Research Institute of New Chemical Technologies and Materials, Kazakh National University Al-Farabi, Almaty 005012, Kazakhstan2. Columbia University, 3000 Broadway, New York, NY, 10027, USAAbstract: The authors propose a new approach to the theory of spin-boson and spin-fermion topological model of consciousness. The authors will offer a common mechanism of spin-boson and spin-fermion topological model of consciousness.Key words: Spin-boson, spin-fermion, topology, model of consciousness, magnetic field.1. IntroductionRecently, much attention is removed study of theory of consciousness [1-5]. All processes in the human brain occur in the form of electromagnetic processes. Therefore, it was interesting to see consciousness in terms of spin-boson and spin-fermion topological model.The aim is to study the spin-boson and spin-fermion topological model of consciousness.The novelty of the work lies in the fact that the authors have proposed a new mechanism of spin-boson and spin-fermion topological model of work of consciousness.2. TheoryNeuronal membrane saturated carrier spin nuclei such as 1H, 13C and 31P [1, 2]. Neuronal membrane are the matrix of the brain electrical activity and play a vital role in the normal functions of the brain and conscious of their basic molecular components are phospholipids, proteins and cholesterol. Each phospholipid contains 1% 31P, 1.8% 13C and over 60% 1H lipid chain. Neuronal membrane proteins such as ion channels and receptors neural transmittersCorresponding author: Aibassov Yerkin, professor, research field: metal organic chemistry of uranium and thorium, As, Sb and Bi. also contain large clusters spin-containing nuclei. Therefore, they are firmly convinced that the nature of the spin quantum used in the construction of the conscious mind. They suggested within neurobiology that perturbation anesthetics oxygen nerve pathwaysin both membrane proteins and may play a general anesthesia. Each O2 comprises two unpaired valence electrons strongly paramagnetic and at the same time as the chemically reactive bi-radical. It is able to produce large pulsed magnetic field along its path of diffusing. Paramagnetic O2 are the only breed can be found in large quantities in the brain to the same enzyme producing nitric oxide (NO). O2 is one of the main components for energy production in the central nervous system.NO is unstable free radical with an unpaired electron and one recently discovered a small neural transmitter, well known in the chemistry of spin-field concentrated on the study of free radical-mediated chemical reactions in which very small magnetic energy conversion can change the non-equilibrium spin process. Thus, O2 and NO can serve as catalysts in a spin-consciousness associated with neuronal biochemical reactions such as the double paths reaction initiated by free radicals.3. Results and DiscussionThey present the following Postulates: (a)All Rights Reserved.Spin-Boson and Spin-Fermion Topological Model of Consciousness 56Consciousness is intrinsically connected to quantum spin; (b) The mind-pixels of the brain are comprised of the nuclear spins distributed in the neural membranes and proteins, the pixel-activating agents are comprised of biologically available paramagnetic species such as O2 and NO, and the neural memories are comprised of all possible entangled quantum states of the mind-pixels; (c) Action potential modulations of nuclear spin interactions input information to the mind pixels and spin chemistry is the output circuit to classical neural activities; and (d) Consciousness emerges from the collapses of those entangled quantum states which are able to survive decoherence, said collapses are contextual, irreversible and non-computable and the unity of consciousness is achieved through quantum entanglement of the mind-pixels.In Postulate (a), the relationships between quantum spin and consciousness are defined based on the fact that spin is the origin of quantum effects in both Bohm and Hestenes quantum formulism and a fundamental quantum process associated with the structure of space-time.In Postulate (b), they specify that the nuclear spins in both neural membranes and neural proteins serve as the mind-pixels and propose that biologically available paramagnetic species such as O2 and NO are the mind-pixel activating agents. The authors also propose that neural memories are comprised of all possible entangled quantum states of mind-pixels.In Postulate (c), they propose the input and output circuits for the mind-pixels. As shown in a separate paper, the strength and anisotropies of nuclear spin interactions through J-couplings and dipolar couplings are modulated by action potentials. Thus, the neural spike trains can directly input information into the mind-pixels made of neural membrane nuclear spins. Further, spin chemistry can serve as the bridge to the classical neural activity since biochemical reactions mediated by free radicals are very sensitive to small changes of magnetic energies.In Postulate (d), they propose how conscious experience emerges. Thus, they adopt a quantum state collapsing scheme from which conscious experience emerges as a set of collapses of the decoherence-resistant entangled quantum states. They further theorize that the unity of consciousness is achieved through quantum entanglements of these mind-pixels.3.1 Spin-Boson and Spin-Fermion Model of ConsciousnessBosons, unlike fermions obey Bose-Einstein, who admits to a single quantum state could be an unlimited number of identical particles. Systems of many bosons described symmetric with respect to permutations of the particle wave functions.Bosons differ from fermions, which obey Fermi-Dirac statistics. Two or more identical fermions cannot occupy the same quantum state (Pauli exclusion principle).Since bosons with the same energy can occupy the same place in space, bosons are often force carrier particles. Fermions are usually associated with matter. Fermions, unlike bosons, obey Fermi-Dirac statistics:in the same quantum state can be no more than one particle (Pauli exclusion principle).3.2 Topological Model of ConsciousnessIt is known that the topological phase transition Kosterlitz-Thouless-phase transition in a two-dimensional XY-model. This transition is from the bound pairs of vortex-antivortex at low temperatures ina state with vortices and unpaired antivortices at a certain critical temperature.XY-model—a two-dimensional vector spin model which has symmetry U (1). For this system is not expected to have a normal phase transition of the second order. This is because the system is waiting forthe ordered phase that is destroyed by transverse vibrations, i.e. the Goldstone modes (see. Goldstone boson) associated with the breach of the continuousAll Rights Reserved.Spin-Boson and Spin-Fermion Topological Model of Consciousness 57Fig. 1 Symmetric wavefunction for a (bosonic) 2-particle state in an infinite square well potential.All Rights Reserved.Fig. 2 Antisymmetric wavefunction for a (fermionic) 2-particle state in an infinite square well potential.Spin-Boson and Spin-Fermion Topological Model of Consciousness58(a) (b)Fig. 3 Schematic image of a vortex (a) and antivortex (b) in the example of a planar magnetic material (arrows-vectors of the spin magnetic moments).symmetry, which logarithmically diverge with increasing system size. This is a special case of Theorem Mermin- Wagner for spin systems.Fig. 3 shows a schematic image of a vortex (a) and antivortex (b) in the example of a planar magnetic material (arrows - vectors of the spin magnetic moments).Thus, the topology does not depend on the measurement of distances, it is so powerful. The same theorems are applicable to any complex symptom, regardless of its length or belonging to a particular species.4. ConclusionsIn conclusion, the authors have presented an alternative model of consciousness in which the unpaired electron spins are playing a central role as the mind pixels and unity of mind is achieved interweaving these mental pixels.The authors hypothesized that these entangled electron spin states can be formed by the action potential modulated exchange and dipolar interactions, plus O2 and NO drive activations and survive rapid decoherence by quantum Zeno effects or decoherence-free spaces. Further, the authors have assumed that the collective electron spin dynamics associated with these collapses can have effects through the spin on the classic chemistry of neural activity, thereby affecting the neural networks of the brain. Our proposals involve the expansion of the associative neural coding of memories dynamic structures of neuronal membranes and proteins. Therefore, in our electron spin based on the model of the neural substrates of consciousness consists of the following functions: (a) electronic spin networks embedded in neuronal membranes and proteins, which serve as “crazy” screen with unpaired electron spins as pixels, (b) the nerve membrane and the proteins themselves, which serve as templates for the mind and nervous screen memories; and (c) free O2 and NO, which serve as agents pixel activating.Thus, the novelty of our work is that we were the first to propose that the electromagnetic field and free radicals have a great influence on the mind.Thus, the authors have proposed a possible mechanism of the free radical O2 and N2O in the consciousness.References[1]Hu, H.

基于陶瓷纳米纤维的柔性压力传感器

视野VISION 创新 INNOVATION仿 生胶原蛋白支架可诱导肺组织原位再生●创新点肺组织结构非常复杂,一旦发生损伤就很难进行自我修复。

例如,肺泡毛细血管膜屏障被破坏后会引起肺部水肿、炎症以及纤维化等,这会进一步导致肺部微环境紊乱、再生困难。

因此,对于严重的急性肺损伤,原位修复是一个巨大的挑战。

目前,肺移植术是有效的治疗方法,但面临供体来源有限以及免疫排斥等风险,限制了其临床应用。

人工肺植入技术是一种新兴的替代策略,但如何在人工肺支架中重建肺组织再生的微环境仍是一个挑战。

利用再生医学技术促进肺组织再生是当前的研究热点。

最近,中国科学院遗传与发育生物学研究所戴建武研究员所带领的再生医学研究团队构建了一种智能的胶原蛋白支架,首次在仿生支架材料的指导下进行肺再生研究,并证实该支架能促进肺组织原位再生。

●方法和结果研究人员采用组织工程的策略来研究肺组织的再生。

首先,他们制备了一种与天然肺组织组成、表面结构、孔径、孔隙率和力学特性类似的三维多孔胶原蛋白支架,该仿生支架具备良好的生物相容性和生物降解性。

然后,他们又构建一个包含胶原蛋白结合结构域(CBD)和肝细胞生长因子(HGF)的融合蛋白,该融合蛋白可特异性结合三维胶原蛋白支架,并在体内外持续缓释能改善肺再生微环境的HGF。

基于此策略,研究人员开发出了高效的人工肺再生微环境系统。

最后,研究团队构建了大鼠右肺中叶部分切除模型,并将该仿生支架植入残留的肺组织边缘,发现该支架能够对损伤的肺组织进行有效的保护和修复。

研究结果显示,三维仿生胶原蛋白支架能够抑制炎症和纤维化,促进急性肺损伤后损伤区域的恢复、肺泡再生和血管生成。

仿生支架的多孔结构一方面起到分隔作用,另一方面为细胞的黏附提供有效支撑。

在移植早期,CBD-HGF 一方面可诱导宿主血管内皮细胞的迁移、增殖,从而促进微血管的形成;另一方面还可以促进内源性的肺泡前体细胞进入支架,形成类肺泡样结构,最终促进支架内功能性肺泡样结构的再生以及残肺总体形态和功能的恢复。

关于Biolin动态接触角

对于动态接触角,人们有多种状态定义:其一,对于让处于非平衡状态的液滴在固体表面上自由铺展,动态接触角又分为前进角和后退角,前进角是液体在未被润湿过的固体表面进行铺展润湿,后退角是液体在已被润湿过的固体表面进行铺展,测试前进后退角是针对于疏水材料,亲水材料测试无意义。

其二,液体在固体表面接触角随时间变化而变化的过程,也是动态接触角。

Introduction.–The problem of a two-level system (TLS)suffering from environmental decohering effects is ubiquitous to many physical and chemical situations [1–3].Standard examples involve electron and proton transfer reaction in condensed phases [4],defect tunneling in met-als [5]or tunneling systems in glasses [6,7].Recently,sev-eral realizations of TLSs have been experimentally demon-strated in superconducting [8]and semiconducting [9]de-vices as possible unit (quantum bit)for future quantum computers.In these solid state systems,decoherence is a major obstacle towards the realization of a usable quan-tum computer [10–12].Hence,a proper understanding of dissipation over a broad parameter regime is of outermost importance.
For a description of the dissipative dynamics the spin-boson model,in which the TLS is bilinearly coupled to a harmonic bath,is very frequently used.It reads [1–3]
ˆH (t )= 2ˆσz ˆX +ˆH B .(1)The basis states |R and |L are the localized eigenstates of the ”position”operator ˆσz ,∆describes the coupling between the two-states due to tunneling,and ε(t )is an ex-ternal control field.The Hamiltonian ˆH B = i ωi (ˆb †i ˆb i +1/2)represents a bath of bosons,and the collective vari-able ˆX = i c i (ˆb i +ˆb †i )/2describes the bath polarization.Despite the huge amounts of works on the subject [1–3],the existing schemes for a portrayal of the time-evolution of the TLS reduced density matrix mostly reduce to two main roads of approximation.On the one hand the so termed noninteracting-blip approximation (NIBA)[1,2],or equivalent projection operator techniques [13]based on an expansion to leading order in the tunneling ma-trix element ∆,has been proved to be successful in the regimes of high temperatures and/or strong friction.On the other hand the weak coupling and low-temperature regime,where NIBA fails for an asymmetric TLS,is typ-ically tackled within an expansion to lowest order in the TLS-bath coupling.In this latter case path-integral meth-ods [14,15]as well as the Bloch-Redfield formalism are used [16](the two methods have been demonstrated to yield the same dynamics for weak Ohmic damping [17]),or a Born approximation [18].To date,only numerical ab-initio calculations [12,19–21]can provide a description of the TLS dynamics smoothly interpolating between a weak and a strong coupling situation.In this work,we present an interpolating approximation scheme,enabling to describe the weak and strong coupling regimes in a unique scheme.We call it weakly-interacting blip approximation (WIBA),within which the dynamics of the population difference ˆσz t ≡P (t )is ˙P (t )=− t

implying localization of the TLS(P∞N=−1)at zero tem-perature even for infinitesimal asymmetries.In order to overcome the NIBA shortcomings,a weak-coupling ap-proximation(WCA)has been proposed in[2,14,15]with WCA kernels being linear inδs and nonperturbative in∆. Within the WCA,the TLS dynamics shows damped coher-ent oscillations with a renormalized energy splitting Ω,withΩ2=∆2eff[1−2Re u(iE/ )]+ε20,towards the equi-librium value
