Terms for subject Environment (7657 entries)
diiselmootor diesel engine (An internal combustion engine operating on a thermodynamic cycle in which the ratio of compression of the air charge is sufficiently high to ignite the fuel subsequently injected into the combustion chamber)
dioksiin dioxin (A by-product formed during the preparation of the herbicide 2, 4, 5-T, and sometimes produced by the incineration of chlorinated organic compounds. It may also occur naturally and is distributed widely in the environment, except locally in extremely low concentrations. Substantial amounts were released by the industrial accident of Seveso in 1976)
dipter dipteran
direktiivide ülevõtmine transposition of directive
dispersioon dispersion (A distribution of finely divided particles in a medium)
DNA DNA (The principal material of inheritance. It is found in chromosomes and consists of molecules that are long unbranched chains made up of many nucleotides. Each nucleotide is a combination of phosphoric acid, the monosaccharide deoxyribose and one of four nitrogenous bases: thymine, cytosine, adenine or guanine. The number of possible arrangements of nucleotides along the DNA chain is immense. Usually two DNA strands are linked together in parallel by specific base-pairing and are helically coiled. Replication of DNA molecules is accomplished by separation of the two strands, followed by the building up of matching strands by means of base-pairing, using the two halves as templates. By a mechanism involving RNA, the structure of DNA is translated into the structure of proteins during their synthesis from amino acids)
DNA reproduktiivne käitlemine reproductive manipulation (The technology involved in altering in some prescribed way the genetic constitution of an organism. Typically "useful" genes, i.e. very short sequence of DNA, are isolated from one organism and inserted into the DNA of a bacterium of yeast. These microorganisms multiply rapidly and can be cultured easily, enabling large quantities of the gene product to be obtained. Reproductive manipulation has been used for the large-scale production of antibiotics, enzymes, and hormones (e.g. insulin). Organisms into which foreign DNA has been artificially inserted are called "transgenic organisms")
DNA-süntees recombinant DNA technology (Techniques and practical applications associated with recombinant DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid artificially introduced into a cell that alters the genotype and phenotype of the cell and is replicated along with the natural DNA))
doktriin doctrine (A rule, principle, theory, or tenet of the law, as the doctrine of merger, the doctrine of relation, etc.; law)
dokumendikeskus documentation centre (Centre for assembling, coding, and disseminating recorded knowledge comprehensively treated as an integral procedure, utilizing various techniques for giving documentary information maximum accessibility and usability)

dokumenditüüp document type (Any one of a number of diverse classes of written, printed or digitized items furnishing information or evidence, and distinguished by content, form or function)
dokument document (Material of any kind, regardless of physical form, which furnishes information, evidence or ideas, including items such as contracts, bills of sale, letters, audio and video recordings, and machine readable data files)
dokumentaalfilm documentary film (Any motion picture or movie in which an actual event, era or life story is presented factually, with little or no fiction)
dokumentatsioon documentation (The process of accumulating, classifying and disseminating information, often to support the claim or data given in a book or article)
dokumentatsiooni indekseerimine indexing of documentation (A service which creates a special contents list, containing titles, authors, abstracts, subject headings and other information, to describe a large number of publications and to be used in searchable, machine-readable (or printed) look-up tables)
