Appendix 13. Thermal Expansion, Temperature
temperature (n.) A property of an object that indicates in
which direction heat energy will flow if the object is placed in thermal contact with another object. Heat energy flows from places of higher temperature to places of lower temperature.
Zeroth law of If two bodies X and Y are each separately in thermodynamics (n.) thermal equilibrium with another body Z,
then they are in thermal equilibrium with one another. In the most common case the body Z is a thermometer.
temperature scale (n.) A sequence of values which represent
temperature. Such a sequence is usually obtained by choosing two fixed points (identified by specified properties of stated substances) between which there are subdivisions made on a chosen basis. The Celsius scale has 99 divisions between the melting point of pure water and the boiling point of pure water.
Celsius scale (n.) A temperature scale for which the ice point
is at 0° and the steam point is at 100°. One Celsius degree is defined as 1/
of the
100
temperature interval between the ice point and the steam point.
Centigrade scale (n.) The name formerly used for the Celsius
scale. The name is not now used in SI units but is often used by meteorologists.
Fahrenheit scale (n.) A temperature scale for which the ice point
is at 32° F and the steam point at 212°F.
132
Originally the zero was obtained in a freezing mixture and another point was fixed at 96° for blood temperature.
Reaumur scale (n.) A temperature scale in which the ice
point is at 0° and the steam point at 80°.
ideal gas scale (n.) A scale in which changes of temperature
are measured either by changes of pressure, or changes of volume, for gases operating at pressure low enough for the gases to behave as ideal gases.
thermodynamic scale (n.) A temperature scale which does not depend
upon the working properties of any substance. The ideal gas scale is identical with this scale.
absolute scale (n.) A thermodynamic temperature scale in
which the lower fixed point is absolute zero of temperature and the interval is identic with that on the Celsius scale. The temperature on the absolute scale is obtained by adding to и, the Celsius temperature, 1/ a where a is the coefficient of expansion of a gas at constant pressure. This gives a scale on which the ice point is 273·15°; i.e. °A = °C + + 273·15. The absolute scale was often called the Kelvin scale and temperatures measured in °A or °K. In SI units temperature is measured in kelvins (K) by defining thetriple point of water as 273·16 K. The ice point is then 273·15 K. The kelvin has the same size as the degree absolute.
133
fixed points (n.pl.) Those points on a temperature scale which
are fixed and which can be referred to a given property of a substance. The two main fixed points are the ice point and the steam point.
ice point (n.) That fixed point on a temperature scale at
which pure solid water (ice) and pure liquid water are in equilibrium at 101 325 N m-2 (760 mm Hg). It may be more simply described as the melting point of pure ice at standard pressure (101 325 N m-2 or 760 mm Hg).
steam point (n.) That fixed point on a temperature scale at
which pure water boils at standard pressure (101 325 N m-2; 760 mm Hg). This is 100° on the Celsius scale.
zinc point (n.) A fixed point on an international temperature
scale, fixed at the temperature at which zinc changes from liquid to solid (the freezing point of zinc) at standard pressure (101 325 N m-2). This corresponds to 419·58 °C.
international A practical scale which is as near as possible temperature scale (n.) to the thermodynamic scale but easily
referable to a series of fixed points. Triple point of hydrogen – 259·34 °C Boiling point of neon – 246·048 °C Triple point of oxygen – 218·789 °C Boiling point of oxygen – 182·962 °C Triple point of water– 0·01°C Boiling point of water – 100·0 °C Freezing point of zinc oil – 419·58 °C Free/ing point of silver – 961·93 °C Freezing point of gold –1064·43 °C

TASK 2
Sample review
The article under review is entitled “The bionic age begins”. It was published in the “Discover” magazine in 2005.
The article deals with the problem of using computer chips that can compensate for memory loss. The purpose of the research is to make a reliable, long-term connection between the hardware and the wetware, i.e. to create devices that employ electrodes to receive signals from and transmit them to the brain. It is shown that several groups of researchers have begun experiments on patients and even on animals. Special emphasis is placed on the fact that similar devices may be used to treat blindness, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease. A detailed description is given to the design of such devices as well as to the way they work.
For me this article is of general interest but of no professional significance, because I do research in the field of computer simulation. In my opinion it may be of interest to research teams engaged in studying bionic brain.

February 21, 2010
Dear Dr. Johnson,
I wish to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of April 6 and to thank
you for sending me the reprints.
I am now completing my experimental investigation and as soon as I obtain final results I will prepare another contribution and send it to you for publication.
Looking forward to further cooperation. Yours sincerely, (signature) V. Smirnov
Unit 2
Dear Professor…,
I’m writing to you in my capacity as Program Committee Co-Chair for the International Scientific Conference “Modern Problems of Microbiology and Biotechnology” to be held in Hamburg from October 1-8, 2010. I am writing to ask whether you would be willing to present a talk at the conference as an invited speaker. Invited talks will be one hour long, including a 10 minute question-answer session.
We have not yet established on which day your talk will be scheduled; should you accept this invitation, there is some flexibility we can use to accommodate your own scheduling preferences (although it would be on one of the main conference session days, Tuesday, October 3 through Friday, October 6.
In appreciation of your agreement to provide an invited talk, the Organizing Committee of the ISC would provide the cost of an economy class airfare from your home institution to the conference, hotel accommodations during the conference and free registration to the conference.
Unfortunately I will be away for an extended period of time and will not be able to read my email on a regular basis during this time. So, please, contact Professor Martha Palmer, an area chair and member of the ISC-2008 program committee, in your response. She has kindly agreed to coordinate the invited speaker sessions during my absence.
I do very much hope that you will be able to accept this invitation. Sincerely yours, (Signature) Program Committee Chairman

Dear James Smith,
I’m sorry I have not replied earlier to your letter and must apologize for not sending you the reprint you asked about until now. Unfortunately, I could not give proper consideration to your letter as I had to leave Russia on business for a month.
It gives me great pleasure to send you the reprint. I hope you will find the reprint helpful in your experiment. As soon as you get the final results of your experimental work, I would be grateful if you could send them to me as I wish to use them for plotting curves. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely,
