She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

Please email umma-programregistration@umich.edu.\nThis workshop requires a reading fluency of Japanese and a basic knowledge of Kabuki theater and the cultural history of the late Edo period.Exhibition co-curators Natsu Oyobe and Mariko Okada will lead an in-depth exploration of Kabuki prints in conjunction with the UMMA exhibition Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art. This workshop is designed for a general audience. Participants will become familiar with Kabuki prints and theater\, as well as the popular culture and society of the late Edo period.Kabuki prints are filled with information on the popular culture and human experience of the late Edo Period. Kabuki attracted enormous attention and developed a huge following in the late Edo Period—a phenomenon comparable to contemporary movie and television\nstars. The prints’ enormous popularity contributed to advances in print technology\,\nfacilitating an unprecedented speed of production and a sophisticated system of\ndistribution and circulation. This workshop requires a reading fluency of Japanese and a basic knowledge of Kabuki theater and the cultural history of the late Edo period.

Local artist and photographer Jane Kramer spent weeks exploring Michigan’s nature preserves and botanical gardens---including Matthaei---taking pictures of the shadows cast by native plant species. The shadow images were then transferred to handmade paper created from invasive plant species. For Kramer the shadows speak to the fragility of threatened plants and their struggle to survive in a changing environment that includes invasive species. The coupling of shadow and paper underscores the complex relationship between invasive and endangered plant species. Free admission. Open Wednesdays until 8 pm.

Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G.

They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment.

The growing evidence shows that research teams with raised ambitions to find practical solutions and seek foundational theories simultaneously have a greater chance of achieving both (ABC Principle: Applied & Basic Combined).\n\nThis talk will guide students\, faculty\, business leaders\, and government policy makers on how to produce high-impact research. Teamwork becomes an even more valuable approach since it facilitates the blending of research methods (SED Principle: Blend Science\, Engineering and Design Thinking). It’s time to replace Vannevar Bush’s dated (1945) linear model with new guiding principles to shift the way that governments fund research\, universities train students\, researchers conduct projects (teams\, partnerships)\, and organizations reward/recognize outcomes.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nBen Shneiderman is a Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Computer Science\, Founding Director (1983-2000) of the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory\, and a Member of the UM Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS) at the University of Maryland. He is a Fellow of the AAAS\, ACM\, IEEE\, and NAI\, and a Member of the National Academy of Engineering\, in recognition of his pioneering contributions to human-computer interaction and information visualization. His contributions include the direct manipulation concept\, clickable highlighted web-links\, touchscreen keyboards\, dynamic query sliders for Spotfire\, development of treemaps\, novel network visualizations for NodeXL\, and temporal event sequence analysis for electronic health records.\n\nShneiderman is the co-author with Catherine Plaisant of Designing the User Interface: Strategies for Effective Human-Computer Interaction (6th ed.\, 2016). With Stu Card and Jock Mackinlay\, he co-authored Readings in Information Visualization: Using Vision to Think (1999). His book Leonardo’s Laptop (MIT Press) won the IEEE book award for Distinguished Literary Contribution. He co-authored Analyzing Social Media Networks with NodeXL with Derek Hansen and Marc Smith. Shneiderman’s latest book is The New ABCs of Research: Achieving Breakthrough Collaborations (Oxford\, February 2016).\n\nA light lunch will be provided.

In New York on 28 October\, some of the most powerful countries in the world - both human rights allies and aggressors - will be elected to membership. In this context\, how can we hope to advance accountability - in Syria or Cambodia or Guantanamo\, for disappearances of human rights defenders and for violence against LGBT individuals and communities? Without political support for using both carrots and sticks\, how can we hope for intergovernmental processes like the UPR\, or the recommendations of UN experts\, to be implemented on the ground?\n\nFrom the perspective of an advocacy NGO\, there is a real danger in ending the first decade of the Human Rights Council without reflection. Current trends of political inertia and challenges to universality threaten the interdependence of both international human rights in principle\, and the Council and other UN human rights mechanisms in practice. And yet\, at the same time\, progressive governments\, activists and NGOs see great value in the results of the system\; building broad\, public confidence in those tools is essential. We will discuss a few cases\, both far from home and in Ann Arbor's own backyard\; I challenge you to find at least one thing about the UN\, whatever your interest\, that makes fighting for a better system worth it.\n\nFinally\, as an international community\, how do we get there? Thankfully\, there are some straightforward solutions that don't require rewriting history or international law\; just persistence and political will. We'll conclude with some recommendations for reform and sharing what we have done\, or think we can do\, to make the voices of human rights defenders\, communities\, and victims more present and more protected in the UN system.\n \nSarah Brooks is an advocate and programme manager at the International Service for Human Rights (ISHR)\, based in Geneva.

She received her M.A. in political science from the University of Michigan Rackham School of Graduate Studies in 1942 and in the fall of 1942 began at the University of Michigan Law School. She graduated from the Law School in 1944 and passed the Michigan bar examination. After graduation\, her first job was in the law office of Arthur Davis Shores\, the only Black lawyer in Alabama. Because of the hurdles placed in her way\, she was not able to sit for the Alabama bar examination before she married and moved to Fairmont Height\, Maryland. In 1946\, she became the first African-American woman to pass the Maryland bar and was invited to join the Howard University law faculty becoming the first woman to teach full-time on the law faculty.

However\, it has not been modeled in a phonetically comprehensive manner. The current study aims to present an analysis of VOT in English in terms of a model of phonetic knowledge. Previous research has shown that VOT in English voiceless stops is sensitive to factors such as the height\, tenseness\, and duration of the following vowel\, place of articulation\, the voicing of coda consonants\, and speaking rate. We analyzed 120 /p/- and /k/-initial words produced by 123 Canadian English speakers. VOTs of the initial stops were measured semi-automatically and all other segment durations were measured using forced alignment. The results of a mixed- effects regression support earlier findings that VOT is longer in /k/\, directly related to following vowel duration\, inversely related to speech rate\, longer before tense vowels\, and shorter before voiceless codas. Additionally\, we find that VOT is shorter when the following syllable starts with a voiceless obstruent (the effect is greater for plosives than fricatives)\, and that the most relevant measure of vowel duration includes the duration of postvocalic liquids\, even those that are typically analyzed as onsets. The effect of speech rate was shown to vary across speakers\, while the effects of voiceless coda and following voiceless onset were relatively consistent across speakers.

In the talk I present new convergence results for modern variants of this scheme\, in particular in the multi-phase case with arbitrary surface tensions. The main result establishes convergence towards a weak formulation of (multi-phase) mean curvature flow in the BV-framework of sets of finite perimeter. The proofs are based on the interpretation of the thresholding scheme as a minimizing movements scheme by Esedoglu and Otto. This interpretation means that thresholding preserves the structure of (multi-phase) mean curvature flow as a gradient flow w. r. t. the total interfacial energy. Our proofs are similar in spirit to the convergence result of Luckhaus and Sturzenhecker\, which establishes convergence of the minimizing movements scheme introduced by Almgren\, Taylor and Wang\, and Luckhaus and Sturzenhecker. Like theirs\, also ours is a conditional convergence result\, which means that we assume the time-integrated energies to converge to those of the limit. This is a natural assumption\, which is however not ensured by the compactness coming from the basic estimates. We show that the methods can incorporate external forces and a volume constraint. Furthermore\, I will present a similar result for the vector-valued Allen-Cahn Equation.

I will first review these variables and then show how they may be understood on a mathematical level as a generalization of geometric quantization. Playing a central role here is the Heisenberg group and its commutative subgroups. Our usual notion of classical space can be identified with a particular choice of commutative subgroup corresponding to a classical Lagrangian subspace of phase space\, that is a choice of classical polarization. There are however purely quantum polarizations that correspond to a choice of modular variables. Such quantizations generically involve a dimensional scale in addition to \hbar. In simple quantum systems\, the scale is set contextually\, for example by a slit spacing. A new notion of quantum space(time) emerges if we suppose instead that the scale is fundamental. I will provide substantial evidence that\, contrary to the textbook accounts\, this mechanism is present in ordinary string theory. Thus string theory describes an inherently quantum gravitational theory\, for which the usual string constructions correspond to certain semi-classical limits with a local space-time interpretation\, with string dualities manifest.

This collection of Newton polygons forms a partially ordered set\, and if we refine this construction by restricting to Newton polygons associated to elements in a fixed stratum of the affine Bruhat decomposition\, there is a unique maximum element. The primary goal of this talk will be to provide a closed formula for computing this maximal element in terms of directed paths in the quantum Bruhat graph. Curiously\, combining this result with work of Postnikov shows that our formula for the maximal Newton polygon coincides with that for the minimal monomial in the product of two Schubert classes in the quantum cohomology of the complete complex flag variety.

We formally investigate these arguments in a two-task moral hazard model in which the agent is privately informed about which task is less costly for him. We examine a simple class of incentive schemes that are “opaque” in that they make the agent uncertain ex ante about the incentive coefficients in the linear payment rule. Relative to transparent menus of linear contracts\, these opaque schemes induce more balanced efforts\, but also impose more risk on the agent per unit of aggregate effort induced. We identify settings in which optimally designed opaque schemes not only strictly dominate the best transparent menu but also eliminate the efficiency losses from the agent’s hidden information. Opaque schemes are more likely to be preferred to transparent ones when i) efforts on the tasks are highly complementary for the principal\; ii) the agent’s privately known preference between the tasks is weak\; iii) the agent’s risk aversion is significant\; and iv) the errors in measuring performance have large correlation or small variance.

This revolution is already impacting energy use\, transportation\, and employment. When combined with new materials and associated applications\, there is potential for disruptive changes to metal markets and hence mining and exploration.\n\nThese developments build on existing trends that already affect mining such as population growth\, basic human needs\, emerging economies\, and heightened expectations for quality of life and a clean environment. \nPredicting how these factors will play out in the short to long term is challenging. Potential decline in metal demand would clearly reduce exploration expenditure while rapid increases in metal use\, or supply constraints\, could cause metal-specific exploration booms\, as happened with rare earth elements in 2010-11. Neither support consistent exploration efforts.\n\nMining and exploration have always adapted to fluctuating demand. The first primitive miners responded to early metal use\, and new mines and more sophisticated tools developed over the subsequent 6000 years. The rate of change increased with the industrial revolution\, new bulk mining methods\, and dramatic changes in processing. Exploration responded with explorers going to new places\, with new ideas and technology\, and many excellent discoveries followed. While a spirit of adventure and field skills have remained consistent ingredients for success\, many aspects of modern exploration would be unrecognizable to practitioners operating thirty-five years ago. Change will continue but predicting the end-result in thirty-five years is as difficult as it would have been to predict the present thirty-five years ago. \nGiven current trends in exploration\, the following will be important areas for change.\n\nBusiness and partnerships: The effectiveness of funding strategies and partnerships among exploration-focused juniors and mid-tier or major producers has declined. New business models are needed. National companies and downstream technology companies both need to secure resources\, a need that may offer exploration investment opportunities. Lastly\, gaining community support will require models involving shared benefits and innovative partnerships.\n\nTechnology and tools: New mobile analytical equipment and sensors will generate increasing amounts of field data\, which if used in conjunction with traditional techniques\, will accelerate programs and decision making. Rapid drilling technology from fewer\, smaller drill pads with real-time data will result in more targets being tested for less dollars and less impact.\nData: The data explosion also threatens to hinder effective exploration if not managed appropriately. Intelligent methods for QA-QC\, integration and interrogation will help significantly if geared towards results.\n\nExploration strategy: In spite of new ore deposit models\, we struggle to understand system footprints\, the clusters of deposits they contain\, and the potential for quality discoveries. Brownfields and Greenfields exploration require different applications\, and Greenfields in particular needs renewed impetus that is only likely with new business and funding models.\nIn spite of global change and all its ramifications\, quality discoveries are clearly required. These still create the most value with the least impact. It remains to be seen whether we can harness change to improve our odds of making these discoveries.

For this purpose\, we use a model drug\, Clofazimine (CFZ)\, which is an FDA approved\, weakly basic and poorly soluble drug that has been used worldwide to treat patients with leprosy and tuberculosis diseases\, curing over 14 million people in the last twenty years\, to investigate its bioaccumulation and stabilization properties. During prolonged oral administration\, CFZ accumulates in macrophages of humans and mice as Crystal Like Drug Inclusions (CLDIs)\, which have been chemically characterized to be composed of hydrochloride salts of CFZ (CFZ-HCl) crystals. However\, the mechanism by which the formation and stabilization of these insoluble complexes in cells is not known. Thus\, due to sufficient proton and chloride levels in endolysosomes\, we hypothesize that the drug accumulation and stabilization processes are occurring inside intracellular compartments of likely endolysosomal origin\, in macrophages of humans as well as mice. To test our hypothesis\, we adapt a systems-based mathematical lysosomal ion regulation model which consists of lysosomal membrane proteins\, such as\, the Vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase)\, Cl-/H+ antiporter known as CLC7\, and membrane proton leak in order to investigate the key lysosomal parameters that play essential role in the physiological\, dose-dependent CFZ-HCl crystal bioaccumulation. Furthermore\, we examine the stabilization of the free base (CFZ) versus salt form (CFZ-HCl) of the drug by mathematically fitting an in vitro pH-dependent solubility data of CFZ-HCl crystals obtained at pH ranging between extracellular\, cellular and subcellular pH values\, and determining the solubility properties dictated by the apparent pKa\, intrinsic free base and salt solubility\, pHmax\, and Ksp values. Collectively\, our computational results as well as the CFZ-HCl solubility parameters in relation to the ion contents and pH of the microenvironment suggest that the physiological and preferential accumulation and stabilization mechanisms of CFZ-HCl crystals in macrophages\, more specifically in macrophage lysosomes\, are primarily determined by the lysosomal V-ATPase. \n\nJason Karslake\n\"Population Density Modulates Drug Inhibition and Treatment Outcomes for Bacterial Infections\"\n\nThe inoculum effect (IE) is an increase in the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of an antibiotic as a function of the initial size of a microbial population. The IE has been observed in a wide range of bacteria\, implying that antibiotic efficacy may depend on population density. Such density dependence could have dramatic effects on bacterial population dynamics and potential treatment strategies\, but explicit measures of per capita growth as a function of density are generally not available. Instead\, the IE measures MIC as a function of initial population size\, and population density changes by many orders of magnitude on the timescale of the experiment. Therefore\, the functional relationship between population density and antibiotic inhibition is generally not known\, leaving many questions about the impact of the IE on different treatment strategies unanswered. To address these questions\, here we directly measured real-time per capita growth of Enterococcus faecalis populations exposed to antibiotic at fixed population densities using multiplexed computer-automated culture devices. We show that density-dependent growth inhibition is pervasive for commonly used antibiotics\, with some drugs showing increased inhibition and others decreased inhibition at high densities. For several drugs\, the density dependence is mediated by changes in extracellular pH\, a community-level phenomenon not previously linked with the IE. Using a simple mathematical model\, we demonstrate how this density dependence can modulate population dynamics in constant drug environments. Then\, we illustrate how time-dependent dosing strategies can mitigate the negative effects of density-dependence. Finally\, we show that these density effects lead to bistable treatment outcomes for a wide range of antibiotic concentrations in a pharmacological model of antibiotic treatment. As a result\, infections exceeding a critical density often survive otherwise effective treatments.

In this talk\, we will present our recent subconvexity bound for the central value of the L-function associated to a fixed cuspidal newform f twisted by a Dirichlet character chi of a high prime power conductor. From an adelic viewpoint\, the analogy between this so-called \"depth aspect\" and the familiar t-aspect is particularly natural\, as one is focusing on ramification at one (finite or infinite) place at a time. We prove our results by exhibiting strong cancellation between the Hecke eigenvalues of f and the values of chi\, which act as twists by exponentials with a p-adically analytic phase. Among the tools\, we develop p-adic counterparts to Farey dissection and van der Corput estimates for exponential sums. This is joint work with Valentin Blomer.

In our culture\, viruses\, bacteria and parasites are mistakenly seen as the cause for illness\, when in reality they are the symptoms of a weakened immune system. When we are really healthy\, we can ward off these attacks without a problem. But how often do we aim to get rid of these symptoms with antibiotics\, sulfites etc.\, leaving the cause - a compromised immune system - undisturbed? \n\nAt this time of severe honeybee crisis\, we must ask ourselves not only which agricultural practices and chemicals contribute to the severe colony losses\, but also which beekeeping practices have been developed over the last 150 years that contribute to weakening the immune system of the honeybee. To avoid looking at the beekeeper's part of the problem\, we strive to aim at breeding a 'Super Bee'\, which is able to withstand all the inflictions imposed on her. This is\, to my understanding\, an illusionary goal! It is time\, and of highest importance\, to face the fact that beekeeping practices have become as exploitive and mechanized as the rest of agricultural practices and we beekeepers must also bear our own responsibility for the honeybees' plight. Biodynamic\, sustainable methods in beekeeping and agriculture offer real solutions.

With her sultry voice\, she seamlessly joins her poetry and contemporary folk song with a sound that is unique and identifiable to her alone.She's known for the hit \"Luka\" and also for a great song called \"Tom's Diner\" about the same diner that recurred in the \"Seinfeld\" television show. Thom Jurek of Allmusic.com calls Suzanne's latest\, \"Tales from the Realm of the Queen of Pentacles\,\" \"a welcome return by an artist who has remained stubbornly true to herself and only records when she has something new to say.\" It's hard to imagine a better meeting of venue and songwriter than The Ark!
