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.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

However\, most materials yield and deform plastically\, leaving permanent scars in the thin sheet. Indeed\, the simple process of crumpling a sheet of paper with our hands results in a complex network of interconnected permanent creases of many sizes and orientations\, along which the sheet preferentially bends. Thereby\, history dependence is introduced into the system. I will present an experimental study of the dynamics of crumpling. Specifically\, we investigate how a crease network evolves when a thin elastoplastic sheet is repeatedly crumpled\, opened up and then re-crumpled. Is there a maximally crumpled state after which the sheet can be crumpled without further plastic deformations\, or do creases and defects keep accumulating forever? Surprisingly\, we find that much of the complex dynamics of the crease patterns can be captured using one simple global measure\, which is independent of the crumpling history.

Often\, additional node features are also available together with the data on relationships. Both types of data contain important information about individual characteristics and the population structure. This thesis focuses on developing statistical machine learning methods and theory for network data with node features.\n\nWe first study the problem of community detection for networks with node features using a model-based approach. Most existing models make strong conditional independence assumptions between the network\, features and community memberships\, which limits the applicability of the model. In our work\, we develop a general statistical framework to describe the dependence structure between the link structure\, node features and communities. Further\, we propose two families of models that are the most general under this framework with the least conditional independence assumptions between the three components. We have established mild conditions for model identifiability and developed variational EM algorithms to estimate model parameters and community memberships. Extensive simulation studies and application to a food web and a lawyer friendship network indicate that the proposed methods work well.\n\nThe second project focuses on the problem of node classification using both individual features and the network. In a classical setting\, data points are assumed independent and identically distributed\, and a data point is classified using only its own features. When a network between the data points is available\, it often contains additional information about class memberships and can be utilized to improve classification performance. In this work\, we develop a general statistical framework for network augmented classification. Under this framework\, we derive the optimal Bayes classifiers for two general families of distributions incorporating node features and networks. Further\, we establish asymptotic consistency results for plug-in classifiers with respect to the optimal ones under the two families. We have also applied these general approaches to specific models and developed effective classifiers for practical use. The proposed methods have been evaluated using both simulation studies and a teenage friendship network\, and show promising results.\n\nThe final contribution of this thesis is on link prediction for incomplete network data. Most existing link prediction methods require at least partial observation of connections for every node. In real-world networks\, however\, there often exist nodes that do not have any link information\, and it is of interest to make link predictions for them using only their node features. We consider a general setup in which a network consists of three types of nodes\, nodes only having feature information\, nodes only having link information\, and nodes having both. Our goal is to make link predictions for nodes having only feature information. Under this setting\, we have proposed a family of generative models for incomplete networks with node features\, and we have developed a variational auto-encoder algorithm for model estimation and link prediction and investigated different encoder structures. We have also designed a cross-validation scheme under the problem setting for model selection. The proposed method has been evaluated on an online social network and two citation networks and achieves superior performance comparing with existing methods.

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. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock).

Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

In spite of the prominence of predictive coding-based accounts in cognitive neuroscience\, however\, little is currently known about whether and how predictive coding mechanisms differ between individuals. In our laboratory\, we have recently begun pursuing a research program that aims to systematically examine such inter-individual differences\, with a particular focus on language processing as the cognitive domain of interest. Here\, we will present what we have learned so far. Our results provide evidence for extensive inter-individual differences even in young\, healthy adults. They further suggest that this variability is related to basic neurobiological influences on perceptual sampling and information processing (individual alpha frequency)\, as well as to the quality of an individual’s language model. We will discuss potential consequences of this variability for predictive coding architectures as well as implications for a lifespan-based perspective on the neurobiology of cognitive processing.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan\, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, and the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library. \n\nThe continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment\, distribution\, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result\, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. 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.

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.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

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.

Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

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.

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

For 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.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

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:59301-14728358@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:20190424T181532 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190428T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190428T140000 SUMMARY:Performance:UMMA Pop Up: Music with Back Pocket Duo DESCRIPTION:\n\n UID:62916-15494567@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62916 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Family,Museum,Music,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190306T085324 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190428T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190428T140000 SUMMARY:Presentation:The Sky Tonight: The Current Night Sky DESCRIPTION:New planetarium shows and live Star Talks will take visitors beyond space to explore the oceans' reefs\, Earth’s geology\, weather\, and more\, all with surround sound and in new\, comfortable seats!

Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

Religious and ritual objects\, on the other hand\, stimulate an array of multisensory experiences. Focusing on works from UMMA’s collection associated with different types of Japanese Buddhism\, we engage all of the six senses in this exhibition. These six are integral to Buddhist devotion: sight\, hearing\, smell\, touch\, taste\, and mind (or the activity of thinking\, including what is perceived via the other senses). The “Six Senses” gallery experience extends beyond vision to include: the sound of chanting and ritual implements\; the fragrance of incense\; the feel of bronze\, ceramic\, and silk\; and the creation of mental images. Gain a deeper understanding of the nature and histories of objects used in Buddhist practice with a docent tour of this fascinating exhibition.\n\nLead support for The Six Senses of Buddhism is provided by the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

The 13 new songs written by founder Jay Farrar confront our turbulent politics and articulate the clarity and comfort music can offer in the tumult. “There are so many forces driving our country apart\,” observes Jay. “What can we do to bring our society back together?” The country and blues sounds explored by Son Volt on its last two records (2013’s \"Honky Tonk\" and 2017’s \"Notes of Blue\") linger in the grooves of \"Union.\" But the new record nods to many other mile markers along the band’s 25-year path. Some tunes offer a powerful return to the ringing lyrical clarity of 2005’s \"Okemah\" and \"Melody of Riot\,\"and 2007’s \"The Search.\" Others hearken back to the freewheeling poetic melodicism of 1994’s \"Trace\" and 1997’s \"Straightaways.\" This is an album and a show that see one of Americana's great bands both looking back and continuing to drive forward.\n\nKentucky songwriter Ian Noe opens.

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.

A large experimental program is underway to extend the sensitivity of direct detection experiments\, however\, such experiments are becoming increasingly difficult and costly. Recently\, we proposed paleo-detectors as analternative approach to the direct detection of dark matter: Instead of searching for dark matter induced nuclear recoils in a real-time laboratory experiment\, we propose to search for the traces of dark matter interactions recorded in ancient minerals over geological time-scales. In this talk I will discuss this proposal\, including ways to mitigate backgrounds and methods to read out tracks from ancient minerals. I will also briefly discuss some preliminary results for applications of paleo-detectors beyond dark matter\, e.g. for searching for neutrinos from core collapse supernovae.\n UID:63406-15671658@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63406 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190429T181508 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190429T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190429T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Philicities\, Fugalities\, and Equilibrium Constants: DESCRIPTION: Our understanding of polar organic reactivity is based on relationships between rate and equilibrium constants. Thus\, strong bases are generally considered to be good nucleophiles as well as poor nucleofuges. Though exceptions from this general rule have long been known\, a systematic analysis has been problematic\, because rate constants for the reactions of nucleophiles with C-centered electrophiles have often been correlated with Brønsted basicities (i. e.\, affinities towards the proton). For that reason\, the origin of deviations from Brønsted correlations could often not unambiguously be assigned.\n\n \n\nIn the last two decades\, we have created comprehensive nucleophilicity\,1 nucleofugality\,2 and Lewis basicity scales3 by using differently substituted benzhydrylium ions with widely variable reactivity but equal steric demand as reference electrophiles\,1 electrofuges\,2 and Lewis acids.3 Relationships between these kinetic and thermodynamic parameters will be discussed with emphasis on examples where the commonly assumed proportionalities break down.4\nI will discuss the origin of several counterintuitive phenomena\, e.g. why strong nucleophiles can also be good nucleofuges\, and why weak nucleophiles sometimes substitute strong nucleophiles in SN2 reactions. It will be shown that solvolysis rate constants of alkyl bromides and chlorides\, but not of carboxylates provide accurate information about thermodynamic stabilities (more precise: Lewis acidities) of carbocations. Eventually it will be discussed why carbocations\, which are formed slowly in SN1 reactions are not always good electrophiles.5 The role of intrinsic barriers for controlling organic reactivity will be analyzed.\n \n1.

Although it is understood that these types of adversity alter the brain and increase the risk for problems\, it is not known what forms of adversity are most pernicious and how they affect the brain. In the presentation\, Dr. Monk will describe a study comprised of predominantly adolescents from low-income backgrounds who have been followed since birth. Using brain imaging methods\, Dr. Monk shows how two specific and chronic forms of adversity\, violence exposure and social deprivation\, impact brain development in different ways. At the same time\, the adolescents show a striking degree of resilience\, despite the challenging circumstances. Dr. Monk will discuss both social and biological mechanisms that might explain the resilience. \n\n\nBio\n\nDr. Monk is a Professor in the Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry. He is also a Research Professor in the Survey Research Center at ISR and the Center for Human Growth and Development. Dr. Monk received his PhD in Child Psychology with a minor in Neuroscience from the University of Minnesota. He then went on to the NIMH Intramural Research Program where he was a postdoc and later a fellow. His research program involves two active and related lines of research. In the first line\, he is examining how poverty-related stressors and the developmental timing of those stressors impact brain development\, stress hormone regulation and anxiety as well as depression symptoms during adolescence. For the second line of research\, he is investigating how effective treatments for anxiety (cognitive behavioral therapy or medication) alter brain function and how these brain alterations relate to clinical outcome in children and adolescents.

He has released multiple albums of radically reimagined folksongs on the Bedroom Community and Nonesuch labels. Called \"part preservationist\, part visionary\" by the Boston Globe\, Sam offers reworkings of traditional American ballads\, hymns and work songs\, with the New York Times writing that he \"transforms all of the songs\, changing their colors and loading them with trapdoors.\" Along the way Sam has recorded or performed as a guest artists with musicians such as pianist Jason Moran\, indie rock band Bon Iver\, and Glen Hansard.\n\nFlashpapr is a Michigan band\, known (or faintly remembered) for playing broken folk music between 1996 and 2004. After a period of inactivity\, Flashpapr now performs as a duo of its original members\, Fred Thomas (Saturday Looks Good To Me) and Jacob Danziger (recordings with His Name Is Alive\, Steve Roden\, Cynthia Nelson\, The Naysayer and Doveman). Along with Zach Wallace\, Ben Bracken\, and Ida Pearle\, their three albums captured the sad and hopeful feeling of being alive\, and their word-of-mouth live performances (in kitchens\, living rooms\, garages and back yards) were uncomfortably earnest attempts to invert the relationship between the band and audience. \"You are my best friend\, you are the most beautiful thing I keep inside my heart\" was basically the idea.

Waas (Member)\n\nPresentation Info:\nDate: April 30th\, 2019\nTime: 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM\nLocation: McDivitt Conference Room\, 1044 FXB Building\n\nGuided wave methods are widely used for damage detection in the field of structure health monitoring (SHM). If damages are to be effectively and accurately detected\, a strong and deep understanding of wave propagation in typical structures must be developed\, considering complexities associated with guided waves interactions with structural boundaries\, transducers and various damage scenarios. The state of the art in numerical simulation mostly limits to finite element analyses that are either unable to handle the fine spatial-temporal resolutions required by guided wave simulation\, or are computationally inefficient. Local Interaction Simulation Approach (LISA) offers a competing solution by exploiting the massively parallelization capability of the algorithm and the extensibility to incorporate sophisticated local mechanisms that allow for coupled modeling of transducers and damages. \n\nThis dissertation presents the development of the multi-GPU enabled UM-LISA numerical framework for guided wave modeling and propagation simulation and several applications in SHM and elastic metamaterial research. Multiple formulation features were developed and numerically implemented that enable versatile simulation of wave propagation in finite damped medium with various damage scenarios. UM-LISA is later extended to address different problems\, including the characterization of fatigue damage in aluminum plate\, the investigation of wave fields generated by phase arrays of multiple piezoelectric wafers\, and the performance characterization of 3-D printed functional graded acoustic black holes. The wave propagation prediction from these applications are also tested against experimental data. The agreement between simulation and experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of utilizing numerical simulation for the investigation of wave propagation in SHM and elastic metamaterials.

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:59301-14728360@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:20190426T132756 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190430T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190430T100000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Ph.D. Defense: Hina Aftab Khan DESCRIPTION:Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy among women in the US\, responsible for 14\,000 deaths per year\, and five-year survival rate of 25%. Within the primary and metastatic microenvironments in the ovary\, peritoneal ascites and omentum\, the ovarian cancer cells are subject to several mechanical stresses\, including compressive stresses generated by uncontrolled cell growth in a confining space\, increased tissue stiffness due to tumor cell extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling\, and increased interstitial fluid pressure due to the angiogenic growth of new leaky blood vessels. However\, current models to study these stimuli within the ovarian tumor microenvironment are lacking in biophysical cues\, relevant extracellular matrix dynamics and the ability to consistently sustain cells through the detachment process. The absence of consistent optimization of matrix composition and degradation mechanics also leads to occurrences of increased cytolysis during in vitro experimentation. In order to meet this critical unmet need\, my Master’s thesis is focused on developing extracellular matrices that feature comparable consistent compositional\, structural and mechanical cues. Additionally\, these matrices facilitate biophysical modulation to be applicable over a wider range in a manner that allows for improved experimental precision. Given the range of matrix stiffness\, permeability and porosity\, I have developed and characterized hydrogels for designing extracellular mimics for ovarian cancer mechanotransduction studies.\n\nIn this work\, I highlight the need for optimization of interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogels’ homogeneity\, thereby providing uniform adhesion during mechano-transduction experiments. Further\, I optimized cell harvesting via thorough cell detachment without causing cytolysis for downstream analysis including\, flow cytometry on detached cells. Moreover\, I have characterized the rheologic\, transport and structural properties of IPN hydrogels\, and demonstrate how these can account for variation in experimental results. Overall\, my thesis provides insight into the significance of hydrogel matrix composition when constructing cell scaffolds for specific cellular microenvironments.\n\nOwing to their success as natural hydrogel scaffolds\, I utilized alginate and agarose to design the ovarian cancer extracellular matrices. Within these networks\, collagen served as the second component of the IPN network\, providing an anchoring fibrillar network for the cells within the otherwise non-fibrillar material\, and further enhancing the biocompatibility of the scaffold. I varied the IPN hydrogel composition to demonstrate a relevant range structural and mechanical properties. Further\, I characterized the homogeneity\, morphology\, fiber structure\, stiffness\, gelation time\, permeability and porosity of IPN hydrogels. Lastly\, I evaluated ovarian cancer cells for cellular function post-harvest from IPN hydrogels\, to demonstrate successful detachment and degradation of the surrounding matrix.\n\nThe results of this study enable tailoring of the IPN hydrogel extracellular matrices according to required mechanical\, structural\, and biophysical parameters for not only ovarian cancer\, but also other originating tissues for improved robustness and reliability of the in vitro cancer bioengineering models.\n\nChair: Dr. Geeta Mehta UID:63402-15669549@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63402 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,bme,Dissertation,engineer,engineering,Graduate Students,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Research LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL) - 2203 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190117T043640 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190430T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190430T110000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Drink Water DESCRIPTION:Learn how to increase your daily water intake!\n\nWhat is Lorem Ipsum? \nLorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

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

For 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.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

However\, experimental methods that enable in vivo characterization of this multi-layered organ are currently lacking. Soft tissue artificial phantoms can be used to diagnose certain skin diseases or to validate the efficacy of medical procedures. This study proposes a non-invasive method to obtain three-dimensional displacement measurements of soft tissue using suction and digital image correlation. We developed a measurement device capable of applying suction loading while capturing images of the full-field deformation of the area of interest. Soft tissue phantoms were fabricated\, and a temporary speckle pattern was applied to each surface to provide unique features required for image correlation. A soft tissue phantom with less stiff inclusions of various diameters and a 3D printed ellipsoid was prepared. Analysis was performed using an open-source software\, DICe\, and both peak displacement and pressure were further parameterized for comparison metrics. The stiffness of each material was validated by comparison to each other and a hard surface. The softer inclusions were not detected\, however\, the material with inclusions behaved differently than the control\, indicating an overall change in material properties. Preliminary results support the use of the parameterizations as comparison metrics and demonstrate the successful application of 3D-DIC to measure deformation of a surface under suction loading. The device can be modified in the future to enable measurement of surfaces with larger contours or smaller regions of interest. The compact design of the instrument permits data collection in a range of environmental conditions outside of the lab\, facilitating experiments that are currently not possible. \n\nChair: Deanna Gates UID:63350-15653092@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63350 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,bme,Dissertation,engineering,Graduate,Graduate Students,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Research LOCATION:Industrial and Operations Engineering Building - 1610 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190404T101240 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190430T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190430T150000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan DESCRIPTION:Using an interdisciplinary lens\, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

Nevertheless\, as the list of cataloged RNAs expands there is a parallel lag in our understanding of the mechanistic basis of many RNA functions. This is in many ways due to a dearth of precise biochemical methods to understand RNA expression\, structure\, and function. Within this seminar I will detail our lab’s efforts to bring the power of chemistry to bare on these challenges\, with particular focus on developing novel chemical reactions to measure RNA structure and chemical genetic approaches to assay RNA expression in a cell-specific manner. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRobert Spitale (University of California Irvine) UID:61059-15027186@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61059 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chemistry 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190430T184803 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190430T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190430T190000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Webinar: Human and Environmental Well-being in Alaska's Kachemak Bay Watershed: An Ecosystem Services Assessment DESCRIPTION:The Kachemak Bay watershed\, located on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska\, encompasses several terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems that provide a range of benefits and services that are not easily quantified.

Even so\, Americans have often resorted to more dramatic paths to dis-empower the chief executive. \n \n“How to Get Rid of a President” is a lively narrative showcasing various dark sides of the nation’s history: a stew of election dramas\, national tragedies\, and presidential departures mixed with party intrigue\, personal betrayal\, and backroom shenanigans. \n\nIn this briskly-paced and approachable sweep of history\, Priess barnstorms through history\, showing all the ways – from impeachment to death – that presidents have either left office prematurely or just barely avoided doing so. While the pomp and circumstance of presidential elections might draw more attention\, the way that presidents are removed teaches us much more about our political order.\n\n\nFree Admission.
