Ferromagnetic Hysteresis

This work presents our study results of the magnetization of multilayer UV-reduced graphene oxide (UV-rGO), polymer matrix (polystyrene), and a conjugated composite based on them. The mesoscopic structure of the composites synthesized in this work was studied by such methods as X-ray diffraction, SEM, as well as NMR-, IR- and Raman spectroscopy. The magnetization of the composites under investigation and their components was measured using a vibrating-sample magnetometer. It has been shown that the UV-reduction process leads to the formation of many submicron holes distributed inside rGO flakes, which can create edge defects, causing possibly magnetic order in the graphite samples under investigation on the mesoscopic level. This article provides an alternative explanation for the ferromagnetic hysteresis loop in UV-rGO on the base of superconductivity type-II.

Cells and organisms follow aligned structures in their environment, a process that can generate persistent migration paths. Kinetic transport equations are a popular modelling tool for describing biological movements at the mesoscopic level, yet their formulations usually assume a constant turning rate. Here we relax this simplification, extending to include a turning rate that varies according to the anisotropy of a heterogeneous environment. We extend known methods of parabolic and hyperbolic scaling and apply the results to cell movement on micropatterned domains. We show that inclusion of orientation dependence in the turning rate can lead to persistence of motion in an otherwise fully symmetric environment and generate enhanced diffusion in structured domains.

Stochastic Properties

The stochastic properties and discreteness of macroscopic property for concrete appear on mechanical property and fracture surface. In consideration of stochastik and discreteness of fracture surface, a class of mesoscopic damage mechanics model of concrete based on spring model, are put forward to understand the real damage evolution characteristics of concrete at the level of constitutional law. A kind of spring-slipper model is introduced to reflect the elastic-plastic damage behavior. It has been confirmed that fracture surface of concrete has self-affine fractal characteristic only on a certain spatial scale, but the actual fracture surface of concrete is a stochastic surface with multi-fractal characteristics. Uniaxial test was operated, combined with the Computerized Tomography test of concrete, to study the evolution of crack surface from mesoscopic level to macroscopic level. Compared with the existing damage constitutive law and experimental results preliminarily, the feasibility of fractal damage constitutive law is verified.

A simulation of the dynamic perception of the Necker cube in terms of a two level quantum system – e.g. a qubit realized by a Josephson junction or by an electron of spin ½ controlled by magnetic fields – indicates that the neuro-physiological transformation leading, through a symmetry reduction, to perceptual reversal is controlled by the principles of quantum mechanics. A value of the order of 0,32 mJ.s is estimated for the elementary neuro-physiological action simulating the Planck constant at a mesoscopic level. In this interdisciplinary study key concepts are utilized: symmetry, symmetry reduction, self-organization, superposition principle and ambiguity.
