, four-year-old children initially name the basic colors, in most cases starting with red, without giving preference to any specific strategy. However, school-aged children and adults name colors in a sequence that coincides with eye movement during the color viewing process; specifically, from left to right and from top to bottom. This fact indicates that the color searching strategy of a visual scene is determined by eye movement direction, which is developed as a result of reading and writing abilities and habits. This does not permit an individual to use any other strategy or to give priority to any color. © 2006 Bull. Georg. Natl. Acad. Sci.

Study of the Hypoglycemic Effect of CS-Gal Lectin with the Presence of Monensine and Cytochalasin B

Presented July 25, 2006

Abstract. The hypoglycemic effect of Galactose-specific lectin (CS-Gal) from coriander (Coriandrum sativum, Umbelliferae, Apiaceae, herbal vegetable plant) in human peripheral blood erythrocytes and bovine liver cells has been studied in the conditions of intracellular alkalization (ionophore monensine) and with the presence of the inhibitor of glucose transporter GLUT1 – cytochalasin B. Inhibition of the lectin hypoglycemic effect has been revealed with the presence of monensine and cytochalasin B in erythrocytes but not in the liver cells. It has been supposed that hypoglycemic effect of CS-Gal lectin is not implemented via the phosphatidylinositol signaling system in erythrocytes.

Music as Means of Humanization of Education

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy G. Tumanishvili, June 10, 2006

Abstract. Modern trend of thorough music study in comprehensive schools is considered. The unique role, which music can play from the point of view of humanization of education, is stated. It is noted that absolutization of brain left hemisphere orientiated training, one of the main disadvantages of the traditional pedagogics, results in violation of human rights of right hemisphere orientiated pupils, causes their poor academic progress and school neuroses. Some major facts of neurobiology of music, obtained by modern methods of neurovisaualization are pointed. Based on the analysis of these data, it is concluded, that serious, thorough study of music stimulates harmonic interaction of both hemispheres of brain, providing a unique opportunity of development and integration of cognitive and emotional spheres of pupils. Thus, thorough study of music assits to conduct educational process in a way, that takes proper account of integrity of human nature. The importance of this fact from the point of view of humanization of education system is emphasized. © 2006 Bull. Georg. Natl. Acad. Sci.
