| thermochrose | The property possessed by heat rays of reflection, refraction, and absorption, similar to that of light rays. Synonym: thermochrosy. Origin: thermo-+ G. Chrosis, colouring (05 Mar 2000) |

| thermochrosis | The selective action of certain substances on radiant heat, absorbing some of the rays, reflecting or transmitting others. Synonym: thermochroism. Origin: thermo-+ G. Chrosis, colouring (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermochrosy | <physics> The property possessed by heat of being composed, like light, of rays of different degrees of refrangibility, which are unequal in rate or degree of transmission through diathermic substances. Origin: Thermo- + Gr. Colouring. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| thermocline | Layer of water between the warmer surface zone and the colder deep zone of a thermally stratified body of water. In the thermocline, temperature and oxygen concentration drop precipitously with depth. (09 Oct 1997) |
| thermocoagulation | The process of converting tissue into a gel by heat. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermococcaceae | A family of anaerobic thermococcales found in hot environments. There are two genera: pyrococcus and thermococcus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thermococcales | An order of strictly anaerobic, thermophilic archaea, in the kingdom euryarchaeota. Members exhibit heterotropic growth by sulfur respiration. There is a single family thermococcaceae. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thermococcus | A genus of extremely thermophilic heterotrophic archaea, in the family thermococcaceae, occurring in heated sea flows. They are anerobic chemoorganotropic sulfidogens. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thermocouple | A device for measuring slight changes in temperature, consisting of two wires of different metals, one wire being kept at a certain low temperature, the other in the tissue or other material whose temperature is to be measured; a thermoelectric current is set up which is measured by a potentiometer. Synonym: thermojunction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermocurrent | <physics> A current, as of electricity, developed, or set in motion, by the action of heat. Origin: Thermo- + current. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| thermodiffusion | Diffusion of fluids, either gaseous or liquid, as influenced by the temperature of the fluid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermodilution | Measurement of blood flow based on induction at one point of the circulation of a known change in the intravascular heat content of flowing blood and detection of the resultant change in temperature at a point downstream. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thermoduric | Resistant to the effects of exposure to high temperature; used especially with reference to microorganisms. Origin: thermo-+ L. Durus, hard, enduring (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermodynamic | <physics> Relating to thermodynamics; caused or operated by force due to the application of heat. Thermodynamic function. See Heat weight, under Heat. Origin: Thermo- + dynamic. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| thermodynamic equilibrium | <radiobiology> There is a very general result from statistical mechanics which states that, if a system is in thermodynamic equilibrium with another (or several other) system, all processes by which the systems can exchange energy must be exactly balanced by their reverse processes, so that there is no net exchange of energy. For plasma systems in thermodynamic equilibrium, ionisation must be balanced by recombination, Bremsstrahlung by absorption, and so on. When thermodynamic equilibrium exists, the distribution function of particle energies and excited energy levels of the atoms can be obtained from the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution (which is a function only of the temperature). The Saha equation is a special application of this. (09 Oct 1997) |
