SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lane Hall Gallery Summer Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In this exhibit\, artists Ashley Bigham (photographs) and Grace Mahoney (watercolors) investigate the visibility and social role of Ukraine’s older generation of women embodied in a figure both iconic and ubiquitous: the babusya. Seen in public transport\, in the market\, and on the street\, each babusya has a story to tell. Each has something to say\, something to gossip about\, and something to complain about. \n\n\"Invisible Women: Portraits of Aging in Ukraine\" is hosted by the University of Michigan’s Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies. The exhibit is on display for public viewing weekdays from 8:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. through August 18\, 2022\, in the main lobby of Lane Hall\, located at 204 South State Street\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109. For more information on the current exhibit\, visit IRWG’s website.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Map ≠ Territory: Distortion and Power in Cartography
DESCRIPTION:More than strict representations of the world we inhabit\, maps are social constructions that embody the interests of their creators. Map ≠ Territory deconstructs maps that have been used to subjugate\, appropriate\, and oppress\, as well as the maps that counter that power through emancipation and advocacy. The exhibit critically engages with materials that span from the colonial era to modern-day Detroit.\n\nThe exhibit is available in the Clark Library (second floor Hatcher) during Hatcher Library hours. Please verify hours on the library's website: https://www.lib.umich.edu

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Case Studies in Responsive Design Research in Web Surveys - Responsive Survey Design: A Research Education Program - Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Case Studies in Responsive Design Research in Web Surveys\n\nWebinar open for registration!\n\nJune 30\, 2022\n9:00am-1:00pm\nTh\n\nWeb surveys can be an inexpensive method for collecting data. This is especially true for designs that repeat measurement over several time periods. However\, these relatively low-cost data collections may result in reduced data quality if the problem of nonresponse is ignored. This webinar will examine methods for using RSD to effectively deploy scarce resources in order to minimize the risk of nonresponse bias.\nRecent experiences with the University of Michigan Campus Climate Survey (UM-CCS)\, the National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG)\, and the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) are used to illustrate this point. These surveys are all defined by phased designs and multiple modes of contact. This approach improves survey outcomes\, including response rates\, representativeness\, and cost by using alternative contact methods in later phases to recruit sample members from subgroups that were less likely to respond in earlier phases. These surveys demonstrate the benefit of RSD in web surveys across a variety of different samples sizes\, and both small and large budgets and management teams. As a result\, lessons from these experiences can be directly applied in many similar settings.\n\nNot for academic credit. \n\nInstructors: Scott Crawford & Stephanie Coffey\n\nAll 2022 courses will be held in an alternative remote format.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:the small details
DESCRIPTION:Artists Amy Sacksteder and Brenda Singletary are both visual storytellers\, exploring their relationships to place and time through the contemplation of objects and raw materials within the context and the process of painting. Although disparate in their methods and aesthetic choices\, there is a surprising connection in their deep commitment to the particulars\, in all the small details more than “the big picture”…the idiosyncrasies and incidentals that give meaning\, resonance\, and renewal to their own visual languages\, and artistic practices ongoing. Visit our website to learn more: https://lsa.umich.edu/humanities/gallery/current-exhibitions/the-small-details.html.\n\n*the small details* was made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities Gallery High Stakes Art Initiative. This two-person exhibition opportunity intends to offer support and further exposure specifically for regional contemporary artists.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:UAS Contingency Management Autonomy with Experimentally Validated Models
DESCRIPTION:Chair: Ella Atkins\n\nUncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) are increasingly deployed for surveillance and trans­port applications. However\, their safety and performance are significant concerns. This dissertation develops a risk-aware autonomy architecture backed by experimen­tally validated performance and degradation models necessary to maintain acceptable risk levels even when flying at low altitude in urban areas.\n\nThe first contribution is an experimental model of aerodynamic performance for tractor and pusher hexacopter configurations. This work was motivated by exper­imental analysis of a single propulsion unit with different propeller configurations for which a pusher configuration generated 20% more thrust than tractor configu­rations. Wind tunnel experiments yielded the insight that in static conditions\, the pusher hexacopter has a higher lift-to-weight ratio than the tractor configuration be­cause the pusher generates 15% more thrust than the tractor. However\, in forward flight this higher lift-to-weight ratio is traded against a lower lift-to-drag ratio for the pusher design that has 25% more drag than the tractor design. We verified these re­sults by conducting outdoor autonomous flight tests. These results further motivated an investigation of wind sensing sensitivity for a hexacopter in tractor and pusher configurations. Wind sensing experiments and analysis revealed that the pusher hex­acopter configuration offers higher sensitivity to wind fluctuations than the tractor hexacopter.\n\nThe second contribution is a battery and motor reconfiguration scheme in a multi­battery pack to assure a UAS has sufficient stored energy to reach its destination. The proposed reconfiguration scheme is proactive by design\, utilizing component failure predictions from model-based prognostic methods. A model for the LiPo battery is experimentally determined using a novel low-cost test bed to collect charge/ discharge data for battery model parameter identification. Fault modes of BLDC motors are studied\, and a technique for motor fault prognosis is presented. Battery and motor degradation models are used for prognosis\, providing End of Discharge and Remaining Useful Life estimates\, respectively. Using abstractions of EOD value and other critical state features\, a novel battery reconfiguration MDP is proposed for a series-parallel battery pack. The MDP policy optimally reconfigures the battery pack in flight. Case studies are presented to demonstrate benefits of the battery reconfiguration MDP.\n\nThe third contribution is an MDP-based Contingency Management Autonomy (CMA) capability to generate mission-level directives that preserve safety when com­ponent reconfiguration alone is insufficient. Although component reconfiguration pre­vents most sudden mission failures\, there is no guarantee a degraded U AS can safely complete its planned flight. Optimal CMA policy effectiveness is evaluated on a high-fidelity simulator using experimentally validated models. Metrics such as mis­sion failure rate are used to analyze CMA MDP performance over 900 Monte Carlo simulations. In poor battery health conditions\, CMA MDP policy has a failure rate of 1.3% compared to a baseline policy's failure rate of 71%.\n\nIn summary\, this thesis contributes to better understanding multicopter flight per­formance and to improving safety of small UAS flight. Safety is addressed using an abstract MDP decision-making approach due to vehicle and operational complexity. Component reconfiguration and contingency management will be instrumental in de­ploying autonomous UAS. This dissertation provides a baseline capability on which future component and systems performance and prognostics elements can be added.
