SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Meet Author Cory Brant: Great Lakes Sea Lamprey
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Press Great Lakes author event for April is in honor of spring and Earth Day! Celebrate with us by learning about one of the most destructive invasive species to ever enter the Great Lakes\, the sea lamprey\, the history of the invasion\, and monumental efforts to control them! We will be discussing the award-winning book \"Great Lakes Sea Lamprey: The 70 Year War on a Biological Invader\,\" by Cory Brant. There will be a Q&A with the author. \n\nCory Brant is a former post-doctoral researcher at the University of Michigan and Great Lakes Fishery Commission in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. For over a decade\, his work has focused on sea lampreys\, particularly the species’ use of chemical communication and how to exploit that biology as a method of control.\n\nThis event will be in Zoom webinar and streamed to Facebook Live.\n\n\"Great Lakes Sea Lamprey\" will be on sale for $13 and free shipping through the month of April. Just visit press.umich.edu and use the discount code \"UMGL13BRANT\" when you check out.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Implantable Neural Interfaces for Direct Control of Hand Prostheses
DESCRIPTION:State of the art robotic hands can mimic many functions of the human hand. These devices are a capable of actuating individual finger and multi-joint movements while providing adequate gripping force for daily activities. However\, for patients with spinal cord injuries or amputations\, there are few options to control these functions seamlessly or intuitively. A common barrier to restoring hand function to both populations is a lack of high-fidelity control signals. Non-invasive electrophysiological techniques record global summations of activity and lack the spatial or temporal resolution to extract or “decode” precise movement commands. The ability to decode finger movements from the motor system would allow patients to directly control hand functions and provide intuitive and scalable prosthetic solutions. This thesis investigates the capabilities of implantable devices to provide finger-specific commands for prosthetic hands. We adapt existing reasoning algorithms to two different sensing technologies. \n\nThe first is intracortical electrode arrays implanted into primary motor cortex of two non-human primates. Both subjects controlled a virtual hand with a regression algorithm that decoded their brain activity into finger kinematics. Performance was evaluated with a single degree of freedom target matching task. A state-of-the-art re-calibration approach improved performance\, measured as bit rate\, by an average of 33.1%. Notably\, decoding performance was not dependent on subjects moving their intact hands. In future research\, this approach can improve grasp precision for patients with spinal cord injuries. \n\nThe second sensing technology is intramuscular electrodes implanted into residual muscles and Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interfaces of two patients with transradial amputations. Both participants used a high-speed pattern recognition system to switch between 10 individual finger and wrist postures in a virtual environment with an average success rate of 94.7% and a trial latency of 255 ms. When the set was reduced to five grasp postures\, average metrics improved to 100% success and 135 ms latency. These results are a significant improvement over state-of-the-art systems that use surface electromyography as inputs. Furthermore\, grasp performance remained reliable across arm positions and both participants used this controller to complete a functional assessment with robotic prostheses. \nFor a more dexterous solution\, we combined the high-speed pattern recognition system with a regression algorithm that enabled simultaneous position control of both the index finger and middle-ring-small finger group. Both patients used this system to complete a virtual two degree of freedom target matching task with throughputs of 1.79 and 1.15 bits per second each. The controllers in this study used only four and five differentiated inputs\, which can feasibly be processed with portable or implantable hardware.\n\nThese results demonstrate that implantable systems can provide patients with fluid and precise control of hand prostheses\, eliminating the need to use movement substitutions and triggers to cycle through grip modes. However\, clinically translatable implantable electronics need to be developed to realize the potential of these sensing and reasoning approaches. Further advancement of this technology will likely increase the utility and demand of robotic prostheses.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CLASSICAL RECEPTIONS SYMPOSIUM
DESCRIPTION:CLASSICAL RECEPTIONS SYMPOSIUM\n\n2-5pm\, April 27\, 2021 \n\nWith U Michigan faculty and graduate students and guest speaker\nDr. Patrice Rankine\, University of Richmond \n\n\nCo-sponsored by Contexts for Classics\, \n\nTopics in Classical Intersectionalities Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop\, \nand the Department of Classical Studies\, University of Michigan\n\n\nPlease register in advance for the symposium using Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYsdeGuqj0vGddk351AJz8-GaZASRLp5EJr\n\n\nSchedule for Tuesday\, April 27 \n\n\n2-2:45 pm \nOpening Remarks: Disciplinarity and Knotty Problems \n\nPatrice Rankine\, Dean and Professor of Classical Studies\, U. Richmond\n\nIn graduate school\, my classmates and I joked about--and were impressed with--those students of the classics who seemed fully absorbed in some minute issue apart from this time and place\, such as the use of particles in Thucydides. Without relegating philology to a mindset of escapism\, we wondered simultaneously 1) what might motivate the full immersion in another place and time\, and whether that was even possible\; and 2) what it was about us that was unable to disentangle identity from the matter at hand\, the text\, the image\, or even the word. Both directions 1) and 2) represent the knotty problems of our discipline of classics\, its construction\, its vaunt\, and perhaps its rehabilitation in the present historical moment\, should we choose the honest confrontation evident in the papers aligned at this symposium. \n\n\n2:45 - 3:30 pm\nPanel 1: Poetics of Classical Reception\nPanel Chair: Professor Yopie Prins (Professor of Comparative Literature) \n\n1. Fernando Gorab Leme (PhD student\, Classical Studies):\n “If Clodia Despised Catullus\, you can very well\, Dionysus\, despise Ariadne”\n\n2. Tomi Drucker (PhD student\, Comparative Literature)\n“Io’s Signature: The Writing of the Body as Deconstruction of the Logocentric Speech in Ovid’s Io” \n\n3. Lena Grimm (PhD student\, Comparative Literature)\n “Visuality and Embodiment in Anja Utler’s ‘sibyl--a poem in eight syllables’” \n\n\n3:30 - 4:30 pm \nPanel 2: Pedagogies of Classical Reception\nPanel Chair: Ian Fielding (Assistant Professor of Classical Studies) \n\n1. Sherman Clark (UM Professor of Law):\n“A Lawyer’s Odyssey and an Apology for Law” \n\n2. Sara Yeager (PhD student\, Classical Studies):\n“Jerome’s Curriculum Vitae and the Departmental Division” \n\n3. Grace Zanotti (PhD student\, Comparative Literature):\n“dissertation conclusion final FINAL.docx: Finding Use for Greek Tragedy”\n\n4. Amanda Kubic (PhD student\, Comparative Literature):\n“Teaching Antigone in Ferguson and Carrie Mae Weems’ Past Tense - \nPedagogical Dilemmas\, Questions\, and Insights” \n\n\n4:30 - 5 pm \n\nConcluding Discussion: “Classics for All?”\nModerator: Professor Ian Moyer (Professor of History)\n\nConcluding remarks and discussion with Dr. Rankine of his essay\, “Classics for All? Liberal Education and the Matter of Black Lives” (from Classicisms in the Black Atlantic\, ed. Ian Moyer\, Adam Lecznar\, Heidi Morse).\n\n\nFor a link to Dr. Rankine's precirculated essay \"Classics for All?\" please go to the Contexts for Classics website:\nhttps://lsa.umich.edu/contextsforclassics/news-events/all-news/search-news/dr--patrice-rankine-joins-annual-classical-receptions-symposium-.html  \n\nFor questions related to the symposium\, please contact William Soergel (wsoergel@umich.edu).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic History: California and the Car: Early Adoption of the Automobile in the Golden State
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nWe present preliminary results on the pre-1940 diffusion of the passenger car in the U.S. and the world. The U.S. adopted the car much faster than other countries with roughly twice as many motor vehicles per capita as Canada. Within the U.S.\, car adoption was most rapid in California. In 1930\, there were more cars in Los Angeles county than in Germany and Italy combined. Income and population density only partly explain California's lead. We are collecting individual-level data on car ownership in California starting in 1905 in order to understand who bought cars first and to investigate hypotheses for California's unusually rapid car adoption.\n\n*To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Other:Earth-Abundant Molecular Catalyst Systems for the Reduction of Dioxygen and Carbon Dioxide \n
DESCRIPTION:The steady increase in anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and corresponding atmospheric concentrations continues to generate interest in using CO2 as a liquid fuel and commodity chemical precursor. The conversion of CO2 has the dual benefit of addressing its associated negative environmental effects and the diminishing supply of petrochemical feedstocks. At the heart of efficient reductive transformations are proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions\, where electrons and protons move in a concerted way to mitigate kinetic and thermodynamic penalties. Mechanistic understanding of these reactions can inform the design of optimized catalyst structures with improved activity and selectivity for specific products. Another cathodic reaction\, the electrocatalytic reduction of dioxygen (O2)\, has relevance to the development of more efficient fuel cells and can be similarly optimized through fundamental knowledge of the underlying PCET reactions. Molecular systems are well-positioned to provide a better understanding of these reactions because of the relative fidelity with which they can be characterized\, as well as the possibility for systematic testing of structure-function relationships through iterative molecular design. In addition to developing new Fe-\, Mn-\, and Cr-based molecular electrocatalysts for these reactions\, we are exploring the use of redox mediators and flow-based electrochemical reactors to understand how these reactions can be scaled relative to comparable heterogeneous systems.\n \nCharles Machan (University of Virginia)
