Critics, such as psychiatrist Niall McLaren, argue that the DSM lacks validity because it has no relation to an agreed scientific model of mental disorder and therefore the decisions taken about its categories ( or even the question of categories versus dimensions ) were not scientific ones ; and that it lacks reliability partly because different diagnoses share many criteria, and what appear to be different criteria are often just rewordings of the same idea, meaning that the decision to allocate one diagnosis or another to a patient is to some extent a matter of personal prejudice.

While diffraction occurs whenever propagating waves encounter such changes, its effects are generally most pronounced for waves where the wavelength is roughly similar to the dimensions of the diffracting objects.

This idea is the unique supersymmetric theory in eleven dimensions, with its low-entropy matter content and interactions fully determined, and can be obtained as the strong coupling limit of type IIA string theory because a new dimension of space emerges as the coupling constant increases.

As suggested by its name ( a contraction of " Matrix Laboratory "), MATLAB can create and manipulate arrays of 1 ( vectors ), 2 ( matrices ), or more dimensions.

The acquisition process is very complex, with many dimensions influencing its outcome.

These relations are important because they define the maximum performance of a device in terms of velocity ratios determined by its physical dimensions.

In 1968 Ronald Melzack and Kenneth Casey described pain in terms of its three dimensions: " sensory-discriminative " ( sense of the intensity, location, quality and duration of the pain ), " affective-motivational " ( unpleasantness and urge to escape the unpleasantness ), and " cognitive-evaluative " ( cognitions such as appraisal, cultural values, distraction and hypnotic suggestion ).

The dimensions of its pieces were relatively non-critical.

Columbushaus got in on the act too, its battered facade providing a ready-made notice board of huge dimensions, which the East Germans were only too quick to exploit in this new propaganda battle.

Properties can have all sorts of dimensions, depending upon the system being considered ; parameters are dimensionless, or have the dimension of time or its reciprocal.

However, the term is applied to multidimensional data as well as to univariate data and in situations where a transformation of the data values for some or all dimensions would usually be considered necessary: in the latter cases, the notion of a " central location " is retained in converting an " average " computed for the transformed data back to the original units.

A recent analysis of survey data using principal component analysis was carried out in 2003 in the UK ; the results of this study yielded the same two dimensions as found by Eysenck's original research: the familiar " left-right " R-dimension that mixes economic issues and social issues, and a second T-dimension that is described as " pragmatism vs idealism.

Inglehart's two-factor solution took the form of Ferguson's original Religionism and Humanitarianism dimensions ; Inglehart labelled them " secularism – traditionalism ", which covered issues of tradition and religion, like patriotism, abortion, euthanasia and the importance of obeying the law and authority figures, and " survivalism – self expression ", which measured issues like everyday conduct and dress, acceptance of diversity ( including foreigners ) and innovation, and attitudes towards people with specific controversial lifestyles such as homosexuality and vegetarianism, as well as willingness to partake in political activism.

The unification of space and time is exemplified by the common practice of selecting a metric ( the measure that specifies the interval between two events in spacetime ) such that all four dimensions are measured in terms of units of distance: representing an event as ( in the Lorentz metric ) or ( in the original Minkowski metric ) where is the speed of light.

The dimensions and colour of the TARDIS props used in the series have changed many times, as a result of damage and the needs of the show, and none of the BBC props has been a faithful replica of the original MacKenzie Trench model.

It accepts moderate to large deformations under load and recovers quickly to its original dimensions once the load is removed.

A number of extensions to the original " Befunge-93 " specification also exist, most notably Funge-98, which extends the concept to an arbitrary number of dimensions and can be multithreaded, with multiple instruction pointers operating simultaneously on the same space.

The Champion Locost and the Haynes Roadster share similar chassis dimensions to the original Lotus Seven.

A 2002 storyline in the Supergirl comic book saw the original pre-Crisis Supergirl landing on post-Crisis Earth, for example, and established that the Spectre, being able to see across dimensions and timelines, is aware that the Crisis occurred.

The three original sections of the suburb utilized relatively uniform lot dimensions and building setbacks, thereby creating a cohesive development of middle-and upper-middle-class housing.

It retained its original dimensions until 1797, when Pittsfield ( and what would come to be New Lisbon ) was set off.

These areas represent the original land dimensions of the founded city, generally one square mile.

Each ‘ Wall Drawing ’ is made on a sheet of paper measuring 158 cm x 126 cm, the same dimensions as a small wall in Tyson ’ s original studio where he used to draw-up notes.

The original story, as written by Aykroyd, was very different from what was eventually filmed ; in the initial version, a group of " Ghostsmashers " traveled through time, space, and other dimensions combating huge ghosts ( of which the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man was one of many ).

This design achieves better electronic performance because, unlike the QN, this new version maintains the basic structural parameters of the original Type N in which the inner dimensions of the outer conductor are 7. 00 mm, and the inner conductor ’ s outer dimensions are 3. 04 mm.

Although the dimensions and colour of the TARDIS used in the series have changed many times, none of the BBC props have been a faithful replica of the original MacKenzie Trench model.

While the organ console remains the same, a bat-shaped note stand at the console has replaced the oval mirror and a new taller set of pipes replaced the original pipe arrangement in the film to better compliment the dimensions of the room and to fit with the ghostly effect of skulls pouring out of them.
