Abstract

Our purpose is to provide a brief report on the recent developments and trends in the field and to illustrate their manysided usefulness in diverse topics by many examples, mainly from the literature of the past two years. More details can be found in the books of Steiner (1983), Bayley and Dale (1985) and Lakowicz (1983).
