  2. Statistical dispersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_dispersion

    In statistics, dispersion (also called variability, scatter, or spread) is the extent to which a distribution is stretched or squeezed. [1] Common examples of measures of statistical dispersion are the variance, standard deviation, and interquartile range. For instance, when the variance of data in a set is large, the data is widely scattered.

  3. Sol (colloid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol_(colloid)

    Examples include amongst others blood, pigmented ink, cell fluids, paint, antacids and mud. Artificial sols can be prepared by two main methods: dispersion and condensation. In the dispersion method, solid particles are reduced to colloidal dimensions through techniques such as ball milling and Bredig's arc method. In the condensation method ...

  4. Dispersion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(chemistry)

    Oxide dispersion-strengthened alloy (ODS) is an example of oxide particle dispersion into a metal medium, which improves the high temperature tolerance of the material. Therefore these alloys have several applications in the nuclear energy industry, where materials must withstand extremely high temperatures to maintain operation.

  5. Deviation (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deviation_(statistics)

    Statistics of the distribution of deviations are used as measures of statistical dispersion. A distribution with different standard deviations reflects varying degrees of dispersion among its data points. The first standard deviation from the mean in a normal distribution encompasses approximately 68% of the data.

  6. Coefficient of variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_variation

    In the examples below, we will take the values given as randomly chosen from a larger population of values.. The data set [100, 100, 100] has constant values. Its standard deviation is 0 and average is 100, giving the coefficient of variation as 0 / 100 = 0

  7. Dispersion polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_polymerization

    In polymer science, dispersion polymerization is a heterogeneous polymerization process carried out in the presence of a polymeric stabilizer in the reaction medium. . Dispersion polymerization is a type of precipitation polymerization, meaning the solvent selected as the reaction medium is a good solvent for the monomer and the initiator, but is a non-solvent for the po

  8. Dispersion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics)

    Dispersion is the phenomenon in which the phase velocity of a wave depends on its frequency. [1] Sometimes the term chromatic dispersion is used to refer to optics specifically, as opposed to wave propagation in general. A medium having this common property may be termed a dispersive medium.

  9. Atmospheric dispersion modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_dispersion...

    Atmospheric dispersion modeling is the mathematical simulation of how air pollutants disperse in the ambient atmosphere. It is performed with computer programs that include algorithms to solve the mathematical equations that govern the pollutant dispersion.
