    Based on the expression of the apparent heat capacity with the contribution of transition kinetics, the applicability of temperature modulated DSC (TMDSC) has been discussed. In order to examine the kinetic response in the apparent heat capacity, the details of the frequency dependence has been examined. On crystallization, the kinetic response appears only in the imaginary part, and the temperature dependence of linear growth rate is obtainable from TMDSC data alone. In the melting region, the apparent heat capacity shows strong frequency dispersion. From the heating rate dependence of the characteristic time, one can evaluate the superheating dependence of melting rate. TMDSC can also differentiate re-crystallization and re-organization from melting since the temperature dependence of those processes is expected to be weak enough compared to melting.

    A homogeneous-nucleation-based (HNB) crystallization, which has been discovered at the low temperatures of glass transition temperature region in fragile liquids showing non-Arrhenius properties in the temperature dependence of structural relaxation times, is explained with summarizing classical theories for homogeneous nucleation and crystal growth. The mechanism of HNB crystallization is elucidated, which makes a microscopic homogeneous crystal nucleation process observable macroscopically as the crystallization, and the structural relaxation process of liquids which governs the homogeneous nucleation rates is discussed based on the magnitude and the temperature dependence of HNB crystallization rates.

    The ITS-90 survived for about 10 years without any fetal defects, except a few trivial ones, such as the data in the conversion table from ITPS-68 to ITS-90 in the range from 660°C to 962°C. In this article is explained the present status towards the revision of the ITS-90, including differences between the ITS-90 and thermodynamic temperatures measured by filter radiation thermometers and acoustic thermometers, non-uniqueness of high temperature platinum thermometers, and a new provisional scale below 1K.
