Difference theory has roots in the studies of John Gumperz, who examined the differences in cross-cultural communication.
 While difference theory deals with cross-gender communication, the male and female genders are often presented as being two separate cultures, hence the relevance of Gumperz's studies.
 In her development on the difference theory Deborah Tannen in particular drew on the work of Daniel Maltz and Ruth Borker and their 1982 paper "A Cultural Approach to Male-Female Miscommunication", which itself drew on the work of Gumperz.
 Mary Talbot makes reference to the term "gender-specific culture" in her critique of the difference theory, and this idea of genders being culturally separated is embodied by the 1992 publication "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus".
 Difference theory is often compared with dominance theory and deficit theory, and together with the more contemporary dynamic theory they make up four of the theories most widely referred to and compared in the study of language and gender.
"Munto" is a Japanese original video animation (OVA) series containing two episodes that were released on March 18, 2003 and April 23, 2005.
 The episodes were directed by Yoshiji Kigami and were produced by Kyoto Animation.
 While the first episodes is entitled simply "Munto", the second episodes is titled "Munto 2: Beyond the Walls of Time".
 The OVAs were licensed by Central Park Media in North America and are distributed by U.S. Manga Corps.
Russell King (born 1958 or 1959) is a convicted fraudster.
 He headed negotiations and acted as consultant for the doomed purchase of Notts County Football Club by Munto Finance, a subsidiary of Qadbak Investments.
In any quantitative science, the terms relative change and relative difference are used to compare two quantities while taking into account the "sizes" of the things being compared.
 The comparison is expressed as a ratio and is a unitless number.
 By multiplying these ratios by 100 they can be expressed as percentages so the terms percentage change, percent(age) difference, or relative percentage difference are also commonly used.
 The distinction between "change" and "difference" depends on whether or not one of the quantities being compared is considered a "standard" or "reference" or "starting" value.
 When this occurs, the term "relative change" (with respect to the reference value) is used and otherwise the term "relative difference" is preferred.
 Relative difference is often used as a quantitative indicator of quality assurance and quality control for repeated measurements where the outcomes are expected to be the same.
 A special case of percent change (relative change expressed as a percentage) called "percent error" occurs in measuring situations where the reference value is the accepted or actual value (perhaps theoretically determined) and the value being compared to it is experimentally determined (by measurement).
In combinatorics, a formula_1 difference set is a subset formula_2 of size formula_3 of a group formula_4 of order formula_5 such that every nonidentity element of formula_4 can be expressed as a product formula_7 of elements of formula_2 in exactly formula_9 ways.
 A difference set formula_2 is said to be "cyclic", "abelian", "non-abelian", etc., if the group formula_4 has the corresponding property.
 A difference set with formula_12 is sometimes called "planar" or "simple".
 If formula_4 is an abelian group written in additive notation, the defining condition is that every nonzero element of formula_4 can be written as a "difference" of elements of formula_2 in exactly formula_9 ways.
 The term "difference set" arises in this way.
Up is a 2009 American 3D computer-animated comedy-adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures.
 Directed by Pete Docter, the film centers on an elderly widower named Carl Fredricksen (Ed Asner) and an earnest young "Wilderness Explorer" (a fictional youth group similar to the Boy Scouts) named Russell (Jordan Nagai).
 By tying thousands of balloons to his home, Carl sets out to fulfill his dream to see the wilds of South America and complete a promise made to his late wife, Ellie.
 The film was co-directed by Bob Peterson, with music composed by Michael Giacchino.
The Volta potential (also called Volta potential difference, contact potential difference, outer potential difference, Δψ, or "delta psi") in electrochemistry, is the electrostatic potential difference between two metals (or one metal and one electrolyte) that are in contact and are in thermodynamic equilibrium.
 Specifically, it is the potential difference between a point close to the surface of the first metal, and a point close to the surface of the second metal (or electrolyte).
Munto is a two-episode original video animation (OVA) project by Kyoto Animation, first released in 2003 titled "Munto" followed by a 2005 sequel "Munto: Beyond the Walls of Time".
 An animated television series entitled "Sora o Miageru Shōjo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai" based on the OVAs was produced by Kyoto Animation and directed by Yoshiji Kigami.
 The TV series is a nine-episode continuation of the OVAs, and aired in Japan between January and March 2009 on Chiba TV.
 The TV series includes an updated director's cut of the OVA episodes with new animation and footage.
 A manga adaptation of the TV series illustrated by Makoto 2-gō began serialization in the May 2009 issue of Kadokawa Shoten's "Comp Ace" magazine.
 An animated film named "Tenjōbito to Akutobito Saigo no Tatakai" (天上人とアクト人 最後の戦い ) was released on April 18, 2009.
Pratiyogitvam, a Sanskrit term, means recognizing 'difference' by noting the 'otherness' in another thing; 'difference' means - 'the want of the total characteristic of one thing in another'.
 Differences are of three kinds – a) 'difference existing in oneself' ("svajātiya-bheda"), b) 'difference in species' ("svagata-bheda"), and c) 'difference of genus' ("vijātiya-bheda").
 These differences do not exist in Brahman who is one without a second.
 The Upanishads negate these differences in Brahman who is self-revealing and can be experienced when all mentations cease, what is then experienced is not nothing, for there can be no knowledge of a thing that does not exist.
Phonemic contrast refers to a minimal phonetic difference, that is, small differences in speech sounds, that makes a difference in how the sound is perceived by listeners, and can therefore lead to different mental lexical entries for words.
 For example, whether a sound is voiced or unvoiced (consider /b/ and /p/ in English) matters for how a sound is perceived in many languages, such that changing this phonetic feature can yield a different word (consider "pat" and "bat" in English); see Phoneme.
 Other examples in English of a phonemic contrast would be the difference between "leak" and "league;" the minimal difference of voicing between [k] and [g] does lead to the two utterances being perceived as different words.
 On the other hand, an example that is not a phonemic contrast in English is the difference between [sit] and [siːt] .
 In this case the minimal difference of vowel length is not a contrast in English and so those two forms would be perceived as different pronunciations of the same word "seat".
