For instructions\, please email cmenas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘You Will Die at Twenty'”\n \n About the movie:\n NYTimes Critics Pick! Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous “coming-of-death” fable. During her son’s naming ceremony\, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina’s child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy\, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil\, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina’s ever-watchful eye\, he encounters friends\, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan’s first Oscar submission\, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.\n\nCo-sponsor: Michigan Theatre UID:82514-21114077@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82514 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:center for middle eastern and north african studies,Film,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210217T133137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210304T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210304T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:For Your Eyes Only DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This exhibition is designed to be viewed through the gallery window on Thayer St.\n\nYasmine Nasser Diaz is the 2021 Efroymson Emerging Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.\n\nFor Your Eyes Only is the latest iteration of multidisciplinary artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s bedroom installation. At first glance\, the constructed space is a shimmering homage to the bedroom disco—a sanctuary for uninhibited dance and self-expression. It has also become the setting from which many personal videos are made and shared widely on social media\, where platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have blurred the boundary between public and private. Projected into the space is a montage of casual videos shared by female-identifying and non-binary persons of SWANA* origin dancing solo in their rooms. To some\, the videos may seem innocent and innocuous\, but they can also be seen as acts of defiance that assert the autonomy of bodies that have been surveilled\, scrutinized\, and censored throughout history. Alongside these intimate moments is a separate reel showing political figures and protest movements from the SWANA region. The images demonstrate the fluctuating attitudes and regulations impacting human rights and freedoms based on gender\, and exemplify how—whether we are physically at a protest or sharing our physicality in virtual spaces—our bodies are engaged in some level of risk.\n*Southwest Asian/North African\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Arts of Devotion can tend to be conflated with only those items that are understood as “traditional\,” rather than those that emerge from the contemporary moment\, as if modern and contemporary art can only be associated with the purely secular world.\n \nYet there are numerous contemporary artists who have incorporated elements of the devotional into their works\, and devotional arts have changed with the advent of modern technologies and changing socio-political contexts. We might also consider Arts of Devotion as potentially extending beyond the usual association with the religious to other “devotional” relationships\, such as those for political or revolutionary leaders\, or individuals’ loved ones.\n \nThis year’s conference explores both contemporary and traditional Arts of Devotion by bringing together scholars from across disciplines and temporal and regional contexts\, to engage with one another and a broader audience of faculty\, students\, and the general public.\n\nFree and open to the public.\nThis conference is funded in part by five (5) Title VI National Resource Center grants from the U.S. Department of Education\n\nCo-sponsors: African Studies Center\, Center for Armenian Studies\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Kenneth G.

Nevertheless\, the birth rate has hovered around 1.4 children per woman\, far below what is required for the population to reproduce itself. Why haven’t the policies worked? I argue that policies that have focused on trying to make women’s work lives more like men’s have fundamentally missed the mark. Not only have such policies failed to raise the birth rate\, they have also arguably exacerbated gender inequality. This paper suggests that future government and workplace policies move in a different direction.\n \n Mary C. Brinton is the Reischauer Institute Professor of Sociology at Harvard University and the Director of the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies. Her research focuses on contemporary Japanese society and economy\, labor markets\, social demography\, and gender inequality. She has published widely on gender inequality in Japan and in East Asia more broadly.\n\nZoom registration is required here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JsLH5WpASsyrQLLYRqMn9g\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Following ideas in computer science\, we formulate the complexity of time evolution as the length of the shortest geodesic on the unitary group manifold between the identity and the time evolution operator\, and use the SYK family of models with N fermions to study this quantity in free\, integrable\, and chaotic systems. In all cases\, the complexity initially grows linearly in time\, and the shortest path lies along the physical time evolution. This linear growth is eventually truncated by \"shortcuts\" on the unitary manifold that are shorter than the physical time evolution. We explicitly locate such shortcuts and hence show that in the free theory\, shortcuts occur at a time of O(N^1/2)\, truncating complexity growth at this scale. We also find an explicit operator which \"fast-forwards\" time evolution with this complexity. In a class of integrable theories\, we show that shortcuts appear in a time upper bounded by O(poly(N))\, again truncating complexity growth. Finally\, in chaotic theories we argue that shortcuts do not occur until exponential times\, after which it becomes possible to find infinitesimally nearby fixed-complexity approximations to the time evolution operator. We relate these results to the Eigenstate Complexity Hypothesis\, a new criterion on the spectrum of energy eigenstates that guarantees an exponential increase of complexity over time that is consistent with maximal chaos.

However\, existing in vitro models lack temporal regulation that captures the controlled\, rhythmic processes that often occur in biological phenomena. A major contributor to this tech-bio mismatch is the difficulty to easily and sustainably scale our ability to apply timed oscillations\, representative of biorhythms\, in vitro. Developing technologies that are simpler and more adoptable for users\, while ensuring higher throughput\, have the potential to shift the way in which we establish cell cultures with a dynamic biorhythmic baseline.\n\nIn this talk\, I will cover how my previous work in different technology platforms will be leveraged to establish next generation cell and tissue culture platforms that enable biomolecule timed oscillations in more complex microenvironments. First\, I will discuss the development of microfluidic self-regulating circuits as a tool to produce modular chemical profiles on-chip at different timescales. Second\, I will describe microparticle building blocks for the generation of customizable porous scaffolds that are porous\, and consequently perfusable\, enabling our ability to apply biomolecule timed oscillations through liquid flow to 3D scaffolds. Finally\, I will describe my proposed research on establishing biorhythms in vitro and how these in vitro model systems will enable my research group to begin studying how stress within our lives lead to specific disease priming mechanisms.\n\nZOOM LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94405051853 UID:81387-20889817@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/81387 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,Bioninterfaces,Biosciences,Biotechnology,bme,Life Science,Michigan Engineering,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210225T104550 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210304T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210304T171500 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Chair's Distinguished Lecture: Dynamics of Acoustically Coupled Combustion Instabilities DESCRIPTION:Professor Ann R. Karagozian \nMechanical & Aerospace Engineering Department\nUCLA\n\nAcoustically-coupled combustion instabilities can result in large scale\, potentially catastrophic pressure oscillations in aerospace propulsion systems\, including liquid rocket engines (LREs) and gas turbine engines. A fundamental understanding of the interactions among flow and flame hydrodynamics\, acoustics\, and reaction kinetics is essential to determining combustor stability and controlling combustion processes. Over the past several years our group at the UCLA Energy and Propulsion Research Laboratory has been pursuing fundamental experiments that can shed light on combustion instabilities and their control\, including exploration of the effects of external acoustic perturbations on liquid nanofuel combustion as well as gas-phase fuel jet combustion for alternative geometrical configurations. Phenomena such as periodic liftoff and reattachment\, periodic partial extinction and reignition\, and full extinction are explored and quantified via phase-locked OH* chemiluminescence and high speed visible imaging. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) modes and coefficient plots of time-resolved imaging enables characterization of various dynamical behaviors and signatures associated with different phenomena. Understanding such characteristic signatures enables development of reduced order models that can impact eventual control strategies. \n\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nAnn Karagozian is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UCLA and heads the UCLA Energy and Propulsion Research Laboratory and the UCLA-Air Force Research Laboratory Collaborative Center for Aerospace Sciences.

Randall Collegiate Professorship in Physics\, Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:Just over 20 years ago\, the demonstration of self-referenced optical frequency combs solved a long-standing problem of linking radio- and light-frequencies. This breakthrough allowed direct measurement of the frequency of light and enabled optical atomic clocks with exquisite precision.

While Aksakov’s work has received critical attention for its memoiristic content and attention to nature\, the geohistorical specificity of the trilogy’s setting has been overlooked. This is surprising given the recent interest in understanding Russian colonial and imperial experience. A Family Chronicle (1856) and Childhood Years (1856) are not books in which the action could take place anywhere or in some generic pastoral or provincial space. Rather\, they are about a specific place – Orenburgskii krai (Bashkiria) – that was a borderland\, frontier\, and contact zone from the time of its inclusion within Russian imperial space in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries into Aksakov’s lifetime. In “A Taste of Frontier Medicine\,” I explore some of the ways in which the eastern Russian border with “Asia” broadly understood frames Aksakov’s work\, as well as how these texts make claims about Russian identity as something defined by and in the “hybrid\,” Eurasian sphere of the border zone. Discussion will center on two episodes that articulate a critical aspect of Aksakov’s frontier imaginary: the narrator’s mother’s taking of a “kumys cure.” The “kumys cure” serves as a revitalizing moment that establishes “nomadic\,” “Asiatic” elements of the frontier as a crucial antidote to both a perceived excess of civilization and\, counter-intuitively\, to the potential dangers of the frontier zone itself.

Her groundbreaking “architectural acupuncture” is a holistic approach to the social and economic revitalization of rural China and has been selected by UN Habitat as the case study of Inspiring Practice on Urban-Rural Linkages. Xu Tiantian received her masters in architecture and urban design from Harvard Graduate School of Design\, and her baccalaureate in architecture from Tsinghua University in Beijing.\n\nDnA_Design and Architecture is an interdisciplinary practice addressing our contemporary living environment\, both physical and social\, from scales small to large. Our approach to projects starts with research and discussion on context\, program\, and their interaction\, which we believe are the fundamental elements\, or the dna\, that will define design and architecture\, to adapt\, engage\, and contribute to our society of multiplicity and complexity. Context\, program\, and their potential relationship\, will cultivate architecture into a multidimensional expression and generate new experiment and exploration for users. Architecture will continue to influence and inspire our contemporary life.
