The Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) has identi ed the area of information systems, broadly construed, as one of three core areas for the department's future directions. In tandem with a mandate from the UIUC College of Engineering for the department to double its number of tenure-track faculty, this focus on information systems has resulte...

—Over low bit rate channels, we adopt the streaming of nonlinearly sampled video frames (i.e., key-frame slideshow) synchronized with the audio stream. Given the channel and buffer limits, we wish to obtain a set of sampled frames that is not only feasible (i.e., no frame drop) but also optimal in terms of maximal information flow (given that the semantic information contents of each frame can ...

By Dr. Yingying Zhou, InterMedia Based on the AudienceScapes nationally representative survey of Zambia, conducted in April and May 2010 The report focuses on how people of different social groups in Zambia gather, share and assess information on key health issues. It showcases how the AudienceScapes survey data can be used by the development community to better target communications and inform...

This paper treats Chinese species of the rove beetle genus Plastus Bernhauer, 1903, subgenus Plastus s. str. (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Osoriinae). None of the 87 previously described species of this subgenus are known from China. The following five new species are described and illustrated: Plastus Plastus amplus Wu & Zhou, sp. n. from Xizang, Plastus Plastus rhombicus Wu & Zhou, sp. n. from ...
