Ballots and ballot boxes, campaign pins and ribbons, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets, lanterns and banners\u2013the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country\u2019s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And, most of all, who counted as a voter, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22, weekdays from 12-4 pm.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"152024-21912660@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/152024", "building_id":"1000159", "building_name":"William Clements Library", "campus_maps_id":"165", "room":"", "location_name":"William Clements Library", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["american culture","american history","Americana","Event","Exhibit","Exhibition","history","In Person","libraries","Library","Tour","William L Clements"], "website":"https:\/\/clements.umich.edu\/exhibit\/who-counts\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"William L.

Here, I will discuss several studies that, in different ways, address the physics of how size is set and how precisely it can be controlled. First, I will introduce a simple phenomenological framework that allows one to consider tradeoffs between noise in the actual growth process and in a system's internal measurement of its own size. I will show how this framework places a bound on the size precision of individual bacterial cells and analyze data from recent experiments to show that, at least in some circumstances, the measured precision is very near this bound. Then, I will extend the framework to consider how sizes can be coordinated by chemical signals, for example between organs like the left and right wings of a fruit fly, and show that theory severely limits how well this can be done. Finally, I will study the noisy dynamics of growth of multi-cellular tissues in the presence of various feedback laws, finding that only certain forms of mechanical feedback can specify a unique organ size. Along the way, I will introduce a formalism to describe the elasticity of growing objects with strong connections to differential geometry and observe that growing tissues tend to show power law density correlations, reminiscent of those also observed in models of the early universe.", "occurrence_notes":"Hybrid", "guid":"153254-21915536@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/153254", "building_id":"1000167", "building_name":"West Hall", "campus_maps_id":"163", "room":"340", "location_name":"West Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Applied Physics","Physics"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Applied Physics", "group_id":"3606", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Physics", "group_id":"1965", "website":"" } ], "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":21915536 } }
