About 8% by weight of cathode ray tubes is strontium oxide, which has been the major use of strontium since 1970. [3] [4] Color televisions and other devices containing color cathode ray tubes sold in the United States are required by law to use strontium in the faceplate to block X-ray emission (these X-ray emitting TVs are no longer in production).
It is named after Warren K. Lewis (1882–1975), [6] [7] who was the first head of the Chemical Engineering Department at MIT. Some workers in the field of combustion assume (incorrectly) that the Lewis number was named for Bernard Lewis (1899–1993), who for many years was a major figure in the field of combustion research.

Expressing resonance when drawing Lewis structures may be done either by drawing each of the possible resonance forms and placing double-headed arrows between them or by using dashed lines to represent the partial bonds (although the latter is a good representation of the resonance hybrid which is not, formally speaking, a Lewis structure).
TGOR – total gas oil ratio (GOR uncorrected for gas lift gas present in the production fluid [citation needed]) TH – tubing hanger; THCP – tubing hanger crown plug; Thr/Th# – thruster ('#'- means identification letter/number of the equipment, e.g. thr3 or thr#3 means "thruster no. 3" [citation needed]) THD – tubing head; THERM ...
Besides the simple oxide SrO, the peroxide SrO 2 can be made by direct oxidation of strontium metal under a high pressure of oxygen, and there is some evidence for a yellow superoxide Sr(O 2) 2. [13] Strontium hydroxide , Sr(OH) 2 , is a strong base, though it is not as strong as the hydroxides of barium or the alkali metals. [ 14 ]
The search for missing hiker Susan Lane-Fournier, 61, took a tragic turn after her body was found over the weekend in Welches, Oregon, an unincorporated community at the base of Mount Hood.
A gasoline pump or fuel dispenser is a machine at a filling station that is used to pump gasoline (petrol), diesel, or other types of liquid fuel into vehicles. Gasoline pumps are also known as bowsers or petrol bowsers (in Australia and South Africa), [2] [3] petrol pumps (in Commonwealth countries), or gas pumps (in North America).
