A hysteresis model is developed on the basis of a physical description of domain wall motion in magnetic materials. The mean behavior of a domain wall under the action of an external field is described by a simplified Preisach model. The superposition of several domain wall contributions to the average magnetization i…

Pseudomonas sp. 61-3 is able to produce a blend of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] homopolymer and a random copolymer [P(3HB-co-3HA)] consisting of 3-hydroxyalkanoate units of 4–12 carbon atoms. In a cell accumulating polyhydroxyalkanoates upon glucose or alkanoic acids, both needle-type and mushroom-type structures…

An approximate theoretical analysis of the tension increase for nonflexible fibers and yams passing around a peg is presented, yielding a convenient, improved capstan equation. The formulas include the influence of fiber and yarn bending behavior on the tension increase, and they correct the capstan equation for outgo…

FePd L1/sub 0/ ferromagnets with ultra-fine microstructures (submicron/nanoscale) have been studied. The powders and thin films with nanoscale microstructure were produced using high energy ball milling and vacuum sputtering, respectively. These ultra-fine grained materials were characterized using TEM, SEM, and X-ray…

In most glass-forming materials external perturbations are relaxed in a non-exponential fashion. It is shown that the degree of non-exponentiality is phenomenologically correlated with the departure from simple thermally activated behavior as measured by the fragility index m. In model glass formers such as the Ge-As-…

We have developed new bistable twisted nematic (BTN) displays that operate between the −π/2 and 3π/2 twist states and between the π/2 and 5π/2 twist states. Together with the (0,2π) BTN, this forms a set of all possible transmittive BTNs. Experimentally, it was confirmed that several switching wave forms could be used…

Cholesteric liquid crystal polysiloxane oligomers can be prepared in the Grandjean texture and fractured into smaller pieces called flakes. These flakes function as discrete domains whose degree of orientation can be evaluated by means of Fergason's Equation and turbidity. Further, these flakes can be embedded in a ca…

It is shown that globular proteins display a universal average structure factor accounting for their common aminoacid base. This property, linked to the construction of a random elastic network to study the low-frequency dynamics, leads to striking similarities between the physics of globular proteins and that of glas…

A crack induces a local inhomogeneity in the magnetic flux path in a material and any change in crack area results in change in the distribution of magnetic flux. From the results of measurements on A533B steel and Cr-Mo steels, not only were the magnetic properties found to change with crack area, but also a linear r…
