the ground state wave function is doubly degenerate 1). This result is suprising, partly, because it conflicts with the tacit or explicit assumption of the existing quantum mechanical theories, partly because the rigorous arguments of traditional thermodynamics do not lead to such quantum mechanical statements. The conclusion in question was reached from a new axiomatization of thermodynamics. A characteristic aspect of this approach is that the choice of axioms is flexible and allows to deal rigorously with questions of increasing incisiveness. In addition to the thermostatics of phase equilibrium, the theory is now developed on statistical hnes. 1) Phys Rev. April 15, 1958.

A model describing ac superconducting composite behaviour by taking account of the boiling transition of liquid helium, used as a refrigerant, is described. A comparison of the resultant volt~mpere characteristics with the experimental values proves the validity of the model.
