: A network comprising different types of computers, potentially with vastly differing memory sizes, processing power and even basic underlying architecture. Alternatively, a data resource with multiple types of formats
A heterogeneous group consists of many different types of things or people. a rather heterogeneous collection of studies from diverse origins. = diverse homogeneous. consisting of parts or members that are very different from each other homogeneous (heterogeneus, from , from hetero- ( HETERO-) + genos )
Materials made from more than one type of substructure Opposite of homogeneous, a material with a uniform composition (Note that a material can be chemically complex yet homogeneous )
A network comprising different types of computers, potentially with vastly differing memory sizes, processing power and even basic underlying architecture. Alternatively, a data resource with multiple types of formats
This term qualifies systems or modes of catalysis often encountered in cellular biology, in which the functional components are not homogeneously distributed distributed as in solution, but rather organized Model systems have been described using immobilized enzymes at the surface of matrices, or within porous lattices, surrounded by bulk solution in which reactants are dissolved In such heterogeneous catalytic systems, the substrates and products have to diffuse to and from the enzymic phase in order to complete the catalytic cycle as sensed by an external observer (e g , in bulk solution) The effective properties of such a heterogeneous system displays a channeling behavior for the reactants and may strikingly differ from these of the same system in solution They include in addition to intrinsic properties of the catalyst(s), other features inherent to the non-homogeneous character of the system
(adj ) Containing components of more than one kind A heterogeneous architecture may be one in which some components are processors, and others memories, or it may be one that uses different types of processor together See also distributed computer, homogeneous
A word describing a system that contains components of more than one kind A heterogeneous architecture may be one in which some components are processors, and others memories, or it may be one that uses different types of processors together
Containing components of more than one kind A heterogeneous architecture may be one in which some components are processors, and others memories, or it may be one that uses different types of processors together See also distributed computer; homogeneous [Wil93]
Describes a substance which varies in its composition and properties from one part to another Properties differ from place to place within the solution
Differing in kind; having unlike qualities; possessed of different characteristics; dissimilar; opposed to homogeneous, and said of two or more connected objects, or of a conglomerate mass, considered in respect to the parts of which it is made up
Different or diverse Heterogeneity is one of the physical characteristics of real estate Because no two parcels of land are the same, investors should carefully evaluate the characteristics of a particular site for suitability for proposed uses since a use that works on one parcel of land may fail for another In addition, heterogeneity makes specific performance a viable remedy for breaches of contract involving real estate If a person contracts for a particular parcel of land, receiving its value in money or receiving another similar parcel does not substitute for the original land
A set of objects which are of different types For example, any element of a heterogenous array might contain integers or floating point numbers, or another array, or any kind of data
Descriptive term for a material consisting of dissimilar constituents separately identifiable; a medium consisting of regions of unlike properties separated by internal boundaries (Note that all nonhomogeneous materials are not necessarily heterogeneous)
Pertaining to a substance having different characteristics in different locations Non-uniform For example, sand with intermittent clay lenses Antonym Homogeneous
