| Terms for subject Environment (15072 entries) |
| jod | iodine (A nonmetallic halogen element; the poisonous, corrosive dark plates or granules are readily sublimed; insoluble in water, soluble in common solvents; used as germicide and antiseptic, in dyes, tinctures, and pharmaceuticals, in engraving lithography, and as a catalyst and analytical reagent) | |
| Johannesburgkoalitionen för förnybar energi | Johannesburg Renewable Energy Coalition | |
| jokk | brook | |
| jonbudget | ion budget | |
| jonbytare | ion exchanger (A permanent insoluble material (usually a synthetic resin) which contains ions that will exchange reversibly with other ions in a surrounding solution. Both cation and anion exchangers are used in water conditioning. The volume of an ion exchanger is measured in cubic liters of exchanger after the exchanger bed has been backwashed and drained, and has settled into place) | |
| jonbytare | ion exchanger | |
| jonbyte | ion exchange (The process in which ions are exchanged between a solution and an insoluble solid, usually a resin) | |
| jonbyteskapacitet | exchange capacity | |
| joner | ion (An electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or more electrons) | |
| joner | ion | |
| jonisationsmetod | ionisation method | |
| jonisationsmetod | ionization method | |
| joniserande strålning | ionising radiation (Radiation that is capable of energizing atoms sufficiently to remove electrons from them. In this state atoms become more reactive, so that ionizing radiation increases chemical activity and in this way produces biological effects, including effects that involve alterations induced in DNA. X-rays and gamma-rays are the only electromagnetic waves that cause ionization in biological material) | |
| jonkromatografi | ion chromatography | |
| jonosfär | ionosphere (A region of the earth's atmosphere, extending from about 60 to 1000 kilometers above the earth's surface, in which there is a high concentration of free electrons formed as a result of ionizing radiation entering the atmosphere from space) | |
| jord | soil (The top layer of the land surface of the earth that is composed of disintegrated rock particles, humus, water and air) | |
| jord- och skogsbruk | agroforestry (The interplanting of farm crops and trees, especially leguminous species. In semiarid regions and on denuded hillsides, agroforestry helps control erosion and restores soil fertility, as well as supplying valuable food and commodities at the same time) | |
| jordåtervinning | land restoration (The treatment of any unusable land usually by filling with refuse or levelling until the land can be brought into productive use) | |
| jordåtervinning | land restoration | |
| jordbävning | earthquake (The violent shaking of the ground produced by deep seismic waves, beneath the epicentre, generated by a sudden decrease or release in a volume of rock of elastic strain accumulated over a long time in regions of seismic activity (tectonic earthquake). The magnitude of an earthquake is represented by the Richter scale; the intensity by the Mercalli scale) |
