"in linear dimensions" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
You can use it when referring to any length measurement expressed in one dimension, such as a line, rope, or ruler. For example, you might say, "The picture frame measured 10 inches in linear dimensions."
The CMM measurements showed shrinkage in head diameter while positive deviation has been observed in linear dimensions before vapour smoothing with maximum impact of orientation angle.
Electronic and optical properties of small quantum dots (QDs) of tetrahedral symmetry up to 1 nm in linear dimensions, composed of Ga, In and As atoms, and obtained by application of the first-principles, many-body quantum theoretical methods are discussed.
The pharaoh, Indian and cape eagle-owls and great horned owl are all broadly similar in size to each other but all are considerably smaller than the Eurasian eagle-owl, which averages at least 15-30% larger in linear dimensions and 30-50% larger in body mass than these other related species, possibly as the eagle-owls adapted to warmer climates and smaller prey.
This adult is 12% larger in linear dimensions than the female skeleton, on average, has canine teeth that are 20% larger, and is interpreted as male.
The second most common dental taxon is the bunodont metatherian Thylacotinga bartholomaii [14], which is considerably less common than D. murgonensis and is also approximately three times larger in linear dimensions (measurements taken from [14] and [13]) and is therefore far too large for the Tingamarran petrosals and tarsals described here (see Table S1, S2, Figure S1, S2).
Unidirectional specimens showed a decreasing tensile strength with increasing specimen size, with a reduction of 14% over a factor of 8 change in linear dimension.
The reflector system, involving as it does a structure comparable to a wavelength in linear dimension, is not susceptible to traditional high- or low-frequency approximate methods of computation.
If the bacterium were expanded by 25-fold in linear dimension, giving it an equivalent volume to a protozoan, the surface area would increase 625-fold.
If the bacterium were scaled up to the size of a large amoeba (a 50-fold increase in linear dimension) then the energy per gene would be a remarkable 230,000-fold less than the amoeba.
To a first approximation, the threshold in linear dimension between regularity and irregularity of amphibian cleavage appears to be somewhere between 2 and 3 millimeters - similar to the size threshold in capacity of Stentor-masses to regulate to the normal Stentor form (and concomitantly the normal capacity to divide).
The size of the epithelial defect was measured in two linear dimensions, the longest linear diameter and the largest one perpendicular to it, within the confines of the epithelial defect with the help of fluorescein staining and a standard slit lamp under 10x magnification [ 24].
