Her world was very Italian\, and when she walked outside\, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child\, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers\, old book pages\, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry\, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken\, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder.

Many of Vignaud's maps were extracted from broken atlases\, originally published by the illustrious Hondius and Janssonius publishing houses. Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.\n\nThis exhibit and the accompanying online exhibit (https://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/rediscoveringvignaud) feature the results of their remarkable findings\, as well as a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam.

The Determinants of the Intergenerational Transmission of Wealth DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nWealth is highly correlated between parents and their children\; however\, little is known about the extent to which these relationships are genetic or determined by environmental factors. We use administrative data on the net wealth of a large sample of Swedish adoptees merged with similar information for their biological and adoptive parents. Comparing the relationship between the wealth of adopted and biological parents and that of the adopted child\, we find that\, even prior to any inheritance\, there is a substantial role for environment and a much smaller role for pre-birth factors. When bequests are taken into account\, the role of adoptive parental wealth becomes much stronger. We find no evidence that education or earnings of parents are important drivers of the intergenerational wealth relationship between children and their adoptive parents and a limited role for child earnings\, education\, savings rates\, and asset allocation in mediating the relationship. Indeed \, savings rates are lower for children of wealthier parents. Our findings suggest that wealth transmission is not primarily because children from wealthier families are inherently more talented or more able but that\, even in relatively egalitarian Sweden\, wealth begets wealth. We also study consumption as an alternative measure of welfare and find both biological and environmental effects. However\, the intergenerational consumption relationships largely disappear once we control for education\, earnings\, and wealth of parents and children.

For his solo show\, \"Abstract Ancestry\,\" at University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, Harrison will produce a suite of mechanical drawings with his homemade 3D printer. Using books and documents containing problematic historical portrayals as the substrate for his drawings\, Harrison is able to explore issues of representation. The exhibition also examines abstraction\, setting the printers to work at a low resolution ensures that imperfections and variability come through in these machine-produced drawings.\n\nOn April 5\, join us as we celebrate the opening of our final exhibition of the academic year with our 2018 Efroymson Emerging Artist in Residence Matthew Angelo Harrison. Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

Looking into questions like: What were the cultural norms for women during Jesus’ life? Was Jesus a feminist? What do Paul’s letter to the Romans and John’s Gospel tell us about early women disciples? Then we will discuss women’s roles in the very early Christian communities up to about 300 A.D. \n\nThe New Testament will be used as well as several other references. There will be time for questions and discussion and some possibly surprising revelations. An outline and list of references will be provided. Over the past 50 years\, there has been a wealth of academic and research interest in these topics and well over 100 books have been written.\n\nThis study group for those 50 and over will be led by instructor Peggy Clough on April 11 and April 18.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The observed dark matter abundance can be naturally obtained through freezeout of the thermal annihilation rate. The defining feature of a thermal WIMP is that its total annihilation cross section is specified through the rate ~ 3 x 10^-26 cm^3/s\, inversely proportional to the dark matter density. Searches for dark matter annihilation products have set strong limits in certain cases\, requiring that the dark matter mass be greater than around 100 GeV if annihilation proceed solely to b quarks (Fermi)\, τ leptons (Fermi)\, or electrons (AMS). We construct the first limits on the total annihilation cross section\, showing that allowed combinations of the annihilation-channel branching ratios considerably weaken these limits. We will show that GeV-mass thermal WIMPs have not yet been adequately tested\, and outline ways forward.

Depending on the energy used to produce electron emission\, it can be broadly characterized into 3 processes: thermionic emission TE (thermal energy)\, field emission FE (quantum tunneling) and photoemission PE (photon absorption or optical tunneling). Regardless of the emission mechanism\, the emission current density may become saturated – space charge limited emission (SCLE). Basic models for these processes (TE\, PE\, PE\, SCLE) have been captured in the Richardson law\, Child-Langmuir (CL) law\, Fowler-Nordheim (FN) law\, and the Keldysh model. With the development of two-dimensional (2D) atomic scale materials\, these classical laws may require revision to account for new material properties\, as well as novel operating regimes in nanometer dimensions and ultrashort time scales. In this talk\, self-consistent electron emission models will be presented\, with applications to 2D materials such as graphene. These new models exhibit smooth transitions to the classical models while providing new scaling laws that can be included into numerical codes. These new models provide better agreement with experimental results. A selection of applications of these models to engineering product development in energy harvesting\, electronics and photonics will also be presented.\n\nLay Kee (Ricky) Ang received his BS in 1994 from National Tsing Hua Univ.\, Taiwan\, and his MS & PhD from U.

Moiré pattern appears when two dimensional crystals are overlaid with a small difference in lattice constant or a small difference in orientation\, are ubiquitous in van der Waals heterojunctions\, and can be controlled by varying relative orientation. I will discuss some examples of new physics that can be realized using moiré patterns formed by graphene on hexagonal boron-nitride\, graphene on graphene\, and by transition metal dichalcogenides bilayers. \n\n\n UID:51529-12135384@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51529 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180411T181522 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180411T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180411T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Instructional resources that promote visualization of chemical phenomena DESCRIPTION: Finding alternative ways to observe objects or processes that cannot be seen by the naked eye is critical in chemistry instruction. We have developed a variety of instructional resources that have shown effectiveness in promoting visualization and consequently\, understanding of chemical concepts. Projects that will be highlighted include the use of 3D printed models to study macromolecular structure & interactions and analogies that assist students in connecting core scientific concepts to the nanoscale. Studies have used qualitative methods to monitor the impact of the instructional materials on students’ learning. This presentation will give an overview of these instructional resources and the evidence that speaks to their effectiveness in the classroom.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nMaria Oliver-Hoyo (NC State University) UID:45094-10084360@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45094 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180222T132600 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180411T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180411T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Journey to the Center of the Earth DESCRIPTION:We will consider the inverse problem of determining the sound speed or index of refraction of a medium by measuring the travel times of waves going through the medium. This problem arises in global seismology in an attempt to determine the inner structure of the Earth by measuring travel times of earthquakes. It has also several applications in optics and medical imaging among others.\n\nThe problem can be recast as a geometric problem: Can one determine the Riemannian metric of a Riemannian manifold with boundary by measuring the distance function between boundary points? This is the boundary rigidity problem. We will also consider the problem of determining the metric from the scattering relation\, the so-called lens rigidity problem. The linearization of these problems involve the integration of a tensor along geodesics\, similar to the X-ray transform.\n\nWe will also describe some recent results\, join with Plamen Stefanov and Andras Vasy\, on the partial data case\, where you are making measurements on a subset of the boundary. No previous knowledge of Riemannian geometry will be assumed.

AND FLORENCE PEACHMAN LECTURE\n\npresented by Jørgen Juncher Jensen\, Professor Emeritus\, DTU Mechanical Engineering\n\nIntact Stability of Ships\nA new Intact Stability Code\, the so-called Second Generation of Intact Stability Criteria\, is currently under development and validation by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The criteria are separated into five failure modes\, each of which is analyzed by two vulnerability levels and\, if needed\, a direct numerical simulation. Preliminary calculations are carried out by many organizations and significant inconsistencies have been found between the two vulnerability levels especially for dead ship conditions and parametric roll\, e.g. Schrøter et al. (2017) where 17 ships are analyzed using the full matrix of operational draughts\, trims and GM values.\n\nJørgen Juncher Jensen received his PhD in solid mechanics from the Technical University (DTU) of Denmark 1975. In 1974 he joined the Department of Ocean Engineering at DTU as assistant professor and later\, in 1998\, as Professor in Maritime Hydrodynamics. He became also Adjunct Professor at NTNU in 2014. His research interests are mainly wave loads on ships and offshore structures with focus on statistical methods for non-linear systems. He received the Dr. Techn. degree for this work in 1995. His main focus today is on wave-induced responses of ships and much of the research is done within the theory of conditional stochastic processes. He has been involved in several EU sponsored projects as well as national projects and IMO work on probabilistic damage stability of ships.\n\nWednesday\, April 11th\, 2018 at 4pm\nGerald Ford Presidential Library\, Auditorium\n\n*Reception immediately following UID:51493-12123941@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51493 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Engineering,Graduate Students,Lecture,Michigan Engineering,Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering,Undergraduate Students LOCATION:Gerald Ford Library - Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180315T101748 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180411T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180411T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Positive Links Speaker Series DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, April 11\, 2018\n4:00-5:00 p.m.\nFree and open to the public.\n\nMichigan Ross Campus\nRoss Building\n701 Tappan \nRobertson Auditorium\, 1st Floor\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48109-1234\n\nRegister: http://positiveorgs.bus.umich.edu/events/technology-and-happiness-the-social-and-emotional-costs-of-being-constantly-connected/ \n\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people.

To deal with this information incompleteness\, we develop a novel robust optimization analytical framework for wait time estimation in multiclass\, multiserver queuing systems. We calibrate our model with highly detailed historical data and illustrate how it can be used to inform medical decision making and improve patient welfare. In the second part of the talk\, we present a data-driven optimization approach for designing fair\, efficient\, and interpretable policies for prioritizing heterogeneous homeless youth on a waiting list for scarce housing resources. Our framework provides the policy-maker the flexibility to select both their desired structure for the policy and their desired fairness requirements. We evaluate our framework using real-world data from the United States homeless youth housing system. We show that our framework results in policies that are more fair than the current policy in place and than classical interpretable machine learning approaches while achieving a similar (or higher) level of overall efficiency. The first part of the talk is joint work with Chaitanya Bandi and Nikolaos Trichakis and is forthcoming in Management Science. The second part of the talk is joint work with Mohammad Javad Azizi\, Bryan Wilder\, Eric Rice\, and Milind Tambe and is forthcoming in the Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on the Integration of Constraint Programming\, Artificial Intelligence\, and Operations Research (CPAIOR)\, 2018.\n \nBio: Phebe Vayanos is an Assistant Professor of Industrial & Systems Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Southern California. She is also an Associate Director of the CAIS Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society at USC. Her research aims to address fundamental questions arising in data-driven integer and robust optimization\, and game theory.

The celebrations of that national holiday\, she shows\, provided a venue for a public contesting of the dominant ethno-Catholic conception of French Canadian identity and\, via the violent rejection of Catholic symbols\, the articulation of a new\, secular Québécois identity. From there\, Zubrzycki extends her analysis to the present\, looking at the role of Québécois identity in recent debates over immigration\, the place of religious symbols in the public sphere\, and the politics of cultural heritage—issues that also offer insight on similar debates elsewhere in the world.\" UID:49560-11476270@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49560 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Books,History,Scholarship,Writing LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery, room #100 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180402T095505 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180411T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180411T183000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Health and Safety - India DESCRIPTION:Before your international travel\, learn what you need to stay healthy and safe in India.
