quartoA size of paper (7.5"-10" x 10"-12.5" or 190-254 x 254-312 mm). Formed by folding and cutting one of several standard sizes of paper (15"-20" x 20"-25" or 381-508 x 508-635 mm) twice to form 4 leaves (eight sides).

quartzThe most abundant mineral on the earth's surface, of chemical composition silicon dioxide, SiO₂. It occurs in a variety of forms, both crystalline and amorphous. Found in every environment.
quartzofeldspatholithicConsisting chiefly of or containing significant amounts of quartz, feldspar, and rock fragments (lithic grains), especially as a type of sandstone composed of all three major detrital components in substantial proportions.
quartzoidA form of crystal resembling quartz, having two six-sided pyramids, base to base.
quartzoliteA type of rock consisting of almost pure quartz, but also containing some feldspar and small amounts of mica and amphibole.
quasiResembling or having a likeness to the named thing.
quasiabelianHaving properties similar to an abelian structure
quasianalyticBelonging or relating to a generalization of the class of real analytic functions based upon the fact that, if f is an analytic function on an interval [a,b] ⊂ R, and at some point f and all of its derivatives are zero, then f is identically zero on all of [a,b].
quasidominanceThe dominance (repetitive appearance through generations) in a population of a recessive trait because of repeated consanguineous matings.
quasienantiomerEither of a pair of compounds, one of which is a derivative of the enantiomer of the other (and has very similar chemical and physical properties).
quasifieldAn algebraic structure (Q,+,·) where + and · are binary operations on Q, much like a division ring, but with some weaker conditions.
quasifissionPartial fusion followed by fission of very large atomic nuclei, a possible means of generating neutron-rich isotopes
quasifixationThe fixation of genes (prevention of mutation) under normal circumstances
quasifreeDescribing the state of electrons in a metal or other conductor that may move freely, but come up against a periodic potential in the vicinity of its atoms
quasigeodesicOf a map f: textbf R→Y, having constants K>0 and C>0 such that 1/Kd(x,y)-C<d(f(x),f(y))<Kd(x,y)+C.
