 Lewis Eugene Gilbert, II #860
Gilbert, 31, was sentenced to death in Cleveland County District Court for the Sept. 3, 1994, murder of Roxy Lynn Ruddell, 37.
Gilbert and a co-defendant were convicted of the 1994 murder of Roxanne Ruddell, a security guard at Lake Stanley Draper in Oklahoma.(1) Prior to this murder, Gilbert and his co-defendant had killed an elderly woman in Ohio, stolen her car, and driven it to Missouri.
Gilbert's final claim is that the evidence was insufficient to support a finding by the jury of the two aggravating circumstances in this case--that the murder was committed to avoid arrest and that Gilbert was a continuing threat to society.

Lewis is known by his work in thermodynamics, for the Lewis theory for acids and bases, and for the development of the valence theory in chemical reactions.
In 1916, Lewis proposed that the interaction between two electrons is the base of a valence bonding, an idea developed by Irving Langmuir which remains the base of modern valence theories.
Lewis was honored with the Davy medal by the Royal Society, the Arrhenius medal of the Swedish Academy, and the Gibbs and Richards medals.

In the journals of the expedition, Lewis refers to it as an octant and Clark refers to the same instrument as a quadrant.
What Lewis referred to as a nonius was actually a vernier scale; the micrometer was the vernier scale’s tangent screw.

 JCE 1999 (76) 1487 [Nov] A Biography of Distinguished Scientist Gilbert Newton Lewis (by Edward S. Lewis)
Gilbert N. Lewis was born in Weymouth, Massachusetts, in 1875, but his family moved to near Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1884.
Young Lewis (then only 17) was also said to have been disappointed with the quality of education in Nebraska, and this may have been part of the impetus for the family's move east.
Edward Lewis quotes his father as often saying, "Physical chemistry is anything interesting." Like many chemists of his time, Lewis went to Europe to complete his preparation for a career; he was in the laboratories of Ostwald in Leipzig and Nernst in Göttingen in 1900-1901.

He taught at Harvard and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1907–12) and from 1912 was professor of physical chemistry and dean of the college of chemistry, Univ. of California.
His recognition of the importance of the electron pair bond led to a revision of the theory of valence.
He also made special studies in thermodynamics, formulated the Lewis theory of acids and bases, and with Harold C. Urey, a graduate student of his, discovered heavy water (1932).

Edvard Graham Lewis is an artist whose career has spanned twenty years and nearly as many music styles.
Lewis has been very consciencious about changing the names of his projects whenever there was a change in lineup (to the point of even changing names when he recorded for different record labels).
Thus, you get Lewis and Gilbert recording as "Dome" on their own Dome Records, but when they released tracks on 4AD, they used the name "Cupol" for one record, and their own names for another.
