Thermogenesis
|
D022722 |
[The generation of heat in order to maintain body temperature. The uncoupled oxidation of fatty acids contained within brown adipose tissue and SHIVERING are examples of thermogenesis in MAMMALS.

Thermography
|
D013817 |
[Imaging the temperatures in a material, or in the body or an organ. Imaging is based on self-emanating infrared radiation (HEAT WAVES), or on changes in properties of the material or tissue that vary with temperature, such as ELASTICITY; MAGNETIC FIELD; or LUMINESCENCE.

Thermogravimetry
|
D013818 |
[Technique whereby the weight of a sample can be followed over a period of time while its temperature is being changed (usually increased at a constant rate).
] |
|
Thermoluminescent Dosimetry
|
D013819 |
[The use of a device composed of thermoluminescent material for measuring exposure to IONIZING RADIATION. The thermoluminescent material emits light when heated. The amount of light emitted is proportional to the amount of ionizing radiation to which the material has been exposed.

Thermolysin
|
D013820 |
[A thermostable extracellular metalloendopeptidase containing four calcium ions. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) 3.4.24.27.

|
Thermometers
|
D013821 |
[Measuring instruments for determining the temperature of matter. Most thermometers used in the field of medicine are designed for measuring body temperature or for use in the clinical laboratory. (From UMDNS, 1999)

|
Thermometry
|
D062125 |
[Measurement of the temperature of a material, or of the body or an organ by various temperature sensing devices which measure changes in properties of the material that vary with temperature, such as ELASTICITY; MAGNETIC FIELDS; or LUMINESCENCE.

Thermomonospora
|
D000084442 |
[A genus of high GC content ACTINOBACTERIA in the family Thermomonosporaceae. Species of this genus, Thermomonospora fusca and Thermomonospora curvata, are known for their roles in the industrial production of enzymes including CELLULASE.

|
Thermoplasma
|
D013822 |
[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.
] |
|
Thermoplasmales
|
D019603 |
[An order of aerobic, thermophilic archaea, in the kingdom EURYARCHAEOTA, characterized by the absence of a cell wall. Two genera have been described: THERMOPLASMA and Picrophilus.
] |
|
Thermoproteaceae
|
D019624 |
[A family of THERMOPROTEALES consisting of variable length rigid rods without septa. They grow either chemolithoautotrophically or by sulfur respiration. The four genera are: PYROBACULUM; THERMOPROTEUS; Caldivirga; and Thermocladium. (From Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, 2d ed)

|
Thermoproteales
|
D019619 |
[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.
] |
|
Thermoproteus
|
D041542 |
[A genus of obligately anaerobic ARCHAEA, in the family THERMOPROTEACEAE. They are found in acidic hot springs and water holes.
] |
|
Thermoreceptors
|
D013823 |
[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.
] |
|
Thermosensing
|
D013697 |
[The sensation of cold, heat, coolness, and warmth as detected by THERMORECEPTORS.
] |
|
Thermosomes
|
D056405 |
[Group II chaperonins found in species of ARCHAEA.
] |
|
Thermosynechococcus
|
D000086325 |
[A genus of thermophilic, unicellular CYANOBACTERIA in the family Synechococcaceae that is photosynthetic.
] |
|
Thermotoga
|
D000084444 |
[A genus of anaerobic, gram-negative bacteria in the family Thermotogaceae and phylum Thermotogae. Species of this genus such as THERMOTOGA MARITIMA and THERMOTOGA NEAPOLITANA are known to live in high-temperature environments and also play a role in HYDROGEN production.
] |
|
Thermotoga maritima
|
D020124 |
[A rod-shaped bacterium surrounded by a sheath-like structure which protrudes balloon-like beyond the ends of the cell. It is thermophilic, with growth occurring at temperatures as high as 90 degrees C. It is isolated from geothermally heated marine sediments or hot springs. (From Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology, 9th ed)

|
Thermotoga neapolitana
|
D046949 |
[A species of extremophilic bacteria in the family Thermotogaceae. Generally anaerobic but in the presence of OXYGEN, it can produce hydrogen gas as a byproduct of metabolism.
