MATHEMATICAL MODELING AND HYSTERESIS OF SORPTION ISOTHERMS FOR PADDY RICE GRAINS [PDF]
Knowledge on sorption isotherms is important for predicting drying and storage processes of a product. A sorption isotherm can be generated from two processes: desorption and adsorption. The lag between these two curves is called hysteresis.

Relating hygroscopicity and composition of organic aerosol particulate matter [PDF]
A hygroscopicity tandem differential mobility analyzer (HTDMA) was used to measure the water uptake (hygroscopicity) of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed during the chemical and photochemical oxidation of several organic precursors in a smog chamber.
