It is suggested that the precursor of melting in some crystals can be a macroscopic shear deformation such as the transverse sound wave. This hypothesis is examined basing on the quasi-harmonic approach to lattice dynamics within the two-body ion-ion concept of interaction in metals. One finds that due to the temperature induced modification of effective ion-ion interaction appearing in the quasi-harmonic approximation the crystal ceases to support propagation of transverse sound waves when its temperature approaches a certain critical temperature T_{cr}, understood here to be the melting temperature T_{m}.

For the Kittel-Shore-Kac interspin coupling K/N between N Ising spins the ferromagnetic phase transition in specific heat vs. T plot has appeared in literature as a purely mathematical phenomenon, via the exact calculation of the sum of states Z(T) and subsequent differentiations with respect to temperature T. Physical nature of the transition remains in such derivation invisible. As it is expected to be related to the interaction/temperature competition in populating energy levels of the system, in this paper we construct the density of energy states D(E) (or energy spectrum) of such systems, both for the ferromagnetic (K>0) and antiferromagnetic (K<0) coupling between spins. This allows one to see the essence of the difference between these systems as related to the discrete vs. quasi-continuous shape of the spectra at low energy states.

Vertical migration of water in several porous materials has been directly observed and recorded with the recently installed neutron and gamma radiography facility at the MARIA reactor of Institute of Atomic Energy, Świerk. The density profiles of water in samples were obtained from the optical density of digitised images. A simple model (representing the porous material as the collection of capillary tubes of various radii) has been introduced to describe the liquid transport in porous materials in terms of capillary motion. The equation for viscous movement of water in porous material in presence of the gravitation is proposed. A good agreement of the calculated density profiles for vertical water migration with the data collected for siliceous bricks suggests that the thinnest capillary tubes determine the upper edge of the water density profile.
