Dilution of precision (computer graphics) Dilution of precision is an algorithmic trick used to handle difficult problems in hidden line removal, caused when horizontal and vertical edges lay on top of each other due to numerical instability. Numerically, the severity escalates when a CAD model is viewed along the principal axii or when a geometric form is viewed end-on.
Dilution of precision (GPS) Dilution of precision (DOP) or Geometric Dilution of Precision (GDOP) is a GPS term used in geomatics engineering to describe the geometric strength of satellite configuration. When visible satellites are close together in the sky, the geometry is said to be weak and the DOP value is high; when far apart, the geometry is strong and the DOP value is low.
Diluvium Diluvium is a term in geology for superficial deposits formed by flood-like operations of water, and so contrasted with alluvium or alluvial deposits formed by slow and steady aqueous agencies.

That is, multidimensional database systems offer an extension to the relational system to provide a multi-dimensional view of the data (Rand).
Dimensional deconstruction In theoretical physics, dimensional deconstruction is a method to construct d-dimensional theories that behave as higher-dimensional theories in a certain range of energies. The resulting theory is a gauge theory whose gauge group is a direct product of many copies of the same group; each copy may be interpreted as the gauge group located at a particular point along a new, discrete, "deconstructed" (d+1)st dimension.
Dimensional metrology ‘’’dimensional metrology’’’ refers to the measurement of attributes of objects or portions of objects and measurement of relationships of object components and features, specifically attributes pertaining to the six “degrees of freedom” in physical space – three dimensions of position and three dimensions of rotation or angle. Dimensional metrology includes measurement of the shape, the position, the orientation, the surface characteristics (such as flatness, waviness, and surface roughness), dimensional defects (such as porosity, burrs, scratches, edge breaks and gouges), and the relationships of specific object surfaces or features (such as distance or separation, parallelism, angularity, thickness, roundness, concentricity, cylindricity, and perpendicularity).

Dimensionless physical constant In physics, dimensionless or fundamental physical constants are, in the strictest sense, universal physical constants that are independent of systems of units and hence are dimensionless quantities. However, the term may also be used (for example, by NIST) to refer to any dimensioned universal physical constant, such as the speed of light (free space) or the gravitational constant.
Dimensionless quantity In dimensional analysis, a dimensionless quantity (or more precisely, a quantity with the dimensions of 1) is a quantity without any physical units and thus a pure number. Such a number is typically defined as a product or ratio of quantities which do have units, in such a way that all units cancel.
