| Terms for subject Environment (6972 entries) |
| detergent | detergent | |
| detoksikatsioon | detoxification (The act or process of removing a poison or the toxic properties of a substance in the body) | |
| detsentraliseerimine | decentralisation (Basic organizational leadership concept and process of shifting and delegating power and authority from a higher level to subordinate levels within the administrative/managerial hierarchy in order to promote independence, responsibility, and quicker decision-making in applying or interpreting policies and procedures to the needs of these levels) | |
| detsibell | decibel (A unit used to express relative difference on power, usually between acoustic or electric signals, equal to ten times the common logarithm of the ratio of the two level) | |
| diafragma | membrane (A thin tissue that encloses or lines biological cells, organs, or other structures. It consists of a double layer of lipids with protein molecules between the two layers. Membranes are permeable to water and fat-soluble substances but not to such polar molecules as sugars) | |
| dialüüs | dialysis (A process of selective diffusion through a membrane; usually used to separate low-molecular-weight solutes which diffuse through the membrane from the colloidal and high-molecular-weight solutes which do not) | |
| diatomee | diatom (Unicellular algae, some of which are colonial, green or brownish in colour (but all contain chlorophyll) and with siliceous and often highly sculptured cell walls. Diatoms make up much of the producer level in marine and freshwater food chains, and they have contributed to the formation of oil reserves. Deposits of diatomaceous earths were formed by the accumulation of diatom cell walls) | |
| didaktika | didactics (The art or science of teaching) | |
| diferentseerumine | differentiation (The development of cells so that they are capable of performing specialized functions in the organs and tissues of the organisms to which they belong) | |
| difusioon | diffusion (The spontaneous movement and scattering of particles (atoms and molecules), of liquid, gases, and solids) | |
| digitaalpilditöötlus | digital image processing technique (Techniques employed in the calibration of image data, the correction or reduction of errors occurring during capture or transmission of the data and in various types of image enhancement-operations which increase the ability of the analyst to recognize features of interest) | |
| digiteerimine | digitizing (The process of converting data to a form used in computers, transmitted or stored with digital technology and expressed as a string of 0's and 1's) | |
| digiteerimistehnika | GIS digital technique (The transformation to digital form of data collected by remote sensing, traditional field and documentary methods and of existing historical data such as paper maps, charts, and publications) | |
| diiselkütus | diesel fuel (Heavy oil residue used as fuel for certain types of diesel engines) | |
| diiselmootor | diesel engine (An internal combustion engine operating on a thermodynamic cycle in which the ratio of compression of the air charge is sufficiently high to ignite the fuel subsequently injected into the combustion chamber) | |
| dioksiin | dioxin (A by-product formed during the preparation of the herbicide 2, 4, 5-T, and sometimes produced by the incineration of chlorinated organic compounds. It may also occur naturally and is distributed widely in the environment, except locally in extremely low concentrations. Substantial amounts were released by the industrial accident of Seveso in 1976) | |
| dipter | dipteran | |
| direktiivide ülevõtmine | transposition of directive | |
| dispersioon | dispersion (A distribution of finely divided particles in a medium) | |
| DNA | DNA (The principal material of inheritance. It is found in chromosomes and consists of molecules that are long unbranched chains made up of many nucleotides. Each nucleotide is a combination of phosphoric acid, the monosaccharide deoxyribose and one of four nitrogenous bases: thymine, cytosine, adenine or guanine. The number of possible arrangements of nucleotides along the DNA chain is immense. Usually two DNA strands are linked together in parallel by specific base-pairing and are helically coiled. Replication of DNA molecules is accomplished by separation of the two strands, followed by the building up of matching strands by means of base-pairing, using the two halves as templates. By a mechanism involving RNA, the structure of DNA is translated into the structure of proteins during their synthesis from amino acids) |
