SMITHFIELD, RI, August 06, 2011 (Press-News.org) Honeywell Safety Products announces the new Miller ShockFusion Permanent Horizontal Lifeline (HLL) Roof System - a versatile surface-mounted lifeline system that accommodates most industrial and commercial roof designs including standing seam, membrane, built-up, metal sheathing, concrete and wood.
- Attaches to the surface of existing roof structures - Quick, easy installation reduces costs by requiring minimal labor and eliminating the need for structural roof penetration and repair.
- Significantly reduces system forces on the roof - In the event of a fall, the energy-absorbing, load distribution design ensures a secure connection to the roof while protecting the underlying structure.
- Energy-absorbing end/corner posts effectively manage system forces without tipping - Competitive systems tip, adding excessive lifeline deflection.
- Minimizes deflection requiring less fall clearance - Many applications require less fall clearance since multiple roof elevations and other lower-level obstructions must be avoided.
- Greater worker safety - Minimizing lifeline deflection decreases the probability of a worker falling over an edge or creating a fall for additional workers.
- Provides for an easier rescue - Should a fall occur, rescue is easier and quicker since the system minimizes the distance a worker falls.
- Protects multiple workers while providing maximum mobility - The continuous pass-through design provides safe access to all areas of a roof for up to six (6) workers per system.
- Durable design withstands the changing outdoor environment - Internal components are constructed of stainless steel for greater corrosion-resistance and extended service life. The steel post and base are zinc-plated and premium powder coated for greater durability.
Meets all applicable industry safety standards.

Better desalination technology key to solving world's water shortage
2011-08-06
New Haven, Conn.—Over one-third of the world's population already lives in areas struggling to keep up with the demand for fresh water. By 2025, that number will nearly double. Some countries have met the challenge by tapping into natural sources of fresh water, but as many examples – such as the much-depleted Jordan River – have demonstrated, many of these practices are far from sustainable.
A new Yale University study argues that seawater desalination should play an important role in helping combat worldwide fresh water shortages – once conservation, reuse and other ...
Researchers find way to help donor adult blood stem cells overcome transplant rejection
2011-08-06
DALLAS – Aug. 4, 2011 – Findings by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers may suggest new strategies for successful donor adult stem cell transplants in patients with blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
The study, published Aug. 5 in Cell Stem Cell, showed for the first time that adult blood stem cells can be regulated to overcome an immune response that leads to transplant rejection. It also opens up further studies in stem cell immunology, said Dr. Chengcheng "Alec" Zhang, assistant professor of physiology and developmental biology at UT Southwestern ...
Drinking just 1 measure of spirits increases the risk of acute pancreatitis
2011-08-06
Drinking just one 4cl measure of spirits can increase the risk of an acute attack of pancreatitis, but wine or beer does not appear to have the same effect, according to a study published online by BJS, the British Journal of Surgery.
Researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden followed 84,601 people from 46 to 84 years of age from the general population in Vastmanland and Uppsala for a median of ten years. During that time 513 developed acute pancreatitis.
"Our study revealed a steady increase between each measure of spirits a person drank on one occasion ...
Sexually extravagant male birds age more rapidly, but try to hide it
2011-08-06
For male houbara bustards sexual extravagance is the key to attracting mates in some of the world's harshest desert environments. However, new research in Ecology Letters reveals that males who perform the most extravagant sexual displays will suffer from premature biological aging and will pass their reproductive prime years earlier than their less ostentatious rivals.
Houbara bustards, Chlamydotis undulata, are found across the deserts of the Southern Hemisphere, from the Persian Gulf to the Gobi Desert, and for six months of the year the males spend their days in elaborate ...
Spotting weaknesses in solid wood
2011-08-06
This release is available in German.
People who buy an expensive solid wooden table or wardrobe want to be certain that their new piece of furniture is absolutely faultless. Pianos – whether upright or grand – can only produce an opulent tone if their soundboard, bridge and keyboard are made of high-quality materials. And wood that is free of imperfections is also essential in house building and window construction: load-bearing wooden beams need to be of the highest quality, as even the smallest crack can cause them to fail.
Research scientists from the Fraunhofer ...
Making runways safer
2011-08-06
This release is available in German.
It might have happened over ten years ago now, but most people can still recall the Concorde crash: the TV images showing the supersonic jet with flames streaming from its tail were unforgettable. It was a piece of metal lying on the runway during take-off that caused the accident. The aircraft's tire burst as it rolled over the metal, sending chunks of rubber flying into the fuel tank, which then exploded – with the loss of 113 lives. To avoid accidents such as this, airport staff drive up and down runways at six-hour intervals ...

La Ninas distant effects in East Africa
2011-08-06
5 August 2011 | Potsdam: For 20 000 years, climate variability in East Africa has been following a pattern that is evidently a remote effect of the ENSO phenomenon (El Niño Southern Oscillation) known as El Niño/La Niña. During the cold phase of La Niña, there is marginal rainfall and stronger winds in East Africa, while the El Niño warm phase leads to weak wind conditions with frequent rain. Moreover, during the coldest period of the last ice age about 18 000 to 21 000 years ago, East Africa's climate was relatively stable and dry. This result was published by an international ...
Disappearance of genetic material allows tumor cells to grow
2011-08-06
Malignant Sézary syndrome is characterized by the reproduction of a special type of white blood cells in the skin of male and female patients. In contrast to most other skin lymphomas, patients with Sézary syndrome manifest not only skin contamination but also contamination of blood and lymph nodes by degenerate T cells even at the onset of the disease. The researchers investigated highly purified tumor cells from patients with Sézary syndrome using modern, high-resolution genetic procedures (the so-called array comparative genomic hybridization technique) for hitherto ...
Have we met before? Scientists show why the brain has the answer
2011-08-06
The research, led by Dr Clea Warburton and Dr Gareth Barker in the University's School of Physiology and Pharmacology and published in the Journal of Neuroscience, has investigated why we can recognise faces much better if we have extra clues as to where or indeed when we encountered them in the first place.
The study found that when we need to remember that a particular object, for example a face, occurred in a particular place, or at a particular time, multiple brain regions have to work together - not independently.
It has been known for some time that three brain ...
