At its simplest it is a rectangular piece of cloth\, at its most elegant it is a beautiful skirt made of different colors\, textures\, and patterns. Whine\, Werk\, and Roll: the Art of the Lapa celebrates this utilitarian object of beauty and the craftsmanship of the men and women who sew their seams.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728290@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190115T140953 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190219T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190219T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paved with Good Intentions DESCRIPTION:In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work\, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole\, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image\, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.\n\nThe installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video\, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired\, in part\, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s \"Flying Circus\" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.\n\nAbout David Opdyke:\nDavid Opdyke is a draughtsman\, sculptor\, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady\, NY in 1969\, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up\, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna\, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive\, decaying factories\, an empty interstate loop\, and unemployment were downtown\; new streets\, expensive homes\, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.\n\nFor 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations\, his artwork explores globalization\, consumerism\, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908112@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190206T092132 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190219T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190219T113000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Informal methods talk/roundtable: Current issues in computational neuroimaging of brain function DESCRIPTION:.

Dr. Fariss uses computational methods and the statistical program R to study why governments around the world torture\, maim\, and kill individuals within their jurisdiction\, and the processes monitors use to observe and document these abuses. Other research projects cover a broad array of themes but share a focus on computationally intensive methods\, research design\, and the analysis of data at a massive scale. \n\nThis weekly meeting with Dr. Fariss is for those with an interest in the R statistical programming language. Both beginners and experienced users are invited to attend. Dr. Fariss plans to introduce mostly introductory material during these sessions but will also cover Bayesian modeling in R and STAN.\n\nThe goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate\, hackers need to bring their own laptops and\, ideally\, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda UID:59587-14754481@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59587 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition,immigration LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190205T092145 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190219T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190219T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EER - Work-in-Progress: \"Open\" Research Study Advising DESCRIPTION:Round table open discussion.

The 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak in West Africa alone took over ten thousand lives despite international aid nearing $5 billion from 70 countries. In retrospect\, the declaration of the Public Health Emergency of International Concern came late\, over 4 months after the first international transmission event. These apparent systemic failures likely reflect the fact that emergent epidemics are incredibly difficult to predict. The last decade saw Ebola emerge in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2018\, 2017\, 2014 and 2012\, as well as Uganda in 2007\, but these previous outbreaks never exceeded a few hundred cases\, compared to nearly 30\,000 cases in the West African epidemic. \n\nA key problem is that the dynamics of emergent epidemics are shaped in large part by societal and behavioral factors\, which are all highly variable. We will discuss these behavioral factors using stories from local communities\, contact tracing\, genomic data\, and reports from the most extensive social mobilization effort to date. All of these distinct data sources influence how we use and interpret models from epidemiology\, network theory and collective behavior. Slowly but surely\, this synergy data sources and modeling approaches should pave the way for a new approach to epidemiology.

A few months later she “became insane” and “unable to work.” In 2016\, Sherry Richburg’s leg was amputated after a prison physician denied her access to antibiotics. Mary and Sherry exemplify the historical abuses of the prison health care system and its mistreatment of black female patients. The medical lives of black women in America's jails and prisons is the focus of this presentation.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER:\n\nTalitha LeFlouria is the Lisa Smith Discovery Associate Professor in African and African-American Studies at the University of Virginia and an Andrew Carnegie Fellow.

Donahue will discuss some of the major Trump Administration deregulatory actions in which he and his colleagues are involved: proposed repeal of Clean Power Plan and revision of carbon dioxide standards for new power plants\; rollbacks of greenhouse gas emissions standards and fuel economy standards for motor vehicles and withdrawal of California’s authority to adopt and enforce separate greenhouse gas standards\, and EPA’s proposed finding that Clean Air Act that regulation of mercury and other hazardous air pollutants from power plants is not appropriate or necessary. Donahue will address recurring legal issues and practical challenges involved in litigating such cases\, some cross-cutting features of the Trump Administration’s deregulatory efforts in the environmental area\, and what to look for as the Administration’s major initiatives move from agency rulemaking to the courts. While dealing with complex administrative law questions and daunting health and environmental hazards\, the talk may be punctuated by moments of uplifting humor and cautious optimism.

Macdonald\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Aerospace Engineering & Mechanics Department\, University of Minnesota\n\nThe gas flow around a hypersonic vehicle involves many different physical phenomena occurring on a broad range of time and length scales. In particular\, non-equilibrium chemistry directly affects the heat transfer to the vehicle. The conventional approach to model chemical non-equilibrium was developed nearly 40 years ago and relies heavily on calibration with heritage experimental data. Recent advances in both computational chemistry and computational resources have enabled the construction of extremely detailed models for the chemical non-equilibrium effects based on ab initio quantum chemistry data\, called the state-to-state (StS) approach. Unfortunately\, due to their enormous cost StS calculations can only be used in highly simplified test cases. This motivates the development of reduced order models for chemical non-equilibrium. The model reduction framework proposed is based on the maximum-entropy principle\, and leverages quasi-classical trajectory (i.e.\, atomistic) calculations to compute n-moment kinetic data for a reduced set of molecular states\, thus providing the crucial link between the ab initio quantum chemistry data and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The talk covers the key aspects involved in model development\, namely: the model reduction framework\, the use of scattering calculations to integrate the ab initio data\, and the application of the model to CFD.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nDr. Robyn Macdonald received her B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2013. In December 2018\, she successfully defended her PhD thesis with her work titled “Reduced-order model framework for thermochemical non-equilibrium hypersonic flows”. Her PhD research focused on the development of quantum chemistry informed reduced order models for thermochemical non-equilibrium hypersonic flows. She is currently a post-doctoral research fellow at the Computational Hypersonics Research Lab at the University of Minnesota studying turbulence in hypersonic flows. Dr. Macdonald is recipient of National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship (2015)\; and her post-doctoral research is supported by the President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (2018). During her PhD she received a number of awards: including the NASA Space Technology Research Fellowship (declined to accept NDSEG)\, Zonta Amelia Earhart Fellowship (declined to accept NDSEG)\, and AE Faculty Outstanding Graduate Student Award from the department of Aerospace Engineering at UIUC. In addition\, her work on reduced order models for thermochemical non-equilibrium\, first presented at the AIAA Aviation Forum 2017\, was awarded the Weaver Thermophysics Best Student Paper Award from AIAA as well as selected as Editor’s Pick when published in the Journal of Chemical Physics.

Making a New Europe: A Transnational Ethnography of Far-right Activism DESCRIPTION:Contemporary far-right activists in Europe are often portrayed as anti-European. Given that “Bruxelles” is one of their chief enemies\, such a portrayal might seem legitimate. The far-right critique of the European Union\, however\, ought not to be read as a simple rejection of Europe. Numerous far-right groups represent themselves as Europe’s defenders\, faithful “believers” and “practitioners” of the “true” – white\, Christian – Europe\, and consider the EU to be their Europe’s enemy. \n \nBased on ethnographic fieldwork among far-right activists in Italy\, Poland\, and Hungary\, Pasieka examines how far-right actors conceptualize regional and national sovereignty vis-à-vis a broader European context\; how they perceive individual\, civic\, and social rights\; and how they relate those to the widely debated issues of migration and multicultural diversity. Her multi-sited ethnography sheds much needed light on the challenges far-right movements and parties address\, and the reasons why they are increasingly compelling to many. \n \nAgnieszka Pasieka holds an M.A. in sociology (Jagiellonian University\, Kraków) and a Ph.D. in social anthropology (Martin Luther University\, Halle). Her first monograph\, \"Hierarchy and Pluralism: Living Religious Difference in Catholic Poland\" (Palgrave 2015)\, discussed the situation of religious and ethnic minorities in the context of church-state relations in Poland. She was a fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology\, Halle (2007-11)\; the Institute for Human Sciences\, Vienna (2011-12)\; the Polish Academy of Sciences (2012-15)\; and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow at the University of Vienna (2015-18). Currently she is Elise Richter Research Fellow at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology\, University of Vienna\, where she carries out a research project entitled \"Living right: an anthropological study of far-right activism.\" UID:59373-14734949@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59373 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,European,International,Multicultural,Politics LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 110 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190107T102136 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190219T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190219T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Africa Workshop “Get Along without It”: Contested Domestic Desires in Imperial Sudan DESCRIPTION:In recent scholarship and past imperial logic\, the colonial marital home has stood as a symbol of civility\, stability\, and imperial order. However\, a close examination of British civil servants’ domestic desires and relationships in Sudan reveal domesticity as a site of instability and persistent negotiation. Never formally declared a colony\, Sudan’s marginal position within the British Empire resulted\, in turn\, in a marginalization of domestic desires\, which were hidden\, ignored\, or relegated to “back-home” in England. Working with an expanded understanding of “domestic\,” this paper traces complex and contested intimacies through a homosocial culture of bachelors\, shifting relationships with Sudanese household help\, and a generous yet disruptive annual leave policy. It reanimates the experiences of male and female civil servants\, recasting them from fixed models of state power and instead recognizing their much more vulnerable position as desiring subjects in search of domestic care and comforts.\n\n\nMarie Grace Brown (B.A.\, Bryn Mawr College\; Ph.D.\, University of Pennsylvania) is an Associate Professor of Middle East History at the University of Kansas. Her award-winning first book\, Khartoum at Night: Fashion and Body Politics in Imperial Sudan (Stanford University Press\, 2017)\, argues that Sudanese women used fashion and their bodies to mark and make meaning of the shifting sociopolitical systems of imperial rule. Before her career in academia\, Brown worked at a nonprofit providing legal assistance to immigrant women fleeing gender-based violence. Her research has been supported by grants and fellowships from the American Association of University Women\, the Social Science Research Council\, and the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation.

Current methods reduce nitrogen to ammonia at high temperatures and pressures. This seminar will discuss our research into low-temperature nitrogen fixation\, as well as new mechanisms that lead to organic products from nitrogen. One of our strategies borrows from the natural enzyme\, nitrogenase\, which uses an unusual iron-sulfur cluster whose atomic-level mechanism is mysterious. This motivates the development of iron-sulfur complexes with unusual shapes\, and study of their interactions with nitrogen and other nitrogenase substrates. Another strategy involves low-coordinate iron coordination compounds\, which display new mechanisms for breaking the N-N bond of nitrogen. Studies on low-valent iron compounds have led to the first example of converting nitrogen and arenes directly into aniline products. \n \n \n \n \nPat Holland (Yale University) UID:55303-13716036@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CHEM CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190128T135123 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190219T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190219T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UROP Workshop - Creating Posters with PowerPoint DESCRIPTION:Student registration through the TTC required:\nThis workshop is designed for those students whose research projects require PowerPoint.

The 2018 Winter Olympic Games offers a useful occasion through which this complexity of Korean nationalism can be examined. I observed at least four distinctive discourses on Korean identity being displayed via the winter sporting competition: pan Korean ethno-nationalism\, South Korean state patriotism\, post-colonialism\, and cosmopolitanism. Some of these nationalist views are mutually exclusive\, and this situation gave rise to the tensions and divisions between political parties and pressure groups in South Korea during the sports mega-event. This indicates that the characteristics of Korean nationalism are constantly in flux\, and each nationalist ideology is continually campaigning for securing a dominant position in Korean culture and politics. This also suggests that it is necessary to consider the intersection between primodialism and constructionism\, and between civic and organic national identities in order to draw a more accurate picture of the spectrum of Korean nationalism today. It that sense\, I argue that sport is not simply a physical contest between athletes but more importantly is a field of the hegemonic struggle between adherents of different nationalism. \n \nJung Woo Lee is Programme Director of MSc Sport Policy\, Management and International Development\, and Lecturer in Sport and Leisure Policy at the University of Edinburgh\, United Kingdom.

She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728291@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190115T140953 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paved with Good Intentions DESCRIPTION:In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work\, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole\, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image\, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.\n\nThe installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video\, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired\, in part\, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s \"Flying Circus\" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.\n\nAbout David Opdyke:\nDavid Opdyke is a draughtsman\, sculptor\, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady\, NY in 1969\, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up\, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna\, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive\, decaying factories\, an empty interstate loop\, and unemployment were downtown\; new streets\, expensive homes\, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.\n\nFor 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations\, his artwork explores globalization\, consumerism\, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908113@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190214T094905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with SRC faculty Erin Ware DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ware is a self-taught HPC user and excited to host a weekly hackerspace from February 13 to April 3\, 2019. Her training has been in genetic epidemiology\, public health\, and statistics using SAS (local)\, R (server)\, Linux (on FLUX\, MBNI\, and other personal servers)\, batch scripting (SGE\, PBS\, Slurm). Dr. Ware has taught SAS (data management and statistical modeling) and introductory statistics using R. She is experienced in teaching high performance computing to individuals with limited programming background. \n\nIn this hackerspace\, Dr. Ware is particularly interested in addressing issues of data manipulation in Linux\, efficient documentation and file naming structures\, data management (SAS/R)\, setting up an HPC connection\, WinSCP\, getting around a server using basic Linux\, genomic analysis\, and high-dimensional data analysis. Dr. Ware would like to learn about SFTP using Globus\, Python\, and more advanced batch scripting in Slurm.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda UID:59587-14754482@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59587 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition,immigration LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190116T161517 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T120000 SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:Schokoladenstunde DESCRIPTION:Schokoladenstunde will take place in the comfy seating area between the two computer classrooms in the Language Resource Center.

Our ability to effectively care for our patients with NS is hampered by a limited understanding of its underlying molecular mechanisms. Major progress has been made through the discovery of more than 50 single-gene causes of NS. But altogether these explain less than 15% of cases in the U.S. To gain a more complete picture of the genetic architecture of NS\, we need to go beyond Mendelian gene discovery. In this seminar\, I will present work done by our group to achieve this goal\, with a particular focus on unique opportunities that result from integrating genome-scale omics datasets with deep phenotypic data in the longitudinal NEPTUNE NS cohort.

Having learned to exert nearly complete control over single atoms\, what are the new frontiers? One direction is to now exert similar levels of control over the interactions and correlations between atoms\, with examples including quantum computing with trapped ions\, quantum many-body simulations in degenerate atomic gases\, and the deterministic assembly of molecules. Our lab has been asking the question: is it also possible to exploit atom-atom correlations and entanglement to advance the field of precision measurement beyond the single-atom paradigm that dominates the field? Using laser-cooled and trapped rubidium and strontium atoms inside of high finesse optical cavities\, we have explored this question along two fronts by surpassing the standard quantum limit on quantum phase estimation by a factor of 60 and overcoming thermal limits on laser frequency stability. If time permits\, I will also discuss the emergence of spin-exchange interactions between atoms mediated by the optical cavity. Possible future impacts include robust millihertz linewidth optical lasers\, advanced optical lattice clocks\, and searches for new physics.\n UID:61223-15054306@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61223 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190208T103032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Panel. Human Rights in North Korea: Crimes Against Humanity\, Advocacy for Change\, and Future Prospects DESCRIPTION:As negotiations for denuclearization continues between the US and North Korea\, the severe state of human rights situations in North Korea has again been de-emphasized by the international community. Yet the persecution of real or imagined dissenters continue\, as do the systematic human rights abuses of the Kim regime\, which has been classified by the United Nations as crimes against humanity. Activists in South Korea and abroad have advocated for these concerns to be given top priority but those calls have largely been unheeded by leaders engaging with North Korea. What exactly is happening in North Korea\, what kinds of activism has emerged to address these concerns\, and what might be the ways forward to improve the lives of the North Korean people? This panel features three prominent experts of human rights in North Korea who will share their perspectives on these questions as a legal expert\, an NGO advocate\, and a defector who survived one of North Korea’s infamous prison camps\, respectively.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\, International Policy Center\, Law School\, and Nam Center for Korean Studies.\n \n Panelists: \n \n Kang Cheol Hwan \n Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors\, North Korea Strategy Center \n\nKang Cheol Hwan is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of North Korea Strategy Center U.S.\, Inc. and the founder of North Korea Strategy Center (“NKSC”) in Seoul\, South Korea. Mr. Kang is a journalist\, author\, and North Korean defector. Born in 1968 in Pyongyang\, North Korea\, at the age of nine\, he and his entire family were imprisoned in the Yodok concentration camp by the government of dictator Kim Il Sung after Kang’s grandfather was accused of treason. For ten years\, Mr. Kang was subjected to the brutal conditions of the camp\, where he and some members of his family endured starvation\, torture\, and the threat of execution. After he was released from the camp\, Mr. Kang bought an illegal radio receiver to listen to broadcasts from South Korea. In 1992\, he made the decision to defect and escaped North Korea by crossing the Yalu River into China\, eventually immigrating to South Korea. In 2000\, he published “The Aquariums of Pyongyang\,” a description of his experiences and the very first survivor account of North Korea’s concentration camps. Mr. Kang is a staff writer for the South Korean newspaper\, the Chosun Ilbo. In 2003\, he was awarded the National Endowment for Democracy’s “Democracy Award” and in 2006\, he was selected as one of Times’ “Asian Heroes”. After years of North Korean human rights activism\, Mr. Kang came to the conclusion that expecting change from the North Korean government was not feasible. Without change and enlightenment of the North Korean people\, without bridging the gap between the two Koreas\, peaceful unification is not possible. Based on this belief\, in 2007\, Mr. Kang founded NKSC with the goals of disseminating uncensored information in North Korea\, empowering North Korean defectors to become advocates of democracy\, and raising awareness on North Korean human rights issues. \n \n Jared Genser \n Managing Director\, Perseus Strategies \n \nJared Genser is Managing Director of Perseus Strategies\, a public interest law firm.

But one instance in centuries-long history of Black people in Germany\, “Milli” remains silent\, speaking volumes about how Black women have been reduced to anonymous objects of desire. Milli’s awakening seeks to intervene in this history\, by bringing together the voices of eight Black German women of different generations. Through their artistic practices they have defined self-determined positions within white German mainstream society. Like a quilt\, the film unfolds in a way reflecting the diversity and interwoven nature of these (hi)stories.\n\nThe German Film Series begins with a light dinner at 6:30 pm followed by introduction of the screening at 7:00 pm. **Screened in German with English subtitles. With Q&A in English with director Natasha Kelly following the film.

A few years later\, in 1391\, Martínez’s threat became reality when hundreds of Seville’s Jews were massacred during a violent riot\, and the community’s synagogues were destroyed or converted into churches. How were Seville’s Jews able to construct many new houses of worship in the city\, dodging secular and ecclesiastical prohibitions? Why did synagogues become the focal point of Martínez’s anti-Jewish campaign? The talk will attempt to answer these questions while examining Jewish life in the kingdom of Castile just before the tragic events of 1391 changed it forever. \n\nIf you have a disability that requires an accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at judaicstudies@umich.edu or 734-763-9047.

Within this music are the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions. The group borrows heavily from a traditional music called isicathamiya (is-cot-a-ME-Ya)\, which developed in the mines of South Africa\, where black workers were taken by rail to work far away from their homes and their families. Assembled in the early 1960s in South Africa by Joseph Shabalala\, then a young farm boy turned factory worker\, the group took the name Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Ladysmith is the name of Joseph’s hometown\, about three hours west of Durban and three hours east of Johannesburg\; Black being a reference to the oxen\, the strongest of all farm animals\; and Mambazo being the Zulu word for chopping axe\, a symbol of the group’s ability to \"chop down\" any singing rival who might challenge them. A radio broadcast in 1970 opened the door to their first record contract—the beginning of an ambitious discography that currently includes more than 50 recordings (including Paul Simon's \"Graceland\") and has earned three Grammy awards UID:58005-14390318@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58005 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190220T145803 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:University Philharmonia Orchestra DESCRIPTION:Kenneth Kiesler\, director of orchestras\nOriol Sans\, associate director of orchestras\n\nThis annual concert of new works by student composers\, led by student conductors\, and played by student musicians is often one of the most inspiring concerts of the year.

Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728292@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190115T140953 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paved with Good Intentions DESCRIPTION:In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work\, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole\, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image\, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.\n\nThe installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video\, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired\, in part\, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s \"Flying Circus\" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.\n\nAbout David Opdyke:\nDavid Opdyke is a draughtsman\, sculptor\, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady\, NY in 1969\, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up\, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna\, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive\, decaying factories\, an empty interstate loop\, and unemployment were downtown\; new streets\, expensive homes\, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.\n\nFor 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations\, his artwork explores globalization\, consumerism\, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

The expansion of the electrical grid cascades out into the engine\, where the generators extract power from. This dissertation develops advanced predictive control strategies that account for the interactions between the subsystems in order to enable the potential benefits of a More Electric Aircraft (MEA)\, such as improved efficiency and reliability. \n\nFirst\, models representing the engine and power subsystems of the MEA\, including their interactions\, are developed. The control objective in this MEA system is to actuate the engine and power subsystem inputs to satisfy demands for thrust and power loads while enforcing constraints on compressor surge\nand bus voltage deviations. \n\nSecond\, model predictive control (MPC) strategies incorporating disturbance rejection\, coordination between the subsystems\, and anticipation of the changes in the power loads are shown to be effective in the MEA.\n\nThird\, a Distributed MPC is formulated that accounts for separately developed subsystems through controller privacy and differences in update rates.\n\nFinally\, a Scenario Based MPC is proposed to handle stochastic transitions in the thrust and power load references.

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908114@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180815T104044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda UID:59587-14754483@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59587 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition,immigration LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190215T162521 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T123000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ChE Seminar Series: Maciek Antoniewicz DESCRIPTION:Centennial Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering\nUniversity of Delaware\n\nABSTRACT\n“Towards a Holistic Understanding of Cellular Metabolism”\n\nMeasuring intracellular fluxes by 13C metabolic flux analysis (13C-MFA) has become a key activity in metabolic engineering\, biotechnology and medicine. Here\, I will present important new advances that have extended the scope of this technology to more complex biological systems\, including dynamic\, interacting\, and evolving systems. One of the key 13C-MFA technical advances that was pioneered in our lab centers on the use of parallel labeling experiments for metabolic pathway discovery. In this presentation\, I will describe several surprising new metabolic pathways that we have discovered in central carbon metabolism in microbes\, including E. coli\, as well as mammalian cells using this new powerful technology. These metabolic pathways have been ”hidden” from our view so far because they cannot be estimated using traditional experiments. Only through the use of carefully selected tracers and parallel labeling experiments are we able to visualize these pathways. Applications in cancer medicine\, phermaceutical production\, and synthetic biology will be discussed.

In this sense Tokyo prefers Trump’s type of leadership to Obama’s. However\, as the U.S.-China relations become confrontational\, Japan has to make sure that they will not spill over to itself. Trade war between Washington and Beijing will affect Japanese trade and eventually its economy. Military tensions in the South China Sea may prevent Japan’s vital trading route from safe use. China is conducting “smile diplomacy” for Japan and is trying to drive a wedge between Japan and the United States. Japan should sustain the strong alliance with the United States in this triangular relationship.\n\nPresident of the Research Institute for Peace and Security\, which he assumed in 2006.

If you’re interested in doing this as well please let me know. {smiley face emoji}.” What began as a Facebook group\, turned into an army of volunteers in a matter of weeks. The massive nonpartisan citizen campaign\, now named Voters Not Politicians\, gathered over 400\,000 signatures to put redistricting reform on the Michigan ballot. The ballot initiative sought to create an independent commission to determine voting districts in Michigan. Michigan voters overwhelmingly approved the ballot measure in November 2018. The success of Fahey’s campaign has made it a model for anti-gerrymandering campaigns—and citizen organizing—across the nation. As Tina Rosenberg wrote in the New York Times\, “If you doubt that a private citizen can make a difference\, meet Fahey.”\n\nRSVP REQUIRED: https://myumi.ch/65kpB UID:61081-15027220@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61081 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Democracy,Politics,Pre Law,Pre-Law,Social Impact,Social Justice,Sociology LOCATION:LSA Building - 4154 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191203T142021 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T133000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Sandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations Graduate Speaker Series DESCRIPTION:**Fall 2019 KICK-OFF WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 23RD**\n\nSandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations marks the third run of the professional development event hosted by Tau Beta Pi aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills.

How do literary forms and temporalities of grief rework our understanding of border regimes as they bind and fracture political collectivities? This talk takes up such questions in readings of Aracelis Girmay’s The Black Maria (2016) and Sara Uribe’s Antígona González (2012\, transl. 2016). It considers how Girmay and Uribe each construct a poetics of citation and assemblage that rework grief over the violence of border regimes\, from the militarized deportation regime for African migrants in Israel to the U.S.-led transnational drug war that both prompts and exploits border politics. Such poetry incorporates ancient Greek narratives and contemporary geopolitical realities to press against humanitarian and citizenship-centered understandings of mourning\, justice\, and sovereignty. The talk explores how Girmay and Uribe’s poetry of grief envision a future-oriented politics of the living in a time of war and global apartheid on the right to move.\n\n\nAngela Naimou is Associate Professor of English at Clemson University and co-editor of the journal Humanity.

His family settled in Grand Rapids\, Michigan after stays in both Japan and Iowa. After attending various universities around Michigan\, John took an education hiatus to work in a cannery in Alaska. It was there that he found his calling in the pages of American Craft while scouring the tables of free magazines at the Anchorage Public Library. He received his BFA (Furniture Design) from Northern Michigan University in 1996 and his MFA (Furniture Design) from Rhode Island School of Design in 2000. John teaches in the School of Art and Design at Eastern Michigan University. John has recently exhibited work at the Muskegon Museum of Art\, the Midland Center for the Arts\, the Grand Rapids Art Museum\, and the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum. He lives in Ann Arbor and maintains a studio in his home.\n\n<<>><<>><<>> Householdments <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>\nWhile I don’t literally remember my earliest childhood years in Japan where I was born\, I have over my lifetime\, stitched together memories based on home movies\, family photos\, and images from my imagination. I “remember” the aesthetics of the place - objects and environments carefully made in wood\, stone\, and steel. Without necessarily conscious of it at the time\, I was dimly aware of Japanese visual composition. Things around me held an inherent logic and beauty\, a perfection made possible by keen tools\, quality materials\, and proficient makers. This three-part integration was embedded early on and continues to affect my own ongoing pursuit in object making.\n\nWhile finding my way as a young maker\, I realized where I belonged mostly because of how various studios smelled. The ceramics studio was musty and dirty\, the metals studio was acrid and smoky\, but the wood studio had an earthy aroma. My kind of place. The tools immediately felt right as well. Chisels\, planes\, and knives when sharpened properly could manipulate the material in ways I never expected. While I was clearly not a natural talent\, I quickly realized that a little bit of tenacity goes a long way. I also realized that I loved the logic for how wood parts can fit together. To build a wooden object or a piece of furniture each part depends on the fit of others. I deeply appreciate this fitting togetherness – how doors fit\, how drawers fit\, how joints fit\, how hinges fit. It all makes sense\, and this sensibility carries through to what I’m doing today.\n\nWorking in wood typically requires a high degree of planning before actual construction\, and over time I realized I craved the ability to work with more spontaneity. The work in this show reflects my wish to keep the working process a bit more flexible and intuitive.\n\nWhen starting with a sketch that I believe has potential\, I now begin to build directly\, without drawings or maquettes. I’ll constantly assess what has been built and allow myself to alter it\, continue with it\, or get rid of it and start over. I’m more interested in seeing where this process takes me than I am in finishing something precisely as planned. This results in some playfulness and whimsy that I hope is reflected in this work.\n\nThe word Householdments is an old and obscure term without modern usage that refers to furniture or things we keep in our houses. It strikes me as an odd word but well fitted to describe the objects in this exhibit. The pieces in this show are a collection of my personal householdments.

Pangborn\nPhD Candidate\, NSF Graduate Research Fellow\, and Teaching Fellow\nDepartment of Mechanical Science and Engineering\nUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\n\nAircraft energy systems are governed by nonlinear dynamics spanning multiple timescales and physical domains. They can be viewed as ‘systems-of-systems\,’ forming complex networks of interconnected elements that convert\, store\, and exchange energy. Due to electrification and increasing on-board power demands\, managing the thermal and electrical energy of these systems has become a significant challenge\, limiting their capability\, safety\, and efficiency. This talk will present a hierarchical control framework for vehicle energy management that meets this challenge by facilitating the coordination of dynamics across multiple physical domains and timescales. Analysis methods ensure the stability and feasibility of this control framework\, while experimental validation certifies its applicability as game-changing technology for advanced vehicles\, bridging the theory-practice gap. Recent results to be presented include a hardware-in-the-loop implementation of electro-thermal hierarchical control and a decentralized passivity-based Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach that leverages the system structure to guarantee closed-loop stability\, including under switching. These tools are applicable to conditions in which the environment serves as a heat sink\, such as subsonic and supersonic aircraft\, as well as a heat source\, such as hypersonic and space systems. While the talk will focus primarily on the former\, a brief discussion of the latter will be included.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nHerschel C. Pangborn is a PhD candidate\, NSF Graduate Research Fellow\, and Teaching Fellow at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research focuses on the dynamic modeling\, optimization\, and control of vehicle energy systems. He received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Penn State University in 2013 and an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois in 2015. His research in the Alleyne Research Group has included collaborations with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)\, the NSF Engineering Research Center for Power Optimization of Electro-Thermal Systems (POETS)\, the Center for Integrated Thermal Management of Aerospace Vehicles (CITMAV)\, and the University of Illinois Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Center (ACRC). He is also an Engineering Consultant for CU Aerospace\, supporting the Thermosys simulation toolset for analyzing the behavior of both single phase and phase-change thermal management systems. He is a Student Liaison for the Energy Systems Technical Committee (ESTC) of the ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Division (DSCD)\, and in this role has organized invited technical sessions and career development events at multiple ASME conferences.

In this seminar\, I explain my plans to abandon the concept\, arguing that modern technology and the nature of cutting edge problems in evolutionary genetics are beyond the scope of its capabilities. In the process\, I summarize the range of projects related to the fitness landscape that I’ve recently explored on the brink of my departure\, including clonal interference\, the context-dependence of higher-order epistasis\, and the drugability of antibiotics. In closing\, I introduce several new conceptual tropes that are better equipped to address modern questions in evolutionary biology.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/3dq3kXLA4K0 UID:49664-11487548@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49664 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190207T125938 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: White Nationalists Dream of the Ethnostate DESCRIPTION:This talk traces the genealogy of the ethnostate\, often envisioned by white nationalists in the United States as the ultimate destination in a racially reordered world. Professor Stern will explore expected and unexpected origins of this place concept\, including eugenics and bioregionalism\, and discuss how white nationalists grapple with the slippery category of whiteness in constructing criteria for inclusion and exclusion. She will also examine the affective dimensions of the ethnostate as an antidote for perceived rootlessness\, and ask questions about how this concept is mobilized to vitiate civic nationalism and promote ethnonationalism and racism in America. \n\nAlexandra Minna Stern\, PhD\, is a professor in American Culture and History\, with appointments in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Women’s Studies at the University of Michigan. Currently she chairs the Department of American Culture. She also is a core faculty member in the Latina/o Studies Program and the Science\, Technology\, and Society Program.

They can develop via a cluster of inter-related processes\, including bedrock dissolution\, rock collapse\, soil washing away\, and soil collapse. Current practices involved in the sinkhole hazard assessment are generally of a qualitative\, empirical nature and largely based on geological characteristics of the karst terrains. This talk aims to present a quantitative analysis of the interplay of multiple mechanisms involved during sinkhole development. The dominant mechanism behind sinkholes formed in rocks is the dissolution of soluble karstic rocks. Dissolution process may be enhanced by potentially aggressive groundwater acidity and the presence of caves or fissures. Specific dissolution rate of the constituent mineral (limestone or dolomite) and the surface area available for reaction are related via a chemo-mechanical coupling with the consideration of the damage-enhanced dissolution mechanism. The second part of the analysis explores the cover collapse type of sinkholes in which the critical mechanism is the growth and upward propagation of cavity. A strain-softening constitutive model is used to describe the strength evolution dependent on accumulated plastic deviatoric strain and erosion progression of soils around the cavity. The numerical results demonstrate the feasibility of expanding classical geomechanics to address intricate\, often coupled processes in sinkholes.\n\nDr. Hu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Toledo.

All ordinary matter - gas\, dust\, stars\, planets - is a small fraction of the mass of the universe. We remain profoundly ignorant of what this missing universe is. In this talk\, we will describe the range of ideas that have arisen as to what this mysterious stuff might be\, where it came from\, and how to look for it. We will detail the progress made in the search to understand the nature of dark matter\, and what questions this era hopes to answer\, including perhaps the central one: what does the dark universe have to do with the one we can see?

DESCRIPTION: The complexity of contemporary research requires interdisciplinary efforts\, and mass spectrometry (MS) is poised to play an important role. The presentation is intended to demonstrate two recent MS experiments designed to facilitate (1) the detection of every ionic species originating from the ion source and (2) an on-demand diagnostic strategy for the under-served population. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nAbraham Badu-Tawiah (Ohio State University) UID:59307-14730588@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59307 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
