Indeed\, prior to receiving a full undergraduate education\, even aspiring nuclear engineers may only be aware of a few applications and opportunities in the nuclear field. However\, the applications of and opportunities within nuclear science and technology go much further than power generation. For example\, the medical field has benefited greatly from advances in nuclear science and technology with nuclear-enabled tools for imaging\, cancer treatments\, and sterilization. Irradiating food offers protection from harmful microorganisms without compromising the quality of food. Nuclear science and technology provides tools to law enforcement and national security personnel to help identify threats and protect our communities. Of course\, nuclear power generation is a major focus in education\, research\, and industry\; and the successes and advances in this area are not to be overlooked.Professionals working in the nuclear industry often require skills and expertise beyond strictly nuclear science. Modeling and simulation analysts must learn and maintain computer coding skills. The nuclear power industry needs professionals that understand regulations in order to meet their strict requirements for safety. Additionally\, the nuclear power industry is looking to those with an entrepreneurial spirit to bring new technologies to fruition that promise increased performance at a lower cost. The finances of nuclear power plants are unique in the energy production sector and require those with economic expertise to plan for the continued\, financially successful operation of nuclear power plants.VCU has chosen to focus on the broad nature of nuclear science and technology with the theme “Nuclear is ________________.” Under this theme\, the conference will explore the many opportunities accustomed to students within the nuclear science and technology realm. The theme will also encompass the many supportive activities\, technologies\, and experts in varied fields of nuclear science and technology. Obvious examples of the application of the theme include: “Nuclear is thermal-hydraulics.” or “Nuclear is neutronics.” or “Nuclear is nonproliferation.” Other\, less obvious applications of the theme include: “Nuclear is cyber security.” or “Nuclear is health.” or “Nuclear is advocacy.” or “Nuclear is economics.”In addition\, this theme allows VCU to explore the subtle and ubiquitous impacts of nuclear science and technology. For example: “Nuclear is making toast.” One out of every five pieces of bread used in making toast is toasted using electricity generated from nuclear power plants. Another example would be “Nuclear is fresh herbs and spices.” Almost every jar of dried herbs or spices sold in the U.S. has been irradiated to preserve its flavor and maintain longer shelf-lives. Demonstrating the successful and safe day-to-day use of nuclear science and technology represents an important nuclear advocacy tool that we will highlight throughout the conference.Additionally\, the exciting new technologies that hold much promise for the nuclear industry will be represented by “Nuclear is entrepreneurship.” and “Nuclear is innovation.” Innovations in reactor designs\, medical applications\, and security tools will require those with the imagination and the business skills capable of launching new products and/or companies that fulfill the promise of an improved world. In contrast with the ubiquitous and mundane\, successes in innovation and entrepreneurship represent the exciting and inspiring aspects of nuclear science and technology that will energize those students in attendance.

However\, these techniques present several risks associated with device insertion and traditionally struggle to treat tumors greater than 3 cm in diameter. Thermally-based high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) are noninvasive but have been shown to cause significant collateral damage to adjacent healthy tissues and may require an excessively long treatment time. Thus\, there is an unmet need for a noninvasive ablation technique capable of treating large tumors rapidly and safely.\n\nHistotripsy is a completely extracorporeal\, non-thermal ultrasound ablation technique which uses high-amplitude\, short-duration\, focused acoustic pulses at low duty cycle to homogenize target-tissue into an acellular slurry by means of finely-controlled acoustic cavitation. Previous studies have demonstrated that histotripsy is capable of noninvasive tissue-ablation in vivo for a broad spectrum of applications. This dissertation investigated methods and systems toward the clinical translation of histotripsy for the treatment of large-volume tissue-targets. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was selected as a test-case to frame development efforts.\n\nIn the first part of this dissertation\, strategies for accelerating treatment based on electronic focal steering of a phased array histotripsy transducer were investigated. Research was centered around the management and manipulation of residual cavitation nuclei\, hundreds of which are dispersed throughout the focus following collapse of the cavitation bubble cloud produced by each histotripsy pulse and perturb subsequent de novo cavitation at the intended focus. A novel method in which low-gain regions of the therapy beam were utilized to drive the coalescence of residual nuclei via the secondary Bjerknes force was developed and validated. Results demonstrated 99.9% complete ablation of a 27-mL volume (equivalent to a sphere 3.7 cm in diameter) within 30 s.\n\nIn the second part of this dissertation\, compensation methods for respiratory motion of abdominal organs during histotripsy treatment were investigated. Like HIFU\, SBRT\, and several imaging modalities\, histotripsy is sensitive to the periodic respiratory motion of abdominal organs\, which oscillate with up to 4 cm peak-to-trough amplitude and at up to 3 cm/s during normal respiration. Without compensation for respiratory motion there is an elevated risk of under-treating target-tissue\, damaging adjacent healthy tissues and prolonging treatment. This part of the dissertation reviews existing methods for respiratory motion compensation\, explores the feasibility of integrating these methods with histotripsy therapy\, and presents a novel cavitation-based motion tracking technique. Using this technique\, residual cavitation nuclei were coalesced into a small bubble-system and used as an in situ fiducial marker which was tracked throughout a predefined trajectory by a histotripsy therapy system capable of receiving acoustic backscatter signals. Results demonstrated the feasibility of receiving acoustic signals from this fiducial cavitation bubble cloud throughout a 16-cm trajectory with a mean error of 0.7 ± 0.3 mm.\n\nIn the final part of the dissertation\, novel design and fabrication techniques were developed for a real-time-ultrasound-imaging guided\, highly steerable phased array histotripsy transducer for liver ablation featuring arbitrarily shaped\, densely\, packed\, and easily replaceable elements. High-powered transducers are the key enabling technology for histotripsy. Our lab has demonstrated the use of rapid prototyping methods for the fabrication of histotripsy arrays but these techniques have been limited to producing arrays with low packing density (~60%). The transducer design methods presented herein implemented a series of algorithms which analyzed human CT data to define the geometry of the array’s aperture\, divided the aperture into discrete\, nesting elements\, and simulated the electronic focal steering range of this aperture as a function of the number of elements into which it was divided. Novel fabrication methods facilitated a very small gap (0.5 mm) between active piezoelectric material which resulted in a packing density >90%. The design of the array is presented\, and the fabrication process and performance of individual elements are described. Simulation shows that this array is capable of electronically steering over a range sufficient to treat tissue-targets up to 3.6 cm in diameter in porcine or human subjects. \n\nChair: Zhen Xu UID:62571-15405810@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62571 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - 3358 A CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181230T093030 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190404T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190404T120000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Appearance DESCRIPTION:Beth Spencer will team up with Gina Thompson to explore issues related to reactions to changing appearance by women as they age.

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.

Phifer is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Chicago Divinity School. He has been a Unitarian Universalist minister for half a century and is minister emeritus of the Ann Arbor UU Congregation.\n\nAmong the many ways in which gender roles have been shaped in the 21st century are the portraits of women (and men) in the Jewish and Christian Bibles\, and the interpretations that Judaism and Christianity\, as well as secular society\, have put on these women (and men). Too often these interpretations of women have been negative and harmful. A more careful reading of the texts\, as many scholars in the last half century have been doing\, reveals much more positive images of Biblical women. There is courage\, intelligence\, craftiness\, and common sense practicality in abundance. This lecture highlights some of these feisty women who might serve as models for the 21st century woman.\n\nThis is the first in a six-lecture series. The subject is Changing Gender Roles. The next lecture will be April 11\, 2019. The title is: The More Things Change\, The More They Stay the Same: Gender Socialization in Early Childhood.

Yet despite this focus on creation\, American librarianship has positioned itself as a social science. Although many different scientific approaches have been used in the field\, few since the beginnings of the 20th century have approached librarianship as if it was not a science at all. In recent years\, a well-established record of research has demonstrated that design is a fundamentally different epistemological approach to science. While science observes and describes the existing world with the goal of replicability and prediction\, design creates artifacts intended to solve problems and\, ultimately\, change the world from its existing state to a preferred state. This presentation will discuss the implicit role of design in librarianship and its effects on user services and professional values\, culminating in a provocative reconceptualization of contemporary librarianship as a design field\, with recommendations for explicitly incorporating this new perspective into library research\, education\, and practice.\n\nFormerly the cataloging librarian at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising\, Rachel Ivy Clarke is currently an assistant professor at the Syracuse University School of Information Studies. Her research focuses on the application of design methodologies and epistemologies to facilitate the systematic\, purposeful design of library services and education. Her multiple-award-winning dissertation argues that librarianship is more appropriately viewed as a design field rather than a scientific one. Current projects include the IMLS-funded Designing Future Library Leaders\, which investigates the integration of design methods and principles in graduate level library education\, and The Critical Catalog\, an OCLC/ALISE funded project using critical design methodology to provoke the exploration of diverse library reading materials. She holds a BA in creative writing from California State University\, Long Beach\, an MLIS from San Jose State University\, and a PhD from the University of Washington.

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.

Japan is known for the extensive use of STW\, and we assemble unique data on STW for over 3\, 000 Japanese firms. Firms that used STW during a recession following the financial meltdown of 2008 are found to have slower employment growth in subsequent years. Such firms are\, however\, found to have similar growth of productivity and profitability in subsequent years. Japanese STW helps reduce employment volatility over the business cycle without harming firm performance. \n \nNaomi Kodama is a Professor in the College of Economics at Nihon University in Japan.

The genre of Local Gazetteers (difang zhi 地方誌) records a considerable number of disasters for the period of the Yuan-dynasty (1279-1368). The political nature of these data is well known and yet\, scientists from the early 20th to the 21st era of anthropocene debates have used them\, not only to advance their political agenda\, but also their sciences. This lecture will lead you through the way in which contemporary actors of the Yuan\, Ming historians\, and Chinese scientists from Zhu Kezhen to modern climatologists and historians produce(d) and use(d) ideas about weather and disaster. The focus of this lecture will be on the changing relations such actors draw between local knowledge\, history\, and imperial cosmology\, i.e. since the 20th century also “local knowledge\,” historical analysis\, and geology and climate science. \n \n Dagmar Schäfer is the Director of Department III (Artefacts\, Action\, & Knowledge) at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG). A prominent scholar in the history and sociology of technology of China\, she focuses on the paradigms configuring the discourse on technological development\, past and present. She has published widely on the premodern history of China (Song-Ming) and technology\, materiality\, the processes and structures that lead to varying knowledge systems\, and the changing role of artifacts—texts\, objects\, and spaces—in the creation\, diffusion\, and use of scientific and technological knowledge.

The plan is to hold a monthly journal club-like discussion\, through selecting science-related current topics of interest to both scientists and the public\, and deconstructing articles and white papers of differing opinions. Finally\, we are collaborating with MiSciWriters for these events with the goal of writing a blog post summarizing the discussion of the group each month.\n\nOur first topic will delve into discussing open access publishing of scholarly articles. What are the benefits and responsibilities of researchers to be open and transparent with their research findings to the public? What are the drawbacks\, risks and considerations related to moving towards completely open access? We will explore both sides of the debate\, using the following short reads to lead the discussion:\nOpen Access: The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly - https://bitesizebio.com/34520/open-access-good-bad-ugly/\nUC terminates subscriptions with Elsevier - https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/press-room/uc-terminates-subscriptions-worlds-largest-scientific-publisher-push-open-access-publicly\nFree Access to Science Research Doesn't Benefit Everyone - https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/12/free-access-to-science-research-doesnt-benefit-everyone/383875/\n\nPlease RSVP\, we will have coffee and some snacks\, please bring your own bagged lunch!

Proteins/ion channels that sense mechanical force are postulated to play critical roles in sensing touch/pain (somatosensation)\, sound (hearing)\, shear stress (cardiovascular function)\, etc.\; however\, the identity of ion channels involved in sensing mechanical force had remained elusive. The Patapoutian lab identified PIEZO1 and PIEZO2\, mechanically-activated cation channels that are expressed in many mechanosensitive cell types. Genetic studies established that PIEZO2 is the principal mechanical transducer for touch\, proprioception\, baroreception and lung stretch\, and that PIEZO1 mediates blood-flow sensing\, which impacts vascular development. Clinical investigations have confirmed the importance of these channels in human physiology. Most recently\, Patapoutian lab identified TMEM63/OSCA family of mechanically activated ion channels as well as a GPCR (GPR68) that senses shear stress and is essential for controlling flow-mediated dilation of blood vessels. The lab continues to analyze the physiological relevance of these receptors in and is searching for novel mechanosensors.\n\nSpeaker:\nArdem Patapoutian\, Ph.D.\, is a molecular biologist specializing in sensory transduction. His notable contributions include identifying novel ion channels activated by temperature\, mechanical force and increased cell volume. His laboratory has shown that these ion channels play crucial roles in sensing temperature\, touch\, proprioception and pain.\n \nPatapoutian was born in Lebanon and attended the American University of Beirut for one year before he immigrated to the United States in 1986. He graduated from UCLA and them received his Ph.D. at Caltech in the lab of Dr. Barbara Wold. After postdoctoral work with Dr. Lou Reichardt at UCSF\, he joined the faculty of The Scripps Research Institute in 2000\, where he is currently a professor in the Department of Neuroscience and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Patapoutian was awarded the Young Investigator Award from the Society for Neuroscience in 2006 and the Alden W. Spencer Award from Columbia University in 2017.

Simulation tools are increasingly being used in the ideation phase by designers to get real-time simulation of the parts as soon as they are being conceptualized. This has resulted in shorter\, agile product cycles even for hardware products allowing innovative products to be designed and produced in months and days. Companies are increasingly using model-based systems engineering concepts to take high level requirements of products\, and manage the complexity of product design using concepts of Digital Threads\, Digital Twins\, and Digital Continuity. We will touch upon some future directions of simulation-based product innovation around AI/Machine Learning\, Multi-physics Platforms\, Hyperscale Simulation\, and the convergence of the Digital and Physical worlds using IOT and Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality.\n\nPrith Banerjee is the Chief Technology Officer of ANSYS where he is responsible for leading the evolution of ANSYS’ Technology strategy and champion the company’s next phase of innovation and growth.

Research across mammalian species has revealed how ecological factors\, including sociality and predation\, influence sleep characteristics. More recently\, we have documented how many of these same selective forces have shaped the evolution of human sleep relative to other primates. I will present these evolutionary findings and discuss the follow-up research we have conducted in Madagascar and Tanzania to better understand the ecology of human sleep. Collectively\, our findings suggest that risks and opportunity costs have shaped human sleep in terms of duration\, quality\, and social patterning. Perceptions of threat in our increasingly urban and stressful world are likely triggering many of these same effects\, potentially leading to sleep disparities that drive health disparities in marginalized populations.

Kales\, a professor in U-M's Department of Psychiatry and Director of the Program for Positive Aging\, will present \"Using precision health to move the dementia care paradigm from sedation to person-centeredness.\" There will be time allotted for discussion after the presentation. Registration will close when full.\n\nAbstract:\nThere are currently over 5 million people with dementia in the US and over 15 million family caregivers providing them care. While memory problems are the hallmark of dementia\, the most problematic symptoms associated with the illness are behavioral and psychological. These include depression\, anxiety\, agitation\, psychosis\, aggression\, wandering\, sexually inappropriate behaviors\, and many others. While multiple expert bodies endorse the use of behavioral and environmental strategies for these behaviors first line\, the current treatment paradigm is largely one of knee-jerk sedation using psychotropics off-label. This is neither personalized nor precise. Kales will describe the creation and application of the DICE Approach to assessing and managing dementia behaviors as well as a web-based application of DICE called “The WeCareAdvisor.”\n\nBio:\nHelen Kales\, MD\, is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan and a Research Investigator in the Center for Clinical Management Research (CCMR) and the Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center (GRECC) in the VA Ann Arbor Health System. She is a fellowship-trained\, board-certified geriatric psychiatrist\, and her research program is directly informed by her clinical work and experiences with patients\, families\, providers\, and systems to diminish the barriers to effective and high-quality care for older patients with mental health issues or dementia. Kales has published over 120 peer-reviewed papers\, and her research has been continuously federally funded since 2004. In July 2019\, Kales will become the Chair of Psychiatry and Joe Tupin Endowed Professor at the University of California\, Davis\, where she plans to establish a center on positive aging.

But\, the policies that result actually place white Americans at ever-greater risk of sickness and death.\n\nPhysician Jonathan M. Metzl’s quest to understand the health implications of “backlash governance” leads him across America’s heartland. Interviewing a range of everyday Americans\, he examines how racial resentment fueled pro-gun laws in Missouri\, resistance to the Affordable Care Act in Tennessee\, and cuts to schools and social services in Kansas. And he shows these policies’ costs: increasing deaths by gun suicide\, rising dropout rates\, and falling life expectancies. White Americans\, Metzl argues\, must reject the racial hierarchies that promise to aid them but in fact lead our nation to demise.\n\nEvent Accessibility : \nRamp and elevator access at the E.

We study a class of “re-solving heuristics” for this problem. These heuristics periodically re-optimize an approximation of the problem known as the deterministic linear program (DLP)\, where random customer arrivals are replaced by their expectations. We find that\, in general\, frequently re-solving the DLP produces the same order of revenue loss as one would get without re solving\, which scales as the square root of the problem size. However\, by re-solving the DLP at a few selected points in time\, we design a new re-solving heuristic\, whose revenue loss is bounded by a constant that is independent of the problem size. \n\n(Joint work with PhD student Pornpawee Bumpensanti.

In-vivo\, alveolar epithelial cells normally experience 15% cyclic strain while increased tumor stiffness can result in a 40-fold decrease in cyclic strain. Although biomechanical factors in the tumor microenvironment have been shown to be a significant driver of cancer progression\, there is limited information about how biophysical forces alter tumor development and drug resistance in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Therefore\, the first goal of this study was to use computational and in-vitro models to investigate how changes in tumor microenvironment mechanics alter Erlotinib sensitivity. We also sought to develop a novel\, non-invasive way to characterize lung tumor mechanics. Although magnetic resonance electrography (MRE) has been used to measure the mechanical stiffness of soft tissues and quantify a 3-fold increase in lung tissue stiffness in fibrotic patients\, MRE has not been used to evaluate the stiffness profile of tumors within lung cancer patients. Therefore\, in this study\, we also conduct a proof-of-concept evaluation to demonstrate the ability of MRE to measure changes in lung tissue stiffness with a long-term goal of applying this technique to patients at risk for developing lung cancer. Our data indicate that cyclic stretching in the lung tumor microenvironment facilitate Erlotinib resistance. Characterizing tumor strain on a patient-specific basis may represent a novel approach to predict drug resistance and/or efficacy. We are currently using MRE measurements of lung stiffness to develop patient-specific computational models that can quantify mechanical strain at the local level. We are also designing studies to perform MRE in patient populations at risk for lung cancer (i.e. subjects with pulmonary nodules) and designing in-vitro studies that can simulate the complex biomechanics of lung tumors. \n\nYoujin Cho\, M.D.\, is a Ph.D. student in Biomedical Engineering at The Ohio State University.

In the last few years\, particle and kinetic approaches such as direct simulation Monte Carlo\, molecular dynamics\, and particle-in-cell have begun to offer new insights into traditional\, as well as\, non-traditional aerospace systems applications. However\, challenges related to the large variations in length and time scales still remain. Two diverse examples that will be presented in the seminar are (1) the kinetic treatment of electrons in space plasmas that cause spacecraft contamination and (2) the rarefaction affects in unsteady shock-boundary layer interactions. Use of new enabling\, computational algorithms that take advantage of the heterogeneous hardware environments will be discussed. \n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nDEBORAH A. LEVIN\, Professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign - (UIUC)\, received her Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology in chemistry. Before joining PSU in 2000\, she held positions at the Institute for Defense Analyses and George Washington University. Her recent research centers concentrate on the modeling of chemically reacting hypersonic flows\, radiation from hypersonic flows\, and kinetic gas dynamic approaches related to the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. She has been a member of the AIAA Plasmadynamics and Lasers Technical Committee since 1994 and is a past-chair. She is a Fellow of the AIAA\, associate editor of the Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer\, and has co-authored over 110 archival journal article.

Quality Revelation of Labor Intermediaries in International Migration\n\nAbuse and contractual breach are commonplace features of international migrant labor. This may in part be due to asymmetries of information between local labor intermediaries\, prospective migrants and foreign employers. This paper examines a government program in Sri Lanka that created reputational incentives for local labor intermediaries and then publicly revealed their quality. Using a difference-in-difference design with an eligibility cutoff\, we find that the program announcement induced all eligible agencies\, and especially low-quality ones\, to invest in the rating criteria. Second\, we find that eligible agencies experience more and higher quality foreign demand after the revelation of quality. A regression discontinuity design shows that otherwise similar agencies with higher ratings experienced higher foreign demand. We find that the program facilitated better matching between local agencies and foreign employers: reputable employers switch to using higher rated agencies\, driving down future harassment complaint rates by migrants and improving the market outcomes of these agencies.

DESCRIPTION:Cyclonic storms represent the dominant natural disturbance in coastal regions across much of the tropics. Projected increases in cyclonic storm rainfall and wind speeds under a warming climate will have profound effects on these ecosystems\, with implications for forest composition and structure of these and cascading ecosystem services. In this talk\, I will combine remotely-sensed and field plot data to evaluate the risk factors determining spatial variation in the magnitude of damage Hurricane María inflicted on Puerto Rican forests and to estimate total above ground biomass lost to this storm. I will then compare the impacts of H. Hugo\, category 3 storm that struck the island in 1989 with those of H. Maria on a 16-ha forest plot that has been the subject of long term study. Finally\, I will rely on an ecosystem model to explore the effects of a changing storm regime on the carbon dynamics of these forests.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/grpqgS5s5LA UID:49669-11487554@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49669 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181119T132512 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190404T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190404T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Psychoanalytic Perspectives on the Authoritarian's Allure: 1939\, 2019 DESCRIPTION:Psychoanalysts writing in the 1930s and 1940s as witnesses to Europe’s embrace of fascism offered incisive accounts of their own historical moment couched in the idiom of narcissism (featuring fascination\, grandiosity\, and magical thinking\; humiliation\, helplessness\, and insecurity) and drawn from psychoanalysis’s disavowed originary practices (such as hypnosis and suggestion). Individuals’ yearnings to participate in omnipotence and embrace of magical thinking sparked these analysts’ interest. In this talk\, Professor Lunbeck will examine their conceptualizations of the relationship between leader and led\, arguing that these offer a powerful framework within which to understand the fascinations of authoritarianism across the globe today. \n\nElizabeth Lunbeck is a professor of the history of science at Harvard University\, offering courses in the history of the psychotherapies\, of the psychological sciences\, and of the fortunes of psychoanalysis in American culture. She is the author of The Psychiatric Persuasion: Knowledge\, Gender\, and Power in Modern America (Princeton\, 1994)\; with Bennett Simon\, of Family Romance\, Family Secrets (Yale\, 2003)\; and of The Americanization of Narcissism (Harvard\, 2014).

These items include internal communications among Al-Qa‘ida (AQ) members\, their families and jihadis in the group’s orbit\, including the leaders of the parent group of today’s Islamic State. Since these communiqués were not meant for public consumption\, they contain the most reliable data of the organizational dynamics of AQ\, and the nature of the group’s relationships with states and non-state actors. Lahoud is writing a book based on these internal communiqués. This presentation is divided into two parts. The first part is a guide to the declassified Abbottabad items and the process of identifying the internal communications and coding them. The second part of the presentation focuses on key differences between AQ and the parent group of today’s Islamic State\, the group that has eclipsed but not defeated AQ. The Abbottabad documents allow us not just to understand the differences that eventually led to the public divorce between the two groups in February 2014\, but they also explain why the Islamic State failed to endure as a territorial entity. \n\nNelly Lahoud is a senior fellow in New America's International Security program. Dr. Lahoud’s research has focused on the evolution and ideology of al-Qa'ida (AQ) and the ‘Islamic State’ (ISIS/ISIL). She has also published on women's role in AQ and ISIS and the use of anashid (a capella) by these two groups in their media output. She has a Ph.D. from the Research School of Social Sciences — Australian National University. She was a postdoctoral scholar at St. John’s College\, University of Cambridge — UK\; Rockefeller Fellow in Islamic studies at the Library of Congress\; and research fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs\, Harvard University. Her previous appointments include being associate professor at the Department of Social Sciences and senior associate at the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point\; and assistant professor of political theory\, including Islamic political thought\, at Goucher College. Lahoud is fluent in Arabic and French.
