Relations Between Relativistic and Non Relativistic Equations Eigenvalues by Using Comparison Theorem

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy A. Khelashvili, February, 23, 1998

Abstract. In the paper quasipotential model relativistic equation is compared with Schrödinger equation using comparison theorem. We received theorems, which show that for potentials having only negative relativistic levels, level’s spacing (splitting) increase in the relativistic case compared with Schrödinger equation. For the potentials, which have only positive relativistic levels, level’s spacing (splitting) decrease in the relativistic case is expected.

The 11-year Variation of the Solar Radiation in 130-175 nm Spectral Region on the Basis of 630 nm Emission Observation in Twilight

Presented by Member of the Academy E. Kharadze, February 2, 1998

Abstract. Regular observations in the thermosphere emission 630 nm of the atomic oxygen in twilight in 1962-1992 at the Abastumani Observatory (410.48N,420.48E) enabled to determine the 11-years variation cycle with the average max/min ratio of 2.85. From the observed emission photodissociation mechanism the hard UV emission variation in the 130-175 nm spectral region is estimated. Mean annual data on the 630 nm emission are compared with the characteristic values of the solar radioemission and other indices of activity. It is discovered that on the growing phase of the solar 11-year cycle the radioemission increase exceeds that of 630 nm radiation, while at the fall phase the UV prevails. All these may perhaps denote on the different heights of the formation of UV and radioemission in the solar atmosphere. The numerical relation between absolute intensity of 630 nm emission

Some Electrophilic Substitution Reactions of 1H-Pyrrolo-[3,2-b]- and 3H-Pyrrolo-[2,3-c]-phenoxathiines

Presented by Member of the Academy K. Japaridze, February 17, 1998

Abstract. The reactivity of 1H-pyrrolo-[3,2-b]- and 3H-pyrrolo-[2,3-c]-phenoxathiines characteristic of indole electrophilic substitution reactions (Mannich reaction, acylation, azocoupling) was investigated. It is shown that in case of Mannich and azocoupling reactions electrophilic substitution occurs according to the b-position of pyrrolic nucleus of pyrrollo-phenoxathiines. However, the reaction of acetylation by acetic anhydride leads to an N-acetylderivative.The structure of all the synthesized substances was verified by UV, IR and PMR spectral methods.

Investigation of river water fulvic acid by HPLC

Presented by corr. member of the Academy D.Ugrekhelidze, April 27, 1998

Abstract. The ion-pair reversed phase HPLC has been used for the investigation of fulvic acid isolated from river water. The influence of mobile phase pH on the chromatographic separation of fulvic acid ingredients has been established. The existence of equilibrium between separated components of fulvic acid sample was also elucidated by means of their preparative collection and reinjection. It was supposed, that the separated ingredients represent the aggregates of different mass which probably are their existence form in aqueous solutions. The variation of system pH presumably results in the redistribution of molecular masses of these aggregates.

Formation of Titanium Based Composites through Electric Field Activated Combustion

Presented September 21, 1998

Abstract. The synthesis of TiB2-TiAl3 composites with TiB2/TiAl3 = x molar ratios from x = 1.0 to x = 5.0 were investigated by electric field-activated combustion using elemental powders as reactants. Using amorphous boron powders, composites with x £ 2 .0 can be synthesized in the absence of a field. Those with 3.0 £ x £ 5.0 can only be formed in the presence of a field. For all cases, the product contained the desired phases with minor amounts of Ti5Al11. Higher values of x, resulted in relatively higher amounts of this phase. The effect of the use of crystalline boron and the influence of its particle size were also investigated. In the absence of a field, no self-sustaining combustion wave could be initiated even when the smallest particles
(<20
mm) were used. Under the influence of 18Vcm-1 field, combustion waves were initiated and the products were virtually identical to those obtained with the amorphous boron powders.

The Effect of Ionic Force and Temperature on Troponin I
Molecule

Presented February 10, 1998

Abstract. The effect of ionic force and temperature on troponin I molecule has been studied using an intrinsic fluorescence method. It has been shown that in the buffer of 20mM tris-acetate 0.2M KCl, pH 8.8 a complete renaturation of troponin I molecule does not occur. An increase in KCl molarity from 0.2M to 1M has no considerable effect on the conformational state of troponin I molecule. Within 10-6-10-5M concentration ranges of the protein that corresponds to 0.0025-0.1mg/ml area, fluorescence intensity and spectrum position at lexc=296nm are strong concentration dependent.

Characteristics of Lipid Metabolism in Menopausal Women

Presented July 6, 1998

Abstract. We have studied lipid metabolism characteristics (total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol) in pre- and postmenopausal women. The results of the investigation have shown that dyslipidemia begins in the premenopausal period and becomes deeper during menopause which is a great risk for the development of coronary heart disease. Hence, it is more advisable to begin preventive activities during menopause before the process becomes deeper and irreversible.
