Dispensationalist theology Dispensationalist theology refers to the efforts of Dispensationalism to address what many see as opposing theologies between the Old Testament and New Testament. Its name comes from the fact that it sees biblical history as best understood in light of a series of dispensations in the Bible.
Dispersal draft A dispersal draft is a process in professional sports for assigning players to a new team when their current team folds, consolidates with another team, or for some other reason ceases to exist. Since most sports drafts are held in North America, this is where most dispersal drafts are conducted as well.
Dispersed knowledge In economics, dispersed knowledge is information that is dispersed throughout the marketplace, and is not in the hands of any single agent. All agents in the market have imperfect knowledge; however, they all have an impressive indicator of everyone else's knowledge and intentions, and that is the price.
Dispersion (optics) In optics, dispersion is a phenomenon that causes the separation of a wave into spectral components with different wavelengths, due to a dependence of the wave's speed on its wavelength. It is most often described in light waves, but it may happen to any kind of wave that interacts with a medium or can be confined to a waveguide, such as sound waves.
Dispersion (water waves) Dispersion of water waves generally refers to frequency dispersion. That is, water, in fluid dynamics, is generally considered to be a dispersive medium; which means that the velocity of the wave front travels as a function of frequency so that spatial and temporal phase properties of the wave propagation are constantly changing.
Dispersion relation In physics, the dispersion relation is the relation between the energy of a system and its corresponding momentum. For example, for massive particles in free space, the dispersion relation can easily be calculated from the definition of kinetic energy:
Dispersion-limited operation A dispersion-limited operation is an operation of a communications link in which signal waveform degradation attributable to the dispersive effects of the communications medium is the dominant mechanism that limits link performance. The dispersion is the filter-like effect that a link has on the signal, due to the different propagation speeds of the eigenmodes of the link.
Dispersion-shifted fiber Dispersion shifted fiber, specified in ITU-T G.653 and also called DSF, is a type of single-mode optical fiber with a core-clad index profile tailored to shift the zero-dispersion wavelength from the natural 1300 nm in silica-glass fibers to the minimum-loss window at 1550 nm.
Dispersive partial differential equation In mathematics, a dispersive PDE is a partial differential equation that is dispersive, which means that different frequencies propagate at different group velocities. For example, the Airy equation, the Schrödinger equation, and the Klein-Gordon equation are dispersive.
Displaced persons camp A displaced persons camp is in principle any temporary facility for displaced persons. In recent times Displaced Persons Camps have existed in many parts of the world, including Dafur in Africa, camps for Palestinians in Lebanon and Jordan, Afghans in Pakistan.
Displaced Person (TV) Displaced Person is the name of a 1985 Emmy award winning drama based on a short story by Kurt Vonnegut. It was directed by Alan Bridges and adapted by Fred Barron from a story in the Welcome to the Monkey House collection.
Displacement (psiology, parapsychology, psychical science) Displacement is a characteristic quality of otherwise anomalous cognition. It defines a statistical or qualitative correspondence between a stimulus and a set of responses that occurs independently of their normally perceptible spatial and temporal relationships.
Displacement (psychology) In psychology, displacement is a subconscious defense mechanism whereby the mind redirects affect from an object felt to be dangerous or unacceptable to an object felt to be safe or acceptable. For instance, some people punch cushions when angry at friends; a college student may snap at their roommate when upset about an exam grade.
Displacement (vector) In Newtonian mechanics, displacement is the vector that specifies the position of a point or a particle in reference to an origin or to a previous position. The vector directs from the reference point to the current position.
Displacement current Displacement current is a quantity related to a changing electric field. It is not a real current (movement of charge) in a vacuum, but it has the units of current, as movement of charge does, and has an associated magnetic field.
Displacement chess Displacement chess is a family of chess variants, in which a few pieces are transposed in the initial standard chess position. The main goal of these variants is to negate players' knowledge of standard chess openings.
Displacement lubricator The displacement lubricator is an automatic oil lubricator for steam engines, first introduced in the United Kingdom in 1860 by John Ramsbottom. It operates by allowing steam to enter a closed vessel containing oil.
Displacement mapping Displacement mapping is an alternative technique in contrast to bump mapping, normal mapping, and parallax mapping, using a (procedural-) texture- or height map to cause an effect where the actual geometric position of points over the textured surface are displaced, often along the local surface normal, according to the value the texture function evaluates to at each point on the surface. It gives surfaces a great sense of depth and detail, permitting in particular self-occlusion, self-shadowing and silhouettes; on the other hand, it is the most costly of this class of techniques owing to the large amount of additional geometry.
Displacement thickness Displacement thickness is distance by which a surface would have to be moved parallel to itself towards the reference plane in an ideal fluid stream of velocity u_0 to give the same volumetric flow as occurs between the surface and the reference plane in a real fluid.
Displacer beast A displacer beast is a fictional species from the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. This magical beast resembles a puma with a pair of powerful black tentacles sprouting from its shoulders, and two to four additional forelimbs.
Displacer serpent In the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the Displacer serpent is a magical beast akin to an ophidian version of the Displacer beast. It resembles a flat, purplish-black snake, 8 feet long and weighing about 200 pounds, with glowing green eyes and violet stripes down its sides.
Display (zoology) Display is a form of animal behaviour, linked to survival of the species in various ways. Some species use display as a form of courtship, with the male usually having a striking feature that is distinguished by colour, shape or size, used to attract a female.
Display advertising Display advertising is a type of advertising that may, and most frequently does, contain graphic information beyond text such as logos, photographs or other pictures, location maps, and similar items. In periodicals it can appear on the same page with, or a page adjacent to, general editorial content; as opposed to classified advertising, which generally appears in a distinct section and was traditionally text-only in a limited selection of typefaces (although the latter distinction is no longer sharp).
Display board Display board is a generic term for a board-shaped material that is rigid and strong enough to stand on its own, and generally used for displaying paper or other materials affixed to it. Types of display board include poster board or posterboard.
Display device A display device, also known as an information display is a device for visual or tactile presentation of images (including text) acquired, stored, or transmitted in various forms. While most common displays are designed to present information dynamically in a visual medium, tactile displays, usually intended for the blind or visually impaired, use mechanical parts to dynamically update a tactile image (usually of text) so that the image may be felt by the fingers.
Display Data Channel The Display Data Channel or DDC is a digital connection between a computer display and a graphics adapter that allows the display to communicate its specifications to the adapter. The standard was created by VESA.
Display Handicap The Display Handicap was a thoroughbred horse race formerly run at New York City's Aqueduct Racetrack. It was for 3-year-olds and upward, and in most years was held on the last day of racing in New York for that calendar year (on December 31 starting in 1976, when year-round racing was introduced in New York).
Display resolution The display resolution of a digital television or computer display typically refers to the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. It can be an ambiguous term especially as the displayed resolution is controlled by different factors in picture-tube (CRT) and flat panel or projection displays using fixed picture-element (pixel) arrays.
DisplayPort DisplayPort is a new digital display interface standard (approved May 2006) being put forth by the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association). It defines a new license-free state-of-the-art digital audio/video interconnect, intended to be used primarily between a computer and its display monitor, or a computer and a home-theater system.
Displeased Records Displeased Records is a Dutch independent record label, founded by Lars Eikema and Ron Veltkamp. The label has many Dutch and other extreme metal bands on its roster , but also re-released many classic albums, including albums by Cryptopsy, Infernäl Mäjesty and Whiplash.
Disposable ship A disposable ship, also called raft ship, timber ship, or timber drogher was a barely seaworthy vessel assembled from large timbers lashed or pegged together for the purpose of making just a single voyage from North America to England where the vessel was subsequently dismantled and its timbers sold piecemeal to British shipbuilders. The disposable ship avoided two problems that adversely impacted profitability of shipping in the British timber trade: high taxes and small cargoes.
Dispositional attribution Dispositional attribution is the explanation of individual behavior as a result caused by innate characteristics that reside within the individual, as opposed to outside influences that stem from the environment or culture in which that individual is placed.
Dispositional belief In philosophy, the term dispositional belief refers to a belief that is not currently being considered by the mind, but is stored in memory and can be recalled later. It can be contrasted with the concept of occurrent belief.
Dispositionist 'Dispositionist' is a term in psychology used to describe those that believe people's actions are conditioned by the situation they find themselves in rather than some internal moral character. (See also: fundamental attribution error).
Dispositive motion In law, a dispositive motion is a motion seeking a trial court order entirely disposing of one or more claims in favor of the moving party without need for further trial court proceedings. "To dispose" of a claim means to decide the claim in favor of one or another party.

Disputation In the scholastic system of education of the Middle Ages, disputations (in Latin: disputationes, singular: disputatio) offered a formalized method of debate designed to uncover and establish "truths" in theology and in other sciences. Fixed rules governed the process: they demanded dependence on traditional written authorities and the thorough understanding of each argument on each side.
Disputation of Barcelona The Disputation of Barcelona took place for four days, July 20-24, 1263 at the royal palace of king James I of Aragon in the presence of the king, his court, and many prominent ecclesiastical dignitaries and knights, between a convert from Judaism to Christianity Pablo Christiani and rabbi Nachmanides. Christiani had been trying to make Jews of Provence abandon their religion and convert to Christianity.

Disruption (adoption) Disruption is the term most commonly used for ending an adoption. While technically an adoption is disrupted only when it is abandoned by the adopting parent or parents before it is legally completed (an adoption that is reversed after that point is instead referred to in the law as having been dissolved), in practice the term is used for all adoptions that are ended (more recently, among families disrupting, the euphemism "re-homing" has become current).
Disruption of 1843 The Disruption of 1843 was a schism within the established Church of Scotland, in which 450 ministers of the Church broke away, over the issue of the Church's relationship with the State, to form the Free Church of Scotland. It came at the end of a bitter conflict within the established Church, and had huge effects not only within the Church, but also upon Scottish civic life.

Dissimilar air combat training Dissimilar air combat training (DACT) was introduced as a formal part of US air combat training after disappointing aerial combat exchange rates in the Vietnam War. Traditionally, pilots would train against similar aircraft for training, so, for example, pilots of F-8s would seldom train against F-4 Phantoms, and almost never against A-4 Skyhawks and never as part of a formal syllabus.
Dissimilation In phonology, particularly in historical phonology, dissimilation is a phenomenon whereby similar consonant sounds in a word become less similar. It is sometimes claimed that dissimilation results in a form that is easier for the listener to perceive (whereas assimilation results in a form that is easier for the speaker to pronounce), with the implication that such results are in fact the cause of the change.
Dissing Dissing is a slang term derived from the word disrespecting. The verb "to diss" originated in African American Vernacular English, though its use has become widespread among people of many racial and social backgrounds.
Dissipated Eight The Dissipated Eight, also known as the Middlebury College Dissipated Eight or D8, is an all-male collegiate a cappella ensemble from Middlebury College in Vermont. The Dissipated Eight was formed in 1952 and still exists today, generally with more than eight members.
Dissipation In physics, dissipation embodies the concept of a dynamical system where important mechanical modes, such as waves or oscillations, lose energy over time, typically due to the action of friction or turbulence. The lost energy is converted into heat, raising the temperature of the system.
Dissipative system A dissipative system (or dissipative structure) is a thermodynamically open system which is operating far from thermodynamic equilibrium in an environment with which it exchanges energy, matter and/or entropy. A dissipative system is characterized by the spontaneous appearance of symmetry breaking (anisotropy) and the formation of complex, sometimes chaotic, structures where interacting particles exhibit long range correlations.
Dissociate aspect In astrology, a dissociate aspect is an aspect, such as a conjunction, opposition, trine, square, or quincunx, that is within its allowable orb, but out of its designated sign. A dissociate aspect is is believed to be less powerful than it would be otherwise, so that it is weaker than those aspects that are in their designated signs.
Dissociated sensory loss Dissociated sensory loss is a pattern of neurological damage caused by a lesion to a single tract in the spinal cord which involves selective loss of fine touch and proprioception without loss of pain and temperature, or vice-versa.
Dissociation (chemistry) Dissociation in chemistry and biochemistry is a general process in which complexes, molecules, or salts separate or split into smaller molecules, ions, or radicals, usually in a reversible manner. Dissociation is the opposite of association and recombination.
Dissociation (psychology) Dissociation is a psychological state or condition in which certain thoughts, emotions, sensations, or memories are separated from the rest of the psyche. For this reason, it is sometimes referred to as "splitting.
Dissociative disorders Dissociative disorders are defined as conditions that involve disruptions or breakdowns of memory, awareness, identity and/or perception. The hypothesis being that the symptoms can result, to the extent of interfering with a person's general functioning, when one or more of these functions is disrupted.
Dissociative drug A dissociative is a drug which reduces (or blocks) signals to the conscious mind from other parts of the brain, typically, but not necessarily, limited to the physical senses. Such a state of sensory deprivation and dissociation can facilitate self exploration, hallucinations, and dreamlike states of mind which may resemble some psychedelic mindstates.
Dissociative recombination Dissociative recombination is a process where a positive molecular ion recombines with an electron, and as a result, the neutral molecule dissociates. This reaction is important for extraterrestrial and atmospheric chemistry.
Dissolution (law) Dissolution is also the term for the legal process by which an adoption is reversed. While this applies to the vast majority of adoptions which are terminated, they are more commonly referred to as disruptions, even though that term technically applies only to those that are not legally complete at the time of termination.

It is often referred to as the Velvet Divorce in English and many other languages.
Dissolution of the Monasteries The Dissolution of the Monasteries, referred to by Roman Catholic writers as the Suppression of the Monasteries, was the formal process during the English Reformation by which King Henry VIII confiscated the property of the monastic institutions in England between 1538 and 1541. He was given the authority to do this by the Act of Supremacy, passed by Parliament in 1534, which made him Supreme Head of the Church of England.
Dissolution of the union between Norway and Sweden in 1905 Norway's parliament dissolved the union between Sweden and Norway on June 7, 1905.

Dissorophidae Dissorophidae are an extinct taxon of medium-sized, temnospondyl amphibians that flourished during the Late Pennsylvanian and Early Permian periods in what is now North America and Europe. Despite being amphibians, they seem to be well developed for life on land, with well-developed limbs, solid vertebrae, and a row of armour plates of dermal bone, which both protected the animal and further strengthened the backbone.
Dissorophoidea Dissorophoidea are a clade of medium-sized, temnospondyl amphibians that appeared during the Late Pennsylvanian in Euramerica, and continued through to trhe late Permian and even possibly the Early Triassic of Gondwana (if Micropholis belongs here). They are distinguished by various details of the skull (see Laurin & Steyer, 2000, for list of apomorphies), and many forms seem to have been well adapted for life on land.
