SECOND INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP

"Nucleation and Non-Linear Problems in First-Order Phase Transitions" (NPT'2002)

1 July - 5 July 2002
St.-Petersburg (Russia)

FINAL PROGRAM

Scope of the Workshop

The Second International Workshop is concentrated on the new investigations of the first-order phase transitions and nonlinear phenomena in physics, chemistry and mechanics. The discussed fundamental topics of the Workshop will be of interest for specialists working in these fields as well as for young scientists and students. The tolerance of discussions on the topics below is not constrained.
