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.
Coordinate Geometry. In another branch of mathematics called coordinate geometry, the points that define a line are located on the plane using their coordinates-two numbers that show where the point is positioned. For more on this, see Definition of a Line Segment (Coordinate Geometry) . If we know the coordinates of the two endpoints of a line segment, we can calculate the distance between them, and so find the length of the line segment. See Distance between two points (coordinate geometry).
