Lesions to a brain region called the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) dramatically impair spatial orientation abilities\, but little is known about how the RSC is able to carry out these GPS-like functions. Here\, we build towards a comprehensive cellular and circuit understanding of the RSC. We identify a uniquely small and excitable pyramidal neuron and show that it is the primary recipient of spatially-relevant inputs to the RSC\, allowing this cell to simultaneously encode both head speed and direction. We also discover a uniquely fast brain rhythm in the RSC and show that this rhythm is controlled precisely by the speed of movement. Finally\, we demonstrate how some of the critical building blocks of RSC function are impaired in a preclinical model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD)\, laying the foundation for understanding why the majority of persons with AD suffer from pronounced spatial disorientation.

In Western scholarship\, such multiethnic literary voices have remained largely silent and understudied. Drawing from her first book manuscript\, in this talk\, Dr. Zhang will offer a critical and timely introduction to Chinese ethnic minority literature from a global perspective. Particularly\, she will demonstrate how literature produced by ethnic groups of southwest China seeks to forge a \"transnational tribal solidarity:\" minority poets articulate their connections to Native American cultures and Latin American literary influences. Rooted in both indigenous traditions and transnational cultural imagination\, contemporary Chinese minority literature is vital for scholars of China and global multiculturalism to understand the movements\, interactions\, and negotiations taking place between indigenous/ethnic communities\, the nation\, and transnational forces in our increasingly interconnected world.\n \n Yanshuo Zhang is a postdoctoral fellow in the Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. Her current book manuscript\, tentatively titled \"Beyond Minority: The Qiang and Ethno-national Imagination in Modern China\,\" is an innovative interdisciplinary project that combines anthropological field research in the ethnic regions of southwest China with close reading of previously under-studied minority cultural articulations in contemporary China. Dr. Zhang's articles have appeared or will appear in positions: \"asia critique\,\" \" Prism: Theory and Modern Chinese Literature\,\" \"Heritage and Society\,\" among other journals. She received her PhD in Chinese Literature and Culture from Stanford University and grew up in China's multiethnic Sichuan Province.\n\nZoom webinar\, attendance requires registration: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_7HcSZv1IQF-hC0mcsJw-xg UID:80183-20594124@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80183 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Asia,China,Chinese Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210108T132036 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210126T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210126T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:LSA Opportunity Hub Employer Connection: Intern virtually with IES Abroad DESCRIPTION:Interested in getting cross-cultural work experience from home?

Flight plans must accommodate specific aircraft characteristics including physical volume with safety zone clearance\, landing/takeoff procedures\, kinodynamics\, and a wide range of flight environments. No single motion planner is applicable across all possible aircraft configurations and operating conditions. This dissertation proposes the first motion planning algorithm selection capability with application to small Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) multicopters operating in and over a complex urban landscape.\n\nFail-safe studies are presented to improve on contemporary \"fly-home\" or automatic landing protocols. Three alternative data-driven fail-safe protocols are presented for multicopter UAS urban flight\, focusing on building rooftops as safe urban landing sites. In the first fail-safe strategy\, the multicopter identifies\, generates\, and follows a flight plan to the closest available rooftop suitable for landing. In the second supervisory fail-safe strategy\, the multicopter examines rooftops en route to a planned landing site\, diverting to a closer\, clear landing site when possible. In the third fail-safe strategy\, the multicopter cannot preplan a safe landing site due to missing landing site data. In this case\, the multicopter executes a coverage path to explore the area and evaluate overflown rooftops to find a safe landing site. These three fail-safe algorithms integrate map generation\, flight planning\, and area coverage capabilities.\n\nThe motion planning algorithm selection problem (ASP) requires qualitative and quantitative metrics to inform the ASP of user/agent\, algorithm\, and configuration space preferences and constraints. Urban flight map-based\, path-based\, and software-based cost metrics are defined to provide insights into the properties of the urban canyon needed to construct safe and efficient flight plans. Map-based metrics describe the operating environment by constructing a collection of GPS/Lidar navigation performance\, population density\, and obstacle risk exposure metric maps. Path-based metrics account for a vehicle's energy consumption and distance traveled. Software-based metrics measure memory consumption and execution time of an algorithm. Metric maps were analyzed in-depth with path-based and software-based metrics utilized in Monte Carlo and ASP studies.\n\nAn algorithm portfolio consisting of geometric (Point-to-Point: PTP)\, graph-based (A* variants)\, and sampling-based (BIT* variants) motion planners were considered in this work. Path cost\, execution time\, and success rate benchmarks were investigated using Monte Carlo problem instances with A* \"plus\" producing the lowest cost paths\, PTP having the fastest executions\, and A* \"dist\" having the best overall success rates. The BIT* variant paths typically had higher cost but their success rate increased relative to altitude. The problem instances and metric maps informed two new machine learning solutions for urban small UAS motion planning ASP. Rule-based decision trees were simple to construct but unable to capture both complex cost metrics and algorithm properties. The investigated neural network-based ASP formulations produced promising results\, with a hybrid two-stage selection scheme having the best algorithm selection accuracy\, laying the seeds for future work.\n\nThe most significant innovation of this dissertation is motion planning ASP for UAS. Non-traditional open-source databases also advance the field of data-driven flight planning\, contributing to fail-safe UAS operations as well as ASP. Path planning algorithms integrated a new suite of diverse cost metrics accompanied by a novel multi-objective admissible heuristic function. Neural network and decision tree ASP options were presented and evaluated as a first-case practical approach to solving the motion planning ASP for small UAS urban flight.

It explores themes of alternative histories\, archives\, Black identity\, collective memory\, storytelling\; meshing performance and performativity\, and the interplay of the oral and aural in one’s experience of the world. An undercurrent of movement explored in multiple variations thread the works together\, realized through a variety of methods including painterly gesture\, repetitive mark-making\, performance with an audience or without\, spoken word\, ambient sound\, and reimagined instruments. The exhibition aspires to pull at the loosened threads of a social fabric in crisis\, revealing larger complex histories and art discourses\, nationally and internationally\, framed through the experiences and trajectories of Stamps alumni during their time in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication that will include interviews with each of the alumni artists conducted by current Stamps’ student and exhibition co-curator Moteniola Ogundipe.\n\nStory\, Word\, Sound\, Sway is co-curated by Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan and Moteniola Ogundipe.\n\n \n\nImage: Levester Williams\, “Shift\, Sift\, Swoosh Bods\,” 2018\, (detail\, video still) HD video\, color\, four audio channels\; 17 minutes 33 seconds (full length).

We show that generative adversarial nets (GANs) can not only generate realistic cloud fields with corresponding meteorological variables\, but also capture known physical relationship between cloud fields and meteorological variables such as sea surface temperature\, atmospheric stability\, and relative humidity etc. We demonstrate that this approach works across a large range of spatial scales: from individual grid points (sub-grid process modeling)\, multiple grids\, to global scale. In addition\, the AI-CD approach is stochastic in nature. We suggest the AI-CD approach can be used as a data-drive framework for stochastic cloud parameterization.\n\nBio: Dr. Yuan got his B.S. in Geophysics and Computer Science in Peking Univ.\, PhD from University of Maryland\, College Park\, in 2008. After graduation\, he is affiliated with Joint Center for Earth Systems Technologies (JCET) at the UMBC and NASA GSFC as an Associated Research Scientist. His research interest includes cloud and aerosol climate feedback\, aerosol-cloud interactions\, remote sensing\, cloud physics\, and application of ML/Deep Learning in Earth science. In deep learning applications\, Dr. Yuan published a few papers in modeling sub-grid clouds\, global scale clouds\, hurricane prediction\, finding ship-tracks\, and supervised and unsupervised cloud morphology classifications.

This webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered the joining information will be sent to your email.\n\nRegister at:\nhttps://myumi.ch/bv8Ey\n\nAre subtitles the “one-inch-tall barrier\,” as director Bong Joon-ho has characterized in his 2020 Golden Globe speech? Or aren’t they an invitation to foreign cultural products? This presentation revolves around the enthusiastic responses by Korean audiences toward the English subtitles for Bong’s award-winning feature\, Parasite (2019). Subtitles have long been the target\, probably the easiest target of global cinema fans for their mistranslation. As a subordinate translation to an audiovisual text\, subtitling is inherently vulnerable to such criticism due to the technical restrictions of time and space. For Parasite\, however\, the case was different. As it won Cannes’ Palm d’Or in May 2019\, its English subtitles—done by Darcy Paquet—were quickly named as one of the most contributing factors that made Bong’s masterpiece accessible to non-Korean-speaking audiences. Korean film fans lauded Paquet’s English subtitles for achieving the impossible task of translating the highly untranslatable details in Bong’s film\, namely “Bong-tail\,” which have been considered a feature that characterizes the director’s thorough approach to filmmaking. What sets such Korean audiences’ enthusiasm for English subtitles apart from their general dismissal of Korean subtitles for international films? With the question in mind\, my presentation delves into discourses surrounding the audiovisual translation of Parasite on various popular forums\, including review-aggregation websites\, YouTube videos\, and comments sections for news entries. Navigating Koreans’ celebratory reactions to English subtitles of Parasite\, the presentation illuminates the popular articulation of global Korean cinema.\n\nIrhe Sohn is Assistant Professor of Korean at Smith College. Ranging from colonial Korean cinema to the history of subtitling and cinema under the authoritarian regime\, his research revolves around the relationship between politics and aesthetics in the history of Korean cinema and media. He is currently writing a book manuscript entitled Promises of Failure: Dreams of Cinema in Colonial Korea.
