In the past thoria (thorium dioxide) was used as a contrast agent for medical X-ray radiography but its use has been discontinued.

"Thoria lies at the outer verge of the Land of Awful Shadow.

Thoria dispersed nickel finds its applications in various high temperature operations like combustion engines because it is a good creep resistant material.

His three-step process aimed at producing heat-resistant blocks from such oxide materials as zirconia, thoria or tantalia.

The use of thoria (thorium dioxide) as an agent was rapidly stopped as thorium causes liver cancer.

Thorium oxide (or thoria) alloy electrodes were designed for DC applications and can withstand somewhat higher temperatures while providing many of the benefits of other alloys.

He subsequently promoted Ben Amer to high government posts, including twice mayor of Benghazi and a leading member of the Legion Thoria, Gaddafi's organization of revolutionary committees.

As an alloy, thoriated tungsten metal is not easily deformed because the high fusion material thoria augments the high temperature mechanical properties, and thorium helps stimulate the emission of electrons (thermions).

Thorium is also used in its oxide form (thoria) in gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) to increase the high-temperature strength of tungsten electrodes and improve arc stability.

The -um suffix is consistent with the universal spelling alumina for the oxide, as lanthana is the oxide of lanthanum, and magnesia, ceria, and thoria are the oxides of magnesium, cerium, and thorium respectively.

Dead or American supported many artists over a nine-year period, including Oxes, Maypole, Lapsus Linguae, Jetplane Landing, Marmaduke Duke, The Icarus Line, Reuben, Dogs Die in Hot Cars and Thoria.
