Computed parameters from the textures of (S)-(-)-2-methylbutyl 4′-(4″-n-alkanoyloxybenzoyloxy) biphenyl-4-carboxylates (where ) as a function of temperature where the phase transitions are indicated. (a), (b) for first-order statistical parameters, (c), (d) for second-order statistical parameters, and (e) for Legendre moments.
