6.A1.1. Comparative analysis of political and legal aspects of national safety of Georgia. /O. Kochoradze, N. Kacharava/. Transactions of Technical University of Georgia. - 2009. - #1(471). – pp. 123-128. – geo.; res.: geo., eng., rus.

National safety has an absolute priority compared to other problems of politics. Scientifically substantiated safety system serves for preservation and strengthening of the basic values of the country: State sovereignty, safety, territorial integrity, culture uniqueness and applies to the special governance by higher state organs. One of the main reasons of the specificity of Georgian state safety problems is its geopolitical and geoeconomical location. One of the main directions and priority of Georgian national safety problem is integration of Georgia in European and Euro Atlantic political, economic and safety systems.

6.A1.3. The obligation to return the property transferred on the ground of unjust enrichment. /T. Chitoshvili/. Caucasus International University Herald. – 2009. - #1. – pp. 122-132. – geo., res.: geo., eng., rus.

Unjust enrichment is one of the statutory obligations. Other statutory obligations are torts (delictual obligations), management of the affair of another without mandate, obligation deriving from rights in common and obligations deriving from other grounds. Unjust enrichment is the civil relation, which arises when a person saves or increases his property without any contractual or legal ground. This may be done by transferring property to another person, by using another’s property, by performing an action of another (as own obligation), etc. The rule and the scope of the obligation to return the property received from unjust enrichment is regulated by special provisions that envisage the obligation to return the property and the profits and the fruits received from it, the obligations to compensate for the damage, the grounds, when the revendication claim shall be excluded, etc.

6.A1.5. Procedural preconditions for analyzing the structure, dynamics and status of larceny. /M. Jamalov/. Caucasus International University Herald. – 2009. - #1. – pp. 133-142. – rus., res.: geo., eng., rus.

The criminological character of larceny is given in this research paper implicating the following procedural preconditions: status, structure and dynamics of larceny. The comparative measure as crime rate (1987-2002) applied in the research helped to define and correlate the certain number of urban population or population of certain regions to the number of appropriation of moveable estate.  On this basis it was possible to see the modification of not only the status of larceny, i.e. the total number of larceny, but of its structure. It is obvious that the appropriation of moveable estate should be analyzed in a context of both the external factors and the peculiarity of the criminal identity, but also considering the character of a victim. Thus, the qualitative-quantitative characteristics of larceny are defined by the following factors: a) number of committed crime and number of convicted for larceny; b) number of registered crimes; c) structural characteristics of crime; d) crime ratio; e)  latency of larceny; f) extent of damage. It is obvious that the crime rate in different regions is different, depending on the different social conditions of the population.

6.A2.1. Reasons of migration and urgent problems in Georgia. /T. Gamsakhurdia, N. Kakauridze, M. Kakauridze/. Georgian Scientific News. – 2009. - #2. – pp. 56-60. - rus.; res.: geo., eng., rus.

The work shows that the demographic situation and the state of manpower employment in Georgia influence perspectives of economic and social development of the country. Reasons of the international migration and its influence on the age and general structure of the population of donor and recipient countries are analyzed. It is concluded that international migration of manpower has a weak impact on redistribution of income in the world economy; manpower still remains to be an immobile factor of manufacture in comparison with capital, and the cumulative effect of international migration for exporting countries is much lower than in trade and in capital movement Reasons of the origin of unemployment in Georgia leading to the direct loss of income and a search for alternative sources of material support that compel most part of the able-bodied population to emigrate to find jobs are analyzed. The ways of solving the problems of unemployment in Georgia that are main causes of migration are offered.

The demographic situation in Georgia is so acute that the demographic crisis is evidently felt. All regions of our country compactly populated by the Georgian ethnos are subjected to depopulation, except Adjara where there is somewhat different situation because of a religious factor. Among the measures to normalize the demographic situation should be noted: first, the formation of demand to have the optimum number of children in a family and adequate reproductive sets and behaviour; second, practical realization of the formed demand to have a child – desirable number of children, third – the realization of effective measures against social anomalies destructing the gene pool of the population.

6.A3.1. National innovation systems of foreign countries. /M. Kopaleishvili, I. Bedinashvili/. – 2009. – 55 pp. – geo.

The work deals with the innovation process structure, main factors influencing development of the innovation process, general structure of national innovation systems; provides an analysis of national innovation systems of foreign countries. World countries are ranked according to known models on innovation development as follows: (1) “traditional” – mainly the countries of the Euro-Atlantic region (USA, UK, Germany, France, Italy, other West European countries); (2) hi-tech production export-oriented – mainly the Eastern Asian countries (Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Chinas, etc.). (3) with the alternative development model – Thailand, Turkey, Portugal, etc. Most detailed are studied the innovation systems of Finland, Israel, and the Baltic states. According to criteria of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), a questionnaire for assessing the state of innovation development in a country has been compiled.

The paper deals with the use of leasing in Georgia and regards it as a form of assistance to small enterprises. Financial leasing is considered to be a specific form of capital investment. Unlike traditional bank credit, it enables companies to have necessary basic means without synchronous expenditures. Financial leasing is beneficial enough, as it takes into consideration the peculiarities of leaseholder’s activity, increases the financing amount of the operations and ensures fiscal advantages. Leasing will significantly simplify the problem of main credit risk of financial support to companies. Due to synchronous use of leasing and insurance operations, investment conditions will become attractive for investors, insurance companies and, especially, for small enterprises.

The central bank of Georgia evaluates the rating of commercial banks in order to identify the lowest ranked, i.e. the most unreliable and unstable banks and to take timely measures to restore their liquidity and solvency. According to law, one of the main objectives and functions of the National Bank of Georgia (NBG) is to ensure the liquidity, solvency and market-based stable functioning of the financial and credit systems of Georgia.

Agricultural producers are guided by market demands through continuous survey of production marketing conditions, on which all their activities are based. The mechanism of pricing according to the existing market price levels is also of importance. One of the main elements for perfection of pricing is the compensatory relief. The proper pricing strategy and determination of the real price precondition the effective functioning of the agrarian sector, which will, in turn, ensure the improvement of producers’ socio-economic conditions.

6.A3.14. Recommendations on regulation of prices for the agrarian sector. /L.Pitiurishvili/.  Agrarian-Economic Science and Technologies. – 2010. - #1. -  pp. 70-75. – geo.; res.: eng.

The government regulation of prices is of great importance. It can be carried out by means of subsidies and/or compensation given to prime products, as well as through starting price, allowing farmers to have a guaranteed price on farm products. The government frequently resorts to subsidizing farmers for paying interest on loan taken for purchasing farm inputs. The government should regulate 20-40% of prices. This particularly concerns staple commodities: farm products, energy carriers, construction materials, metal, and transport tariffs. This will enable the State to control to a certain extent prices on other kinds of commodities. To control prices and pricing in the country, it is necessary that a special structural unit be set up at the Ministry of Finance to periodically control the existing market prices. In addition, its main function will be the drafting of price regulation recommendations and normative acts.

6.A3.15. Root causes of world financial crisis. /R.Ilashvili/. Agrarian-economic Science and Technologies. – 2010. #1. – pp. 88-91. - rus.; res.: geo., eng.

The article identifies the following root causes of the world financial crisis:  (i) monetary policy; (ii) rise in real estate prices; (iii) rise in raw material prices; (iv) real estate/housing bubble; (v) financial bubble; (vi) toxic assets; (vii) derivates. Trying to cope with the world economic problems, the leading countries of the world started to carry out soft monetary policy to stimulate activity in economy. For example, they reduced the bank interest to record level (2003 - 1%), causing thus the converse effect and deepening of the crisis. The real estate/housing bubble was caused by an increase in demand for real estate and its prices. The subsequent decrease in real estate prices led to reduced payback of credits on mortgages. The rise in raw material prices was caused by devaluation of money. As a consequence, the price of crude oil totaled in the 2008 summer $150 a barrel. A slump of raw material prices affected many oil exporting countries, including Russia. The financial/economic bubble was caused by deregulation and substantial risk increase, the creation of the so-called ‘pyramids’. The derivatives imply the transfer of credit risks to other investors. The toxic assets are generally associated with financial instruments like ‘collateralized debt obligations’, ‘credit default swaps’. In the past year, the level of outstanding debts increased from 2.66 to 4.6 percent.

Based on an analysis of the conducted survey it has been found that the lower the risk justification economic limit and higher the level of return, the more justified will be the risk run taking into account different factor positions. Also determined has been the proportional dependence between the economic limits of risk expediency and synthesized indicators of risk return level that has revealed regularity of the dependence and a tendency of interrelation of these two indicators. In general, the study has made it possible to establish for the first time under conditions of Georgia the synthesized and optimized parameters of the economic risk justification and of economic return for farms of different lines of activity in accordance with the essential factor positions. This can be considered as strategic scientific recommendations of practical (applicable) character subject to stage-by-stage adjustments and improvements according to changes in the production and economic-organizational conditions.

6.A3.17. Insurance of deposits for developing the Georgian banking system. /S. Khundadze/. Agrarian-economic Science and Technologies. – 2009. - #3. -  pp. 31-40. – eng.; res.: geo.

Analysis of the official statistics of the NBG clearly shows how negatively is affected the banking sector by instability. To better show the attitude of the Georgians toward banking institutions, 200 respondents from various districts of Tbilisi have been surveyed. The survey results evidence that Georgian population refrains from keeping money in banks owing to their pessimistic attitude. The attitude of majority of the respondents (95%) toward insurance of deposits enables to state that in case the deposit insurance system is put into practice, a substantial part of the population’s savings will most probably flow into the bank channels. The Georgian holders of insured deposits will feel themselves much more protected which will presumably lead to the growth of their deposits as well as of the bank activity and the economy as a whole.

Already before the known 2008 August events the Georgian bank system had been faced with essential problems. True, it managed somehow to resist the processes developed during the combat actions, but they above events have further complicated the existing problems. The August events have had a great impact on the bank system in general and the economy in particular. In August-September, the bank system assets decreased by GEL 1,026 million (13%). The conflict has actually revealed all intraeconomic, as well as bank contradictions and disproportions that existed earlier. And in September-November, the ongoing world economic crisis further deepened these disproportions that have greatly affected the medium-term development of the bank sector.

Analysis of the reasons of global changes in the bank sector is given. The raising speeds of information transfer have greatly influenced the functionality of global and local financial markets and effectiveness of bank financial operations. The application of information technologies in financial organizations and industry is a good opportunity to overcome time and space restrictions. The globalization process conditions, in turn, consolidation of banks. Under conditions of competition and expansion of markets will be absorbed in the process of bank consolidation and globalization and replaced by universal banks and narrow sectoral financial institutions that will best satisfy individual requirements of the clientele.

After the collapse of the Communist regimes and their command economies, the countries of the former Soviet Union found themselves with only a very small amount of goods to supply to the global market. There was no way that they could have existed in an economy of this type that is nothing more than a corpse or a so-called “necroeconomy.” As international experience shows, dead firms do exist and “successfully” function in the most developed of economies as well, with Japan being the most obvious example. These insolvent and, in fact, bankrupt firms which continue to operate despite their “mortality” are commonly referred to as “zombie-firms.”

6.A3.22. Features of the modern economic crisis in Georgia.  /V. Papava/. Ekonomisti. - 2009. - #4. – pp. 5-9. - geo.; res.: eng.

After the five-day Russian-Georgian war in August 2008, and in consideration of the global financial crisis, Georgia has come to face some new economic challenges. As far as Georgia’s economic crisis is concerned, it must be noted that the crisis also has its own domestic roots. These latter consist in the economic policy mistakes that the post-revolution government has made in the aftermath of the Rose Revolution. The negative effects of the Georgian economic crisis might have been far more distressing had the international community not extended a helping hand in response to the Russian military aggression. In other words, although war by essence is a negative phenomenon, it had a positive implication for Georgia, to a certain degree, to the extent that the country received an enormous amount of international financial assistance. This creates, therefore, a so-called “Paradox of War” or a situation wherein aggressive entails not only negative consequences but some positive ones, too.

6.A3.23. Banking system of Georgia under financial crisis. /R. Asatiani/. Ekonomisti. - 2009. - #4. – pp. 10-14. - geo.; res.: eng.

The banking system of Georgia in spite of some recent achievements has not established itself as a stable institution, which would be able to cope with the chronic shortage of capital, due to the various internal or external factors. Hence, it turned unable to cope with economic problems of the country. The crack in the banking system was evident before the beginning of the global crisis in 2008 and it has just widened by the global impact. Notably, the 2008 year’s bottom line ended up with GEL 215 mln in aggregate loss. The long-term loans to the construction industry have mainly promoted imports rather than the development of the local industry. 20% of long-term loans were secured by mortgages. The liquidity risk of the banks was very high, which was safeguarded by the foreign financial institutions’ credit lines. In 2007 they increased by 127%, compared to an increase in volume of local deposits just by 55%. By the end of 2008 the investment activity of banks sharply decreased. The situation was aggravated by the absence of a system of deposit insurance. In this extraordinary situation, commercial banks began changing strategic planning and risk management for the purpose of elaborating a new strategy.

The article describes two different approaches to analyzing individual preferences: the traditional neoclassical economic theory and the heterodox economics. Coming from small amount of basic assumptions, such as selfish, self-interest, rationality, utility maximization, etc. and being aware of the high level of conventions of own human behaviour model, the orthodox preference theory is based on the assumptions of transitivity of preference-indifference relations, strict convexity, completeness, reflexivity, non-satiation, continuity and criticizes all other methods of investigations as less scientific and strict..

This article describes trends prevailing in development of the Georgian banking sector. Specifically, dynamics in bank’s credit portfolio. Growth in risky loans effected loan quality adversely. This paper discusses trends in quality of loans and changes in the structure of credit portfolios. The analysis showed that these changes increased significantly riskiness of bank’s credit portfolio. Also discussed are control issues of credit risk. Regarding this, described are the present rules of regulation and possible ways to improve them, which is based on Basel II concept and align risk-based capital with the economic risk. The issue is to find weights of loan’s risk for each type of loan. These weights are to be then used to establish minimal capital requirements.

The world experience shows that states that select the innovation model of economic development efficiently use the government innovation policy. This policy should be directed to: stirring up of innovation processes in all the spheres of economy; improvement of investment climate; creation of favourable conditions to efficiently use market mechanisms of stimulation of scientific–technical skills and innovative activity; development of an innovative infrastructure; study and efficient use of relevant skills of scientific–technical staff, etc. The government has to create a favourable environment for development of the innovation sphere: legislative, taxation, credit, patent, exchange, license, export, import, etc. It should pursue such a policy that would not only preserve the existing industrial–technical potential but ensure its maximum stirring up and transformation in accordance with the development conditions.

The existing undesirable feedback between the real and financial sectors of economy brings heavy losses for national economy of most of the countries. The financial crisis almost everywhere has dramatically reduced the value of assets, affected well-being of the population and the consumer demand. Against the background of growing uncertainty, experts believe that for the first time this year the volume of production in the countries of developed economy will be reduced by 2%. It is generally agreed that all main tendencies of the world economy are in any event connected with the agrarian sphere. Most experts believe agriculture to become in the foreseeable future the leading sector of economy and a generator that could cope with the global crisis.

6.A3.29. Unemployment and its causes in Georgia. /R. Abeasadze/. Ekonomisti. - 2009. - #5 – pp. 10-20. - geo.; res.: eng.

In most countries, the post-communist transformation began with an economic decrease. In Georgia, it was expresses most evidently. These processes were followed by very high level of unemployment. Many post-communist countries have managed to overcome difficulties and build more or less perfect market economy, decreasing the unemployment almost to its natural rate. Some of them, including Georgia, have failed to solve this problem because of mistakes made in the reforming process and other objective or subjective causes. As a result, such countries have become faced with a high unemployment rate. The article analyzes the situation and causes of unemployment in Georgia and maps out measures to decrease the unemployment level.

6.A3.30. Problems of Georgia’s economy restructuring and employment rate increase. /V. Burduli/. Ekonomisti. - 2009. - #5 – pp. 29-38. - rus.; res.: eng.

It is shown that to ensure increase of the rate of employment in Georgia, it is necessary that a gradual restructuring of the economy be conducted. The contemporary structure of economy has been affected by dependence on the post-soviet economy collapse. The economy restructuring is also necessitated by signals of the world financial and economic crisis. The article investigates such statistics of economic structures as employment, added value by economic activities, and a detailed economic sector dynamics. The current economy structure of the country is shown as not complying with the modern technological structure which, in turn, conditions a high unemployment rate. The experience of some developed countries in the program implementation of measures to improve the economy structure is systematized. The necessity of elaboration of a conceptual program of Georgia’s economic development is grounded and a number of basic requirements to be taken into account in the course of its elaboration are formed.

The problem of unemployment is deemed to be one of the most urgent issues of the economic theory and the population employment and unemployment rates are used as key indicators of macroeconomics (used for assessing the efficiency and identifying main tendencies of functioning and development of market relations with regard for general situation of the national economy). This mentioned problem is the subject of many economists’ researches – beginning with Keynes and including modern scientists. According to this, the ideas of Melton Friedmåen’s (1976 Nobel Prize winner in Economics) on the unemployment problem and the ways of its overcoming are of a great interest.

6.A4.4. Teaching of linear differential equations with constant rates in mathematics. /K. Shvangiradze/. Novation. – 2009. – #5 – pp. 153-157. – geo., res.: geo., rus., eng.

The exercises solution methods under the the­me “Li­ne­ar Dif­fe­ren­ti­al Equations with Constant Rates” are described. Based on the pro­ved ru­les, it is shown that the problem of partial differentiation is reduced to the finding of a fun­da­men­tal system. In ca­se the degree of equations is low and the type of a partial solution is comparatively sim­ple, the undetermined co­ef­fi­ci­ent met­hod with direct embedding into initial equation is used. If the partial solution is complicated and the degree of equations is high, the met­hod of reducing to a simplified equation is used. It is men­ti­o­ned that the method of variation of any constants will make it possible to easily find a partial solution of an undetermined equation, although it is not always reasonable. True, in all the cases when it is pos­sib­le to easily find a partial solution of undetermined equation, the general solution of the undetermined equation can be easily obtained. For this purpose, the cases when the practical finding of a partial solution of undetermined equation is possible have been studied. The given method of the lecture and practical training co­ur­se makes it possible to restore the polynomial root order properties as well as complex number operations when considering properties of the polynomial and its derivations.

The concept of electronic learning (e-learning) was created in the 90s of the 20th century, together with the development of information and communications technologies. It was a great demand for remote learning that conditioned the intensive development of electronic learning. The first stage of electronic learning was identified with technically “improved” form of remote learning, and electronic learning was considered as a technological support to remote learning (multimedia learning). The next stage of electronic learning was conditioned by an increased demand for corporate learning that was connected with great financial expenses, for it implied the on-spot training of the staff of companies and corporations. At that stage, not only numerous learning materials and electronic educational courses but also various electronic learning management models were developed. The third stage of electronic learning is connected with the elaboration of software systems and complex solution of electronic learning problems. These systems include: teaching and methodological materials management systems, testing systems, learning management systems, etc.

A new method for cryptographic systems design has been elaborated. The nonlinear element being used therein is almost devoid of any linearity sign. In applying the system, its linearity degree reduces down to 0, 0003%, which is absolutely neglected within further rounds of processing. This, in turn, highly increases the system’s stability against all known cryptographic attacks. The system has adopted all major advantages of the American standards DES and RIJNDAEL. The system’s ciphering and deciphering process is identical and includes no symmetry to additions, which significantly reduces the work spent on deciphering.

Issues of generation of the orthogonal functions (polynomial functions) in the form of uninterrupted signals are often raised when solving various scientific research tasks, particularly those of mathematical physics. Orthogonal polynomial functions are topical and widely applied in the case of approximation of signals represented in various analogous and discrete forms. Laguerre, Legendre, Hermite, Chebyshev and other orthogonal polynomials are widely applied in practice. Our objective is to elaborate simple and relatively precise methods of simultaneous generation of orthogonal polynomials as uninterrupted signals. This is discussed in detail on the example of the Hermite polynomials. The obtained result allows constructing a simpler and more precise scheme on integrating operational amplifier, different from the existing ones. This scheme requires application of only a single operational amplifier to generate the next orthogonal polynomial.

This is es­pe­ci­ally evident during com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on bet­we­en people of different cultural background, being known as in­ter­cul­tu­ral communicati­on. The ro­le of lan­gu­a­ge in in­ter­cul­tu­ral com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on is understood as a tool realizing forms of lin­gu­al ac­ti­vity through which information is being communicated to the native or foreign language. Re­cent researches tend to frequently use the notion of ‘men­ta­lity’ in­ste­ad that of ‘national character’, which definition in the German language differs from the Georgian equivalent. Thought, sensation and wish are the tree components that define the meaning of this word. The present article briefly describes such terms as ‘la­cu­na’, ‘eg­so­tism’, ‘eth­nog­ra­phism’, which symbolize a foreign cul­tu­re, whereas  the ‘le­xi­cal bac­kgro­und’ is treated as a peculiar ambit between language and culture.

This work is dedicated to the development of methods of calculation of round and circular plates for axisymmetric vibrations. Discussed is the problem of calculation of own axisymmetric harmonious vibrations of plates located on both free and Winkler elastic bases, taking into account the movement along the symmetry axis of a plate, gyrating mass inertia, tensile, (compressive deformation), shear and bend strains, also the longitudinal strain effect. The methods are based on the Kirchhoff's hypothesis with the difference that the straight-line elements of a plate may, after the plate’s deformation, no longer be normally deformed in respect of the intermediate surface. The plate’s material is elastic and obeys the Hooke’s law. The plate deformation being insignificant, the approximate expressions for the curvature can be used. The methods are designated for computer-aided application.

By an analysis of processes taking place in isolated systems with real physical properties it is shown that the known principle of steady growth of entropy and disorder owing to internal dissipation processes leads infringement of the law of energy conservation and, conversely, the meeting of the requirements of the First Law runs contrary to the Second Law that reveals itself in a reduction of entropy in certain processes. It is shown that explanation of such strange phenomena requires that the kinetic energy of relative motion, which plays the role of energy accumulator, be taken into account in the first and second laws.

The work discusses photometric results of the ionosphere glow at a line λ=5577 Å occurred at the moment of the electron beam injection from the rocket into the earth ionosphere. The gradual increase of the glow intensity during impulses was conditioned due to accumulation of the energy of excited states of N2(A3Σ+u), O2(C'Σu) and O('S) during their lifetime. The large disturbed zone in the near-rocket environment (size≥500m) is connected via the interaction of ions accelerated in the rocket potential field with ionospheric components. The glow intensity modulation is observed at a height of ~ 98,9km during the beam-plasma discharge (BPD). The height profile of the glow intensity revealed two maxima of heights of ~103 km and ~115 km.

Questions related to problems of physical simulation of high-frequency power transmission lines are discussed. A circle of tasks, the solution of which is possible on such class models, is considered. An equivalent circuit of the model, in which by certain parameter (GRC – radiation conductivity) the radiating ability of the model provided for and the circuit is considered fit for calculating the processes taking place in the model, has been developed. The radiation conductivity expressions are deduced for the most complex (difficult) in terms of radiation idle mode. To obtain analogous parameters under load conditions, it is necessary that the expressions of radiant power for load conditions rather than those of the idle mode be taken into consideration. The proposed equivalent circuit s universal and allows calculating steady-state conditions of high-frequency lines adjusted for radiation

Moreover, the elementary model of a thermal heat converter is referred to as an example that contradicts the Second Law in support of Maxwell’s Demon.

By means of a sequence φ=(φn )nªN of square-integrable functions, not necessarily orthonormal, on a positive measure space (Ω ,v ) a notion of a φ -summing operator can be defined. We show that the class Πφ. ( X, Y) of all φ -summing operators acting between Banach spaces X, Y is non-trivial iff φ is a 2- dominated sequence. It is shown also that if φ is a 2-dominated sequence, then every 2-summing operator is φ. *-summing.

The rare-earth ordering dihydrides are considered. The influence of ordering processes on the mobility of interstitial H-atoms is investigated. It is shown that those H-H interactions which induce formation of ordered superstructures in the hydrogen sublattice, provide as well the increment of the dwell time of the moving particles. The latter effect can be interpreted as a “weighting” of mobile H-atoms. The influence of the “particle-weighting effect” on the temperature dependence of the dipole-dipole interaction induced nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time is examined. It is shown that although the corresponding changes in the T1d(T) curve are remarkable, their influence on the total T1(T) dependence, determined as well by interactions of nuclear spins with conduction electrons, is negligibly small.

We present several observations about the critical points of the signed area function on configuration spaces (module spaces) of planar quadrilateral linkages. An effective method of counting critical points in question is described which yields comprehensive results for generic quadrilaterals and reveals a number of curious phenomena. In particular, it turns out that critical points of area are typically provided by the so-called circular (cyclic) configurations of quadrilaterals. Our approach permits to effectively calculate the number of circular configurations of a given quadrilateral linkage as well.

In order to obtain the p‑type impurity conduction, ZnO layers were implanted by N+ ions with concentration 1019 cm−3 at energy 110 keV, implantation dose 1015 cm−2, and current density 15 mA / cm2. Healing of the radiation defects created in implanted ZnO crystals was carried out by radical beam quasi-epitaxy (RBQE) in the atmosphere of active oxygen radicals (oC, h, cm−3). As a result we obtained ZnO:N epitaxial layers. According to the measurements with van der Pauw method the holes mobility, their concentration, and layers’ resistivity were found as 23 cm2 / V × s, 5 × 1016 cm−3 and 5.4 W × cm, respectively. In photoluminescence (PL) spectra of ZnO:N, the maxima were observed at 371.5, 381.2, and 387.4 nm. Analysis shows that 371.5 nm links to acceptor-bound exciton (AoX) related to the nitrogen acceptor, 381.2 and 387.4 nm link to NO and donor–acceptor pear (DAP) emissions, respectively.

We have investigated ZnO layers obtained by the radical beam quasi-epitaxy (RBQE) method. By the RBQE technological method p‑type ZnO epitaxial layers were obtained at ºC. Hall measurements performed at T=77 and 300 K. Resistivity was measured as 5 × 102 and 3.1 × 103 Ω × cm at 77 and 300 K, respectively. At 77 K, the holes concentration and mobility was 5 × 1018 cm3 and 22 cm2 / V × s becoming 8 × 1018 cm3 and 250 cm2 / V × s at 300 K. In the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of p‑type ZnO layers at λ=369.1, 374.5, 383.5, 392.5 and 401 nm, bands are observed and identified (at 70 K).

Original method, which enable us to create new quasiepitaxial layers on the surface of binary compound like that on the basic crystal have been elaborated. This method was called radical beam quasi-epitaxy (RBQE). In our case RBQE method enables us to obtain single crystalline layers of ZnO on the basic crystal of ZnSe. But generally it might be use for other binary compounds. For the confirmation of mechanism of defects creation under RBQE we carried out following experiment. We have obtained new layers of ZnO on the ZnSe basic crystal preliminary implanted by oxygen under RBQE (300-800oC). Then, we studied electrical and optical properties of new quasiepitaxial ZnO layers and of ZnSe basic crystals. New quasiepitaxial layers of ZnO are characterized by n‑type, stoichiometric, or p‑type conductivity, which depends on the treatment’s temperature. According to thermo-EMF measurements of ZnSe basic crystal, pre-surface layers always have p-type conductivity after RBQE treatment. In the PL spectra of implanted and nonimplanted ZnSe basic crystals it was observed identical bands, with one difference: in the PL spectrum of implanted ZnSe additionally λ=580 nm bands were observed, which must be connected to the existence of oxygen in the ZnSe.

This paper reports on a new original method of radical beam quasi-epitaxy (RBQE), which enables us to obtain purest monocrystalline ZnO with p‑type conductivity. We investigated electrical and optical properties of the p‑type ZnO crystals obtained with the RBQE method. The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of p‑type basic sample of ZnO contains exciton area (367 – A‑exciton, 369 – bound exciton, 374 nm – phonon replicas of A‑exciton); 385 and 395 nm lines; and a non-structural line with maximum on 510 nm. In the PL spectra of new grown layers of ZnO was observed the peaks at 395 and 460 nm, while intensity of 510 nm lines was significantly reduced. Van der Pauw method was used for investigation of electrical properties of p‑type ZnO layers. The basic p‑type ZnO had holes concentration of 1012 cm−3, mobility 3.4 cm2 / V × s and resistivity 1.8 × 106 W × cm. The new p‑type ZnO layers had parameters 1015 cm−3, 14 cm2 / V × s and 4.5 × 102 W × cm, respectively.

The obtaining of p‑type conductivity in ZnS and ZnO semiconductors depends on the critical temperature Tct. By treatment above this temperature it is impossible to obtain p‑type conductivity. The doping of ZnS and ZnO samples was carried out with S+ ions. Unfortunately, the temperature of annealing the radiation defects exceeds Tct, due to which the effect can not be obtained (in ZnO). In our experiment we took into account factor of Tct. Both Ar+ inert gas and S+ ions were implanted in ZnS and ZnO n‑type samples (ρ=102-103 W × cm) at energy 150 keV and dose of implantation from 1014 to 1016 cm−2. The range of current density was from 0.3 to 5 mA / cm2. The subsequent heat treatment of doped samples was carried out over the temperature range from 300 to 500 ºC in vacuum and saturated S2 vapor. The p‑type ZnS samples were obtained by implantation of Ar+ and S+ ions (current density (0.3 − 5) mA / cm2) under subsequent heat treatment at (420 − 460) °C in S2 saturated vapor. When ZnO was implanted with Ar+ and S+ ions (with heat treatment in O2 atmosphere at temperature from 300 to 350 °C) n‑type samples were obtained with resistivity (109 − 1010) and (1010 − 1011W × cm, respectively.

The technology for preparation of Ho5Sb3 thin films was developed. The samples were prepared by vacuum thermal evaporation from two independent sources of Ho and Sb. Films had a hexagonal lattice with parameters a=8.85 and 6.24 Å. Temperature dependence of the specific resistivity, Hall constant and thermo-EMF coefficient of these samples were measured in the temperature interval from 100 to 700 K. Based on these measurements the basic electro-physical parameters carriers mobility and concentration were determined in the one-band approximation. Obtained results reveal that Nd5Sb3 is a semi-metallic compound.

The aim of this study was to gain insight into the effect of irradiation with 25 MeV protons on the Hall mobility of electrons in n‑Si crystals. Irradiated crystals with an initial electron concentration 6 × 1013 cm−3 were studied using the Hall method in the range of temperatures (77 − 300) K. The studies showed that, in crystals irradiated with the proton dose Φ=8.1·1012 cm−2, the effective mobility of conduction electrons μeff increases drastically. This effect is direct evidence that nanoscale inclusions with relatively high conductivity and with nonrectifying junction at interfaces with semiconductor matrix are predominantly formed in n‑Si crystals under these conditions. Agglomerations of interstitial atoms or their associations can represent such nanoscale inclusions.

Recently, new quantum features have been observed and studied in the area of ridged quantum wells (RQWs). Periodic ridges on the surface of the quantum well layer impose additional boundary conditions on electron wave function and reduce the quantum state density. As a result, the chemical potential of RQW increases and becomes ridge height dependent. Here, we propose a system composed of RQW and an additional layer on the top of the ridges forming periodic series of p+−n+ junctions (or metal−n+ junctions). In such systems, charge depletion region develops inside the ridges and effective ridge height reduces, becoming a rather strong function of temperature T. Consequently, T‑dependence of chemical potential magnifies and Seebek coefficient S increases. We investigate S in the system of semiconductor RQW having abrupt p+−n+ junctions or metal−n+ junctions on the top of the ridges. Analysis made on the basis of Boltzmann transport equations shows dramatic increase in S for both the cases. At the same time, other transport coefficients remain unaffected by the junctions. Calculations show one order of magnitude increase in thermoelectric figure of merit ZT relative to the bulk material.

In order to achieve quantum interference of free electrons inside a solid, we have modified the geometry of the solid so that de Broglie waves interfere destructively inside the solid. Quantum interference of de Broglie waves leads to a reduction in the density of possible quantum states of electrons inside the solid and increases the Fermi energy level. This effect was studied theoretically within the limit of the quantum theory of free electrons inside the metal. It has been shown that if a metal surface is modified with patterned indents, the Fermi energy level will increase and consequently the electron work function will decrease. This effect was studied experimentally in both Au and SiO2 thin films of special geometry and structure. Work function reductions of 0.5 in Au films and 0.2 eV in SiO2 films were observed. Comparative measurements of work function were made using the Kelvin Probe method based on compensation of internal contact potential difference. Electron emission from the same thin films was studied by two independent research groups using Photoelectron Emission Microscopy (PEEM).

The formula is derived for critical concentration of anti-bonding quasi-particles – electrons in the conduction band and holes in the valence band, under the increase of which a low temperature melting of the semiconductor on the electronic mechanism must be occurred.

It is shown that the observed decrease in the absorption coefficient, broadening of the exciton peak, and its shift toward higher energies are caused by the electric and compression fields generated by the radiation-induced defects.

For nondegenerate quadrilateral linkage, we establish that cyclic configurations are critical points of the signed area function on moduli space and their number is determined by the topology of moduli space.

The article considers a closed queuing system for service of replacement and renewal operations. Replacement has absolute priority regarding renewal. Replacement time and renewal time are exponential random variables. Graphic system is constructed for two-dimensional random processes, hence the linear system of algebraic equation expressing the final state of the system is written directly. With the help of the proposed graphic scheme the calculation formulas of final probabilities of system states are received in explicit form.

The solution of the problem mentioned in the title demands that the formation of a defining system of algebraic equations and its solution be repeated at each discrete time interval. The paper proposes a special iteration algorithm by which the formulated equation can be solved by a simple operation of multiplication of matrices and vectors. The conditions for the iteration process convergence are formulated. The proposed iteration algorithm can be considered as the description of the process of motion of a system of particles in a medium in which the position and motion of particles obey non-stationary geometrical conditions, in particular with time delay.

6.B1.48. Study of the absorption signal in the flame of the burner with ring-shaped slot for atomic-absorption spectrometry. /A. Rcheulishvili, Z. Rostomashvili, K. Tsakadze/. Bulletin of the Georgian National Academy of Sciences. – 2009. – vol.3. - # 2. – pp. 48-53. – eng.; res.: eng., geo.

In this article, the original structure of a burner with ring-shaped slot for atomic-absorption spectrometer (AAS) is considered. This burner forms the lateral cylindrical flame with the length limited by the screen and the air stream. The beam from the light source to the monochromator passes through the ringshaped slot and coincides with the symmetry axis of the cylinder, formed by the flame. We offer the method of calculation of the absorption signal (the number of studied atoms in the absorption zone) at raying of the flame parallel to the velocity of air flame, when the process is stationary and the transverse shift of the absorbing atoms in the flame takes place only due to diffusion. The absorption signal dependence on such parameters as ring-shaped slot radius, flame length, the flame air velocity and the distance between the light beam and the center of the ring-shaped slot was studied. It is shown that absorption signal increases with increase of the flame length, decrease of the ring-shaped slot radius and the flame air velocity. From the obtained results, we may conclude that the design offered by us allows effective concentration of absorbing atoms in the absorption zone. The absorption signal (sensitivity) sharply increases compared with common slot burners in the same conditions. The device has reserves for further increase of the absorption signal. The burner also allows increase of the absorption signal, when it is used as a “pulsed vaporizer-flame” type atomizer. At this, it is possible to detect hardly atomized elements as there is no need of application of nickel or quartz tube, which is successfully replaced by cylindrical flame.

A great series of computer experiments have been carried out to determine the composition of combustion products in methane-oxygen systeme at various ratios of fuel and oxidizer. The process of combus-tion of natural gas is led to thermodynamic study of "C-H-N-O" system, which is based on the Gibbs energy minimization method within temperature interval 1000-3000K. On the basis of obtained results the tem-perature cut diagrams have been constructed, which are close to temperatures of the processes going on in industry. We also offer the data of main components of the exhaust gas as a result of natural gas burn-ing obtained by theoretical computation on the computer, when α=2, and experimentally. Due to the fact that theoretical and experimental results differ insignificantly and don't contradict each other, we conclude that the offered method enables us to study combustion processes for any type of natural fuel.

The article concerns the error made almost 120 years ago during the interpretation of Michelson’s experiment which caused the great damage to the development of theoretical physics because the aether’s hypothesis was denied. As the Michelson’s experiment took into the consideration the alternation of the light’s velocity C, its mathematical interpretation was accordingly projected. But the experiment didn’t show the alternation of C. So the formula  and , doesn’t correspond to the elementary laws of physics: Because of this error the electrodynamics’ law opposites the Galilee’s transformation formulas. In this article is discussed that the correction of the error made during the interpretation of Michelson’s experiment, revealed that there is no conflict between the electrodynamics’ law and the Galilee’s transformation formulas, when we imagine the light spread area in discreet surrounding, the existence of still material surroundings – historical ether is doubtless. It must be the main starting-point for every movement and simultaneously any physical process, even the mechanical movement, can’t be discussed without the participation of material surroundings. In the article is also shown the amazing philosophic point of view, that our surrounding’s diversity comes from the unifaced particle, which creates the above mentioned material surroundings.

6.B2.36. Effect of seed stratification on embryo growth dynamics and dormancy break in taxus baccata L. /N. Shakarishvili/. Proceedings of the Georgian Academy of Sciences. Biological Series B. - 2009. - #3-4. – pp. 18-23. – eng.; res.: geo., eng.

Seeds of English yew (Taxus baccata L.) germinate in the second or even the third year after ripening due to shift to dormant stage soon after maturation. In order to break dormancy, seeds were warm (25° C, 90 days) and cold (5° C, 90 d.) stratified under moist conditions. At the end of cold stratification, the embryo size increased 3 times; the embryo reached the full length of the seed; the seed coat spitted along the ridges; soon after sowing, the embryo became green and the early germination phase occurred. Over 60% of the stratified seeds had a pregermination potential. The data obtained make it possible to suggest that the most practical and simple method of yew seeds germination is to stop their dormancy as a result of warm and cold stratification under damp conditions. The adoption of this technique might be useful for yew conservation strategies.

6.B2.37. Dynamics and species composition of phyto- and zooplankton of the Tbilisi Sea, Kumisi and Lisi Lakes in vicinity of Tbilisi, Georgia.  /R. Kalandadze, E. Mikashavidze,  M. Mgeladze , E. Jaiani, N. Janelidze . C. Whitehouse, A. Huq, M. Tediashvili/. Proceedings  of the Georgian Academy of Sciences. - 2009. - #3-4. – pp. 24-34. – eng.; res.: geo., eng.

Three multifunctional water reservoirs in the vicinity of Tbilisi, Georgia - Tbilisi Sea, Kumisi and Lisi Lakes- have been studied during 30 months in 2006-08 for phytoplankton and zooplankton abundance and dynamics, species composition and their role in assessing the ecological status of the reservoirs. Kumisi Lake, a brackish water body, appeared to be most rich in phytoplankton species - 124 species of 8 taxonomic groups were detected, leaded by Bacillariophyta. Cyanophyta dominated by abundance comprising 95% of the total phytoplankton numbers in the Kumisi Lake and causing periodical massive blooms involving toxic forms Oscilatoria planctonica, O. limnetica, O. brevis, Microcystis aeruginosa etc. 90 species of 7 taxonomic groups of microalgae were identified in the Tbilisi Sea, presented by Bacillariophyta (42% of species), Chlorophyta (17%), Cyanophyta (17%) and other groups. The spring and autumn algal blooms in 2006-07 were dominated by diatoms Fragilaria crotonensis and F. capicin, while in summer 2008 the massive bloom of Chrysophyta was detected. Similar phytoplankton composition but slightly lower diversity was observed in the Lisi Lake with 81 species of 8 taxonomic groups leaded by Diatom algae. Several abundance peaks during 2006-08 were due to significant increase in Diatoms, specifically, Nitzschia holsatica numbers and also by pyrrophyte algae (Peridinium bipes, Ceratium carolinenanum, etc). The zooplankton analysis showed presence of three main groups (Rotatoria, Copepoda and Cladocera) in all three reservoirs with certain difference in species composition and abundance. Rotatoria comprised up to 62%, 55% and 63% of total number of zooplankton species in Kumisi and Lisi Lakes and Tbilisi Sea, respectively. The rest was presented by Copepoda (15-19%) and Cladocera (7-15%) groups, also by larvae of Nematodes, Chironomidae and Oligochaeta. In all three reservoirs the indicator phyto- and zooplankton species have been detected, and the saprobic class of water reservoirs was specified. Tbilisi Sea has been attributed to oligosaprobic-β-oligosaprobic reservoirs, while Lisi Lake was classified as β-oligosaprobic- β-mesosaprobic, and Kumisi Lake as α, β-mesosaprobic, eutrophic water reservoirs.

6.B2.39. Association between seropositivity for cytomegalovirus (Cmv) and Cd4+ cytotoxic T cells expansions in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocyte leukaemia (B-Cll) and healthy controls. /N.

Proceedings of the Georgian Academy of Sciences. Biological Series B. - 2009. - #3-4. – pp. 41-46. – eng.; res.: geo., eng.

B cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) is characterized by the clonal expansion of CD5+CD19+CD23+ B cells. During the course of B-CLL, the expansion of neoplastic clone is accompanied by a disbalance between CD4+/CD8+ T cells and by deficiency of T cell function. We have previously shown an expansion of CD4+ perforin (PF)+ cytotoxic T cells (cytT) with undefined specificity in patients with B–CLL. It has been demonstrated by others that the expansion of CD4+PF+ T cells in control individuals is often associated with chronic viral infections. Taking into consideration that B-CLL patients are immunocompromised, with frequent viral infections, we investigated the role of CD4+PF+ cytotoxic T cells in immune responses to one of the most common chronic viral infections – human cytomegalovirus (hCMV). We studied an association of cytT cell frequencies with the chronic CMV infection in 32 B-CLL patients and 18 age-matched healthy controls. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were immunostained with anti-CD4~PerCP monoclonal antibodies (mAb), fixed, permeabilised and immunostained with anti-PF~FITC mAb. Cells were fixed and analyzed by flow cytometry. Serum samples were routinely tested for anti-IgG antibodies to CMV. Here we show that CD4+PF+ T cell expansions appeared to be strongly associated with CMV seropositivity in healthy individuals, and, particularly, in B-CLL patients. The immunocompromised status of the majority of B-CLL patients may facilitate expansion of this unusual population of cytotoxic cells to combat reactivation of a chronic CMV infection.

6.B2.40. Crown gall disease of grapevine in Georgia. /N. Giorgobiani, R. Keshelava, A. Vainstein, L. Chernin, N. Dandurishvili, Sh. Kharadze/. Proceedings of the Georgian Academy of Sciences. Biological Series B. - 2009. - #3-4. – pp. 51-56. – eng.; res.: geo., eng.

Elimination of the thick stand of vineyards caused by diseases, and particularly by crown gall, is one of the considerable potentials for increasing the vineyard capacity. During long term investigations, it was established that crown gall is widespread in the main vine growing regions of Georgia. Spreading of the disease has a focal character; it varies by regions from 16-18% to 55-65% and causes premature withering of grapevines and thick stand of vineyards. The crown gall damages basically the overground organs of vine. The tumors are found near the root neck, on the trunk and on the 1-year old canes. They are found less frequently on the roots and annual shoots. The causative agents of the disease were isolated from different organs of diseased and externally sound vines which points to the presence of the pathogen in the plants and its long-term remaining in a latent state. The pathogens were isolated from xylem exudates, tumors and rhizosphere. The taxonomy of the causative agents has been established – they have been identified as Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

Biological Series B. - 2009. - #3-4. – pp. 57-66. – eng.; res.: geo., eng.

Application of bacteriophages in complex with antifungal preparations for treatment of associated bacterial and fungal infections is being considered as a novel approach to deal with this problem. A biocomposite film was created by using the biodegradable polymer containing new bacteriophage combination (Pyobacteriophage+Klebsiella, Enterococcus, Acinetobacter bacteriophages), Pimafucin and Trypsin. Among the antifungal substances pimafucin was chosen, because it is less toxic in comparison with other antifungal remedies and it does not cause phage inactivation. At a certain stage trypsin contributes to the wound healing process and does not decrease phage activity significantly in laboratory conditions. Therefore this enzyme was chosen for incorporation into the complex. The biocomposite film is characterized by high activity towards bacterial and fungal flora and appeared to work according to the controllable phage release principle provided by the enzyme used in its composition.

DNA synthesis in functionally different monofunctional (MOF) and bifunctional (BIF) flight muscles (dorsal longitudinal 112, tergosternal 113, tergocoxal 119,120) of the locust in the process of imago development (one-day and mature locust) has been investigated. Using H3-timidin as a marker it has been determined that the intensity of DNA synthesis in the locust functionally different MOF and BIF flight muscles of one-day imago (the wings are not functioning yet) is 2-4 times higher than that of mature locust. It indicates that up to this period of development the process of formation of flight apparatus is not finished yet. In MOF muscle 112 of one-day imago as well as in the case of mature locust the level of DNA synthesis was low. The differences among DNA synthesis in other muscles (113,119,120) were not observed.

A complex of papaya protease (CPP) obtained from the latex of unripe fruits of papaya (Carica papaya), possessing high proteolytic, antipyretic and necrolitic properties, is rather effective in the treatment of many diseases that are related to the degenerative changes in the tissues; however, its application is comparatively limited due to its allergenic action. For the purpose of elimination of these undesirable properties, the strengthening of thermostability in the solutions, the chemical modification of the CPP by polyamide ligands with the molecular weight from 30 to 88 kDa, representing by-products of polycondensation of lysine with the adipic or sebacic acid (4- Lys and 8- Lys, respectively), was carried out. The modified preparations preserved 80-95% of the initial proteolytic activity of the CPP, with a sharp increase in the stability in solutions at 500Ñ.

Kutateladze Pharmacochemistry Institute. Collected Scientific Works. - 2009. - #1 (17). – pp. 107-114. – geo.; res.: geo., eng., rus.

The simple apparatus and method for in vitro study of electrophoresis regulations of proteolytic enzymes through the membranes of animal skin have been developed. It has been shown that papaya proteases fail to penetrate into the frozen chicken skin rather than overcome this barrier without electric current. During electromigration, a certain part of papaya proteases accumulates in the skin structure. By the experiments on the frozen chicken skin and “alive” rat skin it has been shown that dimethylsulfoxide (2-3 drops by 10 ml of anodic solution) strengthens the permeability of papaya proteases up to 12-14%. The negative influence of the “parasitic” ions of physiological solution on the electrophoresis of papaya proteases has been confirmed, which prejudices the application of the solution in the procedures of electrophoretic treatment with karipazim.

6.B2.73. Cariogeographical analysis of rare and endemic calcifilous plants of West Transcaucasia. /R. Gagnidze,M. Churadze,T. Cheishvili/. I. Kutateladze Pharmacochemistry Institute. Collected Scientific Works. - 2009. - #1 (17). – pp. 137-162. – geo.; res.: geo., eng., rus.

The calcefilous cariogeography of the West Transcaucasis has been studied. For the first time has been calculated the number of chromoses of the species: Aristolochia pontica Stev.2n=12, Epimedium colchicum (Boiss.) Trautv. 2n=12, Amphoricarpos elegans Albov 2n=22, Kemulàriella colchica (Albov) Tamamsch. 2n=12, Leptopuscolchicus (Fisch.etMey.) Pojark. 2n=12, Gentiana oschtenica (Kusn.) Woronow 2n=26, Betonica abchasica (Bornm.) Chinth. 2n=16, Scutellaria helenae Albov 2n=22, Ranunculus grossheimii Kolak. 2n=16, R.helenae Albov 2n=16, Daphne pseudosericea Pobed. 2n=18, Astrantia colchica Albov 2n=14, Heracleum calcareum Albov 2n=22. Based on a cariological and botanical-geographic analysis and against the background of the Euxinian Basin history, the development and formation of the West Transcaucasia limestone flora is discussed. It is found that most calcifilous and facultative species of the northern and eastern areas of the  Euxinian Basin are diploid and preserve the florogenetical links with representatives of the calcifilous flora of the Mediterranean region. These species can be ascribed to the Euxiniam florogenetic element. In terms of systematization, a part of diploid species is isolated, and poliploid endemic species belong to represent arch endemics or paleopoliploids. In addition to the number of chromosomes of the species given in the work, the herbarium number of the studied species, location, collector, as well as the sample storage place (TBI-Tbilisi Botanical Institute,TB-Tbilisi State University) are given.

The reasons of albumin loss upon ultrafiltrative concentration are shown. For reducing albumin loss, the optimum type of the membrane UPM-100 according to selectivity is chosen. The advantage of pulsative mode of divided solution and optimum mode parameters of the division process in the view of the optimal constructive parameter, the height of the channel of division are experimentally established. For ultrafiltrative concentration the flow pulsative mode of divided solution is chosen which is more effective than turbulent mode. The optimum frequency of pulsation (1.1 pulses per second) and the height of channel of division (1,5 mm) are established. It is proved that with application of the abovementioned parameters upona ultrafiltrative concentration the loss of albumin decreases in 5-6 times.

Red blood group antigens represent a genetically stably determined trait, being of many-sided biological and clinical significance. The indigenous Ajarian population (105 subjects) was investigated for ABO, Rh-Hr, Kell, MN red blood group markers. Using immunoserologic methods, 13 erythrocytic group antigens (two of the ABO system: A, B; seven of the RH system: C, C, Cw, D, Du, E, e; two of the Kell system: K and k, and two of the MN system: M and N antigens) were studied. The obtained results were statistically processed. 44±4.9% of the said region’s population are carriers of the blood group 0(I), 37±4.82% are carriers of the phenotypic group A(II). Rather high is the ratio of the B(III) blood-group carriers (17±3.7%). The AB(IV) blood group is observable in 2±1.4%. In studying individual antigens of the Rh system in the Khulo population, the maximum frequency distribution of the e antigen was found (100±3.12%), being followed in frequency by the c antigen (89±3.12%). The frequency of the D antigen made up 82±3.8%, and that of the d antigen - 18±3.8%. The frequency of the c antigen made up 61±4.8%, that of the E antigen 23±4.2%. Six Rhphenotypic groups of various frequencies were recorded for the Khulo region population. The CcDee phenotype is the most characteristic of the said region’s population. Its distribution frequency amounts to 38±4.8%. The major part of the population is the carrier of the M-phenotypic group. The ratio of the MN phenotypic group carrier is 1.5 times less (32±4.6%). The N phenotypic group is characterized by a relatively lower frequency (20±4%).

The Cretaceous Madneuli barite-gold-copper-pollymetallic deposit is a major deposit of the

Georgian Bolnisi mining district, located in the Artvin-Bolnisi zone. This contribution presents a detailed lithofacies analysis of volcanic host rocks of the Madneuli deposit, including detailed mapping of six outcrop sections, hand samples studies and thin section observations. The rhyolitic volcanoclastic host rocks can be divided into three groups: (1) massive breccias interpreted as massive breccia flows, (2) stratified tuff and lapilli tuff (including ignimbrites, rhyolite and rhyodacite pyroclastic flows), and (3) turbiditic tuff. On the northern level of the deposit two ignimbrite horizons were singled out. One of them (columnar jointed ignimbrite) was first seen and described by the authors. The same should be said about the association of ignimbrite with rhyolitic pyroclastic lava flows and dacitic hyaloclastic rocks.

Taking into account the greenhouse effect and contemporary surface temperature of Venus, the value 352°C is taken as the ancient Earth’s surface temperature. A model of the atmosphere is beuilt; its principal components are CO2 and H2O. The obtained results radically change the traditional notions on the climatic conditions dominating on the Earth in the epoch of the origin of life on it. The above fact should be taken into consideration when investigating the problem of the origin of life on the planet.

By calculations of the thermal balance of the Earth it is shown that about half of the solar energy falling on the terrestrial surface is spent on evaporation of water from the surfaces of oceans, seas and the land. Part of it is absorbed by green plants, but thermal energy emitted because of human activity is by four orders less than the energy received by the Earth from the Sun. It is also noted that an increase in the concentration of CO2, which is considered to be the principal cause of the greenhouse effect, has a very poor influence on the average-annual temperature of the Earth, and the infrared radiation of the terrestrial surface absorbed by molecules of CO2 cannot evoke the greenhouse effect.

The article is devoted to application problems of new methods of electric energy transmission to long distances, in particular the development of calculating model for controlled transmission lines. Controlled lines are lines of a new generation which can change equivalent parameters depending on a mode. In terms of design, a controlled line is a system structured with homonymous phase wires of two chain lines arranged in pairs in which lines are approached to each other on minimal admitted distance, creating maximal electromagnetic interaction between circuits of the line. Due to such design of a line, the equivalent inductive resistance significantly decreases, increasing throughput of the line. In the article calculating method of a controlled line is developed. It is shown that each circuit of such line can be considered as a four-terminal network, transmission constant of which, together with wave parameters, are depended on the angle of shift between voltages of circuits. In contrast to the circuits that are not dependant on the shift angle, particular equivalent circuits are relatively simple. They facilitate calculations and analysis of controlled power transmission lines for the established modes.

In the work the question of replacement of copper pipes serving for cooling electro-contact «jaw» of ore alloy furnaces is considered for the purpose of increasing reliability and duration of their work. An alternative method of preparation the «jaw» with application of composite materials by use of a metal-textile composition is offered. The technology of preparation of a composite pipe is given and the tests for its reliability are carried out. Testing of a composite pipe formed by the offered method has shown that the electro-contact “jaw” and its cooling channel completely meet the requirements to the ore alloy furnace. Moisture existing in the composite pipe and the combustible gases are intensively and forced out from the form. The produced «jaw» is of a uniform structure and the performance increases 2-2.5 times. The application of the composite pipe in the electro-contact unit – “jaw” - has decreased their weight by 65kg

The adhesion strength of secondary polyolefin compositions against the filler in the binder-fiber model system has been studied. Measurements were carried out from the liquid nitrogen temperature (-1950) up to +1200. It is determined that, close to the vitrification temperature and above, the adhesion strength in the polymeric material-fiber system does not practically depend on the specimen size, both in respect of the primary and secondary thermoplastics. The temperature dependence of the adhesion strength of different systems has an extreme character, its maximum being observed in the polyolefin vitrification temperature range. An increase in temperature leads to a gradual decrease in the adhesive strength, being especially notable in the polymer softening temperature section, verging to zero.  Other examples of adhesion strength changes are given.

Both populations have been found polymorphic to the investigated trait. The Anaga population, in contrast to the Surebi population, has been subjected to the effect of copper ions for decades. As a result of natural selection, a great number of resistant strains have been accumulated in the Anaga population. A genetic analysis has established that out of 10 strains of the Anaga population 6 contain two resistance determining SMF1 and SMF2 dominant genes. The studied strains of the Surebi population have only one active locus.

The importance of standardization of the differentiation of juveniles in Georgia according to the foot size is shown and the relevant current situation is analyzed. New research results are shown and basic criteria for developing a new method of sex-age specific classification formation of 9-17 year old juveniles are determined. It is established that “integration” of groups by a merger of adolescents of both sexes into the low age group brought forth positive results. In particular, the planning of lasts of one design for the juveniles of both sexes will be sufficient, the number of lasts and, accordingly, cutters, forms and other equipment will be reduced. It is shown that the basis of “integration” is the merger of adolescents of senior age (over 14) with the adult population that entails the reduction of lasts and other manufacturing equipment. Under condition of small enterprises, this will make possible to diversify footwear manufacture; for example, the enterprise will be able to make footwear not only for women but also for girls (group 7), not only for girls, but also for boys (group 4), etc. The new system will ensure rational supply of an enterprise with lasts and the corresponding reduction of the cost of products and increase in revenues. In addition, the new system will ensure better satisfaction of the young people with footwear, and is to be introduced at small shoe factories.

It is shown that quality improvement of textile materials depends on many factors and first of all requires the knowledge of textile material properties, their correct and accurate estimation, objective appreciation and control of their quality parameters, the influence of deteriorative factors on the product quality. As it is known, textile materials tend to change a linear dimension which is conditioned by a number of factors. First of all, it is swelling, relaxation and friction between fibers and threads. All these factors are interconnected, which enables additional study of their impacts on the shrinkage. 22 samples of clothes and fabrics are chosen for studying. They are grouped according to the fibrous structure in the following order: cotton - 33.3%, wool – 22.2%, flax – 11%, silk – 28.5%. The shrinkage of surface fabrics is determined by a new technique developed by the authors. The dependence of the set of wrap and the set of weft on shrinkage and air permeability is determined. The comparison of the obtained result demonstrated that the shrinkage studied by our technique decreased in the samples 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 22 and increased in the samples 1, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11. However, such differences cannot be considered as deterioration of properties, as the difference is not big and it does not depend only on conditions of operation. For the purpose of establishing a regulation between the above-mentioned parameters, the obtained results are processed by methods of mathematical statistics, using two-factor and multifactor analyses. The coefficients of correlation and regression equations are calculated, and the regression equations are constructed for both the normalized and natural variables.

The peculiarities of measurement of specific humidity of fibrous materials by means of electrical method are shown. It is indicated that fibrous materials have both the active and reactive conductance and are characterized of the polarization current at the dc voltage, which is associated with the measurement error. For measuring humidity at the alternating voltage, the capacity method is recommended. An analysis of the design of condensers is given, on the basis of which it is established that capacitor transducers cannot provide input and removal of materials in the gauge and cannot ensure accuracy upon non-uniform distribution of moisture in the materials. For reducing the measurement error caused by non-uniform distribution of humidity in the material and density changes and for preserving the transducer operation condition, it is recommended that the capacitor transducer be designed as a plane-arranged electrode condenser.

The possibility of obtaining knitted fabric for technical purposes on the loom with a shutdown press is discussed. Six variants of knitted fabrics have been developed which differ from one another in thread laying and applied raw materials. The pieces of knitted fabric have been studied for the following parameters: longitudinal and transverse breaking tension, durability, hygroscopic property, air permeability. The cotton-yarn knitted samples are characterized of high hygienic properties – high hygroscopic property and air permeability, but have very law durability. But the stretch-thread knitted samples are characterized of high physical and mechanical properties and low hygienic parameters. The cotton-yarn knitted variants combined with stretch thread have been found to possess the best properties of both raw materials. It is shown that for knitting fabric for technical purposes is expedient to use combination of cotton yarn and stretch thread.

The optimal values of parameters of dry tea se­lec­ti­ve bre­a­king are ex­pe­ri­men­tally grounded. A rol­ler tea bre­a­king mac­hi­ne has been designed as a la­bo­ra­tory de­vi­ce, which makes it possible to chan­ge the ope­ra­ting fac­tors in the gi­ven in­ter­vals.  The criterion determining technological efficiency of separation of a two-com­po­nent blend in two frac­ti­ons is ac­cep­ted as a criterion for estimating the experiments, the extreme value of which is being found by using the sim­plex met­hod. As a re­sult, it is concluded that the highly ef­fective se­lec­ti­ve bre­a­king of dry tea is achieved under conditions of the mi­ni­mum va­lu­es of the rol­lers’ di­a­me­ter of the bre­a­king mac­hi­ne and low solidity of its elas­tic sur­fa­ce.

The development of modem computer technologies allows controlling the constructions in an uninterrupted automatic regime. This requires that the information on test results is to be obtained through the existing converters and transformed in a form that is easy to process. Therefore, during any test, it is necessary that, first of all, the test parameters be identified and the methodology for their identification selected. In order to identify the parameters in their entirety, which are important at any stage of the strained deformed state of bending reinforced concrete constructions, a simple methodology has been developed. In addition, the initial dynamic and static rigidities have been established and compared with the theoretical value of the rigidity.

Georgia, as an active seismic region, much importance attaches to a wide use of light concrete in the construction industry. Based on the light concrete effectiveness, the production of artificial light concrete aggregates, which is rather costly, has been practiced globally for a long time now. As for Georgia, whose reserves of natural aggregates of volcanic origin, the physical and mechanical properties of which are well studied, are practically unlimited, are less employed. Given the booming construction in the country, further study of the concrete based on such aggregates is necessary. For this purpose, light concrete testing for axial compression and tension in the case of both one-time as well as of cyclically increasing static loads of seismic type have been carried out.

The beech begins good seed production at the age of 50-60 years and produces seeds once in 3-5 years periodically. The beech seed production sharply differs in even-aged and all-aged stands. In an even-aged stand, according to the Kraft’s classification, only trees of a high class produce seeds. Unlike the even-aged stand, in an all-aged stand, the trees of the first- and second-age generations produce seeds, while the trees of the third-age generation do not participate in the process. Both in the first and in the second case, thanks to selective cutting of crowns and the creation of favorable conditions of illumination, according  to the Kraft, the trees of the third-fourth class of the even-aged stand, and the trees of the third generation - in the all-aged stand start to produce seeds. According to the Kraft’s classification, the best seed production is characteristic of the trees of the second class and the second-age generation.

The high yield of tomatoes in the trial variants 1, 2, 8 and 9 sharply increased the taking up of nutrient elements and their washout from the soil. In the case of green manuring, the amount of nitrate nitrogen in tomatoes decreases, making about 36.0-104.0 mg/kg according to the trial variants.

The main attention in the work is given to horizontal vibrations acting on the driver’s seat. Also given are the transfer ratios from the truck frame to the cabin and the spectral distribution of accelerations on the driver’s seat. Over-the-road tests evidenced that the horizontal loads are less dependent upon speed fluctuations (constituting approximately 3–5%) and make 60–80% of the vertical fluctuations. The rate of loads in the longitudinal direction is 20–25% less for the experimental suspension compared with the commercially made one, and the transfer ratio is improved by 18–23%. The vertical load acting on the driver’s seat is especially disturbing in the 1,5–2,5 Hz frequency span. The rate of spectral distribution in the longitudinal direction is 16–20% less for the experimental embodiment as compared with the commercially made one in the 1,5–2,5 Hz frequency span, and makes 26-50% in the 4-6 Hz frequency span. In the high frequency span, the difference is insignificant.

The work presents a test-bench design for determining the pneumatic tire-ground interaction and the bench testing methods. The test-bench design enables investigation of the roadability parameters of the oscillating and non-oscillating tires upon rolling in the dirty road track in both the driving and driven modes. For this purpose, an inertia vibrator of rotations is used in the wheel fixing device of the test-bench, which ensures the wheel’s sinusoidal vibration of different frequency and amplitude during its rolling on the ground surface. To assess the impact of vertical vibrations of different frequency and amplitude on the coefficient of resistance to the wheel rolling, the so-called relative characteristic is introduced. It represents a ratio of rolling resistance coefficients being determined for the cases of switched-on and switched-off vibrators under identical test conditions.

The treatment results of 378 patients with the obturator abdominal wall hernia of different localization are analyzed. Methods of alloplasty with the application of synthetic polypropylene mesh with the rational selection of anesthesiology, antibiotic therapy, adequate drainage, the degree of disease and the selection of patient according to concomitant diseases are characterized by the minimal number of postoperative complications. During operations with traditional methods, relapses occurred in seven cases (2.3%) and were not recorded in plasty with polypropylene mesh. Specific complications during plasty of local tissues occurred in 21 cases (6.5%), during alloplasty - in 4 cases (4.9%). Non-specific complications during autoplasty occurred in 9 cases (3.1%) cases, during alloplasty - in 2 cases (2.7%). The fatal outcome during traditional treatment was observed in 4 cases (1%) and was not recorded during alloplasty.

The health care industry in the United States is under great economic and political pressure to reduce costs, optimize its operations, and serve more customers with fewer resources. The industry faces increased demands from stakeholders to improve the quality, safety, security, effectiveness, and efficiency of the entire health care system. The health care industry is evaluating emerging information technologies to help implement the paradigm and technology shifts needed to meet stakeholder demands. These transformations affect consumers, providers, insurers, and employers. Information technology (IT) promises to change the landscape of health care, shifting the focus from hospital- and office-based care to customer-centric systems, including care based on the patient’s location. Health care consumers will be able to take advantage of social networking opportunities that will enhance their health care education and empower them with more control over their health care options. Some companies are offering innovative solutions, but lack a well-defined business model to motivate investors. This research presents some of these technologies, participants that are using them and the barriers that they are facing. It also looks at the future of technology-enabled health care.

6.C13.10. Dual inhibition of cholesterol synthesis and absorption by statins and ezetimibe: a new approach to dyslipidemia treatment. /N. Kipshidze, K. Nadaraia/. Bulletin of the Georgian National Academy of Sciences. – 2009. – vol.3. - # 2. – pp. 150-155. – eng.; res.: eng., geo.

In clinical practice, clinicians may not increase statin dose levels out of concern for potential adverse events or because titration of statin doses provides only limited additional effectiveness. Ezetimibe, a novel agent inhibiting cholesterol absorption, can be effectively and safely co-administered with any dose of any statin and, compared with the single inhibition of cholesterol production, afforded by statins alone, provides consistently greater reductions in LDL-C through dual inhibition of both cholesterol production and absorption. The aim of our study was to evaluate the additional effectiveness and safety of Ezetimibe in high risk patients with documented coronary heart disease who were not at goal with starting doses of a statin. The including criteria of 127 patients, enrolled in the study were the presence of established CHD plus type 2 diabetes of at least 3 months duration and/or other major risk factors, LDL-C > 100 mg/dl and < 250 mg/dl, high triglycerides (TG) ≥200 mg/dl and <400 mg/dl. Patients had to have been receiving therapy with a stable dose of baseline statin, either simvastatin 20 mg or atorvastatin 10 mg, for at least 4 weeks. At randomization, patients were assigned to switch to ezetimibe/atorvastatin 10mg/10mg (Gr. 1) or to continue baseline statin at double the dose: simvastatin 40mg or atorvastatin 20 mg (Gr. 2). After 12 week follow up analysis of the study showed that 72.6% of patients (45 from 62) in Gr. 1 achieved LDL-C < 100 mg/dl vs 27.7% of patients (18 from 65) in Gr. 2 (P<0.001). 29.0% of patients (18 from 62) from Gr. 1 reached More lower LDL-C goal of below 70 mg/dl vs 4.6% (3 from 65) of patients in Gr. 2 (P<0.01). Patients from Gr. 1 experienced an additional mean LDL-C reduction of 29.2% after 12 weeks vs 12.3% in Gr. 2 (P<0.001). No statistically significant differences were observed between the 2 treatment groups with respect to musculoskeletal or overall adverse experiences. Conclusions. According to our study we conclude that for high risk patients with CHD who did not achieve LDL-C goal on their starting dose of statin therapy, ezetimibe/atorvastatin combination provided superior lipid-lowering efficacy vs doubling the dose of the baseline statin after 12 weeks of study. Therapy with ezetimibe/atorvastatin was generally well tolerated. Dual inhibition of hepatic cholesterol synthesis and intestinal cholesterol absorption may be a new and practical approach to today’s treatment for dyslipidemia.

This paper discusses the effects of natural zeolites (particularly clinoptilolite-containing tuffs from various deposits) on the living organism, both animal and human. It is shown that natural zeolites are harmless, possess the metabolism-normalizing, bactericidal, immunostimulatory and antioxidative properties. They diminish mortality and morbidity with regard to many diseases and disorders affecting cattle, sheep and goats, swine and poultry. Hence, it is rational to utilize zeolites in animal husbandry. They are used successfully in the treatment of different human diseases. The zeolite efficacy in gastroenterology merits particular attention. It is established that zeolites can be used both in human and veterinary medicine as biologically active food additives (dietic additives), drugs, drug carriers, adjuvants in anticancer therapy and antimicrobial agents as well. The data fully substantiate the expediency of further research in terms of studying natural zeolites and their biological and medicinal effects.

Heterogeneous interest of blood corpuscles taking place in protective manifestations points to the existence of the immune centre in the cortex, the function of which is broken at the moment. The clinical material demonstrates that the protection of the immune system during oncological diseases takes place improperly, which conditions the patient’s state deterioration. Concurrently, the authors state that in any case cells can be found where the proper direction is seen. However, the number of such cells is insignificant.  Hence, it may be concluded that the linkage of the immune and nervous systems is broken.

Salt sensitivity was assessed in normotensive 48 young and 62 elderly males. Salt sensitivity was assessed by the difference of mean arterial pressure (MAP) on high (200 µmol Na/day) vs. low (40 µmol Na/day) sodium diet. Plasma rennin activity (PRA) was assessed during both diets. High salt diet led to significant increase in systolic blood pressure and MAP only in salt-sensitive subjects with peak levels in the elderly. Only salt-resistant subjects responded adequately during high salt diet by decrease in PRA which was significantly lower compared to basal levels. In salt-sensitive groups, especially in the elderly, PRA decreased to a lesser extent. Final clarification of mechanisms of salt-sensitivity in normotensive elderly calls for further investigations.

The science-based handling of the set problem should contribute to the development of Georgian agriculture, specialization of agroproduction, effective use of the economic and technological environment and proper determination of scopes of farming activities, agricultural inputs and revenues. This is the current and future strategic task to be coped by the state. Given that a model ensuring the optimization and sustainable development of agricultural production based on the conservation of the industrial-resource potential and its implementation mechanism in the form of economic-organizational recommendations has not been worked out in Georgia, it is evident that studies in the matter are rather urgent and of great practical significance.

The entrepreneurial risk management should be carried out on a stage-by-stage basis.  The following stages are of importance: risk analysis, risk control, risk management, and risk financing; The entire spectrum of risk (individual and social) importance is divided, according to the so-called “traffic light” principle, into three areas: the unacceptable risk area – “red” area; the acceptable risk area – “yellow” area; and the ignorable risk area – “green” area. Based on the conducted research and generalization of the data on farms, it may be concluded that the risk management mechanism in Georgian farms should be of a clear-cut hierarchic character in order to reduce the negative risk impact and where necessary to adjust it as a result of the implementation of the set activities.

Enterprise management costs should be covered from own income, while the enterprise development is to be carried out based on shareholder contributions and own funds. Specialized repair shops and plants can be assigned the status of an independent enterprise. Under conditions of a market economy, a special attention should be paid to the free choice of material and technical means on the part of consumers. Therefore, the authors of the article believe that, together with centralized agricultural supply, a network of intermediary supplying cooperatives should be established. Also of importance today is the effective utilization of machine and tractor fleets, their optimization and regional and differential completing of their stock. State complex programs should be worked out to handle all the above problems.

One of the main tasks of the game theory is the determination of conflict situations and the type and degree of a conflict for the purpose of its further regulation and control. Based on this theory, one can investigate the decision-making process under conditions of interaction of the interests of the conflicting parties. The game theory is the most complex and promising applied science for studying the decision-making process and analyzing the economic behavior. The game theory has brought to the forefront new approaches, implying that the decision-making is directly connected the risk taking and management. It should be clearly stated that any decision should be made only on the basis of determination of the risk (economic risk) reasonability and profitability levels. Otherwise the decision-making will be unjustified and unprofitable.

In managing risk in the agrarian sector, the subject can apply different tools. Depending on the application purposes and conditions, the following the three main groups of such tools can be distinguished: managerial decisions; private sector service/instruments; and state programs. These instruments can be used separately as well as in combination. To reduce risks in the management of agricultural enterprises, it is necessary that a correct, managerial decision is taken on the basis of the following factors: cost-benefit analysis, risk assessment, production marketing strategies (specialization, diversification, integration, stock management, making production and marketing contracts, development of the infrastructure, product quality/safety management, observing legal norms, etc.) It is underlined that the main instrument in the risk management and distribution is the ensuring by the state of an adequate degree of competition in any link of the “production, processing, distribution and consumption” chain.

The optimal and sustainable management of agriculture development processes requires that the agricultural production, the functionally associated with it food processing industry, the market demands, and export-imports issues be considered in the aggregate. The problem may be set as follows: the optimal reconstruction of the national agricultural production, coordination and specialization of its branches with account for the outlet markets and export-import volume, the population’s demands for safe farm produce and securing maximum revenues. The economic-mathematical model includes the criterion function and restrictions. The restrictions reflect the current economic conditions and possibilities in agriculture, while the maximum, profit, maximum output, maximum commodities, minimum expenses, etc. can be taken as the criterion.

A mar­ket is a polysemantic concept comprising in addition to its economic content also the political, social and ethical issues. In other words, market is a method of society’s economic interrelations, whose main components include the individual’s rights, obligations and freedoms. The transport service market consists of three main elements: free production, free demand, and free service price-forming on the transport market. Disregard of any of these elements will mean the absence of a real transport market. It should be mentioned that the principal driving force of a civilized transport service market is competition among haulers (transport service companies) that prevails in two forms: price competition; and new technology competition. In order to be competitive, transport service companies should have a well-organized marketing service.

Regular and careless application of excessive rates of ammonium nitrate as a fertilizer can misbalance nutrient substances and their circulation in the nature, increase the content of nitrates in food products which, in turn, will lead to the deterioration of health and many complications. The work analyzes the effect of growing rates of ammonium nitrate on the content of nitrates in corn growing on Ajameti podzol soils, during the three phases of its ripeness - milky, wax and complete ripeness. In Georgia, the upper permissible level of nitrates in maize flour is 50 mg/kg. The conducted experiments proved that the application on increased rates of ammonium nitrate contributes to the accumulation of nitrates in corn in excess of the admissible level. Only the application of P12OKON60 and P12OK60N9O rates ensures the admissible content of nitrates in the corn.
