| Terms for subject Environment (5171 entries) |
| gasskromatografi | gas chromatography (A separation technique involving passage of a gaseous moving phase through a column containing a fixed phase; it is used principally as a quantitative analytical technique for volatile compounds) | |
| gassmotor | gas engine (An internal combustion engine that uses gaseous fuel) | |
| gassrensing | gas purification (Removal of pollutants or contaminants from waste incineration or other combustion processes) | |
| gassreservoar | gas reservoir (Large tank for storing coal gas or natural gas) | |
| gassresirkulering | vapour recovery system (Gas feedback device: while refuelling gasoline vapors are sucked off and led back again into the storage tank) | |
| gassrørledning | gas pipeline (A long pipe, especially underground, used to transport gas over long distances) | |
| gassrørledningsnettverk | gas network (Interconnected system of pipes for the distribution and supply of gas) | |
| gassutvinning fra kull | coal gasification (Process of conversion of coal to a gaseous product which is used as fuel in electric power stations) | |
| gassverk | gaswork (Place where gas, especially coal gas, is made) | |
| gastropode | gastropod (Any mollusc of the class Gastropoda, typically having a flattened muscular foot for locomotion and a head that bears stalked eyes) | |
| gaterengjøring | street cleaning (The process of removing dirt, litter or other unsightly materials from city or town streets) | |
| GEF | Global Environment Facility (An international organization established in 1990 to provide practical assistance to governments in achieving environmental improvements. The GEF is managed by the World Bank, which contributes 2/3 of its funds, the remaining 1/3 being controlled by the United Nations Development Programme) | |
| genbank | 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) | |
| generell kjemi | general chemistry (The study of the elements and the compounds they form) | |
| generelt forvaltningstiltak | 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) | |
| genetikk | genetics (The science that is concerned with the study of biological inheritance) | |
| genetisk effekt | genetic effect (Inheritable change, chiefly mutations produced by chemical substances, herbicides, radiations, etc.) | |
| genetisk informasjon | genetic information (The information for protein synthesis contained in the nucleotide sequences of the DNA polynucleotide chain) | |
| genetisk mangfold | genetic diversity (The variation between individuals and between populations within a species) | |
| genetisk ressurs | genetic resource (The gene pool in natural and cultivated stocks of organisms that are available for human exploitation. It is desirable to maintain as diverse a range of organisms as possible, particularly of domesticated cultivars and their ancestors, in order to maintain a wide genetic base. The wider the genetic base, the greater the capacity for adaptation to particular environmental conditions) |
