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. …”

Synthesis, Characterisation and Device Application of Silicon Nanoparticles produced by Mechanical Attrition by Odo, Ayodele

“…The structural properties of the nanocomposites was investigated using small angle X-ray scattering, while the electrical properties were investigated by conducting I ô V measurements on a metal-nanocomposite-metal structure. Further tests for electronic properties like eld e ect mobilities were achieved by using the nanocomposite as the active layer in an insulated gate eld e ect transistor structure. …”
