Nevertheless, self-sensors had the capacity of detecting and locating damage with high sensitivity by means of abrupt increases in electrical resistance induced by breakage.
The abrupt response to the electrical stimulus is evidence of the stiffness inherent in the equations, which must be carefully accounted for numerically.
Temperature dependencies of the electrical parameters show abrupt jumps associated with the α↔β-LMO phase transition, which is also detected by X-ray powdiffractiontion and differential scanning calorimetry analyses.
If you have heard Zach Hill, one of the most exciting drummers in the world, you will know how he sounds: like a highly syncopated electrical storm, with rude, abrupt improvisations.
ABB, the electrical engineering company, announced the abrupt departure of its chief executive, Fred Kindle, because of "irreconcilable differences" after he helped the company recover from near bankruptcy.
(A square wave is how an electrical engineer thinks of an abrupt transition).
The corresponding transitions can be monitored via changes in electrical conductivity; they are rather reproducible and abrupt, and are therefore used for calibration of high-pressure equipment.
In a paralyzed animal after vagotomy, unilateral electrical stimulation at the dorsolateral pons elicited abrupt inhibition of phrenic discharge (but to a much lesser extent than when vagi were intact) and significant prolongation of expiratory duration, both effects adapting gradually as the stimulation continued (Fig. 3c) as reported previously in vagotomized animals [42].
A high density of electrical current has been used to induce the abrupt release of a sulfide compound from the interior of electron-beam-welded turbostratic carbon nanotubes.
This pattern of ionic disturbance, monitored by an abrupt rise in extracellular potassium ([K+]o) and depression of electrical activity, shares many characteristics of cortical spreading depression (CSD [3]).
