SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Threads of Maize and Blue
DESCRIPTION:The benefits of a University of Michigan education are documented\nwith numerous examples of relationships\, events\, and projects encountered during a career in the oil and gas industry.  Ultra -deep onshore and offshore fields in the United States were found and developed by teams of scientists using the latest in integrated discipline and computer technology.  International business opportunities were enhanced by working with Michigan alumni from the country under consideration for investment.\nThe values of integrity\, co-operation\, service\, team dynamics\, and leadership applied in one’s career and life are sharpened as part of a university education.  Lifelong impacts of a University of Michigan education are many and rewarding.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biophysics Seminar: Elizabeth Gichana and Marcos Núñez\, Biophysics Ph.D. Candidates
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Gichana:\n\nTitle:  \"Investigating the influence of sequence of the folding mechanism of RNaseH using a structure based model\"\n\n Abstract: \nThere are two major sources of frustration in a protein folding – energetic and topological. Energy landscape theory posits that main-chain topology is the major determinant in the folding mechanism of a protein. What is less well understood is the role that sequence effects play. To gain insight into this challenging problem\, we utilize ancestral sequences reconstructed along mesophilic and thermophilic lineages of ribonuclease H (RNaseH) leading back to a common ancestor. This family of proteins share function and topology and have high sequence homology but differ in their biophysical properties. We investigate the role that variation in sequence over these evolutionary timescales alters the energy landscape of RNaseH to give rise to these differences by employing coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations using a structure-based Go-like model to investigate folding mechanisms.\n \nand \n\nMarcos Núñez : \n\nTitle: Visualizing phase-like domains in B cell plasma membranes using super-resolution microscopy\n\nAbstract: Protein sorting based on liquid-ordered (Lo) or liquid-disordered (Ld) phase preference is readily observed in giant plasma membrane vesicles (GPMVs) at low temperatures but is not as easily detected in the intact cells from which they are derived. Here we utilize two-color super-resolution microscopy in combination with cross-correlation analysis to quantify the sorting of two minimal inner leaflet anchored-peptides proximal to clusters of cholera toxin B subunit (CTxB) in chemically fixed CH27 B cells. We find that the local density of a Lo-partitioning peptide is increased while the local density of an Ld-partitioning peptide is reduced in the vicinity of CTxB clusters when compared to the average density of peptides on the cell surface. This alongside other experimental results supports the hypothesis that intact cell plasma membranes can contain lipid domains which resemble Lo and Ld phases. In this talk\, I will discuss my efforts to make this measurement more quantitative by surveying different fluorescent probes and CTxB clustering conditions so that I can compare the magnitude of partitioning in response to different physical perturbations.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Journal Club
DESCRIPTION:In the last few months\, there has a been a fair bit of discussion on Phonolist (an email newsletter/blog about all things phonological) about gender representation at conferences\, with a specific focus on presenters and question askers. Although this discussion is specifically about phonology conferences\, it speaks to a topic that is relevant in linguistics (and academia) more broadly. We'll read a few of the very short and interesting blog entries on this topic from Phonolist.\n\nSince these are short pieces\, I'm also suggesting that you look at the most recent report by the LSA about the State of Linguistics in Higher Ed. This report contains a lot of interesting information\, but particularly relevant for our meeting on Friday\, it contains information about the gender participation in the field. Some of the pages with the most relevant information on this topic include: 7\, 10\, 11\, 12\, 15.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a method for estimating a subspace given noisy samples. It is useful in a variety of problems ranging from dimensionality reduction to anomaly detection and the visualization of high dimensional data. PCA performs well in the presence of moderate noise and even with missing data\, but is also sensitive to outliers. PCA is also known to have a phase transition when noise is independent and identically distributed\; recovery of the subspace sharply declines at a threshold noise variance. Effective use of PCA requires a rigorous understanding of these behaviors. This paper provides a step towards an analysis of PCA for samples with heteroscedastic noise\, that is\, samples that have non-uniform noise variances and so are no longer identically distributed. In particular\, we provide a simple asymptotic prediction of the recovery of a one-dimensional subspace from noisy heteroscedastic samples. The prediction enables: a) easy and efficient calculation of the asymptotic performance\, and b) qualitative reasoning to understand how PCA is impacted by heteroscedasticity (such as outliers).
