SUMMARY:Exhibition:Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection
DESCRIPTION: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well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic.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.\n\nThis 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.\n\nJoin us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Deluge
DESCRIPTION:Five Channel Video Installation\n13 Minutes\, 27 Seconds.\n\nDeluge 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.\n\nAbout Gideon Mendel and his Drowning World project:\nGideon 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.\n\nA 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.\n\nHis 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nSince 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).\n\nAs 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.\n\nDrowning World now consists of four parallel and connected narrative elements: Submerged Portraits\, Flood Lines\, Watermarks\, and Deluge.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Urban Biographies\, Ancient and Modern
DESCRIPTION:Human beings are political animals\, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis\,” the Greek word for city. 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

SUMMARY:Presentation:PhD Defense: Jennifer Arthur
DESCRIPTION:Title: Subcritical Neutron Multiplication Inference Measurements for Nuclear Data and Computational Methods Validation\n\nCo-Chair: Prof. Sara Pozzi\nCo-Chair: Dr. Rian Bahran\n\nABSTRACT: Subcritical measurements have been continually performed since the 1940s\, and simulation capabilities were developed alongside the measurements for comparison purposes. The accuracy of predictive radiation transport simulations are limited by the accuracy of the Monte Carlo simulation codes and underlying nuclear data. A subcritical benchmark measurement is a high-quality subcritical measurement in which all physical parameters and uncertainties are well characterized to a high degree of accuracy\, and which is peer reviewed and compiled with other benchmark experiments into a database such as the International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project (ICSBEP). Benchmark measurements are therefore trusted to provide accurate comparisons between experimental and simulated data\, for nuclear data and radiation transport code validation purposes. Critical benchmarks are plentiful\, but are not sensitive to correlated neutron parameters in the way that the handful of existing subcritical benchmarks are. This work demonstrates how we can apply subcritical neutron multiplication measurements and simulations to better validate relevant nuclear data and radiation transport computational methods currently used for nuclear nonproliferation and safety applications. The work encompasses the entire process of an advanced subcritical measurement\, from the earliest planning stages to the final analysis and comparison to simulated results. Both the Critical and Subcritical 0-Power Experiment at Rensselaer (CaSPER) measurement\, a novel advanced subcritical measurement\, and the SCRαP measurement\, a state-of-the-art subcritical benchmark measurement\, campaigns have been completed. Simulations of LANL ICSBEP benchmark-quality reflected plutonium (BeRP) ball subcritical measurements have been conducted using various radiation transport codes that take into account the correlated physics of fission neutrons. Comparisons of both the results and the underlying neutron multiplicity models applied by the codes have been investigated\, as well as new methods of applying comparisons of these subcritical neutron multiplication inference measurements and the associated simulations to nuclear data and computational methods validation. Optimization algorithm frameworks have been applied to both nuclear data evaluation based on subcritical neutron multiplication inference benchmarks\, and the design of subcritical neutron multiplication inference benchmarks.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Therapeutic benefit of scaffolds that capture metastatic tumor cells in vivo
DESCRIPTION:For most cancers\, the formation of distant metastasis is the point at which clinical treatment shifts from curative intent to extending progression free survival. Physicians are currently unable to diagnose metastasis until disseminated tumor cells affect the function of a target organ as a secondary tumor. This dissertation describes a novel approach where implantable biomaterial scaffolds are used to recruit metastatic tumor cells for early detection prior to colonization of solid organs. This recruitment of tumor cells to a defined site can not only serve as a platform for detection\, but can also have therapeutic effects and be used as a platform to study metastatic processes. This dissertation describes work in each of these three areas including using an implantable biomaterial scaffold for early detection\, therapeutic benefit\, and a platform to study metastasis. The therapeutic benefit of scaffolds was demonstrated by scaffold implantation significantly enhancing disease-free survival in a murine model of triple negative breast cancer. Myeloid derived suppressor cells were the key population of immune cells whose capture at the scaffold and reduction in the spleen and primary tumor lead to enhanced survival. In an effort to probe the contributions of various immune cell types to the formation and maintenance of the pre-metastatic and metastatic niche in vivo\, a gene delivery approach was utilized to alter the immune microenvironment of the scaffold and investigate the recruitment of tumor cells\, finding reduced immune and tumor cell recruitment with IL-10 delivery and developing a model of tumor cell recruitment that is dependent upon the proportion of each immune cell type in the niche. Additional efforts to use the scaffold to study metastasis included studying scaffold captured tumor cells relative to tumor cells derived from other locations. Scaffold captured tumor cells were a highly aggressive population of metastatic tumor cells similar to those found in a metastatic lung\, underscoring the use of the scaffold as a sampling location for metastatic disease that is reflective of tumor cell phenotype in solid organs. Next\, biomaterial scaffolds were also validated in transgenic models of both breast and pancreatic cancer to identify immune dysregulation as a function of tumor burden\, recruit tumor cells\, and to reduce tumor burden. Finally\, non-invasive ultrasound imaging and subsequent spectral analysis techniques were applied to identify changes in the scaffold associated with tumor burden and tumor cell recruitment. Taken together\, this body of work supports that the implantable biomaterial scaffold technology provides a robust and novel approach for the early detection of metastatic disease in both breast and pancreatic cancer\, therapy to divert both pre-metastatic niche forming immune cells and tumor cells themselves to an ectopic site and away from solid organs\, and as a platform to study mechanisms of the pre-metastatic niche and metastasis.\n\nChair: Dr. Lonnie Shea

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? 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. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Biopsychology Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:The costs and benefits of cognitive control and motivation: the curious case of choking under pressure\n\n“Don’t overthink it!  Just do it!”  These phrases are commonly uttered to skilled individuals just before a performance.  Many people have the intuition that exerting too much control over well-learned actions can be harmful\, especially when under pressure to perform.  This effect can be demonstrated experimentally by manipulating participants’ attentional focus and/or inducing performance pressure via monetary incentives.  At the same time\, most day-to-day activities clearly benefit from goal-directed cognitive control and enhanced motivation. Further\, training regimes and coaching often make use of explicit\, reflective instruction to augment performance.  How do the mechanisms of cognitive control and motivation both support and potentially hamper the activity of neural systems needed for successful performance?  This question is explored in a variety of studies using functional neuroimaging\, non-invasive brain stimulation\, behavioral studies\, and computational modeling.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Chairman Mao’s Children and China’s Difficult Past: Generation\, Class\, and Memory
DESCRIPTION:In the 1960s and 1970s\, the Chinese government sent about 17 million secondary school graduates (the “educated youth” or “zhiqing”) to villages\, state farms\, and military corps\, to achieve some practical and ideological goals. The \"send-down\" program\, however\, failed dismally and had detrimental impacts on the zhiqing generation’s life courses. Despite its failure\, the zhiqing’s memory of their sent-down years is a mixture of grievance\, resentment\, self-congratulation\, nostalgia\, and heroism. Drawing on various data collected through interviews\, ethnography\, archival research\, and textual analysis (2013-2018)\, Professor Xu examines their memory to explore the mentality and political views of this generation of “Chairman Mao’s children\,” who have inherited the legacy of the Mao years and have to reconcile it with the sea changes in the post-Mao society\, and theorize the relations between generation\, class\, and memory. \n    \n   Bin Xu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Emory University. His research interests lie at the intersection of politics and culture. He is the author of \"The Politics of Compassion: The Sichuan Earthquake and Civic Engagement in China\" (Stanford University Press\, 2017)\, which has won two book awards from the American Sociological Association. His research has also appeared in leading sociological and China studies journals. He is currently writing a book and a few related articles on the collective memory of China’s “educated youth” (zhiqing) generation—the 17 million youths sent down to the countryside in the 1960s and 1970s.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Linocuts by Meredith Stern
DESCRIPTION:On December 10\, 1948\, in the aftermath of the devastation of World War II\, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a roadmap to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere. The complete Declaration is comprised of a Preamble and 30 Articles. In honor of the 60th anniversary of this document\, we are exhibiting 14 Articles in the form of illustrated prints by Meredith Stern. These contemporary prints are intended both to make people aware of this rights roadmap and to show its urgent relevance in our contemporary political moment.\n\nMeredith Stern is an artist currently based in Providence\, RI\, and a member of the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative\, a decentralized network of 30 artists committed to social\, environmental\, and political engagement. Stern created a total of 28 sets of these linocut prints in 2017\, of which one is held in the Joseph A. Labadie Collection in the Special Collections Research Center.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ChE Seminar Series: Neel Joshi
DESCRIPTION:Harvard University\nSchool of Engineering and Applied Sciences\nWyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering\n\nASTRACT\n\n\"Biologically fabricated materials composed of engineered biofilm matrix proteins\"\n\nThe intersection between synthetic biology and materials science is an under explored area with great potential to positively affect our daily lives\, with applications ranging from manufacturing to medicine. My group is interested in harnessing the biosynthetic potential of microbes\, not only as factories for the production of raw materials\, but as fabrication plants that can orchestrate the assembly of complex functional materials. We call this approach “biologically fabricated materials”\, a process whose goal is to genetically program microbes to assemble materials from protein-based building blocks without the need for time consuming and expensive purification protocols or specialized equipment. Accordingly\, we have developed Biofilm Integrated Nanofiber Display (BIND)\, which relies on the biologically directed assembly of biofilm matrix proteins of the curli system in E. coli. We demonstrate that bacterial cells can be programmed to synthesize a range of functional materials with straightforward genetic engineering techniques. The resulting materials are highly customizable and easy to fabricate\, and we are investigating their use for practical uses ranging from bioremediation to engineered therapeutic probiotics. \n\nBIO\nNeel Joshi is an Associate Professor of Biological Engineering at the Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and also a Core Faculty member at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. He completed his PhD at UC Berkeley in the lab of Matt Francis and a postdoc at Boston University in the lab of Mark Grinstaff before starting a position at Harvard. He is broadly interested in topics related to biologically inspired materials\, protein engineering\, self-assembly\, and biointerfaces. His group works at the intersection of biomaterials science and synthetic biology. Recent projects in the group have focused on repurposing bacterial biofilms and their matrix proteins for biotechnological and biomedical applications.

SUMMARY:Other:Chemistry Under Extreme Pressures
DESCRIPTION:                                                Pressure is a fundamental thermodynamic variable that spans roughly 50 orders of magnitude throughout the universe\, yet practically all of our chemical intuition is based upon results obtained near atmospheric conditions. At pressures on the order of millions of atmospheres—the kind found deep within our planet—elemental properties that we consider fundamental become categorically altered. For example\, atomic volumes drop sharply\, valence orbital energies can fall below those of core orbitals\, and electronegativities drift from their tabulated ambient pressure values. Even at relatively modest pressures of ~10\,000–100\,000 atm\, which are now readily accessible in the laboratory\, these effects can lead to surprising new chemical bonding\, structures\, and properties\, opening up a new frontier for chemical exploration. In this talk\, I will show how we have harnessed pressure to: (i) exert thermodynamic control to synthesize novel binary bismuth intermetallic compounds that are impossible to synthesize using traditional methods\; and (ii) determine chemically-pure structure–function correlations in jarosite\, a magnetically-frustrated mineral.                        \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nJames Walsh\, PhD (Northwestern University)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM/AMO Seminar | Single-particle Theory of Optical Scattering from Atomic Clusters
DESCRIPTION:We have recently demonstrated that a dense ensemble of two-level atoms driven by an electromagnetic field can be modelled by an effective single quantum system that has a time-varying decoherence rate [1].  This model compares very well to large-scale\, mean-field simulations of the Maxwell-Lindblad equations for a cluster of approximately 4000 atoms.  Our effective single particle theory provides a way to model optical interactions in clusters in which computational time can be reduced\, and also a model in which the underlying physical processes involved in the system's evolution are much easier to understand.   We use this theory to provide an explanation for the results of scattering experiments [2]\, in which high-intensity\, short-duration\, electromagnetic pulses were scattered off dielectric liquids such as water and carbon tetrachloride\, and produced depolarized emission patterns.\n\n[1] C.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Private Equity \"Bake-Off\" Competition
DESCRIPTION:Nine University of Michigan student teams will square off against each other during the annual private equity “battle of the pitches\,” held by the Center for Venture Capital and Private Equity Finance\, or CVP\, at the Ross School of Business. \nOnly two teams will advance to the “Bake-off” semifinals\, where they will have a shot at winning this year’s Alan Gelband Private Equity Award and $10\,000 in prize money. \nThe event will be held in the Ross School’s Blau Colloquium\, beginning at 4 p.m.\, and is open to members and friends of the U-M student\, faculty and alumni community.\n\nThe 11th annual Private Equity “Bake-off” competition serves as the capstone event for MBA and U-M graduate students enrolled in Professor David J. Brophy’s Private Equity Finance course. \nFor this highly anticipated interclass challenge\, each student team will present a detailed proposal for a private-equity takeover of an existing public company. A panel of judges composed of private equity investors and investment practitioners will rank the nine teams by the quality\, comprehensiveness and attractiveness (in terms of projected return on investment) of their public-to-private buyout pitches. Then the judges will narrow the competitive field to two semi-finalists. \nDuring the “Bake-off\,” the Blau Colloquium audience of students\, alumni and sponsors will cast popular votes for the semifinalist team with the best buyout pitch. The winner will receive the Alan Gelband Private Equity Award and take home $7\,500 in prize money. The runner-up will receive $2\,500.\n“Alan Gelband\, an alum and great friend of U-M Ross\, joins us in facilitating student access to opportunities in the private equity and alternative investment field\,” Professor Brophy says. “Graduates of this and other Center for Venture Capital and Private Equity Finance (CVP) courses and competitions are now private equity fund leaders globally and providing continued support for our programs and conferences.” \nAt the beginning of the fall term\, Professor Brophy assigned the nine student teams to select and evaluate a middle-market public company for a possible “model” private-equity acquisition. The students used publicly available financial records to assess the company’s management\, revenue\, profits and market position\, and subsequently to project the estimated return on investment for private equity investors. Based on this extensive information gathering and financial analysis\, each team formulated a buyout pitch for the target company it had chosen.\nAlan Gelband\, BBA ’65\, MBA ’67\, the benefactor for the annual Private Equity Award\, says the public-to-private buyout competition serves both as a learning tool for students and a talent pipeline for the PE industry. \n“This is an important exercise for anyone who wants to get into private equity\, which is a leader of business evolution today\,” says Gelband\, the founder and managing director at Gelband & Co. investment banking.\nOther Ross and CVP alumni and regional private equity investors who volunteer as judges also play a formative role during the annual Bake-off competition by providing constructive feedback on the teams’ buyout pitches and suggesting ways to strengthen their written and oral presentations. This year’s roster of 12 judges includes investors from regional and national private equity firms.

SUMMARY:Performance:University Philharmonia Orchestra & University Choir
DESCRIPTION:Oriol Sans\, conductor. \n\nThe UPO performs Jean Sibelius’s Symphony No. 5\, probably the composer’s most affirmative musical utterance. The famous “Swan Hymn\,” a theme inspired by the vision of 16 swans taking off over the water\, pervades the last movement and culminates in a triumphal and unexpected ending. The symphony will conclude the evening’s concert with the University Choir performing Claude Debussy’s Nocturnes in the composer’s own revision that only increased its enchantingly foggy and delicate character. The program opens with Beethoven’s fourth and final attempt at an overture for his only opera\, Fidelio. \n\nPROGRAM: Beethoven- Fidelio Overture\; Debussy-Nocturnes\; Sibelius- Symphony No. 5
