Exam: GRE (Verbal)

Definition: Relating to the process of producing heat in the body or in a substance.

Example: Certain foods have thermogenic properties that can help boost metabolism.

Definition: A type of record that shows temperature changes, created by a device called a thermograph.

Example: The doctor examined the thermogram to check for any unusual heat patterns in the patient's body.

Definition: A device that measures and records temperature changes automatically.

Example: The thermograph showed a steady increase in temperature throughout the day.

Definition: Relating to a method of using infrared imaging to detect heat patterns and temperatures.

Example: The thermographic camera revealed areas of heat loss in the building.

Definition: A method that uses an infrared camera to detect temperature differences on the skin, helping to identify abnormal tissue or health issues.

Example: The doctor used thermography to check for any unusual heat patterns on the patient's body.

Definition: Relating to the combined effects of temperature and saltiness in water, often used in oceanography to describe water movement and properties.

Example: The thermohaline circulation plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate.

Definition: A connection point where two different metals meet, creating a thermoelectric current, often used in temperature measurement devices.

Example: The thermojunction in the thermocouple allows for accurate temperature readings.

Definition: Easily damaged or changed when exposed to heat, especially in relation to biochemical substances.

Example: Many enzymes are thermolabile and lose their activity when heated.

Definition: The state or quality of being sensitive to heat, where a substance can change or break down when exposed to high temperatures.

Example: The thermolability of the enzyme means it must be stored at low temperatures to remain active.

Definition: Relating to effects that happen when a material is in both a temperature difference and a magnetic field.

Example: The thermomagnetic properties of the material were studied to improve its efficiency in energy applications.
