20. Stochastic fields created by high-amplitude nuclear motions manifest the rearrangement of molecular groups in a given environment. Therefore, such fields can be characterized by mean lifetimes τj (or mean escape frequencies νj=τj-1) of molecular groups related to the mean times they spent in certain sites j 18.

25. To derive a Born approximation from a general form of the stochastic master equation one has to be sure that V is in fact a small perturbation. To find a perturbation V in a concrete physical system, the given system has to be divided in such a manner that a chosen quantum system and a heat bath become well separated from one another, i.e., a mixture between ce:degrees of freedom of the system and the bath caused by an interaction V has to be rather weak.
