We investigate the electronic transport through a single-level quantum-dot which is capacitively coupled to a charge-qubit. By employing the method of nonequilibrium Green's functions, we calculate the electric current through quantum dot at finite bias voltages. The Green's functions and self-energies of the system are calculated perturbatively and self-consistently to the second order of inte...

This paper estimates returns to education in India using a nationally representative survey. We estimate the standard Mincerian wage equation separately for rural and urban sectors. To account for the possibility of sample selection bias, Heckman two-step procedure is used. The findings indicate that returns to education increase with the level of education and differ for rural and urban reside...

Introduction: Previous studies have reported contradicting results about the effect of medication therapy on attribution bias and jumping to conclusion (JTC) bias in schizophrenic patients. This study aims at analyzing the effect of medication on attribution bias and JTC bias in schizophrenic patients. Methods: This study is an ex post facto and casual-comparative research. 28 people includi...

background several empirical studies have shown the attitude of smokers to formulate judgments based on distortion in the risk perception. this alteration is produced by the activation of the optimistic bias characterized by a set of the unrealistic beliefs compared to the outcomes of their behavior. this bias exposes individuals to adopt lifestyles potentially dangerous for their health, under...

errors and variations in interpretation can happen in clinical imaging. few studies have examined the biased effect of clinical information on reporting of brain ct scans. in a blinded double crossover design, we studied whether three radiologists were biased by clinical information when making ct scan diagnosis of the brain. three consultant radiologists in three rounds with at least a one-mon...

all the people sometimes in their life become anxious in social situations. social phobia is exaggerated form of these fears. social phobic patients are afraid of being seen. they scared of act somehow that being contemptional or shameful.researchers have found four type of cognitive bias in anxious individuals: attention bias, memory bias, judgment (reasoning) and interpretation bias.one kind ...

objective: the study was designed to examine explicit memory bias in trait-anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. method: memory bias was examined in three groups of subjects: low-trait  anxious (20 subjects), high-trait anxious (20 subjects), and obsessive compulsive patients (20 subjects) in whom danger schema were activated after they were exposed the threat-related material. the trait-a...
