| thermoplasma | A genus of facultatively anaerobic heterotrophic archaea, in the order thermoplasmales, isolated from self-heating coal refuse piles and acid hot springs. They are thermophilic and can grow both with and without sulfur. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| thermoplasmales | An order of aerobic, thermophilic archaea, in the kingdom euryarchaeota, characterised by the absence of a cell wall. Two genera have been described: thermoplasma and picrophilus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thermoplastic | A classification for materials that can be made soft by the application of heat and harden upon cooling. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermoplegia | A rarely used term for sunstroke. Origin: thermo-+ G. Plege, stroke (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermoprecipitin reaction | The throwing down of a precipitate on the application of heat, as in the case of proteinaceous urine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermoproteaceae | A family of thermoproteales consisting of variable length rigid rods without septa. They grow either chemolithoautotrophically or by sulfur respiration. The three genera are: pyrobaculum, thermofilum, and thermoproteus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thermoproteales | An order of crenarchaeota comprised of rod, disc, or spherical shaped, nonseptate, anaerobic, extreme thermophiles and found in solfataric hot waters, mud holes, and superheated submarine environments. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thermoreceptor | A receptor that is sensitive to heat. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermoreceptors | Cellular receptors which mediate the sense of temperature. Thermoreceptors in vertebrates are mostly located under the skin. In mammals there are separate types of thermoreceptors for cold and for warmth and nociceptors which detect cold or heat extreme enough to cause pain. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thermoregulation | Heat regulation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| thermoregulator | <physics> A self-acting apparatus for regulating temperature by the unequal expansion of different metals, liquids, or gases by heat, as in opening or closing the damper of a stove, or the like, as the heat becomes greater or less than is desired. Origin: Thermo- + Gr. To make to stand. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| thermoscope | <instrument, physics> An instrument for indicating changes of temperature without indicating the degree of heat by which it is affected; especially, an instrument contrived by Count Rumford which, as modified by Professor Leslie, was afterward called the differential thermometer. Origin: Thermo- + -scope. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| thermoscopic | <physics> Of or pertaining to the thermoscope; made by means of the thermoscope; as, thermoscopic observations. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| thermoset | A classification for materials that become hardened or cured by the application of heat. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermostabile | Thermostable Not readily subject to alteration or destruction by heat. Synonym: heat-stable. Origin: thermo-+ L. Stabilis, stable (05 Mar 2000) |

| thermography |
In medicine, a procedure in which a heat-sensing infrared camera is used to record the surface heat produced by different parts of the body. Abnormal tissue growth can cause temperature changes, which may show up on the thermogram. Thermography may be used to diagnose breast cancer and other tumors.

A chronometric dating method that uses the fact that certain heated objects accumu-late trapped electrons over time, which allows the date when the object was initially heated to be determined.
