However\, these studies do not consider the operations of the power grid and how changes to the operations of individual power plants will affect the system. In this study\, simplified economic dispatch models (representing existing power plants in a given region) and historical load data are used to determine how natural gas and coal utilization will change short-term in response to changes in natural gas prices and the retirement of coal power plants. The associated changes in fuel mix\, life cycle GHG emissions\, and sulfur and nitrogen oxides are reported. Results indicate that the change in air emissions are lower than suggested by life cycle assessment studies. In addition\, while net reductions of SO2 and NOx occur in the systems analyzed\, some counties will likely see increases in the damage costs associated with these emissions. This study shows that traditional life cycle studies overestimate the benefits of fuel switching and that incorporating the operations of energy systems is needed to properly capture these benefits.

The rejected finale of Beethoven’s op. 30/1\, reborn as the finale to op. 47\, not only bears the imprint of its original surroundings but also shaped the composition of the first two movements of op. 47. The finale is\, so to speak\, the transmitter of structural “DNA” from a sonata at the threshold of Beethoven’s “heroic” style to a sonata exemplifying that style. Much was at stake in Beethoven’s endeavor\, for his current symphonic project was the Eroica\, for which the finale was essentially in place in the form of the Variations op. 35.

In Soviet times there was a small number of universities and law institutes where one could get a legal education\, today this is no longer a problem. There are law schools everywhere\, but though their number has multiplied\, the level of education has considerably decreased\, and a legal profession brings with it a number of challenges. The tremendous changes of the last two decades and the Russian transition to a market economy have presented lawyers with new requirements and new problems. When it’s impossible to do legal business in Russia\, when the courts have become political tools\, when the accusatory bias is still one of the hottest issues on the agenda\, what should the mission of a lawyer should be? Being a lawyer in today’s Russia involves many risks. More than a hundred lawyers have fled from the country\, some have been incarcerated\, while others have been mutilated or even killed. In her lecture\, Ekaterina Mishina will analyze the reasons for the crisis of the legal profession in Russia.\n\nEkaterina Mishina holds a doctorate in law from the Law School of Moscow State University. She worked for the Constitutional Court of Russia\, then headed the Legal Department of JSC “MOSTELECOM”. In 2002-05 she took part in the projects “Law-making” and “Club of Regional Journalism\,” both of which were sponsored by the Open Russia Foundation. In 2007-10\, Mishina worked on two large-scale projects for the INDEM Foundation. She participated in several World Bank\, Ford Foundation\, European Union\, and USAID projects as general manager and legal expert. She was a visiting scholar in NYU (1990-91)\, had internships in the U.S. Congress and DC office of Gardner\, Curton & Douglas (1993)\, and in 2006 took part in the U.S. Department of State Program “U.S.-Russia Experts Forum.” Since 2005 she has held an appointment as assistant professor of law at the National Research University – Higher School of Economics in Moscow\, where she teaches comparative constitutional law. Currently she is a research scholar at the University of Michigan. \n\nPart of the series Pluralism in Politics and Culture\, a new initiative jointly sponsored by CREES and WCED that examines the foundations of free and open societies. The project builds on the university’s rich legacy of study and support of the dissident culture in the former Soviet Union and on several existing efforts at U-M. The series focuses on multiple facets of political pluralism\, including its legal\, cultural\, and economic dimensions\, and explore them in a broader historical context.

DESCRIPTION:Hakem al-Rustom\, Manoogian Simone Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellow\, University of Michigan.\n\nOut of approximately two million Ottoman Armenians living in 1914\, only 77\,433 officially remained as Turkish citizens in the formative years of the republic. In this presentation Hakem al-Rustom analyses the predicament of the residual Armenian population in Turkey as a process of denativization. A concept helps to broach gaps in the literature on nationalism\, demographic engineering\, and citizenship rights which focuses on Turkish state policies. As such\, it accounts for other important forces that worked in tandem with Turkish nationalist policies and resulted in emptying Anatolia of Armenians. These include post-World War I international diplomacy\, everyday tension between Armenians and Kurds in southeastern Anatolia\, and Armenian diaspora institutions in France. At a wider level\, this paper considers the experience of a population whose destruction was foundational to the formation of a nation-state. It therefore shifts the debate away from exclusion from citizenship rights to the historical exclusion from the wider state project.\n\n\n UID:10143-1173432@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10143 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:hakem al-rustom,multicultural LOCATION:Museum of Art - Multi-Purpose Room.

These paintings are my attempt to capture some of the Michigan beauty. I believe that a great painting is a like a beautifully composed piece of music.

Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n UID:10376-1173981@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

A persona is something that sometimes appears to exist on the body of a brain-dead patient\, and people who have had a close relationship with the patient can perceive its existence. Interestingly\, we can find a similar concept in Tetsuro Watsuji’s essay “Mask and Persona” published in 1935.

University Ave & Church St.). Ellen Peters\, PhD\, will present a talk entitled\, “Informed choice and the construction of preferences.”\n\nAbstract: Having consumers and patients actively involved in making informed choices is good. However\, the effects of increased patient involvement are not well understood. Because preferences are sometimes constructed\, unintended consequences can ensue. I will briefly discuss what is needed to make an informed decision and some of the barriers that exist to effective communication of critical information. Understanding the psychological mechanisms that underlie how people understand and use information is key to developing general principles concerning how to improve decision making.\n\nDr. Ellen Peters is Associate Professor of Psychology at Ohio State University and studies decision making as an interaction of characteristics of the decision situation and characteristics of the individual. She focuses on how affective\, intuitive\, and deliberative processes help people to make decisions in an increasingly complex world. She has three major strands of research. First\, her research interests in decision making include number processing and the study of individual differences in numeracy and an intuitive sense of numbers. A second central strand of research concerns how affect and emotion influence information processing and decisions. Third\, she is interested in how information processing and decision making change in complex ways across the adult life span. She is also generally interested in issues of risk perception and risk communication in health\, financial\, and environmental contexts\, including how to present information to facilitate its comprehension and use.\n\nLight refreshments will be provided.

Thurnau Professor and professor of economics\, U-M.\n\nJim Adams received his three degrees in economics (AB summa cum laude\, AM\, and PhD) from Harvard University. In 1973\, he joined the faculty of the University of Michigan\, where his current title is Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Economics. Adams has won numerous prizes for his teaching\, including the Amoco Foundation Award and the Golden Apple Award. The University of Michigan nominated him in 2007 for the U.S. Professors of the Year Award\, bestowed by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching\, and then in 2008 for the Michigan Distinguished Professor of the Year Award\, sponsored by the Presidents’ Council of the State Universities of Michigan. In his research\, Adams has ranged broadly\, from public policies toward business in the United States to economic integration in Europe. His monograph\, Restructuring the French Economy: Government and the Rise of Market Competition since World War II\, is cited by economists\, historians\, and political scientists on both sides of the Atlantic. Adams has served the University of Michigan in numerous administrative capacities\, including as Director of the Center for West European Studies and as Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs in the College of Literature\, Science and the Arts. He has held visiting professorships at Harvard\, Aix-Marseille\, Paris Panthéon-Sorbonne\, the European University Institute in Florence\, Basel\, and Paris Dauphine. He has been affiliated with the Brookings Institution in Washington\, the Council on Foreign Relations in Chicago\, and the Jean Monnet Foundation in Switzerland. He has advised the Federal Trade Commission\, the U.S. Ambassador to France\, and several foreign policy departments of the U.S. government. In 2007\, he delivered the Guido Carli Lecture at LUISS in Rome. \n\nSponsors: CES\, WCED.

However\, biotas at the origin of tetrapods\, during the Devonian period (420-359 million years ago\, My) were defined by now-extinct or depauperate groups such as lobe-finned fishes (lungfish and coelacanths). It was long thought that this turnover was caused by gradual forces and the greater fitness of living lineages. A comprehensive global database for early vertebrate diversity\, analysed using methods from community ecology\, has pinned this turnover to the supposedly minor end-Devonian Hangenberg mass extinction event (359 My). Global vertebrate faunas were destroyed and 44% of major clades lost\, restructuring ecosystems and permitting the rise of the modern vertebrate biota from scarce survivors. However\, recovery from the Hangenberg event was long and arduous\, coincident with “Romer’s Gap\,” a previously unexplained lull in tetrapod diversity. While some groups thrived and radiated (e.g.\, actinopterygians)\, members of once-diverse groups became “dead clades walking\,” the extinct equivalent of “living fossils.” In addition\, there was little replacement of lost lineages: survivors tended toward novel forms and niches. Thus\, conditions during aftermath of the Hangenberg extinction had as much of an impact on subsequent biodiversity as the event itself. The new challenge is explain this record of differential success. The new opportunity is to re-examine the impact of other\, perhaps neglected external events on vertebrate biota past and present.

Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards.\n UID:10374-1173972@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10374 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:202 S.
