| Terms for subject Environment (5171 entries) |
| 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) | landbruksskogbruk | |
| agroindustry (Industry dealing with the supply, processing and distribution of farm products) | landbruksindustri | |
| agrometeorology (The study of the interaction between meteorological and hydrological factors, on the one hand, and agriculture in the widest sense, including horticulture, animal husbandry and forestry, on the other) | landbruksmeteorologi | |
| agronomic value (The monetary or material worth at which buyers and sellers agree to do business for agricultural goods and services) | agronomisk verdi | |
| agronomy (The principles and procedures of soil management and of field crop and special-purpose plant improvement, management, and production) | agronomi | |
| agrosystem (Ecosystem dominated by the continuous agricultural intervention of man) | agrosystem | |
| aid policy (A course of action adopted and pursued by government or some other organization that promotes or determines the allocation of assistance, support or relief, often from one country to another) | hjelpepolitikk | |
| AIDS (aquired immune deficiency syndrome; The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is caused by HIV-virus manifested by opportunistic infections and/or malignancies, and the mortality rate is very high. The syndrome results from a breakdown of the body's disease-fighting mechanism that leaves it defenceless against infections, such as pulmonary tuberculosis, Pneumocystis pneumonia, certain blood infections, candidiasis, invasive cervical cancer, Kaposi's sarcoma or any of over 20 other indicator diseases. No effective treatment is available. A striking feature of AIDS is the wide spectrum and frequency of infections with life-threatening pathogens seldom seen in normal hosts. The illness may begin with insidious signs and symptoms, and the process may be more diffuse than when the same conditions are seen in other immune-compromised patients. Four patterns of disease occur in AIDS patients. The pulmonary pattern, the central nervous system pattern, the gastrointestinal pattern, and the pattern of fever of unknown origin. Most patientswho recover from a given opportunistic infection subsequently either have a relapse or develop a new type of infection. Many patients continue to have a wasting syndrome and experience such infections as oral thrush. Feelings of depression and isolation are common among AIDS patients and can be intensified if health care workers display fear of the syndrome) | AIDS | |
| air (A predominantly mechanical mixture of a variety of individual gases forming the earth's enveloping atmosphere) | luft | |
| air conditioning (A system or process for controlling the temperature and sometimes the humidity and purity of the air in a house, etc.) | luftkondisjonering | |
| air movement (Air movements within the Earth's atmospheric circulation; also called planetary winds. Two main components are recognized: first, the latitudinal meridional component due to the Coriolis force (a deflecting motion or force discussed by G.G. de Coriolis in 1835. The rotation of the Earth causes a body moving across its surface to be deflected to the right in the N hemisphere and to the left in the S hemisphere); and secondly, the longitudinal component and the vertical movement, resulting largely from varying pressure distributions due to differential heating and cooling of the Earth's surface) | luftbevegelse | |
| air pollutant (Any pollutant agent or combination of such agents, including any physical, chemical, biological, radioactive substance or matter which is emitted into or otherwise enters the ambient air and can, in high enough concentrations, harm humans, animals, vegetation or material) | luftforurensende stoff | |
| air pollution (Presence in the atmosphere of large quantities of gases, solids and radiation produced by the burning of natural and artificial fuels, chemical and other industrial processes and nuclear explosions) | luftforurensning | |
| air quality (The degree to which air is polluted; the type and maximum concentration of man-produced pollutants that should be permitted in the atmosphere) | luftkvalitet | |
| air quality control (The measurement of ambient air-pollution concentrations in order to determine whether there is a problem in a given region) | luftkvalitetskontroll | |
| air quality management (Regulate and plan and work toward the accomplishment of completion of stated goals, objectives and mission pertaining to air quality) | luftkvalitetsforvaltning | |
| air quality monitoring (Regular checking and recording of air quality in a given area. The following pollutants must be considered: carbon monoxide, benzene, butadiene, lead, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulates) | luftkvalitetsovervåking | |
| air safety (Any measure, technique or design intended to reduce the risk of harm posed by either moving vehicles or projectiles above the earth's surface or pollutants to the earth's atmosphere) | luftsikkerhet | |
| air temperature (The temperature of the atmosphere which represents the average kinetic energy of the molecular motion in a small region and is defined in terms of a standard or calibrated thermometer in thermal equilibrium with the air) | lufttemperatur | |
| air traffic (Aircraft moving in flight or on airport runways) | lufttrafikk |
