SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Frequency Fridays: Tape Loop Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop walks you through the steps to make looping cassettes tapes. Drop in anytime between 2 and 3pm.\n\nYou'll be supplied with some tools/instruments to create sounds\, and instructed in techniques for creating tape loops by disassembling the case\, cutting and splicing the tape\, and reassembling the cases to create looping cassettes that you can take home with you.\n\nFrequency Fridays is a weekly media workshop series\, every Friday from 2-3pm in the Design Lab PIE Space on the first floor of Shapiro. Workshops will feature instruction in music production\, video editing\, sound design\, motion graphics\, and more. All skill levels welcome.\n\nIf you have questions about Frequency Fridays\, please reach out to alvin hill\, the library's Media Production Specialist\, at munk@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:T.REX
DESCRIPTION:With stunning CGI visuals and the latest research from leading paleontologists\, the film offers audiences a fresh perspective on the GOAT (Greatest Of All Tyrants): Tyrannosaurus rex. Anchored by the true story of the young fossil hunters who made the discovery of a lifetime when they spotted a large fossilized leg bone on a walk on public lands in North Dakota\, T. REX intercuts the remarkable fossil dig\, with cutting edge computer graphics that bring the iconic T. rex to life—from hatchling to hulking adult. Narrated by Jurassic Park actor Sam Neill\, T. REX explores the newest science that has helped reinvent our understanding of the iconic predator.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:On Fox’s trapezoidal conjecture (Combinatorics Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Fox’s trapezoidal conjecture from 1962 states that the absolute values of the coefficients of the Alexander polynomial of alternating links form a trapezoidal sequence. Stoimenow strengthened Fox’s conjecture to log-concavity (without internal zeros) in 2005. Fox’s conjecture remains open in general with special cases settled by Hartley (1979) for two-bridge knots\, by Murasugi (1985) for a family of algebraic alternating links\, and Ozsvath and Szabo (2003) for genus 2 alternating knots\, among others. We will show how to prove Fox’s conjecture for special alternating links by lifting the Alexander polynomials of these links to\"nice” multivariate polynomials with 0\,1 coefficients. The terms of the lift correspond to integer points of a generalized permutahedron\, allowing for an application of the theory of Lorentzian polynomials developed by Branden and Huh (2019). This talk is based on joint works with Hafner and Vidinas.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Who and How? Adverse Selection and Flexible Moral Hazard (by Henrique Castro-Pires\, Deniz Kattwinkel\, and Jan Knoepfle)
DESCRIPTION:We characterize incentive compatible mechanisms in environments with hidden types and flexible hidden actions. Our approach introduces extended recommendation schedules that specify prescribed actions also off-path\, after misreports. This approach yields a tractable and complete characterization of incentive compatibility\, which includes a generalized integral monotonicity condition capturing the interaction between adverse selection and moral hazard. We demonstrate the usefulness of the characterization across a range of contracting problems.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Particle Mechanics Applications to Hazards in Civil Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Many of the natural hazards that threaten infrastructure and communities are driven by particulate interactions and particle kinematics. Land surface hazards like landslides and earthquake surface rupture occur in particulate systems of sands and rocks. Coastal scour and erosion occur one grain of sand at a time. Even wildfire spread into communities at the wildland urban interface occurs through the wind-driven flow of millions of discrete firebrand particles. This presentation will showcase how our research group represents various hazards as fundamentally discontinuous particulate systems using the discrete element method (DEM). DEM uses relatively simple contact physics to model how discrete particles interact and the motions of these particles resulting from their interactions. With the aid of modern high-performance computing systems\, we model discontinuous systems composed of millions of discrete particles\, including particles of irregular shape and size to elucidate how these factors affect the macroscopic properties traditionally used to characterize material behaviors in constitutive models. Our simulations show how with simple boundary conditions\, we can replicate complex mechanics of landslide runout\, shear rupture propagation through soil\, and firebrand accumulation in simulations validated not only on laboratory experiments but also on observed case histories. Our virtual experiments advance the understanding of natural hazards in a broad range of fields including civil engineering\, mechanics\, geology\, and seismology. \n\nContact:  Silas Alben
