✦ Synopsis

Kinetic effects in two plasma-like systems, similar due to the presence of high charged mesoscopic particles, are investigated. Longitudinal and transverse waves in colloidal crystals are considered and compared with the experiment . Anomalous heating of gaseous dusty plasmas is discussed on basis of kinetic equations derived earlier [2,3] and on basis of molecular dynamic computer simulations . The influence of the changing mass of the dust particles is considered on the form of the kinetic equations [5] and the dust effective temperatures, an effect not considered before.
