Article Abstract
We built a discrete model that simulates the ubiquitous competition between the free internal evolution of a two-level system and the decoherence induced by the interaction with its surrounding environment. It is aimed at being as universal as possible, so that no specific Hamiltonian is assumed. This leads to an analytic criterion, depending on the level of short time decoherence, allowing one to determine whether the system will freeze due to the Zeno effect. We checked this criterion on several classes of functions which correspond to different physical situations. In the most generic case, the free evolution wins over decoherence, thereby explaining why the universe is indeed not frozen. We finally make a quantitative comparison with the continuous model of Presilla, Onofrio and Tambini, based on a Lindblad's master equation, a find good agreement at least in the low coupling regime.

The development of thermochromic inks with engineered reversible or irreversible color transitions by a single ink formulation poses significant challenges. Herein, we address this challenge by engineering dual-mode thermochromic inks through a microencapsulated ternary system comprising 6'-(diethylamino)-1',3'-dimethylfluoran (DDF), bisphenol AF (BPAF), and 2-(4-benzoxyphenyl)ethyl decanoate (DPE). The reversible ink achieves a pronounced color difference (Δ* = 17.

The evolution of surgical replacement of the aortic arch has been shaped by advances in surgical techniques and ancillary technologies. From the early pioneering attempts in the 1950s by Ho Ju Lin, Cooley, and DeBakey, which preceded the advent of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the development of perfusion, cerebral protection, and surgical techniques, along with the evolution of prosthetic grafts, has progressively enabled surgeons to address these challenging conditions with greater confidence. Despite these remarkable advancements, aortic arch surgery still remains one of the most technically challenging procedures in cardiac surgery.

Analysis of the EPR of dilute transition-ion complexes and metalloproteins in random phases, such as frozen solutions, powders, glasses, and gels, requires a model for the spectral 'powder' shape. Such a model comprises a description of the line shape and the linewidth of individual molecules as well as a notion of their physical origin. Spectral features sharpen up with decreasing temperature until the limit of constant linewidth of inhomogeneous broadening.

Background: Dorsal pelvic ring fractures occur in younger patients due to high-energy trauma or in elderly patients due to osteoporosis as fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFP). To date, there is no consensus on the optimal stabilization technique to treat fragility fractures of the posterior pelvic ring. The purpose of this biomechanical in vitro study was to evaluate a novel angle-stable nail system with respect to its stabilising ability in comparison with established procedures.
