The problem of evolutionary transition is to formulate a coherent theory that can explain these transitions and guide evaluation of empirical evidence for each. Part of this work involves describing units of evolution adequate to explain the evolutionary origin of new levels and not merely evolution at levels (Griesemer, 2000c). The key insight into the units problem afforded by consideration of evolutionary transition is that units of evolution themselves have an evolutionary history. Differently put, there is a temporal or processual dimension to the units problem as well as spatial and functional dimensions. Because the spatial and functional perspectives on units mentioned above were not articulated with the evolutionary transition problem in mind, they are not clearly suited to its theoretical solution. In particular, if a perspective assumes the existence of levels of organization or embeds assumptions about these products of evolution in their analysis of units, then it has assumed what is to be shown by a theory of evolutionary transition. 

The dimension of an antibody library, typically defined as the number of clones bearing a suitable selectable marker (antibiotic resistance) and, containing the full-size antibody gene (detectable by PCR screening 32), does not necessarily correspond to the functional dimension of a library, which requires that the clones express properly folded antibodies. An approximation for the determination of the functional dimension of a library consists of determining what percentage of clones expresses antibodies, for example, using immunoblot techniques.

From a technical standpoint, the objective of a plant survey is to discover the facts concerning the engineering design, function, dimensions, metallurgy, layout, and operation of the cooling system, including full details on current water treatment products and services supplied. 

The interpretive-functional dimension classifies the space according to studies which, at the interpretive pole, are qualitative, emic and directed at a subjective understanding of tourism. Analyses at the functional end are quantitative, etic in character, and seek generalisations from empirical relationships. 

In these systems we still have the basic qualitative characteristic of boundedness for closedness restriction may be relaxed to open up new possibilities. Referring to the functional dimension (/-dimension) of the mathematical solutions, see Gurel (1981), the bounded solutions in three dimensional space may have three different forms ... 

Within the overall system, every monoblock is assigned its own speciflc position and function. For each of the models described, the installations differ with regard to the number of monoblocks employed, their specific functions, dimensions, weight and energy capacity. These differences notwithstanding, the models may actually have the same steam output and use feed water of the same characteristics.

FIGURE 75.1 The Elemental Resource Model contains multiple hierarchical levels. Performance resources (i.e., the basic elements) at the basic element level are finite in number, as dictated by the finite set of human subsystems and the finite set of their respective dimensions of performance. At higher levels, new systems can be readily created by configuration of systems at the basic element level. Consequently, there are in infinite number of performance resources (i.e., higher-level elements) at these levels. However, rules of General Systems Performance Theory (refer to text) are applied at any level in the same way resulting in the identification of the system, its function, dimensions of performance, performance resource availabilities (system attributes), and performance resource demands (task attributes).

Taking the design of modules as an example, it becomes clear that this is a combinatorial task. Key variables are the functionality, dimensions and the equipment layout within the module, as well as the connections between process modules and to utility modules. Reconfiguring an existing plant for a new product or process is also a combinatorial task. Such a systematic approach aids the decision on the functionality required of each module. Discussion of the standardisation of interchangeable modules (dimensions of the module and the size, type and location of all the external connections) is, however, beyond the scope of this paper.

The behaviour of real-time software must be proved correct not only in the functional dimension, as it is the case for any software system, but also in the time dimension to ensure proper interaction with the physical world. The requirements that need to be met by those systems extend much beyond functional... 

Cellulosic source, processing conditions, functions, dimensions, and pretreatment methods have great influence on the properties and type of nanocellulose. There are three main subcategories of nanocellulose microfibrillated cellulose, nanociystalline cellulose, and bacterial nanocellulose.
