|---|---|
| thermometry | The measurement of temperature. Origin: thermo-+ G. Metron, measure (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermoneurosis | Elevation of the temperature of the body due to an emotional influence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermonuclear | Pertaining to nuclear reactions brought about by nuclear fusion; (e.g., the fusion of hydrogen to helium at temperatures of over 100,000,000캜). (the reaction in the "hydrogen bomb"). (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermonuclear conditions | <radiobiology> Achievement of an adequately confined plasma, having temperature and density sufficiently high to yield significant release of energy from fusion reactions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| thermonuclear fusion | <radiobiology> Fusion achieved by heating the fuel into the plasma state to the point where ions have sufficient energy to fuse. Also used to characterise fusion between thermal ions as opposed to fusion involving injected beam ions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| thermonuclear reaction | <radiobiology> See thermonuclear fusion, above. (09 Oct 1997) |
| thermopenetration | Diathermy of mild degree causing no destruction of tissue. Synonym: thermopenetration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermophile | An organism that thrives at high temperature. The most extreme examples are cyanobacteria from hot springs that have optima of 50-55쵣 and will tolerate temperatures of 90쵣. (18 Nov 1997) |
| thermophilic | Pertaining to a thermophile. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermophobia | <psychology> Morbid fear of heat. Origin: thermo-+ G. Phobos, fear (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermophore | 1. An arrangement for applying heat to a part; consists of a water heater, a tube conveying hot water to a coil, and another tube conducting the water back to the heater. 2. A flat bag containing certain salts that produce heat when moistened; used as a substitute for the hot-water bag. Origin: thermo-+ G. Phoros, bearing (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermophylic | Resistant to heat, denoting certain microorganisms. Origin: thermo-+ G. Phylaxis, protection (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermopile | <physics> An instrument of extreme sensibility, used to determine slight differences and degrees of heat. It is composed of alternate bars of antimony and bismuth, or any two metals having different capacities for the conduction of heat, connected with an astatic galvanometer, which is very sensibly affected by the electric current induced in the system of bars when exposed even to the feeblest degrees of heat. Origin: Thermo- + pile a heap. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| thermoplacentography | An obsolete method for determination of placental position by detection of infrared rays from the large amounts of blood flowing through the placenta. Origin: thermo-+ L. Placenta, placenta, + G. Grapho, to write (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermogenesis |
Thermogenesis is the process of heat production. Non-shivering thermogenesis usually occurs in brown adipose tissue (brown fat) that is present in newborn and hibernating mammals and in human infants. It is a process where substances such as free fatty acids (derived from triacylglycerols) remove purine (ADP,GDP... ...

| thermography |
Thermography is a type of infrared imaging. Thermographic cameras detect radiation in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum and produce images of that radiation. Since infrared radiation is emitted by all objects at ambient temperature, thermography makes it possible to "see" one's environment with or without visible illumination. ...

| thermophobia |
The English suffix -phobia is technically used to describe irrational, disabling fear as a mental disorder, and commonly misused to describe hatred of a particular thing or subject. Everyday language has misused the use of this suffix as a mild or irrational fear with no serious substance; however, its origin is from areas of psychiatry which study serious phobias which disable a person's life. ...
