Synopsis "coherent excitations in biological systems"
The articles in this volume are based on papers presented at the International Symposium in Bad Neuenahr November 29 - December 1, 1982. The meeting was directed by H. Frohlich and was sponsored by IBM Deutschland through its Science and Education Programs Department. Contents Coherence in Biology H. Frohlich . Coherent Excitations and Raman Effect F.
