Using a powerful combination of Coleman’s instanton technique and the method of Banks and Bender, the exponential factor for the zero temperature tunneling rate out of metastable vacuum in the system of two identical capacitively coupled phase qubits is calculated in closed form to second order in asymmetry parameter for a special case of intermediate coupling C = CJ/2.

Introduction: Bender Gestalt test is one of the most famous neuropsychological tests that is simple and it can be used to examine brain injuries. The objective of this research was to investigate the validity, diagnostic strength and the replicability of the Bender VisualMotor Gestalt Test in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods: 240 participants were tested in a case-control stu...

In 1944 one of us described a n-amino acid oxidase in extracts of Neurospora crassa (1). Except for slight activity against L-glutamate, no oxidation of L-amino acids was observed. Recently a means for inducing the formation of a soluble L-amino acid oxidase by the mold was reported by Bender, Krebs, and Hor0wit.z (2). This is accomplished by reducing the biotin content of the basal medium (3) ...

This paper is an overview of recent results by Kolodko and Schoenmakers (2006), Bender and Schoenmakers (2006) on the evaluation of options with early exercise opportunities via policy improvement. Stability is discussed and simulation results based on plain Monte Carlo estimators for conditional expectations are presented.

IntroductIon Like number words and written numerals, fingers can be used to represent numbers. In fact, due to their ubiquitous availability, agility, and discrete quantity, they are considered the most natural tool for counting, which renders them attractive for theories of embodied (numerical) cognition (Andres et al., 2008; Di Luca and Pesenti, 2011). As they are so closely linked to the hum...
