Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728328@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190325T213843 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190329T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190329T140000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Critical Visualities 3 DESCRIPTION:The Visual Culture Workshop (VCW) convenes the third annual Critical Visualities Conference in order to ask the timely questions: “What are the political dimensions of the affective charge between art and its audience? Between the critic and the art she engages? How does it feel to look ‘critically’ now?” \n\nNow in its third year\, Critical Visualities has grown into a major national conference\, drawing top faculty from across the country in the fields of American studies\, African American studies\, visual culture studies\, performance studies\, media studies\, and literary studies. Designed to offer the University of Michigan community an unparalleled opportunity to engage with these scholars in an unusually intimate setting\, Critical Visualities incites new insights\, new questions\, and new collaborations for presenters and audience members alike.\n\nAs always\, Critical Visualities is particularly attune to the ways in which our interdisciplinary work enables us to engage with current events marked by feelings of shock and urgency about ongoing racial injustice and gendered violence.\n\nSpeakers include: Sarah Bay-Cheng (Bowdoin)\; Kimberly Juanita Brown (Mt.

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.

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.

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.

With the increasing convergence among measurement science\, big data analytics\, Industrial Internet of Things\, and system miniaturization\, advanced sensing methods has continually pushed the envelope of smart manufacturing. New sensors not only acquire higher resolution data at faster rates\, but also provide local computation for autonomously analyzing the acquired data towards intelligent decision support.\n\nThis talk highlights research on multi-physics sensing methods for improved observability in manufacturing process monitoring\, using polymer injection molding as an example. The design\, characterization\, and realization of a multivariate sensor with acoustic-based data transmission capability for data transmission in a RF-shielded environment\, together with advanced computational methods\, are described. Experiments performed on a production grade injection molding machine demonstrate that a single multivariate sensor can outperform multiple commercial sensors in predicting the quality attributes of injection molded parts. The talk highlights the significance of integrating physics-based sensing with data analytics for advancing the science base and state-of-the-technology to fully realize the potential of smart manufacturing.\n\nBio\nRobert Gao is the Cady Staley Professor of Engineering and Department Chair of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland\, Ohio. Since receiving his Ph.D. degree from the Technical University of Berlin\, Germany in 1991\, he has been working on physics-based sensing methods\, design\, modeling\, and characterization of instrument systems\, stochastic modeling and machine learning techniques for improving the observability of dynamical systems such as manufacturing equipment and processes. The goal of his research is to better understand the physical mechanisms underlying the manufacturing processes and equipment performance degradation\, to ultimately improve process and product quality control.\n\nProf. Gao is a Fellow of the ASME\, IEEE\, SME\, and CIRP (International Academy for Production Engineering)\, and an elected member of the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering.

Neither Mahāyāna Nor Theravāda: Ashin Jinarakkhita and the Indonesian Buddhayāna Movement DESCRIPTION:Widely regarded as the first Indonesian-born Buddhist monk (biksu pertama putra Indonesia)\, Ashin Jinarakkhita took it as his mission to propagate Buddhism in the archipelago nation. His Buddhayāna movement\, which combined the doctrines and practices of Mahāyāna and Theravāda Buddhism\, had a profound impact in Indonesia during the second half of the twentieth century. Ashin Jinarakkhita established an inclusive and nonsectarian monastic community\, consisting of Sangha from various Buddhist traditions. He crafted a vision of Indonesian Buddhism as a diverse\, yet unified religion in line with the motto of “Unity in Diversity” (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika) of the modern Indonesian nation. Later\, he introduced the concept of “Sang Hyang Adi-Buddha” to make Buddhism compatible with the first principle of the Pancasila\, the five philosophical pillars of Indonesia during the New Order era (1966–98). The Buddhayāna movement continues to attract a following of Indonesian people in the twenty-first century. \n \n This presentation draws upon Ashin Jinarakkhita’s career to reconsider the category of Southeast Asian Buddhism in Buddhist Studies. I argue for the need to broaden the category of Southeast Asian Buddhism beyond Theravāda Buddhism on mainland Southeast Asia to include varied forms of Buddhism in maritime Southeast Asia that use Mandarin Chinese\, Southern Chinese dialects\, and Southeast Asian languages in their liturgy and scriptures. Ashin Jinarakkhita’s Buddhayāna movement\, which promoted nonsectarian doctrines and practices to be in line with the national discourse of “Unity in Diversity\,” was a calculated strategy to ensure the survival of Buddhism as a minority religion in the world’s largest Muslim nation. \n \n Jack Meng-Tat Chia is a Senior Tutor in the Department of History at the National University of Singapore and currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Buddhist Studies\, University of California\, Berkeley. His research focuses on Buddhism in maritime Southeast Asia\, Chinese popular religion\, overseas Chinese history\, and Southeast Asia-China interactions. He is currently completing his first book manuscript titled “Monks in Motion: Buddhism and Modernity across the South China Sea\,” which explores the history of Buddhism in inter-Asian contexts and the intersections between national and Buddhist institutional projects in Indonesia\, Malaysia\, and Singapore. Chia is co-editor of Living with Myths in Singapore (2017) and has published articles in journals such as Archiv Orientální\, Asian Ethnology\, China Quarterly\, History of Religions\, Journal of Chinese Religions\, Material Religion\, and Sojourn. His next book project\, “Beyond the Borobudur: Buddhism in Postcolonial Indonesia\,” focuses on the history and development of Buddhism in the world’s largest Muslim country since 1945. \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.

In addition to facilitating a conversation about the lives of migrants\, our panelists will also discuss the important roles of history\, storytelling\, art\, and film in the telling and (re) presentation of nuanced information about America’s current border crisis. Of particular interest is how the panelists seek to tell new and impactful stories about about a social process that has a deep history and often overdetermined by simplistic tropes such as the “noble migrant” and “foreign invader.” \n\nModerator: DANIEL NEMSER\, Romance Languages and Literatures\n\nPanelists: JASON DE LEÓN\, Anthropology\, Director of Hostile Terrain Exhibition\; LUCY CAHILL\, Curator of Hostile Terrain Exhibition\; RAÚL O.

Murman\, NASA Ames Research Center \nDr. Marian Nemec\, NASA Ames Research Center\n\nAbstract:\nComputational fluid dynamics (CFD) has joined the wind tunnel and flight test as a critical aircraft design tool. However\, despite decades of development and its prevalent use in industry\, CFD is still not yet mature. Indeed\, the question on whether a mesh is sufficiently fine or is of good enough quality to achieve the desired accuracy and robustness remains difficult to answer to this day. The root of the problem is the reliance on user’s experience to determine the regions where mesh resolution is necessary\, a task that is not trivial. This dissertation aims to tackle this problem.\n\nGiven a discretization method and an output (e.g.\, lift or drag)\, our algorithm places the element’s vertices and high-order nodes in a fully-automated manner. A Riemannian metric field is used to encode the element’s shape and size and to combine several adaptation methods. The mesh is generated in two stages: 1) generate a linear\, metric-conforming mesh\, and 2) solve an optimization problem to incorporate the high-order information. Unlike the current meshing practice\, the high-order nodes can be clustered as long as the element remains valid. With only marginal increase in computational cost and no additional software complexities\, the final mesh reduces error by at least a factor of two.

In various difference-in-difference style specifications\, we compare regions that were highly and less exposed and find that the employment effect of the minimum wage was limited\; its main consequence was pushing up wages. We also show that individuals at the bottom of the wage distribution did keep their jobs and experienced a wage gain. However\, the lack of employment responses masks large structural shifts in the economy. We show that in response to the minimum wage\, small firms shut down\, while large firms expanded their employment. The minimum wage increased mobility to small\, low paying firms to large\, high paying firms. These pieces of evidence underline the importance of reallocation in understanding the effects of minimum wage.\" UID:59480-14745548@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59480 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 201 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181219T142633 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190329T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190329T140000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Phondi Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Phondi is a discussion and research group for students and faculty at U-M and nearby universities who have interests in phonetics and phonology.

In particular\, upper-limb amputations means losing the ability to do many daily activities that are normally simple with intact hands. Prosthesis technology has significantly advanced in the past decade to replicate the mechanical complexity of the human hand. However\, current commercial user-to-prosthesis interfaces fail to provide users with full intuitive control over the many functionalities advanced prosthetic hands can offer. Research in developing new interfaces for better motor control has been on the rise\, focusing on tapping directly into the peripheral nervous system. The aim of this work is to characterize and validate the properties of a novel peripheral interface called the Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface (RPNI) to improve fine motor skills for prosthetic hand control.\n\nThe first study characterizes the use of RPNI signals for continuous hand control in non-human primates. In two rhesus macaques\, we were able to reconstruct continuous finger movement offline with an average correlation of ρ = 0.87 and root mean squared error (RMSE) of 0.12 between actual and predicted position across both macaques. During real-time control\, neural control performance was slightly slower but maintained an average target hit success rate of 96.70% compared to physical hand control. The results presented in this study demonstrate an important step in exploring the RPNI’s potential capabilities to provide patients with more naturalistic control of their prosthetic limbs.\n\nThe second study presents the viability of the RPNI in humans who have suffered from upper-limb amputations. In three participants with transradial amputations\, ultrasound demonstrated strong contractions of P1 and P2’s median RPNIs during flexion of the phantom thumb\, and ulnar RPNI contractions during small finger flexion. In P1\, the median RPNI and ulnar RPNIs produced signals with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 4.62 and 3.80\, respectively. In P2\, the median RPNI and ulnar RPNI had an average SNR of 107 and 35.9\, respectively\, while P3’s median RPNI and ulnar RPNIs had an average SNR of 22.3 and 19.4\, respectively. This study provides evidence that the transected peripheral nerves have reinnervated the RPNI muscle grafts allowing RPNIs to transduce and amplify efferent motor action potentials during volitional individual finger movements.\n\nThe final study characterizes the capabilities of RPNI signals to predict continuous finger position in human subjects. Two participants\, P2 and P3\, successfully hit targets during a center-out target task with 92.4 ± 2.3% accuracy\, controlling RPNI-driven one DOF finger movements. Comparably\, non-RPNI driven finger movement had similar accuracy and performance. Without recalibrating parameter coefficients\, no decreasing trend in motor performance was seen for all one DOF finger control across 300 days for P2 and 40 days for P3\, suggesting that RPNIs can generate robust control signals from day to day. Lastly\, using RPNI-driven control\, P2 and P3 successfully manipulated a two DOF virtual and physical thumb with 96.4 ± 2.5% accuracy. This study demonstrates that RPNIs are capable of robust continuous control of one DOF finger movements and also capable of providing two DOF thumb movements. RPNIs may be a viable option to advance peripheral nerve interfaces into clinical reality and enhance neuroprosthetic technology for people with limb loss.\n\n Chair: Cynthia Chestek UID:62286-15344248@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62286 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Lurie Robert H.

Using a variety of methodologies\, my research has uncovered is that many cultural differences reflect a simple\, but often invisible distinction: The strength of social norms. Tight cultures have strong social norms and little tolerance for deviance\, while loose cultures have weak social norms and are highly permissive. The tightness or looseness of social norms turns out to be a Rosetta Stone for human groups. It illuminates similar patterns of difference across nations\, states\, organizations\, and social class\, and the template also explains differences among traditional societies. It’s also a global fault line: conflicts we encounter can spring from the structural stress of tight-loose tension\, and our data show that they have important implications for success in international mergers & acquisitions and expatriate adjustment\, and can also help to explain some of today’s most puzzling political trends and events. An understanding of this template can help us develop more empathy and to bridge out cultural divides.

However\, this approach neglects the journey of the keypress\, which starts while participants are waiting for a trial to begin\, progresses after a stimulus appears\, and ends with an actual response. In this talk\, I will introduce a new approach for measuring the journey of the keypress\, which employs force-sensitive keyboards similar to those used by video gamers. As an example\, I will show how using such keyboards\, which can detect changes in mass smaller than one gram at 200 Hz\, has allowed me to distinguish between competing accounts of cognitive control. I will also discuss how such keyboards can be used to explore other psychological processes.

The field of LCA is evolving to incorporate increased geographic specificity by utilizing GIS and satellite data and conducting site-specific analyses\, which has led to important conclusions for bioenergy and renewable energy systems. Dr. Fortier will cover how geographic data has been integrated into LCAs of various energy systems through her research. Methods were developed to incorporate land use and albedo change impacts into a geographically specific LCA of green gasoline from wastewater microalgae. The results of this geographically specific algal biofuel LCA demonstrate the importance of direct land use and albedo change impacts to the sustainability of algal green gasoline and how these effects vary widely by ecoregion in the United States. Substantial differences in geographically specific climate change impacts can also be observed at smaller resolutions\, as demonstrated through a willow biomass LCA performed by tax parcel and county in upstate New York. In this study\, the soil carbon change impacts and transportation differences by site affect the life cycle climate change impacts of willow biomass delivered to a bioenergy power plant. Most recently\, Dr. Fortier’s research group has completed the first study that shows how the carbon footprint of an ocean energy system changes based on the location installed. Although its importance has now been demonstrated for bioenergy LCAs\, geographically specific methodology is novel to LCAs of mechanical energy systems like tidal turbines. The results of this geographic LCA indicate that even in some sites that were identified as “hotspots” for tidal energy deployment on US coasts\, electricity from tidal turbines can have higher life cycle greenhouse gas emissions than electricity from natural gas (500 g CO2eq/kWh) and coal power plants (1000 g CO2eq/kWh) due to low electricity generation over the tidal turbine lifetime relative to the emissions arising from the production of the infrastructure and materials. As we improve the geographic specificity of LCA\, our collective understanding of how the sustainability of bioenergy and renewable energy systems changes by location also improves and allows for the siting of new systems that optimize a reduction in life cycle climate change impacts.\n\nBRIEF BIO:\nDr. Marie-Odile Fortier is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California\, Merced. From 2015 to 2018\, she was an Assistant Professor at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF) in the Department of Forest and Natural Resources Management\, contributing to the Sustainable Energy Management program. She has a PhD in Environmental Engineering from the University of Kansas (2015) and a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering and Sciences from the University of Florida (2010). She was awarded the college-wide 2017 Distinguished Teaching Award at SUNY ESF. Dr. Fortier’s research focuses on the geographically specific life cycle environmental impacts of sustainable energy systems\, including land use change and albedo change impacts. She uses life cycle assessment\, GIS\, and mathematical modeling to investigate whether the carbon footprint of different energy systems varies spatially and she develops new methodology to increase applications of life cycle assessment to sustainable energy planning.

This lack of focus leads to much noise\, which reduces the understanding by the audience. Much of the problem arises from speakers following PowerPoint’s defaults and building their talks on phrase headlines supported by bulleted lists. This seminar presents the assertion-evidence approach (http://www.assertion-evidence.com) to designing research presentations. In this approach\, the speaker builds the talk on key messages supported by visual evidence. Our research has found that assertion-evidence talks are more focused and much better understood by audiences. In addition\, our speakers (even those initially nervous about making presentations) report that using the assertion-evidence approach has given them more confidence. Before this seminar\, participants are encouraged to download a template from http://www.assertion-evidence.com/templates.html and create a couple of slides for their next research presentation. Participants are also encouraged to view the following model research presentations by graduate students.\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\nHolding a master of science in electrical engineering and a master of fine arts in writing\, Michael Alley is an associate teaching professor of engineering communication at Penn State. He is the author of The Craft of Scientific Presentations (Springer\, 2013)\, which has been translated to Japanese and Chinese\, and The Craft of Scientific Writing (Springer\, 2018).

The firm faces a basic tradeoff between fostering collaboration among its employees and efficiently adapting its decisions to its circumstances. If the firm commits to choosing the project which is most profitable ex-post\, it undermines its employees’ motive to collaborate\, causing ex-ante inefficiency. We solve for the firm’s optimal policy. It entails an early phase of intense competition\, followed by a permanent regime of collaboration. In service to ex-ante optimality\, arbitrarily severe ex-post inefficiencies must be tolerated.\n\n(joint with Joyee Deb and Aditya Kuvalekar) UID:58623-14520007@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58623 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 301 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190326T081356 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190329T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190329T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ancient Philosophy: Mariska Leunissen (UNC Chapel Hill) DESCRIPTION:For Aristotle\, every scientific investigation starts with the collection and organization of facts: only once we have established the 'hotis' - the 'thats' - of any given scientific domain\, we can then proceed to investigate their causes and provide explanations or demonstrations of those facts. The fact collecting stage in Aristotle's natural sciences is thoroughly empirical: Aristotle stresses the importance of acquiring observational experience\, of observing phenomena for the sake of knowledge\, and of giving credence to observations over theory in cases where the facts have not yet been sufficiently grasped. My aim in this paper is to reconstruct and critically discuss (1) Aristotle's strategies for establishing facts in his natural sciences in those cases where observations are altogether lacking or insufficient to determine with any certainty whether the facts are such or so (e.g. 'whether the universe is spherical or lentil-shaped' in his cosmology\, or 'whether the gestation period of elephants is one years or two years long' in his biology) and (2) also his strategies for evaluating putative empirical facts as reported by others in those cases where Aristotle would not have been able to verify those facts himself through observation. I will argue that in empirically underdetermined domains\, Aristotle's epistemic goal in establishing facts is not knowledge but credence\, and that he relies heavily on circumstantial empirical evidence\; on arguments based on 'what can reasonably be expected to be the case'\, given observations of other\, related phenomena\; and on ingenious methods of 'weighing' the evidential force of competing sets of inconclusive observations in an attempt to establish and evaluate natural facts in a scientific way.

It is written from the perspective of Palestinians who were able to remain on their land in what became Israel in 1948. Habiby highlights a number of reunions that take place in this period\, when some Palestinian refugees are able to visit relatives from whom they have been separated for nearly 20 years\, and cities and towns from which were expelled. While these brief and incomplete reunions take place in the shadow of catastrophic circumstances\, they nonetheless provide an occasion to take stock of physical\, psychological\, and spiritual damage\, and to assess any hopes of repair. In this short presentation\, I will discuss my translation of Habiby’s collection (a work in progress) and propose a theoretical framework for understanding the impact of national displacement on modes of storytelling. Habiby’s style offers readers a close look at the ways his characters experience the sensations of everyday life amid national trauma. The striking dialogism at play within the text is not only indicative of rifts in individual psyches\, but also of the utterance’s inherent inclination toward others.\n\n\nProf. Christopher Hill\, \"Toward a Chronogeography of the Naturalist Novel\"\nIn the decades after the variety of literary realism known as naturalism emerged in France in the 1860s\, in the work of Emile Zola and the Goncourt brothers\, it was widely adopted by writers around the world. By the turn of the twentieth century self-described naturalists were working from the Americas to East Asia. As it traveled\, the topics\, themes\, and techniques of naturalist fiction changed in ways that could not have been predicted from its origins. Current paradigms for explaining literary history on a large scale rely on categories derived from the literary history of a handful of European countries and are unable to treat works that differ from the categorical norms as anything but deviations. My talk uses examples from the history of the naturalist novel to propose alternative approaches to large-scale literary history.

Many concepts like energy landscapes\, free energy\, and phase transitions can be usefully carried over from physics to machine learning and computer science. At the very least\, these techniques are a source of conjectures that have stimulated new work in probability\, combinatorics\, and theoretical computer science. At their best\, they offer strong intuitions about the structure of inference problems and possible algorithms for them.\n\nOne recent success of this interface is the discovery of a phase transition in community detection in sparse graphs. Analogous transitions exist in many other inference problems\, where our ability to find patterns in data jumps suddenly as a function of how noisy they are. I will discuss why and how this detectability transition occurs\, review what is known rigorously\, and present a number of open questions that cry out for proofs.

Unfortunately\, groundwater supplies are not alone in being threatened by native contaminations.  Often correlating with groundwater contamination is a second major threat from naturally occurring contaminants\, and particularly arsenic:  Food production.  Of the major cereal crops\, rice is uniquely susceptible to reductions in yield and grain quality resulting from soil-borne arsenic.  Further exacerbating the impacts of arsenic on rice production are temperature increases that both induce plant stresses and enhance soil microbial activity.  The combined impacts of projected temperatures for the year 2100 coupled with soil arsenic endemic to the major rice growing regions of Asia lead to a yield reduction exceeding 40% compared to current conditions.  Further\, at any soil arsenic concentrations\, inorganic grain arsenic levels double for every 5 C change in temperature.  In order to sustain future grain production\, rice varieties and soil management practices will need to evolve rapidly to minimize the arsenic-temperature impacts.

The availability of low-cost natural gas\, the Fukushima nuclear accident\, and the cancellation of the AP1000 V.C. Summer project has caused a considerable role in ending the short-lived “Nuclear Renaissance.” Historically\, the nuclear industry has focused on direct cost reduction through construction\, increasing installed capacity\, and improving efficiencies to capacity factors in the 1990s and 2000s as a strategy to maintain competitiveness against other forms of energy generation. With renewables serving as an emerging low-carbon competitor\, an added focus needs to be placed on indirect methods to increase the competitiveness of nuclear power and examining the risk associated with widespread deployment.\n\nIn this talk I will present two papers that explores the different pathways nuclear power can be competitive with other forms of electricity generation given its advantages environmentally and through improved safety. The first paper utilizes a life cycle assessment model to estimate the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)\, Generation II\, and Generation III+ nuclear power plants. The second paper focuses risk associated with deployment of SMRs and estimating environmental dose exposure in a post-accident scenario to support scalable emergency planning zones (EPZs). This study includes calculating radionuclide inventory\; estimating the impact decontamination factors from the AP1000\, NUREG-6189\, and EPRI’s Experimental Verification of Post-Accident iPWR Aerosol Behavior test will have on radioactivity within containment\; and estimate dose exposure using atmospheric dispersion models. Finally\, I will continue with the theme of examining risk associated with deployment by touching on some current work where I am quantify the nuclear proliferation risks associated with the introduction of Generation III+ and IV nuclear power plants sourced from Chinese and Russian-based vendors to emerging markets using expert elicitation and Bayesian Belief Networks.\n\nBio: Travis Carless is a Stanton Nuclear Security Postdoctoral Fellow at the RAND Corporation and a President’s Postdoctoral Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University.

They were among a wave of artists in different disciplines who explored alternatives to stable\, unified\, and repeatable artworks and performances. Piekut intends to survey this shared impulse and its relationship with improvisational modes of creative practice\, and to develop the notion of a “fetter of improvisation” that emerges in these years\, seemingly to compensate for the loss of repeatable works. In addition to the uncertainties of ever-changing artworks\, he will show\, artists of the late 1960s faced novel problematics of shared authorship.

Alcina debuted at the Covent Garden Theatre in London in 1735 to great acclaim. Just a few of the exquisite arias are the famous “Tornami a vagheggiar\,” “Verdi prati\,” and “Ah\, mio cor.” Today\, the opera is considered to be one of the composer’s greatest. A moving story of love’s fickleness and faithfulness\, Alcina features some of Handel’s most alluring music.
