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.

The city is literally sinking while also experiencing climate change related sea-level rise. Add to that the yearly heavy rainfall the city sees from the Southeast Asian monsoon and a population that has swelled beyond ten million due to rapid urbanization\, and it’s easy to see why Jakarta’s infrastructure is experiencing significant strain. Jakarta isn’t an isolated example of this perfect storm. It represents the future difficulty that coastal cities all over the world are likely to face.\n\nUnderstanding that lessons learned in Jakarta can have a global impact\, University of Michigan alumus Frank Sedlar set out to help with flood mitigation in Jakarta. Frank earned his master of science degree from Michigan Engineering and also studied the Indonesian language while at the university. Photojournalist and filmmaker Marcin Szczepanski and writer Ben Logan from Michigan Engineering chronicled Frank’s experience while in Jakarta working on modern solutions to Jakarta’s growing problem.\n\nPlease join us for an opening reception on Friday\, October 21 at 5 PM at the International Institute Gallery.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter.

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. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

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.

Since inorganic nitrogen availability commonly limits primary production in the ocean\, where and how much nitrogen remineralization takes place in the water column has important feedbacks on oceanic carbon dioxide uptake and carbon sequestration. Despite these important impacts\, our understanding of the factors that determine the magnitude and distribution of nitrogen remineralization rates is severely lacking. Recent molecular\, isotopic and biogeochemical advancements now allow us to study nitrification\, the terminal step in nitrogen remineralization and a significant source of nitrous oxide to the atmosphere\, with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. This seminar will focus on experimental and observational efforts to identify the primary controls over nitrification rates in nearshore waters of the central California Current System\, where upwelling establishes strong spatial and temporal gradients in the physicochemical and biological properties of surface waters.

The corresponding situation for parameter spaces of higher degree polynomials is much more complicated\; there exists a wider variety of parameter space configurations\, and the corresponding straightening maps are typically not as well-behaved. In this talk\, we will consider the tricorn\, the connectedness locus of quadratic antiholomorphic polynomials z^2+c. The tricorn can be viewed as a prototypical object in the parameter spaces of various families of polynomials/rational maps. Our main goal is to demonstrate that every odd period hyperbolic component of the tricorn is the basis of a \"baby tricorn\" (much like the corresponding phenomenon for the Mandelbrot set)\, but the straightening map from any \"baby tricorn\" to the original one is discontinuous. This is the first known example where straightening maps fail to be continuous on a real two-dimensional slice of a holomorphic family of polynomials.

The Austrian Connection: Internationalism\, Empire\, and the Interwar Origins of the War on Drugs DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines the emergence of the global regime of drug prohibition between the two world wars. The transformation of substances such as cocaine\, heroin\, and marijuana from lightly regulated medical products to strictly controlled and generally illicit goods was not\, as is often argued\, simply an American imposition on the world. Rather\, it grew out of the internationalist aspirations of the League of Nations\, founded at the conclusion of the First World War in order to create a more moral and peaceful form of global politics. The presentation will show how the League of Nations’ drug control system sprang from competing visions for global transformation in the aftermath of the First World War\, including British efforts to revitalize its overseas empire\, an Austrian program to build a new postimperial order from the rubble of the Habsburg Monarchy\, and an American project to transcend European empire in East Asia. \n \nDavid Petruccelli completed his undergraduate studies at Brown University and his PhD in history at Yale University in 2015.

I will be presenting on some of my work from two of the largest fragmentation experiments in the world\, and addressing the questions: How do corridors affect invasion and native communities? And how does fragmentation affect species niches? Lastly\, I will present my research on drivers of stability in plant-pollinator systems. \n\nLight refreshments will be served at 4 p.m. UID:35758-5313835@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/35758 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Discussion,Ecology,Environment,Science LOCATION:Dana Natural Resources Building - 1040 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161031T153320 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161114T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161114T163000 SUMMARY:Presentation:GCC United Kingdom Info Session DESCRIPTION:Examine violence and power and their relationship to oil as a non-renewable natural resource on the GCC United Kingdom—Oil\, Development\, and the Discourse of Power program next spring.\n\nIn the winter course\, study the discourses and practices around resource extraction\, resource distribution\, energy security\, and “modernity” in North America\, Africa\, Europe\, the Middle East\, and Latin America.

The bias is known to depend on halo mass\, and this mass-dependence is sometimes used to constrain galaxy formation models and cosmological parameters. However\, such constraints are biased if mass is not the only thing which matters - a possibility which often goes by the name of Assembly Bias\, because the way in which a halo’s mass was assembled is known to correlate with its environment. I will discuss how the scale dependence of bias - which is generic - can be used to make progress even when assembly bias matters.

We present the inverse scattering transform method for the solution of the Cauchy initial value problem for sufficiently decaying initial data. As is well known\, the Toda lattice equations can be recast as an isospectral flow on Jacobi matrices and this gives rise to the existence of a Lax pair. Thus we move on to cover scattering theory for Jacobi matrices\, introduce the scattering transform and scattering data associated with a Jacobi matrix. Then we cover the time evolution of the scattering data under the dynamics induced by the Toda lattice equations and present the Riemann-Hilbert formulation of the inverse scattering transform. We review some results on long-time asymptotics of the solutions of the Cauchy initial problem for sufficiently decaying initial data. Time permitting\, we plan to consider Hamiltonian perturbations of the Toda lattice.

Ryff\, PhD\, is Director of the Institute on Aging and Hilldale Professor of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research centers on the study of psychological well-being\, an area in which she has developed multidimensional assessment scales that have been translated to more than 30 different languages and are used in research across diverse scientific fields. \n\nMore than 500 publications have been generated using her scales of well-being. Investigations by Ryff and colleagues have addressed how psychological well-being varies by age\, gender\, socioeconomic status\, ethnic/minority status\, and cultural context as well as by the experiences\, challenges\, and transitions individuals confront as they age. \n\nWhether psychological well-being is protective of good physical health is also a major interest\, with ongoing longitudinal investigations linking positive psychosocial factors to a wide array of biomarkers (neuroendocrine\, immune\, cardiovascular) as well as to neural circuitry. A guiding theme in much of this inquiry is human resilience – i.e.\, how some individuals are able to maintain\, or regain\, their well-being in the face of significant life challenge and what neurobiology underlies this capacity. \n\nRyff has generated over 200 publications in the areas described above\, and she currently directs the MIDUS (Midlife in the U.S.) longitudinal study\, which is based on a large national sample of Americans\, including twins. Funded by the National Institute on Aging\, MIDUS has become a major forum for studying health and aging as an integrated biopsychosocial process. She is also Principal Investigator of MIDJA (Midlife in Japan)\, a parallel to the MIDUS investigation\, for which she received an NIH Merit Award.\n\nHOSTED BY:\nKim Cameron\, co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations\; William Russell Kelly Chair of Management and Organizations\; Professor of Higher Education\n\nSPONSORS:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks University of Michigan Learning & Professional Development\, Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, Samuel Zell & Robert H.

In 1935\, Erdos and Szekeres proved the following: for any positive integer N\, there is a number f(N) such that f(N) points in the plane in general position has a subset of N points that forms the vertices of a convex polygon. Until this year\, the tightest known upper bound for f(N) was O(4^N / N^(1/2)). In 2016\, Andrew Suk nearly settled the conjecture by announcing a proof showing $f(N) = O(2^(N + o(N))$. I will outline the main ideas of Andrew Suk's proof.

In this case\, functoriality gives rise to a family of Tate classes on products of quaternionic Shimura varieties. The Tate conjecture predicts that these classes come from an algebraic cycle\, which in turn should give rise to a compatible Hodge class. While we cannot yet prove the Tate conjecture in this context\, I will outline an unconditional proof of the existence of such a Hodge class and discuss some applications. This is joint work (in progress) with A. Ichino.

We rely on error-driven learning mechanisms to construct increasingly accurate maps of our evaluative landscape\; and we use linguistically-structured representations to broadcast our commitments\, and to create shared understandings of the world that we inhabit. To increase the experience of social fluency\, we engage in numerous acts of supra-personal cognitive control\, to bring our individual understandings of the world into alignment. We teach one another to highlight particular aspects of our evaluative maps\, and to think and speak in ways that signal that convergence. Practices of exclusion\, oppression\, and marginalization can\, and often do stabilize around cultivated feelings of individual and social fluency. But feelings of disfluency can lead us to search for ways of revising our understanding of the world\, and they can lead us to help one another to find ways to shift our patterns of evaluation\, thinking\, and behaving. The trick is to figure out how to dealign\, so we can re-align\, in ways that will open up novel and transformative possibilities. That's no easy task—and I contend that it requires talking\, listening\, and walking together in struggle.

This North Carolina-born bluesman has been honing his craft for more than a decade. The son of classical musicians\, Seth grew up on a commune. He played the cello and switched to the guitar\, then to the blues\, after a DJ uncle introduced him to the likes of T-Bone Walker and Snooks Eaglin. The All Music Guide's J. Poet wrote that Seth \"uses the blues as a backbone for tunes that will equally please roots\, Americana\, folk\, pop\, and blues fans. He's a fine guitarist\, but his playing never calls attention to itself\; it's always placed in service of the song and the lyrics crackle with insight and subtle wit.\" Perhaps Country Standard Time said it best: \"If you subscribe to the Big Tent theory of Americana\, then Seth Walker —with his blend of blues\, gospel\, pop\, R&B\, rock\, and a dash country—just might be your poster boy.\" Seth was the MC for both nights of the 2014 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.
