SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Yiddish Leyenkrayz
DESCRIPTION:The Yiddish Leyenkrayz is a weekly reading group open to faculty\, students\, and the general Yiddish-reading public. We read classics of Yiddish literature\, but also rediscover lesser known texts in the original. We often read plays\, so as to divide the reading according to roles. Copies of the text are made available at each meeting.\n\nNOTE: Event details may vary\, please contact the Judaic Studies office to confirm.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dance Master Class Repertory Series: Matthew Rose and Lesley Garrison
DESCRIPTION:Department of Dance Alumnus Matthew Rose and Lesley Garrison will teach a masterclass which will include an excerpt from Layla and Majnun\, the piece the Mark Morris Dance Group is performing here in Ann Arbor.  \n\nEach Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities.\nEach guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15 minutes\, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist\, discussing their career\; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional\, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Digital Destiny
DESCRIPTION:Digital Destiny presents 20 sculptures in metal and found materials created over the past five years by the Cameroonian artist Dieudonne Fokou. Fokou experiments continuously with new media\, as he explores different modes of creation in the plastic arts. His work is nourished by themes of justice and the search for peace and liberty\, as well as by his travels\, problems inherent to his society as well as his hopes and dreams for a better world.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CCG Technologies Seminar: \"Discovery of New Molecular Entities: Opportunities and Challenges\"
DESCRIPTION:Natural products (NPs) are central to the history and landscape of new molecular entities (NMEs) for human medicinal agents. A rigorous assessment of all FDA-approved NMEs reveals that NPs and their derivatives represent over 50% of currently marketed drugs. However\, their representation has diminished over the past two decades\, in part because of technical hurdles associated with screening of natural products in high-throughput assays against molecular targets\, and the reoccurrence of previously reported metabolites in follow-up processes. Here\, I present innovative\, state-of-the-art strategies for discovery of NMEs and describe the recent technical advances that have significantly reduced the barriers to discovery of NMEs. I will also assess the use of new genomic-based approaches to augment traditional strategies for studying NPs using a case study from my research in antimicrobial drug discovery.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SynSem Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Fang Yuan will speak on \"The Copy-theoretic approach to Pivotal Constructions in Mandarin Chinese.\"\n\nAbstract\nThis study investigates the argument sharing problem in pivotal constructions in\nMandarin Chinese (hereafter called PCs). As shown in (1)\, the sentence permits more than one verb in a mono-clause without any markers of subordination or coordination. The pivot noun phrase NP 2 ta ‘he’ is regarded as both the theme of V 1 rang ‘let’ and the agent of VP 2 zuo baogao ‘make a report’. This phenomenon violates the bi-uniqueness requirement from the theta criterion\, causing the argument sharing problem.\n(1) NP 1 V 1 NP 2 VP 2\na. Lingdao rang ta zuo baogao.\nLeader let he make report ‘The leader asked him to make a report.’ To solve this problem in English control constructions\, the empty category\, PRO\, is proposed in GB. However\, the formulation of PRO has theoretical limitations\, and it faces more challenges in analyzing Chinese in which the finiteness and non-finiteness distinction remains disputable. Although the Movement Theory of Control eliminates some limitations of the control theory\, it does not solve the argument sharing problem because the theta criterion is disregarded. This paper aims at providing a derivational account of the argument sharing problem in PCs.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Interdisciplinary Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:Particulate flows are ubiquitous in environmental\, geophysical and engineering processes. The intricate dynamics of these two-phase flows is governed by momentum transfer between the continuous fluid phase and the dispersed particulate phase. When significant temperature differences exist between the fluid and particles and/or chemical reactions take place at the fluid/particle interfaces\, the phases also exchange heat and/or mass\, respectively. While some multi-phase processes may be successfully modeled at the continuum scale through closure approximations\, an increasing number of applications require resolution across scales\, e.g. dense suspensions\, fluidized beds. Within a multi-scale micro/meso/macro-framework\, we develop robust numerical models at the micro and meso scales\, based on a Distributed Lagrange Multiplier/Fictitious Domain method and a two-way Euler/Lagrange method\, respectively. Collisions between finite size particles are modeled with a Discrete Element Method. Many real-life processes and/or flows involve non-spherical particles. Although there is still a lot to learn about flows laden with spherical particles\, there is also a strong incentive to develop new modeling tools to account for non-spherical\, angular\, convex or even non-convex particles. We discuss assorted issues related to the numerical modeling of flows laden with particles of arbitrary shape. Along the way\, we also address high performance computing issues related to our massively parallel numerical tools and challenges to efficiently transfer knowledge from small scales to large scales. We illustrate the modeling capabilities of our tools on the two following problems relevant of applications from the chemical engineering and process industry: (i) a rotating drum filled with non-convex particles and (ii) fixed and fluidized beds of multilobic (and hence non-convex) particles.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry
DESCRIPTION:In Information Geometry one  studies  the geometric properties of a manifold equipped with a Riemannian metric g and an affine connection  D  which are related by an equation.\nThe pair (g\, D) arises from  a divergence on a  manifold. Thus Information Geometry has some  applications to statistics.   A more general divergence induces a Finsler metric and a spray satisfying an\nequation.\n\nIn my talk\, I will give an introduction  the basic theory of information structures on a manifold.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminar | Nnaturalness
DESCRIPTION:We present a new mechanism to stabilize the electroweak hierarchy. We introduce N copies of the Standard Model with varying values of the Higgs mass parameter. This generically yields a sector whose weak scale is parametrically removed from the cutoff by a factor of 1/√{N}. Ensuring that reheating deposits a majority of the total energy density into this lightest sector requires a modification of the standard cosmological history\, providing a powerful probe of the mechanism. Current and near-future experiments will explore much of the natural parameter space. Furthermore\, supersymmetric completions which preserve grand unification predict superpartners with mass below mW × Mpl / MGUT 〜 10 TeV.
