muilas soap (A cleansing agent, manufactured in bars, granules, flakes, or liquid form, made from a mixture of the sodium salts of various fatty acids of natural oils and fats)
muitinės reglamentas customs regulation (A body of rules or orders generally issued by the executive authority of a government to establish and direct the taxes, duties or tariffs payable upon merchandise exported or imported)
muito mokesčiai customs (Duties charged upon commodities on their importation into, or exportation out of, a country)
muito tarifas customs tariff (An official list or schedule setting forth the duties imposed by a government on imported or exported goods)
mulčias mulch (A layer of organic material applied to the surface of the ground to retain moisture; mulching is the spreading of leaves, straw or other loose material on the ground to prevent erosion, evaporation or freezing of plant roots)
municipalinė šildymo įmonė district heating plant (Plant for heating all houses in a district; it consists of a large, efficient, centralized boiler plant or "waste" steam from a power station. The heat is distributed by means of low-pressure steam or high-temperature water to the consumers)
municipalinė vandens paskirstymo sistema municipal water distribution system (Any publicly or privately organized setup in which water is processed at a central plant and delivered to homes and businesses via water pipes)
municipalinis šildymas district heating (The supply of heat, either in the form of steam or hot water, from a central source to a group of buildings)
municipalinis sąvartynas municipal dumping (Place where a town's refuse is disposed of after it has been collected)
municipalinis vandens tiekimas municipal water management (Municipal water management deals with aspects of water supply and water technology concerning planning, processing, building and producing. It also concerns the problems of waste water collection, sewage disposal, waste water treatment in rural areas, water economising measures, water body quality management)
mutacija mutation (A change in the chemical constitution of the DNA in the chromosomes of an organism: the changes are normally restricted to individual genes, but occasionally involve serious alteration to whole chromosomes. When a mutation occurs in gametes or gametocytes an inherited change may be produced in the characteristics of the organisms that develop from them. Mutation is one of the ways in which genetic variation is produced in organisms. A somatic mutation is one that occurs to a body cell, and is consequently past on to all the cells derived from it by mitosis. Natural mutations, at this stage of biological evolution, when they occur in the cells of higher animals, almost always produce deleterious characteristics. Both natural and artificial mutations can be brought about by ionizing radiation (hence the genetic and carcinogenic dangers of nuclear weapons) and by certain chemical substances called mutagens)
mutagenas mutagen (An agent that raises the frequency of mutation above the spontaneous rate. An agent that causes changes to plants and animals, particularly to their genetic material and especially at the time of reproduction. Certain chemicals and forms of radiation are powerful mutagens that damage the DNA, or genetic material in the centre of every cell of a living organism)
mutageniškumas mutagenicity (The property of chemical or physical agents of inducing changes in genetic material that are transmitted during cell division)
mutageniškumo tyrimas mutagenicity testing (Testing the property of a substance of being able to induce genetic mutation)
mutageninė medžiaga mutagenic substance (Agents that induce a permanent change in the genetic material)
mutantas mutant (An individual bearing an allele that has undergone mutation and is expressed in the phenotype)
mutavusių mikroorganizmų paskleidimas mutated micro-organisms release (The release of mutated micro-organisms creates the risk that they may exhibit some previously unknown pathogenicity, might take over from some naturally occurring bacteria (possibly having other positive functions which thus are lost) or pass on some unwanted trait to such indigenous bacteria. There is also concern that an uncontrolled genetic mutation could produce from such an engineered microorganism, a form with hazardous consequences for the environment)
muziejus museum (A place or building where objects of historical, artistic, or scientific interest are exhibited, preserved or studied)
muzika music (The artistic organization of sounds or tones that expresses ideas and emotions through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony and tonal color)
