Terms for subject Environment (13739 entries)
hidrocarbură aromatică aromatic hydrocarbon (Hydrocarbons having an unsaturated ring containing alternating double and single bonds, especially containing a benzene ring)
hidrocarbură aromatică policiclică polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (Hydrocarbons containing two or more closed rings of atoms)
hidrocarbură clorurată chlorinated hydrocarbon (A class of persistent, broad-spectrum insecticides that linger in the environment and accumulate in the food chain. Among them are DDT, aldrin, dieldrin, heptachlor, chlordane, lindane, endrin, mirex, hexachloride, and toxaphene. In insects and other animals these compounds act primarily on the central nervous system. They also become concentrated in the fats of organisms and thus tend to produce fatty infiltration of the heart and fatty degeneration of the liver in vertebrates. In fishes they have the effect of preventing oxygen uptake, causing suffocation. They are also known to slow the rate of photosynthesis in plants. Their danger to the ecosystem resides in their rate stability and the fact that they are broad-spectrum poisons which are very mobile because of their propensity to stick to dust particles and evaporate with water into the atmosphere)
hidrocarbură halogenată halogenated hydrocarbon (One of a group of halogen derivatives of organic hydrogen and carbon containing compounds; the group includes monohalogen compounds (alkyl or aryl halides) and polyhalogen compounds that contain the same or different halogen atoms)
hidrocarbură policiclică polycyclic hydrocarbon (Hydrocarbon molecule with two or more nuclei; examples are naphtalene, with two benzene rings side by side, or diphenyl, with two bond-connected benzene rings. Also known as polynuclear hydrocarbon)
hidrocultură hydroculture (Growing plants without soil but in sand or vermiculite or other granular material, using a liquid solution of nutrients to feed them)
hidrofluorocarbură fluorinated hydrocarbon
hidrofluorocarbură fluorohydrocarbon
hidrofluorocarbură hydrofluorocarbon
hidrogen hydrogen (A flammable colourless gas that is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe. It occurs mainly in water and in most organic compounds and is used in the production of ammonia and other chemicals, in the hydrogenation of fats and oils, and in welding)
hidrogen sulfurat hydrogen sulphide (Flammable, poisonous gas with characteristic odour of rotten eggs, perceptible in air in a dilution of 0.002 mg/l. It is used as a reagent in chemical analysis; extremely hazardous; collapse, coma and death from respiratory failure may come within a few seconds after one or two inspirations; low concentrations produce irritation of conjunctiva and mucous membranes. Headache, dizziness, nausea, lassitude may appear after exposure, H2S)
hidrogeologie hydrogeology (The science dealing with the occurrence of surface and ground water, its utilization, and its functions in modifying the earth, primarily by erosion and deposition)
hidrografie hydrography (Science which deals with the measurement and description of the physical features of the oceans, lakes, rivers, and their adjoining coastal areas, with particular reference to their control and utilization)
hidroliză hydrolysis (1. Decomposition or alteration of a chemical substance by water. 2. In aqueous solutions of electrolytes, the reactions of cations with water to produce a weak base or of anions to produce a weak acid)
hidrologie hydrology (The science that treats the occurrence, circulation, distribution, and properties of the waters of the earth, and their reaction with the environment)
hidrometeorologie hydrometeorology (That part of meteorology of direct concern to hydrologic problems, particularly to flood control, hydroelectric power, irrigation, and similar fields of engineering and water resource)
hidrometrie hydrometry (The science and technology of measuring specific gravities, particularly of liquids)
hidrosferă hydrosphere (The waters of the Earth, as distinguished from the rocks (lithosphere), living things (biosphere), and the air (atmosphere). Includes the waters of the ocean; rivers, lakes, and other bodies of surface water in liquid form on the continents; snow, ice, and glaciers; and liquid water, ice, and water vapour in both the unsaturated and saturated zones below the land surface. Included by some, but excluded by others, is water in the atmosphere , which includes water vapour, clouds, and all forms of precipitation while still in the atmosphere)
himenopteră hymenopteran (Insects including bees, wasps, ants, and sawflies, having two pair of membranous wings and an ovipositor specialized for stinging, sawing or piercing)
hipertext hypertext (The organization of information units typically containing visible links that users can select or click with a mouse pointer or some other computer device to automatically retrieve or display other documents)
