In its traditional form\, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.\n\nIn today's world\, additional knowledge about you resides in \"big data\" collected by individuals\, organizations\, companies\, and governments. Increasingly\, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions. \n\nThis combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life\, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.\n\nWho gathers\, owns\, and controls this data? Where do they get it\, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people\, processed by algorithms\, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?\n\nIn this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy\, surveillance\, reputation\, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.\n\nTeach-Out.org UID:46372-12376528@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46372 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Education,Information and Technology,Lecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180429T180014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180429T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180429T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:USAT Collegiate National Championship 2018 DESCRIPTION:USA Triathlon collegiate club olympic\, DL\, and MTR championships in Tuscaloosa\, AL.

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.

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

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

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

Having never made a motion picture before\, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.\n\nStudents in Matthew Solomon's class\, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive\, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

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.

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.

In its traditional form\, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.\n\nIn today's world\, additional knowledge about you resides in \"big data\" collected by individuals\, organizations\, companies\, and governments. Increasingly\, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions. \n\nThis combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life\, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.\n\nWho gathers\, owns\, and controls this data? Where do they get it\, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people\, processed by algorithms\, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?\n\nIn this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy\, surveillance\, reputation\, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.\n\nTeach-Out.org UID:46372-12376529@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46372 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Education,Information and Technology,Lecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180429T180014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180430T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180430T235900 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:USAT Collegiate National Championship 2018 DESCRIPTION:USA Triathlon collegiate club olympic\, DL\, and MTR championships in Tuscaloosa\, AL.

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.

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 thesis develops new principled statistical tools for network analysis\, with emphasis on both appealing statistical properties and computational efficiency.\n\nOur first project focuses on building prediction models for network-linked data. Prediction algorithms typically assume the training data are independent samples\, but in many modern applications samples come from individuals connected by a network. For example\, in adolescent health studies of risk-taking behaviors\, information on the subjects' social network is often available and plays an important role through network cohesion\, the empirically observed phenomenon of friends behaving similarly. Taking cohesion into account in prediction models should allow us to improve their performance. We propose a network-based penalty on individual node effects to encourage similarity between predictions for linked nodes\, and show that incorporating it into prediction leads to improvement over traditional models both theoretically and empirically when network cohesion is present. The penalty can be used with many loss-based prediction methods\, such as regression\, generalized linear models\, and Cox's proportional hazard model. Applications to predicting levels of recreational activity and marijuana usage among teenagers from the AddHealth study based on both demographic covariates and friendship networks are discussed in detail. We show that our approach to taking friendships into account can significantly improve predictions of behavior while providing interpretable estimates of covariate effects.\n\nResampling\, data splitting\, and cross-validation are powerful general strategies in statistical inference\, but resampling from a network remains a challenging problem. Many statistical models and methods for networks need model selection and tuning parameters\, which could be done by cross-validation if we had a good method for splitting network data\; however\, splitting network nodes into groups requires deleting edges and destroys some of the structure. Here we propose a new network cross-validation strategy based on splitting edges rather than nodes\, which avoids losing information and is applicable to a wide range of network models. We provide a theoretical justification for our method in a general setting and demonstrate how our method can be used in a number of specific model election and parameter tuning tasks\, with extensive numerical results on simulated networks demonstrating its competitiveness with task-specific methods. We also apply the method to analysis of a citation network of statisticians and obtain meaningful research communities.\n\nFinally\, we consider the problem of community detection on partially observed networks. Communities are one important type of structure in networks and they have been widely studied. However\, in practice\, network data are often collected through sampling mechanisms\, such as survey questionnaires\, instead of direct observation. The noise and bias introduced by such sampling mechanisms can obscure the community structure and invalidate the assumptions of standard community detection methods. We propose a model to incorporate neighborhood sampling\, through a model reflective of survey designs\, into community detection for directed networks\, since friendship networks obtained from surveys are naturally directed.. We model the edge sampling probabilities as a function of both individual preferences and community parameters\, and fit the model by a combination of spectral clustering and the method of moments. The algorithm is computationally efficient and comes with a theoretical guarantee of consistency.. We evaluate the proposed model in extensive simulation studies and applied it to a faculty hiring dataset\, discovering a meaningful hierarchy of communities among US business schools.

The diffusion problem is a lower-order but reasonably accurate approximation to the higher- fidelity multigroup neutron transport eigenvalue problem\, and\, in cases where the full-fidelity of the transport solution is needed\, its solution can be used to accelerate the convergence of transport solvers via methods such as Coarse Mesh Finite Difference (CMFD). Although the multigroup CMFD eigenvalue problem is orders of magnitude smaller than a typical transport problem\, it can still have hundreds of millions of unknowns\, and obtaining its solution is not a trivial task. In the Michigan Parallel Characteristics Transport (MPACT) code\, the lack of an efficient CMFD solver has resulted in a computational bottleneck at the CMFD step. Despite being a low-order accelerator\, the CMFD component of MPACT can comprise 50% or more of the overall runtime when the de facto default CMFD solver in MPACT is used. Addressing this bottleneck is the motivation for our work.\nThe primary focus of this thesis is the theory\, development\, implementation\, and testing of a new Multilevel-in-Space-and-Energy Diffusion (MSED) method for efficiently solving multigroup diffusion and CMFD eigenvalue problems. As its name suggests\, MSED efficiently converges multigroup diffusion and CMFD problems by leveraging lower-order systems with coarsened energy and/or spatial grids. Compared to the de facto default CMFD solver\, results from our implementation of MSED in MPACT show a ~8- 12x reduction in the CMFD runtime required by MPACT for single statepoint calculations on 3-D\, full-core\, 51-group reactor models. The number of transport sweeps is also typically reduced by the use of MSED\, which is able to better converge the CMFD system than the default CMFD solver. This leads to further savings in overall runtime that is not captured by the difference in CMFD runtime.

In its traditional form\, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.\n\nIn today's world\, additional knowledge about you resides in \"big data\" collected by individuals\, organizations\, companies\, and governments. Increasingly\, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions. \n\nThis combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life\, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.\n\nWho gathers\, owns\, and controls this data? Where do they get it\, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people\, processed by algorithms\, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?\n\nIn this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy\, surveillance\, reputation\, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.\n\nTeach-Out.org UID:46372-12376530@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46372 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Education,Information and Technology,Lecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170927T201723 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180501T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180501T235900 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections.

The World at Home DESCRIPTION:The International Institute (II) recognizes that we live in a global world and understands the need to provide students with a truly international education. The II advocates this mission\, in part\, through its Experiential Learning Fund-designed to support faculty who wish to incorporate a hands-on international experience into an ongoing course\, group internship\, or academic program. From Tokyo to Kraków to Mexico City\, international experiences are paramount not only in preparing students to become active and informed global citizens but also in providing the training that enhances students' long-term career prospects. \n\nThis collaborative exhibition celebrates the impactful\, international experiences of the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning\, made possible through the Experiential Learning Fund. We believe international engagement not only serves the students and faculty who participate\, but also the greater university community. When participants return to campus and share their experiences… they bring the world home.

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

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

Having never made a motion picture before\, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.\n\nStudents in Matthew Solomon's class\, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive\, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

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.

In its traditional form\, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.\n\nIn today's world\, additional knowledge about you resides in \"big data\" collected by individuals\, organizations\, companies\, and governments. Increasingly\, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions. \n\nThis combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life\, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.\n\nWho gathers\, owns\, and controls this data? Where do they get it\, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people\, processed by algorithms\, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?\n\nIn this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy\, surveillance\, reputation\, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.\n\nTeach-Out.org UID:46372-12376531@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46372 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Education,Information and Technology,Lecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170927T201723 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180502T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180502T235900 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections.

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

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

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.

Katz Lectureship in Chemical Engineering DESCRIPTION:Presented by Emily A. Carter\, Princeton University\nLecture Title: \"Mechanisms for Sustainable Fuel and Chemical Production from First Principles\"\n\nAbstract\n\nSomeday the world’s liquid fuels needed for ships and airplanes will come from sustainable sources and low-energy processing. We are far from that day. While that fact is unfortunate\, it opens up exciting opportunities for researchers from many different fields to work together to realize that vision. I will report on some of my research group’s contributions toward this goal\, as we develop and apply quantum mechanics-based simulation methods to unravel mechanisms associated with (photo) electrochemical water oxidation and carbon dioxide reduction at semiconductor electrodes and plasmon-catalyzed bond breaking over metal nanoparticles. The talk will focus primarily on CO2 photoelectroreduction to fuel precursors but will also outline the potential for plasmonic catalysis to replace\, e.g.\, the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process. This latter work illustrates the potential to develop a non-thermal\, low-pressure\, visible-light-based approach to ammonia synthesis and hence to sustainable fertilizer production.\n\nShort Biography\n\nEmily A. Carter is the Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Gerhard R. Andlinger Professor in Energy and the Environment\, as well as Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton University.

Guitarist Whit Smith and fiddler Elana James have become a world-class country-jazz duo\, challenging each other and reading each other's minds at every turn. Add in the insouciant lyrics of the era and the vigorous slap-bass rhythms of Jake Erwin\, and you've got virtuoso small-group western swing that's beyond infectious.

In its traditional form\, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.\n\nIn today's world\, additional knowledge about you resides in \"big data\" collected by individuals\, organizations\, companies\, and governments. Increasingly\, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions. \n\nThis combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life\, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.\n\nWho gathers\, owns\, and controls this data? Where do they get it\, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people\, processed by algorithms\, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?\n\nIn this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy\, surveillance\, reputation\, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.\n\nTeach-Out.org UID:46372-12376532@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46372 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Education,Information and Technology,Lecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180503T135502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180503T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180503T235900 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach-Out Series: Extreme Weather: Tornado Season DESCRIPTION:Approximately 1\,200 tornadoes hit the United States per year and because of their unpredictable and violent nature\, tornadoes remain a focal point in extreme weather conversations. In this Teach-Out\, you will learn about the frequency of tornadic events both in the United States and globally\, the methods used to assess the strength of tornadoes\, what research tells us about their origins and structure\, and tornado preparedness and response strategies. You will also explore to what degree scientists believe the frequency and/or intensity of tornadic storms are affected by climate change. \n\nThe Teach-Out will address the following questions:\nWhat is a thunderstorm and how do some become severe?\nWhere are tornadic thunderstorms likely to form?\nWhat are the combination of conditions needed to create a tornadic thunderstorm?\nHow can you best prepare for a tornado in your community?\nIs there any reason to believe that the frequency or intensity of tornadoes is likely to increase in the future due to climate change?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the Extreme Weather Series\, a multi-part examination of the causes of various extreme weather events and to what degree climate change impacts the frequency or intensity of these events. We will also provide participants with strategies and resources to better prepare or respond to extreme weather in their own context. \n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

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.

In its traditional form\, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.\n\nIn today's world\, additional knowledge about you resides in \"big data\" collected by individuals\, organizations\, companies\, and governments. Increasingly\, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions. \n\nThis combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life\, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.\n\nWho gathers\, owns\, and controls this data? Where do they get it\, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people\, processed by algorithms\, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?\n\nIn this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy\, surveillance\, reputation\, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.\n\nTeach-Out.org UID:46372-12376533@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46372 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Education,Information and Technology,Lecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180503T135502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180504T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180504T235900 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach-Out Series: Extreme Weather: Tornado Season DESCRIPTION:Approximately 1\,200 tornadoes hit the United States per year and because of their unpredictable and violent nature\, tornadoes remain a focal point in extreme weather conversations. In this Teach-Out\, you will learn about the frequency of tornadic events both in the United States and globally\, the methods used to assess the strength of tornadoes\, what research tells us about their origins and structure\, and tornado preparedness and response strategies. You will also explore to what degree scientists believe the frequency and/or intensity of tornadic storms are affected by climate change. \n\nThe Teach-Out will address the following questions:\nWhat is a thunderstorm and how do some become severe?\nWhere are tornadic thunderstorms likely to form?\nWhat are the combination of conditions needed to create a tornadic thunderstorm?\nHow can you best prepare for a tornado in your community?\nIs there any reason to believe that the frequency or intensity of tornadoes is likely to increase in the future due to climate change?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the Extreme Weather Series\, a multi-part examination of the causes of various extreme weather events and to what degree climate change impacts the frequency or intensity of these events. We will also provide participants with strategies and resources to better prepare or respond to extreme weather in their own context. \n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue.

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. Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

This dissertation advances our understanding of multiscale models and develops a mathematically rigorous closure modeling framework by combining the Mori-Zwanzig formalism of Statistical Mechanics with the Variational Multiscale method (MZ-VMS). This approach leverages scale-separation and phase-space projectors to provide a systematic modeling approach that is applicable to complex non-linear partial differential equations. Spectral as well as finite element methods are considered.\n\nThe MZ-VMS framework leads to a closure term that is non-local in time and appears as a memory integral. The resulting non-Markovian system is used as a starting point for model development. Several new insights are discovered: We show that unresolved scales lead to memory effects that are driven by the coarse-scale residual and\, in the case of finite elements\, inter-element jumps. Connections between MZ-based methods\, artificial viscosity\, and VMS models are explored.\n\nLarge eddy simulations of Burgers’ equation\, turbulent flows\, and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence using spectral and discontinuous Galerkin methods are explored. We show that MZ-VMS models lead to substantial improvements in the prediction of quantities of interest. Applications to discontinuous Galerkin methods show that modern flux schemes can inherently capture memory effects. We conclude by demonstrating how ideas from MZ-VMS can be adapted for shock-capturing and filtering methods.\n\nDissertation Committee\n\nChair: Associate Professor Karthik Duraisamy\nCognate: Associate Professor Eric Johnsen

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.

Our first project considers joint mean and covariance estimation in the Kronecker product model\, which has natural methodological connections to large-scale screening and differential mean analysis in various application areas including genomics. It has been proposed that complex populations\, such as those that arise in genomics studies\, may exhibit dependencies among observations as well as among variables. This gives rise to the challenging problem of analyzing unreplicated high-dimensional data with unknown mean and dependence structures. Matrix-variate approaches that impose various forms of (inverse) covariance sparsity allow flexible dependence structures to be estimated\, but cannot directly be applied when the mean and covariance matrices are estimated jointly. We present a practical method utilizing generalized least squares and penalized (inverse) covariance estimation to address this challenge. We establish consistency and obtain rates of convergence for estimating the mean parameters and covariance matrices. The advantages of our approaches are: (i) dependence graphs and covariance structures can be estimated in the presence of unknown mean structure\, (ii) the mean structure becomes more efficiently estimated when accounting for the dependence structure among observations\; and (iii) inferences about the mean parameters become correctly calibrated. We use simulation studies and analysis of genomic data from a twin study of ulcerative colitis to illustrate the statistical convergence and the performance of our methods in practical settings. Several lines of evidence show that the test statistics for differential gene expression produced by our methods are correctly calibrated and improve power over conventional methods.\n\nOur second project uses matrix-variate techniques to gain insight into pitch curve data that plays an important role in linguistics research. These curves can be viewed as large multi-indexed data arrays with distinct covariance behaviors along each index. We estimate covariance and inverse covariance matrices and graphs\, and we connect edge structures to word properties. By contrast with the first project\, the pitch curve data contains a limited number of replicates\, which allows us to use trial residualization to remove mean structure. We investigate whether edges are associated with characteristics of the words\, including initial consonant\, vowel type\, and voicing using inverse covariance graphs estimated using graphical lasso and nodewise regression. In particular\, we hierarchically decompose the words by consonants and/or by vowels while analyzing edges between individual words as well as word groups categorized by initial consonant or vowel properties.

In its traditional form\, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.\n\nIn today's world\, additional knowledge about you resides in \"big data\" collected by individuals\, organizations\, companies\, and governments. Increasingly\, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions. \n\nThis combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life\, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.\n\nWho gathers\, owns\, and controls this data? Where do they get it\, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people\, processed by algorithms\, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?\n\nIn this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy\, surveillance\, reputation\, and identity using a case study approach.

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.

They can improve mobility for the disabled\, strengthen emergency rescue workers\, and keep soldiers safer. Currently most working exoskeletons are out of reach of the public\, confined mostly to research and military. With this competition we hope to change this.\n\nTHE COMPETITION\nThe ACE Competition 2018 is an event to test the functionality of load-bearing leg exoskeletons in real-world situations. The event's obstacle course challenge simulates a firefighter with 75 lbs of equipment navigating through difficult terrain likely to be found in an emergency situation. Through this challenge\, engineering students can test exoskeletons that reduce the burden of equipment weight in difficult environments.

Marx's call: “Workers of the world unite!” resonates today amid an eruption of the class struggle on every continent. In the first four months of 2018\, tens of millions of people have participated in the largest demonstrations and strikes in decades.\n\nThe capitalist system\, based on the exploitation of the working class\, is wracked by crisis.\n\nAll over the world\, the ruling elites seek to protect their wealth and save this bankrupt system by resorting to war and repression. The governments and corporations are censoring the Internet out of fear that this revolutionary source for information and communication can link workers across the world in a common struggle against inequality\, dictatorship and war.\n\nThe International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI) and the World Socialist Web Site are commemorating Marx's birthday alongside May Day\, the international day of working class solidarity\, with an international online rally with participants from dozens of countries worldwide. Speakers will include leaders of the Fourth International from around the world.
