Lurie Carillon\, an instrument of 60 bells with the lowest bell (bourdon) weighing 6 tons.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Lurie Carillon every weekday that classes are in session. During these recitals\, visitors may take the elevator to level 2 to view the largest bells\, or to level 3 to see the carillonist performing. (Visitors subject to acrophobia are recommended to visit level 2 only.) An optional spiral stairway between levels 2 and 3 allows for up-close views of some of the largest bells.

However\, in the past two decades\, valuations have also gained prominence in the theory of matroids. As every matroid gives rise to a matroid polytope\, one can develop a theory of subdivisions and valuations for matroids. In this talk\, we'll introduce valuations on matroids and examine a result of Derksen and Fink which says that Schubert matroids are a basis for matroids modulo valuation.

How were they built? What were they used for? Are there unknown internal substructures\, perhaps hidden chambers that have yet to be discovered? Using the detector technology we developed for a particle physics experiment at Fermilab\, we intend to perform non-invasive searches for hidden structures at the Great Pyramid of Khufu\, in Egypt\, and at the Temple of Kukulkán at Chichén Itzá. The apparatus will detect cosmic-ray muons produced high in the atmosphere that course through the pyramids to produce a tomographic image of their interiors. I will review the status of both projects\, describe in detail the technique we intend to use\, present recent simulation results and detector fabrication and test-beam results.

What we are seeing is not only progress in individual separate areas of plasma physics and technology\, whether it is fusion\, astro/space\, materials or even biomedical applications\; but also growing interconnectivity among these areas.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Roald Sagdeev is a distinguished plasma physicist whose pioneering work in controlled fusion\, and space research has left a lasting impact on the field. Born in the Soviet Union\, he became one of the youngest full academicians of the USSR Academy of Sciences at the age of 35. From 1973 to 1988\, Dr. Sagdeev was director of the Soviet Space Research Institute\, where he played a crucial role in groundbreaking space missions\, including the Venera probes to Venus\, Vega mission to Halley’s Comet\, Phobos missions to Mars’ moons\, and the Soyuz-Apollo Test Project\, the first U.S.-Soviet space collaboration. His leadership helped advance international space cooperation during the Cold War. Dr. Sagdeev has been an influential voice in space policy and arms control. In 1990\, he moved to the United States and became a professor at the University of Maryland\, where he continued his research in plasma physics\, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)\, and international scientific collaboration. Dr. Sagdeev’s groundbreaking work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of plasma dynamics and space exploration\, cementing his legacy as one of the most influential figures in modern space science.

An odd prime p is called irregular if it divides the class number of the cyclotomic field Q(\mu_p). On the other hand\, there are so-called Bernoulli numbers which appear as special values of L-functions. Kummer proved that a prime is irregular if and only if it divides certain Bernoulli numbers. The Herbrand-Ribet theorem is a refinement of Kummer's criterion. Ribet's elegant proof weaves together different facets of number theory\, including modular forms\, Galois representations\, and class field theory. We will explain relevant notions in modular forms before focusing on the construction of Galois representations from cusp eigenforms.

Extreme weather consists of low-probability occurrences with high intensities that often devastate\nsociety\, the environment\, and the economy. Earthen infrastructure such as coastal dunes\, embankments\, and levees can be\ncompromised when their design and construction requirements do not consider the critical conditions they experience. Studies\nconducted using field investigations\, physical and numerical modeling\, and geospatial analysis provide insight into the\neffectiveness of instrumentation and remote sensing. Determining the limitations in data is necessary to frame the sustainable\nsolutions presented.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Spears is a Research Assistant Professor at Tennessee State University. Before earning her PhD in Civil\nGUEST SPEAKER\nEngineering at Jackson State University\, Dr. Spears earned her BSE and MSE in Civil Engineering from the University of\nMichigan and the University of Texas at Austin\, respectively. Following obtaining her master’s\, she worked in the civil\nengineering consulting industry. She also received her PE license in Civil/Geotechnical Engineering from the state of Michigan.\nDr. Spears’ research focuses on Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering to understand the impacts of extreme\nweather on earthen infrastructure and determine sustainable solutions. She has conducted local\, state-wide\, and international\nresearch. As a Detroit native and alum of Michigan Engineering's former Summer Engineering Academy pre-collegiate\nprograms\, M-Engin Academy\, NSBE\, LSAMP\, ASCE\, Alternative Spring Break – Chicago\, Novice Women's Rowing\, and former\nMustard Seed Campus Ministry\, Dr. Spears takes Michigan's legacy with her wherever she goes.

DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I present the results of my last paper related to viscosity solutions for HJB equations posed on networks\, of second order type and non degenerate at the vertex. The key point is to use the new boundary condition at the junction point\, called: nonlinear local-time Kirchhoff's boundary condition\, and build test functions with local-time derivatives absorbing the: Kirchhoff's speed of the Hamiltonians. Note that even without the presence of the external local-time variable in the HJB problems already studied in the literature\, the ‘artificial’ introduction of this deterministic local-time variable\, allowed an answer to a Lions-Souganidis problem to the fully nonlinear and non degenerate framework. Finally\, it is important also to emphasize that the comparison theorem for viscosity solutions is stated here in the strong sense for the Kirchhoff’s boundary condition\, namely without any dependency of the values of the Hamiltonians at the boundary\, which is also innovative for Neumann problems in the nonlinear case for viscosity theory.

The complexity of this ecosystem is heightened by its reliance on multimodal data from diverse sources\, demanding robust methods for data integration\, processing\, and analysis. This framework underscores two pivotal components: Biomedical Semantics and Data Intelligence. In my research\, I have actively engaged in these two critical steps\, striving to develop solutions that bridge the gap between data science and tangible clinical and biomedical impacts. Overcoming these challenges necessitates the development of advanced informatics techniques\, including strategies for data standardization and integration\, as well as methods for knowledge representation and subsequent inference and analysis.

This question has a positive answer when varieties are smooth or simple normal crossing\, and a negative answer in more general cases. The emphasis will be on the structure of the Grothendieck ring of varieties and on the groups of birational self-maps of algebraic varieties. This will be an overview of the work of many people in the last 25 years since Gromov's original formulation\, including Larsen-Lunts\, Borisov\, Zakharevich\, Hassett-Lai\, Kontsevich-Tschinkel\, and most recently\, work by Lin and myself.
