Homogeneity (disambiguation)
Homogeneity, homogeneous, or homogenization may refer to:
Science
- Homogeneity (physics), translational invariance or compatibility of units in equations
- Homogeneous (chemistry), a property of a mixture showing no variation in properties
- Homogenization (chemistry), intensive mixing of mutually insoluble substance or groups of substance to obtain a soluble suspension or constant. Homogenized milk is one example.
- Homogenization (biology), a process that involves breaking apart cells — releasing organelles and cytoplasm
- Homogeneity (ecology), means all of the same or similar kind or nature. In ecological terms, it can also be expressed as a lack of, or reduction in biodiversity.
- Homogenization (mathematics), the study of partial differential equations with highly oscillatory coefficients and the determination of effective properties of materials with inhomogeneous moduli (e.g. elastic, thermal, electrical)
