When discussing climate change, for example, Franken said colleagues really should be basing policy discussion not on climate deniers opinions about what scientists might have meant in a manufactured email scandal he calls climategate-gate, but on actual science that uses "the most accurate data available on global temperatures from things, again, called 'thermometers.'" ❋ Shawn Lawrence Otto (2011)
The remaining 35% of mercury usage is in scientific measuring instruments such as thermometers and barometers, and is combined with other metals and used for in fillings for teeth (called amalgams by dentists). ❋ Unknown (2009)
The agreement could restrict the international trade of commodity mercury, phase out mercury from products such as thermometers and dental amalgams, reduce the use of mercury in industrial processes, and limit emissions from major sources such as coal-burning power plants. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Through this connector, developers can add peripherals, such as thermometers (making it effectively a tiny weather station) and more. ❋ Unknown (2008)
It remains a computer game until the results are compared to reality, and by reality, I mean what can be measured by actual gadgets such as thermometers, not some other computer games. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Well designed and simple instruments such as thermometers would likely show, at a guess, a gaussian distribution for linearity errors – can anyone quanitfy this? ❋ Unknown (2007)
Yup those "thermometers" were registering something alright! ❋ Barbylon (2005)
It is used primarily for the manufacture of industrial chemicals or for electrical and electronic applications such as thermometers, especially ones that are used to measure high temperatures. ❋ Staff Writer (2010)
Mercury also continues to be used in products, such as thermometers, thermostats, fluorescent light bulbs and a wide range of electronic equipment, including computer monitors and cell phones. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Other sensors such as thermometers and electricity meters can also provide real-time information that can trigger actions or warnings. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Boone, Kenton and Campbell County residents can dispose of mercury-filled items such as thermometers, barometers, blood pressure devises, pressure gauges, fluorescent bulbs, hot water heater probes, silver amalgam waste, electrical switches and relays for cars. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Other sensors, such as thermometers and electricity meters, can also provide real-time information that can trigger actions or warnings. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Some of the organization's past accomplishments, working in conjunction with EPA and other health organizations, include virtual elimination of the use of mercury-based medical supplies, such as thermometers; and a major reduction of hospital incineration (which was found to be a major source of dioxin). ❋ Unknown (2009)
The researchers used these changes as "thermometers" to probe how the energy of the electrical current was dissipated among the different modes of vibrational motion of the atoms of forming the nanotube and those of the supporting substrate.
