GENEVA, Switzerland, June 11 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont is launching an exciting new concept in TYVEK(R) protection: the DuPont(TM) TYVEK(R) Dual coverall. The protective garment features a front and sleeves made entirely from TYVEK(R) fabric and a back panel made of DuPont's finely engineered advanced composite technology (ACT) fabric.

Why the new Dual garment design?

In certain industries, limited-use coveralls are worn to protect workers from hazards like water-based liquid splashes, particles, and general dirt. Traditionally, garments offer the same level of protection overall, but in some specific cases the risk of exposure may be largely frontal, whilst areas like knees and elbows nonetheless typically demand high abrasion resistance & robustness.

HOUSTON, June 11 /PRNewswire/ --

HOWCO Group, a global supplier of hi-tech materials to the oilfield services industry, has added a new corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) to its family of CRAs.

INCOLOY(R) alloy 945 will be especially useful in sour well drilling and deep water drilling projects. The new alloy is suitable for applications requiring high strength (125 minimum yield) and corrosion resistance in extreme conditions.

INCOLOY(R) alloy 945 has superior corrosion resistance to alloy 718, and it was developed specifically for use in harsh environments with extreme heat and pressure. It is a specialized nickel hybrid of alloy 925 and alloy 718. It offers the best of both alloys -- higher strength capability and excellent corrosion-resistance.

Long-tailed macaques eat mostly fruit — but when resources are scarce, they’ve been known to get creative with their cuisine. When living near humans, they raid gardens and learn to beg for food. Sometimes they even steal food from inside houses.

Now, for the first time, scientists have observed long-tailed macaques fishing with their bare hands.

Nature Conservancy scientist Erik Meijaard and other researchers are the first to scientifically document this rare conduct. In a recent article published in the International Journal of Primatology, Meijaard and his coauthors say that, while conducting field studies in Indonesia, they have repeatedly observed long-tailed macaques catching fish from fast-flowing rivers.
