What exactly is a psychological disorder? How is a psychological disorder diagnosed? Defining exactly what constitutes a mental disorder can be tricky and, definitions have changed over time.

The first problem is that psychologists must first decide exactly how to define disorder. How do you determine if there is something psychologically wrong or unhealthy about a person? How do you decide what's normal and what's abnormal?

If you were to define disorder as something that lies outside of the statistical norm, then people who are considered exceptionally talented or gifted in a particular area would be regarded as abnormal. So rather than focus on actions that are considered outside of the normal statistically speaking, psychologists tend to concentrate on the results of those behaviors. Behaviors that are considered maladaptive and cause significant personal distress and interrupt daily functioning are more likely to be labeled as abnormal.

Today many psychologists agree that psychological disorders are characterized by both personal distress and impairment in multiple areas of life.

Statistical time division multiplexing does not require the capacity of the circuit to be equal to the sum of the combined circu
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The answer is True

Explanation:

Statistical Multiplexing is considered an example of communication link sharing which makes it comparable to DBA (Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation). Here, communication channels are broken down into data streams to optimize the communication process.

In Statistical Time-division Multiplexing, time slots are allocated to data streams for communication optimization. This method makes sure that no time slot or bandwidth is wasted.

Hence, the sum of combined circuits must not be equal to the capacity of the circuit to work effectively.

What is the available energy content, in joules, of a battery that operates a 2.00-W electric clock for 18 months
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

93312000 Joules

Explanation:

Energy can be explained as the capacity for doing work. And can be expressed as

E= pt....................eqn(1)

Where

E= Energy in Joules

P= power in Watt= 2.00W

t= time in seconds

Time= 18 months, which can be converted to "seconds" as;

18 months = [ 18 monthsx 30 days x 24 hours x 60 min x 60 sec] = 46656000

Then

time= 46656000 seconds

Power=2 watt

If we substitute into equation (1) we have

Energy = 2 watt × 46656000 seconds

Energy= 93312000 Joules

How much work is required to lift a 2 kilogram mass to a height of 10 meters
Semmy [17]

Given mass = 2kg, height = 10m,g = 9.8.


We know that Work done W = FD


= > W = (mg)(D)


= > W = (2 * 9.8)(10)


= > W = 196 Joules.


Hope this helps!
