Absbact.~ We examine an Ising spin system io which both spins and the interactions between them may evolve in time, although on d i s p t e timesales, such thaf the couplings change adiabatically. In thermal &yilibrium we find B novel application of the replica method. but for finite replica number. representing the ratio of the temperatures of the spm and interaction systems. Regimes where the...

Introduction Several procedures have been described for sampling stack gas of waste incineration f a c i l i t i e s for FCDDS/PCDFS* There have been discussions on whether comparable r e su l t s a r e obtained by d i f f e rent sampling methods and on how accurately t h e measured values correspond t o t h e actual PCDD/PCDF-concentrations i n t h e stack gas .
