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.

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.

In traditional classification-based MVPA\, each class or label is modeled as having a unique spatial brain activity. Multi-Label classification is an emerging machine learning paradigm that can detect multiple classes\, that are not necessarily mutually exclusive\, in a single instance.\n\nFor this study\, we extend a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm\, a popular MVPA approach\, to a multi-label algorithm that can detect both left and right hand tapping tasks simultaneously. Participants performed four tasks in a blocked experiment design: rest\, right hand tapping\, left hand tapping\, and both hands tapping. We compare two training models with our multi-label data. One considers both hands tapping as a new class. The other considers both hands tapping as a positive instance of right and left hand tapping. Furthermore\, we investigate the effects of SVM parameters on our algorithm’s performance. Our results demonstrates the feasibility of using a multi-label paradigm for motor task fMRI data. We discuss the capabilities and limitations of our approach and the potential to generalize to other fMRI task-based applications. \n\nChair: Scott Peltier UID:51953-12321831@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51953 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering - 2203 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180323T181532 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exchanges: How We Got Here DESCRIPTION:Exchanges: How We Got Here\, the 2018 Stamps Senior Show\, features work in a range of media by graduating BA\, BFA\, and Interarts students at U-M’s Penny W.

A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

These manuscripts incorporated prayers\, hymns\, biblical stories\, and monthly calendars featuring religious feast days\, which were often supplemented by images painted in exquisite detail. Today\, books of hours are a testament to the visually rich material culture of the Middle Ages. UMMA was recently gifted a bejeweled double-sided calendar leaf for January. Executed on parchment\, the page highlights the material opulence and artistry involved in manuscript illumination. Accompanying the calendar are painted images or miniatures of the labor and characteristic activity of the month\, and Aquarius\, the zodiac sign for January\, embodied by a man collecting water from a stream. The folio’s luminous\, gilded surface\, accentuated by the use of bright colors\, was meant to transport the medieval viewer into a state of spiritual transcendence. \n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Mrs. Carrol Robertsen.

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. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

With a specific focus on prepubertal girls\, there is only one option to preserve fertility and ovarian endocrine function after cancer treatment: ovarian tissue cryopreservation prior to treatment followed by autotransplantation when the patient is disease free and is ready to undergo puberty or have children. Unfortunately\, ovarian tissue in patients with blood borne cancers\, such as leukemia\, may carry cancer cells and present risks of cancer cell transfer. In response\, we have developed a hydrogel-based immune-isolating capsule that protects an allogeneic encapsulated ovarian tissue from immune cells\, allows diffusion of nutrients\, and promotes tissue survival and function. In this study\, we investigated whether the immune-isolating autograft-compatible capsule can prevent cancer cells present with the encapsulated ovarian tissue from escaping the capsule and invading the host tissues\, possibly causing cancer relapse. The tested conditions included two levels of encapsulated cancer cells in designs that varied hydrogel shell thickness\, core composition strength\, and multi-layered construction. These hydrogels were imaged to monitor cancer cell growth and migration through the capsule\, and tests for cell viability were conducted to confirm sufficient diffusivity of each design. Additionally\, follicle growth expansion with co-encapsulated cancer cells was measured to demonstrate functionality of the device as a suitable environment for tissue survival. By adding an extra layer to the outside of the original hydrogel\, the double shelled design was found to be successful in containing cancer cells for up to 34 days without compromising the influx of nutrients necessary for survival. With finding a hydrogel design that successfully retains cancerous cells and facilitates follicle growth\, the prospect of utilizing immune-isolating hydrogels as a fertility preservation option for childhood cancer survivors is increasingly promising. \n\nChair: Ariella Shikanov UID:51952-12321830@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51952 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering LOCATION:Gerstacker Building - 1117 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191209T094000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T160000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:German Lab DESCRIPTION:The German Lab is open Monday-Thursday 1-4 every week.

Over 30 million US adults suffer from osteoarthritis and for those whose condition is localized in the TMJ\, tissue engineering studies and treatment are limited. With a better understanding of the crosstalk between cell microenvironment and BMP signaling\, design of cartilage regeneration strategies for injured/diseased craniofacial joints can be improved. To investigate this interaction\, we studied the chondrogenesis of NCCs with constitutively active BMPR1a receptors in a novel biosynthetic stem cell niche with tunable stiffness and pre-chondrocyte ECM ligand presentation. To reveal how a controlled variation of the microenvironment affects BMP-mediated chondrogenesis\, we encapsulated NCCs in 7kPa and 30kPa PEG hydrogels to determine the effect of microenvironmental stiffness chondrogenesis of NCCs mediated by the BMPR1a receptor.\n \nChair: Rhima Coleman\, Ph.D. UID:51951-12321829@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51951 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering LOCATION:Lurie Robert H.

A graduate student workshop with Prof. Lee will occur from 11:30-1p\, in Haven Hall 3773 (RSVP with Peggy at lepeggy@umich.edu). The public lecture will be held from 4-5:30 pm in Haven Hall 3512. \n \nRachel Lee is the Director of the Center for the Study of Women and Professor of English\, Gender Studies\, and the Institute of Society and Genetics at UCLA. She is the author of The Exquisite Corpse of Asian America: Biopolitics\, Biosociality and Posthuman Ecologies (2014) winner of the Best Book in Culture Studies Award from the Association of Asian American Studies. Her scholarship draws on critical methods from race/ethnic studies in conjunction with theories of gender and sexuality\, to examine the specific interfaces and choreographies of stand-up comedy\, dance\, new media/digital technology\, and literature\, most recently as they reflect on the life sciences.\n \nLecture Description:\nThe signature style of Korean-born\, NY based artist Anicka Yi—winner of the 2016-17 Hugo Boss Award—involves repurposing materials associated with feminine domesticity--cooking paraphilia\, edible ingredients\, bath and vanity products—and coassembling them alongside industrial polymers\, fiberboard\, and metallic components. She has gained some notoriety as a smell portraitist due to her collaborations with perfumers and her incorporation into her work of molds and bacteria often sourced specifically from women’s mouths\, armpits and vaginas. In this lecture\, Dr. Rachel Lee attends to the anti-colonial critique threaded through key pieces of her oeuvre.\n \n*Please refrain from wearing perfumes and scented body products to our events—share the air!

DESCRIPTION: Understanding nanoscale protein dynamics at interfaces is crucial for topics ranging from disease inception and drug delivery to separations science. Recent efforts by our group and others have shown the promise of applying single molecule methods to link mechanistic detail about protein adsorptions to macroscale observables. When we study one molecule at a time\, we eliminate ensemble averaging\, thereby accessing any underlying complexity. However\, we must develop new methods to increase information content in the resulting low density and low signal-to-noise data and to improve space and time resolution. \n\nI will highlight recent advances in super-resolution microscopy for quantifying the physics and chemistry that occur between target proteins and stationary phase supports during chromatographic separations. My discussion will concentrate on the newfound ability of super-resolved single protein spectroscopy to inform theoretical parameters via quantification of adsorption-desorption dynamics\, protein unfolding\, and nano-confined transport. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nChristy Landes (Rice University) UID:48445-11235884@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48445 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180129T111524 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Pioneer Americanists DESCRIPTION:Join J.
