    Homogeneity and heterogeneity; only ' b ' is homogeneous Homogeneity and heterogeneity are concepts relating to the uniformity of a substance, process or image.A homogeneous feature is uniform in composition or character (i.e. color, shape, size, weight, height, distribution, texture, language, income, disease, temperature, radioactivity, architectural design, etc.); one that is heterogeneous ...

  3. Opposite - Wikipedia

    The term antonym (and the related antonymy) is commonly taken to be synonymous with opposite, but antonym also has other more restricted meanings. Graded (or gradable) antonyms are word pairs whose meanings are opposite and which lie on a continuous spectrum (hot, cold).

  4. Micromechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micromechanics

    Because most heterogeneous materials show a statistical rather than a deterministic arrangement of the constituents, the methods of micromechanics are typically based on the concept of the representative volume element (RVE). An RVE is understood to be a sub-volume of an inhomogeneous medium that is of sufficient size for providing all ...

    Heterogeneous conditions in medicine are those conditions which have several causes/etiologies; A heterogeneous taxon, a taxon that contains a great variety of individuals or sub-taxa; usually this implies that the taxon is an artificial grouping; Genetic heterogeneity, multiple origins causing the same disorder in different individuals.

  6. Crystal growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_growth

    Generally, heterogeneous nucleation takes place more quickly since the foreign particles act as a scaffold for the crystal to grow on, thus eliminating the necessity of creating a new surface and the incipient surface energy requirements. Heterogeneous nucleation can take place by several methods.

    A more modern definition of heterojunction is the interface between any two solid-state materials, including crystalline and amorphous structures of metallic, insulating, fast ion conductor and semiconducting materials.

  9. Heterologous - Wikipedia

    In structural biology, a heterologous association is a binding mode between the protomers of a protein structure. [3] In a heterologous association, each protomer contributes a different set of residues to the binding interface.
