The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

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 observed dark matter abundance can be naturally obtained through freezeout of the thermal annihilation rate. The defining feature of a thermal WIMP is that its total annihilation cross section is specified through the rate ~ 3 x 10^-26 cm^3/s\, inversely proportional to the dark matter density. Searches for dark matter annihilation products have set strong limits in certain cases\, requiring that the dark matter mass be greater than around 100 GeV if annihilation proceed solely to b quarks (Fermi)\, τ leptons (Fermi)\, or electrons (AMS). We construct the first limits on the total annihilation cross section\, showing that allowed combinations of the annihilation-channel branching ratios considerably weaken these limits. We will show that GeV-mass thermal WIMPs have not yet been adequately tested\, and outline ways forward.

Depending on the energy used to produce electron emission\, it can be broadly characterized into 3 processes: thermionic emission TE (thermal energy)\, field emission FE (quantum tunneling) and photoemission PE (photon absorption or optical tunneling). Regardless of the emission mechanism\, the emission current density may become saturated – space charge limited emission (SCLE). Basic models for these processes (TE\, PE\, PE\, SCLE) have been captured in the Richardson law\, Child-Langmuir (CL) law\, Fowler-Nordheim (FN) law\, and the Keldysh model. With the development of two-dimensional (2D) atomic scale materials\, these classical laws may require revision to account for new material properties\, as well as novel operating regimes in nanometer dimensions and ultrashort time scales. In this talk\, self-consistent electron emission models will be presented\, with applications to 2D materials such as graphene. These new models exhibit smooth transitions to the classical models while providing new scaling laws that can be included into numerical codes. These new models provide better agreement with experimental results. A selection of applications of these models to engineering product development in energy harvesting\, electronics and photonics will also be presented.\n\nLay Kee (Ricky) Ang received his BS in 1994 from National Tsing Hua Univ.\, Taiwan\, and his MS & PhD from U. Michigan (1996\, 1999). He is currently a professor under the Engineering Product Development pillar\, Singapore Univ. of Technology and Design (SUTD)\, and the Ng Teng Fong chair Professor under the SUTD–ZJU (Zhejiang University) IDEA (Innovation\, Design and Entrepreneurship Alliance). Before joining SUTD\, he was with the Nanyang Technological Univ.\, Singapore (2002-11)\, and with Los Alamos National Laboratory as a postdoctoral fellow (1999-2001). His research interests are in the formulation of basic scaling laws for device physics\, focusing on novel materials and nano-structures. In applied mathematics\, he is applying fractional calculus to analyze complicated and disordered systems. His research is funded by Singapore (MOE\, ASTAR\, SUTD) and USA (AFOSR and ONRG).\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

Moiré pattern appears when two dimensional crystals are overlaid with a small difference in lattice constant or a small difference in orientation\, are ubiquitous in van der Waals heterojunctions\, and can be controlled by varying relative orientation. I will discuss some examples of new physics that can be realized using moiré patterns formed by graphene on hexagonal boron-nitride\, graphene on graphene\, and by transition metal dichalcogenides bilayers. \n\n\n UID:51529-12135384@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51529 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180411T181522 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180411T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180411T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Instructional resources that promote visualization of chemical phenomena DESCRIPTION: Finding alternative ways to observe objects or processes that cannot be seen by the naked eye is critical in chemistry instruction. We have developed a variety of instructional resources that have shown effectiveness in promoting visualization and consequently\, understanding of chemical concepts. Projects that will be highlighted include the use of 3D printed models to study macromolecular structure & interactions and analogies that assist students in connecting core scientific concepts to the nanoscale. Studies have used qualitative methods to monitor the impact of the instructional materials on students’ learning. This presentation will give an overview of these instructional resources and the evidence that speaks to their effectiveness in the classroom.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nMaria Oliver-Hoyo (NC State University) UID:45094-10084360@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45094 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180222T132600 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180411T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180411T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Journey to the Center of the Earth DESCRIPTION:We will consider the inverse problem of determining the sound speed or index of refraction of a medium by measuring the travel times of waves going through the medium. This problem arises in global seismology in an attempt to determine the inner structure of the Earth by measuring travel times of earthquakes. It has also several applications in optics and medical imaging among others.\n\nThe problem can be recast as a geometric problem: Can one determine the Riemannian metric of a Riemannian manifold with boundary by measuring the distance function between boundary points? This is the boundary rigidity problem. We will also consider the problem of determining the metric from the scattering relation\, the so-called lens rigidity problem. The linearization of these problems involve the integration of a tensor along geodesics\, similar to the X-ray transform.\n\nWe will also describe some recent results\, join with Plamen Stefanov and Andras Vasy\, on the partial data case\, where you are making measurements on a subset of the boundary. No previous knowledge of Riemannian geometry will be assumed.

AND FLORENCE PEACHMAN LECTURE\n\npresented by Jørgen Juncher Jensen\, Professor Emeritus\, DTU Mechanical Engineering\n\nIntact Stability of Ships\nA new Intact Stability Code\, the so-called Second Generation of Intact Stability Criteria\, is currently under development and validation by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The criteria are separated into five failure modes\, each of which is analyzed by two vulnerability levels and\, if needed\, a direct numerical simulation. Preliminary calculations are carried out by many organizations and significant inconsistencies have been found between the two vulnerability levels especially for dead ship conditions and parametric roll\, e.g. Schrøter et al. (2017) where 17 ships are analyzed using the full matrix of operational draughts\, trims and GM values.\n\nJørgen Juncher Jensen received his PhD in solid mechanics from the Technical University (DTU) of Denmark 1975. In 1974 he joined the Department of Ocean Engineering at DTU as assistant professor and later\, in 1998\, as Professor in Maritime Hydrodynamics. He became also Adjunct Professor at NTNU in 2014. His research interests are mainly wave loads on ships and offshore structures with focus on statistical methods for non-linear systems. He received the Dr. Techn. degree for this work in 1995. His main focus today is on wave-induced responses of ships and much of the research is done within the theory of conditional stochastic processes. He has been involved in several EU sponsored projects as well as national projects and IMO work on probabilistic damage stability of ships.\n\nWednesday\, April 11th\, 2018 at 4pm\nGerald Ford Presidential Library\, Auditorium\n\n*Reception immediately following UID:51493-12123941@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51493 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Engineering,Graduate Students,Lecture,Michigan Engineering,Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering,Undergraduate Students LOCATION:Gerald Ford Library - Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180315T101748 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180411T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180411T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Positive Links Speaker Series DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, April 11\, 2018\n4:00-5:00 p.m.\nFree and open to the public.\n\nMichigan Ross Campus\nRoss Building\n701 Tappan \nRobertson Auditorium\, 1st Floor\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48109-1234\n\nRegister: http://positiveorgs.bus.umich.edu/events/technology-and-happiness-the-social-and-emotional-costs-of-being-constantly-connected/ \n\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people.

To deal with this information incompleteness\, we develop a novel robust optimization analytical framework for wait time estimation in multiclass\, multiserver queuing systems. We calibrate our model with highly detailed historical data and illustrate how it can be used to inform medical decision making and improve patient welfare. In the second part of the talk\, we present a data-driven optimization approach for designing fair\, efficient\, and interpretable policies for prioritizing heterogeneous homeless youth on a waiting list for scarce housing resources. Our framework provides the policy-maker the flexibility to select both their desired structure for the policy and their desired fairness requirements. We evaluate our framework using real-world data from the United States homeless youth housing system. We show that our framework results in policies that are more fair than the current policy in place and than classical interpretable machine learning approaches while achieving a similar (or higher) level of overall efficiency. The first part of the talk is joint work with Chaitanya Bandi and Nikolaos Trichakis and is forthcoming in Management Science. The second part of the talk is joint work with Mohammad Javad Azizi\, Bryan Wilder\, Eric Rice\, and Milind Tambe and is forthcoming in the Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on the Integration of Constraint Programming\, Artificial Intelligence\, and Operations Research (CPAIOR)\, 2018.\n \nBio: Phebe Vayanos is an Assistant Professor of Industrial & Systems Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Southern California. She is also an Associate Director of the CAIS Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society at USC. Her research aims to address fundamental questions arising in data-driven integer and robust optimization\, and game theory. Her work is motivated by decision-making and resource allocation problems that are important for social good\, such as those arising in public health\, public safety and security\, biodiversity preservation\, education\, and energy. Prior to joining USC\, she was lecturer in the Operations Research and Statistics Group at the MIT Sloan School of Management\, and a postdoctoral research associate in the Operations Research Center at MIT.

The celebrations of that national holiday\, she shows\, provided a venue for a public contesting of the dominant ethno-Catholic conception of French Canadian identity and\, via the violent rejection of Catholic symbols\, the articulation of a new\, secular Québécois identity. From there\, Zubrzycki extends her analysis to the present\, looking at the role of Québécois identity in recent debates over immigration\, the place of religious symbols in the public sphere\, and the politics of cultural heritage—issues that also offer insight on similar debates elsewhere in the world.\" UID:49560-11476270@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49560 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Books,History,Scholarship,Writing LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery, room #100 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180402T095505 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180411T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180411T183000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Health and Safety - India DESCRIPTION:Before your international travel\, learn what you need to stay healthy and safe in India.

Her landscape prints – made from impressions on paper from carved and inked woodblocks – have received critical acclaim in both Japan and the US\; the Autumn\, Sleeping Bear Dunes series is in the permanent collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Brodbeck applies principles of Japanese aesthetics\, including subtlety\, austerity and naturalness\, to her art practice in Kalamazoo\, Michigan. Many people have felt a strong sense of place in her work. Still more connect with the sense of calm\, contemplation and deep reflection that place can evoke.

The group of images on exhibit is from a project called On Blue: A Meditation. Blue is… tranquil pools of clear water\; languid clouds drifting in azure skies\; mood indigo\; cobalt glass\; cerulean blue eyes\; sapphire cornflowers\; poignant music\, emotion and sentiment. Blue is a rare color in nature\, yet found in the largest things such as sea\, lake and sky\, as well as some of the smallest: sapphires\, forget-me-nots and delicate tropical butterflies.

She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

Many of Vignaud's maps were extracted from broken atlases\, originally published by the illustrious Hondius and Janssonius publishing houses. Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.\n\nThis exhibit and the accompanying online exhibit (https://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/rediscoveringvignaud) feature the results of their remarkable findings\, as well as a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam.

For his solo show\, \"Abstract Ancestry\,\" at University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, Harrison will produce a suite of mechanical drawings with his homemade 3D printer. Using books and documents containing problematic historical portrayals as the substrate for his drawings\, Harrison is able to explore issues of representation. The exhibition also examines abstraction\, setting the printers to work at a low resolution ensures that imperfections and variability come through in these machine-produced drawings.\n\nOn April 5\, join us as we celebrate the opening of our final exhibition of the academic year with our 2018 Efroymson Emerging Artist in Residence Matthew Angelo Harrison. Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

Her main interest is in computational social science. She is particularly interested in the use of large scale data sets and computational techniques to study problems with policy\, social\, and political implications. Dr. Budak’s degrees are in Computer Science\, with a B.S. from Bilkent \nUniversity\, Turkey\, and a Ph.D. from the University of California\, Santa Barbara.\n\n\nThis talk assesses the factors charitable givers consider when deciding which charities receive their monetary donations. For example\, do donors consider the \nefficiency of organizations they contribute to? Recent research suggests that the average donor is “wasting” over 15% of their contribution by opting for poorly run organizations as opposed to higher-rated charities supporting the same cause(s). The talk explores ways to use the internet to improve giving decisions. More generally\, it explores the reasons people care about the causes that they support.\n\nThis is the last in a six-lecture series. The subject is Behavioral and Social Sciences: Real World Applications. The next series will start April 19\, 2018. The subject is Faces of Addiction.

A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

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.

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

In response to the so-called deportation crisis\, nearly 500 localities have declared themselves “sanctuary” jurisdictions. This term refers to the cities\, counties\, and states that limit their cooperation with federal authorities on immigration matters. Supporters typically argue that sanctuary jurisdictions are safer because sanctuary policies encourage good relationships between migrant communities and local law enforcement. Opponents insist that sanctuary policies defy federal law and harbor criminals\, creating a dangerous environment for U.S. citizens. My talk will explore three moral justifications for sanctuary policies—the public safety\, civil disobedience\, and collective resistance arguments—and offer a preliminary defense of the latter of these justifications. Specifically\, I will argue that although some sanctuary policies can be justified by appeals to public safety considerations\, others are best understood as a form of legitimate collective resistance.

Faeth Memorial Lecture with our distinguished guest speaker\, Alexander J. Smits\, Eugene Higgins Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Princeton University\n\nBiology offers a rich source of inspiration for the design of novel propulsors with the potential to overcome and surpass the performance of traditional propulsors for the next generation of underwater vehicles. To-date\, however\, we have not achieved the deeper understanding of the biological systems required to engineer propulsors with the high speed and efficiencies of animals like sailfish\, tuna\, or dolphins. What is the underlying physics of the fluid-structure interaction of bio-propulsors that results in the superior performance observed in nature? Moreover\, how do we replicate this performance in the next generation of man-made propulsors? Can we push beyond the limits of biology? By studying the performance of simple heaving and pitching foils\, we have identified the basic scaling that describes the thrust\, power\, and efficiency\, under continuous as well as burst-coast actuation. These scaling relationships allow us to identify the natural limits on simple bio-inspired propulsors and suggest that further improvements in performance will require adaptive flexibility and optimized platforms.\n\nOur distinguished guest speaker...\n\nDr. Smits is the Eugene Higgins Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton.

Such contrast agents are used worldwide to improve the diagnostic capabilities of ultrasound imaging especially when employed in combination with novel nonlinear contrast imaging modes such pulse inversion second harmonic and subharmonic imaging (SHI). Our group produced the first ever human SHI images. We have previously shown that SHI signals can indicate hydrostatic pressures in vitro and has developed a noninvasive pressure measurement technique\, known as subharmonic-aided pressure estimation (SHAPE)\, based on this principle. Noninvasive SHAPE measurements may be a useful alternative to catheter- based measurements of cardiac conditions or portal hypertension. Here\, we present results from our pre-clinical and clinical trials on the utility of ultrasound contrast imaging in general as well as quantitative SHI and SHAPE results in particular.

The between-party New Deal economic policy cleavage was highly correlated with income\, occupation\, and union membership. Religion did not play a major role in American politics as white evangelicals had few overtly political interests\, and they identified with both the Republican and Democratic parties. \n\nStarting in the 1970s with the Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade (1973) decision and with the playing out of the consequences of the Civil Rights Acts of the mid 1960s\, a two-dimensional cleavage structure arose comprising the traditional New Deal economic cleavage based upon income and occupation and a new social issues cleavage between the parties based upon religious attendance and moral conservatism. Although African Americans voted reliably for Democrats and many whites in the south began to vote for Republicans\, the racial cleavage seemed largely submerged beneath the economic and social issues dimensions. Unlike economic policy where budgetary compromises were possible\, concerns with social issues such as abortion\, prayer in the schools\, and gay rights presented problems where compromise was very difficult if not impossible.  In addition\, conservatives sorted into the Republican Party and liberals into the Democratic Party. The result was an increasingly polarized politics.\n\nHas this structure changed once again?   Are we now witnessing the emergence of a new dimension in American politics based upon xenophobia\, racism\, and nationalist sentiments? Was this dimension always there but obscured by other issues such as economics and moral conservatism? How does this dimension relate to the New Deal dimension and to social issues? How does it relate to America's long-term struggle with its legacy of slavery?\n\nUsing American National Election Studies and other data from the 1970s and earlier\, this talk examines spatial diagrams over time to map out the changing coalitional structure of the parties\, to investigate the possible emergence of a new xenophobic dimension\, and to better understand populism and polarization in American politics.

In contrast to arguments that suggest new technologies are maximizing mobility to the point where people are nearly free from the constraints of time\, space\, and social bonds\, social media are renewing many of the constraints and opportunities of an earlier\, denser and more stable network of relations. As a result of the relational persistence\, social ties and the contexts where they are formed are less transitory than at any time in modern history. Through the ambient\, lean\, asynchronous nature of social media\, awareness provides for an informal watchfulness that was common in earlier communities. The result is heightened knowledge about the opinions\, activities and mental state of ones' social ties. This awareness is associated with a number of beneficial outcomes\, including higher awareness of social capital and social support\, but it may also be associated with less desirable outcomes. This presentation focuses on a number of these outcomes\, including social stress\, a spiral of silence\, and increased psychological distress over time.

Variation in the functional properties of visual pigments can therefore have profound consequences on the visual capabilities of an organism. The visual system has a surprisingly large dynamic range\, and is highly specialized for the efficient sensing of light in extremely diverse light environments. How is this achieved at the molecular level?

We formulate the concept of active measurements for relativistic models. We do this by coupling Einstein equations with equations for scalar fields.\n\nThe inverse problem we study is the question of whether the observations of the solutions of the coupled system in an open subset of the space-time with the sources supported in this set determines the properties of the metric in a larger domain. To study this problem we define the concept of light observation sets and show that knowledge of these sets determine the conformal class of the metric. This corresponds to passive observations from a distant area of space which is filled by light sources.\n\nWe will start by considering inverse problems for scalar non-linear hyperbolic equations to explain our method. No previous knowledge of Lorentzian geometry or general relativity will be assumed. This is joint work with P. Hinz\, Y. Kurylev\, M. Lasss and Y. Wang.

Although the impulse toward counterpoint is well-documented and persists among multimedia artists to this day\, few scholars agree on what constitutes multimedia counterpoint and some have even questioned whether audiovisual works can be contrapuntal. My talk suggests a new understanding of multimedia counterpoint based on historical sources and extends the metaphor to cover specific types of audiovisual interactions. I conclude that\, like musical counterpoint\, the idea of multimedia counterpoint is most useful when it is used to describe degrees of similarity and difference rather than absolute states of parallelism and contrast.\n\nAnna Gawboy is an associate professor of music theory at the Ohio State University School of Music. Her research explores the intersection of music theory\, cultural history\, musical performance\, and multimedia. This interdisciplinary orientation has allowed her work to find audiences in a variety of contexts including Slavic studies\, religious studies\, film studies\, art history\, and theater/performance studies. As coordinator of the first-year music theory curriculum at Ohio State\, she engages pedagogies of digital media in both her teaching and scholarship.

Stories provide mirrors\, windows\, and doors into other existences\, both real and imagined. A sense of the infinite possibilities inherent in fairy tales\, fantasy\, science fiction\, comics\, and graphic novels draws children\, teens\, and adults from all backgrounds to speculative fiction – also known as the fantastic. However\, when people of color seek passageways into the fantastic\, we often discover that the doors are barred. Even the very act of dreaming of worlds-that-never-were can be challenging when the known world does not provide many liberatory spaces.\n\nThe Dark Fantastic: Race and the Imagination in Youth Literature\, Media\, and Culture (forthcoming\, New York University Press) argues that the presence of Black characters in speculative fiction creates a dilemma. The way that this dilemma is most often resolved is by enacting violence against the character\, who then haunts the narrative. This is what readers of the fantastic expect\, for it mirrors the spectacle of symbolic violence against dark-skinned people in our own world.\n\nThe Dark Fantastic explores the fantastic from the perspectives of four stories\, four fantastic worlds\, and four Black girl protagonists – Bonnie Bennett from Alloy and the CW’s The Vampire Diaries\, Rue from Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games\, Gwen from the BBC’s Merlin\, and Angelina Johnson from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. In her chapter on The Vampire Diaries book series and television show\, for example\, Thomas examines the way that Bonnie is positioned vis-à-vis beauty and desirability politics\, privileging her story over that of White protagonist Elena Gilbert. This critical race counterstorying perspective examines how race and the imagination bend such texts at the seams\, contorting both space and time.\n\nThrough emancipated imaginations\, endarkened and made whole\, the literary landscape for our young people can indeed be made anew—and turned upside down.

This class identifies not only these everyday objects with which to perform and reconstruct\, but also seeks hybrid instruments that combine found objects with instruments of old. The semester will commence with an overview of instrument categories\, tunings\, and some of the guiding physics behind instruments. This includes important composers and artists from the early 20th century to current artists and emerging technologies (such as using the iPhone as an instrument).

Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

Many of Vignaud's maps were extracted from broken atlases\, originally published by the illustrious Hondius and Janssonius publishing houses. Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.\n\nThis exhibit and the accompanying online exhibit (https://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/rediscoveringvignaud) feature the results of their remarkable findings\, as well as a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam.

For his solo show\, \"Abstract Ancestry\,\" at University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, Harrison will produce a suite of mechanical drawings with his homemade 3D printer. Using books and documents containing problematic historical portrayals as the substrate for his drawings\, Harrison is able to explore issues of representation. The exhibition also examines abstraction\, setting the printers to work at a low resolution ensures that imperfections and variability come through in these machine-produced drawings.\n\nOn April 5\, join us as we celebrate the opening of our final exhibition of the academic year with our 2018 Efroymson Emerging Artist in Residence Matthew Angelo Harrison. Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

Through CT\, we are able to generate three-dimensional volumes of external and internal anatomy for morphological descriptions\, as well as quantitative analyses of surfaces and volumes such as with geometric morphometrics. As the method is not destructive\, we can easily integrate rare and important specimens into our studies and can capture and quantify traits that otherwise would be difficult in traditional preparations\, such as osteoderm distributions or cranial endocasts. Through contrast-enhanced microCT scanning we can also visualize soft tissues\, such as muscles\, nerves\, and arteries\, facilitating the study of complex anatomical systems. The images and 3D volumes that result form this work can be easily shared and repurposed for other forms of future research and education (including 3D printing). Over the next four years\, 16 US institutions will collaborate to create the open vertebrate (oVert) network: an unprecedented library of vertebrate morphology that contains high-resolution 3D anatomy of over 20\,000 museum specimens. These emerging digital 3D resources will renew interest in phenotypic diversity and evolution and make our scientific collections accessible to more people than ever before.

A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

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.

We will contact participants from the waitlist if cancellations occur. Thank you!\n\nRSVP here: http://myumi.ch/aVD3D\n\nWeListen began as a student organization with the goal of sparking small-group conversations (not debates!) between people with divergent political viewpoints.\nEach session aims to help participants understand the underlying values and experiences that drive others’ political views. We are proud to be hosting the first staff session of WeListen on the topic of free speech.\n\nFree speech is a fundamental right\, guaranteed for all Americans. However\, Richard Spencer’s recent request to speak on campus has some questioning if free speech should have limits. His request has raised questions including: how is hate speech defined? Are protests that infringe on others' First Amendment rights justified? How can campuses effectively manage requests from controversial speakers?\n\nOur aim is to bring liberals\, conservatives\, libertarians\, and everyone across the political spectrum together for a constructive conversation about free speech. The goal of WeListen discussions is not to debate or argue\, but to understand the views and values of others and to learn from their perspectives.\n\nLunch will be served!\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the the Ginsberg Center\, LSA Dean's Office\, and LSA Psychology.

Yet visual design elements\, due to their high‐dimensional\, holistic\, and interactive nature\, do not lend themselves well to measurement using extant methods for preference elicitation. \n\nWe incorporate real‐time\, interactive\, 3D‐rendered configurations into such measurement frameworks\, using scalable machine learning algorithms to adaptively update visual designs. At the heart of the method is a parametric decomposition of an object's geometry\, along with a novel\, adaptive “bi‐level” query task that can estimate individuals’ preferences among visual designs.\n\nWe illustrate the method’s performance through simulation and a field test for the design of a mid‐priced sedan\, using real‐time 3D rendering and an online panel. Bayesian part-worth estimation and online training via ranking SVM allow the proposed method to elicit trade-offs between design and more traditional elements generally\, and also pinpoint which design details differentially drive (heterogeneous) preferences.

The paper applies this framework to variations in US strategy in the Middle East under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. The theory begins with identifying whether an administration’s national security principals favor expansionism or non-expansionism in three main interest areas: force projection\, regime behavior\, and energy supplies. These collective preferences constitute the foreign policy posture of an administration\, but they do not determine policy in isolation. Collective preferences intersect with the redistributive implications of a given strategic context: How much do the administration’s national security principals expect to gain or lose if the United States pursues aggression or negotiation with the target country? The resulting framework helps to explain why an expansion-inclined president (Bush) invaded Iraq while engaging Iran\, and why an expansion-averse president (Obama) promoted regime change in Libya but exercised restraint toward Syria. Beyond the selected cases\, the theory can help students of international politics understand America’s recurring pursuit — but also its periodic avoidance — of seemingly “dumb wars” in the Middle East.

What bearing have these traces of ancient material culture had on contemporary culture? Toggling between antiquity and the present\, noted art historians Annabel Wharton and Jaś Elsner will discuss the modern afterlives of ancient materials—their transmissions\, citations\, and repurposings. In concert with this year’s Frankel Institute theme of Jews and the Material in Antiquity\, the conversation will also address the vexed role of Jews and Judaism in the formation of modern conceptions of materiality and historiography on visuality and religion.\n\nEvent Accessibility: There is an elevator and accessible and gender neutral restroom on the first floor of the building. If you have a disability that requires an accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at judaicstuies@umich.edu or 734-763-9047.
