BOLTON, ENGLAND, July 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) Parcel delivery specialist Parcel2Go says companies and individuals should be looking to make the most out of parcel tracking services now available online. Although the technology has been around in various forms for a number of years, its use is becoming more widespread thanks to the growth of ecommerce and the success of auction and retail sites such as eBay.
As part of changes to eBay's Top-rated Seller criteria, the company will soon require its most successful sellers to upload tracking information, within handling time, on 90 per cent or more of US transactions. Last week the auction and retail firm confirmed it would give sellers an extra month to comply with the new rule, but Parcel2Go says the direction the firm has taken shows the importance consumers now place on being able to keep an eye on goods they have purchased over the internet while they are in transit.
Parcel2Go marketing director Richard Mercer said: "New technology has had a profound effect on the way that parcels are sent around the globe, and one of the major advances involves parcel tracking and the fact that it is now possible for senders and recipients to keep an eye on consignments as they head to their final destination.
"eBay's decision to make it compulsory for its Top-rated Sellers to pass on tracking information to buyers highlights just how important these services have become and how much value they hold for businesses and private individuals."
On Parcel2Go.com, all of the leading courier companies offer parcel tracking services across a wide range of delivery services. Firms including City Link, Parcelforce, FedEx and UPS all offer tracking services, which are used by a whole variety of customers, from sole traders sending goods to eBay buyers, to private individuals shipping important packages off to friends and relatives living on the other side of the world.

BUSM researchers identify role of FOXO1 gene in Parkinson's disease
2012-06-30
(Boston) – A recent study led by researchers at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) revealed that the FOXO1 gene may play an important role in the pathological mechanisms of Parkinson's disease. These findings are published online in PLoS Genetics, a peer-reviewed open-access journal published by the Public Library of Science.
The study was led by Alexandra Dumitriu, PhD, a postdoctoral associate in the department of neurology at BUSM. Richard Myers, PhD, professor of neurology at BUSM, is the study's senior author.
According to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation, ...
Stealthy microscopy method visualizes E. coli sub-cellular structure in 3-D
2012-06-30
URBANA, Ill. — A sub-cellular world has been opened up for scientists to study E. coli and other tissues in new ways, thanks to a microscopy method that stealthily provides three-dimensional, high-quality images of the internal structure of cells without disturbing the specimen.
By combining a novel algorithm with a recently-developed add-on technique for commercial microscopes, researchers at the University of Illinois have created a fast, non-invasive 3D method for visualizing, quantifying, and studying cells without the use of fluorescence or contrast agents.

Study identifies pathway to enhance usefulness of EGFR inhibitors in lung cancer treatment
2012-06-30
Many lung cancers are driven by mutations in the epidermal growth-factor receptor (EGFR), and so it makes sense that many successful modern treatments block EGFR activity. Unfortunately, cancers inevitably evolve around EGFR inhibition, and patients with lung cancers eventually relapse. A University of Colorado Cancer Center study published today in the journal Cancer Research details a signaling pathway, known as 'the canonical Wnt pathway', that lung cancer cells use to escape from EGFR-targeted therapy – and suggests that by disrupting this pathway, we could lengthen ...
Epilepsy drugs increase risk of fractures and falls
2012-06-30
New research has shed light on the high risk of fractures, falls, and osteoporosis among epilepsy patients using antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) with most patients unaware of the risks associated with taking the drugs.
The study led by the University of Melbourne and published in the prestigious Neurology journal, found that people taking antiepileptic drugs are up to four times more likely to suffer spine, collarbone and ankle fractures and are more likely to have been diagnosed with osteoporosis.
The study also revealed that these patients are more than four times as likely ...
BGI demonstrated genomic data transfer at nearly 10 gigabits per second between US and China
2012-06-30
June 29, 2012, Cambridge, Mass., and Shenzhen, China – BGI, the world's largest genomics organization, announced today that a group of scientists and researchers successfully demonstrated genomic data transfer at a sustained rate of almost 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) over a new link connecting US and China research and education networks. This data rate is equivalent to moving more than 100 million megabytes -- over 5,400 full Blu-ray discs -- in a single day.
The data transfer demonstration was part of a June 22nd event in Beijing celebrating a new 10 Gigabit US ...
Colorful light at the end of the tunnel for radiation detection
2012-06-30
LIVERMORE, Calif.—A team of nanomaterials researchers at Sandia National Laboratories has developed a new technique for radiation detection that could make radiation detection in cargo and baggage more effective and less costly for homeland security inspectors.
Known as spectral shape discrimination (SSD), the method takes advantage of a new class of nanoporous materials known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Researchers discovered that adding a doping agent to an MOF leads to the emission of red and blue light when the MOF interacts with high-energy particles emanated ...
Falling lizards use tail for mid-air twist, inspiring lizard-like 'RightingBot'
2012-06-30
Lizards, just like cats, have a knack for turning right side up and landing on their feet when they fall. But how do they do it? Unlike cats, which twist and bend their torsos to turn upright, lizards swing their large tails one way to rotate their body the other, according to a recent study that will be presented at the Society for Experimental Biology meeting on 29th June in Salzburg, Austria. A lizard-inspired robot, called 'RightingBot', replicates the feat.
This work, carried out by Ardian Jusufi, Robert Full and colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, ...
SACLA draws acclaim for unique XFEL design
2012-06-30
A detailed technical introduction to the SPring-8 Angstrom Compact free-electron Laser (SACLA) appeared online in Nature Photonics. The attention on the world's second XFEL facility comes in response to its record-breaking size and performance: SACLA boasts the shortest wavelength in the world (0.63 Angstroms), an extremely broad wavelength range (0.63 - 3 Angstroms) and a very high peak output of 10 GW. SACLA achieves this performance despite having an overall length of only 700 meters, a fraction of the 2 - 4 km taken up by XFEL facilities in the United States and Europe.

Preventing the immune system from going haywire during sepsis
2012-06-30
Septic shock is the most severe outcome associated with pathogen infection in the bloodstream. It is a life-threatening condition invariably leading to multiple organ dysfunctions. Currently, septic shock is one of the most frequent causes of death in intensive care units worldwide.
However, it is already known that sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction is not a direct effect of the pathogen invasion itself but rather an overreaction of the host immune system against the infection. Many strategies aiming at holding back the extreme response of the immune system have ...
Britain's urban rivers bounce back
2012-06-30
Urban rivers throughout England and Wales have improved dramatically in water quality and wildlife over the last 20 years.
That's the conclusion of one the largest studies of national trends in river health ever undertaken.
After decades of pollution, typically from poorly treated sewage and industrial waste, rivers in or near Britain's major urban areas are regaining insects such as mayflies and stoneflies that are typical of fast-flowing, oxygen-rich waters. The range of invertebrates found has also increased, on average, by around 20%.
Researchers from Cardiff ...
