The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

A true Michigander\, Cavanagh was born and raised in Southeast Michigan\, attended U-M\, and currently works in Detroit. Cavanagh makes a concerted effort to exhibit as much as possible in her home state\, and when she is not in her studio\, you can find her cooking\, practicing yoga or playing with her cat\, Benji.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994\, and for the next 22 years\, New York became her home. In 2016\, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries\, whether tangible or not. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1\n1500 E.

It is an illness of dynamic states and pathological changes in energy\, emotion\, and cognitions. The Prechter Bipolar Program studies the course and outcome of bipolar disorder from several vantage points and identifies 7 phenotypic sub-classes that contribute to the observed phenotype in a pluralistic manner. The classes include: disease\, cognitive neuroscience (neuropsychology)\, psychology (personality)\, motivated behaviors\, sleep and circadian\, life story\, and course / outcomes. Each of the phenotype sub-classes defines a scientific edge of research\, each with contributions from several independent disciplines. The Prechter Bipolar Longitudinal Cohort consists over 1350 participants with clinical and biological data that will be available for collaborative research projects.

It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

This paper studies managers who participate repeatedly in a high-powered tournament incentive system\, learning relative performance each time. Using both reduced form and structural methods we find that: (i) managers make overconfident predictions about future performance\; (ii) managers have overly-positive memories of past performance\; (iii) the two phenomenon are linked at an individual level in a way consistent with models of motivated beliefs.\n\nwith David Huffman and Julia Shvet UID:65829-16660093@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65829 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:North Quad - 3100 (Ehrlicher Room) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190925T152557 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190923T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Costume Designs: Some of My Favorite Things DESCRIPTION:An exhibit of former students' costume renderings along with favorite pieces Prof. Jessica Hahn has designed for SMTD in the past 25 years.\n\nExhibit open Sunday-Friday 12:00-6:00 PM.

The focus of these issues has primarily been in social\, cognitive\, and cognitive neuroscience psychology\, however\, the area of developmental research is not immune to these issues. This presentation provides an overview of the “replication crisis” and the choices made by researchers that are often not noted in methods\, thus making the replication of studies more difficult. In this review\, we discuss issues of researcher flexibility in the data design and selection of sample size\, collection\, and analysis stages of research. In each of these areas\, we address examples of bias and how developmental researchers can address these issues in their own research.

Experimental and theoretical endeavors go in the direction of charge and energy transport\, Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) enhancement\, modified chemical reactivity etc. Oftentimes experiments rely on theoretical models developed for standard cavity quantum electrodynamics with two-level quantum emitters. Molecular systems however have an increased complexity as molecular vibrations and level disorder play a crucial role. We provide a theoretical formalism to tackle the light-electronic-vibrations dynamics modeled via the Holstein-Tavis-Cummings Hamiltonian [1]. We analytically describe aspects such as: polariton asymmetry\, molecular branching ratio modification in the Purcell regime and cavity-mediated donor-acceptor FRET processes.\n\n[1] M. Reitz\, C.

Using data on the U.S. stock market\, I show that the excess returns due news on the latest U.S. tax reform are strongly related to traditional measures of firm profitability and market power. Compared to a firm in perfect competition\, my model predicts that a monopolist would see its excess return increased by between 5 and 105 percentage points more upon news of the tax cut. I use this fact to construct a new measure of firm profitability based on its stock market reaction to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. My results show that profitability across U.S. firms is distributed with a long right tail\, confirming results from a growing literature documenting an increase in mark-ups and a concentration of market power in the U.S. economy.

Hospitals have also continued to build new operating rooms\, but advances in patient care and safety are not always evident. In this seminar\, we address these two areas of concern regarding day-of-surgery patient flow and safety. Part 1: We describe the development and testing of a mobile application to explore if the use of technology could reduce barriers to communication and coordination on the day of surgery. While staff members in a hospital’s perioperative services department perform their work individually\, their choices of upcoming tasks depend on data they can either observe or gather verbally in order to maintain patient flow. Without constant communication with members of other departments\, staff may inadvertently select lower priority tasks\, which is counter-productive to perioperative services as a whole. The developed mobile application\, Periop-MLS\, provided each department and its members greater visibility of the workflow. To carry out user testing\, the researchers integrated a day-of-surgery discrete event simulation model to communicate with the mobile app to provide realistic scenarios. Through trial-runs of Periop-MLS with staff members\, the POS department was able to make proactive coordination and communication decisions. Part 2: It is important to design an operating room layout that can not only improve staff and patient safety but also increase efficiency. In this research\, we identify those design factors that influence safety and efficiency through reduced clutter\, congestion\, and staff walking during surgery. A sample of video-taped surgeries from a large academic hospital were studied to understand the movement of surgical staff during surgery. All activities were coded based on location\, activity type\, and purpose\, and then simulation methodology was used to study the different activity types and movement patterns inside the room. Based on OR size\, OR shape\, operating table orientation\, workstation locations\, number of staff\, number of doors\, and surgery type\, we provided critical insight to OR managers and researchers as they determine recommendations for OR design elements and inform the design of future operating rooms.\n\nKevin M. Taaffe\, Ph.D.\, the Harriet and Jerry Dempsey Professor in Industrial Engineering at Clemson University\, has 25 years of industry and academic experience. After receiving B.S. and M.S. degrees in Industrial Engineering from the University of Illinois\, Dr. Taaffe worked in the transportation logistics industry (American Airlines\, Sabre) for eight years\, before returning to academia to obtain his Ph.D. from the University of Florida. Dr. Taaffe’s research interests include the application of simulation and optimization in healthcare\, production\, and transportation logistics. In particular\, Dr. Taaffe focuses on healthcare logistics problems that range from patient flow to operating room management to clinical space capacity management. Dr. Taaffe has worked with clinicians\, administrators\, managers\, and support staff to identify and solve problems related to the patient and staff experience on the day of surgery. Dr. Taaffe began his career working as a transportation planning consultant\, and there is a logical research thrust that has resulted from this experience. He has always enjoyed working on industry-sponsored projects that bridge the gap between theoretical research and application. This academic/industry collaboration is a theme of Dr. Taaffe’s interest\, as can be seen by his named professorship. Harriet and Jerry Dempsey provided this professorship in an effort to strengthen the research ties between Clemson University and Prisma Health – Upstate.  In addition to his academic and research interests\, Dr. Taaffe plays an important role in the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) where he serves as the Senior VP of North American Operations. In this role\, he is helping students and professionals get the most out of their professional organization.

We remember countless facts about the world (e.g.\, birds have wings\, 2+2=4\, there are 26 letters in the alphabet) as well specific information about our own lives (e.g.\, what we had for lunch\, where we went for our last vacation\, our first kiss). How does that work? How do we store information away into memory and then retrieve exactly the information we need minutes\, days\, or even years later? Conversely\, why do we so often forget someone’s name or where we put our keys? And perhaps most importantly\, is there anything we can do to improve our memory and keep it sharp? In this talk\, we’ll dive into the psychological and neural mechanisms that underlie our amazing ability to remember. And we’ll also discuss ways to maximize our memory by applying techniques that have been scientifically demonstrated to improve retention. \n\nBio: Professor Thad A. Polk is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Associate Chair in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan. His research combines functional imaging of the human brain with computational modeling and behavioral methods to investigate the neural architecture underlying cognition. Some of his major projects have investigated changes in neural representations as we age\, contributions of nature versus nurture to neural organization and differences in the brains of smokers who quit compared with those who do not. Dr. Polk has taught well over 6\,000 UM students over the past 20 years and has developed three neuroscience courses aimed at the general public for The Great Courses (The Addictive Brain\, The Aging Brain\, The Learning Brain). In 2012 Princeton Review included him on its list of the Best 300 Professors in the U.S. UID:64329-16316438@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64329 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Psychology,Talk LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Ann Arbor Public Library Multi-purpose Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190731T161404 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190923T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Justin Townes Earle DESCRIPTION:Justin Townes Earle has done a lot of living in his 37 years. For starters\, there’s the quick-hit bullet points about his childhood that seem to get dredged up in every interview\, article or review about the singer-songwriter and guitarist: Born the son of Steve Earle\, who was largely absent during Justin’s childhood\; struggles from a young age with addiction and numerous stints in rehab\; long stretches of itinerancy and general juvenile delinquency\; a youth he once said he was “lucky to have gotten out of alive.”\n\nThat’s before we get to the years spent honing his craft in Nashville bars and on club stages all over the world\; the various bands\, record labels and industry types that have been drawn toward and\, at times\, pushed away by him\; and\, finally\, the celebrated and rather formidable body of work he has amassed since releasing his critically-acclaimed 2007 debut EP\, Yuma.\n\nIt’s a seemingly bottomless well of material for a singer-songwriter to mine out of just three decades or so of life. And Earle at times has—most recently on his 2017 album\, Kids in the Street\, which the artist calls “one of the more personal records I’ve ever made.”\n\nBut when it came to his newest effort\, The Saint of Lost Causes\, Earle\, these days sober\, married and father to a baby girl\, chose to focus his gaze outward. “Maybe having a kid has made me look at the world around me more\,” he says.
