Waste industry parts supplier expands its efforts for a greener environment.

2011-09-19

ELGIN, IL, September 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) Impact Plastics, an industry leader in providing superior quality, environmentally-friendly solutions to the waste industry, announces the debut of a completely green caster wheel, which is 100% manufactured from recycled automobile battery casings.

The USA Ultimate Caster Wheel is specifically designed to withstand even the toughest environment. It is injection-molded from blended polymers that provide excellent impact strength and resistance to chemical and solvents. And this dependable wheel is made only in the USA. It is available in 6"x2" and 8"x2" wheel sizes and is a welcome replacement to the less reliable mold-on rubber wheel.

"We are excited to introduce this entirely green product that is the most durable wheel on the market," Impact Plastics Owner Scott Lemajeur stated. "The USA Ultimate Caster Wheel reflects our commitment to sustainability."

"All the drivers really like them, and they make their push out routes much easier because the cans roll a lot better," said Todd Jacobsen, Container Shop Supervisor of Aspen Waste Systems in Minneapolis, Minnesota. "We were using mold-on rubber casters before, and they weren't rolling well. We have also been using these new ultimate casters on some compactor applications and are very happy."

Lack of protein FKBP51 in old mice improves resilience to depressive behavior

2011-09-19

Tampa, FL (Sept. 15, 2011) -- Decreasing expression of a protein associated with susceptibility to depression made old mice resistant to depressive-like behavior while improving their hormonal response to stress, a study led by researchers at the University of South Florida found. The lack of this protein, FKBP51, did not adversely affect their memory, learning, or basic motor functions. The study suggests that drug discovery efforts aimed at reducing levels of the protein FKBP51 may yield new antidepressant therapies. The findings appear online today (Sept. 15, 2011) ...

"At this point, however, we're not in a position to make any public ...

Moms who eat high-fat diet before, during pregnancy 'program' babies to be fat, at risk

2011-09-19

PORTLAND, Ore. — New research in mice indicates that babies born to moms who eat a high-fat diet before and during pregnancy have a higher fat mass and smaller livers than babies whose moms consume low-fat fare, according to scientists at Oregon Health & Science University Doernbecher Children's Hospital. The good news, the researchers report, is that moms who switch to a low-fat diet during pregnancy considerably reduce the risk of these negative effects. Their findings are published online in the American Journal of Physiology and Endocrinology Metabolism, a publication ...
