We present Montblanc, a GPU implementation of the Radio interferometer measurement equation (RIME) in support of the Bayesian inference for radio observations (BIRO) technique. BIRO uses Bayesian inference to select sky models that best match the visibilities observed by a radio interferometer. To accomplish this, BIRO evaluates the RIME multiple times, varying sky model parameters to produce m...

This study examines a salient intrasyllabic phonological unit in Korean, the body-coda unit, its role in literacy skills in Korean, and a possible source of the salience of body-coda units in the spoken language. Data were collected from Korean-speaking, monolingual beginning readers (41 kindergarteners, 40 first graders). The results indicate that body-coda boundary (e.g., ca-t) is more salien...

Acoustic evidence for a distinction between low-toned intermediate (ip) and intonational phrase (IP) boundaries is presented from two speech corpora representing spontaneous, conversational speech and scripted broadcast speech. Robust effects of the two boundary levels are found in the phrase-final syllable rime in both corpora. Nucleus duration is longer and the F0 value at rime end is lower a...

The chemical composition of surface snow and rime ice has been measured in a winter mountain setting for the purpose of identifying the principal scavenging mechanisms. The siting permitted the results to be interpreted with minimal consideration of below-cloud scavenging processes and close comparison of the snow and rime ice compositions. The concentrations of all major ions in the snow were ...

We present an algorithm for detecting long similar fragments occurring at least twice in a set of biological sequences. The problem becomes computationally challenging when the frequency of a repeat is allowed to increase and when a non-negligible number of insertions, deletions and substitutions are allowed. We introduce in this paper an algorithm, Rime1 (for Repeat Identification: long, Multi...

Reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption (RIME) is a newly proposed clinical entity characterised by post-infectious mucositis involving two or more mucous membranes. The term expands the previously described Mycoplasma pneumoniae-induced rash and to include additional agents. We report case of RIME secondary SARS-CoV2 Influenza A coinfection with subsequent reactivation varicella zoster viru...

Happily, the RIME community has moved beyond the (tiresome) debate about whether qualitative research is as “good” or as “valuable” as quantitative research. We now take the view, most of us, that qualitative research presents a different way of exploring a different set of questions than those accommodated in quantitative studies.1 This progress has been good for medical education research, en...

Même si les femmes se retrouvent rarement sur la ligne de front en temps de guerre, elles en subissent néanmoins les conséquences de façon disproportionnée, comme c’est le cas dans plusieurs autres sphères de la vie contemporaine. Celles qui ont connu la guerre sont nombreuses à avoir subi la torture ou été témoins d’actes de torture ou de meurtre infligés à des proches et à des amis. Le recour...

Phonological priming between spoken words was examined using CVCVC bisyllabic pseudoword primes and word or pseudoword targets. The influence of different types of overlap was compared, prime and target sharing the coda, the rime or the final syllable. The task was target shadowing. Two priming conditions were used, the auditory targets being preceded by auditory primes in unimodal and by visua...
