Expanding its range of hydraulic hoses, power management company Eaton has launched the Dynamax EC881 hose series.Qualified to 1 million impulse cycles, this new two wire-braided hose has been designed to last and withstand tough applications. Intended for deployment in mobile applications such as compact construction equipment, agricultural vehicles, aerial lift platforms and forestry machines, this hose is also suitable for industrial applicati...

The diminutive size of our aortic valvebelies its essential role in pushing oxygen-rich blood from the heart into the aorta, our body’s largest vessel, and from there to all other organs. Yet for decades, researchers have focused less on damaged valves than on atherosclerosis, the gradual hardening of the blood vessels themselves.Thanks, in part, to pigs at the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s Arlington Agricultural Research St...

Grip chains are now on offer from chain manufacturer, iwis. These chains have wear- and corrosion-resistant clamping elements that ensure safe and reliable feeding, transport and positioning of thin-walled materials with a large surface area. Grip chains are used, for example, in packaging, medical technology, electronics, PCB production and metalworking industry applications. For use in food processing, all chains are available with food-grade l...

FAPESP and the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) are partners in the Center for Research in Genomics Applied to Climate Change, hosted by the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and formally established on December 13, 2017, during an event held at FAPESP's headquarters, in São Paulo.The research center’s mission is to create biotechnological assets that increase plant resistance to drought and heat, and to transfer ...

Within spindle screw pumps there is a simple construction which offers high reliability, performance and efficiency for liquid cooling systems. Here Marcus Braun, Territory Sales Manager, Laird Engineered Thermal Systems goes into more detail about spindle screw pumps and the different industries they are suited to.

The possibility of using the some of the world’s harshest landscapes to produce food, fresh water and clean energy is definitely possible and is proven with the recent opening of the Sahara Forest Project (SFP) launch station outside Aqaba, the Jordan port city.Last month, Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Norway’s Crown Prince Haakon attended the ceremony to mark the official opening of the SFP which began in 2012 and is part funde...

In agricultural machinery when a standard rolling bearing is installed the prospects of long service life are fairly poor.It is because of this, that most high-end OEMs in the agricultural industry rely on customer- and application-specific rolling bearings from NSK.NSK´s Agri Disc Hubs are filled with a special, high-performance grease that is capable of absorbing high pressure and therefore last throughout the useful life of the bearing.

Pico Technology has opened an office in Garbsen, Germany. The move is in response to German PicoScope users, distributors and vehicle manufacturers asking for local sales, training and support in Germany. This facility will also service the needs of customers from Austria and Switzerland.

Expansion of sugarcane cultivation in Brazil for ethanol production in areas not under environmental protection or reserved for food production could potentially replace up to 13.7% of world crude oil consumption and reduce global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) by as much as 5.6% by 2045.These estimates come from an international study with Brazilian participation, whose results were published in the journal Nature Climate Change.

In large parts of the developing world, people have abundant heat from the sun during the day, but most cooking takes place later in the evening when the sun is down, using fuel — such as wood, brush or dung — that is collected with significant time and effort.Now, a new chemical composite developed by researchers at MIT could provide an alternative.
