2011-09-19

FRANKLIN, MA, September 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) The makers of Nashua Tape Products, a leading manufacturer of commercial and residential HVAC products for more than 50 years, are pleased to introduce a complete kit for insulating both indoor and outdoor pipes - just in time for winterization projects. The convenient kit includes user-friendly materials needed to wrap and insulate both hot and cold pipes measuring between 1" to 6" in diameter. The insulation material has been designed to accommodate a variation in pipe diameter allowing users to maximize the insulation with less waste.

"Improving the energy efficiency of pipes is a way for homeowners to reduce energy loss and protect against needless cracks or damage that can result from the lack of insulation." says Mike Hill, Vice President - Industrial, [yrl=http://www.berryplastics.com]Berry Plastics[/url]. "The convenience of having all of the right materials included in the Pipe Insulation Kit eliminates the guess work of product selection and allows the consumer or contractor to efficiently and effectively insulate exposed pipes," he adds.

The kit includes everything needed for complete self-installation: easy to understand directions, 6" x 50' reflective specialty pipe insulation which is used to wrap the pipe length and a roll of UV-resistant FlexFix film tape to seal and secure the insulation.

New Nashua Pipe Insulation Kits will be available for purchase at Ace Hardware in September 2011 and True Value locations starting October 2011. Also look for Nashua Water Heater Jacket Kits available this fall. For further information, please contact Hillary Johnson at hillaryjohnson@berryplastics.com or by calling 508.918.1744.

Scientists develop new potato lines to wage war on wireworms

2011-09-19

When wireworms feast on potatoes, the results aren't pretty: The spuds' surfaces are left punctured, pitted and unappealing. For the past few years, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists and their colleagues have sought a solution in the form of spuds with genetic resistance to the worms, with special attention focused on two wild potatoes from Chile and Bolivia: Solanum berthaultii and S. etuberosum. Previous studies showed that the wild potatoes resisted Colorado potato beetles and green peach aphids, two very different pests. Given this broadspread resistance, ...

Fast-evolving genes control developmental differences in social insects

2011-09-19

Genes essential to producing the developmental differences displayed by social insects evolve more rapidly than genes governing other aspects of organismal function, a new study has found. All species of life are able to develop in different ways by varying the genes they express, ultimately becoming different shapes, sizes, colors and sexes. This plasticity permits organisms to operate successfully in their environments. A new study of the genomes of social insects provides insight into the evolution of the genes involved in this developmental plasticity. The study, ...
