| Terms for subject Environment (5576 entries) |
| biologisk tilgjengelighet | bio-availability (The extent to which a drug or other substance is taken up by a specific tissue or organ after administration) | |
| biologisk utvikling | biological development (The action of growing of living organisms) | |
| biologisk våpen | biological weapon (Living organisms (or infective material derived from them) which are intended to cause disease or death in animals, plants, or man, and which depend for their effects on their ability to multiply in the person, animal or plant attacked. Various living organisms (for example, rickettsiae, viruses and fungi), as well as bacteria, can be used as weapons) | |
| biologisk virkning | biological effect (Biological effects include allergic reactions, respiratory disorders, hypersensitivity diseases and infectious diseases and can be caused by a variety of contaminants and pollutants) | |
| biologisk virkning av forurensning | biological effect of pollution (Effects of pollution on living systems) | |
| bioluminescens | bioluminescence (The production of light of various colors by living organisms (e.g. some bacteria and fungi, glow-worms and many marine animals). Luminescence is produced by a biochemical reaction, which is catalyzed by an enzyme. In some animals the light is used as a mating signal; in others it may be a protective device. In deep-sea forms luminous organs may serve as lanterns) | |
| biomarkør | biomarker (A normal metabolite that, when present in abnormal concentrations in certain body fluids, can indicate the presence of a particular disease or toxicological condition) | |
| biomasse | biomass (Biomass refers strictly speaking to the total weight of all the living things in an ecosystem. However, it has come to refer to the amount of plant and crop material that could be produced in an ecosystem for making biofuels and other raw materials used in industry, for example) | |
| bioreaktor | bioreactor (A container, such as a large fermentation chamber, for growing living organisms that are used in the industrial production of substances such as pharmaceuticals, antibodies, or vaccines) | |
| biorytme | biorhythm (A cyclically recurring pattern of physiological states in an organism or organ, such as alpha rhythm or circadian rhythm; believed by some to affect physical and mental states and behaviour) | |
| biosfære | biosphere (That part of the Earth and atmosphere capable of supporting living organisms) | |
| biosfærisk reservat | biosphere reserve (Protected land and coastal areas that are approved under the Man and Biosphere programme (MAB) in conjunction with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). Each reserve has to have an ecosystem that is recognized for its diversity and usefulness as a conservation unit. The reserves have at least one core area where there can be no interference with the natural ecosystem. A transition zone surrounds this and within it scientific research is allowed. Beyond this is a buffer zone which protects the whole reserve from agricultural, industrial and urban development. Biosphere reserves and buffer zones were regarded as examples of a new generation of conservation techniques) | |
| biosikkerhet | biosafety (The combination of knowledge, techniques and equipment used to manage or contain potentially infectious materials or biohazards in the laboratory environment, to reduce or prevent harm to laboratory workers, other persons and the environment) | |
| biosyntese | biosynthesis (Production, by synthesis or degradation, of a chemical compound by a living organism) | |
| bioteknikk | biological engineering (The application of engineering principles and techniques to living organisms. It is largely concerned with the design of replacement body parts, such as limbs, heart valves, etc.) | |
| bioteknologi | biotechnology (A combination of biology and technology. It is used to describe developments in the application of biological organisms for commercial and scientific purposes. So "bio" stands for biology and the science of life, and "tech" stands for technology, or the tools and techniques that the biotechnologists have in their workbox. Those tools and techniques include microorganisms and a range of methods for manipulating them, such as genetic engineering) | |
| bioteknologi i landbruket | agricultural biotechnology | |
| bioteknologisk fare | biotechnological hazard (A danger to humans, animals or the environment posed by the application of advanced biological techniques in the manufacture of industrial products, such as the risk or harm that results from exposure to infectious bacteria, viruses or fungi) | |
| biotisk faktor | biotic factor (The influence upon the environment of organisms owing to the presence and activities of other organisms, as distinct from a physical, abiotic, environmental factor) | |
| biotisk indeks | biotic index (Scale for showing the quality of an environment by indicating the types of organisms present in it (e.g. how clean a river is)) |
