Abstract. The stimulated domain-acoustic echo (DAE), possessing the long-term acoustic memory, and magnetoacoustic responses were inductively excited in magnetite using  a pulsed NMR technique with recording inductivly the signals and studing their properties. The comparison of the DAE intensity and magnetization dependence on the outer magnetic field showed that the long-term memory of DAE is caused by the irreversible changes of magnetization in the monodomain grains of magnetite powder due to the magnetostriction  with the interaction of the acoustic wave generated by the first RF pulse with the magnetic field of the second RF pulse.

Keywords: stimulated domain-acoustic echo, long-term memory, magnetite powder, magnetoacoustic response,  pulsed NMR.

Abstract. The possibilities for changing the absorption spectra of the anatase modification of the photocatalytic TiO2 powder were studied with the aim to use more efficiently the energy of UV solar radiation for photocatalysis and to involve the visible light energy into this process for enhancing the efficiency of the photocatalytic reaction. It was found that the deposition of Ni-B clusters on the TiO2 powder by the unique technology developed by the authors increases significantly the absorption of energy in the UV region. It was also revealed that, after deposition of the Ni-B clusters on the TiO2 nanopowder, in the result of heat treatment in vacuum, the absorption spectra of the TiO2 nanopowder shifted to longer wavelength, and the absorption in the visible part of light increased. From the experiments carried out, it follows that the absorption in the visible part of light can be increased as well by selecting the sizes of nanopowder particles coated with Ni-B clusters. The investigations performed showed that it is possible to enhance significantly the visible light absorption and the efficiency of the catalytic reaction.

Keywords: photocatalisator, titanium dioxide, absorption spectrum, hydrogen production.

Abstract. The paper deals with the psychics as a dynamic process and the consciousness as a Gestalt unity. The principle of unity is a relative process in psychology like the theory of relativity is in physics. There is no fixation between the conscious, subconscious and unconscious expositions of information, but they complement each other and are transferred from one phenomenon into other in a normalized manner, like there is no fixed time or space. Our studies are based on multiple experiments. This means that the casual factors, which we cannot control, seem to filter gradually according to the law of so-called big numbers, and finally the relative frequencies (of the exposition of elements) can be determined. Processing the information in this manner, we can talk about not only the conscious portion of the information, but also the quantitatively exposed subconscious and unconscious psychic parameters.

Keywords: psychic phenomena, functional dependence, consciousness, subconsciousness.

Abstract: Comparative studies of relaxation processes and mechanical properties of the samples of ferritic steel P92 in different states were conducted using the temperature- and amplitude dependence of the internal friction and shear modulus. The  measurements of  Q-1(T,e)  and G~ƒ2(T,e) spectra were carried out in vacuum (10-4torr)  using a relaxometer with the reversed torsion pendulum, at frequencies 1-5Hz, amplitudes of deformation 10-5-10-3 and the rate of heating«cooling 2-5°C/min over the temperature range 25-750°C. The samples were taken in three different states: in as-received condition, after additional electric current tempering at 700°C under external mechanical tension, and after annealing at 950°C/20min.  The obtained results clearly demonstrate a considerable increase (more than ~40%) in strength characteristics at elevated temperatures (550¸700°C), achieved by the additional electric current tempering under mechanical tension.  

Keywords:  ferritic steel, internal friction, shear modulus, activation energy, relaxation processes, electric current tempering.

SUMMARY

GREENHOUSE GASES EMISSION REDUCTION POLICY AND THE MITIGATION MEASURES FOR IMPLEMENTATION

Arabidze G.O. and Pkhaladze I.E.

Georgian Technical University

The Greenhouse Gases (GHG) inventory conducted in the framework of the Third National Communication Plan revealed the Energy Sector (including the transport sub-sector) as a leading GHG emitter sector in Georgia. Therefore the main emphasis in planning the GHG emissions reduction activities was made on the Energy Sector. Markal-Georgia is an integrated energy system model of the national Markal model which was used for the Energy Sector analysis. The baseline scenario (BAU) was developed and analyzed using the Markal Georgia model. The 15, 20 and 25% GHG reduction strategies were elaborated against the BAU scenario. By 2030 an increase in energy consumption by 76.6%  is expected, which ultimately will result in the increase in CO2 emissions by 72.3%. The emissions will reach 11 179 th. tones. The expected increase in GHG emissions revealed the importance of development of a low emissions strategy. Calculations showed that the reduction of the emissions just by 15% by 2030 would result in the reduction of energy carrier import by 13% and more, which ultimately will strengthen the energy security of the country. In case of the 20% emission reduction, the import will be reduced by 18% and, in case of the 25% reduction, the import will be reduced by 23%. The development of the National Low Emissions Strategy should concentrate on the projects and processes like local capacity development, development of a local GHG inventory; adaptation issues, GHG reduction, training of specialists, intense PR company etc.

Keywords: greenhouse gases, emission, reduction, energy, stable development.

Abstract. Structural changes in polyphenylene oxide in the process of its thermal processing and friction were studied by mass-spectrometry. It is shown that, during thermal processing at 300oC, destructive-structuring processes proceed in the polymer. At the same time, the Fries rearrangement resulting in the brunching of macromolecules and formation of a gel fraction takes place. When studying the tribochemical processes with friction, it was revealed that the character of tribochemical processes in the polymer was determined by a complex structure of molded samples containing a brunched cross-linked polymer and a low-molecular fraction. The complex structure was formed at the interface of rubbing surfaces as a result of friction.

Keywords: polyphenylene oxide, Fries rearrangement, tribodestruction, coefficient of friction.

Jakob Gogebashvili Telavi State University

Stable  supply of  safe food is one of important governmental objectives  which the health of the nation depends on. Hence in this work we  aimed to analyze the quality of Chacha vodka sold on the  agricultural  market by farmers. Chacha vodka is distilled from grain pomace. Based on the results of the analysis we worked out some recommendations on the technology of Chacha vodka:

1.   Chaha should  be distilled immediately after removal from wine. During  the distillation, the first and the last distilled Chacha should be removed,  and the middle distilled Chacha should be kept  in barrels.

2.   The alcoholic fermentation of sweet Chacha obtained in the result of  processing of white grapes should proceed at 15-18 0C

3.   In order to avoid undersired amount of ethyl acetate in Chacha vodka,  we must protect it against acetic acid bacteria and guarantee that the process will proceed under normal conditions.

Keywords: Chacha, vodka, pectin substances, raw alcohol,  formaldehyde, deinactivation.
