A palimpsest is a manuscript page from which the text has been scraped or washed off and which can be used again. The first layer of the parchment as well as the second one are lisible, making it possible to access older sources of biblical texts.

According to conclusions of Georgian geographers, the state border of Georgia is depicted differently on topographic maps issued during various years of the 20th century. There is no indication of the scale that was used for the map showing official border data. The location of some geographical sites indicated in some scientific studies and on small-scale maps (including schools) also triggers uncertainty.

Added to Georgia’s land mass, the total area of the country is thus 76,324,000 km2. It is extremely important to establish GIS and a uniform database on Georgian state bor- ders that enables large amounts of materials to be processed and viewed. Presently, there are very few scientific references where the solution of this issue is based on the principle of cadastral geographic information cartography, i.e. the principle through which it is possible to create a system of control and response to space-temporal changes. Moreover, it is important that such a system reflect border contours at specific times in history. Border delimitation-demarcation is a long process, and one which should be carried out on the basis of full agreements between bordering states. This issue, so crucial for each

Applications

Over the past years nanotechnology has been established as one of the most dynamically developing interdisciplinary sciences. Potential applications for nanomaterials in medicine and pharmacology are many and this has become a priority direction that will lead to solutions for some of the most painful health problems. However, modern nanotechnologies necessitate the creation of new directions of scientific research—uniting the scientific achievements of nanotechnology and biotechnology has led to the creation of a new discipline – nanobiotechnology. This will lead to nanoconstructions that can manage biosystems at a molecular level. Nanofluids consisting of magnetic nanoparticles are of special interest.

Glaciers are a unique part of the earth’s geographical sphere, where atmospheric precipitation accumulates and turns into solid ice. They are the greatest reservoir of fresh water on the planet and according to geographers they are Georgia’s most important natural resource. Today the attention of the whole world has turned to glaciers, and long-term complex studies are being carried out. According to TSU researchers the history of glacier study in the Caucasus started in the 1930s and has continued at the Vakhushti Bagrationi Institute of Geography. Today this institute is still the only scientific institution in the South Caucasus that studies Caucasus glaciers. For the last ten years the Institute has conducted a study entitled “Glacial geomorphology research of Caucasian glaciers against the background of modern climate change and glacial evolution in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene”, involving various projects. The research significantly intensified after the TSU geographers received an international grant-- “Dynamics of Glaciers in the Caucasus, Climate Changeability and Streamflow Modeling” (INTAS), England (2007-2009). The researchers continued their study in 2009 to 2011 with a grant from the Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation, entitled “Monitoring Mass Balance of the Zopkhito Glacier against the Background of Climate Change”. From 2012-2013 research continued with a Presidential grant from the Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation obtained by Levan Tielidze, Research Fellow at the Vakhushti Bagrationi Institute. The new project is entitled “Study of the Glaciers of the Tergi River Basin against the Background of Modern Climate Change: Paleo-Glaciological and Paleo-Geomorphological Reconstructions of the Late Pleistocene and Holocene”. Glacial geomorphology research studies glacier basins, the number of glaciers within the basins, dimensions, expositions, morphological types and studies of all geomorphological processes in the basin.

In December 2012, at the initiative of the Ministry of Corrections and Legal Assistance of Georgia, the LEPL Penitentiary and Probation Training Centre (PPTC) and the Faculty of Law of Tbilisi State University, a non-profit legal entity called the Prison Study Centre was established. It unites scientists and practitioners working in the fields of penitentiaries and probation.
