Bender et al; time-transformation approach to "q"-deformed objects, A. Inomata; characterizing volume forms, P. Cartier et al; Vassiliev invariants and functional integration, L.H. Kauffman.

Abe et al; from Z operator to "SO(10)", neutrino oscillations, and Fermi-Dirac functions for quark parton distributions, F. Buccella. Part 3 Variational perturbation theory: note on the path-integral variational approach in many-body theory, J.T. Devreese. Part 4 Phase transitions and critical phenomena: nanosymptotic critical behaviour from field theory, C. Bagnuls and C. Bervillier; from superfluid 3He to triplet superconductor Sr2RuO4, K. Maki and H. Won. Part 5 Topological effects, strings and membranes: description of vorticity by Grassmann variables and an extension to supersymmetry, R.
