Nonabelian Tensor Products of Precrossed Modules

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy H.Inassaridze, February 17,1997

ABSTRACT. Some properties of the nonabelian tensor product of groups are established. The theorem of Brown and Loday about relationship of Whitehead’s gamma functor with the nonabelian tensor product and the exterior product of groups is generalized for precrossed modules. Long exact sequences of their left derived functors make this relationship precise. Similar results are obtained for Guin’s tensor product of precrossed modules. Guin’s homology is constructed with coefficients in precrossed modules using the nonabelian left derived function of Guin’s tensor product.

The Variations of 14C Abundance in Tree Rings in View of Isotopic Fractionation Effect During 1590-1615, 1690-1710, 1780-1820 years

Presented by Corr.-Member of the Academy T.Sanadze , February 27, 1997

ABSTRACT. The measurements of the 13C/12C ratio have been performed on the samples of the dendrologically dated tree rings in the following periods of time: 1590-1615, 1690-1710, 1780-1820. Taking the obtained results into account the correction of the isotopic fractiousness has been made in the same interval of time on the basis of radiocarbon concentration measurements. The analysis proves that the common character of the 14C alterations during the time is not changed. Only small alterations of 14C variations amplitude have been noticed.

The Investigation of Magnetic Properties of the Bi-containing Superconducting Ceramics

Presented by Corr.-Member of the Academy T.Sanadze, April 29, 1997

ABSTRACT. In this article the magnetic properties of the Bi-containing HTSC-ceramics are investigated. The hysteresis curves taken near the transition temperature are qualitatively different from those, taken at lower temperatures and disintegrate into two separate loops, so that M(0)=0. This difference is explained by simultaneous effect of three factors: by transition of weak links into the normal state, by flux creep at the temperature higher than reversibility limit and by non-equilibrium state of flux lines below the first critical field.

Anisotropy and Polarity of Hardness and Photomechanical Effect in Silicon Carbide

Presented by Corr.-Member of the Academy T.Sanadze, June 11, 1997

ABSTRACT. Microhardness, anisotropy and polarity of SiC of the hexagonal modification, alloyed with nitrogen, with the concentration ND _ NA= 3.1018cm-3, have been studied in the dark and illumination. Anisotropy of microhardness has been conditioned by various deformations of chemical bonds, while the change of the position of an indentor and the change of microhardness and its anisotropy due to irrespective of the spectral composition of the acting radiation illumination correlates with the concentration of non-balanced carriers of the excited charge.

Presented February 27, 1997

Abstract. This work represents the data of reactor radiation influence on the thermoelectric parameters of the strongdoped halfconductivity alloy Si0.7-Ge0.3 of n- and p-type, which are doped by phosphorus and boron.

It is shown that as the results of neutron irradiation (fluence 1019 cm-2, Trad=200°C), radiation defects of disordered region type are sprung up, that causes the decrease of concentration and mobility of current bearers. Restoration of these parameters occurs in the alloy of n-type at ~600°C, and p-type at ~1000°C, which is connected with the supplementary radiation defect appearing caused by the running nuclear reaction 10B(n,a)7Li. The work recommends the methods of rising p-type Si-Ge alloy radiation resistance by its izotope doping 11B.

ABSTRACT. In 1992_1994 aeropalynological spectra of Tbilisi atmosphere were investigated in some of its districts to determine the concentration of pollen grains of the plants causing pollinosis. Pollen grains were collected by means of special traps of glass plates. The traps were disposed in four districts: Vake, Nadzaladevi, Mtatsminda and Avlabari. The samples were analysed by acetolyzis method. The influence of meteorological factors on the formation of aeropallynological spectra was systematically studied. Autumn pollinosis in Tbilisi was shown due to the high concentration of pollen grains of local plant species having finished blossoming by that time.

Presented by Corr.-Member of the Academy G.Nakhutsrishvili, December 30,1996

ABSTRACT. Biological peculiarities and seedforming processes in unstudied Caucasian endemic-Helleborus caucasicus A.Br. were investigated. Its generative organs development and pollination-fertilization processes are proceeding at a low temperature. But they are fulfilled mainly normally. Self-pollination for plant is easier to realize under unfavourable conditions. Cross-pollination occurs rarely.

Almost in all 10-11 ovules simultaneous development and differentiated embryo-sacs are observed. This indicates good potential seed production ability of this plant.

The Emotional Influence on Human Visual Recognition: Psychophysiological Aspects

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy V.Mosidze, April 14, 1997

ABSTRACT. To investigate the number of correct responses (NCR), the reaction time (RT) and the event-related potentials (ERPs), the effects of positive and negative verbal reinforcement on the visuo-spatial recognition of geometric figures in condition of backward masking were studied in healthy subjects and patients with chronic alcoholism. It has been found that in performance of mentally constructing geometric figures unlike the control group in alcoholics the NCR was greater and the RT was lesser in tests after positive reinforcement than after negative reinforcement. Negative verbal reinforcement in healthy subjects produced reductions in the latency and increases in the amplitude of N200-P300 potentials, particularly in the right parietal lobe and the vertex. These changes were not observed in patients. The patients’ lesser ability to perform visuo-spatial tasks could be explained by the general reduction in ERPs and the disappearance of interhemisphere functional asymmetry.

The Physical Nature of Phase Transition in the Aqueous Solutions of "Molten Globule"

Presented by Academician M.Zaalishvili, March 4, 1997

ABSTRACT. We suggest that thermal unfolding of the molten globule state of horse cytochrome C is a cooperative process with a small, but distinct and positive DCp=0.2±0.02J/gK. Results suggest that transition "molten globule-unfolded state" for cytochrome is like phase transition of the first order. However, by certain attribute this transition is close by the second-order phase transition, for example, the heat of transition is small DH=173 KJM-1.

Construction of the Nucleolar Dynamic 3D Model Using Graphic and Animation Computer Programs. I. Spatial Structure of Fibrillar Centres, Vacuolar Network and Nucleolus Associated Chromatin in Guinea Pig Somatic Tissues

Presented by Academician G.Tumanishvili, March 18, 1997

ABSTRACT. The reconstruction of spatial architecture of ring-shaped and intermediate nucleoli in guinea liver and kidney blood capillaries endothelium by ultrastructural computer tomography have been performed in this study. Due to the well developed intranucleolar chromatin and a sufficiently high vacuolization extent nucleoli of hepatic and kidney endotheliocytes are a suitable model to precisely described the spatial distribution of nucleolus associated chromatin and to perform a three-dimensional analysis of the connection between fibrillar centres, the vacuolar component and intranucleolar chromatin. Owing to a strongly developed vacuolar system with well identifiable clumps of condensed chromatin the structural unity of peri- and intranucleolar chromatin fibrillar centres and vacuolar network can be taken for granted. The functional sense of the connection between these structures is discussed.

The Ritual of Blood Sacrifice and the Late Antique World

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy R.Gordesiani, July 2, 1997

ABSTRACT. Christian ideology put forth the argument against blood sacrifice; the Crusification of Christ is the last and greatest sacrifice. There is no longer need for daily pagan sacrifices. However, when faced with the tradition of blood sacrifice Christianity was somewhat powerless. This is shown by the continuing existence of this tradition in a number of Christian countries up today. Probably we must search the reason for this not only in strong roots left by pagan religion but also in human psyche.

ABSTRACT. The Kvirikians family represented the collateral branch of Armenian Bagratuni. The name of the family comes from the Anis King Ashot III’s younger son Gurgen’s name, who was also called Kvirike. In Georgian and Armenian sources the names and titles of the family show their real political situation. The Georgian source calls them "King of Somekh", which means not the ownership of some Armenian territory, but national-religious state. The Armenian source mentions them by the name of "King of Albans", it means that Kvirikians owned the part of Albania as well.

The Cognitive System of Lexicology

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy M.Andronikashvili, January 3, 1997

ABSTRACT. In modern theoretical linguistics the question of cognitive studying of the main notions is urgent. Attempts at creating the main notions of "lexicology" are presented in the paper.

A system of the basic concepts on the theme "lexicology" contains the following elements: lexicology as a branch of linguistics studying the systems of meaning of language; lexical fund as an object of study of lexicology; lexeme as the basic unit of study of lexicology; vocable as an external form of a lexeme; lexemetheme ("lexemethema") as the internal form of a lexeme (plane of contents).
