It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M. Cox.\n\nLead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and the Department of the History of Art.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

The project’s goal is to embody and communicate the historic legacy of the distributed networks of design and fabrication of both industry and agriculture in the Great Lakes / Midwest Region.\n\nCloud/Bank features advanced manufacturing techniques in architectural design that are unique to Taubman College. The students worked on parts of the project at the College’s FABLab. The project leverages a robotic fabrication technique developed by Assistant Professor and FabLab Director Wes McGee. The process utilizes a six-axis industrial robot augmented with a servo-controlled wire bending system to form three-dimensional shapes out of standardized steel rods.\n\nU-M is one of five universities selected to participate in Exhibit Columbus\, along with Ball State University College of Architecture and Planning\; The Ohio State University Austin E. Knowlton School of Architecture\; University of Cincinnati School of Architecture and Interior Design\; and the University of Kentucky College of Design\, School of Architecture. Each university received $10\,000 to support the cost of materials\, fabrication and installation of the project.\n\nExhibit Columbus is an annual exploration of architecture\, art\, design\, and community in Columbus\, Indiana. This year's exhibition included outdoor installations by five Miller Prize-winning architecture firms\, five international design studios\, and six Midwestern architecture and design schools.

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

I’ll begin the talk by reviewing some of the earlier work that characterizes single-enzyme/single-substrate (SE/SS) reactions. At the same time\, I’ll introduce some of the principal theorems of GSPT and demonstrate their applicability to SE/SS reactions. Finally\, I’ll conclude with a description of my current work on coupled reactions. Coupled reactions generally consist of multiple fast timescales and multiple slow timescales\; thus\, they serve as a novel platform from which to study the applicability of GSPT in higher dimensional dynamical systems.\n\n UID:48107-11180649@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48107 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191209T094000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180108T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180108T160000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:German Lab DESCRIPTION:The German Lab is open Monday-Thursday 1-4 every week.

The project’s goal is to embody and communicate the historic legacy of the distributed networks of design and fabrication of both industry and agriculture in the Great Lakes / Midwest Region.\n\nCloud/Bank features advanced manufacturing techniques in architectural design that are unique to Taubman College. The students worked on parts of the project at the College’s FABLab. The project leverages a robotic fabrication technique developed by Assistant Professor and FabLab Director Wes McGee. The process utilizes a six-axis industrial robot augmented with a servo-controlled wire bending system to form three-dimensional shapes out of standardized steel rods.\n\nU-M is one of five universities selected to participate in Exhibit Columbus\, along with Ball State University College of Architecture and Planning\; The Ohio State University Austin E. Knowlton School of Architecture\; University of Cincinnati School of Architecture and Interior Design\; and the University of Kentucky College of Design\, School of Architecture. Each university received $10\,000 to support the cost of materials\, fabrication and installation of the project.\n\nExhibit Columbus is an annual exploration of architecture\, art\, design\, and community in Columbus\, Indiana. This year's exhibition included outdoor installations by five Miller Prize-winning architecture firms\, five international design studios\, and six Midwestern architecture and design schools. In Columbus\, Cloud/Bank was located near Central Middle School\, designed by Perkins + Will\, and Lincoln Signature Academy\, designed by Gunnar Birkerts & Associates.

In fact the most recent measurement\, Brookhaven E821\, reveals a 3-4 sigma discrepancy with the SM prediction. A new effort at Fermilab using the Brookhaven storage ring magnet will provide 20 times more muons over two years\, which\, combined with a number of technical advances\, is expected to provide a factor of 4 improvement of the combined statistical and systematic error. Production data collection will commence in January\, 2018\, and E821-level statistics should be acquired in a few months. In this talk\, I will set the stage and describe the eclectic experimental effort that brings together expertise in accelerator physics\, particle physics\, nuclear physics\, atomic physics and precision measurement.\n UID:48014-11170143@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48014 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180123T123013 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180108T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180108T180000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume 101: The Basics DESCRIPTION:*RSVP is required for this program.

He applies this to both his graphic design and fine art. With so much to see and ruminate on in life\, Pappas keeps his hands busy by putting pen to paper. This body of work consists of portraits drawn with ink on a variety of surfaces including paper\, basswood and aspen panels in an offbeat pen and ink style that leans heavily on pointillism and crosshatching. The subjects range from athletes to musicians to personal friends.

Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

Growing up in the country in Kansas\, she had wide open spaces to explore\, as well as many of her family’s dilapidated farm buildings and overgrown pasture lands. At the University of Kansas\, she began working with street sign material and has continued to incorporate aluminum and vinyl in her work. Part of this series is included in the 2017 Women to Watch: Metals exhibition at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City\, Missouri\, where she lives and works.

It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

Thurnau Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan. He received an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Computer Science and Psychology from Carnegie Mellon University and postdoctoral training in cognitive neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania. Professor Polk’s research uses functional imaging of the human brain to investigate the neural architecture underlying cognition and how that architecture is influenced by age\, by experience\, and by genetics. He was also named to the Princeton Review list of the best 300 professors in the U.S. \n\nAging is associated with subtle declines in some cognitive function\, but not others. As we age\, we become a little more forgetful\, we get distracted more easily\, and we can’t process information quite as quickly. At the same time\, world knowledge\, emotional processing and what’s sometimes called wisdom tend to remain stable and may even improve with age. Why is that? This talk will answer that question by explaining what happens to our brains as we age\, as well as discussing some scientifically verified approaches that can help our brains age more gracefully.\n\nThis is the fifth in OLLI’S distinguished lecture series for 2017-18. A variety of topics will be covered. There is one lecture each month\, for a total of ten. The next lecture will be on February 13\, 2018. The subject is Getting into Michigan Musical Theater.

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M. Cox.\n\nLead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and the Department of the History of Art.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

I would argue that its next-generation instantiation is best understood using rate-distortion theory. I use rate-distortion theory to inspire a simple model of sensory adaptation. In randomly drawn\, fluctuating environments\, this model explains the absence of sensory neurogenesis and predicts that biological sensors are poised to just barely confuse ``minimal confounds'' in the environment.

Many strategies can be employed to manipulate topological defects in these fluids with long-range order\, either by external fields\, or by choosing an appropriate topography of the confining surfaces\, or dispersing colloidal particles in liquid crystals. Through combinations of these strategies\, it is possible to generate defect arrays which then can be used for optics or to promote self-assembly of colloidal particles. I will discuss the behavior of a colloidal particle in liquid crystals next to an undulated surface\, and the case of focal conic defects in smectic liquid crystals that can be assembled on curved interfaces to form an array of micro-lenses. I will also discuss defect arrays in nematic liquid crystals driven by electrical fields\, which can form large\, regular and reconfigurable structures. \n UID:42196-9584884@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42196 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171122T141935 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180109T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180109T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Cross Campus Transfer to LSA Information Sessions DESCRIPTION:Are you thinking about transferring to LSA from another University of Michigan school or college?

The project’s goal is to embody and communicate the historic legacy of the distributed networks of design and fabrication of both industry and agriculture in the Great Lakes / Midwest Region.\n\nCloud/Bank features advanced manufacturing techniques in architectural design that are unique to Taubman College. The students worked on parts of the project at the College’s FABLab. The project leverages a robotic fabrication technique developed by Assistant Professor and FabLab Director Wes McGee. The process utilizes a six-axis industrial robot augmented with a servo-controlled wire bending system to form three-dimensional shapes out of standardized steel rods.\n\nU-M is one of five universities selected to participate in Exhibit Columbus\, along with Ball State University College of Architecture and Planning\; The Ohio State University Austin E. Knowlton School of Architecture\; University of Cincinnati School of Architecture and Interior Design\; and the University of Kentucky College of Design\, School of Architecture. Each university received $10\,000 to support the cost of materials\, fabrication and installation of the project.\n\nExhibit Columbus is an annual exploration of architecture\, art\, design\, and community in Columbus\, Indiana. This year's exhibition included outdoor installations by five Miller Prize-winning architecture firms\, five international design studios\, and six Midwestern architecture and design schools. In Columbus\, Cloud/Bank was located near Central Middle School\, designed by Perkins + Will\, and Lincoln Signature Academy\, designed by Gunnar Birkerts & Associates. Following the exhibition in Columbus\, Cloud/Bank will be on view in the Liberty Research Annex Gallery through February 11\, 2018.

The West’s Democratic Challenge: Central Europe’s Variant and What America Can Do DESCRIPTION:The transatlantic community of democracies – aka “The West” – faces its most profound challenge since the Cold War\, and in some ways since the 1930s. Despite the achievement of a Europe (nearly) whole\, free and at peace for the first time in history\, the West has lost much of its self confidence\, and faces challenges from without (Putin’s Russia) and from within. The challenges from within include economic stresses (stagnation\, youth unemployment\, and widening income disparities\, especially in the U.S.)\, seeming political dysfunction\, and issues of national identity. These have combined to generate widespread doubts about the fundamentals of the West’s strategy and even its values that have seemed secure since the early post-WWII period. Much has been written about Central Europe’s nationalist and nativist turn\, including “illiberal democracy” in Hungary\, populism in Slovakia and Bulgaria\, and an inward-looking Polish nationalism. But these are not singular\; there is no particular problem with Central Europe\, rather\, the nations of Central Europe face their own variants of the common challenge which we\, the nations of the West\, all face. America cannot fix political challenges in Europe\, but given America’s history in Central Europe – as champion of national aspirations and democracy during the Cold War and of a united Europe during the generation that followed – America has some agency and responsibility commensurate with that agency. \n\nWhat can we do? First\, showing up is half the battle. The U.S. needs to be present with a strategic message of why the West and its values matter. The 100th Anniversary of the fall of empires in 1918 provides an excellent occasion\, especially in Prague\, Bratislava\, and Warsaw. Second\, we need a message to governments and societies that takes account of Central European concerns\, especially their sensitivity toward their newly-regained national sovereignty\, including in the context of Europe’s difficult debate on refugees. Patriotism and national pride are not the same as chauvinism\, though they can degenerate into it. Third\, we need to help the Central Europeans defend themselves against Russian aggression\, both overt but more importantly aggression via disinformation and propaganda\, about which America is learning much. Fourth\, without unproductive lecturing\, America needs to convey messages when governments in Central Europe put at risk democratic fundamentals. We need to be judicious\, not shrill\, in our tactics and selective in our battles. Fifth\, American leadership in the West\, and the Free World more broadly\, remains indispensable: when we do not lead\, others will fill the vacuum. \n\nIn his forty-year Foreign Service career\, Ambassador Fried played a key role in designing and implementing American policy in Europe after the fall of the Soviet Union. As Special Assistant and NSC Senior Director for Presidents Clinton and Bush\, Ambassador to Poland\, and Assistant Secretary of State for Europe (2005-09)\, Ambassador Fried crafted the policy of NATO enlargement to Central European nations and\, in parallel\, NATO-Russia relations\, thus advancing the goal of Europe whole\, free\, and at peace. During those years\, the West’s community of democracy and security grew in Europe. Ambassador Fried helped lead the West’s response to Moscow’s aggression against Ukraine starting in 2014: as State Department Coordinator for Sanctions Policy\, he crafted U.S. sanctions against Russia\, the largest U.S. sanctions program to date\, and negotiated the imposition of similar sanctions by Europe\, Canada\, Japan and Australia. Having retired from the Foreign Service in April\, 2017\, Ambassador Fried is currently a Distinguished Fellow with the Atlantic Council.

The eigenvalues of these matrices describe the evolutionary response of the population to selection. However\, they may be difficult to estimate from limited samples when the number of traits is large. I will discuss several phenomena concerning the eigenvalues of classical MANOVA estimators in such high-dimensional settings\, including dispersion of the bulk eigenvalue distribution\, bias and aliasing of large \"spike\" eigenvalues\, and Tracy-Widom limits at the spectral edges. I will then describe a new statistical procedure that uses these results to consistently estimate the large population eigenvalues in a high-dimensional regime. The proofs develop and extend techniques in random matrix theory and free probability\, which I will also briefly describe.\n\nThis is joint work with Iain M. Johnstone\, Yi Sun\, Mark W.

Modern projection imaging is typically performed using an active matrix\, flat panel imager that is comprised of a converter layer overlying a monolithic\, large-area pixelated array fabricated using a thin-film amorphous silicon process. The images are formed by converting x-ray photons into electrical signals\, and then integrating those signals over a frame time – a method referred to as fluence integration.\n\nRecently\, imagers employing a different method for creating x-ray images – referred to as photon counting – have been developed and used clinically to perform mammographic imaging (a form of projection imaging). Photon counting involves measuring the energy of each interacting x-ray photon and digitally recording the number of times photons exceed one or more energy thresholds. Because the imaging information is stored digitally\, photon counting imagers are less susceptible to noise than fluence-integrating imagers – potentially improving image quality and/or decreasing the amount of radiation required to acquire an image.\n\nCurrent photon counting imagers are based on crystalline silicon and have limited detection areas. An imager with larger detection area would allow photon counting to be used in other projection imaging modalities – such as radiography (which produces\, for example\, chest x-ray images) and fluoroscopy (which is used\, for example\, to non-invasively insert stents and other medical devices). However\, strategies to increase detection area\, such as tiling multiple arrays\, result in increased imager complexity and/or cost. For this reason\, our group has been exploring the possibility of creating photon counting arrays using a different semiconductor material\, referred to as low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si). This material is fabricated using another thin-film process (which also allows the economic manufacture of monolithic\, large-area arrays) and has favorable properties for creating complex\, high speed circuits.\n\nUsing poly-Si\, a set of prototype arrays have been designed and fabricated. The pixels of the arrays have a pitch of 1 mm and consist of four components: an amplifier\, a comparator\, a clock generator\, and a counter. Several circuit variations were created for each component\, and circuit simulations were performed in order to determine the energy resolution and count rate capability of each variation of each component.\n\nFor the amplifier component\, all circuit variations were determined to have an energy resolution of ~10% when presented with a 70 keV input x-ray (a typical x‑ray energy used in diagnostic imaging). This degree of energy resolution is comparable to that reported for photon counting imagers fabricated using crystalline silicon. In addition\, while count rates for the amplifier component were determined to be roughly one order of magnitude too low for radiographic and fluoroscopic applications (which require rates on the order of 1 million counts per second per square millimeter [cps/mm2])\, a hypothetical poly-Si amplifier circuit variation was identified and determined to have count rate capabilities suitable for these applications (with energy resolution similar to that of the prototype designs). In addition\, the count rates for the comparator\, clock generator\, and counter circuit variations were found to range from 100 to 3000 kcps/mm2. Finally\, due to on-going improvements in the poly-Si fabrication process (driven largely by the display industry)\, future photon counting arrays employing poly-Si could have pixel pitches as small as 250 um – a size suitable for radiographic and fluoroscopic imaging.\n\nDate: Wednesday\, January 10\, 2018\nTime: 10:00 AM\nLocation: 2210 Lurie Engineering Center (LEC)\nChair: Dr. Larry E.

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

European Regions: Ethnopolitical Movement in Upper Silesia DESCRIPTION:Despite the announced “end of history” and irrelevance of the “national question” in the age of transnationalism\, and in particular of Europeanization\, ethnopolitical movements remain strong and sound. From secessionist Catalonia or Scotland to ethno-national affirmations in Bretagne\, Gagauzia\, or Transcarpathia\, regional identities are being activated. To account for the multiplication rather than reduction of ethnic claims in the European space\, this presentation takes stock from one such awakening in post-communist Poland\, in the region of Upper Silesia. On the one hand\, it will be shown why and how Silesian ethnopolitical entrepreneurs engage in activating Silesian identity attributes (language\, history). On the other hand\, the presentation will address the ways Silesians respond to the proposed group definition and claims. Both elite and societal processes are intertwined with transnational European policies and identity pressures. While ethnopolitical movements take advantage of the opportunities at the European level to consolidate their political-national claims\, the same European level limits the scope of Silesian self-identifications to an “occasional identity\,” along with the Polish and the European identity dimensions. Thus\, the proliferation of ethnopolitical mobilizations is related to transnational processes\, but these same processes blur identities as a result of accelerated interactions with the external world. \n \nMagdalena Dembinska is associate professor at the Department of Political Science\, University of Montreal.

Often\, the new physics is likely to be an s-channel resonance. In this case\, a simplified model of the resonance can translate an estimated signal cross section into bounds on the product of the dominant production and decay branching ratios. This quickly reveals whether a given class of models could possibly produce a signal of the required size at the LHC. This talk will outline a general framework and show how it operates for resonances of varying widths and with different numbers of production and decay modes. It will also discuss applications to cases of experimental interest\, including resonances decaying to di-bosons\, di-leptons\, or di-jets. If the LHC experiments start reporting searches for BSM resonances in terms of the simplified limits variable ζ defined here\, the community will home in more quickly on the models most likely to explain any observed excess.

In the past few years\, three dimensional (3D) printing technology has also joined the effort of miniaturization with high resolution 3D printers capable of fabricating micrometer scale objects. Furthermore\, the increase in material choice has led to an explosive growth in microfabrication technology based biomedical applications. This research\, divided into two parts\, describes the development of 5 novel Bio-Micro-System devices. The term Bio-Micro-System has been used here to describe BioMEMS and 3D printed devices\, with the dimensions of key components ranging from micrometers to a millimeter. Part A is focused on ‘Medical’ Micro-System devices that can potentially solve common medical problems. Part B is focused on ‘Biological’ Micro-System devices/tools for facilitating/enabling biological research.\n\nPART A- Medical Micro-Systems\n\n- Two implantable\, electronics-free\, IOP microsensors for the medical management of glaucoma. 1) Near Infrared Fluorescence-based Optomechanical (NiFO) technology: Consists of an implantable\, miniaturized pressure sensor that ‘optically encodes’ pressure in the near infrared (NIR) regime. A non-implantable\, portable and compact optical head is used to excite the sensor and collect the emitted NIR light. The thesis discusses optimized device architecture and microfabrication approaches for best performance commercialization. 2) Displacement based Contrast Imaging (DCI) technology: A proof of concept\, fluid pressure sensing scheme is shown to operate over a pressure range of 0–100 mbar (∼2 mbar resolution between 0–20 mbar\,∼10 mbar resolution between 20–100 mbar)\, with a maximum error of <7% throughout its dynamic range. The thesis introduces the technology and discusses its application as an IOP sensor.\n\n-A Touch-activated Sanitizer Dispensing (TSD) system for combating community acquired infections. The TSD can be mounted on any surface that is exposed to high human traffic (eg. door handle) and consists of an array of human-powered\, miniaturized valves that deliver a small amount of disinfectant when touch actuated. The device disinfects the person’s hand that is touching it while being self-sterilized at the same time. The thesis describes the design and implementation of a proof of concept TSD that can disinfect an area equivalent to the size of a thumb. A significant (~ 10 fold) reduction in microbiological load is demonstrated on the fingertip and device surface within the first 24 hours. The size and footprint of the TSD can be scaled up as needed to improve hand hygiene compliance.\n\nPART B- Biological Micro-Systems\n\n-A cryo-anesthesia microfluidic chip for immobilizing Drosophila melanogaster larvae. We developed a microfluidic chip for immobilizingDrosophila melanogaster larva by creating a cold micro-environment around the larva. After characterizing on chip temperature distribution and larval body movement\, results indicate that the method is appropriate for repetitive and reversible\, short-term (several minutes) immobilization. The method offers the added advantage of using the same chip to accommodate and immobilize larvae across all developmental stages (1st instar-late 3rd instar). Besides the demonstrated applications of the chip in high resolution observation of sub cellular events such as mitochondrial trafficking in neurons and neuro-synaptic growth\, we envision the use of this method in a wide variety of biological imaging studies employing the Drosophila larval system\, including cellular development and other studies.\n\n-A 3D printed millifluidic device for CO2 immobilization of Caenorhabditis elegans populations. We developed a novel 3D printed device for immobilizing populations of Caenorhabditis elegans by creating a localized CO2 environment while the nematodes are maintained on the surface of agar. The results indicate that the method is easy to implement\, is appropriate for short-term (20 minutes) immobilization and allows recovery within a few minutes. We envision its usage in a wide variety of biological studies including scoring lifespan assays and fluorescence imaging applications.\n\nDate: Wednesday\, January 10\, 2018\nTime: 12:30 PM\nLocation: 2203 LBME\nChair: Dr. Nikos Chronis UID:48081-11178038@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48081 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Engineering,Graduate,Lecture,Life Science,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering - 2203 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191209T094000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180110T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180110T160000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:German Lab DESCRIPTION:The German Lab is open Monday-Thursday 1-4 every week.

We'll explore how the federal government and states are supporting or limiting efforts to enhance place-based resilience.\n\nSome analysts predict that the word of the year for 2017 will be resilience. But what does it mean\, how is it operationalized (or not)\, and what do we need to do across scales and sectors to create a more resilient nation?\n\nStults works with local authorities on climate resilience and sustainability initiatives. She was one of the authors of the Adaptation Chapter of the 3rd National Climate Assessment and a contributing author to the Urban Technical Input. Previously\, she was the national Climate Director for ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability\, where she worked with more than 600 local governments around the nation to advance their climate mitigation\, adaptation\, and sustainability efforts. She received her PhD from the University of Michigan in urban resilience\, her M.A. in Climate and Society from Columbia University\, and her B.S. in Marine Biology and Environmental Science from the University of New England. She serves on the City of Ann Arbor Transportation Commission\, is a Board Member of the American Society of Adaptation Professionals (ASAP)\, and serves as co-chair of the Ethics Working Group of ASAP.\n\nEmergent Research events are aimed at better understanding the various types of research undertaken across campus\, particularly as they relate to library services and support\, opportunities for collaboration\, data management and preservation\, and beyond.

Next\, it will draw on social science research to illuminate a variety of underlying causes for gender disparities in STEM. These\, in turn\, will be shown to suggest an array of concrete actions that individual scientists\, group leaders\, and institutions can take to improve gender diversity\; a few that the speaker has found especially effective in her academic leadership roles will be noted. While the primary focus of the talk will be on women in physics\, some of the broader issues encountered by sexual and gender minorities in STEM will also be discussed. In the remainder of the presentation\, two particular interventions in which the speaker has been involved for the past several years will be covered in more detail: one aimed at building career skills of women physicists in developing nations and the other aimed at improving the climate for LGBT physicists here in the United States. These illustrate the wide array of opportunities open to all of us for making STEM fields more inclusive.\n UID:47573-10953044@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47573 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180101T221313 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180110T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180110T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: CLOUD/BANK DESCRIPTION:Cloud/Bank is a temporary installation designed for Exhibit Columbus\, a 2017 exhibition and conference in Columbus\, Indiana\, by Architecture Lecturer Michael (Mick) Kennedy and a team of Taubman College M.Arch. students: Bob Allsop\, Sophie Anstreicher\, Scott Chriss\, Chiao-Chun Chung\, Julia Dallas\, Kelly Gregory\, Karl Heckman\, Rachael Henry\, Troy Huckendubler\, Onur Kamburoglu\, Panquat Kyesmu\, Jenny Lee\, Sarah Munchow\, Kelsey Reynolds\, Dan Smith\, Tyler Whitney\, Paco Wu\, Shujie Xie\, Jon Yates\, and Yunsen Zhong. The project’s goal is to embody and communicate the historic legacy of the distributed networks of design and fabrication of both industry and agriculture in the Great Lakes / Midwest Region.\n\nCloud/Bank features advanced manufacturing techniques in architectural design that are unique to Taubman College. The students worked on parts of the project at the College’s FABLab. The project leverages a robotic fabrication technique developed by Assistant Professor and FabLab Director Wes McGee. The process utilizes a six-axis industrial robot augmented with a servo-controlled wire bending system to form three-dimensional shapes out of standardized steel rods.\n\nU-M is one of five universities selected to participate in Exhibit Columbus\, along with Ball State University College of Architecture and Planning\; The Ohio State University Austin E. Knowlton School of Architecture\; University of Cincinnati School of Architecture and Interior Design\; and the University of Kentucky College of Design\, School of Architecture. Each university received $10\,000 to support the cost of materials\, fabrication and installation of the project.\n\nExhibit Columbus is an annual exploration of architecture\, art\, design\, and community in Columbus\, Indiana. This year's exhibition included outdoor installations by five Miller Prize-winning architecture firms\, five international design studios\, and six Midwestern architecture and design schools. In Columbus\, Cloud/Bank was located near Central Middle School\, designed by Perkins + Will\, and Lincoln Signature Academy\, designed by Gunnar Birkerts & Associates.

Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

Growing up in the country in Kansas\, she had wide open spaces to explore\, as well as many of her family’s dilapidated farm buildings and overgrown pasture lands. At the University of Kansas\, she began working with street sign material and has continued to incorporate aluminum and vinyl in her work.

It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response.

This armed conflict between the Shower Posse drug cartel and Jamaica's military and police took place when security forces began searching for drug lord Christopher \"Dudus\" Coke\, after the United States requested his extradition. The violence killed at least 73 civilians.\n\n\"Of 72\" will be in conversation with Patterson's more recent work \"...And Babies...\" created at the Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. The lush tapestry-like floor piece continues where \"Of 72\" leaves us and serves to honor both the spirit and the loss of so many black bodies...women\, little boys\, little girls\, even babies\, subjected to acts of violence and abuse. \n\nEbony G. Patterson is a Jamaican artist born in Kingston\, Jamaica. She studied at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. An assistant professor in painting at the University of Kentucky\, she has shown her artwork in numerous solo and private exhibitions and is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery.

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M. Cox.\n\nLead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and the Department of the History of Art.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

In this presentation\, I will read the drama and disorder of the Restoration years against the weight of the quotidian routines of production and paperwork that characterized life and administration in early modern villages. I will frame my discussion in terms of an economy of fear—the ledger of who feared whom and the resources devoted to addressing that fear—as a way to gain insight into how the competing anxieties of rulers and ruled shaped the course of politics during the Restoration period.\n\nDavid L. Howell is Professor of Japanese History and Chair of the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University and Editor of the Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies. He studies the social and economic history of early modern Japan\, with a particular focus on the nineteenth century.

For example\, biological hydrogels act as selective permeability barriers by filtering nano-scale particles based on size as well as biochemical and biophysical interactions. However\, for a class of situations that includes the Nuclear Pore Complex\, the mechanism of this filtering has proven challenging to untangle because large non-binding particles are caged by the surrounding polymer network while binding particles exhibit increased\, not decreased\, mobility. We present an equilibrium mechanism for this counter-intuitive filtering strategy that does not require energy consumption. We show that selective mobility can be achieved and controlled in a simple crosslinked polymer gel by coupling binding to crosslink dynamics. Our results lead to specific design rules for manufacturing complex selective gels and could help explain how the Nuclear Pore Complex attains selectivity.

This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections\, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past\, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act\, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence\, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.

Both brown fat and beige fat possess thermogenic properties in addition to common morphological and biochemical characteristics\, including multilocular lipid droplets and cristae-dense mitochondria. Recent studies also identify distinct features between the two types of thermogenic fat cells\, such as their developmental regulation and function. Of particular interest is the role of beige fat in the regulation of glucose homeostasis via UCP1-independent mechanisms. The common and distinct features of thermogenic adipocytes will be discussed. \n\nSpeaker:\nShingo Kajimura received his Ph.D. in Cell & Developmental Biology from the University of Tokyo\, where he also earned his B.A. in Biology and Biochemistry and M.S. in Physiology.
