The degree of hotness or coldness of a body or environment (corresponding to its molecular activity)

Usage examples of temperature.

I zoomed up to Safeway and got some Acetaminophen suppositories, to lower the temperature.

We kept up with the morphine, and I gave her a little Acetaminophen to ease her temperature.

This important plant holds the soils of riparian habitats and also creates fertile micro-climates, adapting its shape and behavior to the amount of moisture it can get and to the elevation in which it grows, which relates then to the temperature that it must endure.

This material was another strictly non-Mesklinite product, a piece of molecular architecture vaguely analogous to zeolite in structure, which adsorbed hydrogen on the inner walls of its structural channels and, within a wide temperature range, maintained an equilibrium partial pressure with the gas which was compatible with Mesklinite metabolic needs.

I replaced them with outdoor lamps, some of the vari-temp, night-into-day lights for hydro- and aeroponics, the millipedes curled up as if to shield themselves, regardless of the temperature.

Plague can be grown easily in a wide range of temperatures and media, and we eventually developed a plague weapon capable of surviving in an aerosol while maintaining its killing capacity.

The only way to water the crops was to somehow extract enough moisture from the airsome was available, but difficult to isolate, especially with very small natural temperature changes in the Maracandan atmosphere.

Nature of the experiments--Effects of boiling water--Warm water causes rapid inflection--Water at a higher temperature does not cause immediate inflection, but does not kill the leaves, as shown by their subsequent reexpansion and by the aggregation of the protoplasm--A still higher temperature kills the leaves and coagulates the albuminous contents of the glands.

The aldehydes and ketones in the beer quickly dispelled any concern about the temperature of the brew.

When the science of medicine reaches perfection, treatment will be given by foods, aliments, fragrant fruits, and vegetables, and by various waters, hot and cold in temperature.

Some kind of dire temperature inversion had clamped itself down over the city like a bell jar, trapping and concentrating the cocktail of dust, automobile exhaust, coal smoke, woodsmoke, manure smoke, and the ammoniated gasses that rose up from the stewn excreta of millions of people and animals.

It is not uncommon for the Cajuns to smoke Andouille for 7 - 8 hours at temperatures no higher than 175 degrees.

In applying this reasoning to the earth, we perceive that a certain influence is due to the difference of temperature of the ethereal medium surrounding the earth, at perihelion and aphelion, being least at the former, and greatest at the latter.

For unless they are equipped with special cooling devices even the armoured cars cannot be used in practice at such temperatures.

The assayer, as a rule, can select his own standard temperature, and may choose one which will always necessitate warming.
