Histotripsy systems are\, traditionally\, transmit-only systems incapable of receiving ultrasound. For guidance\, an ultrasound imaging probe is placed in the center of a histotripsy array. On B-mode ultrasound imaging\, the region of tissue destruction appears as a hypoechoic zone after a substantial amount of treatment has occurred. However\, this level of histotripsy feedback is insufficient for several reasons. First\, histotripsy treatments occur in a 3D space\, yet B-mode imaging is 2D. While 3D ultrasound imaging exists\, the large footprint of 3D probes would occupy a substantial portion of the acoustic window for therapy. Second\, histotripsy-treated lesions only appear hypoechoic on B-mode after a substantial amount of treatment has occurred resulting in poor sensitivity. Developing receive-capable histotripsy arrays would enable a multitude of feedback mechanisms. The overall objective of this dissertation is to develop receive-capable histotripsy systems and new feedback mechanisms enabled by this technology that improve histotripsy treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.\n\nIn the first part of this dissertation\, the technical details associated with the development of receive-capable histotripsy systems are discussed. First\, the challenges of designing highly-parallelized data acquisition systems that are capable of operating over a high dynamic range are outlined and solutions are proposed. Next\, the various stages of prototypes that were developed are explored. Finally\, two fully-functional receive-capable histotripsy systems are described in detail: a retrofit system that can enable receive-capability for any existing histotripsy system\, and a new histotripsy system that incorporates receiver electronics in with high-voltage drivers. \n\nIn the second part of this dissertation\, several feedback methods for monitoring the extent and progression of histotripsy treatment are discussed. In particular\, a new feedback method is investigated\, which uses the cavitation collapse time to monitor tissue damage. Upon initiation of a histotripsy bubble cloud\, a series of shockwaves are emitted during its initial expansion. Once the bubble cloud expands to a maximum radius\, it begins to collapse inward on itself\, and\, during the final stage of collapse\, another shockwave is released. Using a receive-capable histotripsy array\, these shockwaves can be acquired thus allowing for a measurement of the overall lifespan of the bubble cloud. This acoustic measurement is optically validated using a high-speed camera. It was found that this lifespan\, defined by the cavitation collapse time\, correlates directly with the extent of histotripsy treatment. Ex vivo bovine liver samples were treated\, and it was found that the change in collapse time directly correlates with hepatocyte destruction.\n\nIn the final part of this dissertation\, a receive-capable histotripsy system was used to implement acoustic aberration correction. Natural heterogeneities of tissue can result in upwards of 10% variation of sound speed throughout the acoustic path of propagation for histotripsy. These sound speed variations result in acoustic aberrations that significantly defocus histotripsy pulses through phase aberration and result in lowered focal pressure and treatment efficacy in vivo. By using a receive-capable histotripsy system to acquire the expansion shockwave construct from the initial expansion of the histotripsy bubble cloud\, time reversal acoustics was implemented to correct for these acoustic aberrations and refocus subsequent histotripsy pulses. Using this method\, over 20% of lost pressure due to phase aberration is recovered\, and the histotripsy system power required to induce cavitation was reduced by approximately 31.5%. \n\nChair: Zhen Xu UID:62025-15276099@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62025 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical engineering,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Lurie Robert H.

His family settled in Grand Rapids\, Michigan after stays in both Japan and Iowa. After attending various universities around Michigan\, John took an education hiatus to work in a cannery in Alaska. It was there that he found his calling in the pages of American Craft while scouring the tables of free magazines at the Anchorage Public Library. He received his BFA (Furniture Design) from Northern Michigan University in 1996 and his MFA (Furniture Design) from Rhode Island School of Design in 2000. John teaches in the School of Art and Design at Eastern Michigan University. John has recently exhibited work at the Muskegon Museum of Art\, the Midland Center for the Arts\, the Grand Rapids Art Museum\, and the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum. He lives in Ann Arbor and maintains a studio in his home.\n\n<<>><<>><<>> Householdments <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>\nWhile I don’t literally remember my earliest childhood years in Japan where I was born\, I have over my lifetime\, stitched together memories based on home movies\, family photos\, and images from my imagination. I “remember” the aesthetics of the place - objects and environments carefully made in wood\, stone\, and steel. Without necessarily conscious of it at the time\, I was dimly aware of Japanese visual composition. Things around me held an inherent logic and beauty\, a perfection made possible by keen tools\, quality materials\, and proficient makers. This three-part integration was embedded early on and continues to affect my own ongoing pursuit in object making.\n\nWhile finding my way as a young maker\, I realized where I belonged mostly because of how various studios smelled. The ceramics studio was musty and dirty\, the metals studio was acrid and smoky\, but the wood studio had an earthy aroma. My kind of place. The tools immediately felt right as well. Chisels\, planes\, and knives when sharpened properly could manipulate the material in ways I never expected. While I was clearly not a natural talent\, I quickly realized that a little bit of tenacity goes a long way. I also realized that I loved the logic for how wood parts can fit together. To build a wooden object or a piece of furniture each part depends on the fit of others. I deeply appreciate this fitting togetherness – how doors fit\, how drawers fit\, how joints fit\, how hinges fit. It all makes sense\, and this sensibility carries through to what I’m doing today.\n\nWorking in wood typically requires a high degree of planning before actual construction\, and over time I realized I craved the ability to work with more spontaneity. The work in this show reflects my wish to keep the working process a bit more flexible and intuitive.\n\nWhen starting with a sketch that I believe has potential\, I now begin to build directly\, without drawings or maquettes. I’ll constantly assess what has been built and allow myself to alter it\, continue with it\, or get rid of it and start over. I’m more interested in seeing where this process takes me than I am in finishing something precisely as planned. This results in some playfulness and whimsy that I hope is reflected in this work.\n\nThe word Householdments is an old and obscure term without modern usage that refers to furniture or things we keep in our houses. It strikes me as an odd word but well fitted to describe the objects in this exhibit. The pieces in this show are a collection of my personal householdments.

Audiences have gone to the movies to laugh since Thomas Edison first invented the motion picture. What is it about comedy that people want to be together to share the experience? How did comedy evolve from the silent era to “talkies” and what are the challenges facing theatrical comedy for the future?\n\nThis is the fifth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Humor\, Comedy\, and Laughter in Everyday Life and Beyond. The next lecture will be March 28\, 2019. The subject is: Sounds Funny: Humor and American Music.

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908142@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190221T121546 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190321T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190321T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:2019 MFA Thesis Exhibition DESCRIPTION:The MFA Thesis exhibition will bring together culminating projects by second-year graduate students: Masimba Hwati\, Laura Magnusson\, Bridget Quinn\, Rowan Renee\, and Mayela Rodriguez.

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.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nUric acid (UA)\, the final metabolic breakdown of purine nucleotides in the primates including humans\, presents a paradox that may best be understood as an evolutionary mismatch. Whereas it is known as a substantial risk for gout and cardiovascular malfunctioning\, it also serves as a major agent that de-oxidizes the brain. We may therefore hypothesize that UA increases when vigorous actions including culturally sanctioned behaviors are carried out. Through this effect\, UA may facilitate such behaviors\, leading to psychological and social benefits. These benefits of UA may\, in turn\, could override its cost in the health domains. In this talk\, I will outline this hypothesis\, and provide initial evidence for it with data from Japanese adults.

Previously\, NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory confirmed this issue from a 3-km model (HRRR – High-Resolution Rapid Refresh) for short-range forecasting including sub-grid-scale cloud representation up to 30-60-km medium-range and subseasonal global model (using FV3-GFS)\, all testing a common suite of scale-aware physical parameterizations. Some progress has been made in 2018 to substantially reduce cloud deficiency and excessive downward solar radiation at least over land areas\, especially for short-range prediction for which related model and assimilation changes are critical for forecast applications to energy\, aviation\, and severe weather. The process of investigating a wide range of potential deficiencies in a numerical weather prediction system will be described.

Senesky\, Assistant Professor\, Stanford University\n\nGallium nitride (GaN) nanoelectronics have operated at temperatures as high as 1000°C making it a viable platform for robust space-grade (“tiny-but-tough”) electronics and nano-satellites. In addition\, there has been a tremendous amount of research and industrial investment in GaN as it is positioned to replace silicon in the billion-dollar (USD) power electronics industry\, as well as the post-Moore microelectronics universe. Furthermore\, the 2014 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded for pioneering research in GaN that led to the realization of the energy-efficient blue light-emitting diode (LED). Even with these major technological breakthroughs\, we have just begun the “GaN revolution.” New communities are adopting this nanoelectronic platform for a multitude of emerging device applications including the following: sensing\, energy harvesting\, actuation\, and communication. In this talk\, we will review and discuss the benefits of GaN’s two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) over silicon’s p-n junction for space exploration applications (e.g.\, radiation-hardened\, temperature-tolerant Venus probes). In addition\, we will discuss recent results that advance this nanoelectronic device platform for extreme-environment Internet-of-things (IoT) systems for combustion and down-hole monitoring. \n\nShort Bio:\nProf. Debbie G. Senesky is an Assistant Professor at Stanford University in the Aeronautics and Astronautics Department and by courtesy\, the Electrical Engineering Department. In addition\, she is the Principal Investigator of the EXtreme Environment Microsystems Laboratory (XLab).

However\, political motives may distort the allocation of governmental resources. Combining proprietary data on Ebola cases\, novel surveys\, and publicly available data on the government’s relief effort and post-outbreak Senatorial election\, I study the response of the Liberian government to the 2014 West Africa Ebola outbreak\, and the subsequent effects on citizens’ voting behavior and political perceptions.

Both spaces played a central role in each country’s socio-economic modernization in the 1900s-1920s. Both spaces of this shared transformation were abandoned in the 1960s through urbanization\, deindustrialization\, suburbanization\, white flight\, and urban renewal. With the progressive passing of lived memories\, archaeology must make increasingly important contributions in reconstructing the immigrant lifeworld of a century ago. By placing all of its archaeological resources into the idealized Classical period\, the Greek diaspora has not yet fully embraced its own archaeological potential as a vehicle of self-understanding. The lecture presents recent fieldwork in the Greek towns of Philadelphia\, Lancaster\, and Harrisburg and in the villages of the Peloponnese\, Phocis and Epeiros. It calls for a transnational perspective that provides comparative tools through which to address forced migration today.\n\nKostis Kourelis is an architectural historian who specializes in the archaeology of the Mediterranean from the medieval to the modern periods. He also investigates how medieval material culture has shaped modern notions of identity\, space and aesthetics particularly during the 1930s. His recent fieldwork has focused on the archaeology of the contemporary world\, labor\, housing\, and immigration. In Greece\, he directs archaeological surveys of deserted villages and refugee camps\; in the U.S.\, he directs projects on Philadelphia’s Greek town\, North Dakota’s man camps and Japanese internment camps. He is Associate Professor of Art History at Franklin & Marshall College.\n\nPublications include Houses of the Morea: Vernacular Architecture of the Northwest Peloponnesos (1205-1955)\, The Archaeology of Xenitia: Greek Immigration and Material Culture\, Punk Archaeology\, “Byzantium and the Avant-Garde: Excavations at Corinth\, 1920s-1930s\,” “‘If Space Remotely Matters: Camped in Greece’s Contingent Countryside\,” and “North Dakota Man Camp Project: The Archaeology of Home in Bakken Oil Fields.” UID:60069-14814837@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60069 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:European,History,immigration,International LOCATION:Angell Hall - 2175 Angell - Classics Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190319T075800 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190321T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190321T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geophysical imaging of bedrock weathering profiles: A case study in the Nepal Himalayas DESCRIPTION:This seminar will include two shorter presentations\; Mr. William Medwedeff will talk on “Geophysical imaging of bedrock weathering profiles: A case study in the Nepal Himalayas\,” and Mr. Logan Knoper will give a presentation on “A temporal perspective on monsoon landslides in the Himalayas through high-resolution satellite imagery.

Calls to punish people living with HIV—mostly stigmatized minorities—began before doctors had even settled on a name for the disease. Punishing Disease looks at how HIV was transformed from sickness to badness under the criminal law and investigates the consequences of inflicting penalties on people living with disease. Now that the door to criminalizing sickness is open\, what other ailments will follow? With moves in state legislatures to extend HIV-specific criminal laws to include diseases such as hepatitis and meningitis\, the question is more than academic.\n\nTrevor Hoppe research analyzes the social control of sex by institutions of medicine\, law\, and public health. His recently published book\, Punishing Disease: HIV and the Criminalization of Sickness (University of California Press) analyzes the rise of punitive and coercive responses to HIV\; Punishing Disease was awarded the 2018 Lambda Literary Award in LGBTQ Studies. He is also the co-editor of the recently published collection\, The War on Sex (co-edited with David Halperin with Duke University Press)\, which analyzes the punitive social control of sex (and was a finalist for the 2018 Lambda Literary Award in LGBTQ Studies). In addition to these book projects\, Hoppe is also researching and publishing on the growth and impact of American sex offender registries\, particularly the use of “sexually violent predator” statutes that allow for the civil confinement of sex offenders beyond their court-ordered sentence.\n\nHe earned his PhD in Sociology and Women’s Studies from the University of Michigan in 2014 UID:57791-14306150@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57791 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:LGBT LOCATION:Lane Hall - 2239 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190405T123020 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190321T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190321T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:Just getting started building a resume?

Burns\, University of Ottawa DESCRIPTION:This paper examines the dynamic integration of words\, music\, and images in the extreme metal performance video of Dark Tranquillity’s ‘Uniformity’\, directed by Patric Ullaeus. Adopting a multimodal approach to the analysis\, I study the corporeal\, temporal\, and spatial dimensions across the three artistic domains of word\, music\, and image. The analytic framework responds to scholarly writings on multimodality from a range of perspectives. As the video spectator-listener engages with the interpretation of embodied subjectivity and cultural meaning in this video\, a number of questions can be posed about the multimodal expression: how does the performance video present physical bodies and materials\; how do these bodies move within space and time\; how do the elements of structure and design shape the performance\; how are the expressive strategies of the performers captured\; and what discursive values drive the artistic representations? \n\nLori Burns is professor of music at the University of Ottawa. Her work on popular music has been published in leading journals\, edited collections\, and in monograph form. Notable publications include Disruptive Divas: Feminism\, Identity and Popular Music (Routledge Press\, 2002)\, The Pop Palimpsest: Intertextuality and Recorded Popular Music (uMichigan Press\, 2019)\, co-edited with Serge Lacasse\, and the forthcoming Bloomsbury Handbook to Popular Music Video Analysis\, co-edited with Stan Hawkins. She is co-editor of the Ashgate Popular Music and Folk Series and her recent research project on genre in popular music video was supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (2013-2018).

His staging of Don Giovanni was cast\, costumed\, and presented to resemble a blaxploitation film\; his production of George Frideric Handel’s Orlando was set in outer space\; and his staging of Mozart’s Così Fan Tutte was set in a Cape Cod diner. His “post-racial” production of Othello\, starring John Ortiz in the title role and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Iago\, showed at New York City’s Public Theater to critical acclaim and larger cultural conversations about “blind casting.” Public programs surrounding his 2006 Lincoln Center production of Mozart’s unfinished opera Zaide focused on slavery past and present\, as well as an exploration of Mozart’s abolitionist perspectives. Sellars is the recipient of the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize and a professor at UCLA\, where he teaches art as social action and art as moral action.\n\nPresented in partnership with the Prison Creative Arts Program at U-M and the University Musical Society (UMS).

RAPID-Kosova is the first intensive\, systematic survey ever conducted in the Balkan Republic of Kosova\, and aims to document settlement and settlement change through time. During June of 2018\, we ran three survey teams in three zones covering 15.4 square kilometers in 1\,510 tracts. The 15 new sites we identified and the 3\,521 pieces of pottery we collected and analyzed indicate significant occupations in the region in all periods of the past. Perhaps the most important discovery was a large Bronze Age settlement\, called Pepaj\, located on the foot slopes below the Gradina hill fort near the village of Lubozhdë. Such “flat” Bronze Age sites are rare in the Balkans. Most late prehistoric sites are located on eroded hilltops with little remaining stratigraphy. Pepaj thus presents the opportunity to investigate an intact late prehistoric village of the type that must certainly have been in contact with villages in northern Albania. Ultimately\, we hope to gauge the importance of such contacts to the formation of complex societies in Kosova\, including as a result of trade with Greece and\, later\, Rome.\n\nThis lecture is sponsored by the Michigan Archaeological Society. \nTo learn more about the MAS\, please visit http://www.miarch.org/ \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this lecture\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) as soon as possible.
