"Thermoregulatory" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Regulating body temperature. A physiological or biological process that maintains the constant temperature of the body.
Thermoplasty refers to a type of permanent hair removal method that uses a heated tool (often a device called a thermolysis) to remove excess hair from the root. This process is also known as electrolysis, although some people use the term to specifically describe a type of electrolysis that uses a heated needle, while others may think of it as a different technique altogether.<br><br>Thermoplasty works by cutting off the blood supply to the hair follicle and then inserting a fine needle into the follicle to delete it, typically with the use of a mild galvanic (DC) current for permanent hair removal from any part of the body, except the eyebrows.
Reminiscent of ancient Greek, "thermopolis" refers to a city or an establishment that provides hot beverages, especially in ancient Greece and Rome.
Thermopsis is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family (Fabaceae). The species, often called golden-pea or Jacob's ladder, are natives of North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Thermopylae refers to a narrow pass in Greece where a famous battle between the Persian army and a coalition of Greek city-states took place in 480 BC, led by King Leonidas of Sparta. It was a pivotal and highly symbolic moment in history, where a vastly outnumbered Greek force fought bravely against the invading Persians, holding off their advances for several days before being surrounded and forced to retreat. The Battle of Thermopylae has become synonymous with courage, sacrifice, and resistance against overwhelming odds.
A thermosetting is a type of material that becomes fixed in shape and cannot be melted or reshaped once it has been formed. It is created when a polymer undergoes a chemical reaction that leads to the formation of a three-dimensional network of molecules, making it rigid and permanent. Thermosetting materials are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including plastics, resins, fibers, and adhesives, and are often used in production of electronic components, automotive parts, and construction materials. Examples of thermosetting materials include epoxy, polyesters, and polyurethanes.
