While sometimes under the radar screen, borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a condition more common than schizophrenia or bipolar disorder and is estimated to affect 2 percent of the population.rullâs study, âChromosome 9: linkage for borderline personality disorderâ was recently published in Psychiatic Genetics and âHeritability of borderline personality disorder features is similar across three countriesâ was published in Psychological Medicine.
Taxicab geometry is a form of geometry, where the distance between two points A and B is not the length of the line segment AB as in the Euclidean geometry, but the sum of the absolute differences of their coordinates.
Point-Point Distance--2-Dimensional. In the case of a general surface, the distance between two points measured along the surface is known as a geodesic. For example, the shortest distance between two points on a sphere is an arc of a great circle. In the Euclidean plane , the curve that minimizes the distance between two points is clearly a straight line segment.
