By Philip Van Loocke
This identify addresses the basic difficulties of recognition. It touches at the challenge of the relation among physics and realization. Quantum mechanical techniques to attention, and quantum holographical ways are thought of.

Articular Injury of the Wrist: FESSH 2014 Instructional Course Book
Hand and wrist accidents account for thousands of emergency room visits every year. even though the main common kind of articular wrist damage consists of the distal radius, there are numerous different fractures that require skillful intervention to procure greatest, long term functionality. This e-book makes a speciality of these advanced intra-articular wrist accidents that experience no longer been widely lined some time past, supplying an entire photograph in their scientific, radiographic and healing gains.

Stuart, Ricciardi, Umezawa, Takahashi, del Giudice, Vitiello and more recently Jibu, Yasue and Hagan). In one aspect of this approach, Jibu, Yasue, Hagan and others (Jibu et al. 1995) have proposed that water in the hollow microtubule core is ordered by microtubule dynamics leading to spontaneous symmetry breaking and generation of evanescent photons, “super-radiance” and “self-induced transparency” of photons in microtubule cores. Quantum coherent regions of 50 microns are predicted. Charged surfaces (cytoskeleton, membranes) also attract soluble ions of the opposite charge, leading to plasma-like layers (Debye layer) which can have quantum properties, and/or quantum isolation properties.
1997; Fischer et al. 1998; Kaech et al. 1999). Even in the “sol”, or liquid phase of cytoplasm, water within cells is not truly liquid and random. Water molecules form all kinds of transient forms (Linus Pauling termed them “clathrates”). Pioneering work by Clegg (1984) and others have shown that water within cells is to a large extent “ordered”, and plays the role of an active component rather than inert background solvent. Cytoskeleton including actin gel binds water, and neutron diffraction studies THE ‘ORCH OR’ MODEL 23 Figure 9.
But what are the relevant degrees of freedom and decoherence rates, and how are the decoherence rates calculated (see Hagan et al. 2000, 2001)? Tegmark gives two treatments of quantum proposals: (1) superpositions of neurons firing and not firing, (2) superpositions of the location of a soliton on a microtubule. He calculates decoherence times due to interaction with environmental ions as 10−20 sec for superpositions of neurons firing/not firing, and 10−13 seconds for superpositions of solitons on microtubules.
