Lieber\, Ph.D.\nProfessor and Chief Scientific Officer\nShirley Ryan Ability Lab and Departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Biomedical Engineering\nNorthwestern University\n \n“Biological and Biomechanical Studies of Skeletal Muscle Contractures”\n \nABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue\, responding both to level of use and presense of neural input. After stroke\, spinal cord injury or cerebral palsy (CP) altered neural input can result in muscle contractures. We have studied the mechanics and biology of muscle from children with wrist flexion contractures secondary to CP. Dramatic architectural changes are observed in these children whereby sarcomere lengths are dramatically altered relative to patients without upper motor neuron lesions. This suggests dramatic alterations in the regulation of muscle growth in these children. Biomechanical studies of isolated single muscle cells reveal an increased passive modulus and decreased resting sarcomere length suggesting alterations in the cellular cytoskeleton. Similar studies on small bundles of muscle fiber reveal an increase in the compliance of the extracellular matrix and a proliferation of endomysial connective tissue. Thus\, passive biomechanical properties of muscle from children with CP are dramatically altered in ways that are unparalleled by other altered use models. Gene expression profiling reveals a number of “conflicting” biological pathways in spastic muscle. Specifically\, this muscle adapts by altering processes related to extracellular matrix production\, fiber type determination\, fiber hypertrophy and myogenesis. These transcriptional adaptations are not characteristic of muscle adaptations observed in Duchenne muscular dystrophy or limb immobilization. Superimposed upon the dramatic biological and structural adaptations is a loss in the number of satellite cells that are located throughout the muscle. Even the remaining satellite cells have epigenetic changes that can dramatically influence our ability to rehabilitate these muscles. Taken together\, these results support the notion that\, while spasticity is multifactorial and neural in origin\, significant structural alterations in muscle also occur. An understanding of the specific changes that occur in the muscle and extracellular matrix may facilitate the development of new conservative or surgical therapies for this devastating problem.

Technologies of war and violence\, such as drones and nuclear weapons/energy\, for instance\, also possess many peacetime functions. Humanitarianism similarly blurs the lines between war and peace\, given that humanitarian initiatives may not only respond to situations of war but may aim to forestall it–sometimes through preemptive military actions. With the rise of unconventional and robotic warfare\, too\, the \"front\" becomes a hybrid of fighting and governance\, raising pointed questions as to the future boundaries between civilian and soldier. The three panels comprising this symposium explore these and many other timely issues.\n\nPamela Ballinger is Fred Cuny Professor of the History of Human Rights and associate professor of history at the University of Michigan. She is the author of History in Exile: Memory and Identity at the Borders of the Balkans (Princeton University Press\, 2003). She has published on topics such as refugees\, displacement\, ethnic cleansing\, and human rights in journals that include Comparative Studies in Society and History\, Contemporary European History\, Current Anthropology\, History and Memory\, Journal of Modern Italian Studies\, New Global Studies\, and Past and Present.\n\nHugh Gusterson is professor of anthropology and international affairs at George Washington University. Gusterson is the author of Nuclear Rites (University of California Press\, 1996)\, People of the Bomb (University of Minnesota Press\, 2004)\, and Drone (MIT Press\, 2016). He is co-editor of Cultures of Insecurity (University of Minnesota Press\, 1999)\, The Insecure American (University of California Press\, 2009)\, and Why America’s Top Pundits Are Wrong (University of California Press\, 2005). He has a regular column for the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists and for the new public anthropology website\, Sapiens. He has also published in the Washington Post\, the Los Angeles Times\, the Boston Globe\, the San Francisco Chronicle\, the Philadelphia Inquirer\, Science\, Nature\, New Scientist\, American Scientist\, and The Sciences. From 2009-2012 Gusterson served on the Executive Board of the American Anthropological Association\, in which capacity he co-chaired the final phase of approval of the Association’s new ethics code. He is president of the American Ethnological Society\, and was a member of the American Anthropological Association’s Task Force on Engagement with Israel/Palestine.\n\nAnna Weichselbraun is a Stanton Nuclear Security Postdoctoral Fellow at CISAC. She received her PhD in anthropology from the University of Chicago in August 2016. Her book manuscript\, based on twenty-four months of ethnographic fieldwork and multi-archival research\, investigates how nuclear safeguards inspectors\, bureaucrats\, and diplomats at the IAEA negotiate the international and institutional boundaries of politics and technology in their working lives. She asks how organizational products such as bureaucratic procedures\, technical inspection reports\, policy papers\, and official diplomatic statements contribute to the logical ordering of technocratic expertise within the IAEA. She is especially interested in how individuals at international organizations communicate across different epistemic paradigms\, and how particular types of speaking become recognized as authoritative and legitimate. To that end she has begun research on recent nuclear disarmament efforts—which include the newly agreed international treaty to ban nuclear weapons—interrogating how shifts in discursive paradigms and logics have succeeded in breaking the decades-long gridlock on hegemonic nuclear norms.\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester event is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

She has taught at UM since 1987\, specializing in moral and \npolitical philosophy\, especially on democratic theory\, egalitarianism and its history\, and the roles of experts and citizens in democratic policy making.\n\nThis talk will explain what populism is and trace its origins to tensions in democracy going back to Rousseau. The speaker will show how populism can be either left-wing or right-wing\, highlight the characteristic messages of populist leaders\, and argue that populism\, although cast as a fulfillment of democracy\, is a threat to it as well as to sound public policy formation.\n\nThis is the second in a six-lecture series. The subject is Populism: The Common People in Modern Politics. The next lecture series will start January 11\, 2018. The title is Architecture: Shaping Buildings\; Shaping Us.

The rise of nanosatellites\, specifically beginning with the invention of the Cubesat in 1999\, has created a new entrepreneurial growth within the space industry. Advances in power efficiency and miniaturization of electronics has allowed nanosatellites to become more complex in their function.\n\nExamples of the advantages of nanosatellites and their utility will be presented along with the complexities and challenges of integrating such highly dependent systems. This presentation will discuss how Cubesats have evolved from their humble University origins to the industry they are today.\n\nBIO — Hannah Goldberg (BSE MSE EE ‘03 ‘04) is a senior systems engineer at GomSpace\, a commercial provider of Cubesat components\, platforms\, and solutions located in Aalborg\, Denmark. At GomSpace\, Hannah is currently the technical lead in the development of a constellation of communications satellites.\n\nPrior to GomSpace\, Hannah was one of the first few technical employees at Planetary Resources\, where she worked on projects to advance the technologies leading to asteroid prospecting and mining. She was the lead systems engineer for Planetary Resources’ first few Cubesat missions.\n\nHannah also previously worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the Guidance\, Navigation and Control hardware group. There she worked on various microspacecraft research and development projects. She was avionics lead for the Mars Science Laboratory radar field test team\, testing aspects of the landing system on platforms such as helicopters and an F-18. At JPL\, Hannah also worked on the instrument calibration team for the Orbiting Carbon Observatory missions (both OCO and OCO-2).\n\nHannah received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2003 and 2004. During her time at Michigan she was involved with the Student Space Systems Fabrication Laboratory and the Icarus satellite project.

In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

While in most cases these rankings are hidden from us\, their presence is nevertheless revealed in the asymmetric patterns of interactions that we observe. For example\, social groups of birds\, primates\, and elephants are organized according to dominance hierarchies in which more powerful animals assert themselves over those less powerful. Social positions are not directly visible to researchers\, but we can infer each animal’s position in social space by observing a sufficient number of interactions. Similar latent hierarchies exist in systems of endorsement in which status is due to prestige or reputation. For example\, in academia\, universities are more likely to hire faculty candidates from equally or more prestigious universities. \n\nI will present a principled model and algorithm called SpringRank to infer such latent hierarchies directly from data. By mapping a network of directed interactions to a physical system\, this ranking process becomes as fast as your favorite sparse linear solver. Unlike other methods such as minimum violation ranking\, SpringRank assigns real-valued scores to nodes rather than simply ordinal ranks\, and it formalizes the assumption that interactions are more likely to occur between individuals with similar ranks. It provides a natural framework for a statistical significance test for distinguishing when the inferred hierarchy is due to the network topology or is instead due to random chance\, and it can be used to perform inference tasks such as predicting the existence or direction of edges. I'll illustrate these findings by analyzing real and synthetic data and show that our method outperforms others\, in both speed and accuracy\, in recovering the underlying ranks and predicting edge directions. This work is a collaboration with Caterina De Bacco and Cris Moore.\n\nFree and Open to the Public\nLight Refreshments\nPlease contact cscs@umich.edu if accommodations are necessary.

The symposium consists of a keynote memorial lecture public event the morning of the MLK holiday (January 15) [open to the public\, not ticketed]. The efforts to determine the symposium theme\, the artwork for the event booklet\, and speakers for the symposium are determined from a dedicated group of students\, faculty\, staff and administrators across campus. \n\nWe welcome any interested individuals who are passionate about social justice\, civil and human rights\, and UM’s role in creating a dynamic program that honors Dr. King to attend our monthly meetings. They are informal\, please attend when you would like. Each meeting focuses on finalizing a piece of the symposium events\, sharing department or org events\, and always reflecting on current affairs\, with an emphasis on mindfulness and community. \n\nSTUDENTS! (undergrad\, grad\, professional\, etc) We need your voice at the table!\n\nMore information about putting your event in the booklet or online\, the history of speakers\, and other ways to get involved\, please visit mlksymposium.umich.edu hosted and sponsored by the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI).\n\nPlease email mlksymposiuminfo@umich.edu if you plan on attending an upcoming meeting\, so that we may have an accurate food count.\n\nThe theme for the 2018 Symposium is The Fierce Urgency of Now. This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections\, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past\, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act\, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence\, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.

The mound tombs are dated to the fifth\, sixth and early seventh centuries\, A.D. or the Middle and Late Kofun Period. The Kofun Period is characterized by the sharing of standardized keyhole-shaped form for elite mound tombs\, which is distinguished from the preceding Yayoi Period when mortuary customs were regionally distinctive. Japanese archaeologists\, especially those trained at the Kyoto University\, have previously argued that the sharing of the mound form was a reflection of the strong\, centralized state. In other words\, the highest-ranking chief in the central polity distributed mound-construction plan to local elites as a symbol of control over local regions. However\, the results of my fieldwork since 1999 indicate that several aspects of elite mortuary customs in eastern Japan are regionally distinctive. This suggests to me that local elites in eastern Japan\, while influenced by the central polity to some extent\, had considerable degree of freedom to maintain and practice their own customs.

Technologies of war and violence\, such as drones and nuclear weapons/energy\, for instance\, also possess many peacetime functions. Humanitarianism similarly blurs the lines between war and peace\, given that humanitarian initiatives may not only respond to situations of war but may aim to forestall it–sometimes through preemptive military actions. With the rise of unconventional and robotic warfare\, too\, the \"front\" becomes a hybrid of fighting and governance\, raising pointed questions as to the future boundaries between civilian and soldier.

This thesis presents a generalized framework of physics-based data-augmented modeling\, which we refer to as field-inversion and machine learning (FIML). FIML is utilized to develop augmentations to Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes based models using high fidelity simulation data and experimental measurements. This framework involves the solution of multiple inverse problems to infer spatial discrepancies in a baseline turbulence model. Several such discrepancy fields are used as inputs to a machine learning procedure\, to reconstruct corrective functional forms in terms of local flow quantities. The machine-learned discrepancy is embedded in existing turbulence models and used in a predictive setting.\n\nThe FIML framework is applied to augment the Spalart-Allmaras (SA) and the Wilcox's k-omega model for flows involving curvature\, adverse pressure gradients\, and massive separation. The value of the framework is demonstrated in a number of applications\, most notably by augmenting the SA model with the goal of improving separated flow predictions over airfoils using limited experimental data. The portability of the approach is demonstrated by embedding the data-augmented module developed using an in-house compressible finite-volume solver in a commercial incompressible finite-element solver. Overall\, this work highlights the promise of using data to comprehensively augment physics-based models to obtain improved predictive models of complex phenomena. \n\nDissertation Committee:\nAssociate Professor Karthik Duraisamy\, Chair \nProfessor Krishnakumar R.

These include pressure\, flow\, and uncooled-infrared sensors\; integrated interface circuits\; and implantable microsystems for cardiovascular\, intraocular\, and neural disorders. He was one of the early leaders establishing the field of integrated sensors\, now known as MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS). Under NIH funding from 1981 until 2007\, he led development of the “Michigan Probes” for exploring the central nervous system at the cellular level\, providing over 7500 microprobes to the neuroscience community and pioneering work on neural interfaces. Between 1984 and 1998 he led the SRC Program in Automated Semiconductor Manufacturing\, an SRC Center of Excellence\, and from 2000 until 2010 he directed the NSF Engineering Research Center for Wireless Integrated Microsystems\, working on chromatography-based gas analysis systems and on implantable microsystems. Wise has advised 60 PhD students and is the author of nearly 150 journal articles\, 350 archival conference papers\, and 38 patents. A recipient of the SRC Aristotle Award\, the Columbus Prize\, the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Technical Field Award\, and the University of Michigan Henry Russel Lectureship\, he is a Fellow of the AIMBE\, a Life Fellow of IEEE\, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering.\n\nThis talk is given as part of the ECE Bicentennial + Beyond Lecture Series.

She became friends with a family of French gypsy musicians. Her first work of non-fiction\, Little Money Street—In Search of Gypsies and Their Music in the South of France\, which portrays that friendship\, was released by Knopf in March 2006.

Eliot Prize\, the National Poetry Series\, the Los Angeles Times Book Award\, the National Book Critics’ Circle Award\, the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for first nonfiction\, and the National Book Award for Fire to Fire: New and Selected Poems (2008). A long-time resident of Provincetown\, Massachusetts\, Doty teaches at Rutgers University in New Jersey.\n \nDescribed by John Updike as an “ambitious\, resourceful novelist\,” Fernanda Eberstadt is the author of Low Tide\, Isaac and His devils\, When the Sons of Heaven Meet the Daughters of the Earth\, The Furies\, and Rat. The New York Times Book Review praised Rat as “shrewd and sensuous\,” hailing “Eberstadt's preoccupation with \"the footloose life of the wilfully dispossessed\" and writes that \"in her novels\, idealists and fast trackers wrestle with thorny problems of love and social identity.\" In 1998\, Eberstadt went to live on a vineyard in the French Pyrenees\, outside the city of Perpignan. She became friends with a family of French gypsy musicians. Her first work of non-fiction\, Little Money Street—In Search of Gypsies and Their Music in the South of France\, which portrays that friendship\, was released by Knopf in March 2006. Eberstadt also writes extensively for The New York Times Magazine\, The New Yorker\, Vogue\, and Vanity Fair. \n\nUMMA is pleased to be the site for the Zell Visiting Writers Series\, which brings outstanding writers each semester.

In practice\, however\, how decisions affect the objective function\, and even what decisions are feasible\, are often initially unknown. Managing risks effectively usually requires using available data\, however limited\, to answer the following questions\, and then improve the answers in light of experience:\n\n1. DESCRIPTIVE ANALYTICS: What's happening? What has changed recently? What should we be worrying about?\n2. PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS: What will (probably) happen if we do nothing new?\n3. CAUSAL ANALYTICS: What will (probably) happen if we take different actions or implement different policies? How soon are the consequences likely to occur\, and how sure can we be?\n4. PRESCRIPTIVE ANALYTICS: What should we do next? How should we allocate available resources to explore\, evaluate\, and implement different actions or policies in different locations?\n5. EVALUATION ANALYTICS: How well are our risk management policies and decisions working? Are they producing (only) their intended effects? For what conditions or sub-populations do they work or fail?\n6. LEARNING ANALYTICS: How might we do better\, taking into account value of information and opportunities to learn from small trials before scaling up?\n7. COLLABORATIVE ANALYTICS: How can we manage uncertain risks more effectively together?\n \nThis talk discusses recent advances in these areas and suggests how to integrate and apply them to important policy questions such as whether\, when\, and how to revise risk management regulations or policies. Current technical methods of risk analytics\, including change point analysis and prescriptive maintenance\, quasi-experimental design and analysis\, causal graph modeling\, Bayesian Networks and influence diagrams\, Granger causality and transfer entropy methods for time series\, causal analysis and modeling\, and deep learning and low-regret learning provide a valuable toolkit for using data to assess and improve the performance of risk management decisions and policies by actively discovering what works best and how to improve over time. \n\nTony Cox is President of Cox Associates\, a Denver-based applied research company specializing in health\, safety\, and environmental risk analysis\; epidemiology\; policy analytics\; data science\; and operations research. Since 1986\, Cox Associates' analysts and scientists have applied epidemiological\, risk analysis\, and operations research models to measurably improve health and environment risk assessment and decision-making for public and private sector clients. In 2006\, Cox Associates was inducted into the Edelman Academy of the Institute for Operations Research and Management Science (INFORMS)\, recognizing outstanding real-world achievements in the practice of operations research and the management sciences. In 2012\, Dr. Cox was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering (NAE)\, \"For applications of operations research and risk analysis to significant national problems.\" He has served as a member of the National Academies' Board on Mathematical Sciences and their Applications (BMSA) (2012-2016). In 2013\, he co-founded NextHealth Technologies\, a Denver-based company offering advanced data analytics solutions to healthcare plans to reduce health\, financial\, and member attrition risks.

Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593379@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170908T145419 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171110T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171110T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:American Berserk exhibition by Valerie Hegarty DESCRIPTION:Throughout her career\, Brooklyn-based artist Valerie Hegarty has explored fundamental themes of American history and particularly the legacy of 19th-century American art\, addressing topics such as colonization\, slavery\, Manifest Destiny\, nationalism and environmental degradation. Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

I ask: How do sexualities come into existence as actionable entities or constructs in contemporary U.S. healthcare? How does this complex collection of processes shape the constitution of sexual realities? An interdisciplinary constellation of scholars are often at loggerheads over how to answer these questions. One group in the history\, anthropology\, and sociology of sexuality argues that sexualities emerge and stabilize through relational processes of conceptual uptake and exchange between individuals\, communities\, and institutions. Another cohort\, mostly in queer theory\, argues that sexuality constitutes a kind of radical instability\, with sexual acts and queerness standing in for pure negativity\, wild unknowability\, or utopian transcendence of the knowable. In another vein\, scholars who use constructivist approaches to study science\, technology\, and medicine have developed powerful tools to describe how technoscientific practices mobilize physical materials\, digital tools\, and epistemic frames to produce and sustain realities in conditions where the constitutive elements of those realities actively resist coherence. In an explicit move to break through epistemological blockages in queer studies\, social scientists have recently started to co-deploy methods from sexuality studies and Science and Technology Studies (STS) to describe how biomedical methods produce sexualities as tangible entities with varying degrees of spatial\, temporal\, and disciplinary durability (Race 2016\; Waidzunas and Epstein 2016). My dissertation\, “Making Sex Real\,” contributes to this project by showing how assemblages of human and nonhuman actors translate physical materials\, technologies\, and data into temporarily stable entities that become perceptible and provisionally actionable as sexualities only in specific sociotechnical and epistemic arrangements. Drawing on data from extensive health policy research and over a year of fieldwork with practitioners in HIV/AIDS\, LGBTQ health\, and health information technology (IT) in the United States and metropolitan Atlanta\, I show that\, in health contexts\, sexualities are enacted\, materialized\, or\, “built up and sustained” into a kind of temporary existence in biomedical milieus through processes of technosexual dramatization (Mol 2001: vii-vii\; Barad 1998\, 2007\; Murphy 2006\; Law 2004: 13). Technosexual dramas produce what I call situated sexual realities\, following historian of sexuality Robert Padgug and feminist STS scholar Donna Haraway (1979: 10\; 1991[1988]: 188-96).

Typically\, solids are simulated using a Lagrangian approach with grid that moves with the material\, whereas fluids are simulated using an Eulerian approach with a fixed spatial grid\, requiring some type of interfacial coupling between the two different perspectives. Here\, a fully Eulerian method for simulating structures immersed in a fluid will be presented. By introducing a reference map variable to model finite-deformation constitutive relations in the structures on the same grid as the fluid\, the interfacial coupling problem is highly simplified. The method is particularly well suited for simulating soft\, highly-deformable materials and many-body contact problems\, and several examples from engineering and biology will be presented. This is joint work with Ken Kamrin (MIT).\n\nBio: Chris Rycroft is an Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. From 2010–2013\, he was a Morrey Assistant Professor in the UC Berkeley Mathematics Department\, and he was involved in the Bay Area Physical Sciences-Oncology where he collaborated with several experimental groups at Berkeley and UC San Francisco\, on using computational modeling to understand the role of mechanical forces between cells and their environment.

In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

Unverifiable: A History of Rumor in Thailand DESCRIPTION:In moments of national peril\, the most pernicious rumors relating to the Thai royal family have gained purchase. I explore several of these moments\, the content and context of the rumors circulating\, and the changing technologies of communication that brought the unverified data to the Thai public. All rumors about royalty and their technologies of distribution have been subject to lese majesté laws: from encoded telegrams and confidential documents in the late 19th century to digital photos\, Facebook posts\, and YouTube videos in the 21st. Ironically\, today this censorship has hampered the government’s ability to gate-keep information and to convincingly establish their authority to distinguish rumor from fact. In other words\, not even the Thai military junta can publicly verify facts or falsehoods about the royal family because it would violate les majesté laws\, which equally criminalize truth and falsehood. The resulting ambiguity about truth has created a crisis of verification that adds another layer of complexity to the fake news\, propaganda\, political rumors\, and Photoshop technology that has created epistemic vertigo around the globe today.

Redfern\, PhD DESCRIPTION:Mark S. Redfern\, PhD\, \nUniversity of Pittsburgh \n\"Biomechanics and the Prevention of Slips and Falls\"\n \nBio: Mark S. Redfern is the Kepler Whiteford Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh\, with secondary appointments in the School of Medicine (Otolaryngology) and the School of Health and Rehabilitation Science (Physical Therapy). He received a PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Michigan in 1988 in the area of biomechanics while working at the Center for Ergonomics. Dr. Redfern's current research focuses mainly on human postural control modeling\, the influence of aging on balance\, and slip/fall prevention. He has over 150 peer review publications and 20 book chapters. \n\nAbstract: Slips and falls continue to be a significant problem\, resulting in injury and death across the age-span. Falls result in 20 % of all occupation injuries and 13 % of fatalities\, with slips being the cause in about half. Reducing slips and falls requires taking an ergonomics approach. The presentation will review the slip and fall prevention research undertaken in the Human Movement and Balance Laboratory. Three areas will be covered: Human Factors\, Environmental Evaluation and Design\, and Computer Modeling. Human factors will include the biomechanics of slips and falls for young and older populations. The environmental aspects will focus on slip resistance measurements and characterization of shoe-floor-contaminant interface. Recent computational modeling efforts will also be discussed\, including shoe-floor tribological modeling.

Retaining cyberspace superiority by protecting information flows is important to maintaining an overall strategic advantage. The cyber domain itself is unlike any other\, with a much larger potential attack surface\, an operations cycle much faster than the human decision cycle\, low barriers to entry for potential adversaries\, and ability to rapidly change in configuration and capability. \n\nThe threat to systems as they operate in\, or interface with cyberspace and the associated cyber threat is a growing concern of many people across the country. To date\, the majority of effort has been on addressing the cyber threat to our critical infrastructure and information systems. Given recent exploitation events\, immediate attention on the cyber threat to our space systems is of critical importance. However\, the unique characteristic of the cyber threat present serious challenges in understanding and resolving their potential impacts. In space vehicles\, the avionics (for example\, operational software\, electronic boxes\, cables\, comm system\, etc.) are all components of a cyber-physical system (CPS).\n\nAbout the speaker...\nLydia Lavigne’s broad background and experience spans across a variety of industries and projects ranging from large-scale U.S. military system development projects to intelligence analysis and space systems acquisition. Her work in project and program management\, technical development and process modeling also includes training and consulting. Her work often integrates complex technical tasks involving multiple technical disciplines including product design\, development\, manufacturing\, and technical analysis. \n\nLydia currently works for Ball Aerospace in its National Defense business unit as an Advanced Systems Manager\, where she develops strategies for pursuing business opportunities in technologies for national defense\, including space systems technologies\, cyber physical systems\, space protection\, data analysis\, and other adjacent technologies. Capture activities include analyzing customer roadmaps\, trade study developments\, writing white papers\, proposals\, and coordinating with both internal and external stakeholders.\n\nPrior to her current role\, Lydia worked in several other positions including Ball’s Systems Engineering Solutions group\, where she was a program manager responsible for managing cost\, schedule\, and technical performance on several projects and programs. Other positions include work as a management consultant and in space systems acquisition for the US Government. \n\nLydia has a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, Michigan and an MBA from Xavier University in Cincinnati\, Ohio. She is also a certified Project Management Professional (PMP). Lydia currently resides in Boulder\, Colorado.

Crafting Communities in Oaxaca: Drawing Inspiration from Ancient Artifacts DESCRIPTION:INTERACTIVE DEMONSTRATION\nNovember 9\, 2017\n2:30 - 6:00 PM\n2435 North Quad\nFor generations\, the Fabian family from Oaxaca\, Mexico has created alebrijes\, whimsical wooden figurines. The pieces are inspired by nature and archaeology. The Fabian family uses traditional carving techniques combined with pre-hispanic design motifs from the ancient settlement outside their village of San Martin Tilcajete. Please join us for a live and interactive demonstration of woodcarving and painting techniques. The audience is invited to paint their own pieces with help from the artisans\, ask questions\, and see the artists in action.\n\nWOODCARVING EXHIBIT \nNovember 10\, 2017\, 3:00 – 8:00 PM\nMichigan League\, Kalamazoo Room \nFocusing on the intersection between art and archaeology\, this exhibit features traditional Oaxacan woodcarvings called alebrijes. These pieces are the product of a collaboration between the community of San Martin Tilcajete and University of Michigan researchers. The Fabian family assisted in the excavation and analysis of archaeological artifacts from the site in their village. They have drawn inspiration from this experience to create a series of alebrijes celebrating the pre-hispanic design motifs found on artifacts recovered from ancient Zapotec houses. Through their pieces\, they combine traditional woodcarving techniques with ancient motifs in an innovative celebration of contemporary\, historical\, and ancient art from Oaxaca\, Mexico.

Optimal design exploits the following trade-off: while cheating may lead to better grades\, it devalues their meaning. We show that optimal tests can be derived among cheating-proof ones. Our optimal test has a single ‘failing’ grade\, and a continuum of ‘passing’ grades. It makes the agent indifferent across all moderate levels of cheating. Good types never fail\, but bad types may pass. An optimal test delivers at least half of the full information value. A three-grade optimal test also performs well.

A fraction of 222Rn produced in the upper 1-2 m of earth’s surface escapes to the atmosphere and during its journey\, it undergoes radioactive decay to 210Pb (222Rn →…→ 210Pb → 210Bi → 210Po → 206Pb). This atmospheric 210Pb is subsequently removed from the atmosphere by precipitation in a time scale of < 10-15 d. The atmospherically-delivered 210Pb on surface water is removed by suspended particulate matter and eventually becomes part of the sedimentary record. Lead-210 is the most-widely chronometer after 14C. In this study\, we present newly-developed application to date snow\, melt-ponds\, and ice-rafted sediments (IRS) using 210Po-210Pb disequilibrium in samples collected during Western Arctic GEOTRACES cruise (2015). From the measured concentrations of 210Pb and 210Po in a suite of aerosol samples collected from the Arctic region\, we assessed the residence time of 210Po-210Pb-laden aerosols. The ‘ages’ of snow and melt ponds were determined to be 2-34 and 47-61 days\, respectively. The ‘age’ of IRS ranged between 56 and 136 days\, corresponding to Transpolar Drift Stream velocity of 0.08 – 0.17 m s-1. This range of values is comparable to the satellite-based data of 0.05 to 0.10 m s-1. From the measured disequilibrium between 210Po and 210Pb in a suite of ice cores\, the model-derived accumulation and ablation rates of ice cores were obtained. This study has direct relevance to the energy exchange between the surface ocean and the atmosphere in the Arctic Ocean.

For example\, in a language with indexical shift\, \"I\" may refer to Bob in a sentence like \"Who did Bob think I saw?\". The last 15 years have seen an explosive growth in research on indexical shift cross-linguistically. In this talk\, I discuss three major generalizations that emerge from this work\, and present a theory that attempts to explain them. The account that I develop concerns the syntax of indexical shift along with its semantics\, and has consequences for the linguistic encoding of attitudes de se. Throughout the talk I will exemplify indexical shift primarily\, though by no means exclusively\, with data from original fieldwork on Nez Perce.

Siggia - The Rockefeller University DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Stem cells are commonly grown on surfaces and when induced to differentiate show disorganized arrangements of fates. The simple process of spatial confinement and BMP4 or Wnt induction leads to a reproducible arrangement of extraembryonic and germ layer fates as a function of colony radius that mimics the proximal distal axis in the mammalian embryo. Fate is defined by distance from the colony boundary which can be hundreds of microns away. The stem cell colonies also form a radially localized primitive streak and exhibit gastrulation like movements. We have characterized the molecular events that control our radial patterns\, which include receptor occlusion in apical-basal polarized colonies\, and the production and diffusion of secreted inhibitors and secondary morphogens. Three dimensional culture\, creates closed epithelia shell that resemble the postimplantation epiblast. They will spontaneously symmetry break into a primitive streak and a region resembling the anterior epiblast. This quantitative assay shows in a context very different from the embryo how the canonical signaling pathways\, generate spatial patterns over large scales\, but it also reveals cell biological aspects of signaling that are difficult to study in mammalian embryos.

Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist.

One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696915@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171020T120034 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171111T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171111T170000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Newbie Tournament at MSU DESCRIPTION:Tournament at MSU for brand new/newbie fencers.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593380@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171108T121524 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171111T084500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171111T173000 SUMMARY:Performance:Sally Fleming Master Class Series: Joshua Habermann\, conductor DESCRIPTION:Joshua Habermann\, conductor of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale leads three rehearsals with the Michigan Bicentennial High School Chorus. \n\nRehearsal times:\n8:45 AM-9:30 AM\n11:30 AM-12:00 PM\n3:30 PM-5:30 PM UID:46640-10569776@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46640 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171017T101137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171111T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171111T150000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Detroit Engagement Training Workshop Series DESCRIPTION:In partnership with The Ginsberg Center\, U-M Libraries\, Office of Metropolitan Impact and Community Engaged Academic Learning\, and Masters of Arts in Community Based Education\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center is offering three engagement training workshops.
