| chestnut | A small oval or round horny structure in the skin on the inner side of the legs of the horse. Since the architecture of chestnut's varies in every individual, they may be used, like fingerprints of man, for positive identification of individuals. (05 Mar 2000) |

| chestnut blight | A disease of chestnut trees caused by the fungus Enqothia parasitica. The major symptom is swollen, cracked cankers that form on the outside of the tree, spread into the tree and kills it. This disease is the primary reason why there are almost no American chestnut trees alive today. The population was decimated when the disease was introduced to America with Japanese chestnut trees.

| water chestnut | <botany> The fruit of Trapa natans and Trapa bicornis, Old World water plants bearing edible nutlike fruits armed with several hard and sharp points; also, the plant itself. Synonym: water caltrop. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| horse-chestnut | <botany> The large nutlike seed of a species of aesculus (ae. Hippocastanum), formerly ground, and fed to horses, whence the name. The tree itself, which was brought from Constantinople in the beginning of the sixteenth century, and is now common in the temperate zones of both hemispheres. The native American species are called buckeyes. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| hill | 1. A natural elevation of land, or a mass of earth rising above the common level of the surrounding land; an eminence less than a mountain. "Every mountain and hill shall be made low." (Is. Xl. 4) 2. The earth raised about the roots of a plant or cluster of plants. See Hill. 3. A single cluster or group of plants growing close together, and having the earth heaped up about them; as, a hill of corn or potatoes. Hill ant, one of numerous species of small Asiatic singing birds of the family Leiotrichidae. Many are beautifully coloured. Origin: OE. Hil, hul, AS. Hyll; akin to OD. Hille, hil, L. Collis, and prob. To E. Haulm, holm, and column. Cf. 2d Holm. To surround with earth; to heap or draw earth around or upon; as, to hill corn. "Showing them how to plant and hill it."

| Hill coefficient | A measure of cooperativity in a binding process. A Hill coefficient of 1 indicates independent binding, a value of greater than 1 shows positive cooperativity binding of one ligand facilitates binding of subsequent ligands at other sites on the multimeric receptor complex. Worked out originally for the binding of oxygen to haemoglobin (Hill coefficient of 2.8). (18 Nov 1997) |
| Hill constant | A measure of cooperativity in a binding process. A Hill coefficient of 1 indicates independent binding, a value of greater than 1 shows positive cooperativity binding of one ligand facilitates binding of subsequent ligands at other sites on the multimeric receptor complex. Worked out originally for the binding of oxygen to haemoglobin (Hill coefficient of 2.8). (18 Nov 1997) |
