Using terra-cotta sculpture clay\, Polenberg hand builds her ceramic animals\, seemingly bringing them to life. The face of each one-of-a-kind work of art expresses happiness\, surprise\, mischief\, or a free spirit. Every sculpture is glazed and fired many times\, building up a rich\, textured colored surface. Holding an MFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design in ceramics and sculpture and a BA from the City University of New York in painting\, Polenberg widely exhibits her creative works in several media: ceramics\, paint\, graphite and pastel.

For each one\, an accompanying explanation describes its significance. The subjects of the images are cells\, tissues and organs\, from a wide variety of biological sources (plants\, worms\, fruit flies\, fish\, mice and yes\, even human brain). The colors are added by investigators\, to allow them to see the otherwise transparent tissues. By looking at these microscopic images\, you will learn about research into normal embryonic development as well as cutting-edge investigations into diseases such as basal cell carcinoma\, bipolar disease\, epilepsy and cancer.

Blending images from the real world and her imagination\, Organic Fiction celebrates nature in all its beauty\, chaos and complexity. Hava Gurevich received a BFA in photography from U-M and an MFA in painting from Illinois State University. Her creative process begins with photographs and sketches of details in nature\, such as tree branches\, ice patterns\, twisted vines\, and delicate spring blossoms. These drawings contribute to her personal vocabulary of shapes and gestures\, and she often digitally combines them with older paintings to become starting points of new works.

He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally\, for more than forty years\, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine\, The Big Scream\, providing a venue for more than 200 poets\, including both big names names and younger\, lesser-known poets.

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520845@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180921T125329 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181024T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181024T113000 SUMMARY:Ceremony / Service:Neubacher Ceremony DESCRIPTION:The Ceremony recognizes U-M affiliates (faculty/staff/students/alums) who have been nominated and selected for their contributions to disability issues.\n\nThe Council for Disability Concerns produces an annual series of events designed to raise awareness of disability topics on campus and in our community.

I use a variety of 16th and 17th-century botanical images\, from Chinese plum blossoms to German botanicals\, as starting points for each drawing. Rather than alluding to an actual landscape\, I instead combine species of plants in the same drawing that would not customarily exist together in nature. Obsessive handwork creates intricate layers of visual information to be discovered over time and\, in this way\, the works become a seductive meditation for the viewer.\n\nI use botanical motifs to create images that are universally associated with growth and continuity. My deeper intent is to conjure the ‘flower’ as an active\, forceful agent\, subverting a culturally conditioned point of view that often deems the ephemeral and the organic as less powerful and of limited value. My ‘wonderland’ presents a view of life that pulses with expansive fecundity\; hopefully\, it also propels comprehension of the connectedness of all beings within the limitless energy operating throughout this world.\n\nWhen making art for public spaces\, I strive to invest these commissions with similar content\, while bringing beauty and a high level of craft to a particular environment. As I conceive and develop each piece\, I respond to the specifics of the surrounding architecture\, ecosystem\, and community in an effort to compellingly meet the needs of the site. My studio practice\, in turn\, is invigorated by opportunities to design work in relationship to an existing framework\, and the special demands and responsibilities this process entails.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.\n\nLead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

In the commercialization aspects of this role she prepares breakthrough energy technology teams for the transition from lab to market by coaching on patents\, manufacturing process design/economics and partnerships with customers/funding groups. In her strategy role she helps to shape improved approaches\, across a broad spectrum\, towards maximizing positive impact of ARPA-E technologies on the US competitiveness.\n\nTalk abstract:\nThe long awaited emergence of ES as an economically sound enabler of electrified trans- portation\, often considered pure speculation\, is now a reality. Li-Ion is satisfying the many criteria for ICE parity which was originally set by DOE. Its high volume manufacturing now gives rise to lower costs which ensures continued commoditization and widespread adoption\, albeit not based on US as the market lead. Thus the formerly nascent industry is settling in to predictable mature behaviors. For the reimagined GRID of the future\, cost effective wind and solar renewables coupled to the now cost effective Li-Ion storage are beginning to beat the usual approaches for electricity generation - without subsidies. In this presentation we will look at the evolution and some of the details of this pres- ent case\, the remaining performance shortcomings\, and how they might be met. Topics will include global manufacturing supply/demand trends\, economics of scale\, remaining technology gaps and technical challenges\, including ARPA-E breakthrough approaches for both transportation and stationary. Our problem has transitioned from grappling to bring Li-Ion to the world to avoiding its total technology lock-in\, which may ultimately thwart the next generation of progress.

Dialogues on Memory and Desire DESCRIPTION:Have We Met: Dialogues on Memory and Desire draws inspiration from Ann Arbor’s legacy of social movements (Anti-War Movement\, Civil Rights Movements) and experimental art practices (The Once Group) from the late-1950s to the 1970s as its point of departure. It brings together archival materials and reproductions from the University of Michigan’s Labadie Collection and the Bentley Library in conjunction with radical artworks by diverse\, multi-generational artists and designers whose works are deeply influenced by the ideas of freedom and self-determination\; re-writing the canonical accounts of history\; and building contemporary culture and solidarity through collective action.\n\nAt a time when the idea of citizenship in the United States is being deeply challenged and redefined through horrific occurrences of gun violence and police brutality towards racialized and queer civilians and refugees\, this exhibition asks what role art institutions can play in building inclusive and vibrant creative spaces the 21st Century. Have We Met?

Ford School of Public Policy\, Betty Ford Classroom (1110)\n735 S. State Street\, Ann Arbor 48109-3091\n11:30am-12:50pm \n\nFree and open to the public. Pizza lunch provided. \n\nProfessor Tuohy will speak about her new book\, Remaking Policy: Scale\, Pace and Political Strategy in Health Care Reform (University of Toronto Press 2018). The book presents a new theoretical framework for addressing perennial questions about the drivers of policy change. It argues that the scale and pace of major policy change - change that alters the balance of power\, the methods of control or the organizing principles of a policy arena – are fundamentally driven by political calculations at the centre of government\, as political actors assess their ability to overcome vetoes not only in the present but also over time. The book develops this argument by drawing on ten cases of health policy change across seven decades (1945-2017) and four nations (the United States\, Britain\, the Netherlands and Canada). In her talk Prof. Tuohy will pay particular attention to the American cases\, showing why the US is especially prone to “mosaic” bursts of simultaneous small-scale changes\, and why both “big-bang” (large scale\, fast paced) and “blueprint” (large scale\, slow paced) strategies have proved elusive.\n\n\nCarolyn Tuohy specializes in comparative public policy\, particularly social policy. She holds a B.A. from the University of Toronto\, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Political Science from Yale University. In addition to Remaking Policy\, her publications include Accidental Logics: the Dynamics of Change in the Health Care Arena in the United States\, Britain and Canada (Oxford University Press 1999) and Policy and Politics in Canada: Institutionalized Ambivalence (Temple University Press 1992)\, a treatment of Canadian public policy in comparative perspective. She is the co-editor of Exploring Social Insurance: Can a Dose of Europe Cure Canadian Health Care Finance? (McGill-Queen’s University Press 2008) and Taking Public Universities Seriously (University of Toronto Press 2005).\nIn addition she is the author of numerous journal articles and book chapters in the areas of health and social policy\, professional regulation\, and comparative approaches in public policy\, and is frequently consulted by government and related agencies on public policy matters. From 1992-2005 she held a number of senior administrative positions at the University of Toronto\, including Deputy Provost and Vice-President\, Government and Institutional Relations.

The International Monitoring System (IMS) was established to verify treaty compliance\, and consists of four technologies: seismic\, infrasound\, hydroacoustic\, and radionuclide. The radionuclide component of the IMS conducts atmospheric monitoring to identify radioactive particles and gases associated with nuclear testing\, such as radioxenon. As a noble gas\, the radioxenon produced in an underground nuclear explosion can be released into the atmosphere\, for subsequent detection by the IMS. Radioxenon is also produced by fission-based civilian processes\, such as nuclear reactors and medical isotope production facilities\, requiring discrimination between these sources. The focus of this work is to improve the resolution and sensitivity of radioxenon monitoring systems.\n\nRadioxenon is measured using beta-gamma coincidence techniques\, typically with scintillating plastic and NaI(Tl) detectors\; however\, the poor energy resolution of the plastic results in isotopic interference\, complicating the analysis. Additionally\, radon emits decay energies that interfere with those from radioxenon\, requiring complex gas- processing systems to filter it from the sample. Furthermore\, radioxenon diffuses into the plastic detectors\, which increases the background of subsequent measurements\; this phenomenon is known as the memory effect. To mitigate these issues\, this thesis demonstrated 1) an anticoincidence analysis method to better identify metastable isotopes\, 2) a validated MCNPX-PoliMi simulation tool to analyze new detector systems and produce training spectra for analysis testing\, and 3) a prototype radioxenon detector system based on stilbene.\n\nStilbene cell prototypes have been developed\, tested\, and compared with a traditional plastic scintillator cell. The results show that the stilbene cell has similar response to the plastic cell with an improved energy resolution\, full-width at half-maximum decreased by 2.2 keV at 129 keV. The stilbene cell is capable of pulse shape discrimination allowing for radon mitigation through alpha identification. The analysis presented reduced the minimum detectable concentration of Xe-135 by 1% and could be used for environmental monitoring. The stilbene cell was shown to have 0.043% residual activity compared to 4.5% residual activity for the plastic cell\, demonstrating significantly improved memory effect. The results presented in the thesis allow for better identification of metastable isotopes\, improved simulation techniques\, and improved detection sensitivity which could lead to improved source discrimination strengthening the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty verification regime.

An attractive approach to addressing this need is the use of catalysts that can be altered through post-synthetic modifications. Several commonly employed methods to change catalyst reactivity post-synthesis include the manipulation of pH\, photoactivation\, or even changes in solvent. This talk will discuss the synthesis\, characterization\, and reactivity of fluorescent dye-containing main group compounds that are capable of exhibiting a colorimetric response upon binding substrate molecules. This talk will also describe the incorporation of fluorescent dye-containing ligands into metal and main group complexes for switchable reactivity. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nZachariah Heiden (Washington State University) UID:55302-13716035@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55302 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180925T133733 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181024T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181024T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899 and MICDE Seminar series: Juan Pablo Vielma\, MIT Sloan School of Management DESCRIPTION:Title: Modeling power of mixed integer convex optimization problems and their effective solution with Julia and JuMP\n\nAbstract:\nMore than 50 years of development have made mixed integer linear programming (MILP) an extremely successful tool. MILP's modeling flexibility allows it describe a wide range of business\, engineering and scientific problems\, and\, while MILP is NP-hard\, many of these problems are routinely solved in practice thanks to state-of-the- art solvers that nearly double their machine-independent speeds every year. Inspired by this success\, the last decade has seen a surge of activity on the solution and application of mixed integer convex programming (MICP)\, which extends MILP's versatility by allowing the use of convex constraints in addition to linear inequalities. In this talk we cover various recent developments concerning theory\, algorithms and computation for MICP. Solvers for MICP can be significantly more effective than those for more general non-convex optimization\, so one of the questions we cover in this talk is what classes of non-convex constraints can be modeled through MICP. We also cover the solution of MICP problems through polyhedral approximation algorithms that exploit the power of extended formulations. Finally\, we cover various topics concerning the modeling and computational solution of MICP problems using the Julia programming language and the JuMP modeling language for optimization. In Particular\, we show how mixed integer optimal control problems where the variables are polynomials can be easily modeled and solved by seamlessly combining several Julia packages and JuMP extensions with the Julia-written MICP solver Pajarito.\n\nBio:\nJuan Pablo Vielma is the Richard S.

My talk reunites this corpus of feathered microcarvings currently dispersed in collections throughout Europe and the Americas in order to consider their reception by the European audiences for whom they were created. While recent scholarship addressing the migration of featherwork across the Atlantic has theorized its value in relation to early modern artistic debates\, this talk instead considers the significance of pairing feathers from a specific family of birds with a limited range of Christian iconography in objects that were intended to serve as instruments of private devotion. Looking at this group through the prism of European commentary addressing the hummingbird’s scale\, its colors\, and its unique behavior sheds light on the ways in which period audiences collapsed distinctions between curio and devotional object\, the study of nature and the contemplation of the divine.

The documentary elucidates both the staggering scale of the refugee crisis and its profoundly personal human impact.\n\nCaptured over the course of an eventful year in 23 countries\, the film follows a chain of urgent human stories that stretches across the globe in countries including Afghanistan\, Bangladesh\, France\, Greece\, Germany\, Iraq\, Israel\, Italy\, Kenya\, Mexico\, and Turkey. \"Human Flow\" is a witness to its subjects and their desperate search for safety\, shelter and justice: from teeming refugee camps to perilous ocean crossings to barbed-wire borders\; from dislocation and disillusionment to courage\, endurance and adaptation\; from the haunting lure of lives left behind to the unknown potential of the future. \"Human Flow\" comes at a crucial time when tolerance\, compassion\, and trust are needed more than ever. This visceral work of cinema is a testament to the unassailable human spirit and poses one of the questions that will define this century: Will our global society emerge from fear\, isolation\, and self-interest and choose a path of openness\, freedom\, and respect for humanity? \n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to cesmichigan@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.
