Spanish translation of homo

  • homo: an anthropology term which refers to the only representative of Homo,the genus of primates that includes humans,that remains today
    Category: Statistics

  • homochronous: the essential characteristic of time-scales or signals such that their corresponding significant instants have a constant,but uncontrolled,time relationship with each other
    Category: News-systems and communications

  • homodyne: a detection based on the use of only one frequency
    Category: Electrical engineering and energy

  • homodyne: a method of reception of modulated waves in which a local oscillator is synchronised in correct phase relation with the signal carrier frequency
    Category: News-systems and communications

  • homoeotransplantat: a graft of tissue obtained from the body of another animal of the same species but with genotype differing from that of the recipient; tissue graft from a donor of one genotype to a host of another genotype, host and donor being members of the same species. host and donor are called 'allogenic'
    Category: Medicine

  • homogamy: inbreeding,commonly due to spatial isolation
    Category: Botany and zoology

  • homogamy: the state of having stamens and pistils maturing in a flower simultaneously
    Category: Botany and zoology

  • homogenate: a suspension of animal tissue that is ground in the all-glass 'homogenizer' described by Potter and Elvehjem in 1936
    Category: Chemistry

  • homogeneity: this term is used in statistics in its ordinary sense,but most frequently occurs in connection with samples from different populations which may or may not be identical.If the populations are identical they are said to be homogeneous,and by extension,the sample data are also said to be homogeneous.In a more restricted sense populations may be said to be homogeneous in respect of some of their constants,e.g.k populations with identical means but different dispersions are homogeneous in their means
    Category: Mathematics

  • homogeneous: consisting of elements of like nature; of the same kind, of a uniform quality throughout
    Category: Medicine

  • homogeneous: this term is used in statistics in its common sense (i.e. of the same kind), but most frequently occurs in connection with samples from populations which may or may notbe different. If the populations are not significantly different they are assumed to be homogeneous and by extension the sample data are also assumed to be homogeneous
    Category: Statistics

  • homogenise: treatment results in uniform dispersion of fat globules and prevents formation of cream layer
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • homogenised: treatment results in uniform dispersion of fat globules and prevents formation of cream layer
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • homogeniser: milk processing machine which breaks the fat up into fine particles which are more readily digestible and which also remain longer in a state of emulsion without the formation of cream
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • homogenization: this treatment results in a uniform dispersion of finely divided fat globules in milk and prevents the formation of a cream layer on standing.The process consists in pumping the milk under high pressure through special valves which divide the normal fat globules into many smaller ones.
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • homogenizing: a high-temperature annealing to reduce or suppress the heterogeneities in chemical composition due to segregation
    Category: Iron and steel industries

  • homogenous: core materials so distributed that the neutron characteristics of the reactor are homogenous
    Category: Nuclear industry (with applied atomic and nuclear physics)

  • homograde: it denotes a qualitative variate,i.e.an attribute
    Category: Mathematics

  • homograph: word or group of words having the same graphical form but a different meaning from another word or group of words ex.:wind 1(air)and wind 2(rotate)
    Category: Language and literature

  • homojunction: a single junction(in a laser diode),i.e.,a single region of shift in doping from positive to negative majority carrier regions,or vice versa,and a change in refractive index,all at one boundary
    Category: Electrical engineering and energy

  • homokinetic: transmission by linear input-output relationship,using several classes of gears,toothed wheels,cylindrical and conical gears,etc
    Category: Automation (includes telecommunications and computers)

  • homonym: words or groups of words having the same form but different meanings
    Category: General

  • homonymous: hemianopia involving the nasal half of the visual field of one eye and the temporal half of the visual field of the other eye
    Category: Medicine

  • homonymy: the quality of two or more terms having the same graphic or phonic form but different meanings
    Category: Language and literature

  • homophone: homophones are homonyms having the same phonic form,ex.:son-sun
    Category: Language and literature

  • homoplastic: a graft between individuals of the same species or between parts of the same individual
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • homopolar: a machine in which the magnetic flux passes in the same direction from one member to the other over the whole of a single airgap area
    Category: Electrical engineering and energy

  • homopolar: a component identical in each term of Xm,or of Xm,in particular,the homopolar component of XF is X index 1,0= X index 2,0=...= Xm,o= XO,or in normalised components,X index 1,0= X index 2,0=...= Xm,o= 1/square root m Xo
    Category: Electrical engineering and energy

  • homopolar: a linear synchronous motor type in which alternating current and direct current functions are part of the stationary motor side. The moving motor side is made of steel and has no coil, therefore allowing high speeds
    Category: Transport

  • homopolar: a solid rotor machine without commutators or permanent magnets
    Category: Electrical engineering and energy

  • homoscedastic: in a biavariate distribution,the graph of the variance of arrays of one variate against the corresponding values of the other variate is called a scedastic curve.If the variance of one variate is the same for all fixed values of the other,the distribution is said to be homoscedastic in the first variate
