Hysteresis
Definition:
(n.) A lagging or retardation of the effect, when the forces acting upon a body are changed, as if from velocity or internal friction; a temporary resistance to change from a condition previously induced, observed in magnetism, thermoelectricity, etc., on reversal of polarity.
Example Sentences:
(1) That the opposite was observed in our study indicates that the increase in Pst(L), which results from parenchymal hysteresis, offsets any dimensional decrease in upstream airways due to airways hysteresis.
(2) The sensor's hysteresis is about 8 percent at 40 degrees Celsius (C) and 12 percent at 20 degrees C. The sensor has a maximal nonlinearity of 8 percent and a worst-case nonrepeatibility of 7 percent.
