In particular, the combination of sensing technologies and computational power brings new opportunities for data-driven modeling and data-driven decision-making. Yet data alone cannot deliver the levels of predictive confidence and modeling reliability demanded for aerospace systems. For that, we must build on the decades of progress in rigorous physics-based modeling and associated uncertainty quantification. This talk discusses our work at the intersection of physics-based and data-driven modeling, with a focus on the design of next-generation aircraft. We show how adaptive reduced models combined with machine learning enable dynamic decision-making onboard a structural-condition-aware UAV. We show how multi-fidelity formulations exploit a rich set of information sources to achieve multidisciplinary design under uncertainty for future aircraft concepts.\r\n\r\nAbout the speaker...\r\nKaren E.

In some regions, such as the southwest U.S., there is an observed trend in this direction. This is particularly true for the Colorado River, where the nature of drought is shifting to a more temperature-dominated climate extreme. At the same time, however, some recent and influential scientific assessments suggest that temperature-driven drying could be compensated by precipitation increases with little net increase to water supply or ecosystem risk. A new approach integrating the examination of temperature, precipitation and drought risk indicate that Colorado River flows, water supplies, and ecosystems in the Southwest are already being seriously affected by warming, and that continued warming could result in much larger water supply losses than widely thought, even if mean precipitation increases. The implications of these results have serious implications for terrestrial systems in many parts of the globe, including regions with higher average precipitation (e.g., the Amazon and Great Lakes regions).

Riboswitches, a class of non-coding regulatory RNAs composed of a ligand-sensing domain and an expression platform, are known to control gene expression by folding into alternative conformations upon specific recognition of cellular cues. However, a molecular understanding of the dynamic interplay between the sensing domain and the expression platform that underlies riboswitch regulation remains elusive. Here, by developing and applying nucleic-acid-optimized chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) NMR spectroscopy, together with mutagenesis and functional measurements, we show that conformational kinetics of the riboswitch serves as a new layer of regulation, where ligand-dependent accessibility of a low-populated (~1%) and short-lived (~ 3ms) RNA state guides distinct co-transcriptional folding pathways to direct gene expression outcome. Our results provide an integrated molecular mechanism for transcriptional riboswitches and exemplify a new mode of ligand-dependent RNA regulation.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"42539-9609357@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/42539", "building_id":"1000158", "building_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "campus_maps_id":"34", "room":"1300 Chemistry", "location_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Chemistry"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"LSA Biophysics", "group_id":"3767", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_42539_original.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_42539_original.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_42539_original.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_42539_original.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_42539_original.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_42539_original.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_42539_original.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_42539_original.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_42539_original.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_42539_original.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_42539_original.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_42539_original.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_42539_original.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_42539_original.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_42539_original.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_42539_original.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":9609357 } , "42340-9599750": { "datetime_modified":"20171007T123017", "datetime_start":"20170922T160000", "datetime_end":"20170922T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2017-09-22", "date_end":"2017-09-22", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"CEE 830 Seminar: Professionalism in the Workplace", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"CEE 830 Seminar: Professionalism in the Workplace", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Careers \/ Jobs", "event_type_id":"2", "description":"This is a presentation to the CEE 830 class on professionalismin the workplace.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"42340-9599750@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/42340", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":[], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University Career Center UCC", "group_id":"1140", "website":"http:\/\/careercenter.umich.edu" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":9599750 } , "42656-9622480": { "datetime_modified":"20170911T090440", "datetime_start":"20170922T160000", "datetime_end":"20170922T173000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2017-09-22", "date_end":"2017-09-22", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"LACS Lecture.

Early colonial Spanish observers of record keeping and accounting by former Inka administrators testified that khipus were used to register data of interest to the state (e.g., census and tribute records) as well as narrative-type accounts, such as histories, songs, and poems. Researchers have determined how to decipher the quantitative information in Inka administrative records, but little progress has been made to date deciphering the narrative khipus. This presentation provides an overview of what is currently known about khipu record keeping in Tawantinsuyu \u2013 the Inka Empire \u2013 with special attention to recent discoveries at the archaeological site of Inkawasi, on the south coast of Peru. \r\n \r\nGary Urton is Dumbarton Oaks Professor of Pre-Columbian Studies in the Department of Anthropology at Harvard.

Mobile speakers do not simply \"lose\" an old accent or \"gain\" a new one, however; instead, they alter specific dialect features depending on a range of linguistic, social-attitudinal, and developmental factors (e.g. Payne 1980; Chambers 1992; Kerswill 1996; Evans & Iverson 2007; Nycz 2013). Studies that compare the overall \u201cacquirability\u201d of multiple features reveal how linguistic competence may evolve as a result of exposure to new input, and can help us develop better theories about the representations and processes underlying these changes (Nycz 2013, 2015; Walker 2014). But if we want to understand more broadly how communicative competence (Hymes 1972) can develop over the lifespan, we must look\u00a0at how speakers use both old and new dialect forms in interaction. To this end, I examine topic-and stance-based stylistic variation in the speech of Canadians who have been living long-term in the New York City or Washington D.C. regions, focusing on how they use regionally varying vowel features to express views about their first home (Canada and\/or their hometown) as well as their adopted one (The United States and\/or their new city). I find that these speakers exhibit gradient shift towards U.S. norms for all vowels analyzed, as well as stylistic variation in regional stereotypes or markers associated with both their first region and their current one. Specifically, positive or alignment stances towards Canada are associated with raising in (aw) (as in about and house), while negative and distancing stances are associated with lower (aw) nuclei; no effect of style is found for (ay), a vowel which similarly differs across regions but does not carry similar social significance. Similarly, positive or alignment stances towards New York City are associated with higher (oh) (as in coffee), but only among new New Yorkers; no style effect is found for (o) (as in copy). These results suggest that mobile speakers continue to exploit the socio-indexical links in their native dialect while also learning and using new links in their adopted dialect \u2013 but only if those links are sufficiently socially salient.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"41730-9446508@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/41730", "building_id":"1000179", "building_name":"Hutchins Hall", "campus_maps_id":"72", "room":"250", "location_name":"Hutchins Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Language","Discussion","colloquium","AEM Featured"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Linguistics", "group_id":"3480", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_41730_original.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_41730_original.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_41730_original.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_41730_original.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_41730_original.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_41730_original.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_41730_original.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_41730_original.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_41730_original.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_41730_original.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_41730_original.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_41730_original.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_41730_original.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_41730_original.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_41730_original.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2017\/09\/event_41730_original.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":9446508 } }
