Potato leaf Potato leaf, or PL, is one of two major styles of leaves which various tomato plants may have, the other kind simply being called "regular leaf", or RL. Each is broken down into a number of subcategories, but most basically potato leaf tomato plants have a smooth, pointy oval leaf, like the most standard sort of "leaf" one might imagine, while "regular" leaves have the normal tomato plant pattern of lobes serrating their edges.

Potential density The Potential Density of a fluid parcel at pressure P is the density that the parcel would acquire if adiabatically brought to a standard reference pressure P_{0}, usually 1 bar. The concept is used in Oceanographyand (to a lesser extent?
Potential difference In physics, the potential difference is a quantity related to the amount of energy that would be required to move an object from one place to another against various types of forces. The term is most frequently used as an abbreviation of 'electrical potential difference', but it also occurs in many other branches of physics.
Potential energy Potential energy is the energy that is by virtue of the relative positions (configurations) of the objects within a physical system. This form of energy has the potential to change the state of other objects around it, for example, the configuration or motion.
Potential energy surface A potential energy surface is generally used within the adiabatic or Born–Oppenheimer approximation in quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics to model chemical reactions and interactions in simple chemical and physical systems. The "(hyper)surface" name comes from the fact that the total energy of an atom arrangement can be represented as a curve or (multidimensional) surface, with atomic positions as variables.
Potential evaporation Potential evaporation or potential evapotranspiration (PET) is defined as the amount of evaporation that would occur if a sufficient water source were available. If the actual evapotranspiration is considered the net result of atmospheric demand for moisture from a surface and the ability of the surface to supply moisture, then PET is a measure of the demand side.
Potential flow A potential flow is characterized by an irrotational velocity field. This property allows the description of the velocity field as the gradient of a scalar function (because taking the curl of the gradient is equivalent to make the cross product of two parallel vectors which is always zero).
Potential Getaway Driver Potential Getaway Driver is an independent record label that began in the winter of 2005 by friends Chad Hansen and Tony Iamurri. It was originally based between Flint, Michigan and Saginaw, Michigan and is now based between Flint and Chicago.
Potential isomorphism In mathematical logic and in particular in model theory, a potential isomorphism is a collection of finite partial isomorphisms between two models which satisfies certain closure conditions. Existence of a partial isomorphism entails elementary equivalence, however the converse is not generally true, but it holds for ω-saturated models.
Potential method In Computational complexity theory, the Potential method is a method used to analyze amortized time and space complexities of algorithms. It can be thought of as a generalization of the Accounting method and the debit method.
Potential osmotic pressure Potential osmotic pressure (POP) is the maximum osmotic pressure that could develop in a solution if it were separated from distilled water by a selectively permeable membrane. It is the number of solute particles in a unit volume of the solution that directly determines its potential osmotic pressure.
Potential output In economics, potential output (also referred to as "natural real gross domestic product") refers to the highest level of real Gross Domestic Product output that can be sustained over the long term. The existence of a limit is due to natural and institutional constraints.
Potential pareto improvement A policy or project is said to constitute a potential Pareto improvement if it can lead to a Pareto improvement. This occurs when the benefits of gainers from the policy or project exceed the losses incurred by the losers, so that they can potentially compensate the losers for their losses and still be better off.
Potential Psionic Energy Potential Psychic Energy (PPE) is a form of measurement for magic potential in a character, in RPG settings by Palladium Books. The PPE number that the character has denotes how much magical energies they can store in their own bodies at a time.
Potential support ratio The potential support ratio (PSR) is the number of people age 15-64 per one older person aged 65 or older. This ratio describes the burden placed on the working population (unemployment and children are not considered in this measure) by the non-working elderly population.
Potential temperature The potential temperature of a parcel of air at pressure P is the temperature that the parcel would acquire if adiabatically brought to a standard reference pressure P_{0}, usually 1 bar. The special temperature is denoted theta and is often given by
Potential vorticity Potential vorticity (PV) is a quantity which is proportional to the product of vorticity and stratification that, following an air parcel, can only be changed by diabatic or frictional processes. It plays an important role in the generation of vorticity in cyclogenesis (the birth and development of a cyclone), especially along the polar front.
Potential well A potential well is the region surrounding a local minimum of potential energy. Energy captured in a potential well is unable to convert to another type of energy (kinetic energy in the case of a gravitational potential well) because it is captured in the local minimum of a potential well.
Potentiality and actuality (Aristotle) The theory of Potentiality and Actuality is one of the central themes of Aristotle's philosophy and metaphysics. With these two notions, Aristotle intends to provide a structure for the comprehension of reality.

Potentiometric sensor Potentiometric Sensors are based on the measurement of a potential under no current flow. The measured potential may then be used to determine the analytical concentration of some components of the analyte gas or solution.
Potentiostat A potentiostat is a is a control and measuring device that, in an electrolytic cell, keeps the potential of the working electrode at a constant level respect to the reference electrode. It const of an electric circuit which controls the potential across the cell by sensing changes in its resistance, varying accordingly the current supplied to the system: a higher resistance will result in a decreased current, while a lower resistance will result in an increased current, in order to keep the voltage constant.

Potnia Theron Potnia Theron ("Mistress of the Animals") is an ancient title of the Minoan Goddess, an aspect of her power that was assumed by Artemis among others in the Olympian hierarchy that was later introduced in mainland Greece. "In particular, it seems as if an ancient Great Goddess, especially qua Mistress of the Animals, has been individualized in Greece in various ways, as Hera, Artemis, Aphrodite, Demeter, and Athena," Walter Burkert allows, but adds "The idea of a Master or Mistress of the Animals who must be won over to the side of the hunters is widespread and very possibly Paleolithic in origin; in the official religion of the Greeks this survives at little more than the level of folklore.

Pottery of ancient Greece Thanks to its hardy nature pottery bulks large in the archaeological record of ancient Greece, and because we have so much of it (some 100,000 vases are recorded in the Corpus vasorum antiquorum) it has exerted a disproportionately large influence on our understanding of that society. Little survives, for example, of ancient Greek painting except for what is found on the earthenware in everyday use, so we must trace the development of Greek art through its vestiges on a derivative art form.
