Musicians

Always (Erasure song)

"Always" is a synthpop ballad by British group Erasure. It was released in 1994 as the first single from their sixth studio album I Say I Say I Say. Mute Records issued the single in the UK, while Elektra Records released it in the U.S. "Always" was written by Erasure members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, and is produced by Martyn Ware.

The song is built on the synthesized harmony of Clarke and Bell's subdued vocals and lyrics. The music video features Bell in a Chinese scroll painting-inspired backdrop, it was directed by the French filmmaker Jan Kounen.

The song quickly became Erasure's 13th Top 10 on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number four. In the United States, the single became Erasure's third Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 20, six years after their last major U.S. pop hit. On the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, "Always" climbed to number six.

Appearances

The 2009 mix of the song (found on Pop! Remixed and on Total Pop! The First 40 Hits) is featured in the Robot Unicorn Attack video game.

Dimension (data warehouse)

A dimension is a structure that categorizes facts and measures in order to enable users to answer business questions. Commonly used dimensions are people, products, place and time.

In a data warehouse, dimensions provide structured labeling information to otherwise unordered numeric measures. The dimension is a data set composed of individual, non-overlapping data elements. The primary functions of dimensions are threefold: to provide filtering, grouping and labelling.

These functions are often described as "slice and dice". Slicing refers to filtering data. Dicing refers to grouping data. A common data warehouse example involves sales as the measure, with customer and product as dimensions. In each sale a customer buys a product. The data can be sliced by removing all customers except for a group under study, and then diced by grouping by product.

A dimensional data element is similar to a categorical variable in statistics.

Typically dimensions in a data warehouse are organized internally into one or more hierarchies. "Date" is a common dimension, with several possible hierarchies:

Dimension (song)

"Dimension" is a song by Australian hard rock band Wolfmother, featured on their 2005 debut studio album Wolfmother.

Critical reception

In a review of Wolfmother for Blender, writer Jonah Weiner identified "Dimension" as an example of the band "at [their] hardest", describing it as an "acid anthem".NME reviewer James Jam described the song as "a throb of gonzo metal not unlike Black Sabbath playing Motown".

Dimension (graph theory)

In mathematics, and particularly in graph theory, the dimension of a graph is the least integer such that there exists a "classical representation" of the graph in the Euclidean space of dimension with all the edges having unit length.

In a classical representation, the vertices must be distinct points, but the edges may cross one another.

The dimension of a graph is written: .

For example, the Petersen graph can be drawn with unit edges in , but not in : its dimension is therefore 2 (see the figure to the right).

This concept was introduced in 1965 by Paul Erdős, Frank Harary and William Tutte. It generalises the concept of unit distance graph to more than 2 dimensions.

Examples

Complete graph

In the worst case, every pair of vertices is connected, giving a complete graph.

To immerse the complete graph with all the edges having unit length, we need the Euclidean space of dimension . For example, it takes two dimensions to immerse (an equilateral triangle), and three to immerse (a regular tetrahedron) as shown to the right.
