In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W.

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

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today.

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.

Despite access to 4 out of 5 Great Lakes\, the past few years have repeatedly demonstrated challenges in providing safe water to all current and future Michigan residents. These challenges have drawn the attention of policy makers and experts\, but a critical component of the discussion on improving water security must be the values and perspectives of impacted community members.\n\nJoin us on April 20th for a discussion between community member panelists and experts in various topics of water security\, as they discuss the challenges and opportunities that Washtenaw County faces in guaranteeing access to clean water for all of its residents and the steps policy makers should take to improve water security now and into the future.\n\nPlease register:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/washtenaw-county-consensus-conference-tickets-59903418738 UID:63212-15593437@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63212 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering,Discussion,Environment,Food,Free,Interdisciplinary,Networking,Politics,Public Policy,Science,Social,Social Impact,Student Org,Talk LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190327T143804 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Lunch provided. Please RSVP to help us order food: https://goo.gl/forms/yS61hwJmjn88emi13.\n\nPlease join us for a book talk by Rucker C. Johnson (MA '97 Econ\, PhD '02 Econ)\, Associate Professor & NBER\, University of California\, Berkeley & Goldman School of Public Policy.\n\nAbout the book:\n\nWe are frequently told that school integration was a social experiment doomed from the start. But as Rucker C. Johnson demonstrates in Children of the Dream\, it was\, in fact\, a spectacular achievement. Drawing on longitudinal studies going back to the 1960s\, he shows that students who attended integrated and well-funded schools were more successful in life than those who did not — and this held true for children of all races.\n\nYet as a society we have given up on integration. Since the high point of integration in 1988\, we have regressed and segregation again prevails. Contending that integrated\, well-funded schools are the primary engine of social mobility\, Children of the Dream offers a radical new take on social policy. It is essential reading in our divided times.\n\nFor more info\, visit https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/rucker-c-johnson/children-of-the-dream.\n\nAbout the author:\n\nRucker C. Johnson is an Associate Professor in the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and faculty research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. As a labor economist who specializes in the economics of education\, Johnson’s work considers the role of poverty and inequality in affecting life chances.\n\nJohnson was one of 35 scholars to receive the prestigious 2017 Andrew Carnegie Fellowship. His research has appeared in leading academic journals\, featured in mainstream media outlets\, and he has been invited to give policy briefings at the White House and on Capitol Hill. His forthcoming book\, Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works\, will be published by Basic Books & the Russell Sage Foundation Press in April 2019.\n\nJohnson is committed to advance his scholarly agenda of fusing insights from multiple disciplinary perspectives to improve our understanding of the causes\, consequences\, and remedies of inequality in this country. Johnson earned his Ph.D. in economics at the University of Michigan. At UC-Berkeley (2004-present)\, he teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in applied econometrics and topical courses in race\, poverty & inequality.\n\nHosted by the Gerald R.

To study this question\, we focus on in-vivo extracellular recordings and computational analyses of spike trains from up to 100 neurons from the hippocampus and cortex during activity and sleep\, combined with optogenetic and chemogenetic manipulations. In this talk\, I will discuss the distinct patterns that we see in these spike trains on multiple timescales and how they change during and across different brain network states. Because these activities are found in the hippocampus\, I will discuss their relationship to memory. Finally\, I will describe current efforts to evaluate the temporal structure in neuronal spike trains using unsupervised machine learning by hidden Markov models.

On the one hand\, weak interactions became inefficient and relic neutrinos decoupled from the cosmic plasma. And\, at the far end\, Big Bang Nucleosynthesis kicked off and the first light nuclei were formed. In between\, electrons and positrons annihilated into photons\, effectively reheating them with respect to the already decoupled neutrinos. The outcome of all these processes can affect the evolution of the Universe from that time until what we know today. In this talk I will focus on the decoupling process of relic neutrinos\, starting with the standard scenario in which we properly accounted for flavour oscillations. Then I will explain how the effective number of relativistic species\, also known as effective number of neutrinos (Neff) is modified assuming some non-standard scenarios. In this way\, comparing the standard value of Neff with present and future observations we can get some insight about physics beyond the Standard Model\, from the presence of non-standard interactions in the neutrino sector to the possibility of having an extra (sterile) neutrino species.

Time-optimal waypoint-following model predictive control (MPC) was inspired by missions such as fast-slewing imaging spacecraft\, which must capture as many ground images as possible before their orbit and the Earth's rotation move the target out of line of sight. In this work\, novel solution approaches to both problems are developed and simulations are presented to illustrate effectiveness in implementation.\n\nThe satellite problem is presented\, then a more general switched controller and estimator system is analyzed that activates one subsystem at the expense of the other. Conditions are derived to construct periodic switching sequences that guarantee eventual satisfaction of probabilistic state and error covariance chance constraints.\n\nThe time-optimal waypoint problem is described in detail and a Mixed-Integer Linear Program (MILP) solution approach proposed. The ability to handle multiple waypoints\, exclusion zones\, and flexible mode dynamics are demonstrated. As the time-optimal solutions are in general non-unique\, a secondary objective function is added. This secondary optimization problem is chosen to be convex\, and so yields a unique solution\, which also is shown to restore Lyapunov stability to the equilibrium.\n\nDissertation Committee:\n Co-Chair: Prof. Anouck Girard\n Co-Chair: Prof. Ilya Kolmanovsky\n Cognate: Prof. Anthony Bloch\n Member: Dr. Frederick Leve\n Member: Dr. Christopher Petersen UID:63149-15578801@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63149 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:aerospace engineering LOCATION:Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building - 1044 FXB McDivitt Conference Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180914T103922 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T160000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:German Lab DESCRIPTION:The German Lab is open Monday-Thursday 1-4 every week.

Sometimes our modern life is so impersonal that it is almost impossible to get resolution when things go wrong.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Over the past few years\, small non-coding RNAs (smRNAs) have emerged as major regulators of metastatic progression. While micro-RNAs were among the first characterized post-transcriptional regulators of metastasis\, we have now demonstrated that other annotated smRNAs\, such as tRNAs and tRNA fragments\, also impact metastatic progression. In their capacity as master regulators of gene expression\, smRNAs play a major role in development\, normal cell physiology\, and homeostasis. However\, they are often co-opted by cancer cells to help reprogram their gene expression landscape as the disease progresses. Our group has recently discovered a new class of small RNAs\, which we have named orphan non-coding RNAs or oncRNAs [Fish et al\, Nature Med 2018]\, that are largely undetected in normal cells and tissues and emerge as a consequence of cellular transformation. Because they were not previously annotated\, oncRNAs had gone unnoticed in prior studies by us and others that were instead focused on quantitative changes in the expression of common smRNA regulators\, such as miRNAs and tRNA fragments. These oncRNAs\, which we first identified in breast cancer\, provide a pool of new biomolecules with regulatory potential that can be subsequently adopted by tumor cells to carry out new oncogenic functions. We have demonstrated that breast cancer cells adopt a specific oncRNA (named T3p) to regulate the expression of two key promoters of metastasis. This finding demonstrates that oncRNAs can serve as potential building blocks for “cancer-emergent” regulatory pathways. We posit that oncRNA-mediated regulatory interactions add a new layer of complexity to gene regulation in cancers.\n\n3:30 pm to 4:00 pm - Light refreshments in Atrium Hall\, Palmer Commons\n4:00 pm to 5:00 pm - Lecture in Forum Hall\, Palmer Commons UID:62789-15466655@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62789 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Chemistry,Discussion,Free,Lecture,Medicine,Physics,Research,Science,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190417T181541 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Memory\, directed aging and Nature's greed\n DESCRIPTION:In a crystal with only one atom per unit cell\, all atoms play the same role in producing the solid's global response to external perturbations. Disordered materials are not similarly constrained and a new principle emerges: independence of bond-level response. This allows one to drive the system to different regimes of behavior by successively removing individual bonds. We can thus exploit disorder to achieve unique\, varied\, textured and tunable global response or long-range interactions inspired by allosteric behavior in proteins. While this approach is successful for systems with only a few degrees of freedom\, it is difficult to scale up the number of elements to be controlled or scale down the size of the individual components. However\, because a material has a memory of under what conditions it has been aged\, we can direct the aging using Nature's greedy algorithms to achieve a variety of mechanical functionalities.\n UID:62914-15494565@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62914 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190402T163659 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Fourth Annual DISC Distinguished Lecture. “More Perfect”: A Politics of Empathy in a Challenging American Moment DESCRIPTION:“We\, the People\, in order to form a more perfect union.” Those are the first eight words of the preamble of our Constitution\, the foundation of our system of government and politics. When I ran for Governor in Michigan\, I aimed to advance universal healthcare\, a sustainable energy system\, access to public goods and services\, and against corporate capture of our economy. And yet the focus was nearly always on my name\, my faith\, and my ethnicity—that I could be “first Muslim Governor.” In union halls\, living rooms\, and town watering holes across Michigan\, I had the opportunity to listen to and learn from Michiganders—as a millennial\, Muslim-American candidate. In this talk\, I reflect on the roles of identity and ideals in our current political moment. I argue for a politics of empathy\, that centers our actions on the systems of oppression\, rather than its symbols\, and embrace the responsibility to speak truth to power\, only after we’ve learned to empathize with pain. I center these in what it means to be “more perfect\,” advancing mutual aims from diverse perspectives in a pluralistic society. \n\nNamed “The new Obama” by The Guardian\, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is a physician and public health expert who ran to be the first Muslim-American governor of Michigan. His campaign excited Americans\, with his progressive focus on public health\, education\, diversity\, and dialogue. Before running for governor\, El-Sayed served as Health Commissioner in Detroit\, where he rebuilt Detroit’s Health Department after it had been privatized during the city’s municipal bankruptcy.\n\nPrior to his work in public service\, El-Sayed was tenure-track faculty member at Columbia University’s Department of Epidemiology\; director of the Columbia University Systems Science Program\, and co-director of Global Research for Population Health. El-Sayed holds a doctorate in public health from Oxford University\, where he was a Rhodes Scholar\, as well as an MD from Columbia University. He graduated with Highest Distinction and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Michigan. At graduation\, El-Sayed was selected to deliver the Student Commencement Address alongside President Clinton\, who said of him\, “I just wish every person in the world could have heard you speak today.” \n\nFor full bio\, visit http://myumi.ch/6k4q8.\n\nThe Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum (DISC) aims to provide students with global perspective on Islam and the Muslim world by coordinating an Islamic studies curriculum across the Big Ten via synchronous videoconferencing and distance learning technology. DISC is supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and housed at the U-M International Institute. The Annual DISC Distinguished Lecture features a prominent scholar or public figure speaking about issues related to Islamic studies. \n\nOrganized by the Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum (DISC)\, with support from the Global Islamic Studies Center\, Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar\, and International Institute.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to digital.islam@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it\, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color.

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.

UQ is essential in computational analysis since it predicts the range and the likelihood of possible model outcomes when some model parameters are not known as exact values. It is also usually the case that UQ is computationally intensive when the models are sophisticated\, and the random space can have high dimensionality as it often requires multiple model evaluations. The effort in developing UQ methods that requires fewer sample evaluations includes the development of adjoint-based methods and the design of efficient sampling schemes. However\, to apply these methods to specific models of interest\, users must have either specialty in the modeling of the responses or must adopt some assumptions on the distribution of the model responses prior to the analysis. Methods to effectively reduce the number of sample evaluations required while being able to extract the detailed distribution information of the responses of interest remains a critical challenge facing researchers in the UQ community.\nIn this thesis\, we propose a lasso regularization-based data-driven adaptive algorithm for finding a sparse solution of the generalized polynomial chaos expansion of a response of interest. The sparsity in the functional expansion solution determines the reduction in the dimensionality of the uncertainty space in the system that can be achieved. This makes it possible to effectively reduce the necessary number of sample evaluations without compromising the UQ analysis. The terms “data-driven” and “adaptive” mean that the sparsity in the provided solution is a model property that is inherent in the design of the algorithm. The algorithm automatically estimates the importance of the random parameters in the system and decides on the active set of orthogonal polynomials to use in the resulting expansion. Hence our method is very general\, and users do not have to adopt model-based assumptions or make intrusive modifications to their deterministic program in order to apply it. \n\nThe development of the algorithm was inspired by the high-dimensional and computationally expensive UQ problems that are encountered while modeling the TREAT reactor. In this application we developed the algorithm for the uncertainty quantification of the modeling of the transient tests that were previously performed with the TREAT reactor. Results show that our algorithm can effectively reduce the number of sample evaluations for high-dimensional UQ problems while providing functional expansion solutions that are stable and that can accurately predict a wide range of responses of interest.

In this talk\, I will describe recent progress in neutrino cosmology on three fronts. Firstly\, I will illustrate the wealth of information on the sum of the neutrino masses obtainable from current cosmological probes\, focusing on LSS data. Current upper limits begin favoring the normal neutrino mass ordering\, emphasizing the need to develop statistical tools for quantifying this preference. Next\, I will discuss galaxy bias as a limitation towards fully capitalizing on neutrino information hidden in LSS data\, proposing a method for calibrating the scale-dependent galaxy bias using CMB lensing-galaxy cross-correlations. Moreover\, in massive neutrino cosmologies the bias as usually defined is scale-dependent even on large scales: neglecting this effect will lead to incorrectly inferred parameters. Finally\, I will take on a different angle and discuss degeneracies between neutrinos and other cosmological parameters. I will show how in certain physically motivated dynamical dark energy models the neutrino mass upper limits tighten instead of broadening\, discussing implications for future laboratory determinations of the mass ordering. I will also discuss how neutrino unknowns affect constraints on inflationary models.\n UID:62978-15528489@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62978 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Randall Laboratory - 3246 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180914T103922 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190418T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190418T160000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:German Lab DESCRIPTION:The German Lab is open Monday-Thursday 1-4 every week.

My colleagues and I have arranged these different motives into a renovated version of Maslow’s classic pyramid. I’ll discuss some of the research that has been generated by this approach\, and also consider a big problem: Although these systems were designed to function adaptively in ancestral environments\, they are often mismatched to modern social ecologies. Indeed\, they make us easy prey for parasitic exploitation by modern technologies that promise immediate gratification\, but may have harmful long-term consequences. I’ll consider how Ben and Jerry’s chocolate-chip cookie-dough ice cream\, scary New York Times headlines on our cellphones\, Facebook\, Fortnite\, Ashley Madison\, and iPads for our toddlers each generate immense profits by parasitizing our fundamental motivational systems in different ways. I’ll also consider some possible psychological interventions to defend ourselves.

It includes a series of examples in which observations from the field and the laboratory were indispensable to support analyses leading to credible explanations of phenomena ranging from building collapses to basic resistance mechanisms in RC. Special attention is given to research addressing issues faced in the U.S. in the recent adoption of design provisions to allow the use of high strength steel (HSS) reinforcing bars (with yield stresses of up to 700 MPa) in buildings required to resist earthquake demands. The new provisions in the U.S. Building Code (ACI318-19) were motivated by industry and the need to reduce congestion and labor costs. The central questions in this process had to do with the plausible effects of the use of HSS reinforcement on both cyclic drift capacity and seismic drift demand of RC structures. In the case of drift capacity the main concerns included:\n1) effects of different stress-strain curves on the distribution of curvature along an element\,\n2) reduced ultimate elongation and toughness of high-strength steels\,\n3) redefinition of limits to amount of reinforcement. \nIn the case of drift demand the described research explored the plausible effects of reductions in reinforcement ratio and\, therefore\, post-cracking stiffness. The problem of drift demand is examined in reference to earthquake records that have been obtained in the last 20 years and challenge common preconceptions about the properties of ground motion.\nTo close\, a summary is presented to emphasize the importance of the use of data (observation) to support analysis and design in engineering\, and the audience is offered open resources to access large collections of field and laboratory data related to the seismic performance of RC structures. Examples of new research directions (related to structural resilience and repair) are also offered to elicit questions and discussion.\n\nMr. Pujol is a professor in the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University.

The MMS methodology has been applied to fixed source problems\, criticality eigenvalue problems\, as well as multiphysics problems coupling neutronics with other physics essential to reactor analysis. Theoretical predictions for the order of accuracy as a function of mesh spacing (spatial and angular meshes) are compared with numerical results with MMS. The coupling of spatial and angular errors obscured the convergence with the spatial mesh\, and a method for removing the angular error from the numerical solution was developed\, resulting in excellent agreement between theory and numerical results for the spatial order of accuracy. The application of MMS to the criticality eigenvalue problem yields an inhomogeneous eigenvalue problem\, which does not have a unique solution. This was addressed by adding a constraint to the application code eigenvalue solver. An alternative method for applying MMS to the criticality eigenvalue problem was developed\, based on modifying the fission cross section\, and this avoids the inhomogeneous eigenvalue problem. Both methods yielded numerical results for the order of accuracy that were in excellent agreement with theory. The MMS methodology was also applied to the C5G7 benchmark problem\, a seven-group small core with realistic geometry\, and the numerical solution reproduced the assumed MMS solution everywhere to within negligible error. \nThe findings and conclusions are that MMS is a powerful\, flexible and rigorous tool for reactor code verification\, which is an essential step in developing a complex scientific computing code. This study contributes to reactor analysis by quantifying and removing errors associated with certain numerical approximations\, revealing the rate of convergence with respect to the refined variable and providing a verification methodology for both reactor physics and coupled multiphysics applications.

The first part of this heating occurs at the planetary bow-shocks\, followed by additional heating at the magnetospheric boundary layers\, until reaching the highest temperatures inside the planetary magnetospheres. In-situ spacecraft observations have clearly demonstrated that the magnetosheath plasma has been strongly heated and significantly rarefied when it penetrates into the magnetosphere\, indicating that the heating process is nonadiabatic. Meanwhile\, the average temperature ratio between ions and electrons remains the same.. Exploring the detailed plasma acceleration\, heating and transport mechanisms with in-situ satellite measurements in space-plasma provides a better understanding of the nature of plasma and may therefore be helpful in development of new energy source (e.g.\, fusion energy). In this talk we discuss results from multiple space missions (e.g.\, Cluster\, THEMIS\, MMS) and numerical simulations and discuss the physical mechanisms that provide plasma transport and energization at the magnetospheric boundary layers: the magnetosheath\, the magnetopause\, the low and high-latitude boundary layers and cusps. Understanding why magnetosphere is so hot is helpful in understanding plasma heating in solar corona and other astrophysical systems where we don’t have multi-point in-situ measurements of plasmas.

Environmental income accounts for 28% of total household income\, 77% of which comes from natural forests. Environmental income shares are higher for low-income households\, but differences across income quintiles are less pronounced than previously thought. The poor rely more heavily on subsistence products such as wood fuels and wild foods\, and on products harvested from natural areas other than forests. In absolute terms environmental income is approximately five times higher in the highest income quintile\, compare to the two lowest quintiles. Analysis of the relationship between land tenure and environmental income will also be presented (Jagger et al. 2014). The main finding is that contrary to conventional wisdom\, community forests (when compared with state and privately owned forests) do not yield high forest incomes for the poor. Work in progress leveraging the PEN dataset to explore the relationship between forest and energy transitions (Jagger et al. ) will be discussed.

Ideally\, such predictions would enable us to better target ongoing surveillance\, and target research to understand when and why spillover infections are likely to occur. This seminar will give examples of predictive analyses that have been undertaken with the aid of machine learning algorithms\, which were trained to identify particular wild species that may be the most likely carriers for human infectious pathogens. These analyses have also generated hypotheses about why some species seem to be so much better at carrying zoonotic pathogens compared to others. Some new and ongoing projects will be discussed that expand process-agnostic ecoinformatic methods with existing theory of disease dynamics and life history to build predictive capacity in disease ecology.

Farmers\, lawmakers\, and philosophers in the early medieval West thought so. Pigs were smart enough\, and delinquent enough\, to make the process of domestication a two-way street. This talk explores the different ways that pigs made a dent in early medieval history\, while also thinking about what their human collaborators thought was important (or not) when it came to thinking and acting and making a difference.\n\nJamie Kreiner is an associate professor of history at the University of Georgia. She is a historian of the early Middle Ages whose research focuses on the mechanics of culture\, including how medieval communities themselves thought that knowledges and commitments were communicated\, adopted\, and affected by other forms of power. She's especially interested in the quieter forces that shape ethical systems—forces that were not always purposeful\, individual\, or human—and it's a thread that runs through her research on narrative\, social forms of cognition\, the interplay between science and religion\, and animals. She explores the status of pigs as subjects and objects in her new book\, Legions of Pigs\, which will appear in Fall 2020 with Yale University Press. Her research has been supported by several grants and fellowships\, including most recently a Mellon Fellowship for Assistant Professors at the Institute for Advanced Study\; and her publications have been awarded prizes from the Medieval Academy of America\, the Society for French Historical Studies\, and the Agricultural History Society.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

This technology has been demonstrated to be a key element in the design of\, e.g.\, modern antennas\, waveguiding/shaping devices\, etc..It has been playing a pivotal role in forging modern communication systems\, and therefore was\, is and will be greatly impacting peoples’ daily life. However\, despite of all these successes\, very recent experiments on the interaction of light (EM waves at optical frequencies) with deep-nanoscale metallic structures suggest the need of a paradigm shift in the classic CEM algorithms\, where a more refined material model is required. As the very first step in this direction\, we combine the dynamics of classical EM waves with the semi-classical hydrodynamic motion of free electrons in metals. The problem is formulated in the framework of Boundary Integral Equations (BIEs) and subsequently solved by the Method of Moments (MoM) algorithm. This research contributes to potentially bridging the computational gap between the classical macroscopic world and the quantum mechanical microscopic world\, and provides an essential tool for chemists and physicists to understand new physics in the nanoscopic world.\n\nGuy A.

AD has become an urgent health problem putting a heavy economic and emotional burden in the society. Thus this disease has been top research priority in many countries. The etiology of AD is not well understood\, and the pathophysiology is complex involving different aberrant cellular and molecular mechanisms in the brain. Recent studies have demonstrated the important role of lipids\, lipid signaling pathways and cytoskeletal reorganization in modulating pivotal cellular\nprocesses\, physical property of membranes\, amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing\, neuroinflammation\, oxidative stress and apoptosis. These are crucial factors and pathways leading to the decline of cognitive functions in AD. This talk will address the roles of cell membrane phase properties\, membrane fluidity\, membrane mechanics in oxidative stress\, mitochondrial dysfunction\, APP processing\, altered cerebral endothelial functions\, and microglial-mediated amyloid-beta peptide clearance in AD. \n\n\nDr. James Lee is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering at University of Illinois at Chicago.

Estimates have reached as high as one million detainees. The Chinese government has framed these camps as schools that attack terrorist beliefs and give Uighurs the work and life skills necessary to thrive in a modern economy. It has received very little pressure or public condemnation from its Central Asian neighbors\, from Muslim countries\, or from its trading partners in the developed world. This human rights crisis raises questions central to the role and practice of diplomacy. What justification is there for bringing foreign diplomatic pressure to bear on issues that a country defines as central to its identity and existence? What do we know about the success of different types of advocacy\, whether through diplomatic channels\, pressure from international organizations\, or NGO-led protest? To what extent does the crisis in Xinjiang affect the stability of Central Asia\, or the fate of separatist movements in Tibet\, Hong Kong\, and Taiwan?\n\nParticipating speakers:\nTim Grose (Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology )\nNury Turkel (Uighur Human Rights Project)\nSean Roberts (George Washington University)\nAnn Lin (University of Michigan) as moderator UID:62851-15483797@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62851 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Crisis In Xinjiang,Detention Of Uighur Muslims,Human Rights LOCATION:Weill Hall (Ford School) - Annenberg Auditorium, 1120 Weill Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190503T123008 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190418T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190418T180000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:We Need More than 2%: Apply.

Free to attend and open to all!\n\n--\n\nHilton Als began contributing to The New Yorker in 1989\, writing pieces for ‘The Talk of the Town\,’ he became a staff writer in 1994\, theatre critic in 2002\, and lead theater critic in 2012. Week after week\, he brings to the magazine a rigorous\, sharp\, and lyrical perspective on acting\, playwriting\, and directing. With his deep knowledge of the history of performance—not only in theatre but in dance\, music\, and visual art—he shows us how to view a production and how to place its director\, its author\, and its performers in the ongoing continuum of dramatic art. His reviews are not simply reviews\; they are provocative contributions to the discourse on theatre\, race\, class\, sexuality\, and identity in America.\n\nBefore coming to The New Yorker\, Als was a staff writer for the Village Voice and an editor-at-large at Vibe. Als edited the catalogue for the 1994-95 Whitney Museum of American Art exhibition “Black Male: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary American Art.” His first book\, The Women\, was published in 1996. His book\, White Girls\, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in 2014 and winner of the 2014 Lambda Literary Award for Non-fiction\, discusses various narratives of race and gender. He is author of the introduction to the Penguin Classics edition of The Early Stories of Truman Capote. He is also guest editor for the 2018 Best American Essays (Mariner Books\, October 2\, 2018). He also wrote Andy Warhol: The Series\, a book containing two previously unpublished television scripts for a series on the life of Andy Warhol. \n\nIn 1997\, the New York Association of Black Journalists awarded Als first prize in both Magazine Critique/Review and Magazine Arts and Entertainment. He was awarded a Guggenheim for creative writing in 2000 and the George Jean Nathan Award for Dramatic Criticism for 2002-03. In 2016\, he received Lambda Literary’s Trustee Award for Excellence in Literature\, in 2017 Als won the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism\, and in 2018 the Langston Hughes Medal.\n\nIn 2009\, Als worked with the performer Justin Bond on “Cold Water\,” an exhibition of paintings\, drawings\, and videos by performers\, at La MaMa Gallery. In 2010\, he co-curated “Self-Consciousness\,” at the VeneKlasen/Werner gallery\, in Berlin\, and published “Justin Bond/Jackie Curtis.” In 2015\, he collaborated with the artist Celia Paul to create “Desdemona for Celia by Hilton\,” an exhibition for the Metropolitan Opera’s Gallery Met. In 2016\, his debut art show “One Man Show: Holly\, Candy\, Bobbie and the Rest” opened at the Artist’s Institute. In 2017 he curated \"Alice Neel\, Uptown\" at the David Zwirner Gallery in New York City. \n\nAls is an associate professor of writing at Columbia University’s School of the Arts and has taught at Yale University\, Wesleyan\, and Smith College. He lives in New York City.

Cardinal\nMusic Direction by Catherine A. Walker\n\nSweeney Todd is a musical melodrama set in the 1840s based on an allegedly true tale. Released from prison for a crime he didn’t commit\, Sweeney vows revenge on the world for the loss of his family. With the assistance of his unhinged landlady Mrs. Lovett\, Sweeney reaps vengeance through his barbershop that is at once horrifying and exhilarating. Mrs. Lovett’s brilliant idea of how to deal with the aftermath of Todd’s handiwork makes her pie shop and the barber’s chair the most popular place in London. Will Sweeney’s obsession prevent him from recognizing a chance of salvation or will madness overwhelm all? \n\nOpening on Broadway in 1979\, Sweeney Todd was the second collaboration between Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler\, following their success with A Little Night Music. The show won eight Tony Awards\, including Best Musical\, Score\, and Book. Sweeney has been revived multiple times on Broadway\, adapted into a motion picture\, and is currently playing Off-Broadway in a new immersive production. Sondheim’s sublimely gruesome and funny musical features one of the most thrilling scores in musical theatre and includes such favorites as “A Little Priest” and “Not While I’m Around\,” along with the opening song “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd.” Attend the tale—if you dare!

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728349@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190412T113303 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190419T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190419T113000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Robotics PhD Defense: Josh Mangelson DESCRIPTION:In manufacturing\, teams of robotics systems\, working in coordination with one another\, have led to dramatic increases in safety\, efficiency\, and profit. Collaborative teams of robotic vehicles working together in unstructured environments have the potential to yield similar gains in a variety of application areas including automatic inspection of underwater structures. However\, autonomous collaboration in real-world environments is significantly more difficult than in the factory. The main reason for this is because in an unstructured environment\, fundamental information such as the position of the robotic agent\, its relationship to other agents\, and a model of the robot's surroundings all have to be estimated by the robotic vehicle online\, while their estimation can be simplified or engineered out of the problem in a structured one. This is further complicated by the fact that in underwater environments\, failure of a navigation or perception algorithm that estimates the above quantities can result in significant damage or the loss of a vehicle. Moreover\, existing algorithms for navigation and mapping in unstructured environments\, tend to fail in the presence of outlier measurements\, when given a bad initialization\, or when using an inaccurate characterization of pose uncertainty.\n\nIn this thesis\, we propose four methods that bring us closer to robust and consistent multi-agent autonomous inspection. The first is a method for handling outlier measurements when merging maps generated by two agents collaboratively inspecting a structure. The proposed method uses graph theory to enforce that the selected set of measurements are consistent with one another resulting in more consistent maps than existing methods. The second is an initialization agnostic method for aligning robot trajectories based on low-dimensional data. The third is a way of formulating the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem as a convex polynomial optimization problem. This enables us to guarantee that the trajectory estimated by the robotic vehicle is the true solution to the posed optimization problem. Finally\, the fourth is method that uses Lie group theory and the Lie algebra to accurately characterize the uncertainty of jointly correlated poses. We evaluate the proposed methods and show that they outperform existing state-of-the-art algorithms.\n\nWe conclude with a discussion of \"reliable autonomy\" by describing a set of additional problems that need to be solved to enable reliable\, large-scale\, fully-autonomous\, multi-agent inspection of underwater structures.\n\nJoshua Mangelson is a Ph.D. Candidate in Robotics at the University of Michigan. His interests lie in the development of navigation\, mapping\, and perception algorithms that enable the design of reliable field robotic systems that can operate consistently in unstructured environments. He is especially interested in the development of large-scale multi-agent teams for autonomous inspection of underwater structures. He is the recipient of the IEEE ICRA Best Multi-Robot Paper Award and the IEEE OCEANS Best Poster Award both in 2018.

These studies also yield implications for subtle\, research-based strategies to reframe how students experience their socioeconomic contexts in order to increase academic motivation and engagement. Destin's talk will describe a series of studies that illustrates how information and messages about opportunity in society and overcoming challenges can be utilized to increase student motivation during adolescence. He will also describe studies that examine the effectiveness of leveraging other social agents in students’ lives\, like parents and near peers\, to convey motivating identity-based messages. Finally\, the research extends into higher education and reveals potential implications for broader notions of health\, well-being\, and public policy.

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

The first half of this talk will focus on a new microscale additive manufacturing process\, known as microscale selective laser sintering (μ-SLS)\, that has been developed in the NDML for the fabrication of 3D electronic interconnect structures with micron scale resolutions. In this process\, a thin layer of nanoparticle ink is first spread onto the substrate. The substrate is then positioned under an optical subsystem using a custom built nanopositioning device. A laser that has been focused off a micromirror array is then used to sinter the nanoparticles together in a desired pattern with micrometer resolution. Another layer is then coated onto the substrate and the process is repeated to build up the 3D structure. Finally\, the unsintered nanoparticles are washed away to reveal the final 3D part. This talk will present the materials science\, mechatronic systems\, optics designs\, and process modeling used to make this additive manufacturing process capable of achieving micrometer resolution with high throughput (~63 mm3/h) over large areas (~ 50 mm x 50 mm).\n\nThe second half of this presentation will focus on two projects related to the manufacturing of high quality\, flexible electronics: (1) A new roll-to-roll metrology framework for the manufacturing of flexible electronics devices and (2) A new method to precisely exfoliate thin sheets of silicon from bulk silicon wafers. These two projects represent two different approaches to solving the challenge of producing flexible electronics that can compete on performance with conventionally manufactured electronics. The roll-to-roll metrology project tackles the problems currently present in the patterning of repeatable and uniform nanoscale structures on flexible substrates by enabling process control feedback in the roll-to-roll nanopatterning process. This is done by integrating compact\, MEMS-based\, single chip atomic force microscopes (sc-AFMs) with high scanning speeds directly into a new roll-to-roll metrology framework that greatly increases the throughput and modularity of direct\, nanometer-scale measurement on flexible substrates. The exfoliation project takes the opposite approach by taking electronic structures that have been fabricated on conventional silicon substrates and making them flexible by making the silicon layer extremely thin (<5μm). This processes uses a compressive nickel film to create a stress concentration below the top surface of the wafer and polymer film with controlled tension to propagate a crack along this stress concentration. The advantage of this process is that it allows us to cheaply take electronics that have been fabricated using traditional manufacturing processes on bulk silicon wafers and turn them into flexible electronics using just one additional processing step. The presentation will conclude with some thoughts on the future directions of next generation of electronic devices from a manufacturing prospective.\nBio\nDr. Cullinan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering the University of Texas at Austin.

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.

Do cells individual cells differ in their ability to reprogram? We address this using cellular barcoding based lineage tracing\, and demonstrate that reprogramming dynamics in large \"interacting\" populations are dominated by “elite” clones [1]. This work highlights the importance of cellular interactions and/or epigenetic heterogeneity in fate programming outcomes. In contrast\, tissue regeneration in animals exhibit neutral dynamics between the underlying population of stem cells [2]. Taken together\, we show that looking at cell fate transition from the lens of eco-evolutionary lens shed light on underlying biology. \n UID:63147-15578798@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63147 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190413T190721 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190419T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190419T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELED :: Roundtable and Q&A with Hilton Als and Aisha Sabatini Sloan DESCRIPTION:****This event has been canceled due to changing travel plans. We hope to see you at the 4/18 Hopwood Awards Ceremony instead (Thursday\, April 18\, 6:00 PM\, Rackham Auditorium).****\n\nPlease join us in the Hopwood Room for a discussion between essayists Hilton Als and Aisha Sabatini Sloan. This lunchtime event will be catered\; food will be available at 11:30\, and the discussion will start at noon.\n\nHilton Als began contributing to The New Yorker in 1989\, writing pieces for ‘The Talk of the Town\,’ he became a staff writer in 1994\, theatre critic in 2002\, and lead theater critic in 2012. Week after week\, he brings to the magazine a rigorous\, sharp\, and lyrical perspective on acting\, playwriting\, and directing. With his deep knowledge of the history of performance—not only in theatre but in dance\, music\, and visual art—he shows us how to view a production and how to place its director\, its author\, and its performers in the ongoing continuum of dramatic art. His reviews are not simply reviews\; they are provocative contributions to the discourse on theatre\, race\, class\, sexuality\, and identity in America. Als is an associate professor of writing at Columbia University’s School of the Arts and has taught at Yale University\, Wesleyan\, and Smith College. He lives in New York City.\n\nAisha Sabatini Sloan was born and raised in Los Angeles. Her writing about race and current events is often coupled with analysis of art\, film and pop culture. She studied English Literature at Carleton College and went on to earn an MA in Cultural Studies and Studio Art from the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at NYU and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of Arizona. Her essay collection\, The Fluency of Light: Coming of Age in a Theater of Black and White was published by the University of Iowa Press in 2013. Her most recent essay collection\, Dreaming of Ramadi in Detroit\, was just chosen by Maggie Nelson as the winner of the 1913 Open Prose Contest and will be published in 2017. She is currently a Helen Zell Visiting Professor in Creative Nonfiction at the University of Michigan.

In a typical fMRI experiment\, each subject is observed at several hundred time points. At each point\, the blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) response is measured at 100\,000 or more locations (voxels). Typically\, these responses are modeled treating each voxel separately\, and no rationale for interpreting associations as effects is given. Building on Sobel and Lindquist (2014)\, who used potential outcomes to define unit and average effects at each voxel and time point\, we define and estimate both “point” and “cumu- lated” effects for brain regions. Second\, we construct a multi-subject multi-voxel multi-run whole brain causal model with explicit param- eters for regions. We justify estimation using BOLD responses av- eraged over voxels within regions\, making feasible estimation for all regions simultaneously\, and facilitating inference about association between effects in different regions. We apply the model to a study of pain\, finding effects in standard pain regions\; we also observe more cerebellar activity than observed in previous studies using prevailing methods. We visualize results using whole-brain maps of effects and spatio-temporal correlation plots that illustrate temporally lagged re- lationships between brain regions.\nBy Michael E.
