How are these structures assembled? Can we understand the fundamental principles behind their formation\, and assemble similar structures in the lab using simple inorganic building blocks? What’s the purpose of these complex structures in nature\, and can we utilize similar mechanisms to program new functions in metamaterials? In this talk\, we will start from the perspective of geometric frustration\, to explore answers to these questions. I will discuss our recent work on developing analytic theories based on crystal structures in non-Euclidean space for the self-assembly of nanoparticles into complex structures\, mechanical properties of materials in which geometric frustration causes prestress\, as well as our ongoing effort in designing topological mechanical metamaterials with and without geometric frustration.\n\nSnacks and coffee will be served. The talk will be recorded for later viewing.

For example\, while base-promoted reactions typically accomplish redox neutral transformations\, such as the addition of pronucleophiles to electrophiles\, we have identified general strategies for base-promoted oxidative and reductive coupling reactions. This talk will discuss the development of these strategies in the context of two methods: the oxidative coupling of arenes with nucleophiles and the reductive defluorinative coupling of trifluoromethylarenes with electrophiles. The mechanistic frameworks of these methods will be compared to traditional base-promoted protocols to demonstrate unique capabilities and broad synthetic potential. \nJeff Bandar (Colorado State University) UID:103338-21807043@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/103338 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1300 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230411T092319 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230411T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230411T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:POSTPONED: Considering an Academic Career?

The striking similarity between sequences of the high-altitude adaptation gene EPAS1 in modern Tibetans and Denisovans suggested adaptive introgression. However\, the time and geographic ranges where the adaptive introgression happened remain unknown. This talk consists of three studies that are related to archaic adaptive introgression. First\, I show that modern Tibetans experienced two pulses of Denisovan introgression\, among which a group more alike the Denisovans from the Altai mountains introduced the adaptive EPAS1 haplotype\, and the positive selection on EPAS1 did not start until well-after the Last Glacial Maximum. Second\, resolving the timeline of Denisovan adaptive introgression spurred an opportunity to reexamine Tibetan population history\, which remains perplexing after decades of work. By leveraging genetic and archaeological evidence\, I show that there are two possible models for the population history on Tibetan Plateau. Lastly\, I introduce MaLAdapt – a machine learning method for detecting genome-wide adaptive introgression\, which reveals novel knowledge of how genomic variants from archaic humans facilitated modern human adaptations in worldwide populations.

It will demonstrate the dynamics\, tensions\, and complexities in the imperial governance and judicial administration of Qing China (1644-1911).\n \n Li Chen is currently Associate Professor of Chinese History and Law at the Department of History and the Faculty of Law at the University of Toronto in Canada. He received his PhD in Chinese history from Columbia University and JD from the University of Illinois (UIUC). His research focuses on the intersections of law\, politics\, and culture in both Chinese and international history since the early 16th century. Besides other publications including two edited volumes and a forthcoming Chinese book\, his first English monograph\, \"Chinese Law in Imperial Eyes: Sovereignty\, Justice\, and Transcultural Politics\" (Columbia University Press\, 2016)\, received the honorable mention for the Peter Gonville Stein Book Prize of the American Society for Legal History in 2017 and received the Joseph Levenson Book Prize for Chinese studies from the Association for Asian Studies in 2018. He has since been working on several book projects on late imperial Chinese legal culture and judicial practices.

We show that spot-price contracting can facilitate collusion: When such contracts are available\, firms can maintain monopsonistic prices at much lower market concentrations than in standard models of Bertrand competition\, and some degree of non-competitive pricing can be maintained for any market concentration. We also show that the effect of differentiation on collusion in this setting is ambiguous: Monopsonistic pricing is most easily maintained at either high or low levels of differentiation\, while more competitive pricing arises at intermediate levels of differentiation.
