Non-Local Boundary Value Problems for Some Partial
Differential Equations

Presented by Academician T. Burchuladze, November 3, 1997

ABSTRACT. The results of investigation of non-local boundary value problems for some type of elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic equations are presented. The non-local boundary value problems considered in this article comprise boundary conditions of the type of Bitsadze-Samarskii conditions or some versions of their generalization. In the case of rather wide class of elliptic and parabolic equations suggested iteration method allows not only to prove the existence and uniqueness of solution of the non-local problem, but also to construct an algorithm for numerical resolution. For some particular forms of hyperbolic equations a method of direct construction of solutions is given. The uniqueness for rather general type hyperbolic equations is proved using the properties of the solution on characteristics.

Investigation of Some Physico-Chemical Properties of High-Manganese Boron Oxide Glassy Semiconductors

Presented August 4, 1997

Abstract. The intermediate reactions in the melt of glass during synthesis of high-manganese boron oxide glassy semiconductors (OGS) have been investigated. These reactions make possible to establish the technological cycle for melting of the glass with predetermined electrophysical parameters. We have shown that the stability of electrophysical parameters of OGS with composition of 2CaO×3B2O3×2MnO×2MnO2 depends on the coordinational environment of cations (B3+, Mn2+, Mn4+, Ca2+). On the basis of such glasses the switching electronic elements having stable threshold voltage can be produced.

Electrophysiological investigation of the Descending Connections of the Posterior and Anterior Sylvian gyri with the Amygdaloid Complex

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy V. Mosidze, July 17, 1997

Abstract. Studies have been made on the distribution of the evoked potentials in amygdala during stimulation of the posterior and anterior sylvian gyri in acute experiments on cats under nembutal anesthesia. Potentials with the largest amplitude arise in basolateral part of the amygdaloid complex and central nucleus. Evoked potentials in cortical and medial nuclei sharply differ from those, registered in basolateral amygdala. Responses with the shortest latency (4.6-10ms) were registered in dorsal part of lateral nucleus. This fact is accounted for by the existence of direct corticofugal pathways.

Some of the Physico-Chemical Properties of Proteins Extracted from the Kidney by 0.5M KCl Solution

Presented July 24, 1997

ABSTRACT. "pH 5.5 fraction" of proteins extracted from the rabbit kidney by 0.5M KCl solution has been studied by using superprecipitation, enzyme and viscometry methods. The fraction has not proved properties typical of myosin and actomyosin either in the presence or in the absence of skeletal muscle F-actin. The facts would be caused by the absence of calmodulin dependent light chain kinase in the fraction. The kinase is necessary for activation of thymus, platelet and some kinds of vertabrate smooth muscle myosin.

The Treatment of the Postextraction Syndrome with Taurolin®

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy T. Dekanosidze, September 1, 1997

Abstract. In a controlled clinical study with a total of 200 patients the broad spectrum agent and antitoxin taurolidine (Taurolin®) was clearly superior to conventional medication with the broad spectrum antibiotic chlortetracycline (Aureomycin) when applied topically to treat the postextraction syndrome (PS). Compared with the conventionally treated patient group, the clinical control parameters such as pain, swelling, secretion, tenderness to pressure and remission (secondary target criteria) in the Taurolin® group exhibited not only a markedly more rapid normalization of the score-data during the initial phase, but also an appreciably shorter interval until the patients were symptom-free. Age, gender, localization of the lesion or facultative systemic antibiotic or analgetic administration had no demonstrable effect in the course of the treatment, although the patients in the reference group required concomitant medication with antibiotics (p=0.007) and analgetics (p=0.01) considerably more often than those in the Taurolin group.
