Mary Quant
Dame Barbara Mary Quant (11 February 1930 – 13 April 2023) was a British fashion designer and icon.

She was one of the designers who took credit for the miniskirt and hotpants. Ernestine Carter wrote: "It is given to a fortunate few to be born at the right time, in the right place, with the right talents. In recent fashion there are three: Chanel, Dior, and Mary Quant." Early life Barbara Mary Quant was born on 11 February 1930The Mary Quant exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2019–20 stated her year of birth as 1930, and that she became a student at Goldsmiths College around 1950.

Quantitative Analyst
Quantitative analysis is the use of mathematical and statistical methods in finance and investment management. Those working in the field are quantitative analysts (quants). Quants tend to specialize in specific areas which may include derivative structuring or pricing, risk management, investment management and other related finance occupations. The occupation is similar to those in industrial mathematics in other industries. The process usually consists of searching vast databases for patterns, such as correlations among liquid assets or price-movement patterns (trend following or reversion). Although the original quantitative analysts were "sell side quants" from market maker firms, concerned with derivatives pricing and risk management, the meaning of the term has expanded over time to include those individuals involved in almost any application of mathematical finance, including the buy side. Applied quantitative analysis is commonly associated with quantitative investment m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Quantitative Fund
A quantitative fund is an investment fund that uses Quantitative analysis (finance), quantitative investment management instead of fundamental human analysis. Investment process An Investment, investment process is classified as Quantitative analysis (finance), quantitative when investment management is fully based on the use of Mathematical finance, mathematical and Statistics, statistical methods to make investment decisions. If investment decisions are based on fundamental analysis and human judgement, the process is classified as fundamental. The quantitative investment process, essentially, breaks down into three key components: *Input system: Providing all necessary inputs such as market data and meta data, rules (see financial data vendor); *Forecasting engine: Asset allocation#Description, Generating estimations for prices and returns and also, Greeks (finance)#Related measures, risk parameters; *Portfolio construction engine: portfolio composition using optimizers or a He ...

The Quants
''The Quants'' is the debut New York Times best selling book by Wall Street journalist Scott Patterson. It was released on February 2, 2010 by Crown Business. The book describes the world of quantitative analysis and the various hedge funds that use the technique. Two years later, Patterson published a follow-up book, ''Dark Pools: High Speed Traders, AI Bandits and the Threat to the Global Financial System'', an investigative journey into the history of high-frequency trading and the spread of artificial intelligence in today’s markets. Background Patterson began writing ''The Quants'' in 2008. He was first exposed to the quantitative analysis investment strategies while covering the financial industry for the ''Wall Street Journal''. As he became more acquainted with the players involved, he found that many of the most successful quants knew each other and carried similar eccentricities. Realizing this was a world that the average investor knew little of, Patterson wrote t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Quant (automobile)
nanoFlowcell Holdings plc is a Swiss flow cell battery research and development company. nanoFlowcell claims to have developed the first flow battery small enough to be used in electric cars. Its battery, also branded nanoFlowcell, was first presented in the Quant E, Quant F and Quantino prototype vehicles. Similar to regular redox flow batteries, the nanoFlowcell battery uses electrolyte fluids to generate electricity from chemical compounds. nanoFlowcell uses, unlike the electrolytes in vanadium flow batteries or polysulfide bromide flow batteries, proprietary molecules as charge carriers; the electrolyte used in the nanoFlowcell is non-toxic and environmentally compatible. The electrolyte used in the nanoFlowcell battery has an energy density of 600 Wh per litre, which is ten times the energy density of regular redox flow cells. nanoFlowcell states that mass production cost for its "non-flammable and non-explosive" electrolyte is below 10 cents per litre. The feasibility ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
