In addition to the fact that living organisms might be expanding and contracting in volume, scientists have already created polymer materials that undergo significant deformations under the influence of small electric signals. Therefore, just as nature could, man can create such a composite engine that, even in the conditions of small temperature gradients, under the action of small disturbances (electric signals), will generate useful energy. The paper displays that the efficiency<br />of such converters is much higher than the efficiency of the Carnot heat engine and, contrary to Carnot theorem, depends on the physical properties of the material. The expression of the efficiency is proposed for such a type of low-temperature composite generator, which is a physical model of mechanical energy generation in living organisms. Consequently, it is shown that Carnot's theorem does not have a universal character. By creating and testing new synthetic materials, it is possible to create a completely new type of heat engines with much higher efficiency. Regardless of how effective they prove to be in practical applications, research in this direction is highly relevant, as this direction destroys the theoretical bases of thermodynamics and existing energy industry, as well as proves that humankind is capable of creating machines that efficiently generate energy from the surrounding equilibrium space, with zero or negligible temperature differences.</p> Amiran Aptsiauri Copyright (c) 2023 2023-11-30 2023-11-30 9 23 28 The Influence of Launch of Transport Space Systems On The Earth's Atmosphere https://mpe.openjournals.ge/index.php/mpe/article/view/7279 <p>The environmental problems in space exploration sphere as well as major factors of negative impact of Space-rocket operation on surrounding environment ore considered.</p> T.

Reichenbach and A. Grunbaum’s views, on issues related to space and time, such as the congruence of space and time, the problem of simultaneity; it is interest also to the authors argument about the relationship between time, order, and causality, Wich deepen the ideas that Einstein formulated as a physicist.<br>For example, Reichenbach thinks that there is no absolute direction of time, that is why the direction of time should be determined by the increase in entropy, however, either it has no absolute significance. The one – sidedness of time is essentially probabilistic. As for a. A. Greenbaum, he explores the problem of the direction of time through the reversible and irreversible processes in nature. In his view, the assertion of time is not entirely equivalent to fact that time flows in one direction.<br>Key words: congruence, interval, space, time, measurement, simultaneity, relativity, inequality, Euclidean, marking, probability.</p> Eteri Ormotsadze-Makharadze Manana Chiteishvili Copyright (c) 2023 2023-11-30 2023-11-30 9 40 44 Influence of Vacaum on Humans and Animals https://mpe.openjournals.ge/index.php/mpe/article/view/7282 <p>In this paper discussed the influence of vacuum on the humens and animals.

The influence of road traffic on the level of pollution of the city's atmosphere is evaluated. The concentrations of PM10 scattered in the atmosphere in the city and its surroundings are experimentally determined using a mobile device. Areas of maximum pollution have been identified. The diurnal picture of the spatial distribution of PM10 and the characteristics of its distribution during the westerly background wind were obtained by numerical modeling. By analyzing the wind speed and concentration fields, it is accepted that the spatial distribution of the ingredient areas is determined by the background wind speed and direction, the dynamic effects of the relief and the local circulation systems formed by the diurnal change of the subsurface temperature.</p> N.

In this regard, an important issue is the negative impact of vibrational stress on the body's sex hormones and their regulation. For this purpose, we studied the influence of the vibration disease model on the reproductive function of male rats and the correction of the detected disorders with liquid oxygen. Using the approach of immunoenzymatic microanalysis, we assessed gonadotropic (follicle-stimulating FSH and malutheinizing LH) hormones and sex steroids (testosterone T and estradiol E2) in the blood plasma. Research has shown that vibrational stress causes endocrine disorders in the secretion of sex hormones, and oxygen correction is effective in regulating these disorders.</p> Ts. Sumbadze I.

The construction of the railway passed through settlements and uninhabited impenetrable forested areas, swamps, wetlands, and coastal sand dunes. The construction of roads was accompanied by the clearing of territories, clearcutting, and the transportation of various construction materials. This contributed to the destruction of biotopes and the establishment of peculiar cenotic connections of local and foreign species in the area.<br>From 2015-2022, as a result of the floristic studies carried out on the 35-km section of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara of the Georgian Railway, a total of 217 species of plants were fixed, which represents 11 percent of the floristic region of Adjara. 62 of them are local and 155 are alien. The described species are united in 52 families and 148 genera. Flowering plants make up 98.6% of the described species and spore plants make up 1.4%.<br>Many of the alien species are adapted to local soil and climatic conditions, are characterized by highly competitive ability, propagated and spread in secondary cenoses and agrocenoses, and cause various problems.<br>The present study is the first attempt to carry out specific floristic studies on railways.

For the majority of Georgian geographers, landscape is one of the key objects of geographical research, although its essence, due to the multitude of different approaches, is often vague and incomprehensible. However, everyone agrees that the most important thing in landscape ecology is the assessment of its structure and functioning, dynamics and ethology, potential and sustainability, current state and other characteristics.<br>According to European scientists, landscape ecology is a multidisciplinary ecological science that examines the interrelationships between different components of the landscape and provides information on the dynamics of ecosystems, the distribution of species and their ecological functions. According to them, landscape ecology also refers to the structure, function and dynamics of ecosystems, studies the change of landscapes in space and time, the impact of human activities on it. Vegetation, water is considered as one of the components of landscape ecology, or this approach is fundamentally different from the basic, conceptual view of the Georgian landscape school.<br>The task of landscape ecology specialists is to practically define critical and high conservation value landscapes, landscape management and landscape service(s), landscape planning strategy and tactics.</p> Nodar Elizbarashvili Nino Chanturia Rusudan Elizbarashvili Lado Grigolia Lia Bubashvili Copyright (c) 2023 2023-11-30 2023-11-30 9 80 86 Study of Large Glacier Shkhara Degradation from Enguri River Glacial Basin Using Satellite Information https://mpe.openjournals.ge/index.php/mpe/article/view/7290 <p>The results of the large glacier Shkhara degradation located in the river Enguri glacial basin of West Georgia using high-resolution satellite remote sensing (SRS) are presented.

The klimat of Adjara is subtropical, according to the Zenker formula 77% marine and 23% continental.<br>The winter season in Adjara is different in coastal and inland mountainous regions. Although the calendar winter in the coastal regions of Adjara begins in December, signs of autumn remain in the coastal regions of Adjara in this month, due to the influence of the Black Sea. Winter here is mostly warm and short. In Western Georgia, winter is warmest in the regions of Gonio and Batumi, where the average temperature of the coldest month is above +5º. Due to the weakening of the influence of the sea, along with an increase in inland mountainous Adzharia, winters are usually longer, snowless and severe.<br>Against the backdrop of global warming, the severe (coldest) winter in Adjara (frosty and snowless) was repeatedly repeated in the 20th century, and low temperatures were recorded in coastal Adjara (minimum -12.80 in Batumi) and snowless (1.4 m in Batumi in 1985 year, in mountainous Adjara 6-meter snow). Their study is of great scientific and practical importance for the development of agriculture (citrus growing, tea growing).</p> Nazibrola Phagava Tsira Kamadadze Khatuna Chichileishvili Mia Ananidze Copyright (c) 2023 2023-11-30 2023-11-30 9 98 102 Recultivation of Alluvial Soil https://mpe.openjournals.ge/index.php/mpe/article/view/7295 <p>The research facility is located in In the western part of Kutaisi, on the right side of the river Oghaskura. The soil needs recultivation because it is saturated with construction waste. In 2014, planting works started in the territory, without studying the soil conditions. Most of the plants planted on the site did not grow and got withered. A deep study of the soils of the research object was conducted, we studied its physico-mechanical and chemical properties. We have planned the necessary measures to create suitable soil conditions for the plants to be grown on the site.</p> Roza Lortkipanidze Nino Kelenjeridze Copyright (c) 2023 2023-11-30 2023-11-30 9 102 105 Impact of the climate change on land resources of Imereti https://mpe.openjournals.ge/index.php/mpe/article/view/7296 <p>Soil is the most important natural resource that ensures the existence of diverse ecosystems on earth. Georgia is a unique country with soil diversity. Due to the current climate change and the increased temperature in the country and region, the frequency of abundant and extremely abundant (≥50 mm and ≥90 mm per day) precipitation has increased, both in the lowland and relatively high mountain areas. This created favorable conditions for soil erosion and degradation. The sensitivity of the land resource to water and wind erosion is determined by the total erosion index. For the current period, the average index for Georgia is 3.19, and for Imereti is 3.93.<br>In the process of adapting to climate change, the priority for Imereti in the short term is the reduction-stopping of land degradation and then the recovery-rehabilitation of the lost-eroded lands in the long-term perspective.<br>Against the background of current climate change, assessment of the adaptation and vulnerability of land resources is the most important task, on the basis of which other adaptive and preventive measures are planned to mitigate the negative impact of expected climate change on the resource.<br><br></p> Magdana Kvabziridze Nana Bliadze Shorena Tchitchinadze Copyright (c) 2023 2023-11-30 2023-11-30 9 105 110 Opportunities, challengies snd perspectives of circular green econony in Georgia https://mpe.openjournals.ge/index.php/mpe/article/view/7297 <p>Circular green economy is the most important factor for the sustainable and effective development of the country and the traditional economy in general, which we can safely consider as one of the determining factors of economic development, strategic protection of the environment, protection of the population and social security. The process of transformation of the traditional economy into a green circular economy, despite being a vital and critical necessity, has been a significant problem in all periods and is still facing great challenges today.<br>Out of all the countries of the world, according to the Global Green Economy Index (GGEI), Georgia currently ranks 44th among 130 countries in terms of green economy development, which in turn is a big successful step towards economic development in the direction of production of renewable and recyclable resources. But, like all important state reforms, the process of transformation of the traditional economy into a green circular economy requires a lot of effort and financial resources primarily from the state and is not immune to the accompanying problems and challenges at different stages of its development and regulation.<br>The paper analyzes the stages and challenges of establishing, developing, managing and regulating a universal green economy in Georgia.</p> Davis Chiotashvili Neli Goginashvili Nana Berdzenishvili Copyright (c) 2023 2023-11-30 2023-11-30 9 110 116 Determination of stability of creep-plastic type landslide by numerical-analytical methods https://mpe.openjournals.ge/index.php/mpe/article/view/7300 <p>An original numerical-analytical approach has been developed to calculate the stability of elastic-plastic type landslides using computer programs and stress analysis apparatus. The proposed natural-analytical method was used together with specialists from the Bavarian Engineering Geology Bureau and the construction company CRP to calculate the stability of the existing block and creep-plastic landslides within Tbilisi and to prepare their strengthening projects.</p> Levan Japaridze Nikoloz Chikhradze Tamaz Gobejishvili Copyright (c) 2023 2023-11-30 2023-11-30 9 116 122
