In comparison to many other fields of ultrastructural research in Cell Biology, the successful exploration of genes and gene activity with the electron microscope in higher organisms is a late conquest. Nucleic acid molecules of Prokaryotes could be successfully visualized already since the early sixties, thanks to the Kleinschmidt spreading technique - and much basic information was obtained concerning the shape, length, molecular weight of viral, mitochondrial and chloroplast nucleic acid. Later, additonal methods revealed denaturation profiles, distinction between single and double strandedness and the use of heteroduplexes-led to gene mapping of relatively simple systems carried out in close connection with other methods of molecular genetics.

Even though the general framework of statistical mechanics is ultimately targeted at the description of macroscopic systems, it is illustrative to apply it first to some simple systems: a harmonic oscillator, a rotor, and a spin in a magnetic field. These applications serve to illustrate how a key function associated with the Gibbs state, the so-called partition function, is calculated in practice, how the entropy function is obtained via a Legendre transformation, and how such systems behave in the limits of high and low temperatures. After discussing these simple systems, this chapter considers a first example where multiple constituents are assembled into a macroscopic system: a basic model of a paramagnetic salt. It also investigates the size of energy fluctuations and how—in the case of the paramagnet—these fluctuations scale with the number of constituents.

In this paper, we show that spectral functions relevant for commonly used models of the non-Debye relaxation are related to the Stieltjes functions supported on the positive semi-axis. Using only this property, it can be shown that the response and relaxation functions are non-negative. They are connected to each other and obey the time evolution provided by integral equations involving the memory function M(t), which is the Stieltjes function as well. This fact is also due to the Stieltjes character of the spectral function. Stochastic processes-based approach to the relaxation phenomena gives the possibility to identify the memory function M(t) with the Laplace (Lévy) exponent of some infinitely divisible stochastic processes and to introduce its partner memory k(t). Both memories are related by the Sonine equation and lead to equivalent evolution equations which may be freely interchanged in dependence of our knowledge on memories governing the process.

In this paper, some new three-dimensional chaotic systems are proposed. The special property of these autonomous systems is their identical eigenvalues. The systems are designed based on the general form of quadratic jerk systems with 10 terms, and some systems with stable equilibria. Using a systematic computer search, 12 simple chaotic systems with identical eigenvalues were found. We believe that systems with identical eigenvalues are described here for the first time. These simple systems are listed in this paper, and their dynamical properties are investigated.
