Thermostat :: Thermostat (n.) 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..

Barium :: Barium (n.) One of the elements, belonging to the alkaline earth group; a metal having a silver-white color, and melting at a very high temperature. It is difficult to obtain the pure metal, from the facility with which it becomes oxidized in the air. Atomic weight, 137. Symbol, Ba. Its oxide called baryta..

Radiomicrometer :: Radiomicrometer (n.) A very sensitive modification or application of the thermopile, used for indicating minute changes of radiant heat, or temperature..

Condensation :: Condensation (n.) The act or process of reducing, by depression of temperature or increase of pressure, etc., to another and denser form, as gas to the condition of a liquid or steam to water..

Temperature :: Temperature (n.) Constitution; state; degree of any quality.

Bougie :: Bougie (n.) A long slender rod consisting of gelatin or some other substance that melts at the temperature of the body. It is impregnated with medicine, and designed for introduction into urethra, etc..

Electro-thermancy :: Electro-thermancy (n.) That branch of electrical science which treats of the effect of an electric current upon the temperature of a conductor, or a part of a circuit composed of two different metals..

Isogeotherm :: Isogeotherm (n.) A line or curved surface passing beneath the earth's surface through points having the same mean temperature.

Cymogene :: Cymogene (n.) A highly volatile liquid, condensed by cold and pressure from the first products of the distillation of petroleum; -- used for producing low temperatures..

Plaster :: Plaster (n.) An external application of a consistency harder than ointment, prepared for use by spreading it on linen, leather, silk, or other material. It is adhesive at the ordinary temperature of the body, and is used, according to its composition, to produce a medicinal effect, to bind parts together, etc.; as, a porous plaster; sticking plaster..

Climate :: Climate (v. i.) The condition of a place in relation to various phenomena of the atmosphere, as temperature, moisture, etc., especially as they affect animal or vegetable life..

Temperature :: Temperature (n.) Freedom from passion; moderation.

Melt :: Melt (v. i.) To be changed from a solid to a liquid state under the influence of heat; as, butter and wax melt at moderate temperatures..

Isopepsin :: Isopepsin (n.) Pepsin modified by exposure to a temperature of from 40¡ to 60¡ C.

Tasimer :: Tasimer (n.) An instrument for detecting or measuring minute extension or movements of solid bodies. It consists essentially of a small rod, disk, or button of carbon, forming part of an electrical circuit, the resistance of which, being varied by the changes of pressure produced by the movements of the object to be measured, causes variations in the strength of the current, which variations are indicated by a sensitive galvanometer. It is also used for measuring minute changes of temperature..

Incoercible :: Incoercible (a.) Not capable of being reduced to the form of a liquid by pressure; -- said of any gas above its critical point; -- also particularly of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide, formerly regarded as incapable of liquefaction at any temperature or pressure..

Distemperment :: Distemperment (n.) Distempered state; distemperature.

Intemperature :: Intemperature (n.) Intemperateness.

Water Thermometer :: Water thermometer () A thermometer filled with water instead of mercury, for ascertaining the precise temperature at which water attains its maximum density. This is about 39? Fahr., or 4? Centigrade; and from that point down to 32? Fahr., or 0? Centigrade, or the freezing point, it expands..

Frost :: Frost (v. i.) The state or temperature of the air which occasions congelation, or the freezing of water; severe cold or freezing weather..
