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.

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.

White Americans described Black Americans as beasts. And today\, the militant Buddhists of Myanmar characterize the Rohingya as subhuman animals. These are all examples of dehumanization\, a phenomenon that often paves the way to mass atrocity. In my 2011 book Less Than Human I described dehumanization as the attitude of conceiving of others as less than human. However\, some scholars have objected that this view is not consistent with the fact that dehumanizers often acknowledge the humanity of their victims\, and have suggested that dehumanization\, as I have described it\, does not occur. In this talk I will explain why this concern should not lead one to reject the reality of dehumanization. Using two examples of spectacle lynchings—extremely gruesome lynchings of African Americans that were attended by hundreds or thousands of spectators—I will explain how this problem can be addressed in a way that leads to a deeper\, more nuanced\, and more disturbing account of what dehumanization is and how it works.

We consider a setting with strategic test choice and disclosure policy\, and characterize the unique equilibrium outcome. Although without strategic disclosure all tests yield the same expected sale price\, the agent’s ability to hide results leads to a unique test choice. While in equilibrium the agent generally prefers more informative tests\, the amount of information disclosed in equilibrium is inefficient and simple pass/fail tests are likely to dominate the market. Minimum testing standards can improve informational efficiency and reduce test-taking costs.

When this happens\, federal law is applied differently in different parts of the country. Intercircuit splits cause legal non-uniformity\, are an impediment to lawyering and judging\, and have practical consequences for American law. Despite intercircuit splits' importance\, there is almost no quantitative research about them. We created a unique original dataset that includes intercircuit splits that arose between 2005 and 2013. For each intercircuit split\, we identified every circuit and every case involved. These data reveal that one-third of intercircuit splits are resolved by the Supreme Court. Two-thirds are not. We show that those that will be resolved are resolved within three years after they arise\, and we show that splits are more likely to be resolved when they exhibit contemporaneous and growing disagreement. However\, many such splits are never resolved by the Supreme Court. Those that are not resolved by the Supreme Court continue to yield litigation and do not dissipate on their own\, and the likelihood of resolution does not rise as time passes.

In this paper\, I explore memory of tyranny\, i.e.\, the shared experience of having lived and survived under tyranny\, as one plausible determinant. I expect executive constraints to be stronger when state institutions are formulated shortly after a reign of personalistic despotism\, when collective memories of tyranny are fresh. I evaluate the proposition in two ways. First\, I employ crossnational panel data on authoritarian regimes to compare executive constraints following the end of an authoritarian administrations. I find that constraints increase more following the end of a personalist tyranny than for other forms of authoritarian rule. Second\, I narrow my scope to post-colonial regimes\, comparing executive constraints in directly vs. indirectly colonized states. I find that post-colonial executive constraints tend to be stronger in indirectly ruled colonies\, where colonial oppression was exercised by a local\, homegrown tyrant rather than a foreign viceroy. I complement the quantitative analysis with illustrative case studies and survey data on public opinion.

Uncertainty about their chemistry has led past workers to use upper crustal fluids as analogues. However\, recent results show that fluids at >15 km differ fundamentally from shallow fluids and help explain high-pressure metasomatism and resistivity patterns. Deep fluids are comprised of four components: H2O\, non-polar gases (chiefly CO2)\, salts (mostly alkali chlorides)\, and rock-derived solutes (dominated by aluminosilicates and related components). The first three generally define the solvent properties of the fluid\, and models must account for observations that H2O activity may be quite low. The contrasting behavior of H2O-gas and H2O-salt mixtures yields immiscibility in the ternary system\, which can lead to separation of two phases with fundamentally different chemical and transport properties. Thermodynamic modeling of equilibrium between rocks and H2O using simple ionic species known from shallow-crustal systems yields solutions possessing total dissolved solids and ionic strength that are too low to be consistent with experiments and resistivity surveys. Addition of CO2 further lowers bulk solubility and conductivity. Therefore\, additional species must be present in H2O\, and H2O-salt solutions likely explain much of the evidence for fluid action in high-P settings. At low salinity\, H2O-rich fluids are powerful solvents for aluminosilicate rock components that are dissolved as previously unrecognized polymerized clusters. Experiments show that\, near H2O-saturated melting\, Al-Si polymers comprise >80% of solutes. The stability of these species facilitates critical critical mixing in rock-H2O systems. Addition of salt (e.g.\, NaCl) changes solubility patterns\, but aluminosilicate contents remain high. Thermodynamic models indicate that the ionic strength of fluids with Xsalt = 0.05 to 0.4 and equilibrated with model crustal rocks have predicted bulk conductivities of 10-1.5 to 100 S/m at porosity of 0.001. Such fluids are thus consistent with conductivity anomalies commonly observed in the lower crust (e.g.\, the “G” anomaly)\, and are capable of the mass transfer commonly seen in metamorphic rocks exhumed from the lower crust and subduction zones.

Ca2+ dependence arises from two C-terminal C2 domains (termed C2A and C2B) that insert into anionic lipid membranes upon binding two or three Ca2+ ions. Of the Ca2+-sensitive isoforms\, Syt-7 has recently emerged as a topic of broad interest due to its extreme Ca2+ sensitivity and roles in a diverse range of secretion events. Both C2 domains of Syt-7 (but especially C2A) bind and insert into membranes at much lower Ca2+ concentrations and dissociate more slowly than the corresponding domains from the more widely studied isoform Syt-1. We have used a combination of spectroscopic\, single-molecule\, and computational approaches to understand the physical-chemical origins of this strong membrane binding. The results show intriguing distinctions between Syt-1 and Syt-7\, including deeper hydrophobic membrane insertion and more efficient membrane bridging by the Syt-7 C2A domain as well as diminished interdomain cooperativity in the Syt-7 C2AB tandem. Similarities between Syt-1 and Syt-7 inform models for a common mechanism of Syt/SNARE/Ca2+-mediated membrane fusion. Differences may contribute to the known points of divergence between the two isoforms\, such as the rate of fusion pore expansion.

Its rhetorics of eulogy are not merely performative but are directly existential\, since its form and function are entirely dependent on the act of containing a corpse. In sarcophagi\, the frequency of portraiture as a major element of decoration adds a further frisson to the question of embodiment. This paper touches on all forms of portraiture on Roman sarcophagi but focuses on three-dimensional reclining statues carved on lids – both fine finished portrait heads and so-called ‘unfinished’ or ‘blank’ and sometimes ‘pseudo-animate’ faces – in relation to their play with the thematic of embodiment\, presence and absence. \n\nProfessor of Late Antique Art at Oxford\,\nHumfry Payne Senior Research Fellow at Corpus Christi College\nVisiting Professor of Art and Religion at the University of Chicago\nLeverhulme Senior Research Keeper at the British Museum UID:51747-12217126@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51747 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Classical Studies,History LOCATION:Tappan Hall - Room 180 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180402T132857 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180413T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180413T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Tumblr as Pedagogy\, Theory\, and Archive DESCRIPTION:Focusing on a range of online communities and praxes—from music fandoms to women of color feminisms—this panel explores explores theory\, form\, and activism on the microblogging site Tumblr.

He quickly fell in love with freedom and flow of the dance and started intensive training. After roughly a year training locally in Knoxville\, TN\, he was brought on as an assistant instructor at ZoukEra dance company. To further his dance knowledge\, Brad spend the next four years traveling both the across the country and internationally to train with as many artists as possible\, something he still does today as he believes dance knowledge is never complete. In 2014\, Brad founded his own company\, Armada Zouk\, which now hosts weekly classes\, socials\, and choreography training in Knoxville and assists in weekly classes in Asheville. In addition to dance\, he has earned a PhD in biomedical engineering with a focus in biomechanics. This gives Brad a unique background in truly understanding how the body is designed to move and function\, providing many insights into the realm of dance. \n\nAfter completing the doctoral program\, he spent May and June of 2016 training in Sao Paulo in Rio De Janeiro with multiple instructors including Renata Peçanha\, the founder of zouk. After leaving Brazil\, he spent the next two months hosting an intensive 8 week\, 32 hour series in Kona\, Hawaii\, a city which he returns to frequently to help continue the growth of the local students. In November of 2017\, Brad completed a NeoZouk techniques instructor certification course with Marco (Mafie Zouker) Mendonça so that he can help grow both Rio Style Zouk and NeoZouk techniques throughout the country and internationally.

He quickly fell in love with freedom and flow of the dance and started intensive training. After roughly a year training locally in Knoxville\, TN\, he was brought on as an assistant instructor at ZoukEra dance company. To further his dance knowledge\, Brad spend the next four years traveling both the across the country and internationally to train with as many artists as possible\, something he still does today as he believes dance knowledge is never complete. In 2014\, Brad founded his own company\, Armada Zouk\, which now hosts weekly classes\, socials\, and choreography training in Knoxville and assists in weekly classes in Asheville. In addition to dance\, he has earned a PhD in biomedical engineering with a focus in biomechanics. This gives Brad a unique background in truly understanding how the body is designed to move and function\, providing many insights into the realm of dance. \n\nAfter completing the doctoral program\, he spent May and June of 2016 training in Sao Paulo in Rio De Janeiro with multiple instructors including Renata Peçanha\, the founder of zouk. After leaving Brazil\, he spent the next two months hosting an intensive 8 week\, 32 hour series in Kona\, Hawaii\, a city which he returns to frequently to help continue the growth of the local students. In November of 2017\, Brad completed a NeoZouk techniques instructor certification course with Marco (Mafie Zouker) Mendonça so that he can help grow both Rio Style Zouk and NeoZouk techniques throughout the country and internationally.

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.

The workshop will feature a mix of talks and small workgroup sessions to explore these topics\, with specific attention to politicians and political collectives.\n\nIn the last decade\, politicians in various parts of the world have invested in social media campaigns\, including in settings where a relatively small proportion of the voting public is actually online. Leaders may use social media for a range of reasons including to actively court constituents\, to present a narrative on their political program to the international community\, or to use the affordances of social media to frame the agenda on a specific issue.\n\nSocial media can also present a means for politicians to bypass the free professional media corps to directly speak to the electorate\, and exercise greater control over the story crafted about them. After an early phase of enthusiasm on the scope of social media to bring decentralized power to the people\, we increasingly have a balanced view of the potential and risks of online behavior for democratic societies.\n\nToday\, we see a social media environment in which a vast majority of major national politicians in countries throughout the world build social media presences for a diverse mix of these reasons. What do these developments mean for the future of political campaigning? What tactics have worked? How is the online strategy impacted by ideology\, national economic priorities\, or political structure?

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.

It also aims to engage a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering.\n\nIntended as \"teaching through practice\" event\, each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience)\, highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills\, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.\n\nStarting mid-February and leading up to June\, we will be organizing multiple sessions for this event\, and we invite you to participate. The sessions will be held on Saturday mornings (9am - 11am)\, and will be scheduled to occur once every 2-3 weeks. Breakfast and coffee will be provided!\n\nIf you are interested in participating as a speaker\, please indicate your availability on the \"Speaker sign up\" form and the planning committee will follow up with you for scheduling. If you are interested in participating as an audience member\, please sign up through our TBP website on the \"Audience sign up\" link.

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.

Despite implications\, its title refers to the furthest depths of loss itself\, rather than the state of those who have lost something. It’s the most honest\, most confessional album of Fruit Bats’ career. \"Vetiver is what I’ve been calling my songs and recordings since about 2003 or so\,\" says Andy. \"I live in San Francisco\, have since 1998.\" Vetiver too comes to The Ark with new music. \"The songs on 'Complete Strangers' bear some resemblance to the album’s title\,\" They share things in common but come from different places\, different times. …I’m still figuring the album out.

He quickly fell in love with freedom and flow of the dance and started intensive training. After roughly a year training locally in Knoxville\, TN\, he was brought on as an assistant instructor at ZoukEra dance company. To further his dance knowledge\, Brad spend the next four years traveling both the across the country and internationally to train with as many artists as possible\, something he still does today as he believes dance knowledge is never complete. In 2014\, Brad founded his own company\, Armada Zouk\, which now hosts weekly classes\, socials\, and choreography training in Knoxville and assists in weekly classes in Asheville. In addition to dance\, he has earned a PhD in biomedical engineering with a focus in biomechanics. This gives Brad a unique background in truly understanding how the body is designed to move and function\, providing many insights into the realm of dance. \n\nAfter completing the doctoral program\, he spent May and June of 2016 training in Sao Paulo in Rio De Janeiro with multiple instructors including Renata Peçanha\, the founder of zouk. After leaving Brazil\, he spent the next two months hosting an intensive 8 week\, 32 hour series in Kona\, Hawaii\, a city which he returns to frequently to help continue the growth of the local students. In November of 2017\, Brad completed a NeoZouk techniques instructor certification course with Marco (Mafie Zouker) Mendonça so that he can help grow both Rio Style Zouk and NeoZouk techniques throughout the country and internationally.

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.

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.

The exhibit focuses on seven classic stories: Aladdin\, Alice in Wonderland\, Cinderella\, Hansel and Gretel\, the Little Mermaid\, Little Red Riding Hood\, and Peter Pan. Drawing on the rich collection of children’s literature in the Special Collections Research Center\, the books range from late nineteenth century editions to contemporary pop-up books.

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.

The photographs picture well-known or\, at times\, untold stories of violence\, tragedy\, and loss. Each scene is visually stunning yet viewers may be surprised at the elements of beauty and tranquility present in these tragic landscapes. The images remind us that disaster is often a collective experience that can tear apart the seams of a culture’s social fabric and shape histories of a culture well after an event. UMMA docents will guide visitors as they contemplate photography’s role in depicting and shaping representations of past and present landscapes of devastation.\n\nLead support for 'Aftermath: Landscapes of Devastation' is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

He quickly fell in love with freedom and flow of the dance and started intensive training. After roughly a year training locally in Knoxville\, TN\, he was brought on as an assistant instructor at ZoukEra dance company. To further his dance knowledge\, Brad spend the next four years traveling both the across the country and internationally to train with as many artists as possible\, something he still does today as he believes dance knowledge is never complete. In 2014\, Brad founded his own company\, Armada Zouk\, which now hosts weekly classes\, socials\, and choreography training in Knoxville and assists in weekly classes in Asheville. In addition to dance\, he has earned a PhD in biomedical engineering with a focus in biomechanics. This gives Brad a unique background in truly understanding how the body is designed to move and function\, providing many insights into the realm of dance. \n\nAfter completing the doctoral program\, he spent May and June of 2016 training in Sao Paulo in Rio De Janeiro with multiple instructors including Renata Peçanha\, the founder of zouk. After leaving Brazil\, he spent the next two months hosting an intensive 8 week\, 32 hour series in Kona\, Hawaii\, a city which he returns to frequently to help continue the growth of the local students. In November of 2017\, Brad completed a NeoZouk techniques instructor certification course with Marco (Mafie Zouker) Mendonça so that he can help grow both Rio Style Zouk and NeoZouk techniques throughout the country and internationally.

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.

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.

Labeling such data is expensive and impractical\, making unsupervised learning an increasingly important field. Big data collections often have rich latent structure that statistical modeler is challenged to uncover. Bayesian hierarchical modeling is a particularly suitable approach for complex latent patterns. Graphical model formalism has been prominent in developing various procedures for inference in Bayesian models\, however the corresponding computational limits often fall behind the demands of the modern data sizes. In this thesis we develop new approaches for scalable approximate Bayesian inference. In particular\, our approaches are driven by the analysis of latent geometric structures induced by the models. \n Our specific contributions include the following. We develop full geometric recipe of the Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic model. Next\, we study several approaches for exploiting the latent geometry to first arrive at a fast weighted clustering procedure augmented with geometric corrections for topic inference\, and then a nonparametric approach based on the analysis of the concentration of mass and angular geometry of the topic simplex\, a convex polytope constructed by taking the convex hull of vertices representing the latent topics. Estimates produced by our methods are shown to be statistically consistent under some conditions. Finally\, we develop a series of models for temporal dynamics of the latent geometric structures where inference can be performed in online and distributed fashion. All our algorithms are evaluated with extensive experiments on simulated and real datasets\, culminating at a method several orders of magnitude faster than existing state-ofthe-art topic modeling approaches\, as demonstrated by experiments working with several million documents in a dozen minutes.

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.

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.

Depression in particular is a commonly occurring mental disorder. Research shows that comorbidity of smoking and depression are subject to feedback effects\, as depression is known to predict future smoking\, while smoking also predicts future depression. To date\, there has been little evidence on the health gains associated with interrupting this dynamic through interventions that target patients with depression. If implemented\, cessation treatment for smokers with depression could lead to even greater improvements to population health. However the population benefit of integrating cessation treatment into mental health care has not yet been estimated. I develop the first joint model of smoking and depression co-morbidity in the US\, projecting future patterns of smoking and depression through 2050.This model can analyze the independent and synergistic effects of intervention strategies on smoking\, depression\, and mortality outcomes.

In this talk\, I will describe our work on children’s acquisition of fractions as a case study in educational neuroscience. I will argue for a cognitive primitives account of fractions learning that integrates previously disparate findings from multiple disciplines. We propose that fractions knowledge builds on a “ratio processing system” (RPS) that allows us to perceive non-symbolic ratios—such as the relative length of two lines—even prior to formal fractions instruction. I will describe recent results from our cross-sequential study of children’s acquisition of fractions. We are longitudinally tracking two cohorts of children: 2nd graders (minimal fractions instruction)\, and 5th graders (extensive fractions instruction) for four years using a combination of standardized assessments\, cognitive measures and brain imaging. We have previously shown that adults’ non-symbolic RPS sensitivity correlates with formal math skills\, and find similar patterns in 5th\, but not 2nd graders. We have also shown that children as young as 2nd grade can accurately compare fractions and nonsymbolic ratios\, providing behavioral evidence for the RPS as young as age 8. In adults\, this same task leads to increased activation in shared regions of parietal cortex for symbolic fractions and nonsymbolic ratios. In 2nd graders\, consistent with the RPS account\, neural specialization is limited to non-symbolic ratios\, while in 5th graders\, emerging specializations for symbolic fractions partially overlap with non-symbolic RPS processing. These results demonstrate the value of a cross-disciplinary approach rather than focusing on one discipline in isolation. For example\, our results suggest that fractions instruction should attempt to more directly tap into nonsymbolic ratio understanding\, and screening for math learning difficulties should include RPS measures.

Our study investigates this hypothesis between French and German speaking pupils in a bilingual region of Switzerland\, explicitly differentiating between the impact of language on exponential discounting and present bias. We find that French speakers are significantly more impatient than German speakers in the short run. In the long run\, however\, differences are less pronounced. Our evidence therefore suggests that language affects the degree of hyperbolic discounting and leads to less future oriented behavior mostly through increasing present-biasedness.

These reactions can be carried out at the metallic surface sites of heterogeneous electrocatalysts or via redox mediation at molecular electrocatalysts. Molecular catalysts yield readily to synthetic alteration of their redox properties and secondary coordination sphere\, permitting systematic tuning of their activity and selectivity. Similar control is difficult to achieve with heterogeneous electrocatalysts because they typically exhibit a distribution of active site geometries and local electronic structures\, which are recalcitrant to molecular-level synthetic modification. However\, metallic heterogeneous electrocatalysts benefit from a continuum of electronic states which distribute the redox burden of a multi-electron transformation\, enabling more efficient catalysis. We have developed a simple synthetic strategy for conjugating well-defined molecular catalyst active sites with the extended states of graphitic solids. Electrochemical and spectroscopic data indicate that these graphite-conjugated catalysts do not behave like their molecular analogs\, but rather as metallic active sites with molecular definition\, providing a unique bridge between the traditionally disparate fields of molecular and heterogeneous electrocatalysis.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nYogesh Surendranath (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) UID:49170-11386598@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49170 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180416T181526 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180416T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180416T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Dark Photon Search in Positron Annihilation at Cornell DESCRIPTION:Dark matter remains a tantalizing puzzle for particle physics and cosmology\, with profound implications for understanding the essential nature and evolution of our universe. Its average mass density in the universe is known with considerable and ever-improving precision\, yet extensive searches based on conventional explanations such as weakly interacting massive particles continue to yield null results. Newer alternative theories raise the possibility of low mass dark matter\, and in so doing open the possibility for discovery in unexplored parameter space\, using low-energy\, high-intensity experiments. The so-called “dark photon” is a plausible candidate\, capable of being produced in electromagnetic interactions such as electron-positron annihilation. \n\nWe have proposed the design and construction of a 6 GeV positron beam for fixed target experiments. It will become the highest intensity source of high energy positrons anywhere in the world\, providing a unique tool for research in particle- and nuclear-physics. Beam characteristics are optimized for dark matter search experiments that require positrons with high total beam delivery and limited instantaneous beam current. The facility will build on the capabilities of the existing synchrotron injector at Cornell University\, augmenting it with beam instrumentation to enable a slow spill of positrons by a resonant extraction mechanism. \n\nI will describe the dynamics of slow extraction of a high energy positron beam from the Cornell synchrotron\, and the experiment to search for a dark photon in electron-positron annihilation. \n UID:51832-12262915@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51832 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180222T082044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180416T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180416T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Finance DESCRIPTION:Details to come.

We travel to Quito\, Ecuador every summer to run a free summer camp for approximately 60 children ages 5-12. Our aim is to improve the education\, and well-being in the underserved and politically underrepresented communities of Quito in addition to raising discussions and awareness of the Ecuadorian culture and society at the University of Michigan and beyond. Our students come from low resource backgrounds and due to their financially destitute situations\, we provide our students with two meals a day\, hygienic supplies\, and school supplies to help give them the tools they need to succeed through education\, encourage our students to continue onto higher education\, and provide them with some of the basic necessities every human being should have access to.  We are trying to collect school supplies In order to allow our tutors to continue creating fun and engaging lesson plans and to give our students the best experience possible. We are looking for any school supplies that you may have left over from the school year or if would be willing to donate any new supplies as well. Some suggested supplies to donate include: construction paper\, pencils\, markers\, colored pencils\, crayons\, glue\, lined paper\, scissors\, books (ages 4-14)\, rulers\, folders\, pencil sharpeners\, erasers\, coloring books\, highlighters etc.  But please keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list and all donations are welcome and appreciated!  The dates of the drive are from April 2nd-April 26th. Donations can be dropped off at the following locations:Bert's Cafe Entrance of UGLiNorth Lobby\, Hatcher1816 East Quad1500 North QuadSuite 500\, Weiser Hall1122 Lane Hall4108 MLBGinsberg Center If you are unable to make a donation please still let all of your professors and fellow students know about this drive to help spread the word!

Her world was very Italian\, and when she walked outside\, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child\, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers\, old book pages\, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry\, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken\, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

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.

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.

They often contain direct or disguised wishes and/or fears. In this class we will discuss typical dreams: the recurring dream\; the remembered dream of the past\; the “I’m not prepared” dream (e.g. taking the final exam\, but haven’t read the text).\n\nThe instructor will discuss dreams of some patients and invite class members (including himself) to bring their own.

In traditional classification-based MVPA\, each class or label is modeled as having a unique spatial brain activity. Multi-Label classification is an emerging machine learning paradigm that can detect multiple classes\, that are not necessarily mutually exclusive\, in a single instance.\n\nFor this study\, we extend a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm\, a popular MVPA approach\, to a multi-label algorithm that can detect both left and right hand tapping tasks simultaneously. Participants performed four tasks in a blocked experiment design: rest\, right hand tapping\, left hand tapping\, and both hands tapping. We compare two training models with our multi-label data. One considers both hands tapping as a new class. The other considers both hands tapping as a positive instance of right and left hand tapping. Furthermore\, we investigate the effects of SVM parameters on our algorithm’s performance. Our results demonstrates the feasibility of using a multi-label paradigm for motor task fMRI data. We discuss the capabilities and limitations of our approach and the potential to generalize to other fMRI task-based applications. \n\nChair: Scott Peltier UID:51953-12321831@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51953 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering - 2203 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180323T181532 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exchanges: How We Got Here DESCRIPTION:Exchanges: How We Got Here\, the 2018 Stamps Senior Show\, features work in a range of media by graduating BA\, BFA\, and Interarts students at U-M’s Penny W.

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.

These manuscripts incorporated prayers\, hymns\, biblical stories\, and monthly calendars featuring religious feast days\, which were often supplemented by images painted in exquisite detail. Today\, books of hours are a testament to the visually rich material culture of the Middle Ages. UMMA was recently gifted a bejeweled double-sided calendar leaf for January. Executed on parchment\, the page highlights the material opulence and artistry involved in manuscript illumination. Accompanying the calendar are painted images or miniatures of the labor and characteristic activity of the month\, and Aquarius\, the zodiac sign for January\, embodied by a man collecting water from a stream. The folio’s luminous\, gilded surface\, accentuated by the use of bright colors\, was meant to transport the medieval viewer into a state of spiritual transcendence. \n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Mrs. Carrol Robertsen.

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.

With a specific focus on prepubertal girls\, there is only one option to preserve fertility and ovarian endocrine function after cancer treatment: ovarian tissue cryopreservation prior to treatment followed by autotransplantation when the patient is disease free and is ready to undergo puberty or have children. Unfortunately\, ovarian tissue in patients with blood borne cancers\, such as leukemia\, may carry cancer cells and present risks of cancer cell transfer. In response\, we have developed a hydrogel-based immune-isolating capsule that protects an allogeneic encapsulated ovarian tissue from immune cells\, allows diffusion of nutrients\, and promotes tissue survival and function. In this study\, we investigated whether the immune-isolating autograft-compatible capsule can prevent cancer cells present with the encapsulated ovarian tissue from escaping the capsule and invading the host tissues\, possibly causing cancer relapse. The tested conditions included two levels of encapsulated cancer cells in designs that varied hydrogel shell thickness\, core composition strength\, and multi-layered construction. These hydrogels were imaged to monitor cancer cell growth and migration through the capsule\, and tests for cell viability were conducted to confirm sufficient diffusivity of each design. Additionally\, follicle growth expansion with co-encapsulated cancer cells was measured to demonstrate functionality of the device as a suitable environment for tissue survival. By adding an extra layer to the outside of the original hydrogel\, the double shelled design was found to be successful in containing cancer cells for up to 34 days without compromising the influx of nutrients necessary for survival. With finding a hydrogel design that successfully retains cancerous cells and facilitates follicle growth\, the prospect of utilizing immune-isolating hydrogels as a fertility preservation option for childhood cancer survivors is increasingly promising. \n\nChair: Ariella Shikanov UID:51952-12321830@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51952 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering LOCATION:Gerstacker Building - 1117 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191209T094000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T160000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:German Lab DESCRIPTION:The German Lab is open Monday-Thursday 1-4 every week.

Over 30 million US adults suffer from osteoarthritis and for those whose condition is localized in the TMJ\, tissue engineering studies and treatment are limited. With a better understanding of the crosstalk between cell microenvironment and BMP signaling\, design of cartilage regeneration strategies for injured/diseased craniofacial joints can be improved. To investigate this interaction\, we studied the chondrogenesis of NCCs with constitutively active BMPR1a receptors in a novel biosynthetic stem cell niche with tunable stiffness and pre-chondrocyte ECM ligand presentation. To reveal how a controlled variation of the microenvironment affects BMP-mediated chondrogenesis\, we encapsulated NCCs in 7kPa and 30kPa PEG hydrogels to determine the effect of microenvironmental stiffness chondrogenesis of NCCs mediated by the BMPR1a receptor.\n \nChair: Rhima Coleman\, Ph.D. UID:51951-12321829@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51951 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering LOCATION:Lurie Robert H.

DESCRIPTION: Understanding nanoscale protein dynamics at interfaces is crucial for topics ranging from disease inception and drug delivery to separations science. Recent efforts by our group and others have shown the promise of applying single molecule methods to link mechanistic detail about protein adsorptions to macroscale observables. When we study one molecule at a time\, we eliminate ensemble averaging\, thereby accessing any underlying complexity. However\, we must develop new methods to increase information content in the resulting low density and low signal-to-noise data and to improve space and time resolution. \n\nI will highlight recent advances in super-resolution microscopy for quantifying the physics and chemistry that occur between target proteins and stationary phase supports during chromatographic separations. My discussion will concentrate on the newfound ability of super-resolved single protein spectroscopy to inform theoretical parameters via quantification of adsorption-desorption dynamics\, protein unfolding\, and nano-confined transport. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nChristy Landes (Rice University) UID:48445-11235884@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48445 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180129T111524 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180417T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Pioneer Americanists DESCRIPTION:Join J.

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.

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.

These manuscripts incorporated prayers\, hymns\, biblical stories\, and monthly calendars featuring religious feast days\, which were often supplemented by images painted in exquisite detail. Today\, books of hours are a testament to the visually rich material culture of the Middle Ages. UMMA was recently gifted a bejeweled double-sided calendar leaf for January. Executed on parchment\, the page highlights the material opulence and artistry involved in manuscript illumination. Accompanying the calendar are painted images or miniatures of the labor and characteristic activity of the month\, and Aquarius\, the zodiac sign for January\, embodied by a man collecting water from a stream. The folio’s luminous\, gilded surface\, accentuated by the use of bright colors\, was meant to transport the medieval viewer into a state of spiritual transcendence. \n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Mrs. Carrol Robertsen.

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.

This additional design freedom provided by tow-steered composites have the potential to increase their structural performance relative to their conventional uniaxial fiber counterparts. One area of interest for application of these composites is in the design of flexible wing structures.\n\nHigh-fidelity aerostructural solvers have been proven effective for accurately capturing the trade-offs between relevant design disciplines for such aircraft. By complementing these solvers with gradient-based numerical optimization\, the maximum benefits offered by tow-steered structures can be quantified.\n\nIn this thesis\, several optimization studies are conducted to compare the performance of conventional and tow-steered composite wings. When minimizing the fuel burn of a Boeing-777-type aircraft\, tow steering is found to offer up to 2.3% in fuel savings relative to an optimized conventional composite wing. The trade-off between structural weight and fuel burn performance is then explored through a Pareto front study. In this study\, it is found that when wing planform is free to vary\, tow-steering offers improvements of up to 1.5% and 1.6% in aircraft fuel burn and structural weight\, respectively\, depending on the design objective.\n\n\nDissertation Committee Names:\nChair: Prof. Joaquim R.

At a point in their career where most artists would be looking to strategically position themselves for even greater commercial success\, they instead turned to artistic expression in service of the muse. In chaotic times when honesty is in short supply and ulterior motives seem to always be at play\, The Wood Brothers put faith in themselves and ultimately their audience by writing and recording a collection of songs that is honest and pure. As they sing on the album’s title track: \"Rather die hungry / than feasting on lies / Give me one drop of truth / I cannot deny.\" It’s the freest album we’ve done\, the most independent album we’ve done\, and was the most fun we’ve ever had making a record\,\" says brother Oliver Wood. Indeed the album dives headfirst into a deep wellspring of sounds\, styles and influences. Whereas their previous outings have often followed a conceptual and sonic through-line\, here the long-standing trio featuring brothers Oliver and Chris Wood along with Jano Rix treat each song as if it were its own short film. The plaintive\, country-folk of the album’s opening track “River Takes The Town” gives way to the The Band-esque Americana soul of “Happiness Jones.” The wistful ballad “Strange As It Seems” floats on a cloud of stream of consciousness\, standing in stark contrast to “Sky High”—a Saturday night barnburner built upon stinging slide guitar funk. “Seasick Emotions” is rife with turmoil\, yet “Sparking Wine” is jaunty and carefree. The end result is undeniably The Wood Brothers’ most dynamic recording to date.

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.

The relativistic plasma generated by intense laser pulses can generate many different forms of radiation. This radiation\, including X-rays\, has been studied intensively due to the numerous potential applications of these sources. For example\, for Homeland Security\, radiation sources are already utilized to detect dangerous materials and hidden items that threaten civil safety. Neutrons and THz radiation have been studied as candidates for next generation screening\, which may complement typical X-ray techniques. This thesis contains three experimental studies of high-power laser-plasma interactions as sources of radiation for Homeland Security applications\, especially at kilohertz repetition-rates using few-millijoule pulses.\nFirst\, a neutron generation experiment was conducted using a high repetition-rate laser system (1⁄2 kHz) at the University of Michigan. A heavy water (D2O) stream was\nirradiated by 40 fs pulses\, each containing a few millijoules of energy. Acceleration of deuterons (to E < 1 MeV) was achieved through plasma sheath acceleration. Ensuing DD\nnuclear fusion reactions\, in turn\, generated neutron fluxes of up to 105 s−1. In order to understand the neutron source characteristics\, deuteron spectra were measured with CR39 detectors and compared to particle-in-cell (PIC) relativistic plasma dynamics simulations. The neutron source characteristics were analyzed using various neutron detection techniques\, including Time-of-Flight measurements\, bubble detectors\, and neutron-capture gamma-ray measurements.\nSecond\, THz generation from laser filamentation in air was investigated. For security applications\, THz can complement X-ray scanning\, because THz can detect non- metallic materials and dangerous chemicals while not ionizing the sample. Even though there have been extensive studies on THz generation from laser filamentation processes\, the exact generation mechanisms are yet to be determined. In the thesis\, optimization of THz radiation using an adaptive optic with active feedback was demonstrated. Using the genetic algorithm\, the THz radiation was improved six-fold without the need for detailed knowledge of the mechanisms. In particular\, the use of a high repetition-rate laser system accelerated the optimization of the THz signal. Another strength of this optimization system is that it can enhance certain THz generation mechanisms depending on the experimental circumstances.\nLastly\, using a nanosecond pulsed high-power laser system (10 Hz)\, a long-range detection technique was developed detection of special nuclear materials. Although direct detection of radiation from nuclear materials can be defeated by radiation shielding\, leakage of radiation-ionized gases can provide an alternative indicator of the existence of nuclear materials. For instance\, in the presence of ionizing radiation\, the ratio of ionized nitrogen to neutral nitrogen would be higher than in no-source air-plasma conditions. By inducing an optical breakdown (plasma) near a sample’s position\, the ionization levels of the surrounding air were analyzed. To enhance the detection efficiency\, an adaptive-optic feedback system was introduced with this ratio as a figure-of-merit. This resulted in a 50 % enhancement in the spectral ratio of the nitrogen lines. In addition\, aerosol-initiated plasma spectra were distinguished from the original air-breakdown plasma\, as a step toward practical deployment.

These manuscripts incorporated prayers\, hymns\, biblical stories\, and monthly calendars featuring religious feast days\, which were often supplemented by images painted in exquisite detail. Today\, books of hours are a testament to the visually rich material culture of the Middle Ages. UMMA was recently gifted a bejeweled double-sided calendar leaf for January. Executed on parchment\, the page highlights the material opulence and artistry involved in manuscript illumination. Accompanying the calendar are painted images or miniatures of the labor and characteristic activity of the month\, and Aquarius\, the zodiac sign for January\, embodied by a man collecting water from a stream. The folio’s luminous\, gilded surface\, accentuated by the use of bright colors\, was meant to transport the medieval viewer into a state of spiritual transcendence. \n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Mrs. Carrol Robertsen.

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.

First\, we hope to think together about the role of interest group and RIW programming in the intellectual life of the English department. What worked well this past year? What issues and questions should we consider collectively? We also want to give group coordinators a chance to announce confirmed guest speakers and to share preliminary plans for next year's events. \n\nThe second part of our conversation will be more geared towards the logistics of running a group and may be of most interest to group coordinators. Please do feel free to come and go as you would like. \n\nTo RSVP\, please contact Hayley O'Malley (hayleyom@umich.edu) or Katie Hummel (hummel@umich.edu).

This talk will analyze different kinds of complicity with racial violence and will defend a view of shared responsibility that goes beyond the bystander model. Working toward community responses that are both reparative and preventive\, I argue for a kind of political mobilization and resistance against racial violence that I term epistemic activism\, which consists in contestatory practices that disrupt complicity with damaging social imaginaries and with the distortions in social perception that hide patterns of racial violence and perpetuate the vulnerabilities of racial minorities. Epistemic activism will be discussed by analyzing photo activism and the activist practices of organizations such as the NAACP and of social movements such as Black Lives Matter.

However\, extremely low molar absorption coefficients of free Ln3+ require their sensitization by the “antenna effect” via appropriate chromophoric ligands in order to obtain a sufficient emission intensity. Therefore\, the design of highly luminescent Ln3+ compounds requires an optimization of the sensitization processes as well as the minimization of non-radiative deactivation mechanisms through overtones of high-energy vibrations\, charge-transfer states and back energy transfer. Moreover\, if Ln3+ coordination compounds are thought to be used in a specific application\, additional requirements such as water solubility\, biocompatibility\, low toxicity\, high thermodynamic stability and/or kinetic inertness for biological applications\, have to be taken into account. \nIn this presentation\, we will show the way from the design and synthesis to the use of highly luminescent lanthanide(III) coordination compounds emitting in the visible and the NIR ranges for biological applications. Particular attention will be given to the detailed analysis of photophysical properties in view of their possible rationalization. Ln3+-based small molecular complexes (polyaminocarboxylates\, metallacrowns)\, macromolecules (dendrimers)\, coordination polymers and nanomaterials will be discussed.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nSvetlana Eliseeva (Centre Moleculaire Biophysique in Orleans\, France) UID:47220-10824750@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47220 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180416T095236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180419T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180419T173000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Minor in Writing ePortfolio Showcase DESCRIPTION:Students from Sweetland's Minor in Writing Gateway and Capstone classes present their e-portfolios.

She was celebrated\, yet adrift. Stranded\, even. What she felt at 22 was not what she felt at 12\, and the music Sierra Hull was writing and playing at home was different from the music she was making on stages. \"In some way\, I was needing to run from the thing that everybody thought I was being\,\" she says now\, at 24. Now\, after consulting with Krauss and with Béla Fleck (who says\, \" She plays the mandolin with a degree of refined elegance and freedom that few have achieved\")\, she returns with the album \"Weighted Mind.\" Fleck served as producer\, and the album\, with 11 of its 12 songs written or co-written by Sierra\, is nothing like what we thought it would be. It is nothing like what we’ve heard before\, from anyone. It is singular and emphatic\, harmonious and dissonant. It is the realization of promise\, and the affirmation of individuality. Alison Krauss\, who has won more Grammy awards than any female artist in history\, says of Sierra\, \"I think she’s endless. I don’t see any boundaries. Talent like hers is so rare\, and I don’t think it stops.\" UID:46591-10558555@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46591 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
