WHAT DOES HOMOGENEOUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

homogeneous

Homogeneity and heterogeneity

Homogeneity and heterogeneity are concepts relating to the uniformity in a substance. A material that is homogeneous is uniform in composition or character; one that is heterogeneous is distinctly nonuniform in one of these qualities. The words homogeneous and heterogeneous come from Medieval Latin homogeneus and heterogeneus, from Ancient Greek ὁμογενής and ἑτερογενής, from ὁμός and ἕτερος respectively, followed by γένος; -ous is an adjectival suffix. The concepts are the same to every level of complexity, from atoms to populations of animals or people, and galaxies. Hence, an element may be homogeneous on a larger scale, compared to being heterogeneous on a smaller scale. This is known as an effective medium approach, or effective medium approximations.

Definition of homogeneous in the English dictionary

5 QUOTES WITH «HOMOGENEOUS»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word homogeneous.
1
Ryan Coogler
There are so many people that don't come in contact with black men. Whether they live in a homogeneous area that's mostly white or whether they live in places where they don't have to come in contact with them. So what kind of contact do they have with African-American males? They have the media, and that's it.
2
Keith Ellison
There must be something in the water in Minnesota because historically, despite its seemingly homogeneous population, the state has produced some of our more radical political thinkers, and its people have put their prejudices aside to vote for them.
3
Rosabeth Moss Kanter
Organizational structures that allow divisions and departments to own their turf and people with long tenure to take root creates the same hardened group distinctions as Congressional redistricting to produce homogeneous voting blocs - all of which makes it easier to resist compromise, let alone collaboration.
4
Dwight Schultz
People will be fascinated. We will think of each other in a far more homogeneous way, because we will know that there is something that is different from us. And when we say 'us,' it will mean as a species.
5
Antonio Villaraigosa
We're not a homogeneous party, anymore than the Republicans are. But we are a party that I think has a plan to take us forward.
