IPA: /ˌdɪləˈtɒmɪtrɪk/

KK: /dɪlətəˈmɛtrɪk/

adjective

Definition: Relating to the measurement of changes in volume or dimensions of a substance, typically using a device called a dilatometer.

Example: The dilatometric analysis revealed significant changes in the material's properties under heat.

dilatometry

IPA: /ˌdɪləˈtɒmətri/

KK: /dɪlətɑːmətri/

noun

Definition: The process of measuring how much a substance expands or contracts in volume due to changes in temperature or pressure.

Example: Dilatometry is often used in material science to study the thermal expansion of materials.

dimension

IPA: /dɪˈmɛnʃən/

KK: /dɪˈmɛnʃən/

noun

Definition: A way to measure how big something is, like its width, height, or length. It can also refer to the scope or extent of something, especially when talking about problems or issues.

dimensionality

IPA: /dɪˌmɛnʃəˈnælɪti/

KK: /dɪˌmɛnʃəˈnælɪti/

noun

Definition: The number of dimensions that something has, such as in space or in a mathematical context.

IPA: /ˈdaɪmərɪzəm/

KK: /ˈdaɪmərɪzəm/

noun

Definition: A condition in which there are two of each type of floral organ in a plant's structure.

Example: The dimerism in the flower's design allows for a unique arrangement of its petals and stamens.

dimerization

IPA: /ˌdaɪməraɪˈzeɪʃən/

KK: /daɪˌmɛrɪˈzeɪʃən/

noun

Definition: A chemical process where two smaller molecules, called monomers, combine to form a larger molecule known as a dimer.
