The use of stochastic collocation for sampling from expensive distributions with applications in finance by Brand, Hilmarie

“…The points at which the interpolating polynomial is constructed to exactly match the true quantile-to-quantile transformation function are known as collocation points. Any number of realisations from the expensive distribution may be read off using the interpolating polynomial, leading to a significant reduction in computation time when compared to methods like the inverse transform method. …”

The role of steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) in gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor gene regulation by Pheiffer, Carmen P

“…Northern blot analysis suggests that GnRHR expression is not solely dependent on the presence of SF-1, as αT4 cells do not express GnRHR but a SF-1 transcript is seen in these cells. Promoter function was analysed by constructing plasmids containing 563 bp of the GnRHR gene 5' to the ATG translation start site linked to a luciferase reporter gene, followed by transfection of these constructs into different cell lines. …”

In vitro modelling of cellular haemozoin and inhibition by β-haematin inhibitors and their derivatives by Openshaw, Roxanne

“…Further investigations into the exchangeable haem amounts as a function of intracellular test compound amounts at the IC50 values of these β-haematin inhibitors highlighted that there was an apparent 1:1 relationship with the amount of intracellular exchangeable haem, indicative of complex formation. …”
