.. LAST™ armour is a unique armour system for use on aircraft and ground vehicles. It's lightweight, rapidly deployable, field installable and battle proven. LAST armour can be tailored to defeat specific threats, including small arms fire, heavy machine gun armour piercing rounds, 30 mm automatic cannon fire and improvised explosive devices. A major feature that differentiates LAST armour from conventional armour solutions is its unique high-strength hook-and-loop fastening system. Benefits are : LAST Armour can be installed in the field by the crew without the need for cutting, welding, drilling or other specialised equipment; It is applicable to both soft-skinned and armoured platforms which require upgraded protection; Modular kits can be readily moved between platforms and can typically be transferred within one hour; The modular design allows straightforward repair of battle damage; The hook-and-loop technology minimises the need for metallic fixings that could contribute to the spall threat.

Radiant mulch : the answer to greenhouse heating.... An example is given of 5400 m² melons grown in polyethylene-clad tunnels, 33% of the ground area being covered by radiant mulch consisting of 2 sheets of 400 mu m gauge flexible PVC welded together by high frequency welding. The heated water passes through the mulch and acts as an energy reserve in addition to the solar energy entering the greenhouse.

CONT

In the first greenhouse the ridges between two tomato crop rows were covered with 3 flat black PVC tubes, used as a radiant mulch, obtaining in this way a 60% covering of the soil.
