SARASOTA, FL, December 14, 2010 (Press-News.org) TheBarCode News leads up to the January launch of its new App Department by highlighting different barcode iPhone apps throughout the month of December. Any app that utilizes barcodes (2D codes, QR Codes, UPCs, EAN) is up for review. This includes games, lifestyle apps, shopping apps, health-related apps -- the only prerequisite is that the application utilize a barcode in some way. Among the apps reviewed are: GoodGuide,Target, FoodScanner, and CR Shopper.
"The technology of the smartphone and the App Market have led to a multitude of iPhone apps featuring the use of barcodes, many of which are very useful or entertaining. But with so many clones out there it can be difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. Our goal is to provide consumers with accurate, insightful reviews by people who have conducted serious field-tests of these apps while offering developers another arena in which to be noticed," says Craig Aberle, President of The BarCode News.
All app reviews published in December will be collected in a new, permanent section of the publication. The BarCode News aims to keep an up-to-date resource of barcode apps as new ones are released and updates occur.
"The utility of the barcode is undergoing a period of drastic expansion with the widespread adoption of the smartphone. Its use as a marketing, communication, and productivity tool will only continue to grow and as it does so will the availability of quality barcode apps. The Barcode News aims to remain relevant and on the industry's cutting edge, which is why we are introducing the App Department to our readers," says Katrina Costedio, Editor.
The Barcode News Apps reviews will include the Android Market.
Developers who would like their app to be considered for review should email kc@barcode.com.

Radiall's Innovative Contact Design Lowers the Costs of ARINC 600 Connectors
2010-12-14
Aimed at helping manufacturers achieve costs reductions, the new Radiall NSX series Size 22 socket contact helps reduce the cost of ARINC 600 connectors. Because of the large number of contacts in many ARINC 600 connectors, any reduction in contact costs can significantly affect the overall connector costs. The contact combines a stamped and rolled clip inside a screw machined body. Use of stamped and rolled parts considerably reduces the manufacturing complexity--and the cost--of the contacts. The PC tail contacts are completely intermateable with existing ARINC 600 plug ...

Humans helped vultures colonize the Canary Islands
2010-12-13
The Egyptian vulture population of the Canary Islands was established following the arrival of the first human settlers who brought livestock to the islands. A genetic comparison of Iberian and Canarian birds, published in the open access journal BMC Evolutionary Biology, found that the Egyptian vulture population in the Canary Islands was likely established around 2500 years ago – around the same time as humans began to colonise the islands.

Apartment-dwelling children in nonsmoking units still exposed
2010-12-13
Children living in apartments are exposed to secondhand smoke even when no one smokes inside their own unit. This study, released online today by the journal Pediatrics, strongly suggests that housing type contributes to children's exposure to tobacco smoke, despite the best intentions of parents.
This new study from the University of Rochester Medical Center, MassGeneral Hospital for Children and the American Academy of Pediatrics' Julius B. Richmond Center for Excellence is the first to show significant evidence of increased tobacco smoke exposure in the blood of children ...
How Iapetus got its ridge
2010-12-13
For centuries, people wondered how the leopard got its spots. The consensus is pretty solid that evolution played a major role.
But it's only been five years since the arrival of high-resolution Cassini Mission images of Saturn's bizarre moon Iapetus that the international planetary community has pondered the unique walnut shape of the large (735 kilometer radius) body, considered by many to be one of the most astonishing features in the solar system.
And there's no consensus as to how a mysterious large ridge that covers more than 75 percent of the moon's equator ...
Ovarian cancer screening saves few lives
2010-12-13
The best currently available screening tests can only slightly reduce ovarian cancer deaths. That is the conclusion of new research published early online in Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. The results suggest that strategies other than screening, such as prevention and better treatments, will be needed to significantly lower the number of women who die from ovarian cancer.
No screening program for ovarian cancer has been proven to save lives, mainly because the disease is uncommon and tends to grow and spread without causing symptoms. ...
Biological diversity of ovarian cancer lessens value of screening
2010-12-13
DURHAM, NC – Cancer prevention experts have long been frustrated by the lack of a meaningful way to screen women for ovarian cancer. It is a relatively rare disease that often progresses with few symptoms until it is too late for potentially curative treatments, and elevated values of the most commonly used biomarker used in screening, CA125, are also related to other disorders.
Now, scientists at the Duke Cancer Institute say that incorporating the latest information about the biological diversity of ovarian cancer appears to lessen the potential value of screening ...
