A necessary and sufficient condition is applied to determine the possibility of multiple positive steady states in a complex, active membrane transport model with a cycle, which is performed by pump proteins coupled to a source of metabolic energy. A set of rate constants and two corresponding steady states are computed. Hysteresis phenomena are observed. A signature of multiplicity is derived,...

Simulations are reported to investigate solid superheating and liquid supercooling of two-dimensional systems with a Yukawa interparticle potential. Motivated by experiments where a dusty plasma is heated and then cooled suddenly, we track particle motion using a simulation with Langevin dynamics. Hysteresis is observed when the temperature is varied rapidly in a heating and cooling cycle. As i...

Temperature has an influence on damping characteristics of the viscoelastic damping structure. The change of the damping characteristics of the structure under the cycle load is a dynamic and coupled process. The hyperelastic-viscoelastic model was used to describe nonlinear deformation and viscoelasticity simultaneously. The temperature distribution and change of the damping characteristics un...

Using nonintrusive imaging techniques we have directly observed the nanoscopic details of the magnetization configuration of epitaxial and polycrystalline mesoscopic ring structures with a ,15-nm resolution. We have found head to head domain walls with different spin structures depending on ring width. Further, we can classify the geometry dependent switching processes according to the number o...

We study the coupling between negative diffraction and direct dispersion in a nonlinear ring cavity containing slabs of Kerr nonlinear right-handed and left-handed materials. Within the mean field approximation, we show that a portion of the homogeneous response curve is affected by a three-dimensional modulational instability. We show numerically that the light distribution evolves through a s...

The phase transition between the intermediate and normal states in type-I superconducting films is investigated using magneto-optical imaging. Magnetic hysteresis with different transition fields for collapse and nucleation of superconducting domains is found. This is accompanied by topological hysteresis characterized by the collapse of circular domains and the appearance of lamellar domains. ...

Besides permitting an accurate determination of the ferromagnetic-to-paramagnetic phase transition temperature and the characteristic temperatures for the beginning and end of the growth of martensite (austenite) phase at the expense of austenite (martensite) phase while cooling (heating), the results of an extensive ac susceptibility, sound velocity and internal friction investigation of the t...

This paper discusses a few interpretative issues arising from trend-cycle decompositions with correlated components. We determine the conditions under which correlated components may originate from: underestimation of the cyclical component; a cycle in growth rates, rather than in the levels; the hysteresis phenomenon; permanenttransitory decompositions, where the permanent component has richer...

Memcapacitor is a two-port circuit element with a memory. When excited by AC current or voltage, it has a zero-crossing charge-voltage hysteresis curve. The memcapacitor hysteresis curve should be taught to engineering students or engineers, who want to work in this area. In this work, an easily-comprehensible explanation of hysteresis curve of flux-dependent memcapacitor is given using Taylor ...

Dynamic hysteresis modeling and its application in numerical field analysis are challenging tasks. This paper presents a measurement system to realize and to measure frequency-dependent behavior of ferromagnetic hysteresis. The well-known static Preisach model of hysteresis has been extended to simulate the dynamic behavior. The full paper will present the model in detail as well as its applica...
