We study the equilibrium and stability of metastable states and capillary condensation hysteresis of a Lennard-Jones fluid in cylindrical pores by means of the canonical ensemble density functional theory and gauge cell Monte Carlo simulations. We demonstrate a possibility for the existence of multiple laterally uniform internal states of equal density inside the hysteresis loop. The region of ...

A simple emulator of memristive system, containing only passive electronic components, namely resistors, capacitor, and no-DC biased transistor is described. Unlike other hitherto published emulators it does not exploit DC power supply. Moreover, it provides effective emulation of grounded as well as floating memristive systems. The circuit idea enables interesting experiments, demonstrating th...

High quality heating device made of ferromagnetic alloy (thermal seed) was developed for hyperthermia treatment of cancer. Ferromagnetic seeds of PdNi, PdCo and CuNi are prepared by induction furnace and subsequent heat treatment. Magnetic induction and hysteresis loops are measured as functions of temperature. The power dissipated from each seed was calculated from the area enclosed by the hys...

We calculate, numerically, the residence times (and their distribution) of a Brownian particle in a two-well system under the action of a periodic, saw-tooth type, external field. We define hysteresis in the system. The hysteresis loop area is shown to be a good measure of synchronization of passages from one well to the other. We establish connection between this stochastic synchronization and...

The simulation of the wave propagation caused by seismic stimulation allows us to study the behaviour of the environment and to evaluate the consequences. The model involves the wave equation which includes an hysteresis loop in the stress-strain relationship. This induces nonlinearities and, at the vertices of the loop, non-differentiable mathematic operators. We propose a numerical process wh...

Hysteresis loops are phenomena that sometimes are encountered in the analysis of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic relationships spanning from pre-clinical to clinical studies. When hysteresis occurs it provides insight into the complexity of drug action and disposition that can be encountered. Hysteresis loops suggest that the relationship between drug concentration and the effect being meas...
