Freneau's Satire of Rutgers

, Rutgers University

Dissimilation is a process by which one segment systematically avoids taking on a feature (or a set of features) of a neighboring segment. In Tashlhiyt Berber, for example, labial prefixes like the reflexive [m-] delabialize when they combine with a root that also contains a primary labial consonant, i.e., [b, f, m], producing the following alternations: [n-fara] ‘disentangle’, [n-kaddab] ‘cons...

Subversive Satire: the Glasgow Verses

The Glasgow Verses constitutes a formal anomaly in terms of genesis, appearance and meaning. Discovered only in 1995, the verses are part of a larger text, the so-called Hunter Codex, a manuscript MaruliÊ wrote and dedicated to his friend Dmine PapaliÊ. Closer investigation revealed that this collection of poems had been entirely overlooked by traditional scholarship, and that it was neither ch...

Rutgers University - WINLAB

I was hired at WINLAB to work on enhancing the drivers used for research and providing mechanisms to help enrich such research. WINLAB uses GNU/Linux and their main chipset on the 40x40 grid is the Atheros AR5212 802.11a/b/g chipset. The AR5212 chipset is what we call a SoftMAC chipset [1] in the industry, one which requires the MLME [2] state management to be handled in software. The driver us...

Value Flow Graph Analysis with SATIrE

This work discusses implementation of partial redundancy elimination using the value flow graph, a syntactic program representation modeling semantic equivalences. It allows the combination of simple syntactic partial redundancy elimination with a powerful semantic analysis. This yields an optimization that is computationally optimal and simpler than traditional semantic methods. A source-to-so...
