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.

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.

The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

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.

A typical case involves word length preferences in NN compounds\, such as ‘coal store’\, shown in (1). The preferred length patterns are 2+2\, 2+1\, and 1+1\, where 1 is a monosyllabic noun and 2 a disyllabic one. In contrast\, 1+2 is judged to be ill formed. As has been widely reported\, many Chinese words\, including ‘coal’ and ‘store’\, can be monosyllabic or disyllabic\, with little difference in meaning.\n\n(1) Word length preferences in Chinese NN compounds\n\nLength\n N1\n N2\n Gloss\n \n2+2\n meitan\n shangdian \n‘coal store’\n \n2+1 \nmeitan\n dian \n‘coal store’\n\n*1+2\n mei\n shangdian \n‘coal store’\n \n1+1 \nmei \ndian \n‘coal store’\n\n\nThe generalizations are intuitively robust and widely accepted in the literature. In addition\, it has been shown that they follow from general phonological principles. Moreover\, supporting evidence is found from corpus data\, where 1+2 NN occurs rarely (well below 2% of all NN compounds)\, while 2+2\, 2+1\, and 1+1 occur at much higher frequencies. \n\nHowever\, the generalizations have not been confirmed by acceptability judgment experiments. In addition\, a number of important questions remain. For example\, is the acceptability judgment clear cut or gradient? Are there differences among 2+2\, 2+1\, and 1+1? Are there other factors that influence acceptability judgment? We report the results of an acceptability judgment experiment that reveals a far more complicated picture. It is found that besides the phonological factor\, which remains strong\, morphological\, syntactic and semantic factors also play significant roles.

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.

Previous framing studies create frame via a wide variety of techniques\, often “stacking the deck” in favor of a framing effect. As a result\, it is not often clear what element(s) of the framing design is (are) responsible for the framing effect. The inherent heterogeneity among decision-makers adds another layer of complexity to understanding framing. With few exceptions\, framing and heterogeneity among decision makers in public good dilemmas have been examined separately. Where they have been jointly explored\, results have been ambiguous. In this research\, I establish frames via a factorial design that decomposes frame along two dimensions\, the action implicit in the decision (i.e.\, give or take) and the language used to describe the decision (i.e.\, neutral or non-neutral). Each of four frames was imposed on a different set of study participants\, whose decision-making types were previously determined via a separate dilemma. Among the four types of decision-makers\, individuals who were expected not to cooperate cooperated trivially or not at all and demonstrated no sensitivity to framing. Individuals previously assessed as low\, conditional\, and high cooperators cooperated at distinct and non-trivial levels that declined over the course of the repeated dilemma. Where framing effects were observed\, the two dimensions of frame did not uniformly influence every type of decision-maker. Non-neutral language yielded lower cooperation in the give treatment among conditional and low cooperators. Taking yielded lower cooperation in the neutral treatment among low cooperators.

The interplay between these components can give rise to critical phenomena\, whereby different time evolutions and outcomes can be expected when crossing sharp parametric thresholds. This talk will present an overview of our theoretical\, computational\, and experimental studies on a class of such problems\, focusing on the associated transport\, mixing and interaction with structures and boundary geometries. The main examples will be drawn from the settling of rigid spheres and the rising of jets or plumes in stratified waters\, and from the dispersion of solutes in microfluidic ducts and pipes.

We try to address the question of what are possible ways to try to experimentally verify this. One direction is to look for systems where vacuum energy constitutes a non-negligible fraction of the total energy\, and study the properties of those. Another possibility is to focus on the epochs around cosmic phase transitions\, when the vacuum energy is of the same order as the total energy. Along these lines we investigate properties of neutron stars and the imprint of phase transitions on primordial gravitational waves.

Accent discrimination resulting from negative attitudes linked to stereotypes of social groups is well-recognized in sociolinguistic research (Dragojevic & Giles\, 2016\; Gluszek & Dovidio\, 2010). More recently\, researchers have begun to assess how perceptual fluency\, or the effortfulness that listeners feel in understanding accented speech\, affects attitudes towards speakers. Disfluent perception\, the experience associated with effortful information processing\, leads to negative emotions and attitudes toward that information (Alter\, 2013\; Alter & Oppenheimer\, 2009)\, and disfluent perception of an unfamiliar accent leads to negative evaluations of the speaker (Dragojevic & Giles\, 2016). Yet listeners have a robust ability to adapt to and understand highly variable speech patterns\, as shown by improvements in comprehension of non-native speech with listening experience (Baese-Berk\, Bradlow\, & Wright\, 2013\; Bradlow & Bent\, 2008\; Sidaras\, Alexander\, & Nygaard\, 2009). Thus\, to the extent that negative attitudes are the result of difficult comprehension\, attitudes should improve with adaptation. To test this hypothesis\, I have designed an experiment that measures changes in both listener comprehension and attitudes. Pilot results indicate that listeners’ objective comprehension accuracy does improve over time\, but listeners do not report more ease of comprehension or more positive attitudes. I will present possible reasons for this result\, as well as design changes based on pilot feedback.

Examples of pre-matching gambles include occupational choices before the marriage market\, college major choices before the labor market\, and financial portfolio management to attract future investors. Surprisingly\, people take risky investments they would have not taken if not for the subsequent participation in competitive matching markets. A fundamental and unique feature of the competitive matching market\, which I call the competitive rematching effect\, drives pre-matching gambles. The competitive rematching effect drives gambling independently of the shape of the surplus function\, contrary to the possible misconception that surplus supermodularity and positive-assortative matching play a role. Finally\, the paper discusses implications to efficiency and inequality associated with gambles\, and to occupational choices with marital concerns.

Twenty-five native speakers of Seoul Korean participated in a sentence completion task where they were asked to complete a target sentence after reading (in the baseline condition) or listening to (in the test condition) a context sentence. In both cases\, participants completed the sentence by speaking. The control group consisted of 11 participants who were given the auditory context sentences with unmanipulated Seoul Korean prosody. The auditory context sentences provided to the 14 test group participants had artificially manipulated prosody. The manipulation lowered the f0 of the phrase-final syllables that were associated with the Accentual Phrase-final rise\, which is a characteristic intonational property of Seoul Korean. The f0 values – f0 maximum\, minimum\, mean\, and range – were extracted from the AP-final syllables of the participants’ responses\, and were compared between the baseline and test conditions. The results of the linear mixed-effects model analysis on the nine test group participants showed evidence of convergence\, while ten control group participants did not show accommodation effect. The results suggest that prosodic accommodation may provide insight into the current diversity of prosodic systems among Korean dialects.\n\nAriana Bancu: “Word order Variation and Change in Transylvanian Saxon.”\n\nAbstract\nThis research illustrates word order variation in Viscri Saxon (a dialect of Transylvanian Saxon spoken in Viscri Romania) and accounts for the variation within a language contact framework (c.f. Thomason\, 2001). To show that verb cluster structures transferred into Transylvanian Saxon (TrSax) through German\, I compare current data collected through sociolinguistic interviews to evidence from previous studies on TrSax (Holzträger\, 1912\; McClure 1973\; Sift\, 2015)\, and to data from related West Germanic languages. Overall\, findings show that verb clusters pattern differently in Viscri Saxon than in related dialects and languages\, displaying flexible distribution between available structures in various areas. The distribution is conditioned by the languages in contact with Viscri Saxon: German and Romanian. While verbal structures transferred from German into Viscri Saxon\, Romanian may aid in maintaining the TrSax patterns in Viscri Saxon\, due to similarities between TrSax and Romanian structures. The individual variation displayed among speakers strengthens these findings\, as variation is present only in speakers who use all three languages regularly. One speaker\, who does not use Romanian\, uses only German-type structures\, however another speaker\, who does not use German\, uses only TrSax structures.

Since 2008\, it has become a yearly tradition for The Ragbirds to present this unique family-friendly holiday show called Ebird & Friends. The songs and artists change from year to year\, but the spirit of the event is community\, the soul is creativity and the show is unforgettable. In addition of course to The Ragbirds\, t​his year's featured artists are: Seth Bernard\, The Accidentals\, Emilee Petersmark and Kate Pillsbury of The Crane Wives\, Frank Allison\, and ​Rick Chyme. The rest of the lineup includes Jen Sygit\, Ross Huff & Brennan Andes (The Macpodz)\, Brandon Smith (Appleseed Collective)\, Loren Kranz (Barbarosa Brothers)\, Jessica McCumons (The Understorey)\, Bethany Greczynski (Rhyta) Mike Boyd\, Dan Piccolo\, Shelly Smith and more. \"Ebird\"\, of course\, is Erin Zindle\, lead singer\, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of The Ragbirds. Erin’s budding childhood love of music was sparked at Christmastime. The holidays were the one time each year that the entire Zindle family gathered to make music together and that early communal experience of music took deep roots. Fiddles\, horns\, bagpipes\, guitars\, and instruments from all over the world will be sounding their voices together in harmony. Expect to be entertained\, surprised\, cheered and warmed by this collaborative artistic performance of new and old songs\, including The Ragbirds original songs inspired by the holiday. This show has become a phenomenon—it's up to three nights\, and it shows no signs of slowing down..
