SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:A Year to Live
DESCRIPTION:We will read and discuss Stephen Levine's A Year to Live: How to Live This Year as if it Were Your Last (1997). He writes: \"It is not simply about dying but about the restoration of the heart\, which occurs when we confront our life and death with mercy and awareness. It is an opportunity to resolve our denial of death as well as our denial of life in a year-long experiment in healing\, joy and revitalization.\" Instructor: Abby Wilson. The class for adults over 50 will meet the 3rd Tuesday of each month through August 15\, 2007 with an exception in December when the class will meet Monday\, Dec 12 at 11:15. \n https://olli-umich.org/olli/index.php/member/ctlg/viewEventDetails/885

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Geometry/Topology
DESCRIPTION:I will introduce the general notion of moduli spaces and why they might be useful\, focussing in particular on Teichmuller space\, the moduli space of marked hyperbolic or conformal structures on a closed genus-g surface. Teichmuller theory is especially rich because it draws on tools from both hyperbolic geometry and complex analysis\, and serves as a prototype for many other moduli spaces\; we will highlight some examples of this in the talk.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interactions Between Aerosols and Rain Clouds as a Function of Aerosols’ Types and Sources (including cloud seeding applications)
DESCRIPTION:Three glaciogenic cloud seeding experiments with Silver Iodide (AgI) have been completed in Israel since the 1960's. These experiments claimed 12-15% rain enhancement in the catchment area of the Sea of Galilee\, around 20-25 km downwind of the seeding line. However\, the seeding efficiency has been debated\, and several studies have challenged this claim [Gagin\, 1975\; Gagin and Neumann\, 1981\; Rangno and Hobbs\, 1995\; Levi and Rosenfeld\, 1996\; Levin et al.\, 2010]. This prompted the fourth seeding experiment (\"Israel-4\")\, which is still ongoing. As part of Israel-4 experiment\, we sampled precipitation in northern Israel for chemical analysis in order to obtain information on the aerosols' load in air masses. This data was combined with information on cloud properties retrieved from the METEOSAT geostationary satellite. Seeding effect was examined by comparing cloud properties (cloud top phase (CTP) and cloud top temperature (CTT) and by comparing Ag concentrations and enrichments between seeded and unseeded clouds. This comparison was done for different air masses detected by the method detailed in Zipori et al [2015]. Our results show that AgI reached the target area\, as Ag/Al and Ag/Na values were higher in seeded rain samples\, especially in samples collected during marine air masses relative to unseeded rain. In addition\, our results show that AgI has the strongest impact on marine clouds probably because these clouds have low ice nuclei concentrations. This work provides a physical evidence for the seeding impact\, and should help sorting out the ongoing debate on this subject.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"The 'Return to the Bible' and the Performance of the Past in Israeli Culture\"
DESCRIPTION:The lecture explores the role of the Hebrew Bible in Israeli culture and its transformation over time. Hebrew culture developed multiple texts and practices that underscored the national significance of the Bible as one of its foundations. Although scholars marked its decline within secular Israeli culture since the 1970s\, the lecture explores the production of artistic works and popular forms in recent decades. It suggests that in spite of significant changes\, secular Israelis continue to be engaged with the Hebrew Bible\, though their interest may take different\, and at times contested\, directions.\n\nYael Zerubavel is the Director of the Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life and Professor of Jewish Studies and History at Rutgers\, the State University of New Jersey. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania\, and in 1988 joined its faculty at the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. In 1996\, she was recruited by Rutgers University to found the Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life and create a new department of Jewish Studies\, which she chaired until 2005. \n\nProfessor Zerubavel has published extensively in the area of collective memory and identity\, national myths\, cultural representations of war and trauma\, and space and symbolic landscapes. Her book Recovered Roots: Collective Memory and the Making of Israeli National Tradition (University of Chicago Press\, 1995) won the 1996 Salo Baron Prize of the American Academy for Jewish Research. She is currently completing her book manuscript Desert in the Promised Land: Nationalism\, Politics\, and Symbolic Landscapes\, and is working on another book project on Biblical Reenactments: The Performance of Antiquity in Modern Israeli Culture. Her most recent journal article\, “Numerical Commemoration and the Challenges of Collective Remembrance in Israel\,” has been published in History and Memory 26\, 1 (Spring/Summer 2014). \n\nProfessor Zerubavel has been a frequent speaker in international conferences on collective memory\, nationalism\, and Israeli society and culture. She is on the editorial board of major journal in the field of Israel Studies and has been a Fellow at the Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania\, the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris\, the Institute for Advanced Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem\, and is currently a Fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Double Feature Seminar: 1) Metasurface Generation of Accelerating Light 2) Coherent Control of Exciton/Biexciton System in Self-Assembled Quantum Dots
DESCRIPTION:1) We demonstrate a compact\, planar-optic approach for the generation of accelerating near-IR laser pulses by illuminating metasurfaces consisting of plasmonic nanoantennas patterned onto a glass substrate. Two accelerating beam trajectories were generated within the glass and imaged onto a CCD\; close agreement is shown with theory. The simplicity and compactness of the proposed planar-optics approach to generating accelerating beams opens new opportunities in the realization of accelerating beams and related devices for advanced manipulation of light.\n2) Coherent control of quantum dots has been intensively investigated for fundamental interest in physics as well as potential applications. While there are a lot of advantages for using an ensemble of quantum dots\, most of studies have been conducted by using single quantum dots due to the technical difficulties. In this talk\, I will discuss the experimental demonstration which clearly reveals coherent evolution in the exciton/biexciton system in an InAs self-assmebled quatum dot ensemble [1]. I will first talk about the experimental technique\, the pre-pulse two-dimensional spectroscopy\, used to observe the coherent evolution in the ensemble system. I will then talk about the experimental results revealing coherent manipulation of exciton and biexciton population by the pre-pulse. Lastly\, I will discuss the detuning and trions’ effects\, which two dimensional coherent spectroscopy can successfully elucidate. \n\n[1] Takeshi Suzuki\, Rohan Singh\, Manfred Beyer\, Arne Ludwig\, Andreas D.

SUMMARY:Other:Engineering Proteins for Selective Catalysis
DESCRIPTION:Proteins have great potential as scaffolds to control the selectivity of catalysts and reactive intermediates contained within their structures. Techniques to improve the substrate scope and alter the selectivity of natural enzymes are now well established\, and examples in which enzymes are used to catalyze synthetically useful\, non-native reactions are appearing with increasing frequency. This trend of using proteins to control chemical reactivity has been further extended through the development of artificial metalloenzymes\, hybrid catalysts comprised of synthetic cofactors linked to protein scaffolds. I will discuss efforts by my group aimed at engineering natural enzymes and artificial metalloenzymes for selective C-H bond functionalization and other challenging transformations. The examples presented will highlight the potential for molecular recognition and evolution to enable new methods and strategies for organic synthesis.\nJared Lewis\, University of Chicago\n Engineering Proteins for Selective Catalysis
