The Advances in Chemical Physics series provides the chemical physics field with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. This volume explores the following topics:
* Thermodynamic Perturbation Theory for Associating Molecules
* Path Integrals and Effective Potentials in the Study of Monatomic Fluids at Equilibrium
* Sponteneous Symmetry Breaking in Matter Induced by Degeneracies and Pseudogeneracies
* Mean-Field Electrostatics Beyond the Point-Charge Description
* First Passage Processes in Cellular Biology
* Theoretical Modeling of Vibrational Spectra and Proton Tunneling in Hydroen-Bonded Systems
