| Terms for subject Environment (6716 entries) |
| gaseous air pollutant (Uncondensed or volatile gases, usually comprised of chemical compounds, discharged to the atmosphere) | kontaminant atmosferiku gassuż | |
| gaseous phase pyrolysis | piroliżi f'fażi gassuża | |
| gaseous pollutant | inkwinant gassuż | |
| gaseous state (State of matter in which the matter concerned occupies the whole of its container irrespective of its quantity) | stat gassuż | |
| gasification (1. Any chemical or heat process used to convert a substance to a gas. 2. The production of gaseous fuels by reacting hot carbonaceous materials with air, steam or oxygen. The process takes place at high temperature. The gasification product is a mixture of combustible gases and tar compounds, together with particles and water vapour. Depending on the gasification method, the proportion of components varies, but common to all the processes is that the gas has to be purified before it can be used directly in a gas engine or a gas turbine) | gassifikazzjoni | |
| gasohol (A mixture of 80% or 90% petrol with 20% or 10% ethyl alcohol, for use as a fuel in internal combustion engines) | gasoħol | |
| gasoline engine (An internal combustion engine that uses a mixture of air and gasoline vapour as a fuel) | magna tal-gażolina/ petrol | |
| gastropod (Any mollusc of the class Gastropoda, typically having a flattened muscular foot for locomotion and a head that bears stalked eyes) | gasteropodu | |
| gaswork (Place where gas, especially coal gas, is made) | impjant għall-produzzjoni tal-gass | |
| gateway deposit account | kont ta' depożitu gateway | |
| gateway quantity | kwantità gateway | |
| Gaucho | imidakloprid | |
| gender issue (A point, matter or dispute concerning the capabilities, societal roles or other differences and divisions between women and men, especially the relative weight of biological and physical difference versus culture and socialization as a cause of those distinctions) | relazzjoni bejn is-sessi | |
| gene (A unit of heredity composed of DNA occupying a fixed position on a chromosome. A gene may determine a characteristic of an individual by specifying a polypeptide chain that forms a protein or part of a protein (structural gene); or repress such operation (repressor gene)) | ġene | |
| gene bank (Storehouses of seeds or vegetative tissue, kept in low humidity and temperature, to help maintain genetic diversity. Sometimes known as seed banks or germ plasm banks. their contents mostly originate from a wide range of primitive strains and wild crop varieties. The International Board for Plant Genetic Resources (IBPGR), which was established in 1974, promotes the collection, documentation, evaluation, conservation and eventual use of genetic resources of significant plant species. Gene banks are the subject of international controversy because they contain seeds that have mostly been acquired from the developing countries by the industrially rich countries, where they have been used in breeding programmes to develop new strains. Instead of taking decades over a traditional plant breeding programme by fertilization, it is now possible to manipulate directly the genes of plants, creating genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which are plants modified to give a higher resistance to disease and improved growth and yields and, therefore, increase the profit of the plant breeder and farmer) | bank ġenetiku | |
| general administrative order (An administrative mandate outlining the process by which a concept, plan, decree or law is to be put into actual practice by a specific organization or government agency) | ordni ta' eżekuzzjoni | |
| general chemistry (The study of the elements and the compounds they form) | kimika ġenerali | |
| general education (Informal learning or formal instruction with broad application to human existence beyond the domain of any particular subject or discipline, often equated with liberal arts in the university setting and contrasted to courses required for a specific major or program) | edukazzjoni ġenerali | |
| genetic diversity (The variation between individuals and between populations within a species) | diversità ġenetika | |
| genetic effect (Inheritable change, chiefly mutations produced by chemical substances, herbicides, radiations, etc.) | effett ġenetiku |
