| Terms for subject Environment (5576 entries) |
| use of waste as energy source | bruk av avfall som energikilde | |
| use of waste as material | bruk av avfall som materiale | |
| used water (Wastewater or utilized water from a home, community, farm or industry, which is often discharged after utilization) | brukt vann | |
| user advantage | brukerfordel | |
| utilisation of calorific value (Calorific value is the heat per unit mass produced by complete combustion of a given substance. Calorific values are used to express the energy values of fuels; usually these are expressed in megajoules per kilogram. They are also used to measure the energy content of foodstuffs; i.e. the energy produced when the food is oxidized in the body. The units here are kilojoules per gram. Calorific values are measured using a bomb calorimeter (apparatus consisting of a strong container in which the sample is sealed with excess oxygen and ignited electrically. The heat of combustion at constant volume can be calculated from the resulting rise in temperature)) | brennverdi-utnytting | |
| utilisation of pesticides (Use of chemical or biological substances to deliberately kill unwanted plants or animals) | bruk av bekjempingsmiddel | |
| vacuum industry | vakuumindustri | |
| valley (Any low-lying land bordered by higher ground; especially an elongate, relatively large, gently sloping depression of the Earth's surface, commonly situated between two mountains or between ranges of hills or mountains, and often containing a stream with an outlet. It is usually developed by stream erosion, but may be formed by faulting) | dal | |
| valued ecosystem component (An appraised, evaluated or estimated element or ingredient of a biological community and its non-living environmental surroundings) | verdsatt økosystemkomponent | |
| vanadium (A silvery-white, ductile metal resistant to corrosion; used in alloy steels and as an x-ray target) | vanadium | |
| vandalism (The deliberate or wanton destruction of personal or public property caused by a vandal) | vandalisme | |
| vanished species (Species which have disappeared from an area because of adverse environmental conditions) | forsvunnet art | |
| vapour pressure (The partial pressure of water vapour in the atmosphere. For a liquid or solid, the pressure of the vapour in equilibrium with the liquid or solid) | damptrykk | |
| vapour recovery system (Gas feedback device: while refuelling gasoline vapors are sucked off and led back again into the storage tank) | gassresirkulering | |
| variety collection (Assemblage of cultivated plants that are distinguished by any characteristics (morphology, physiology, etc.) significant for purposes of horticulture, agriculture or forestry) | variantsamling | |
| varnish (A transparent surface coating which is applied as a liquid and then changes to a hard solid; all varnishes are solutions of resinous materials in a solvent) | ferniss | |
| vector (One of the two major types of internal data organization used in GIS. Vector systems are based primarily on coordinate geometry and take advantage of the convenient division of spatial data into point, line, and polygon types. Vector structures are especially suited to storing definitions of spatial objects for which sharp boundaries exist or can be imposed) | vektor | |
| vector of human diseases (An agent or organism that acts as a carrier or transmitter of a human illness) | smittebærer | |
| vector to raster (Methods to convert remotely sensed raster data to vector format. A number of vector-to-raster and raster-to-vector conversion procedures have been developed and introduced to current releases of many GIS packages) | vektor til raster | |
| vegetable (Any of various herbaceous plants having parts that are used as food) | grønnsak |
