This series will explore the history of Black Islam and the experiences of Black Muslim communities in the Americas\, including North America\, Latin America\, and the Caribbean.\n \nFrom March 4th-18th\, you will have the opportunity to watch *Two Gods* (2020)\, a film by Zeshawn Ali and Aman Ali\, on demand and for free. Pre-order your free tickets now: http://watch.eventive.org/gisctwogods\n\n---\n*Two Gods* is the story of Hanif\, a Black Muslim casket maker and ritual body washer in Newark\, New Jersey\, who takes two young men under his wing to teach them how to live better lives\, illustrating the complexities of everyday Muslim community life.\n\n​​Year: 2020 | Run Time: 82 minutes​​ | Language: English | Director: Zeshawn Ali | Producer: Aman Ali\n \nAn intimate documentary about faith\, renewal\, and healing\, *TWO GODS* follows a Muslim casket maker and ritual body washer in New Jersey\, as he takes two young men under his wing to teach them how to live better lives. Inside a corner casket shop in East Orange\, laboring amid the sawdust and the long pine boxes\, casket makers work with mentors in the Islamic burial tradition. Hanif\, a Black Muslim casket maker who finds spiritual grounding in his work\, brings two boys from the local community under his tutelage\; 12-year-old Furquan and 17-year-old Naz\, neither of whom have fathers at home. Hanif teaches Furquan and Naz the practices of Islamic burial rituals as they assist him with his work. Having formerly served time in prison\, Hanif continues to grapple with past mistakes and new challenges\, while his faith and community helps him guide his young charges on their own paths toward healing and embracing life.\n \nShot in a striking black-and-white\, *TWO GODS* explores the juxtaposition of grief and the rituals of death with the vibrancy and potential of adolescence. The documentary turns an empathetic lens on Muslim American stories\, ultimately crafting a moving portrait of both the intimate moments and the complexities of the everyday Muslim American experience.\n---\n\nOn March 17th\, GISC will host *Two Gods* filmmakers Zeshawn Ali and Aman Ali for a filmmaker Q&A. This conversation will be moderated by local Detroit filmmaker and GISC Fellow Razi Jafri. RSVP: http://bit.ly/GISCTwoGods\n \nJoin us for the rest of the 'Black Islam in the Americas' series:\n \nOn March 29that 1:00 PM ET\, GISC will host Dr. Su'ad Abdul Khabeer and Dr. Rasul Miller for a lecture on Black Islam in the Americas\, with a focus on the United States. Dr. Su’ad Abdul Khabeer is a scholar\, artist\, activist\, and author of* Muslim Cool: Race\, Religion\, and Hip Hop in the United States* (2016). She is an associate professor of American Culture and Director of the Arab and Muslim American Studies program at the University of Michigan. She received her Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from Princeton University\, is a graduate of the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University\, and completed the Islamic Studies diploma program of the Institute at Abu Nour University (Damascus). In her most recent work\, Umi’s Archive\, Dr. Abdul Khabeer examines the intersections of official history and the untold stories of Black women and Black Muslims through the lens of her mother’s life. Umi means mother in Arabic\, and Dr. Abdul Khabeer examines her mother’s photographic and literary archives\, and so the digital exhibition series is Umi's Archive. The project sees everyday Black women as people who know things we all need to know. Dr. Rasul Miller's work looks into Black Muslim communities in the Atlantic world\, Black radicalism and its impact on social and cultural movements in the twentieth-century U.S.\, Black internationalism\, and West African intellectual history. Dr. Miller's current book project\, *Black Muslim Cosmopolitanism: The Global Character of New York City's Black Muslim Movements*\, examines the Black internationalist origins of early twentieth-century Black Sunni Muslim congregations in and around New York City\, and the cultural and political orientations that characterized subsequent communities of Black Muslims in the U.S. who built robust\, transnational networks as they actively engaged traditions and communities of Muslims on the African continent.

As we celebrate fifty years of Dutch at the University of Michigan with this exhibit\, we trace our paths toward a new frame for Dutch Studies — one that emphasizes colonial repair and rethinks which voices matter. View the exhibit in the north lobby of the Hatcher Library.\n\nAbout the exhibit:\n\nIn the section titled “A New Canon\,\" the exhibit includes an empty space where the novel Max Havelaar by Multatuli would be\, the “top 10” book touted to have “ended colonialism.\" With the empty space\, we acknowledge the book’s white saviorism that rang in the new era of colonial oppression and cultural genocide called the “(Dutch) Ethical Policy.\" The books in our new canon crowd out Multatuli’s empty space in the same way that the other materials on display\, such as the sound of the carillon score of Gold Coast composer\, Charles E. Graves\, or the voice of Indonesian forerunner of colonial reparations\, Jeffry Pondaag\, drowns out the spaces left blank by Willem Janszoon Blaeu’s maps\, which reside in our U-M Library collections but are purposely not displayed.\n\nThe exhibit continues with collections of materials that show the Dutch program’s comparative approach to Dutch Studies\, one that connects histories and cultures and creates understanding through familiar frames of reference. Our collection of Anne Frank materials is supplemented with U-M Professor of History Rudolf Mrázek’s comparative work on the “model camps” of Theresienstadt (Nazi) and Boven Digoel (Dutch). A translation of Leendert van der Valk’s article “1619” on the Dutch foundations of U.S. slavery lies next to Marjolein van Pagee’s Banda: De Genocide van Jan Pieterszoon Coen\, an analysis of the 1621 Dutch genocide and enslavement of the Bandanese people.\n\nThe last part of the exhibit highlights the speakers scheduled to deliver lectures at an end-of-semester anniversary symposium.

How do we find a safe place\, protected from bad weather and circumstance\, in an era of floods\, fires\,violence\, abuse and pandemics? \n\nSnelling finds a route for escape by constructing big and small sculptural worlds\, private and public. \n\nSnelling is at U-M this winter term as the current Roman Witt Artist in Residence. During her residency\, the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and its Osterman Common Room will function as a “laboratory\,” or open studio\, where visitors can see the artist’s creative process as the installation evolves\, and the rooms change\, debunking any presumptive myth of permanence. \n\nSnelling’s pop aesthetic incorporates prefab objects\, bright colors\, light\, video\, and sound. The work is disarming in its exuberance\, reassuring us there is no such thing as a zombie under the bed\, while at the same time\, making room to process the very real and unsettling world in which we live. \n\nThrough workshops guided by Snelling\, U-M students and others from our local and outlying communities will create small-scale rooms or dwellings…”a room of one’s own” reflective of their personal feelings and ideas about home\, safety\, and dreams. \n\nThe experience of crafting together articulates the fundamental importance of our relationship to one another. The myriad of rooms will be displayed ongoing in the Osterman Common Room\, as well as becoming part of an installation on wheels\, a mobile unit meant to travel throughout town.\n\nThe mobile installation contemplates how we measure our sense of belonging\, or where we come from\, in a world of ongoing transitions and migrations. \n\nSnelling’s project fosters belonging despite all of the different ways we live and co-exist\, beyond structures and times of remoteness. Concurrently\, the installation embraces our everyday existence and the power of our individual and collective imagination. \n\nIn her previous 2017 Institute for the Humanities Gallery exhibition *Here and There*\, Snelling pushed up against the challenges of economic inequities\, racial biases\, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people. \n\n “The ongoing lack of affordable health care\, systematic racism\, class division\, economic downturn\, and the impacts of climate change all contribute to global poverty and housing issues…\,\" states Snelling. \"By working on this project with U-M students and communities regionally\, I hope to not only raise awareness of housing precarity but also be responsive together as a community...to the challenges facing our fellow citizens.”\n\n-Amanda Krugliak Arts Curator\n\nThe overall project *How To Build a Disaster Proof House* is curated by Amanda Krugiak\, Arts Curator and Assistant Director of Arts Programming at the Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with Chrisstina Hamilton\, Director of the Roman Witt Residency Program at the Stamps School. Tracey Snelling is the Stamps 2022 Roman Witt Artist in Residence.\n\nThe project has included workshops with groups across the U-M campus and further afield in the regional community at spaces including the Ann Arbor Art Center (A2AC)\, The Shelter Association of Washtenaw County at the Robert J. Delonis Center and Freighthouse Day Shelter\, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti\; and shelter for New Americans in Hamtramck. Thanks to U-M student and Delonis caseworker Alexzandra McCrum\, A2AC Gallery Director Ashley Miller\, Stamps MDes students and Stamps professor Nick Tobier for all of your guidance and help facilitating these outreach engagements.\n\nThe Disaster Proof mobile unit will be exhibited at the 60th Ann Arbor Film Festival in the Michigan Theater\, Tuesday March 22 - Sunday March 27\, 2022. Snelling’s short film A Poem is a City\, created in collaboration with Arthur Debert\, will be in competition as part of this year’s AAFF programming. A *Disaster Proof* community installation will appear at the Ann Arbor Art Center beginning in mid-April in connection with the A2AC Gallery’s inaugural exhibition\, *Sharing Space* (May 20 - July 8\, 2022).

In the process\, many of them have been arrested\, brutalized\, censored\, deported\, imprisoned\, or executed. Some were innocent victims of violent police or discriminatory policies.\n\nThe U-M Library’s Joseph A.

Following the story of 25 year old strike leader\, Anna “Big Annie” Klobuchar Clemenc\, Russell draws attention to the women and the immigrants who risked their lives to fight unregulated capitalist exploitation. Widely praised for meticulous research\, fine prose\, and the compelling narrative drive of her stories\, Mary Doria Russell is the award-winning author of seven bestselling novels\, including the science fiction classics “The Sparrow and Children of God”\; the World War II thriller\, “A Thread of Grace”\; and a political romance set in 1921 Cairo called “Dreamers of the Day”. \n\nMary Doria Russell was born in the Chicago suburbs to a military family. She received her BA in Cultural Anthropology at the University of Illinois- Urbana-Champaign\; her MA in Social Anthropology at Northeastern University\, Boston\; and her PhD in Biological Anthropology at the University of Michigan. Mary lives in Cleveland\, Ohio. \n\nThe activities surrounding this event will begin with a discussion of Mary Doria Russell’s novel on Friday March 18\, 2022 at 10:00am facilitated by the students and faculty of EMU’s Honors College. Following the event will be a panel discussion focusing on the themes raised by the novel - feminism\, union organization\, immigrant’s rights\, and the history of the Peninsula Community in which the novel is set. \n\nPre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the presentation will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

Michigan\, Indiana\, Iowa\, and Northwestern\, among a few others\, have long served conspicuously as conduits for writers living in a kind of historical—and\, for much of the twentieth century\, political—frontier. It is through these institutions that many such writers have entered the world literary marketplace. Though rarely remarked\, this concentration of activity has deep demographic\, cultural\, and geopolitical roots\, tying the middle of one continent to the middle of another and providing a durable link between immigrant communities and their points of origination.\n\nThis interdisciplinary seminar retraces the institutional history of midwestern translation networks for Eastern European literature. The day’s activities\, which are intended both for our scholarly community and the general public\, will include a panel on Ann Arbor’s conspicuous role as a hub of Eastern European literature\; an online and in-person exhibit of archival and print materials\; an expert panel on tamizdat (banned literature published abroad and often smuggled back into its country of origin)\; an expert panel on the present and future of globalizing Eastern European and Central Asian literature\; and a celebratory reading of poetry in translation.\n\nProgram:\n10-10:45: \"Samizdat from a Basement in Ann Arbor\": Piotr Westwalewicz\, Herbert Eagle\, Jindrich Toman\n\n11-11:45: Presentation of Building Bridges Over Walls Exhibit (doctoral students Azhar Dyussekenova\, Samantha Farmer\, Katie Kasperian\, and Tanya Silverman\, Slavic Languages and Literatures\, U-M\; and Dylan Ogden\, Comparative Literature\, U-M)\n\n12-1: Tamizdat and the Cold War: Yakov Klots (Hunter College\, The Tamizdat Project) and Jessie Labov (Central European University)\n\n2-3: Translation Networks Today: Russell Scott Valentino (Indiana University\, Slavica Publishers) and Joanna Trzeciak (Kent State University)\n\n3:15-4:15: \"Listening against Silence\": A Reading of Literature in Translation with Clare Cavanagh (Northwestern University)\n\nThis is an in-person event for U-M students\, faculty\, and staff only\; all sessions will also be livestreamed on Zoom.\n\nRegistration for in-person attendance is required.

However\, the non-smooth piecewise linear loss function introduces challenges to the computational aspect when the number of covariates is large. To address the aforementioned challenge\, we propose a convolution-type smoothing approach that turns the non-differentiable quantile piecewise linear loss function into a twice- differentiable\, globally convex\, and locally strongly convex surrogate\, which admits a fast and scalable gradient-based algorithm to perform optimization. In the low-dimensional setting\, we establish nonasymptotic error bounds for the resulting smoothed estimator. In the high-dimensional setting\, we propose the concave regularized smoothed quantile regression estimator\, which we solve using a multi-stage convex relaxation algorithm. Theoretically\, we characterize both the algorithmic error due to non-convexity and statistical error for the resulting estimator simultaneously. We show that running the multi-stage algorithm for a few iterations will yield an estimator that achieves the oracle property. Our results suggest that the smoothing approach leads to a significant computational gain without a loss in statistical accuracy.\n\nhttp://www.keanmingtan.com/ UID:90170-21668504@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/90170 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20220310T121521 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20220318T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20220318T113000 SUMMARY:Performance:Strings Masterclass with Kenneth Slowik (The Smithsonian Institute) DESCRIPTION:Kenneth Slowik first established his international reputation primarily as a cellist and viola da gamba player through his work with the Smithsonian Chamber Players\, Castle Trio\, Smithson String Quartet\, Axelrod Quartet\, and with Anner Bylsma’s L’Archibudelli.

Pedagogies of Transfemininity in the Spanish Colonial Philippines 1589-1864 DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Jaya Jacobo narrates and describes the simultaneous disavowal and affirmation of transfemininity in the Spanish colonial Philippines within the apparatus of colonial cisheteropatriarchy by looking at narratives which mark out the emergence of the transfeminine in Catholic religious discourse and its catechetical project of conversion. \n\nIn particular\, Jacobo reads the instrumentalization of transfeminine divinity against the establishment of imperial priesthood in chronicles written by Spanish friars as they document the evangelization of the islands. What emerges in these chronicles is the pedagogical value of the transfeminine priest/trans priestess as a recalcitrant body gaining the ideal subjectivity of a “rectified heathen.” To triangulate the discursive formation of the transfeminine as an aberrant body rectifying its own inclinations as well as resisting the force of interdictions\, Jacobo turns to lexicons and grammars through the colonial centuries\, ending with an analysis of the figuration of cisgenderhood and the concomitant recession of trans possibility in the didactics of a significant Tagalog novel of manners in the late nineteenth century. \n\nJaya Jacobo is Assistant Professor of Gender\, Equality and Diversity at the Institute of Education of Coventry University\, United Kingdom. She was previously Postdoctoral Fellow of the Philippine Work Package of the GlobaLGRACE Genders and Cultures of Equality Programme at the University of the Philippines\, which enabled her to work alongside travesti and transsexual women artists\, academics and activists in Brazil. She is a founding co-editor of *Queer Southeast Asia: A Transgressive Journal of Literary Art* and a member of the board of trustees of the Society of Trans Women of the Philippines. \n\nFree and open to the public\; register at http://myumi.ch/9P63y UID:91621-21681040@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/91621 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asian Languages And Cultures,center for southeast asian studies,Cseas Lecture Series,History,Lecture,Southeast Asia,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20220309T141400 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20220318T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20220318T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Seminar> Chemical Biology and Proteomic Approaches to Rare Disease and Cancer DESCRIPTION:Host: Yanzhuang Wang\n\nVirtual event: For Zoom link and passcode\, see the Weekly Update or\nemail: mcdb.seminar.info@umich.edu UID:90411-21670716@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/90411 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Research,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20220105T181605 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20220318T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20220318T133000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Mentoring Across Differences DESCRIPTION:This workshop will address challenges that emerge in mentoring relationships related to the players’ social identities and their intersection. Through a variety of interactive activities and case studies\, participants will be able to explore from a distance the way bias plays out in mentoring relationships\, dive into closer practice to recognize their own bias from a mentor’s perspective\, and develop strategies to interrupt various biases to ensure particular kinds of collaborations with members of their future teams. Participants will also be able to tap into personal knowledge and experiences as mentors or mentees and create the vision and practice of mentorship they would like to pursue in their particular fields and careers. The session’s main objective is to recognize the power of intentional mentorship within the inclusive leadership framework by enhancing participants’ skills and professional toolkits and their understanding of differences\, thus\, ultimately\, achieving a higher level of comfort with both vulnerability and life-long growth when advocating for diversity\, equity\, and inclusion.\nThis workshop is designed for University of Michigan master’s students\, doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows.

Over the past 20 years\, she has worked within\, by\, and for her Dine' (Navajo) communities\, however\, this work is in service of all Indigenous peoples. Dr. Marek-Martinez will share her research\, particularly in the area of the refusal of colonialism using Indigenous archaeological approaches in the creation of tribally specific archaeological approaches. The work that she has completed for her People resulted in a Nihooka Dine’e bila’ ashdla’ii archaeology\, or an archaeology of the Five Finger Earth Surface People\, a ceremonial name for the Navajo People. Dr. Marek-Martine will use her work with the Navajo Nation to discuss the ways that colonial based archaeology has impacted Navajo communities and the subsequent attempts at reclamation of deep history for the Navajo people. Finally\, she will also give an overview of the colonial roots of archaeology that have created the space necessary for an Indigenized and decolonized archaeology.

This limits the type of investor who will engage in projects. Data provides near real time insights into performance\, structural health and use\, much like share prices update as new information becomes available to inform buyers and sellers. As a result\, data from physical infrastructure is setting the stage for a new software-as-a-service (SaaS)-like business and financing model where data contracts can be securitized\, licensed and used for new infrastructure applications and services. By envisioning data as the informational stock (or collateral) of infrastructure\, better pricing of its value\, and improved liquidity of investments\, are already starting to change designs and financing mechanisms that maximize performance delivery. Ultimately\, by decreasing reliance of financing on the tax base of communities\, access to quality infrastructure services will become more democratized\, as data-driven revenue starts contributing to the funding mechanism.

Arcadia Brasiliensis: Landscape and Colonial Dislocation in the Poetry of Cláudio Manuel da Costa DESCRIPTION:The publication of the Orbas of the Brazilian Cláudio Manuel da Costa in 1769 is recognized as the beginning of a period in Brazilian colonial literature termed ‘Arcadianism.’ The literature of this period displays the initial formulations of Brazilian national identity\, anticipating its independence in 1822 and negotiated by means of a neoclassical armature.\n\nMy lecture will consider formulations of space and landscape in the work of Cláudio Manuel da Costa\, whose poetry\, centered around the Greco-Roman bucolic Arcadia\, reconciles the experience of inhabiting a landscape altered by colonialist intervention with the idyllic projection of the European literature which serves as his literary antecedent. Such a formulation encapsulates the tension between real and imagined spaces that characterizes European geographical thinking after the so-called ‘discovery’ of the Americas\, which fundamentally altered the European world view. \n\nThe literature that emerged from the era of Iberian discovery and exploration would shape its colonial spaces in its own imagination through reliance on literary formulations of space coined in the literatures of Greco-Roman antiquity. This Eurocentric narrative is disrupted by literatures produced by the inhabitants of this New World\, shaping the world that was their center in contradistinction to its image in European literatures.

We have not actually traveled very far from our home planet and we are only beginning to understand physiological changes and the potential for using science and engineering to overcome those challenges. For example\, we know we on Earth are protected by the van Allen belts. Can we find a way to protect astronauts who travel beyond the 36\,000 miles of van Allen belt coverage from the radiation? Can we overcome the loss of blood cells\, muscle mass\, proprioception\, and immune system function? Some of these are scientific questions\; others are engineering problems to solve. NASA and her international partners must work together to solve these problems if we are ever to travel back to the Moon\, on to Mars\, and beyond. This generation of scientists and engineers are going to be the people who overcome these challenges. A side benefit is for people all over the world to overcome differences and work together on this greatest of adventures.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\nDr. Kathy Clark is currently a Movement Science Lecturer in the University of Michigan School of Kinesiology. She received her Ph.D. in Kinesiology from the University of Michigan. Prior to her time at the school\, Dr. Clark was a member of the Stafford/Anfimov Advisory Panel and the Stafford-Covey Return to Flight Task Group at NASA. She also served as Chief Scientist at NASA for both the Human Exploration & Development of Space Enterprise and the International Space Station.\nDr. Clark is a professional speaker who uses her experience to motivate and inspire others to reach for the stars in their careers. She also works to promote education with groups like the Jean-Michel Cousteau Society\, the Square One Education Network\, the Argos Foundation\, the National Marine Sanctuaries\, the Sea World Hubbs Institute\, SAS Games\, the National Space Grant Foundation\, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s After School All Stars\, and the 27 Foundation.\n\nRegistration: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEqfu2gpzsqH9PK9ZMR7d_lvdsBufe1qX5X UID:93327-21702658@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/93327 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Aerospace,aerospace engineering LOCATION:Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building - 1109 FXB Boeing Lecture Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20220323T103556 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20220318T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20220318T141500 SUMMARY:Presentation:Big Astronomy DESCRIPTION:Big Astronomy focuses on three of Earth’s largest observatories in Chile’s rugged Andes Mountains and arid Atacama Desert.

The liver is also a frequent site for metastases originating from colorectal cancer\, pancreatic cancer\, melanoma\, lung cancer and breast cancer. Depending on the location\, severity and staging of liver cancer\, multiple treatment options are currently available including surgical resection\, liver transplantation\, chemotherapy\, radiation therapy\, targeted drug therapy\, immunotherapies\, and ablation techniques including radiofrequency ablation (RFA)\, microwave ablation (MWA)\, cryoablation\, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)\, yet the prognosis of HCC remains poor with five-year survival rates reported at only 18% in the US. Even after treatment\, the high prevalence of tumor recurrence and metastasis highlights the clinical need for improving outcomes of liver cancer.\n\nHistotripsy is a novel non-invasive\, non-ionizing\, and non-thermal ablation technique that mechanically destroys target tissue by controlled acoustic cavitation. High pressure (p->30MPa)\, microsecond-length ultrasound pulses cause endogenous nanometer-scale gas nuclei in the target tissue to rapidly expand and collapse\, generating high mechanical stress and strain to disrupt the cellular structure into an acellular homogenate. This dissertation investigates histotripsy as a therapeutic ultrasound treatment option of liver cancer and other solid tumors.\n\nThe first study evaluated the safety and feasibility and survival benefits of histotripsy in an in vivo murine liver tumor model. Results showed that non-invasive histotripsy ablation reduced local tumor progression of subcutaneous human-derived HCC tumor and improved survival outcomes in immunocompromised mice. This study also characterized the radiological features correlating to the histotripsy tumor response.\n\nThe second study investigated the anti-tumor immune response generated by histotripsy ablation of subcutaneous murine melanoma and HCC tumors. Histotripsy stimulated potent local intratumoral infiltration of innate and adaptive immune cell populations\, promoted abscopal immune responses at untreated tumor sites and inhibited growth of pulmonary metastases. Histotripsy was capable of releasing tumor antigens with retained immunogenicity and was able to amplify the efficacy of checkpoint inhibition immunotherapy.\n\nThe third study evaluated the safety\, feasibility\, and tumor volume reduction effects of histotripsy for liver cancer ablation in an orthotopic\, immune-competent in vivo rat HCC model. For the first time\, it was demonstrated that complete as well as partial histotripsy ablation of tumors can result in complete tumor regression with no recurrence.\n\nThe fourth study evaluated the effects of partial histotripsy tumor ablation on tumor response\, risk of metastases and immune infiltration in an orthotopic\, immunocompetent\, metastatic rodent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) model. Results showed that histotripsy significantly improved survival outcomes with no increased risk of metastasis compared to controls and demonstrated that augmented tumor immune infiltration may have contributed to the eventual regression even with partial treatment of tumors.\n\nThe fifth study compared the safety\, tumor response and survival outcomes between single and repeat histotripsy treatments of human-derived HCC tumors in immunocompromised murine hosts and mouse-derived HCC tumors in immunocompetent murine hosts. One week after the initial histotripsy treatment\, animals received a repeat histotripsy treatment. Results showed that while both histotripsy groups significantly improved survival outcomes over control\, the repeat histotripsy group demonstrated slower tumor growth and increased survival compared to single histotripsy.\n\nOverall\, this dissertation demonstrated the potential and in vivo feasibility of histotripsy for successful non-invasive tumor ablation\, reduction of local tumor burden and prevention of metastasis. Future studies will continue to investigate the safety\, efficacy\, and biological effects of histotripsy liver cancer treatment for potential translation to clinic.\n\nDate: Friday\, March 18\, 2022\nTime: 1:30 PM EST\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95042725076 Passcode: EarthPass\nChair: Professor Zhen Xu UID:92996-21698984@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/92996 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,bme,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20220224T091948 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20220318T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20220318T150000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Weakness of Strong Expectations: Diffusion and the Self-Defeating Prophecy DESCRIPTION:New innovations\, practices\, and behaviors often spread through diffusion processes in which earlier adopters influence later adopters. However\, research on diffusion has a well-documented success bias — cases in which a new innovation successfully spreads through a population or organizational field garner more attention and theorizing than the countless other cases in which similar innovations fail to take off. The same theories and models that account for successful diffusion often become cumbersome when tasked with explaining failed diffusion\, an outcome that is at least equally common. In this talk\, I will present results from a theoretically-informed computational model of organizational behavior to argue that failed diffusion need not be more mysterious than successful diffusion. In fact\, both outcomes may reflect the same underlying mechanisms rooted in how actors form social expectations for how others will behave. Organizations interpret their peers’ decisions to adopt or reject a new innovation in light of their own socially formed expectations\, with unsurprising decisions having less impact than conspicuous surprises. Consequently\, successive adoptions of a new innovation reinforce its spread while also paradoxically making its continued diffusion more susceptible to disruptions that can make a previously growing “bandwagon” suddenly and unexpectedly collapse. These dynamics make the spread of new innovations noisy and unpredictable because the same innovation facing identical initial conditions can diffuse widely in some cases but fail to launch in others. While we often think of institutionalized expectations as making the social world more predictable\, the opposite also holds—widely-believed prophecies can be self-defeating as well as self-fulfilling.

We posit that humans represent and predict ethical choices by determining how much the observed person values themselves (S)\, values others (O)\, and cares about outcome disparities (D). Observers are modeled as revising their preconceptions about these parameters after watching the social choices of other people\, which they understand in terms of the three corresponding incentives within each situation. A Morality Game was developed\, where across a series of trials each participant/observer predicts peoples’ next choices before and after watching their previous choices in game theoretic dilemmas with systematically varied payoff structures that include helpful\, selfish\, win-win\, and malicious options. We find that participants represent their beliefs about other peoples' moral decision-making based on relative weightings of the above three independent dimensions and they revise these beliefs with evidence.

Although these are expected to be generically quantum mechanical\, our goal is to understand a class of such states that are coherent enough to admit classical descriptions in Einstein gravity. The construction of such states corresponds to adding interesting topological structures in spacetime with the help of compact extra dimensions. The constructions manifestly behave like ultra compact objects\, dubbed topological stars\, which can also model black hole microstates. I will discuss physical aspects of such constructions.

Tides also change the eccentricity and tilt of the lunar orbit\, and Earth's obliquity (the tilt between the equator plane and the ecliptic plane of our orbit around the Sun).  In this work\, we attempt to calculate the evolution of the Earth-Moon system over the whole of Earth's history using sophisticated ocean tide and orbit models.  Over long time scales\, the rate at which tidal energy is being dissipated is affected by the geometrical configuration of the continents\, the length of day\, and mean sea level\, which is affected by plate tectonic forces and the presence or absence of large ice caps. The faster rotating Earth of the past was less efficient at dissipating energy and the present placement of the continents enhances some tides due to resonances.  In addition\, tidal dissipation in the Moon slows the orbit evolution by absorbing energy from the orbit and there was a time in the distant past when the Moon's tidal dissipation was large. The evolution of the Earth-Moon system is complex and uncertain\, but it can be addressed with advanced models.  At the end of the talk\, we will briefly discuss related work on the potential implications of the Earth's rotation rate for the history of oxygen on Earth.

Focusing on Pakistan\, it looks at the complexity of the processes whereby the postcolonial state formation project was intimately tied with creating a citizen through various discursive practices\, ideological formulations\, and pedagogical tools. Through a close reading of various archival documents\, newspaper reports\, and even museum catalogs\, we will examine how the postcolonial state selectively drew upon the repertoire of the qaum for rich ideological pickings to establish the sense of being Pakistani. Yet\, at the same time\, in the continuous acts of creation and recreation of the state through everyday practices\, the postcolonial state empties the metaphor of qaum of its richness and plurality to make it more amenable and stabilize its meanings. By highlighting the modalities\, rationalities\, and techniques of nation-state formation\, this lecture will historicize the ‘sights and sounds of the nation-state’ through which the postcolonial state creates its preferred representation of nationhood. \n\nBorn and raised in Lahore\, Ali Usman Qasmi is a historian of modern South Asia. He has published extensively in his area of expertise\, including two monographs - Questioning the Authority of the Past: The Ahl al-Quran Movements in the Punjab\, and The Ahmadis and the Politics of Religious Exclusion in Pakistan (winner of Karachi Literature Festival Peace Prize). Along with several journal articles and chapters in academic works\, he has co-edited three volumes\, including Muslims Against the Muslim League: Critiques of the Ideas of Pakistan. He has previously been the recipient of the Newton International Fellowship for postdoctoral research. Since 2012\, Qasmi has been teaching history at the LUMS University's School of Humanities and Social Sciences. He is currently a Fellow at the Stanford Humanities Center.\n\nPlease register in advance for this Zoom webinar here: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEudeqtqDgqG9KXG_BCmLECIkdML9-3B9si\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.
