An attempt to define a general, theoretical framework for the investigation of relationships between structure and function in biological systems was made ten years ago (Baianu and Marinescu, 1968;Comorosan and Baianu, 1969). It was then proposed that as a consequence of relational principles, biolo

Taking states of a binary alloy as defined by the number of sites o.f the sublattices occupied by oue kind of atom, the temperature conditions of stability for such states are established. It is shown that as far as the approximation goes in general no state can be stable where three or more sublatt
The sixth-order Landau-Ginzburg Hamiltonian with random temperature and the locally ordered regions (LOR) are studied to investigate the effect of disorder on the first-order (discontinuous) phase transition. The disordered system is modelled as a lattice, on which each cell has a local reduced temp
