Voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) is an emerging technology that is beginning to replace traditional telephone services because it is much more cost effective for the consumer and businesses. Long distance charges are relatively a thing of the past, and in general there are more feature-rich services available over a VoIP line than traditional phone services. VoIP provides phone services with...

Many people drink dairy milk (from a cow) as a healthy source of calcium and protein. In every eight-ounce cup of dairy milk, there are eight grams of protein and twelve grams of carbohydrates. It?s also rich in other nutrients as well: one cup provides adults with about 30 percent of their daily calcium needs and about 50 percent of their vitamin B12 and riboflavin requirements. Despite these ...

A model of computation dealing with infinite alphabets is proposed. This model is based on replacing the equality test by unijication. It appears to be a natural generalization of the classical Rabin-Scott finiteThe basic idea is to equip the automaton with a finite set of proper stam (like in the classic model), in which the “real computation” is done. In addition, the automaton is equipped wi...

The Lawrence-Wentworth House, originally the home of one of Lowell's antebellum mill owners, has had numerous alterations and changes in use since its construction in 1831. Its original Greek Revival street facade was altered sometime after the Civil War to such an extent that it appears more Victorian than Greek Revival. Beginning at the turn of the century, the single family residence was con...

Network-phase lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) derived from the water-directed self-assembly of small molecule amphiphiles comprise a useful class of soft nanomaterials, with wide-ranging applications in structural biology and membrane science. However, few known surfactants enable access to these mesophases over wide temperature and amphiphile concentration phase windows. Recent studies have d...

use of the double ring infiltrometer to measure soil water infiltration in center pivot irrigation systems isn’t an accurate approach because the real conditions of infiltration under center pivot sprinklers is different from what happens in the double ring. in this study the infiltration parameters were evaluated in real conditions of a center pivot system. for this purpose a single ring with ...
