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 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. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012319@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161117T103549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161117T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161117T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Maize Collective in Conversation with Machine Gun Kelly & Mod Sun DESCRIPTION:Maize Collective will be hosting Machine Gun Kelly and Mod Sun for a panel on recording\, mixing\, mastering\, and the music industry in general on Thursday November 17th from 10AM - 11:30AM in the Anderson Room on the Union.

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 genre of the period is highly appreciated in Japanese art history. \n \nSince Japanese portraiture is not well known to English-speaking world\, he will discuss some of the basic aspects of portrait making in medieval Japan. They are: \n \n ・The Motivations for the Production of Portraiture \n ・Who Made Them? Who Owned Them? \n ・Formal analysis of Japanese Medieval Portraits \n ・The Formal Schema of Portrait Painting \n \nand he will examine how the artists of the periods presented the subjects following the visual convention of the day. \n \nMichio Yonekura is an art historian specializing in Japanese painting. After he received his MA at the Tokyo National Institute of Fine Arts and Music\, he joined the Tokyo National Research Institute of Cultural Properties\, where he engaged in research and study of Japanese art for twenty-five years\, serving as Director of the Department of Archives from 1998 to 2001. He then became professor in the Faculty of Liberal Arts at Sophia (Jōchi) University in Tokyo\, and taught Japanese art history there until 2011. He has been a visiting professor and given lectures on medieval Japanese portraiture and narrative painting at Heidelberg University\, Waseda University\, and Harvard University. \n \nProfessor Yonekura's primary field of research is medieval Japanese painting. By focusing on the visual representation of the subjects in portraiture\, landscape\, and narrative paintings of the 13th and 14th century (Kamakura-Nanbokuchō periods)\, he has sought to re-examine traditional master narratives of Japanese art history. His research has been published in books and articles on the iconic Jingoji portraits and illustrated biographies of renowned Buddhist monks. His main current research topic is the late 13th century Illustrated Biography of Ippen.

Many researchers have cited Chincha as a classic case of indirect rule\, but current research\, and research conducted by the Pisco-Chincha project in the 80s\, has demonstrated that it more accurately understood as joint rule. Due to the density of sites and rich ethnohistorical information\, the Chincha Valley has attracted attention from ethnohistorians and archaeologists alike throughout the years. The majority of this research has focused on costal sites due to the Chincha Kingdom’s involvement in prestigious long distance maritime trade\, but in order to understand how the specialist economy of the Chincha polity functioned in the Late Horizon\, the Proyecto de Investigación Arqueológico Las Huacas has targeted excavations at the inland agricultural center of Las Huacas. I will present research from excavations and an architectural analysis of Las Huacas\, and discuss plans for further excavations at Las Huacas in order to understand the administration of the site and the contributions that it made to the Chincha and Inca economies. I will develop this research alongside other models of Inca Imperial expansion that address the relationship between the expressions of Inca power and the institutions that supported them.

Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

We obtain several transformation rules with respect to f^! and f_* for various classes of morphisms f: X \to Y\, e.g.\, for f smooth one has an isomorphism f^! \tau = \tau f^!. Part of the reason for working in this generality is that one has an equivalence with constructible etale p-torsion sheaves up to nilpotence of Cartier modules and these results further support the idea that the test module construction relates to etale nearby cycles similarly to the complex situation where multiplier ideals relate to complex nearby cycles.\nThis is joint work with Manuel Blickle.

The material strength emerges through the development\, once in contact with water\, of calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) gels that literally glue together the final compound. Current industrial research aims at exploring alternative and more environmentally friendly chemical compositions while enhancing rheology and mechanics\, to overcome the many technological challenges and guarantee concrete standards. Identifying the fundamental mechanisms that control the gel properties at the early stages of hydration and setting is crucial\, although challenging\, because of far-from-equilibrium conditions\, closely intertwined to the evolution of the chemical environment\, that are a hallmark of cement hydration. \n\nI will discuss a recently developed statistical physics approach\, which allows us to investigate the gel formation under the out-of-equilibrium conditions typical of cement hydration and the role of the nano-scale structure in C-S-H mechanics upon hardening. Our approach\, combining MonteCarlo and Molecular Dynamics simulations\, unveils for the first time how some distinctive features of the kinetics of cement hydration can be related to the nano-scale effective interactions and to the changes in the morphology of the gels. The novel emerging picture is that the changes of the physico-chemical environment\, which dictate the evolution of the effective interactions\, specifically favor the gel formation and its continuous densification. Our findings provide new handles to design properties of this complex material and\, with an extensive comparison of numerical findings for the hardened paste with experiments ranging from SANS\, SEM\, adsorption/desorption of N2 and water to nano-indentation\, we gain new\, fundamental insights into the microscopic origin of the properties measured. \n\nK.

These include chromatin\, a protein-DNA polymer that represents the functional form of the genome\, and amyloid fibrils\, protein-protein assemblies often associated with neurodegenerative disorders. Unraveling the forces and interactions that define the structure and function of such polymers is still a tremendous challenge for structural biology as it requires the ability to span many length and time scales\, and the capability to construct relevant samples that represent the complexity\, dynamics and multivalency of functional biological entities. In the first part of this presentation\, I will describe spectroscopic approaches based on solid-state NMR that were used to determine the atomic-resolution structure of a model amyloid fibril. This structure provides a basis for understanding amyloid fibril heterogeneity and their extraordinary thermodynamic stability\, characteristics with important implications in disease. In the second part\, I will present a chemical biology toolbox that allows the efficient construction of chemically well-defined designer chromatin arrays. Combined with H/D exchange\, NMR\, and fluorescence-based experiments\, these synthetic polymers enabled the investigation of chromatin structure and dynamics as a function of post-translational modifications such as ubiquitin. Our results suggest novel mechanisms of chromatin polymer decompaction\, with important implications for gene regulation and access to genetic information in the cell. \n\nGalia Debelouchina (Princeton University) UID:35680-5302717@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/35680 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161117T181658 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161117T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161117T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Differential Equations DESCRIPTION:For large classes of dispersive equations\, it has been conjectured that the solution will eventually break up as finite sum of solitons plus linear dispersion.

We use rich data from the Colombian manufacturing census\, which includes information on prices and physical quantities of all outputs and inputs of firms\, in conjunction with customs records on all import and export transactions of Colombian firms. Preliminary results indicate that exchange-rate movements in source countries generate sufficient across-firm variation in input usage to estimate production functions of Colombian firms\, and that our estimates differ from those of proxy-variable methods currently dominant in the literature.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nNatural communities are composed of a few common and many rare species. This pattern is one of the few universal rules in ecology and is especially pronounced in species-rich ecosystems\, where most of the species display extremely low \nabundances. Although there is a long-standing interest in this pattern and the \ndevelopment of ecological and statistical models\, there is still no consensus. Here I argue that differences between species and individuals in their phenotypes are \nfundamentally important for understanding the drivers of species abundance. I \nprovide evidence to support this argument from my research concerning patterns of species abundance in tropical tree communities. The work uses statistical models to interrogate species and individual-level trait information with respect to abundance in natural communities from Asia and the Americas. The results show that (1) the species and trait composition of plant communities is driven by a combination of opposing ecological forces acting on intra- and inter-specific levels and that this ultimately results in differential species abundances\; (2) The magnitude of the phenotypic variation in natural assemblages is variable itself across species and related with species relative abundance\; (3) Rare species tend to occupy the periphery of the functional space of local communities. Overall\, my results indicate that phenotypic differences are key for our understanding of how species-environment relationships produce differential demographic rates that ultimately drive differential species abundance. Furthermore\, ecological interactions occur at the individual level and considering individual-level trait information\, which is frequently ignored in trait-based ecology\, in the context of community assembly opens a new avenue of research for addressing foundational questions in ecology.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/5GE1q31A4jc UID:35308-5188037@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/35308 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Discussion,Ecology,Environment,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161202T123007 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161117T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161117T180000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Engineering as a Global Profession DESCRIPTION:\"Engineering is a global profession.\" Yes\, yes\, you may haveheard this time and again.

Survivors escaped through underground tunnels capturing footage on their camera phones. It was the first time the BBC led a bulletin with 'user-generated content'. In July 2016\, the failed Turkish coup was caught on Periscope and Facebook Live by hundreds of people picking up their smartphones and broadcasting live. This lecture will examine the last decade of social newsgathering\, highlighting what has changed and what hasn't. There will be a discussion of the logistics of social discovery and verification as well as the ethical considerations of protecting eyewitnesses when publishing this type of content\, and ensuring journalists and audiences are not impacted by the increasingly graphic imagery that is emerging from breaking news events.\n\nClaire Wardle is the Research Director at Columbia University's Tow Center for Digital Journalism. She is also the co-founder of Eyewitness Media Hub\, a non-profit initiative committed to providing content creators and publishers with continuing research and resources. She is one of the world’s experts on user-generated content\, and has led two substantial research projects investigating how it is handled by news organizations. In 2009\, she was asked by BBC News to develop their Social Newsgathering and Verification training program. She went on to train over 3000 journalists in newsrooms around the world. She was also the Director of News Services for Storyful\, and Senior Social Media Office at the UN Agency for Refugees (UNHCR).

Topliss Eighth Annual Award Lecture \"Adventures in Cardiovascular Drug Discovery: New Frontiers and Lessons Learned\" DESCRIPTION:Cardiovascular disease is the largest cause of death and disability in developed countries. A common component of the end stage of these diseases is thromboembolic disorders which account for over 50% of cardiovascular related deaths. This large unmet medical need resulted in intense activity to discover and develop new antithrombotic drugs. Over the past few decades\, drug discovery directed at the treatment and prevention of thromboembolic diseases has been challenged by the need to balance robust efficacy with exquisite safety. Perhaps the most impactful advance to date in the area of oral anticoagulants\, has been the recent introduction into clinical practice of the new class of orally bioavailable small molecule factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors. At Bristol-Myers Squibb our efforts culminated in the discovery of Eliquis® (apixaban)\, a novel oral FXa inhibitor. This presentation will highlight the key learnings from the discovery efforts which led to Eliquis\, and applications of these learnings to the design of small molecule Factor XIa inhibitors.

Most scholarly attempts to understand their meaning have adopted the perspective of elite viewers and have proposed various layers of potential significance that range from the mythological and prophetic to the cultic and nuptial to the social and theatrical. They also focus on the dominant figures: the so-called “Domina\,” “Bride” and/or multiple figures thought to represent the “Initiate.” With few exceptions\, such interpretations presume some kind of relation between the imagery and Greek antecedents.\n \nIn contrast\, this presentation considers meanings that the murals may have held for non-elite viewers—in particular\, the female slaves of the household. By focusing on those women who play various supporting roles in the visual drama depicted on the frieze\, and by assuming that a number of the cultic activities portrayed would have resonated with the work of daily life performed by female slaves in the villa\, this talk proposes that those household slaves identified with the women on the walls through the lens of their own experiences as slaves. Reading the Bacchic murals within this non-elite framework adds a new layer of potential meaning to these famous works of Roman art.\n\nReception 5:30 pm\, Lecture 6:00 pm.\n\nFAST lectures are free and open to the public.
