The concept of dimension can be used in different ways. The term, when it comes from the Old French cote , refers to the clothing that the kings used in their public actions or to the body protection made with leather and iron .
The chain mail, in this sense, was armor formed with rings of iron, steel or bronze that interlocked in a pattern. The origin of these coats of mail , also called jacerine coats , is found in the Celtic peoples, who began to manufacture them in the 5th century BC.
This type of tunic or shirt , called chain mail, had an extension that usually reached below the waist. The most used pattern to assemble them consisted of each ring being linked with four others, although there were several. There was also the so-called mail cap , a kind of hood made in the same way that was generally used to complement the helmet or replace the helmet.
It is important to highlight the great resistance of chain mail, in addition to the flexibility it offered to soldiers on the battlefield and during long journeys on horseback. Older versions of the armor consisted of a few rigid pieces, which weighed much more and allowed much less mobility. In addition to these functional advantages, we must not overlook that it was much more economical to manufacture than the previous ones, since it required less metal per unit.
Although it is believed that the Celtic people created it, in the Koran there are certain indications that the first person to have used this type of protection was King David. Its use extended until the 16th century.
If, however, cota derives from the Latin quota , it can refer to a quota (a proportional part or an amount that must be paid), to a level or to a height . For example: “It is expected that, during the weekend, the snow level will drop to 300 meters in altitude” , “The level of the dam will have to increase so that the neighbors do not suffer a significant decrease in the water supply” , “The Central Bank analyzes modifying the value of the currency” .
The altitude reached by a point located on a horizontal plane, which is used as a reference, is called elevation. In a technical drawing, the representation of certain characteristics of an object (dimensions, distances, etc.) is called a dimension or dimension line .
In the field of algorithm analysis , the function that is used as the upper bound of another if the argument tends to infinity is known as an asymptotic upper bound . It is usually expressed as O(g(x)) , according to Landau notation (created specifically for the comparison of functions so that the asymptotic lower , asymptotic upper , and asymptotic fitted bounds are noted).
This formula is read "Order of g(x)", and we can say that it is a function belonging to this order when a positive constant represents the point that cannot be exceeded with any of its variables. The function is always below g , except when the constant factor is given as a value .
In Colombia , on the other hand, there is a municipality called Cota . It is part of the department of Cundinamarca and has a population of about 25,000 inhabitants. In Portugal , Cota is the name of a parish that belongs to the district of Viseu .
With respect to the term freguesia , it is worth mentioning that it is the name given to administrative organizations belonging to a municipality, for example, in so-called Lusophone countries (those in which the official language is Portuguese). Other forms by which the freguesia is known (in addition to its version with an accent on the I , freguesía ), are district, parish , neighborhood and district.
