Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally.

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696935@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171214T122637 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171201T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171201T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Life and Times of Lizzy Bennet DESCRIPTION:As the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s death\, 2017 presents an opportunity to showcase not only significant early editions of Austen’s works held in the Special Collections Library\, but a much broader swath of materials revealing the historical milieu in which she and her characters lived.\n\nThe 1780s-1810s was a tumultuous time period in Britain with effects reaching to the present day\, and we are fortunate to be able to draw on a rich collection of sources that illustrate Austen’s historical moment\, from A Companion to the Ballroom and The Book of Common Prayer to An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species... and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.\n\nThe Library will be closed December 23 to January 1.

Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

Prof. James R. Forbes\n\nThis thesis studies guidance and control of aerospace systems. Guidance answers the question “Where should I be?” and in particular\, this thesis examines constrained extremum-seeking guidance. This type of guidance is part of a class of algorithms that drives a system to the maximum or minimum of a performance function\, where the exact relation between the function’s input and output is unknown. This thesis abstracts the problem of extremum-seeking guidance to optimization on constrained matrix manifolds. The performance function is optimized on the manifold using gradient-based methods\, where a novel constrained Kalman filter is used to estimate gradients. Once guidance determines where a system should be\, control answers the question\, “How do I get there?” Aerospace systems are typically nonlinear\, which makes control more challenging. The Passivity and Conic Sector Theorems\, two input-output theories\, are used to synthesize nonlinear controllers that take advantage of well-established linear control techniques. These novel controllers guarantee closed-loop input-output stability of nonlinear systems even if an approximate plant model is used for controller synthesis. The developed algorithms are applied to aircraft\, spacecraft\, and robotic systems in simulation and experimentation.\n\n\n\nJournal Publications\n\nA. Walsh and J. R.

For example\, it is much easier to read student writing on an electronic exam. Today’s students are use to composing on a keyboard\, so it no surprise their penmanship is not always legible. And because students are so proficient with their laptops\, it is likely they will compose higher quality writing during an electronic exam. There are other benefits to using electronic exams in Canvas. The Speedgrader feature allows instructors to type responses more efficiently\, providing substantive feedback when appropriate. Multiple choice and true/false type questions are graded automatically and sent directly to the gradebook. Exams and grades are preserved for future reference—for example\, the next time a student asks for a letter of recommendation. Electronic exams can replace Scantrons and Blue Books\, saving faculty and staff a substantial amount of time. \n\nLSA has also added a security feature to Canvas that can lock down the testing environment and preserve academic integrity.\n\nThis workshop will introduce participants to the various question types and settings available in Canvas. Participants will also get to explore more advanced features in Canvas\, including embedding images and media\, setting timed exams and allowing for student accommodations\, grading essay questions\, and enabling the LockDown Browser. This session is recommended for anyone who wants to learn more the testing features in Canvas\; therefore\, it is suitable for both faculty and support staff.

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

Damage to the tooth-supporting apparatus\, which includes periodontal ligament (PDL) fibers that anchor the tooth root to alveolar bone\, subsequently initiates osseous tissue resorption. Multi-tissue morbidity is a significant challenge given lack of predictability in reconstructing tissues with physiologic functionality native to healthy periodontium. Tissue engineering strategies have potential to address existing deficiencies in clinically-induced regeneration through combinational approaches using biomaterials\, growth factors\, and cell-based therapy. The purpose of this work was to develop scaffolds incorporating micropatterned topography for guidance of cell growth and periodontal tissue formation\, in conjunction with localized\, spatiotemporally-controlled growth factor delivery via gene therapy vectors.\n\n Micropatterned polycaprolactone (PCL) films were designed to assess PDL cell orientation in vitro\, with incorporation of the patterned film into a 3D-printed PCL scaffold for evaluation of varying topography on oriented tissue formation in an ectopic murine model. Specifically\, pillars with varying groove depths (30um\, 10um) and groove widths (15um\, 60um) were used for the “PDL” region of the scaffold in combination with human PDL (hPDL) cell seeding\, while the 3D-printed base served as a region for osseous tissue formation via delivery of human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) transduced with adenoviral bone morphogenetic protein (Ad-BMP7). Micropatterned films with pillars containing deeper grooves (30um) provided greater control over hPDL cell orientation and subsequent alignment of soft collagenous tissue compared to non-grooved pillars or an amorphous PCL film\, with significant (p<0.05) differences in percentage of aligned cells in vivo observed at 6 weeks post-implantation.\n\n In order to improve spatially-controlled delivery of BMP7 and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB) using developed 3D-printed\, micropatterned scaffolds\, each region of the scaffold was separately immobilized with AdBMP7 and AdPDGF-BB\, respectively\, using chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-based surface modification prior to cell seeding. A separate scaffold was developed for a rat fenestration defect\, with the 3D-printed scaffold region replaced by an amorphous PCL film to accommodate the 0.5mm defect thickness. Evaluation of these cell-seeded scaffolds showed significant (p<0.05) bone formation in regions with immobilized AdBMP7 compared to regions immobilized with empty vectors (Ad-empty) and non-cell seeded regions immobilized with AdBMP7. A more detailed assessment of single (BMP7) and dual (BMP7 and PDGF-BB) growth factor delivery effects in combination with varying scaffold topography (i.e.\, patterned film versus amorphous film in the “PDL” region) was performed using the fenestration defect model. Micro-CT data showed significantly higher (p<0.05) bone formation in groups with AdBMP7 immobilization and gingival fibroblast cell seeding compared to groups with Ad-empty. Collagen III and periostin expression was higher in groups with dual growth factor delivery\, with significantly (p<0.05) higher periostin expression in groups combining a patterned film with single or dual growth factor delivery at week 6. Nanoindentation assessment showed higher elastic moduli for regenerated bone and PDL-like tissue regions at the bone-PDL interface in patterned film groups with dual growth factor delivery compared to amorphous films with Ad-empty at week 9 (p<0.05 and p<0.01\, respectively)\, with bone tissue in the dual delivery group having higher (p<0.001) hardness values compared to the negative control. These data indicate improvement in periodontal tissue regeneration when combining scaffold micro-topography cues with localized growth factor delivery\, thereby contributing to the development of next-generation scaffolds specific to periodontal regenerative medicine.

She completed her PhD work on the mathematics of sleep and circadian rhythms in 2016. Her work lies at the intersection of mathematics\, biology\, and mobile technology. She has extensive experience in software development\, and her apps have been downloaded close to half a million times. \n\nAbstract: The body's internal\, circadian clock tracks time primarily by tracking light exposure. Short-term disruption of the circadian clock causes jet lag\, while long-term disruption-- such as that experienced by shift workers-- is associated with an increased risk of obesity\, depression\, diabetes\, and cancer. Using mathematical modeling\, we can predict a person's internal time and use that prediction to make suggestions for how they can correct a disrupted clock. In this talk\, I'll introduce mathematical models of the circadian clock and discuss how they can be deployed on mobile devices to help shift workers recover faster.

Electrical properties are frequency-dependent parameters and\, for a liquid sample\, are measured with a dielectric probe and a network analyzer. This measurement technique is not feasible in vivo\, but methods have been developed to make these measurements using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This work focuses on measuring conductivity\, or the ability to conduct electric current. Mapping the electrical properties within the human body can provide important information for MRI safety and diagnostic applications. First\, the specific absorption rate (SAR) in an MRI scan is proportional to conductivity\, and limited to minimize the risk of heating in a subject. Knowledge of subject-specific conductivity maps could lead to better\, subject-specific SAR estimation. Second\, several small studies in recent years have shown that conductivity is elevated in malignant tumors as compared to healthy tissue. There are open research questions regarding the correlation between conductivity and other diagnostic metrics. Both of these applications benefit from accurate conductivity maps. In this work we describe three different methods for improving the accuracy of conductivity maps. The first is a novel regularized\, model-based approach which we refer to as the Inverse Laplacian method. The Inverse Laplacian method resulted in lower reconstruction bias and error due to noise in simulations than the conventional filtering method. The Inverse Laplacian method also produced conductivity maps closer to the measured values in a phantom and with reduced noise in the human brain\, as compared to the filtering method. The second is a method for combining multi-coil MRI data for conductivity mapping\, because the use of multi-coil receivers can drastically improve the SNR in conductivity maps. The noise in the combined phase data using the proposed method was slightly elevated as compared to the optimal combination method\, but the conductivity uniformity in a uniform gel phantom was greater than that of the optimal combination method. Furthermore\, by visual inspection\, the human brain conductivity calculated from data combined using the proposed method had minimal bias and noise amplification. Finally\, we present a method for mapping conductivity tensors\, as opposed to scalar values\, which provides an additional layer of information to conductivity maps. Our proposed mathematical framework yields accurate tensor quantities provided the object can rotate 90 degrees in any direction. However\, restricting the object rotation to mimic the constraints on a human subject yields slightly inaccurate results. We also present a dictionary-based approach to tensor calculations to try to improve the tensor estimates using restricted rotations.

Everyone claims to have a \"secret innovation sauce\" that gives them an advantage over their competitors. In some cases\, this is just for show\; in other cases\, it actually does foster disruptive innovation. This seminar will examine the pursuit of revolutionary technology development and disruptive innovation\, focusing on the fundamentals of the innovation process and how to create an environment where these ideas will flourish and take off to unprecedented heights. We will also consider the similarities between historically prestigious innovation factories\, like the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works\, and modern high-tech startups - do they follow a similar set of operating principles? How do you foster a culture where team members think vigorously outside the box to invent the impossible? And...what does all of this mean to you\, as students pursuing your dreams?\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nBen Marchionna is the Head of Global Field Operations and Engineering at SkySpecs\, a commercial drone startup company in Ann Arbor\, MI.\n \nBefore SkySpecs\, Ben was a senior systems engineer and graduate of the Engineering Leadership Development Program at the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works in Palmdale\, CA\, where he supported advanced R&D projects including sixth-gen fighters\, UAVs\, hypersonic weapon systems\, and other programs that he can't talk about. He has also worked as a flight test engineer for the F-35 program at Edwards AFB\, as a systems engineer for the F-35 in Fort Worth\, TX\, and as an engineering intern on the C-5M Super Galaxy in Marietta\, GA.\n \nBen graduated from the University of Michigan in April 2011 with a BSE in Aerospace Engineering and from the University of Southern California in December 2014 with an MS in Product Development Engineering.\n\nOutside of work\, Ben serves on the Board of Directors for the American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics (AIAA) and as the Executive Vice President of the Los Angeles County Air Show. He enjoys traveling\, flying airplanes\, and of course\, Michigan football! Ben lives in Ann Arbor with his wife\, Katie\, 22-month old daughter\, Maisie\, and their American Eskimo Dog\, Norbert.

We develop a model in which these patterns arise endogenously as the result of Bayesian learning with misspecification. In our model\, individuals observe signals about multiple unobserved states from many information sources. Individuals learn the accuracies and ideological biases of sources with the assumption that a possibly biased reference source is independent and unbiased. With arbitrarily small bias in the reference source\, individuals incorrectly learn that biased sources are more accurate than unbiased sources. Large disagreements between individuals persist\, even when individuals observe the same set of information sources. We discuss implications for social network formation and media markets.\n\nMatthew Gentzkow∗\, Stanford and NBER\nMichael B. Wong\, MIT\nAllen T.

We studied this earthquake and related foreshocks and aftershocks. We derived coseismic offsets using GPS data\, and modeled fault rupture and coseismic slip. Tobago moved NNE and subsided. This earthquake was anomalous and is of interest because: (1) its large component of normal slip and ENE strike are unexpected given the active E-W dextral shearing across the Caribbean-South American plate boundary zone\, (2) it ruptured a normal fault plane with a low (~28°) dip angle\, and (3) it reactivated and inverted the preexisting Tobago terrrane-South America ocean-continent (thrust) boundary that formed during early Tertiary oblique plate convergence.\n\nInterseismic strain: We studied active faults in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean-South American (CA-SA) transform plate boundary zone using episodic GPS (eGPS) data from 19 sites and continuous GPS (cGPS) data from 8 sites\, and then modeling these data. Our best-fit model for interseismic fault slip requires: 12-15 mm/yr of right-lateral movement and very shallow locking (0.2 ± 0.2 km\; essentially creep) across the Central Range Fault (CRF)\; 3.4 ± 0.3mm/yr across the Soldado Fault in south Trinidad\, and 3.5 ± 0.3 mm/yr of dextral shear on fault(s) between Trinidad and Tobago (see above). Faults in Trinidad show very little seismicity (1954-current from local network). Paleoseismic studies indicate that the CRF ruptured between 2710 and 500 yr. B.P. Together\, these data suggest spatial and/or temporal fault segmentation on the CRF. The CRF marks a physical boundary between rocks associated with thermogenically generated petroleum and overpressured fluids in south and central Trinidad\, from rocks containing only biogenic gas to the north\, and a long string of active mud volcanoes align with the trace of the Soldado Fault along Trinidad’s south coast. Fluid (oil and gas) overpressure may thus cause the CRF and Soldado Faults to creep.

In 2016\, African Americans represented 44% of all new HIV diagnoses in the United States. Given this context\, it is increasingly urgent to feature a myriad of stories that consider and represent the lives of those housed within this statistic. \"Alternate Endings\, Radical Beginnings\" seeks to highlight the voices of those that are marginalized within broader Black communities nationwide\, including queer and trans folks.\n \nCurated by Erin Christovale and Vivian Crockett for Visual AIDS\, \"Alternate Endings\, Radical Beginnings\" is the 28th iteration of Visual AIDS’ longstanding Day With(out) Art project. The commissioned projects include intimate meditations of young HIV positive protagonists\; a consideration of community-based HIV/AIDS activism in the South\; explorations of the legacies and contemporary resonances within AIDS archives\; a poetic journey through New York exploring historical traces of queer and trans life\, and more. Together\, the videos provide a platform centering voices deeply impacted by the ongoing epidemic.\n \nDiscussion to follow with Bré Campbell\, Founder of the Trans Sistas of Color Project\, Leon Golson\, Director of Prevention Programs for Unified HIV Health and Beyond in Ypsilanti\, MI\; and Demario Longmire\, a recent U-M graduate with a degree in Linguistics\, LGBTQ Studies and Intergroup Relations who is currently a Health Corps Fellow working with communities affected by HIV/AIDS in Washington\, D.C. \n\nPresented by the UMMA Student Engagement Council and co-sponsored by the U-M Spectrum Center. Additional partners include the U-M Center for Sexuality & Health Disparities\, Trans Sistas of Color Project\, and Unified HIV Health and Beyond.\n\nStudent programming at UMMA is generously supported by the University of Michigan Credit Union Arts Adventures Program\, UMMA's Lead Sponsor for Student and Family Engagement.
