    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_body_temperature

    Charting of basal body temperatures is used in some methods of fertility awareness, such as the sympto-thermal method, and may be used to determine the onset of post-ovulatory infertility. [4] When BBT alone is used to avoid a pregnancy, it is sometimes called the Temperature Rhythm method.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biot_number

    The value of the Biot number can indicate the applicability (or inapplicability) of certain methods of solving transient heat transfer problems. For example, a Biot number smaller than about 0.1 implies that heat conduction inside the body offers much lower thermal resistance than the heat convection at the surface, so that temperature ...
