This exhibit provides a platform to begin understanding the effects of rising sea levels along the coasts of Indonesia, Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Italy and the United States.

By the end of the century oceans are predicted to rise between .3 and 2.5 meters, which will result in major flooding in coastal cities around the world. The Sinking Cities Project aims to document this inundation through the stories of residents and the changing landscape of their cities.

This photo and video exhibit was produced by Marcin Szczepanski, visual communications director at Michigan Engineering, and Frank Sedlar, Michigan Engineering alumnus.

Join us for an exhibit opening event on November 16th, 4:00-7:00 p.m., in the Clark Library.

Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection (December 10, 2018 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/56679 56679-13960718@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 10, 2018 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects; bilingualism in Egypt; books read by the Egyptian monks; and the works of Shenoute the Great, the most important author of Coptic literature.

This exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

Join us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

How to capture a moment? : Momentary state-oriented approach to studying and intervening emotion regulation


There are several existing measures of emotion regulation which mainly rely upon retrospective, trait-oriented self-report. However, characteristics of emotion and emotion regulation are more likely to manifest in a specific context within a short period of time. In this presentation, therefore, I would like to introduce three studies focused on in-the-moment state-based approaches including (i) ERP investigation on attentional disengagement of individuals with suicidality, (ii) ecological momentary assessment of mood of individuals with depression, and (3) effectiveness of immediate intervention through mobile application.

Deluge is a culmination of Mendel’s ten years of work on the Drowning World project, shooting video and stills in thirteen different countries. It depicts a variety of individual stories, positioned with a synchronous global narrative in a way that is both personally intimate and deeply political. In all his years of responding to floods and making many journeys he has shot a vast archive of video footage, which is fully activated in this presentation for the first time.

About Gideon Mendel and his Drowning World project:
Gideon Mendel came of age as a photographer in South Africa in the 1980’s and identified strongly as a ‘struggle photographer’. This marked him and his subsequent career has been notable for his engagement with three of the crucial political and social issues that have faced his generation. These are the struggle against apartheid, HIV/AIDS in Africa and Climate Change.

A leading contemporary photographer, Gideon Mendel's intimate style of image making and long-term commitment to projects has earned him international recognition and many awards. He was shortlisted for the Prix Pictet Prize 2015 and recently has won both the inaugural Jackson Pollock Prize for Creativity and the Greenpeace Photo Award 2016.

His on-going project ‘Drowning World, explores the human dimension of climate change by focusing on floods across geographical and cultural boundaries. By highlighting the personal impact of flooding he evokes our vulnerability to global warming questioning our sense of stability in the world.

The work began in 2007, when Mendel photographed floods in the UK and in India within weeks of each other. He was deeply struck by the contrasting impact of these events, and the shared experiences of those affected.

Since then he has endeavoured to travel to flood zones around the world visiting Haiti (2008), Pakistan (2010), Australia (2011), Thailand (2011), Nigeria (2012), Germany (2013), The Philippines (2013), The UK (2014), India (2014), Brazil (2015), Bangladesh (2015), the USA (2015 and 2017) and France (2016 and 2018).

As the work progressed photographing floods became both a literal and allegorical means of documenting the tension between the personal and the global effects of climate change. Each location added has intensified the narrative impact of the endeavour.

Drowning World now consists of four parallel and connected narrative elements: Submerged Portraits, Flood Lines, Watermarks, and Deluge.

Social, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Misattribution of Reference Dependence: Theory and Experiments (December 10, 2018 11:45am) https://events.umich.edu/event/56527 56527-13939985@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 10, 2018 11:45am

Organized By: Social, Behavioral, and Experimental Economics (SBEE)

Abstract:

In this paper, we use a pair of experiments to show that workers form biased beliefs about a novel real-effort task because they fail to retrospectively account for sensations of positive and negative surprise. In our baseline experiment, participants learned from experience about one of two unfamiliar tasks, one more onerous than the other. Some participants were assigned their task by chance just prior to working, while others knew in advance which task they would face. In a second session conducted hours later, we elicited those participants' willingness to work at that same task. Relative to participants who knew with certainty which task they would face, participants assigned to the less-onerous task by chance were more willing to work, while participants assigned to the more-onerous task by chance were less willing to work. These qualitative results, and the fact that differences in willingness to work remained hours after initial impressions were formed, are consistent with the idea that participants mistakenly attributed sensations of positive or negative surprise to the effort cost of their assigned task.

Title: Are children’s neurobiological systems of stress sensitive to culture?
Abstract:Human beliefs, practices and behaviors are shaped by culture. Evolutionary theories suggest that biology and culture co-evolved, such that a symbiotic relationship exists between biology and culture. In order to adapt to the cultural environment, throughout development, human biology may have to become more sensitive to contexts that are most salient (or threatening) to one’s culture. Can we observe such a neurobiological sensitivity to cultural contexts in young children? Through assessments of preschoolers in the US, China and Japan, I will determine whether children’s neurobiological systems of stress are differentially sensitive to cultural contexts. By using three different stress paradigms designed to induce challenges that are relevant to their corresponding cultural contexts, I will examine whether children’s 4-year-old children’s salivary cortisol reactivity is more reactive to psychosocial stressors that are salient in their cultures. These findings are discussed as part of understanding how culture may shape children’s regulation at different levels of processing (emotion expressions, cortisol, motor activity).

Title: Socioeconomic Differences in Kindergartners’ Performance Monitoring: An ERP Investigation
Abstract: Extensive research has documented relations between socioeconomic status (SES)—comprised of parent educational attainment, occupation, and family income—and the development of children’s self-regulation skills. However, only recently have researchers begun investigating the neural mechanisms underlying these relations. One facet of self-regulation—performance monitoring—can be indexed at the level of electrophysiological activity and has demonstrated measurement reliability in young children. The goal of this study was to investigate relations between components of SES and event-related potentials (ERPs) associated with performance monitoring, including the error-related negativity (ERN) and error positivity (Pe), measured in a sample of kindergarten children during a child friendly Go/No-Go task. Results indicated that family income-to-needs predicted the magnitude of children’s Pe responses, whereas neither indicator of SES predicted the magnitude of the ERN. Given the Pe reflects the awareness of committing an error, affective responses to erring, and processes related to adaptive performance following mistake responses, these results provoke future investigation as to whether the Pe may be a potential mechanism linking SES to performance differences in assessments of children’s self-regulation.
Bio: Nick is a third-year Ph.D. candidate working with Pam Davis-Kean, Fred Morrison and, as a member of the developmental training grant, Bill Gehring. He received his undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Michigan. His research focuses on understanding the role of contextual factors, including socioeconomic status and parenting, in shaping the development of children’s executive functioning and academic skills.

Quantitative Biology Seminar | Disruption of Excitation/Inhibition Balance in Cortical Neuronal Networks (December 10, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58012 58012-14392459@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 10, 2018 12:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Department of Physics

Cortical neuron spiking activity is broadly classified as temporally irregular and asynchronous. Model networks with a balance between large recurrent excitation and inhibition capture these two features, and are a popular framework relating circuit structure and network dynamics, though are traditionally restricted to a single attractor. We analyze paired whole cell voltage-clamp recordings from spontaneously active neurons in mouse auditory cortex slices (Graupner & Reyes, 2013) showing a network where correlated excitation and inhibition effectively cancel, except for intermittent periods when the network shows a macroscopic synchronous event. These data suggest that while the core mechanics of balanced activity are important, we require new theories capturing these brief but powerful periods when balance fails. Recent work by Mongillo et.al. (2012) showed that balanced networks with short-term synaptic plasticity can depart from strict linear dynamics. We extend this model by incorporating finite network size, introducing strong nonlinearities in the firing rate dynamics and allowing finite size induced noise to elicit large scale, yet infrequent, synchronous events. We identify core requirements for system size and network plasticity to capture the transient synchronous activity observed in our experimental data set. Our model properly mediates between the asynchrony of balanced activity and the tendency for strong recurrence to promote macroscopic population dynamics.

Velocity Selective Arterial Spin Labeling Perfusion Imaging at 3T and 7T (December 10, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58023 58023-14392479@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 10, 2018 3:00pm
Location: Gerstacker Building
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

Purpose: Hemodynamic parameters, such as perfusion, are key indicators of organ function. Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) allows us to perform perfusion measurements without injection of exogenous tracers. The Purpose of this thesis is to implement and improve a Fourier-Transform based Velocity Selective Inversion (FT-VSI) pulse train for Velocity-Selective Arterial Spin Labeling (VSASL) on a 7 T Scanner. Additionally, to perform Abdominal perfusion Imaging using VSASL on a 3T Scanner.



Methods: The FT-VSI was calibrated and simulated to check for velocity profiles. It's sensitivities to B0/B1 inhomogeneity and gradient imperfections such as eddy currents were evaluated through phantom studies. A flow phantom was used to test for inversion efficiency . At 3T, a velocity selective saturation(VSS) pulse was used to image Kidney and Spinal Cord blood perfusion. The tracer kinetic properties of VSS pulses for renal and spinal cord perfusion were characterized.



Results: Phantom results of the proposed FT-VSI pulse train demonstrated high correlation to B0/B1 field inhomogeneity. A high T2* decay was observed at 7T. Through Simulations, the FT-VSI was improved for higher velocity selectivity and shorter length of pulse to counteract this decay. Eddy current effects were highly controllable by introducing gaps between consecutive gradient pulses. At 3T, ASL images collected at various labeling delays after the VSS pulse. ASL values such as blood volume(BV), Blood Flow(BF), Bolus Arterial Transit time (ATT) and bolus width were estimated by fitting a two compartment models. The Kidney perfusion values (Medulla and cortex) were in agreement with literature values. Although Lower perfusion and blood volume in the spinal cord resulted in poor fits, Spinal cord flow noticeably did not experience a delay in the label arrival



Conclusion: A FT-VSI pulse train was demonstrated on a 7T to be a suitable labeling module for VSASL with robustness of velocity selective profile to gradient imperfections but not to B0/B1 field inhomogeneity. Application of velocity selective pulses for abdominal imaging were demonstrated at 3T.

Bringing Biochemistry into the Genomic Era (December 10, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/51012 51012-11941994@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 10, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Chemistry Dow Lab
Organized By: Department of Chemistry

High-throughput and quantitative biochemical approaches will be required to develop predictive models of cell function and regulation, and to understand systems as complex as enzymes. I will describe two such approaches and the insights attained to date. RNA-MaP developed by the Greenleaf lab at Stanford allows us to determine thermodynamic and kinetic rules for RNA binding by RNA binding proteins, and provides testable models for cellular RNA/protein interactions and additional biophysical and evolutionary insights. HT-MEK (High-throughput Mechanistic Enzyme Kinetics), a new microfluidics methodology developed by the Fordyce lab at Stanford, allows us to obtain quantitative kinetic and thermodynamic data for thousands of enzyme variants, in a small fraction of the time and at a minute fraction of the cost of traditional biochemical approaches. Our initial studies on an Alkaline Phosphatase superfamily member provide the first comprehensive functional landscape for an enzyme, delineating function throughout an enzyme scaffold. Studies on this and additional systems are needed to understand enzyme function, to reveal the action of drugs and allosteric effectors, and to develop rules to engineer new enzymes and pathways at will. Most generally, quantitative, high-throughput biochemical methodologies will usher in a post-genomic era in biology that is grounded in biochemical understanding and powered by quantitative physical models.

A large experimental program is underway to extend the sensitivity of direct detection experiments, searching for the interaction of Dark Matter with nuclei, down to the neutrino floor. However, such experiments are becoming increasingly difficult and costly due to the large target masses and exquisite background rejection needed for the necessary improvements in sensitivity. We investigate an alternative approach to the detection of Dark Matter-nucleon interactions: Searching for the persistent traces left by Dark Matter scattering in ancient minerals obtained from much deeper than current underground laboratories. We estimate the sensitivity of paleo-detectors, which extends far beyond current upper limits for a wide range of Dark Matter masses.

Home health care (HHC) has become popular and attracted substantial attention from researchers and practitioners due to its major advantages over traditional ways of treatment. One of the primary advantages of HHC is the quality of care. In HHC, a patient receives one-on-one attention, whereas in a typical health unit, a single staff is usually responsible for caring multiple patients. Another advantage of HHC is the cost. For example, cost to care terminally ill patients in an acute-care hospital is estimated to be 40% more expensive than cost of the same care in a hospital-based palliative-care unit and over 10 times more expensive than HHC. In 2012, over 2.2 million Canadians received some levels of HHC services. HHC has become a pressing issue for healthcare policy makers both in Canada and around the world, especially with an aging population. Providing a HHC service comes with many challenges. For example, caregivers travel times are significant as reports show that caregivers in the US have travelled twice the distance of UPS delivery drivers in 2010. One of the biggest challenges in HHC is to match caregivers and patients and come up with a good scheduled that is feasible, cost efficient and acceptable for medial and patient needs. One way to overcome these challenges is to use mathematical modelling and generate least costly schedules that will determine caregiver to patient assignments and routing of caregivers by considering constraints of the system. In this talk, we will describe the challenges and present of some of our projects in HHC scheduling.

This talk is based on joint works with Bahman Naderi, Gregory S. Zaric and Vahid Roshanaei.
