Instrumento electrónico que se toca con la mano del intérprete hacia adelante y hacia atrás a diferentes distancias desde una antena que se eleva verticalmente desde el instrumento; el tono del tono único producido varía con la distancia de la mano a la antena.

Grouping of mammals including all placental and marsupial mammals, characterized by having mammary glands with nipples, functional teeth, oviducts that are partly fused, may have a cloaca, and having a uterus and vagina, giving birth to live young (viviparous).

Medicinal concoction of varying ingredients, usually a fermentation of herbs and other ingredients. It was used as an antidote to poison and bites of venomous serpents. First known by the Greeks in the 1st century CE; widely adopted in the ancient world in Europe, China, and India through trade along the the Silk Road.

In polymer science, refers to the molecular deterioration of polymers caused by overheating.

Method of ionizing atoms with low ionization potentials for use in mass spectrometry by contact with the heated surface of a metal.

Prints made by devices that employ heat to form an image without ink or toner, usually on specialized paper. Most often these are made as receipts, labels, and barcodes in retail and logistics, but are also created by communications devices such as fax machines, and occasionally to create fine art imagery or objects.

Devices that employ heated elements, and sometimes infrared radiation to form an image without ink or toner, usually on specialized paper. Some types melt wax or resin from a ribbon. These are most often used for creating text in business applications such as receipts, labels, and barcodes in retail and logistics, but are also used in communications devices such as fax machines, and occasionally to create fine art imagery or objects.

Prints made in a technology that uses a heated printhead to create images by transferring wax or resin-based material from a film or ribbon to a substrate. These are durable and resistant to eradication, and are most often created as labels or printed barcodes, though fine-art applications are known.

The eleventh month of the French revolutionary calendar, extending (in 1794) from July 19 to August 17.

Nombre comercial para un método no tóxico de erradicación de insectos que utiliza un sistema basado en microprocesador. Se enfoca en la susceptibilidad de los insectos a temperaturas elevadas mientras mantiene el contenido de humedad y las dimensiones de los materiales orgánicos estables durante el calentamiento. En conservación es utilizado para la erradicación de carcoma y polillas en arte y antigüedades.

Family of fungi established to classify specific thermophilic (heat-loving) and thermotolerant molds. In 2011, the broadly defined family Trichocomaceae was split into three separate families: Aspergillaceae, Trichocomaceae (redefined), and Thermoascaceae, based on phylogenetic and morphological differences.

The branch of chemistry that deals with the amounts of heat evolved or absorbed in chemical reactions and physical change of state.

Electricity produced by the direct action of heat, especially in a closed circuit made of two dissimilar metals heated unequally, through two related mechanisms, the Peltier effect and the Seebeck effect.

A technique that chemically analyzes a substance by measuring changes in its weight due to increasing temperature. It can be used to study the stability of materials.

In the context of micro-climate and climate control, refers to combined measurement of temperature and humidity and the study of their interaction.

A technique used in thermal analysis which examines the change of a mechanical property of a sample while it is subjected to a temperature regime.

Analytical technique which combines properties of thermal analysis and microscopy to enable the solid state characterization of materials as a function of temperature. A sample substance is placed on a metal strip with a temperature gradient, a melting-point apparatus known as a Kofler bench, thereby revealing its thermal behavior at the temperature at that point when studied with a suitable polarized-light microscope.

Roman commercial establishments serving as bars or taverns selling food or drink. These may have been visited exclusively by the poor who did not have access to kitchens of their own.

Brand name vessels with double insulating walls separated by a vacuum that serve to regulate the temperature of liquids stored within. For the generic object originally invented by Sir James Dewar use "vacuum flasks." Thermos (TM) is a proprietary name for these objects. With a small initial 'thermoses' is frequently applied loosely to vacuum flasks in general.
