SUMMARY:Other:Aromatic Ions for the Design of Organocatalysts
DESCRIPTION:Our group is exploring the use of aromatic ions in catalysis.  With this program\, we are seeking to develop broadly applicable paradigms for substrate activation that capitalize on the unique reactivity of ionic aromatic motifs.  This lecture will focus on our development of cyclopropenimines as a highly effective platform for enantioselective Bronsted base catalysis and pentacarboxycyclopentadienes (PCCPs) as a new class of enantioselective Bronsted acid catalysts.Tristan Lambert\, Columbia\,

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: We use structural estimates of time preferences to customize incentives for a sample of polio vaccinators during a series of door-to-door immunization drives in Pakistan. Our investigation proceeds in three stages. First\, we measure time preferences using intertemporal allocations of vaccinations. Second\, we derive the mapping between these structural estimates and individually optimal incentives given a specific policy objective.  Third\, we experimentally evaluate the effect of matching contract terms to individual discounting patterns in a subsequent experiment with the same vaccinators. This exercise provides a test of the specific point predictions given by structural estimates of time preference. We document present bias among vaccinators and find that tailored contracts achieve the intended policy objective of smoothing intertemporal allocations of effort. The benefits of customized incentives\, in terms of achieving the policy objective\, are largest for vaccinators allocating when present bias is relevant to the decision.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar with Dr. David Pfennig\, UNC
DESCRIPTION:One of biology’s most significant unresolved problems is to understand how novel\, complex traits originate and subsequently diversify. A growing number of biologists have begun to ask whether environmentally initiated phenotypic change – developmental plasticity – precedes\, and even facilitates\, evolutionary innovation and diversification. However\, this “plasticity first” hypothesis remains controversial\, primarily because comprehensive tests from natural populations are generally lacking. In my talk\, I’ll briefly describe the plasticity-first hypothesis\, present much-needed key criteria to allow tests in diverse natural systems\, and discuss tests of these criteria using natural populations of spadefoot toads. Generally\, developmental plasticity might play an underappreciated role in adaptive evolution.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/caZ_Z36-GbA

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Statistics Seminar: Identifiability and Estimation of Restricted Latent Class Models with Binary Responses
DESCRIPTION:Statistical latent class models are widely used in social and psychological researches\, yet it is often difficult to establish the identifiability of the model parameters. This talk will focus on a class of restricted latent class models with binary responses. This class of models have recently gained great interests in psychological and educational measurement\, psychiatry and many other research areas\, where a classification-based decision needs to be made about an individual’s latent traits\, based on his or her observed responses. The model parameters are usually restricted via a pre-specified latent structure matrix to reflect the diagnostic assumptions on the latent traits. In this talk\, I will first give an introduction to such restricted latent class models\, followed by discussions on key issues and challenges. I will then present some fundamental identifiability results and specify which types of the structure matrices would ensure the estimability of the model parameters. These identifiability conditions not only lead to the consistency and asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimators\, but also provide a guideline for the related experimental design\, whereas in the current applications the design is usually experience based and identifiability may not be guaranteed.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Historicizing Anna Karenina: Divorce\, High Society\, and Imperial Politics
DESCRIPTION:Focusing on the evolution of Anna Karenina’s plotlines\, this talk seeks to identify a number of turning points in the four-year course of the novel’s writing. It revisits the historical reality of that time to uncover the origins of Tolstoy’s anxiety about the 1876 outburst of Pan-Slavism in Russia. The theme of high society and the motif of divorce serve as a guide to understanding Tolstoy’s interest – still keen even on the eve of his larger existential quest – in capturing the zesty minutiae of\ncontemporaneous political and cultural life. Thus\, the question of why Anna and Vronsky are exposed to such severe public opprobrium\, when similar unmarried couples in real life might well have been treated more leniently\, can be approached from the perspective of the imperial court’s politics.\n\nMikhail Dolbilov is an associate professor of history at the University of Maryland\, College Park.
