The book covers a variety of questions related to orientational mobility of polar and nonpolar molecules in condensed phases, including orientational states and phase transitions in low-dimensional lattice systems and the theory of molecular vibrations interacting both with each other and with a solid-state heat bath. Special attention is given to simple models which permit analytical solutions and provide a qualitative insight into physical phenomena. 

The inclusion of both three and four-particle correlations in nuclear matter allows not only to describe the abundances oft, h, a but also their influence on the equation of state and phase transitions. In contrast to the mean-field treatment of the superfluid phase, also higher-order correlations will arise in the quantum condensate. 

Figure 8.5 Schematic diagram of state and phase transitions ofstarch note the effect of moisture content and time on the various states. Tg1 Tg2 and Tg3 represent the glass transition at different moisture content levels. A-L and V-structures denote short- and long-range order of amylose-lipid complexes, whereas d.h. order corresponds to short-range B-type structures.

The following sections focus on the description of the state and phase transition behavior of starch systems, as schematically illustrated in Figure 8.5, with an emphasis on their molecular organization and their response to various environments (temperature, solvent, other co-solutes, etc.). Selected material properties are also discussed in an effort to demonstrate structure-function relationships of this biopolymer mixture in pure systems and in real food products.

Now she is the editor of the annual volume Metastable States and phase Transitions / possibly, the only edition devoted exclusively to the phenomenon of metastability. Finally, G.V. Ermakov (1938), the coauthor of the report Investigation of the attainable superheat of liquids in a wide region of pressure at that Conference, has developed the method of a rising droplet to study the nucleation kinetics under pressure and a number of methods to determine the thermodynamic properties of liquids in superheated states. To my opinion, his attitude to science in a broad sense corresponds to the spirit of Heike Kamerlingh Onnes . ...
