Fed up with the high tolls charged by your ordinary telephone service? If you're itching to cut the copper cord with your costly, traditional phone service, you need Talk is Cheap, the new, easy-to-understand guide to understanding and using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and other Internet telephone options. Technologies such as VoIP are gaining a great deal of attention these days as more people switch from standard telephone service to phone service via the Internet. But while the cost savings are outstanding, there are some issues with Internet telephony that you should know about. Are the connections reliable? Is the quality comparable? Will it include 911 services? James Gaskin's Talk is Cheap addresses these issues and many more by explaining how to make the switch and what the tradeoffs will be if you opt for Internet telephony over traditional phone services. Talk is Cheap focuses on the increasingly popular services from Vonage, which uses VoIP, and Skype--a free service that operates as a peer-to-peer (P2P) network with the ability to turn any PC, Mac, or Pocket PC into a telephone. The book explains your options; explores the background behind, the workings of, and differences between VoIP and P2P networks; and discusses the advantages and drawbacks of both technologies (including service offerings, quality, capabilities, completion rates, and more). Talk is Cheap then goes into detail on what you can expect in Internet service from traditional phone companies such as Verizon and AT&T. In addition, you will learn more advanced techniques, including how to turn your Palm or Pocket PC into an Internet phone and how to work with Wi-Fi phones and videophones. A straightforward, quick introduction to the ins and outs of using Internet telephone services, this book provides everything you need to make informed telephone decisions--whether you're thinking about the switch from traditional phone service or have already made it and want to get the most out of your new Internet telephone.

Recently, a number of semi-empirical equations have been used effectively to assist in the design and the analysis of interlaboratory studies for water quality parameters. In general, these equations are simple and straightforward in their applications to environmental data, covering a wide variety of chemical and physical water quality variables.The equations permit: (a) the calculation of the minimum number of laboratories that should participate in an interlaboratory quality control study; (b) the estimation of the between-laboratory variability in interlaboratory QC studies; and, (c) the determination of the bivariate relationship between paired data points in a Youden plot.

It is shown that the ellipse offers an appropriate contour or enclosed mapping for the graphical comparison and depiction of interlaboratory quality control duplicate data. In addition, a simple method for calculating the numerical values of the major and minor axes of the ellipse is proposed. Finally, confirmatory proof is given that the bivariate regression line is coincident with the major axis of the contour ellipse, and as a consequence, the slope of the regression line is equivalent to the tangent of the angle of inclination of the major axis with the abscissa.

A method is described for estimating analytical values for water quality parameters from sub-detection limit measurements. The method, which is referred to as the error approximation (EA) procedure, relies on quality control analytical procedures and on the assumption that the bulk of the analytical error associated with measurements at or near the detection limit exists within k = -3 to +3 standard deviations for normally (or approximately normally) distributed errors. The EA procedure also assumes that the analytical errors are equally distributed on each side of half the detection limit and that the sub-detection limit value lies between zero and the detection limit.
