Bacillus anthracis causes the acute fatal disease anthrax, is a proven biological weapon, and is endemic in Georgia, where human and animal cases are reported annually. Here, we present whole-genome sequences of 10 historical B. anthracis strains from Georgia.

Three microphthalmous and presumably locally endemic species of Tychobythinus Ganglbauer, 1896, a pselaphine genus previously unknown from Georgia, are described illustrated: T. meskheticus spec. nov. (Southwest Georgia: Meskheti Range), eximius (Northwest Egrisi egrisicus Range). is particularly remarkable in that it subject to unique sexual dimorphism the antennae pronotum. Including new spec...

The population is estimated at between 4.1 and 5.4 million. The last census was undertaken in 1989 but due to difficulties in data collection, population movements and casualties related to the civil unrest, emigration and uncertainties about the population growth rate, the population estimates vary. This major variation means that caution must be used when interpreting other statistics using a...

During this Union provided Georgia with political framework for integration, both at institutional legislative levels. Georgia, on other hand, concluded process positively, which resulted Associatio...

In this paper we propose the use of design capability indices for use in robust design. These indices allow the design requirements to vary within a certain range. Design capability indices are based on process capability indices from statistical process control and provide an alternate approach to the use of Taguchi’s signal-to-noise ratio which is often used for robust design. Successful impl...
