Early work in sensor networks found traditional layered communication architectures too restrictive and proposed cross-layer optimizations. Recent work in data aggregation, however, argues that the complexity of cross-layer optimizations may lead to fragile and unmanageable systems. This has inspired us to create Rime, a layered communication stack for sensor networks, with much tinner layers t...

CONTEXT The Reporter-Interpreter-Manager-Educator (RIME) evaluation framework is intuitive and reliable. Our preceptors' frustration with using summative tools for formative feedback and the hypothesis that the RIME vocabulary might improve students' and preceptors' experiences with feedback prompted us to develop and pilot a RIME-based feedback tool. METHODS The tool was based on the RIME vo...

The ingi (long and autonomous) and RIME (short and nonautonomous) non--long-terminal repeat retrotransposons are the most abundant mobile elements characterized to date in the genome of the African trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei. These retrotransposons were thought to be randomly distributed, but a detailed and comprehensive analysis of their genomic distribution had not been performed until no...

Earlier analyses of rime change (Lin 1989, 1993) posit subsegmental affixes such as featural or prosodic affixes (e.g. [+back, +round] or a mora/default vowel) and templatic output restrictions (e.g. an open syllable). In some cases of rime change, however, there are puzzling unexpected alternations or exceptions that are difficult to explain and analyze. This study examines Hong’an diminutive ...

Internet piracy has been one of the major concerns for Web publishing. In this study we present a system, RIME, that we have prototyped for detecting unauthorized image copying on the World-Wide Web. To speed up the copy detection, RIME uses a new clustering/hashing approach that rst clusters similar images on adjacent disk cylinders and then builds indexes to access the clusters made in this w...

The most widely accepted view of the syllable-internal architecture is the rightbranching onset plus rime structure with the subsequent division of the rime into the vocalic nucleus and the coda. However, this view has not been uncontested in grammatical descriptions, as various other interpretations including flat structures and non-rightbranching hierarchical descriptions have also been propo...

In this paper we present the image copy detection service we have built. We call this service RIME, for Replicated IMage dEtector. Given an image registered by its creator or distributor, RIME checks if near-replicas of the image (i.e., copies of the image that may have gone through alterations) exist on the Internet and returns a list of suspect URLs. The core technologies that the RIME projec...

Department of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 306 Talbot Laboratory, 104 S. Wright Street Urbana. IL 61801-2935 The effects of rime ice on horizontal axis wind turbine performance were estimated. For typzcal supercooled fog conditions found in cold northern regions, four rime ice accretwns on the 5809 wmd turbine airfoil were predicted usi...
