In this book some review articles by former and present members of the Dritte are combined, indicating the broadness of the research interests which developed from this theme. Unfortunately, such collection of articles allows only for a limited access to the broad variety of different fields of interest that have been dealt with in the past. The reviews are, therefore, complemented by a short overview which, again, cannot show all aspects of successful work during the sixty years of existence of the institute. Also, a short outlook is given at the end of the book on future research objectives in complex systems and biophysics.
We would like to thank all colleagues who established by their activity to the reputation of the institute and who thus rendered this book possible. We thank the technicians who by their skilful constructions of new apparatus enabled many new and more precise methods of measurements, and we thank the tracer, photographer, andadministration secretaries for their continual support. We are particularly indebted to the authors who spent much time to contribute to this book.
