http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneity_and_heterogeneity
Homogeneity and heterogeneity are concepts often used in the sciences and statistics relating to the uniformity in a substance or organism. A material or image that is homogeneous is uniform in composition or character (i.e. color, shape, size, weight, height, distribution, texture, language, income, disease, temperature, radioactivity, architectural design, etc); one that is heterogeneous is distinctly nonuniform in one of these qualities.
