This would be similar to, say, the inertia of an object between static friction versus kinetic friction, a metastable state, or the large latent heat energy required during a phase change.

Eleven different isotopes of bohrium have been reported with atomic masses 260 262, 264 267, 270 272, and 274, one of which, bohrium-262, has a known metastable state.
43.
Twelve different isotopes of seaborgium have been reported with atomic masses 258 267, 269, and 271, three of which, seaborgium-261, 263, and 265, have known metastable states.
44.
Even in the case of S the film does not dewet immediately if it is in a metastable state, e . g . if the temperature is below the glass transition temperature of the polymer.
45.
The ultimate reason the problem is manageable is that the probability of a metastable state persisting longer than a given time interval " t " is an exponentially declining function of " t ".
46.
Metastable states are often characterized by high nuclear spin, requiring a change in spin of several units or more with gamma decay, instead of a single unit transition that occurs in only 10 " 12 seconds.

}} One molecule of each protein associates noncovalently with the other on the viral membrane, and three of these units aggregate to form the gp120 / gp41 heterotrimer, which traps the gp41 in a conformationally metastable state.
48.
When the matrix is heated above its melting point, the dye reacts with the acid, shifts to its colored form, and the changed form is then conserved in a metastable state when the matrix solidifies back quickly enough.
49.
When they are in a configuration belonging to metastable states np ( n + 1 ) s, ( n = 5 for xenon ), rare gases possess properties of polarizability and elastic scattering similar to those of alkali metals.
50.
On a cosmological scale, every physical state of every thing is arguably a metastable state on the decay path to the end of everything when there will be no thermodynamic free energy to sustain processes such as computation and life.
