5. The surfaces of highly dispersed solids may display many pathological behaviours. To avoid confusion when using terms like smooth, flat, rough, etc., we shall systematically use the following definitions: according to its fractal dimension D a surface is classified either as smooth when D = 2 or as fractal when 2

49. 0 implies that adsorption and complete reconstruction are a unique process - that is inconsistent with a description in terms of piles.
50. Actually, Eq. (18) implies we move in the frame of the Anderson description. Mutatis mutandis (i.e. substituting entropy for enthalpy), the forthcoming considerations can, however, be extended to the Brunauer-Skalny-Bodor description.
