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.
The dimensions of the rectangle are found by calculating the distance between various corner points. Recall that we can find the distance between any two points if we know their coordinates. (See Distance between Two Points) So in the figure above: 1  The height of the rectangle is the distance between A and B (or C,D).2  The width is the distance between B and C (or A,D). 3  The length of a diagonals is the distance between opposite corners, say B and D (or A,C since the diagonals are congruent).ut if the sides of the rectangle are parallel to the x and y axes, then the calculations can be a little easier. In the above figure uncheck the rotated box to create this condition and note that: 1  The height is the difference in y-coordinates of any top and bottom point-for example A and B.
