The antielectron (now called the positron) and the antiproton were discovered experimentally in 1932 and 1955\, respectively. It then took\, however\, more than half a century before physicists were able to create and control the atomic form of antimatter\, the antihydrogen atom\, in sufficient quantity to be able to study its properties.\n\nThe hydrogen atom\, the simplest atomic system has played a central role in developments of modern physics. By studying antihydrogen\, an antiproton orbited by an antielectron\, we wish to precisely probe the fundamental symmetries between matter and antimatter. In particular\, CPT (charge\, parity\, time-reversal) symmetry underpins relativistic quantum field theory\, and the Equivalence Principle is a key assumption in Einstein’s General Relativity. A violation of these symmetries\, even at a very minute level\, would force a radical change in the way we understand subatomic physics at its deepest level. In this talk\, I will discuss how we produce\, control\, and perform precision measurements on antihydrogen atoms that are \"bottled\" in the ALPHA antihydrogen trap at CERN.\n UID:61264-15063347@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61264 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190204T101941 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190313T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Gender: New Works\, New Questions- Branding Humanity: Competing Narratives of Rights\, Violence\, and Global Citizenship by Amal Hassan Fadlalla DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \n- Amal Hassan Fadlalla\, Associate Professor\, Women's Studies\, Anthropology\, Afroamerican and African Studies\n- Sandra Gunning\, Professor\, Afroamerican and African Studies\, and American Culture\; \n- Victor Mendoza\, Associate Professor\, English and Women’s Studies\; Faculty Associate\, Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies Program\, and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies\n\nThe Save Darfur movement gained an international following\, garnering widespread international attention to this remote Sudanese territory. Celebrities and other notable public figures participated in human rights campaigns to combat violence in the region. But how do local activists and those throughout the Sudanese diaspora in the United States situate their own notions of rights\, nationalism\, and identity?\n\nBased on interviews with Sudanese social actors\, activists\, and their allies in the United States\, the Sudan\, and online\, Branding Humanity (Stanford Press\, 2018) traces the global story of violence and the remaking of Sudan identities. Amal Hassan Fadlalla asks readers to consider how national and transnational debates about violence circulate\, shape\, and re-territorialize ethnic identities\, disrupt meanings of national belonging\, and rearticulate notions of solidarity and global affiliations.\n\nThis event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series\, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.

Moreover\, this disconnect is stronger for firms with fewer\ncompetitors. This paper poses a new dynamic general equilibrium model of rational inattention with oligopolistic pricing that explains these facts. Under high micro-level strategic complementarities (1) the model implied Phillips curve relates inflation mainly to firms' expectations about their competitors' beliefs and (2) firms with fewer competitors pay more attention to their competitors' beliefs and less attention to aggregates. To provide evidence for this channel\, I measure micro-level strategic complementarity for a representative sample of firms in New Zealand and document that the average firm faces a strategic complementarity of 0.8\, and that it is decreasing with the firms' number of competitors. An exploratory calibration shows that imperfectly competitive firms' strategic inattention to aggregates significantly propagates monetary non-neutrality: it increases the impact response of output to an expansionary monetary policy shock by 25%. It also decreases the impact response of inflation to such a shock by 47% and increases its half-life by 31%.

However\, archeological and paleontological evidence reveals that the vast majority of our time as a species has been spent in small hunter-gatherer bands that are basically peaceful and egalitarian in nature. We welcome Darcia Narvaez and Peter Verbeek to talk about humans' developmental niche for peace and findings from and future directions for peace ethology\, the interdisciplinary science of peace.\n\nDarcia Narvaez is Professor of Psychology at the University of Notre Dame and integrates evolutionary\, anthropological\, neurobiological\, clinical\, developmental and education sciences in her work. She is author of the award-winning Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality: Evolution\, Culture\, and Wisdom (W.W. Norton\, 2014) and contributor to Peace Ethology: Behavioral Processes and Systems of Peace (Wiley\, 2018).\n\nPeter Verbeek is Associate Professor and Director of the Graduate Program in the Anthropology of Peace and Human Rights at the University of Alabama\, Birmingham and studies behavioral processes and systems of peace at the levels of species\, individuals\, groups\, communities\, and cultures.

DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. This event will be live web-streamed. \n\nAbout the event:\nIn 2017\, journalist Christina Goldbaum’s on-the-ground investigation in Somalia exposed a U.S. military raid alleged to have resulted in the deaths of 10 Somali civilians. From a peacekeeping and nation–building force to troop build-ups\, drone strikes and counter-terrorism operations\, the U.S. rules of engagement are changing. Join Goldbaum\, the Atlantic Council ‘s Bronwyn Bruton and the Ford School’s John Ciorciari for an examination of the U.S. military’s presence and role in Africa and the implications for civilian lives and global security.\n\nAbout the speakers:\nChristina Goldbaum is a reporter for The New York Times covering immigration. Prior to joining the Times\, she was a freelance foreign correspondent in East Africa\, where she spent a year in Somalia reporting on U.S. national security issues. Goldbaum received the 2018 Livingston Award for international reporting for her story of the U.S. military role in the massacre of Somali civilians (link is external). Goldbaum also broke stories on the build up of a secretive U.S. military post (link is external) and the details of the first two U.S. combat (link is external) deaths in Somalia since Black Hawk Down.\n\nBronwyn Bruton is director of programs and studies and deputy director of the Africa Center at the Atlantic Council. Recognized as an authority on the Horn of Africa\, her articles and editorials about the region appear regularly in Foreign Affairs\, The New York Times\, Foreign Policy magazine and other publications. Bruton has held fellowships at the Council on Foreign Relations and the Center for Strategic and International Studies.\n\nAbout the moderator:\n\nJohn Ciorciari is an associate professor of public policy\, a director of the Weiser Diplomacy Center\, and director of the Ford School’s International Policy Center.

Registration will close when full.\n\nAbstract:\nIn this presentation\, I will discuss our ongoing efforts to identify biomarkers for drug efficacy in a panel of putative drugs for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). We are currently testing and refining biomarkers in TNBC for drug efficacy using a panel of ~400 investigational drugs and further\, using the discovered biomarkers to identify optimal drug combinations. Our central hypothesis is that biomarkers of drug efficacy in TNBC can be leveraged to identify optimal drug combinations for synergy in preclinical models of TNBC.\n\n\n\nThe Precision Health Seminar Series invites expert speakers to share meaningful\, relevant\, and late-breaking research on varied aspects of precision health. The interdisciplinary educational series\, which takes place monthly during the academic year\, features topics ranging from genetics to big data to health implementation (and much more) and is open to students\, faculty\, practitioners\, staff\, trainees\, and the general public. Our goal is to increase understanding of precision health data\, tools\, and applications\, to engage the academic community to enhance precision health research\, and to support the implementation of precision health to health systems.

Associate Professor Eric Lormand will be joining us to discuss \"The Easy Hard and Hard Easy Problems of Consciousness.\"\n\nProfessor Lormand’s research concerns those mental phenomena that inspire philosophical challenges to cognitive science\, including consciousness and qualia\, self-knowledge\, meaning\, mental representation\, emotions\, skills\, and rationality. Currently he is working on the epistemic justification of logic\, of inference to the best explanation\, and of evaluations. He is also interested in pursuing related issues in phenomenology and metaphysics.\n\nOverview\n\"The Easy Hard and Hard Easy Problems of Consciousness: Two Reasons to Be Nice\"\nThe famous so-called “hard problem” about explaining conscious experience--which many like David Chalmers take to be a show-stopper--turns out to be easy. If you’re nice I’ll tip you off on how to solve it. But there’s a different reason why none of the famous theories you can read about in online encyclopedias (theories from philosophers and scientists like Tye\, Tononi\, Prinz\, Penrose\, Lycan\, Kriegel\, Koch\, Dennett\, Chalmers\, Carruthers\, Block\, Baars) come anywhere close to explaining conscious experience. I’ll describe that second easy-to-understand problem\, and if you’re extra nice I’ll tip you off on how to solve it\, too.

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.

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.

Peltier teaches Writing and Literature at Eastern Michigan University\, specializing in African American literature\, science fiction\, and comic books. Having lived in Washtenaw County for nearly 25 years\, Professor Peltier has developed a strong connection to the community. His focus on comic books dates back to childhood\, while his scholarly interest in graphic art and humor began as an undergrad.\n\nThis presentation will cover the development of humor in comic books and sequential art since the debut of Mad Magazine in 1952. While the focus is on the last 65 years\, we will also look at earlier works and discuss the influence of political cartoons and social satire that have clearly influenced the more recent works\, such as 19th Century campaign comics and the works of Ollie Harrington.\n\nThis is the fourth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Humor\, Comedy\, and Laughter in Everyday Life and Beyond. The next lecture will be March 21\, 2019. The subject is: The History of Comedy in Film.

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:60543-14908135@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:20190306T181521 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190314T103000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Guest Master Class: Ana María Martínez\, soprano DESCRIPTION:Ana María Martínez is a Grammy Award-winner considered to be one of the foremost sopranos of her time. Martinez hails from Puerto Rico\, graduated from the Juilliard School\, and has an international career that spans the world's most important opera houses and concert halls.

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 this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Dominant theories of social cognition focus on the role of internal/essential characteristics in representations of social kinds. Drawing upon an emerging literature in philosophy\, I introduce an alternative to internalist thinking\, called \"structural thinking\"\, in which observed correlations between social categories and their properties are explained through stable external constraints\, rather than derived from the inherent nature of the categories. In a series of studies with children and adults\, I examine how people acknowledge dependence of categorical relationships on background variables\, and recognize confounds between category membership and social positions. Structural thinking emerges as a distinct\, early-developing mode of thought with a unique cognitive\, linguistic and behavioral profile which distinguishes it from other types of reasoning focused either on internal or external but non-structural factors. For example\, structural thinking promotes an expectation that properties of social kinds are mutable rather than stable\; fosters rectification of inequality in resource allocation decisions\; and supports formal explanations (“category member has property P due to category membership C”)\, generic claims (“Cs have P”)\, and some forms of generalization. This evidence highlights important connections between causal and categorical representations\, and invites us to rethink dominant theories of categorical representations and generic language.

Unfortunately\, current kidney-on-chip models lack the 3D geometry\, complexity\, and functionality necessary to recapitulate in vivo renal tissue. In this talk\, I will discuss how we address these engineering challenges by creating 3D vascularized kidney tubule models via multimaterial bioprinting and characterizing their reabsorption properties. In particular\, I will discuss how we engineer the flow property and biocompatibility of different soft materials to construct adjacent conduits that are lined with confluent epithelium and endothelium embedded in a permeable extracellular matrix. This 3D kidney model closely mimics the native microenvironment\, and thus exhibits superior cell behavior with active reabsorption of solutes including albumin uptake and glucose. Lastly\, I will show a few examples of how our model enables toxicity studies and disease modeling that have been difficult to conduct using conventional in vitro systems.\n\nBIO\n\nNeil Lin works as a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Jennifer Lewis in the School of Applied Sciences and Engineering at Harvard University.

Much of this work has focused on defining boundaries of known sites\, helping to guide ongoing excavations\, and especially imaging large architectural targets. In contrast\, this talk focuses on detecting very small geophysical targets\, many of which would never likely be found without geophysical methods. We will first focus on magnetic detection of small\, discrete campfires in Alaska\, with examples spanning 12\,000 years. Implications of hearth detection will be considered in the context of broader debates about the peopling of N. America. We will then turn our attention to White Sands\, New Mexico\, where recent geophysical work with magnetometry and ground-penetrating radar has successfully detected thousands of Pleistocene “ghost tracks”. These footprints\, many of which are invisible to the eye\, record the interactions of humans and megafauna at the close of the last Ice Age. Recently collected examples of human\, mammoth\, and ground sloth prints will be presented. Together\, these examples show instances where geophysical imaging takes on a more indispensable role in archaeological research by allowing access to untapped archaeological and iconological archives that have eluded conventional detection methods.

While a user may want to understand the entire response surface\, they may also want to focus on interesting regions of the design space\, such as where the gradient is large. In this paper we present an algorithm that adaptively runs a simulation experiment that focuses on finding areas of the response surface with a large gradient while also gathering an understanding of the entire surface. We consider the scenario where small batches of points can be run simultaneously\, such as with multi-core processors.\n\nJoint work with Collin B. Erickson\, Matthew Plumlee\, and Susan M.

For example\, channels and pores in cellular membranes regulate the functionality of the cell by selectively and efficiently exchanging water and ions between extra and intra cellular environments. Selective pores in ultrathin membranes have been shown to be highly efficient for water desalination and power generation. Classical theories often fail to describe fluid physics at nanometer scale. For example\, density layering\, size dependent fluid properties\, restricted translational and rotational motions\, charge inversion\, flow reversal and several other important phenomena have been observed at nanometer scale. The focus of this talk is to develop efficient theories and computational approaches to accurately describe fluid physics at nanometer scales. First\, we will introduce an empirical potential-based quasi-continuum theory (EQT) to accurately predict the structure of confined fluids. We show that the density layering from EQT matches well with molecular dynamics (MD) and EQT is many orders of magnitude faster compared to MD. Next\, we show that the EQT framework can be combined with the generalized Langevin theory to compute diffusion of confined fluids and with the classical Navier-Stokes equations to compute the transport of confined fluids. We will show several examples to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the quasi-continuum theory for confined fluids.\n\nProfessor Aluru studies problems at the crossroads of mechanical engineering\, electrical engineering\, materials science and chemical engineering. His work in the area of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) revealed previously unknown nonlinear dynamic phenomena\, such as complex oscillations\, period doubling bifurcation to chaos\, and U-sequence.

Various external forces\, challenging geometry\, the broad range of scales of motions make simulating the Earth flows extremely difficult. Although geophysical flows are only a subset of the broad CFD topics\, traditional CFD approaches are far from adequate. CFD targets on generic\, \"one-size-fits-all\" solutions\, which might not be accurate or efficient in the geophysical environment. The Geo-CFD and CFD fields have a similar length of history\, but there is scarce communication between these two. Therefore\, many fundamentally solved topics in CFD are still highly debated in Geo-CFD community.\n\nAs a dynamical core\, FV3 created many innovative numerical creations that respect the nature of the atmosphere but rarely follow the \"traditional\" thinking. After successfully powering many prominent GCMs for decades in the climate research\, FV3 is replacing the US operational weather forecast this year. A unified modeling approach (UFS) is also being implemented in every aspect of NOAA's research applications (Chaired by Prof. Rood). This presentation will very briefly introduce the core algorithms of the FV3 and try to address some controversial numerical topics in the Geo-CFD community. The main focus of this work is to present research results varying from the largest climate scales to the smallest CRM/LES scales. I will also discuss the future pathways of the FV3 development from the developer's perspective. Most work in this presentation is accomplished by the FV3 team led by Dr. SJ Lin (a.k.a. the Weather Master).

In this talk\, I will elaborate how we get around the curse of small population size\, and apply deep-learning creatively to predict disease prognosis at the population level. We have developed a tool called Cox-nnet that uses gene expression data to predict patients survival via neural network. We further developed another integration tool called DeepProg\, which uses multiple types of genomics data to predict patients survival via autoencoders. We demonstrate the utility of these methods on tens of thousands of cancer samples in the cancer genome atlas (TCGA). Lastly\, I will present our computational method\, called DeepImpute\, which uses deep-learning to impute the noisy single-cell RNA-Seq data and achieves better performance than other statistical and machine learning methods currently available. In summary\, the age of AI to genomics research has arrived and is expected to transform this field to a whole new level.\n\nLana Garmire\, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics at the University of Michigan.

Her father almost succeeded in ransoming her\, but days before her liberation she was forcibly converted and baptized as “Madalena.” In an unrelated incident\, also in 1608\, Algerian pirates captured the illegitimate son of the Spanish Marquis de Villena\, and enslaved him in Algiers. While a captive\, he was taken to Istanbul where\, after attempting and failing to arrange his ransom\, he converted to Islam. Piecing together these Mediterranean episodes from the archives leads to a third story beginning just a year after the capture of Fatima and Pacheco. In 1609\, three Spanish Trinitarian friars were on the brink of departing for Spain with Christians they had redeemed from the Maghrib when the Algerian Governing Council detained them. At first glance\, though they all occurred within a five-year period and in the same geographic area\, these stories do not seem to have much to do with one another. Yet these different Mediterranean trajectories intersected and had strong effects on one another\, whether through their ransom negotiations\, for example\, or in that one captive was taken as revenge for the imprisonment of another. \n\nThis talk explores the entangled experience of Muslim and Christian captives and by extension the connected histories of the Spanish Empire\, Morocco\, and Ottoman Algiers in the 17th-century. It argues that piracy\, captivity\, and redemption shaped the Mediterranean as an integrated region—at the social\, political\, and economic levels. The history that emerges of these stories is both local and Mediterranean. It offers a comprehensive analysis of competing Spanish\, Algerian\, and Moroccan imperial projects intended to shape Mediterranean mobility structures. Simultaneously\, the project reveals the tragic upending of the lives of individuals by these imperial maritime political agendas. Reconstructing the webs that linked captives\, captors\, masters\, kin\, and rulers\, we can see both the political economy of ransom and the processes by which these actors sought to shape it. These multiple cross-maritime interactions do more than counter an image of a declining 17th-century Mediterranean dissolving into nation-states. They force us to rethink early modern Europe and its others and to question how transnational maritime networks shaped seemingly European territorial identities.

These range from platforms that can “go-high\, go-far\, go-fast” and do this on-demand\, to platforms whose planned in-service life and design characteristics are more akin to commodity products like automobiles\, flat-panel TVs\, or domestic appliances like dishwashers or clothes dryers. This talk will enumerate some of the key technical challenges from an air platform designer’s perspective and will detail ongoing efforts within the US Air Force Research Laboratory\, amongst its academic partners\, and by the US aerospace industrial base\, that are vectored towards making these very different capabilities a part of the US Air Force’s fleet in the decades ahead.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nDr. Ravi Chona\, a member of the Senior Scientific & Professional Service of the United States of America\, is the US Air Force Senior Scientist for Structures\, a Department of Defense senior technical leadership position he was recruited to in 2003. In 2005 he established the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Structural Sciences Center and serves as its Director. He is charged with ensuring that the US Air Force possesses the cutting-edge aero-structural solutions essential to fielding revolutionary air and space platforms\, that can\, in turn\, assure the air dominance required by the national security and strategic needs of the United States. Previously\, he was a member of the Mechanical Engineering Faculty (1987-2003) and the Director of the Institute for Innovation and Design in Engineering (1999-2003) at Texas A&M University. He earned his BS\, MS\, and PhD degrees in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland\, College Park\, and enjoyed the unique privilege of having as his graduate advisor and mentor\, the late Professor George R.

Over the last few decades\, herculean efforts by researchers have dramatically increased the available data with which we can better understand the structure and the processes that shape evolutionary relationships. However\, despite these advances\, new challenges have emerged. Here\, I describe several projects that aim to better reconstruct a more complete view of the complexity underlying phylogenies. Specifically\, I demonstrate the extensive genome conflict present in virtually all genomic datasets. Furthermore\, despite this conflict\, we can address several fundamental questions about macroevolution. Primarily\, I will focus on the evolution of the plant clade\, Caryophyllales\, that include cacti\, carnivores\, ice plants\, cushion plants\, and other ecologically diverse taxa. I will also describe some of the limits to our ability to reconstruct the phylogenetic past\, despite our enormous efforts.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/E9hhNMm8L1A UID:49666-11487551@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49666 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190220T111151 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190314T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190314T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geotechnical Seminar DESCRIPTION:Details TBA.\n\nMr. Roarty is a Senior Vice President in Geotechnical Engineering and Heavy Underground Design at NTH Consultants\, Ltd. in Detroit\, MI.

The production will enjoy its world premiere on Friday\, March 15\, and Saturday\, March 16 at the Power Center Composer Bryce Dessner and librettist Korde Arrington Tuttle will discuss the range of artistic influences that informed Mapplethorpe’s work — and how the production translates the visual medium into an interdisciplinary experience. Thirty years after the death of Mapplethorpe\, we still cannot turn away from what his photos reveal. Mapplethorpe’s work both unites and divides viewers\, provoking a consideration of perceived opposites: black/white\, male/female\, gay/straight\, art/porn\, classical/contemporary. His pictures seduce\, shock\, offend\, excite\, intrigue\, and scare us all at once. Triptych seeks to make theatrical the ways Mapplethorpe’s works compel an audience’s complicity and characterize them in the act of attention.\n\nCo-presented with the University Musical Society (UMS).\n\nImage: Self Portrait\, 1988 © Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation.

The full piece will be premiered in June 2019 in the flooded ruins of Sutro Baths\, an early 20th century outdoor pool complex whose concrete remains are now a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. This \"workshop performance\" in Ann Arbor\, taking place in the lush setting of hte Matthaei Botanical Gardens Conservatory\, will feature one movement of Tremble Staves and will feature members of the U-M Percussion Ensemble.\n\nChacon’s opera connects narratives of the San Francisco Bay Area’s relationship with water to overlapping Navajo creation stories in which water figures prominently. The work will be performed\, from memory\, by the virtuosic musicians of The Living Earth Show\, utilizing amplified antlers\, tape reels\, effected guitars\, and water as a dynamic percussion instrument. With this palette\, Chacon combines electro-acoustic noises\, traditional Navajo music\, field recordings\, and extended techniques rooted in the musical lineage of classical chamber music to craft a vital sonic and visual landscape. \n\nThe opera presents the sacred element of water as a struck\, manipulated\, and amplified instrument–in reverence while simultaneously creating a sonic violence representative of continuing scarcity of this natural resource. The audience joins the performers in the environment\, turning a public space into a sonic ecosystem in which all participants are surrounded by the element discussed and interrogated by the music. The intention is immersion\; the opera immerses a congregation of audience members anchored in a pond of resonance\; communally engaging in the work yet aware of their own complicity in the draining of the water.\n\nEach unique iteration of the piece will last approximately 15 minutes\, starting at 6:00pm\, 6:30pm and 7:30pm\, with an Artist Q&A from 7:00-7:30pm. Attendees are invited to explore the conservatory during and between performances.\n\nThere will be limited seating available on a first come\, first serve basis.

Haidostian Annual Distinguished Lecture: Views of the Ottoman Empire: Discovering the Visual Record in Motion DESCRIPTION:A wave of handsome volumes about photography in the Ottoman Empire has appeared in the past decade\, straddling an uneasy border between nostalgic evocations of a voiceless time just beyond our grasp\, and visual markers guiding us to a more complex reading of a challenging historical epoch. The reproductions of these images are a fairly easy task that enable widespread distribution\, but what of the hours of footage from the same period\, largely sitting uncatalogued in film archives across the globe? Mostly shot by Western cameramen sent by studios such as Lumière\, Pathé\, Urban\, and Edison\, these actualities\, ranging from views of the ruins at Ani to street performers in Constantinople\, panoramas of minarets in Sarajevo to newsreels of Sultan Mehmed V\, are now largely inaccessible and poorly researched. The surviving record for Armenia is particularly problematic\, existing in unidentified fragments recording refugees from the genocide or international inspectors sent to investigate the massacres. “Views of the Ottoman Empire” is a project begun in 2014 by several archivists and independent scholars to identify what moving images remain\, research their history\, distribution and reception\, and screen curated programs in both the countries where they were initially shot and among diasporic communities for whom film provides an emotional connection that is difficult to quantify. This lecture will discuss the identification and reevaluation of these little-seen films\, alongside thoughts regarding their meaning for audiences today.\n\nNew York-born Jay Weissberg lives in Rome and has been a film critic there for Variety since 2003\, traveling to film festivals throughout Europe\, the Middle East and North Africa\, and Latin America. His work on contemporary cinema has appeared in international publications including Sight & Sound and The London Review of Books. He has contributed essays in numerous festival and retrospective catalogues\, with a particular focus on recent Arab and Romanian film. He was appointed director of the Giornate del Cinema Muto/Pordenone Silent Film Festival in 2015\, has written widely about silent film\, and is co-curator of the Ottoman Film Project\, an initiative to identify\, catalog\, and screen films shot in the Ottoman Empire. A frequent participant on festival juries\, he often takes part in panel discussions on the current state of cinema and film criticism\, has been a guest of the Harvard Film Archives/Gulbenkian Foundation’s Cinema Dialogues\, and is a regular moderator of Masterclasses with filmmakers such as Ethan Hawke\, Sally Potter\, Mahmoud Abdel Aziz\, Mia Farrow\, and Gabriel García Bernal. In programs for young film critics in Rotterdam\, Berlin\, Cairo\, Locarno\, Abu Dhabi and Melbourne he has acted as a mentor. His discussion on new Romanian cinema appears as an extra on Criterion’s new Bluray/DVD release of Cristian Mungiu’s 4 Months\, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

To speak of silence means to speak of a multitude of paradoxes\, as well as to enter an exciting avenue for literature\, activism and interdisciplinary scholarship. Our conference interrogates what it means to plumb silences in the archive in search of unheard voices\, and invites scholars to investigate the meanings of silence as a critical category. In particular\, this conference is interested in mapping – across scholarly and creative disciplines – questions of translating silences in the archive\, in the text\, in the subject\, and in activism. What are the possible ways of translating silence when events and experiences resist such translation? What challenges and possibilities does silence offer translators and scholars\, who are tasked with making meaning of both the enunciated and the unsaid or untranslatable? How can we engage with knowledge that does not yield itself to current academic frameworks? In what ways can a focus on silence help to transform knowledge itself?\n\nProfessor Irena Klepfisz received her doctorate from the University of Chicago in Victorian literature\, and later did post-doctoral work in Yiddish at YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. In addition to teaching in numerous universities around the country\, Klepfisz taught for ten years in the college program at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility\, a women’s maximum security prison. Last year\, she retired after 22 years of teaching Jewish Women's Studies at Barnard College. Klepfisz immigrated to the U.S. at age 8 and was raised among Yiddish-speaking\, Jewish Labor Bundist (socialist) Holocaust survivors in the Bronx\, where she attended public schools\, a Yiddish shule\, and mitlshul.

Using Medicare claims data we estimate a model of treatment decisions\, in which physicians are partially altruistic and value both their own compensation and their patients’ health. We then use the recovered parameters of the model in combination with contract theory to derive and simulate optimal linear and nonlinear reimbursement schedules. Physicians differ in their marginal costs of treatment\, and this heterogeneity is unobservable to the govern-ment\, which affects payment policy\, along with physician altruism and the effectiveness of treatment. Comparing outcomes under these optimal contracts against those ob-served under the actual contracts suggests that substantial improvements in payment policy can be achieved within a fee-for-service framework.\n\nPRELIMINARY—PLEASE DO NOT CITE UID:58710-14544815@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58710 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Ross School of Business - R0420 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190227T145015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190315T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190315T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Householdments DESCRIPTION:John was born in Tokyo\, Japan in 1971. 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.

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:60543-14908136@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:20190330T063021 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190315T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190315T163000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:BlackRock's Find Your Future Forum DESCRIPTION:Apply Now For BlackRock’s Find Your Future Forum!\n\nLearn how to jump start your career at BlackRock’s one-day educational program for college sophomores\n\nWhere & When:\nBlackRock Offices\n• New York: March 15 or 29\n• San Francisco: April 1\n• Atlanta: April 3\n\nApplication Deadline: \nThursday\, February 28 @ 8:00AM EST\n\nEligibility Requirements: \nWe are seeking talented sophomores with strong academic credentials across any major or discipline.

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 this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

On filthy nouns and dirty verbs: Translating sex in Tagalog missionary linguistics DESCRIPTION:Some of the oldest specimens of indigenous literacies in the Philippines are found in the linguistic texts written by Catholic missionaries who wanted to talk about Christianity in any of the archipelago’s many tongues. These texts\, the object of the discipline we now refer to as missionary linguistics\, constitute the earliest systematic attempt to reduce these languages into a set of replicable rules. While current research directions generally analyze missionary linguistics as a resource for studying early written forms of non-European languages or for reconstructing the initial stages of linguistics as a scientific pursuit\, I argue that it can similarly be examined as a corpus of translation. This is particularly true for colonial articulations about sex. In this presentation\, I will describe how missionary texts on Tagalog\, the basis of the modern-day national language called Filipino\, commemorated sexual practices in the early modern Philippines through the use of a specific translational repertoire. I will show instances where the juxtaposition of the translational parameters of equivalence\, incommensurability and untranslatability with the moral teachings on human sexuality resulted in peculiar translation strategies for describing indigenous sexualities and inscribing them into a Christianized discourse on civility. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

However\, developing matrix completion algorithms for networks requires taking into account the network structure. This talk will discuss three examples of matrix completion used for network tasks. First\, we discuss the use of matrix completion for cross-validation or non-parametric bootstrap on network data\, a long-standing problem in network analysis. Two other examples focus on reconstructing incompletely observed networks\, with structured missingness resulting from network sampling mechanisms. One scenario we consider is egocentric sampling\, where a set of nodes is selected first and then their connections to the entire network are observed. Another scenario focuses on data from surveys\, where people are asked to name a given number of friends. We show that matrix completion can generally be very helpful in solving network problems\, as long as the network structure is taken into account. \n\nThis talk is based on joint work with Elizaveta Levina\, Tianxi Li and Yun-Jhong Wu.

The botched switch to the Flint River from Lake Huron exposed city residents to long-term hazardous levels of lead\, dangerous bacteria\, and other toxins. Officials employed fraudulent testing methods to declare the water safe\, dismissed residents’ mysterious health ailments as anecdotes\, and discounted “citizen scientist” data showing lead levels to exceed safety standards. Only when Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha produced incontrovertible evidence of elevated lead levels in her patients did the state publicly acknowledge a problem. At first\, the struggle over data by officials and “citizen scientists” produced what Dr. Hanna-Attisha called a “loop of white noise” in the news media that confounded public understanding. This would soon change. Drawing on a 2017 focus-group interview with Michigan Radio reporters and editors covering the Crisis\, this lecture considers how and why “data” became a protagonist in the story and how these journalists chose to interrupt the “loop of white noise” with sound data of a different form.

Yet\, past research shows that longer parental leaves can have unintended negative career impacts\, especially for women\, while the effects for men are less well understood. In this talk\, I will present data examining the effect of parental leaves on both women’s and men’s careers. I will first present a set of studies examining effects of longer (one year and above) parental leaves on women’s careers. Given that past research shows that longer parental leaves may unintentionally harm women’s career progress\, while they are also beneficial for the health of mothers and babies\, here we sought to identify the mechanism underlying negative effects of longer (vs. shorter) maternity leaves: undermined perceptions of agency. That is\, to enable mothers to do both\, i.e.\, take longer maternity leaves and advance their careers\, it was important to identify an underlying mechanism and consequently utilize this knowledge to test interventions that boost agency perceptions and mitigate negative effects of longer parental leaves. In a context of Canadian parental leave policies\, we found that undermined perceptions of agency mediated the negative effects of a longer (i.e.\, one year) compared to a shorter (i.e.\, one month) maternity leave on job commitment (Study 1)\; providing information about a woman’s agency mitigates the unintended negative effects of a longer maternity leave (Study 2)\; and the usage of an organizational program that enables women to stay in touch with the workplace while on maternity leaves enhances agency perceptions and mitigates negative consequences (Study 3). Next\, given that true gender equality involves men’s experiences as well\, I will present findings from two studies on the effects of parental leaves on men’s career outcomes. Contrary to the negative effects of parental leaves on women’s careers\, we theorized and found in a sample of undergraduate students (Study 4) and employees (Study 5) that the effects of parental leaves on men’s careers can be positive due to others’ enhanced perceptions of men’s “communality\,” i.e.\, traits generally ascribed to women such as warmth\, friendliness\, and a sensitivity to the needs of others. Implications for theory\, practice\, and gender equality broadly are discussed.

In male humans\, conspicuous consumption—the consumption and display of luxury goods as an ostentatious expression of wealth and status—serves similar functions. Conspicuous consumption in humans has been found to increase sexual selection\, costly signaling of mating qualities\, and the perception of heterosexual men’s mate attraction motives. Because the literature has focused more on the conspicuous consumption of single men\, the function of men’s conspicuous consumption within a committed romantic relationship has been overlooked. Through three studies\, the current research explores the association between heterosexual men’s conspicuous consumption\, self-reported satisfaction of their current committed romantic relationship\, and their female partners’ beliefs and behavioral reactions to this consumption. The current study adds to the previous literature by providing a framework to understand men’s motivation to consume luxury products and women’s response to their conspicuous consumption within a committed romantic relationship.

These include (i) that the aim of inquiry is not to uncover truth but to serve our practical interests\, (ii) that truth is nothing other than that which rational inquiry converges on in the long run\, (iii) that the meaning of a statement is given by its practical consequences\, and (iv) that any inflationary notion of truth or representation should be rejected as philosophically idle. These are all rejected by contemporary realists\, for whom truth plays a central role in a theory of meaning and inquiry. I will argue that a normative assumption widespread amongst contemporary realists in fact leads straight to these four pragmatist theses.

To test this idea\, galaxies and clusters of galaxies serve as cosmic colliders for measuring self-scattering among dark matter particles. Present constraints imply that if self-interactions are to solve the infamous core-cusp problem in dwarf galaxies\, the scattering cross section must fall with energy/velocity to avoid cluster limits. To test this velocity dependence\, I present new constraints on dark matter self-interactions at an intermediate scale with groups of galaxies.

To test this idea\, galaxies and clusters of galaxies serve as cosmic colliders for measuring self-scattering among dark matter particles. Present constraints imply that if self-interactions are to solve the infamous core-cusp problem in dwarf galaxies\, the scattering cross section must fall with energy/velocity to avoid cluster limits. To test this velocity dependence\, I present new constraints on dark matter self-interactions at an intermediate scale with groups of galaxies. I also describe using mock observations from N-body simulations of self-interacting dark matter with baryons as a test of our methods. Lastly\, I describe some recent work toward strongly-coupled theories of self-interacting dark matter\, using tools borrowed from lattice QCD to compute its properties nonperturbatively.

Given these spatial constraints\, it is essential to have the right capability to measure the resultant features at the appropriate fine scale. High resolution topography samples the ground surface at least once per square meter and has decimeter local or preferably global accuracy. Analyses of high resolution topography in the study of active faulting can be divided into 4 classes: fault zone mapping\, reconstructing surface deformation including offset\, investigating geomorphic responses to active deformation\, and differencing of repeat surveys for both fault and ground failure characterization.

By analyzing Hmong women’s narratives against U.S. redacted archival records that erase Hmong and Laos history during the U.S. “secret war\,” the talk explores the politics of knowledge formation which has generated a historiography about the Hmong refugee as a masculinized refugee soldier and a distinct U.S. ally. Taking a feminist refugee approach\, Dr. Vang’s talk will show how Hmong women’s narratives rechronicle the history of war through the patterns of displacement and migration rather than military operations\, which does not succumb to either of the veteran or “good” refugee representations. Hmong women’s narratives’ rechronicling of history foregrounds refugees as knowing subjects whose social production can help us understand the processes of war and militarism\, gender and migration\, and knowledge formation.\n\nBio:\nMa Vang is an Assistant Professor of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at the University of California\, Merced. Her interdisciplinary research on Hmong refugees and the “secret war” advances a refugee critique of secrets\, history\, and knowledge production. Her book manuscript\, History on the Run: Secrets and Hmong Refugee Epistemologies\, examines how secrecy structures both official knowledge and refugee epistemologies about war and migration. She is the co-editor of Claiming Place: On the Agency of Hmong Women(2016)\, and her writings have been published in positions: asia critiqueand MELUS. She has received several awards including the Ford Dissertation Fellowship\, the UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship\, and the UC Multicampus Research grant. She is a founding member of the Critical Refugee Studies Collective and co-editor of the Collective’s website. She is also actively engaged with community organizations such as the Hmongstory 40 Project and the Southeast Asian American Professionals Association.\n\nThere will also be a Graduate Student Workshop in the morning from 11:30am-1pm.

This paper explores how these alignments draw on images of feminism as modernity and menace\, and normative masculinity as bewilderment\, abandonment and alienation\, appropriating the identities of marginalized men and feminized weakness to their advantage. I draw upon my ethnographic fieldwork with Men’s Rights Activists across Indian cities to identify some of the contradictions about gendered and intersectional power within such representations and their connection to MRM movement strategies. I argue that Men’s Rights Activists’ practices of projecting vengeance and claiming vulnerability in legal and political realms are premised upon inversions of discourses of power\, elisions of gender\, caste and class\, and conflations of feminism and the State.\n\nSrimati Basu is Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies and Anthropology\, and a member of the Committee on Social Theory and the Asia Center Affiliates.

This makes them unsuitable in applications that have limited data or require safety or stability guarantees\, such as robotics. By infusing structure and physics into deep-learning algorithms\, we can overcome these limitations. There are several ways to do this. For instance\, we use tensorized neural networks to encode multidimensional data and higher-order correlations. We combine symbolic expressions with numerical data to learn a domain of functions and obtain strong generalization. We combine baseline controllers with learnt residual dynamics to improve landing of quadrotor drones. These instances demonstrate that building structure into ML algorithms can lead to significant gains.\n \nBio: Anima Anandkumar is a Bren professor at Caltech CMS department and a director of machine learning research at NVIDIA.

We have long been interested in the relation between parsing and grammar\, but have neglected mechanisms for production. If we cannot unify mechanisms for speaking and understanding\, then unifying grammatical computation with either of them is likely fruitless. I will discuss the progress that we have made on understanding these issues.

Kelly\, American Nuclear Society DESCRIPTION:Title: Perspectives on the future of nuclear power in the United States\n\nAbstract: Currently there are dozens of Light Water Reactors (LWRs) under construction around the world. Most experts expect LWR technology to be the primary source of nuclear power well into the latter half of this century. At the same time there continues to be strong interest in moving to more advanced LWR technology (such as Small Modular Reactors) and Generation IV systems. The presentation will provide perspectives on the future of nuclear power in the United States and how the integration of LWR technology and Gen IV technology can lead to sustainable nuclear power.\n\nBio: Dr. John E. Kelly is the President of the American Nuclear Society. He retired from the U.S. Department of Energy at the end of 2017. At DOE\, he was the Chief Technology Officer in the Office of Nuclear Energy. He was responsible for establishing the strategic technical direction for the research\, development\, demonstration\, and deployment portfolios. Prior to assuming the duties of Chief Technology Officer\, he was the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Reactor Technologies. He was responsible for the civilian nuclear reactor research and development portfolio\, which included programs on Small Modular Reactors\, Light Water Reactors\, Generation IV reactors\, and Radioisotope Power Systems for space exploration. In the international arena\, he chaired the Generation IV International Forum and the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Standing Advisory Group on Nuclear Energy. Prior to joining the Department of Energy in 2010\, Dr. Kelly spent 30 years at Sandia National Laboratories where he was engaged in a broad spectrum of research programs in nuclear reactor safety\, advanced nuclear energy technology\, and national security. Dr. Kelly received his B.S. degree in nuclear engineering from the University of Michigan in 1976 and his Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1980.

His music transcends the confines of genre\, continually challenging the notion that tradition-bearers fail to push musical boundaries. Cleverly striding among numerous forms of traditional American music\, Pokey has crafted a genre all his own\, marked by its accessible ingenuity. Rather than merely conjuring up half-forgotten imagery of days past\, Pokey is a lyrical storyteller\, the plot delivered smoothly through his dynamic vocals. One moment he shouts a line and the next he croons above his archtop guitar. He transmits a rare distillation of old American sounds! Based in St. Louis\, Missouri\, Pokey honors the musical traditions of that town without aping them. He's an Ark favorite\, heard most recently at the 2019 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.
