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.

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.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059399@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191123T063021 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T103000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:KIPP DC School Visit DESCRIPTION:Join the KIPP DC Recruitment Team at our upcoming school visiton November 8th.

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.

Some have been tortured or killed through waterboarding\, others have been forced into oceans to die or disappear. Refugees across world regions have drowned crossing bodies of water in hopes for a better life. \n\nMillions of people all over the world are being tortured\, disappeared\, and forcibly displaced by repressive regimes and wars while governments of other countries are denying them a safe place to live. There are now as many as 1.3 million survivors of politically motivated torture survivors living in the U.S. And over 70 million refugees in the world according to the United Nations Refugee Agency\, the highest number in the almost 70 years since the refugee agency was founded.\n\nDuring this time of rapid political change worldwide\, the Blood Underwater Workshop and Exhibition offers an opportunity for students\, activists\, members of civil society organizations\, and NGOs to come together as change agents to protect human rights\, freedom and dignity\, and to spread peace\, justice and love.\n\nBlood Underwater is a collaborative work\, which encourages deep thinking and creative expression. It provides a voice for community members and activists\, especially from political\, national\, racial\, religious and other minorities\, to express their concerns about global suffering through art. Participants gather around a large canvas with paints and music and are guided through a series of artistic expressions by “artivist” Elshafei Dafalla. The purpose is to use art to protest against violence\, torture\, enforced disappearances and other forms of brutality.\n\nBlood Underwater is a demand for “freedom\, peace and justice” -- from San Salvador to Khartoum to Sindh -- and throughout the world. This visual narrative will recognize men and women who have been murdered because they wanted to live in freedom\, political prisoners\, people forced from their homes\, and those who have been tortured for standing up to dictatorships.\n\nThe Blood Underwater artwork narrative will connect participants to one another\, and to refugees\, asylum seekers\, political prisoners and others who have already died or are currently suffering in their own countries or in new lands. This collaboration and new knowledge will enable participants to reflect together about global suffering\, and what can be done about it.\n\n-------\nEishafei Dafalla received a Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture from the College of Fine and Applied Art at the University for Science and Technology in Khartoum\, Sudan as well as a Diploma in Folklore from the Afro-Asian Institute at the University of Khartoum. He earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Stamps School of Art and Design at University of Michigan. Dafalla has participated in more than fifty exhibits worldwide\, and his work is part of public and private collections in Africa\, Asia\, the Middle East\, Europe and the United States. He continues to lecture and to exhibit his work\, holding artist residencies\, participating in community building activities\, and creating performative installation events around the U.S. and internationally. An extended interview with Dafalla was created by the Washington DC-based\, nonprofit\, Center for Concern. \n\nThe exhibition will be on display November 4-22\, M-F\, 10am-5pm\, at the Residential College Art Gallery at 701 East University Ave.\, Ann Arbor MI 48109. Free and open to the public. \n\nThere will be an opening reception for Blood Underwater with Elshafei Dafalla in attendance on November 1 from 6-8pm\, and refreshments will be served.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods.

Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like\, nearly abstract paintings\, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”\n\nExhibit runs September 14 through November 15\, 2019 at the\n\nUniversity of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, 1800 N.

By comparison\, practical applications of the normal means model are relatively rare\, and it has generally been overshadowed by methods like L1-regularization as a way of inducing sparsity. Here we argue that this should change: we describe some recently-developed Empirical Bayes ways to solve the normal means model\, and describe how they can be applied to induce shrinkage\, sparsity and smoothness in a range of practical applications\, including False Discovery Rates\, non-parametric regression\, sparse regression\, and sparse principal components analysis or factor analysis.

The exhibit is a tribute to antiquarian bookseller and outstanding Americanist William S. Reese (1955-2018)\, drawing upon Reese's 2017 book \"The Best of the West\" for its descriptions of the titles on display. \n\nThe books and pamphlets in the exhibition range chronologically from Miguel Venegas' 1757 \"Noticia de la California\" to Thomas F. Dawson & F. J. V. Skiff's 1879 \"The Ute War.\" In between are dozens of the rarest examples of western Americana primary sources\, in Spanish\, French\, English\, and German. They include discovery and exploration narratives\, 19th-century overland narratives\, prints and views of Native Americans\, color-plate books\, gold and silver mining reports\, and other glimpses of the trans-Mississippi West.

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\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15002304@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884108@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n  UID:63627-15820780@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Media LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191004T181807 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

Tan’s essayistic reflections on landscape are captivated by the unseen effects of rapid urban development\, radical transformations necessitated by growth. Sifting through the affective and psychic experiences of accelerated change by way of a postcolonial economic miracle\, she tries to find identity through evocative onscreen encounters with visual media\, local soundscapes\, architecture\, and cartography. The films tend to refuse the more common artistic recourse to nostalgia\, and defy a critical tendency to circumscribe the island’s national cinema in direct relation to social and political specificity in a traditional sense. Her most recent work casts aside the pretense of national essentialism\, to dwell instead on the timeless qualities of non-places. Within these anonymous and alienating “any-space-whatevers\,” we come upon the most lucid understanding of what it means to be from somewhere that perhaps\, ironically\, never was.\n\n Gerald Sim is an associate professor of film and media studies at Florida Atlantic University\, the author of The Subject of Film and Race: Retheorizing Politics\, Ideology\, and Cinema (2014)\, and Lee Kong Chian NUS-Stanford Distinguished Fellow on Contemporary Southeast Asia.

In some areas of the world the introduction of Bd to naïve host communities resulted in epidemics of the disease chytridiomycosis that caused numerous declines and extinctions. Our work in western Panama\, which experienced die-offs in the mid-2000s\, has focused on understanding what comes after such epidemics\, testing hypotheses about the roles of host and pathogen evolution in the shift to endemic dynamics\, or the persistence of host and pathogen in a shared environment. Another focus of my lab’s efforts has been on clarifying how both current (i.e.\, seasonal) and predicted future changes in climate shape the risk of disease related declines in North American frogs. Using a combination of field studies and experiments\, we have begun to clarify the effect of temperature on host immune defenses and susceptibility to chytridiomycosis\, and how the opportunity for thermally-mediated host defense varies in space and time. Using mesocosm studies\, we are also investigating how climate-induced stress experienced during larval development impacts later life traits\, like immune defense and thermal tolerance\, that affect fitness in a broader context.\nThe University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS) is a tremendous resource\, with strengths in research\, education and community engagement. Drawing on my experience as a field station researcher and director\, I’ll conclude my seminar by outlining my vision for the future of the UMBS. Here I’ll highlight ways we can build upon the station’s existing strengths to promote more collaborative and interdisciplinary research\, demonstrate excellence in place-based teaching and learning\, and strengthen interactions between field station users and both the U of M and Northern Michigan communities.\nImage by Ashley Cecil UID:68572-17103239@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68572 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Earth Day At 50,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191031T160150 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T140000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:EIHS Symposium: Rethinking Time\, Thinking Multitemporally DESCRIPTION:Time\, the messy stuff of historical accounts\, constitutes a rich nexus of possibilities. Yes\, it moves steadily forward. Still\, there were and are many times: Measured times\, imagined times\, lived times\, narrated times\, subaltern times\, and other times await those who tend to temporal rhythms analytically\, in the past as well as in the present. Recognizing the plural within the temporal is nothing new\, however. Thinking time on multiple planes has a venerable intellectual pedigree. This panel aims to raise awareness about the polytemporal\, the asynchronous\, and the anachronic from a variety of perspectives.

While the demand uncertainty is exogenous (stemming from the random patient census)\, the absenteeism uncertainty is endogenous\, i.e.\, the number of nurses who show up for work partially depends on the nurse staffing level. For the quality of care\, many hospitals have developed float pools of nurses by cross-training\, so that a pool nurse can be assigned to the units short of nurses. In this paper\, we propose a distributionally robust nurse staffing (DRNS) model that considers both exogenous and endogenous uncertainties. We derive a separation algorithm to solve this model under an arbitrary structure of float pools. In addition\, we identify several pool structures that often arise in practice and recast the corresponding DRNS model as a monolithic mixed-integer linear program\, which facilitates off-the-shelf commercial solvers. Furthermore\, we optimize the float pool design to reduce the cross-training while achieving a specified target staffing costs. The numerical case studies\, based on the data of a collaborating hospital\, suggest that the units with high absenteeism probability should be pooled together.\n\nBio:\nMinseok Ryu is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) at the University of Michigan (U-M).

DESCRIPTION:The analysis of ocean color satellite data has detected summer blooms of chlorophyll that consistently develop in the oligotrophic North Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and 30°N. In this seminar I will describe the features of these blooms and discuss the potential biological and physical forcing mechanisms that cause them. Based on limited field sampling it appears that these blooms often contain diatom—diazotrophic associations (DDAs). Blooms of both Hemiaulus and Rhizosolenia diatoms\, both containing the nitrogen-fixing endophyte Richelia intracellularis\, have been sampled within the satellite-defined bloom features. The blooms develop in late summer in a very consistent location\, ~30°N\, and 130-150°W\, and they occur almost every year. The general oceanography principals that explain the global chlorophyll distribution cannot account for these blooms\, and their existence suggests evidence of enhanced tidal mixing in this area. The region near 30° is a “double” critical latitude\, with a transformation of internal waves occurring at both diurnal and semidiurnal frequencies. The breakdown at the critical latitude of internal waves generated at Hawaii could provide the physical mechanism to explain these blooms. Subsurface data will be also be presented from a Biogeochemical-Argo float that collected data synoptic with the development of a chlorophyll bloom in 2014.

Day DESCRIPTION:Cancer patient survivorship has increased substantially over the past few decades due to advances in anticancer treatments. However\, a common deleterious effect of these lifesaving treatments is premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)\, as they are gonadotoxic. POI leads to infertility and loss of ovarian endocrine function\, which is particularly devastating for female cancer survivors who experience POI prior to puberty\, as puberty is the most crucial physiological event in a female’s life. Lack of ovarian endocrine function and absence of puberty leads to long-term co-morbidities such as poor bone health\, diminished metabolic turnover\, impacted cognition\, and high risk of cardiovascular events. Current treatment options such as hormone replacement therapy and ovarian auto-transplantation are associated with non-physiological delivery of hormones and risk of re-implanting cancerous cells. This thesis details the work to prove our hypothesis that allo-transplantation of donor ovarian tissue can be utilized to restore ovarian endocrine function without evoking an immune response. We hypothesized the concept of immuno-isolation could be utilized to protect encapsulated allogeneic ovarian tissue in murine and non-human primate models.\n \nFirst\, we developed a dual poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) that was appropriate for both ovarian tissue transplantation and immuno-isolation. The Dual PEG capsule contained a proteolytically degradable core crosslinked via Michael-type addition which was conducive for the dynamic growth of ovarian tissue and a non-degradable PEG shell that would serve as the immuno-protective barrier. We demonstrated in an ovariectomized syngeneic murine model that ovarian tissue encapsulated in Dual PEG survived and functioned until removed 60 days after implantation\, which was shown through resumption of cyclicity\, restoration of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis\, and presence of healthy developed follicles.\n \nNext\, we demonstrated the capsule was immuno-isolating as allogeneic ovarian tissue encapsulated in Dual PEG and implanted in recipient mice did not evoke a significant allo-specific antibody response compared to controls and the capsule did not allow cellular infiltration\; protecting the encapsulated allograft from the outside immune environment and leading to ovarian endocrine restoration. After we proved that the Dual PEG capsule can prevent cellular infiltration\, we demonstrated that the capsule can also retain cells encapsulated within\, which can possibly be applied towards ovarian tissue auto-transplantation through retention of cancerous cells present in the graft and preventing cancer spreading and metastasis. We then demonstrated that encapsulation of ovarian allografts in Dual PEG precludes sensitization of the host immune system which proves the capsule is immuno-isolating and the host immune system is not exposed to allo-antigens while the graft is encapsulating\, possibly allowing multiple implantations of the capsule.\n \nLastly\, we demonstrate that non-human primate ovarian tissue can survive and develop in the Dual PEG capsule restoring ovarian endocrine function\, while being protected from an immune response as indicated by the lack of active\, dividing T cells in a syngeneic and allogeneic NHP model. This proves the capsule can withstand the volumetric change present in NHP folliculogenesis\, protecting the encapsulated allograft\, which promotes graft survival and ovarian endocrine restoration. Taken together\, this dissertation works towards allowing the implantation of allogeneic ovarian tissue to restore ovarian endocrine function in a physiological manner without the risk of immune rejection.

The 2011 DCL had major implications for the adjudication of peer sexual violence. Compliance with the DCL required American universities receiving federal funds to change their policies. Most did\, a few did not. Among those that did\, responses were more heterogenous than might have been expected given that federal funding is at stake. This heterogeneity is also puzzling theoretically\, as socio-legal theorists expect organizations to display at least symbolic compliance with legal mandates. We argue that one reason for this puzzling response was that prior to 2011\, most universities had policies to address what they referred to as “student sexual misconduct.” Peer-to-peer sexual violence was understood as a form of student misconduct\, to be handled by student conduct professionals. While civil rights lawyers had come to understand peer sexual assault as a Title IX issue\, this was not obvious to student conduct professionals. Nor were student conduct professionals prepared to cede their turf to civil rights experts. The ensuing collision between civil rights and student conduct logics generated a range of heterogeneous outcomes. Theoretically\, we will discuss how organizational change is produced out of processes of organizational bricolage\, or hybridization.

When sharing your writing\, do you ever worry that your readers will see a list of sentences more than an elegant\, logical flow of ideas? Do you receive feedback asking you to develop ideas further\, or connect points together? Do you find yourself using the same logical connectors (e.g. however\, similarly\, as a result) over and over? In this workshop for graduate student writers\, we will explore “information bridges” as a means to improve the organization\, flow\, and precision of documents you compose. We will work with examples from a range of academic disciplines\, and provide tools to explore how information bridges tend to be constructed in your own corner of the academic writing world.

The buyer is privately informed about her valuation\, and the seller privately observes her stochastically changing production cost. The seller's time-varying private information gives rise to new dynamics. Prices fall gradually at the early stages of negotiations\, and trade is inefficiently delayed. Inefficiencies persist even when gains from trade are common knowledge. Privately observed costs lead to lower welfare\, higher seller revenue and lower buyer surplus (especially for high-value buyers) relative to a setting with publicly-observed costs.

It is an energy source in crisis\, and we are responsible.\nThe R&D\, the reactor engineering and designs have been operating on the outdated and mistaken assumptions that uranium is rare and high conversion reactors are needed. We pursued neutron and conversion efficiency at the risks to the investments\, operators\, public and environment\, and sacrificed capital efficiency and asset safety that are essential for marketplace.\nNuclear fuel is where most of the energy and radioactivity are in reactors. By nature it has extremely high energy density. But we do have design choices in coolant\, total power and power density. Recognizing the extreme differences between nuclear and chemical fuels\, we can design\, fabricate and protect nuclear fuel before it becomes radioactive\, and design the reactor so that it is meltdown proof in the best case scenario\, or won’t damage the fuel and release large quantities of radioactivity in the worst case scenario.\nLearning from other industries in which major innovations have been successfully introduced\, and based on our research on fully ceramic micro-encapsulated fuel\, we developed a gas cooled micro modular reactor that can meet the safety criteria for all and are economically attractive in entry markets. We can bootstrap into new nuclear in years\, not decades\, and have the potential to quickly scale up with global impact on mitigating climate change.\nThis presentation will outline the thought process\, the proposed approach\, and the progress and outlook of the development and demonstration.\n\nBio: Dr. Ning Li is a co-founder and senior advisor of Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation\, a US company dedicated to the development and commercialization of advanced nuclear energy based on innovations on fuel and micro modular reactor. He was a Distinguished Professor and the Dean of College of Energy\, Xiamen University\, a member of the Expert Committee for the State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (working with Westinghouse to build the world’s first AP1000s and develop new designs)\, a senior advisor and Director for Asia Development of TerraPower\, a research affiliate of MIT\, and the Industrial Fellow for Civilian Nuclear Programs at LANL. Dr. Li has extensive R&D experiences in nuclear energy and fuel cycle technologies\, and was a planner\, leader and participant in a number of US DOE civilian nuclear energy programs\, including Generation IV Nuclear Energy Systems\, Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative and Accelerator-driven Waste Transmutation. His R&D interests and efforts extend to advanced materials\, fabrication\, power conversion\, long-life core or travelling-wave reactors\, and power generation technologies and systems in general\, including renewables\, storage\, efficiency and integrated systems.\n\nDr. Li maintains strong academic and international collaborations\, and publishes widely with over 220 technical papers and reports. Dr. Li is a co-founder and the President of the New Energy Industry Alliance since 2013\, a recipient of the 2006 Asian American Engineer of the Year Award and 2010 Scientific Chinese Person of the Year Award.
