  • golgi apparatus — an organelle, consisting of layers of flattened sacs, that takes up and processes secretory and synthetic products from the endoplasmic reticulum and then either releases the finished products into various parts of the cell cytoplasm or secretes them to the outside of the cell.
  • golgi-apparatus — an organelle, consisting of layers of flattened sacs, that takes up and processes secretory and synthetic products from the endoplasmic reticulum and then either releases the finished products into various parts of the cell cytoplasm or secretes them to the outside of the cell.
  • governing class — the social class that holds the power in a country
  • governmentalism — the trend toward expansion of the government's role, range of activities, or power.
  • governmentalist — one who promotes the philosophy of governmentalism
  • governmentality — (sociology) The organized practices (mentalities, rationalities, and techniques) through which subjects are governed and influenced.
  • governmentalize — (US) To bring a private entity under government control; to nationalize.
  • grade inflation — the awarding of higher grades than students deserve either to maintain a school's academic reputation or as a result of diminished teacher expectations.
  • gram's solution — (sometimes lowercase) a solution of iodine, potassium iodide, and water, used in staining bacteria.
  • gramophonically — in a gramophonic manner
  • grandiloquently — speaking or expressed in a lofty style, often to the point of being pompous or bombastic.
  • granulitization — the process whereby metamorphism acts on a rock and reduces it to crystalline grains
  • graph colouring — (application)   A constraint-satisfaction problem often used as a test case in research, which also turns out to be equivalent to certain real-world problems (e.g. register allocation). Given a connected graph and a fixed number of colours, the problem is to assign a colour to each node, subject to the constraint that any two connected nodes cannot be assigned the same colour. This is an example of an NP-complete problem. See also four colour map theorem.
  • graphologically — In terms of or by means of graphology.
  • gravitationally — As a result of the force of gravity.
  • gravity anomaly — a deviation from the normal value of gravity at the earth's surface, caused by density differences at depth, for example those caused by a buried mineral body
  • great rebellion — English Civil War.
  • grecian profile — a profile distinguished by the absence of the hollow between the upper ridge of the nose and the forehead, thereby forming a straight line.
  • grind to a halt — If a country's economy or something such as a process grinds to a halt, it gradually becomes slower or less active until it stops.
  • guerrilla group — an organized group of guerrillas
  • gulf of argolis — an inlet of the Aegean Sea, in the E Peloponnese
  • gyrostabilizers — Plural form of gyrostabilizer.
  • haemoglobinuria — the presence of haemoglobin in the urine
  • haemoglobinuric — relating to the presence of haemoglobin in the urine
  • half-round file — a file having a semicircular cross-section
  • halting problem — The problem of determining in advance whether a particular program or algorithm will terminate or run forever. The halting problem is the canonical example of a provably unsolvable problem. Obviously any attempt to answer the question by actually executing the algorithm or simulating each step of its execution will only give an answer if the algorithm under consideration does terminate, otherwise the algorithm attempting to answer the question will itself run forever. Some special cases of the halting problem are partially solvable given sufficient resources. For example, if it is possible to record the complete state of the execution of the algorithm at each step and the current state is ever identical to some previous state then the algorithm is in a loop. This might require an arbitrary amount of storage however. Alternatively, if there are at most N possible different states then the algorithm can run for at most N steps without looping. A program analysis called termination analysis attempts to answer this question for limited kinds of input algorithm.
  • hamiltonstovare — a large strong short-haired breed of hound with a black, brown, and white coat

  • horticulturally — With respect to horticulture.
  • hospital corner — a fold on a bed sheet or blanket made by tucking the foot or head of the sheet straight under the mattress with the ends protruding and then making a diagonal fold at the side corner of the sheet and tucking this under to produce a triangular corner.
