Indeed\, prior to receiving a full undergraduate education\, even aspiring nuclear engineers may only be aware of a few applications and opportunities in the nuclear field. However\, the applications of and opportunities within nuclear science and technology go much further than power generation. For example\, the medical field has benefited greatly from advances in nuclear science and technology with nuclear-enabled tools for imaging\, cancer treatments\, and sterilization. Irradiating food offers protection from harmful microorganisms without compromising the quality of food. Nuclear science and technology provides tools to law enforcement and national security personnel to help identify threats and protect our communities. Of course\, nuclear power generation is a major focus in education\, research\, and industry\; and the successes and advances in this area are not to be overlooked.Professionals working in the nuclear industry often require skills and expertise beyond strictly nuclear science. Modeling and simulation analysts must learn and maintain computer coding skills. The nuclear power industry needs professionals that understand regulations in order to meet their strict requirements for safety. Additionally\, the nuclear power industry is looking to those with an entrepreneurial spirit to bring new technologies to fruition that promise increased performance at a lower cost. The finances of nuclear power plants are unique in the energy production sector and require those with economic expertise to plan for the continued\, financially successful operation of nuclear power plants.VCU has chosen to focus on the broad nature of nuclear science and technology with the theme “Nuclear is ________________.” Under this theme\, the conference will explore the many opportunities accustomed to students within the nuclear science and technology realm. The theme will also encompass the many supportive activities\, technologies\, and experts in varied fields of nuclear science and technology. Obvious examples of the application of the theme include: “Nuclear is thermal-hydraulics.” or “Nuclear is neutronics.” or “Nuclear is nonproliferation.” Other\, less obvious applications of the theme include: “Nuclear is cyber security.” or “Nuclear is health.” or “Nuclear is advocacy.” or “Nuclear is economics.”In addition\, this theme allows VCU to explore the subtle and ubiquitous impacts of nuclear science and technology. For example: “Nuclear is making toast.” One out of every five pieces of bread used in making toast is toasted using electricity generated from nuclear power plants. Another example would be “Nuclear is fresh herbs and spices.” Almost every jar of dried herbs or spices sold in the U.S. has been irradiated to preserve its flavor and maintain longer shelf-lives. Demonstrating the successful and safe day-to-day use of nuclear science and technology represents an important nuclear advocacy tool that we will highlight throughout the conference.Additionally\, the exciting new technologies that hold much promise for the nuclear industry will be represented by “Nuclear is entrepreneurship.” and “Nuclear is innovation.” Innovations in reactor designs\, medical applications\, and security tools will require those with the imagination and the business skills capable of launching new products and/or companies that fulfill the promise of an improved world. In contrast with the ubiquitous and mundane\, successes in innovation and entrepreneurship represent the exciting and inspiring aspects of nuclear science and technology that will energize those students in attendance.

However\, these techniques present several risks associated with device insertion and traditionally struggle to treat tumors greater than 3 cm in diameter. Thermally-based high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) are noninvasive but have been shown to cause significant collateral damage to adjacent healthy tissues and may require an excessively long treatment time. Thus\, there is an unmet need for a noninvasive ablation technique capable of treating large tumors rapidly and safely.\n\nHistotripsy is a completely extracorporeal\, non-thermal ultrasound ablation technique which uses high-amplitude\, short-duration\, focused acoustic pulses at low duty cycle to homogenize target-tissue into an acellular slurry by means of finely-controlled acoustic cavitation. Previous studies have demonstrated that histotripsy is capable of noninvasive tissue-ablation in vivo for a broad spectrum of applications. This dissertation investigated methods and systems toward the clinical translation of histotripsy for the treatment of large-volume tissue-targets. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was selected as a test-case to frame development efforts.\n\nIn the first part of this dissertation\, strategies for accelerating treatment based on electronic focal steering of a phased array histotripsy transducer were investigated. Research was centered around the management and manipulation of residual cavitation nuclei\, hundreds of which are dispersed throughout the focus following collapse of the cavitation bubble cloud produced by each histotripsy pulse and perturb subsequent de novo cavitation at the intended focus. A novel method in which low-gain regions of the therapy beam were utilized to drive the coalescence of residual nuclei via the secondary Bjerknes force was developed and validated. Results demonstrated 99.9% complete ablation of a 27-mL volume (equivalent to a sphere 3.7 cm in diameter) within 30 s.\n\nIn the second part of this dissertation\, compensation methods for respiratory motion of abdominal organs during histotripsy treatment were investigated. Like HIFU\, SBRT\, and several imaging modalities\, histotripsy is sensitive to the periodic respiratory motion of abdominal organs\, which oscillate with up to 4 cm peak-to-trough amplitude and at up to 3 cm/s during normal respiration. Without compensation for respiratory motion there is an elevated risk of under-treating target-tissue\, damaging adjacent healthy tissues and prolonging treatment. This part of the dissertation reviews existing methods for respiratory motion compensation\, explores the feasibility of integrating these methods with histotripsy therapy\, and presents a novel cavitation-based motion tracking technique. Using this technique\, residual cavitation nuclei were coalesced into a small bubble-system and used as an in situ fiducial marker which was tracked throughout a predefined trajectory by a histotripsy therapy system capable of receiving acoustic backscatter signals. Results demonstrated the feasibility of receiving acoustic signals from this fiducial cavitation bubble cloud throughout a 16-cm trajectory with a mean error of 0.7 ± 0.3 mm.\n\nIn the final part of the dissertation\, novel design and fabrication techniques were developed for a real-time-ultrasound-imaging guided\, highly steerable phased array histotripsy transducer for liver ablation featuring arbitrarily shaped\, densely\, packed\, and easily replaceable elements. High-powered transducers are the key enabling technology for histotripsy. Our lab has demonstrated the use of rapid prototyping methods for the fabrication of histotripsy arrays but these techniques have been limited to producing arrays with low packing density (~60%). The transducer design methods presented herein implemented a series of algorithms which analyzed human CT data to define the geometry of the array’s aperture\, divided the aperture into discrete\, nesting elements\, and simulated the electronic focal steering range of this aperture as a function of the number of elements into which it was divided. Novel fabrication methods facilitated a very small gap (0.5 mm) between active piezoelectric material which resulted in a packing density >90%. The design of the array is presented\, and the fabrication process and performance of individual elements are described. Simulation shows that this array is capable of electronically steering over a range sufficient to treat tissue-targets up to 3.6 cm in diameter in porcine or human subjects. \n\nChair: Zhen Xu UID:62571-15405810@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62571 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - 3358 A CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181230T093030 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190404T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190404T120000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Appearance DESCRIPTION:Beth Spencer will team up with Gina Thompson to explore issues related to reactions to changing appearance by women as they age.

His family settled in Grand Rapids\, Michigan after stays in both Japan and Iowa. After attending various universities around Michigan\, John took an education hiatus to work in a cannery in Alaska. It was there that he found his calling in the pages of American Craft while scouring the tables of free magazines at the Anchorage Public Library. He received his BFA (Furniture Design) from Northern Michigan University in 1996 and his MFA (Furniture Design) from Rhode Island School of Design in 2000. John teaches in the School of Art and Design at Eastern Michigan University. John has recently exhibited work at the Muskegon Museum of Art\, the Midland Center for the Arts\, the Grand Rapids Art Museum\, and the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum. He lives in Ann Arbor and maintains a studio in his home.\n\n<<>><<>><<>> Householdments <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>\nWhile I don’t literally remember my earliest childhood years in Japan where I was born\, I have over my lifetime\, stitched together memories based on home movies\, family photos\, and images from my imagination. I “remember” the aesthetics of the place - objects and environments carefully made in wood\, stone\, and steel. Without necessarily conscious of it at the time\, I was dimly aware of Japanese visual composition. Things around me held an inherent logic and beauty\, a perfection made possible by keen tools\, quality materials\, and proficient makers. This three-part integration was embedded early on and continues to affect my own ongoing pursuit in object making.\n\nWhile finding my way as a young maker\, I realized where I belonged mostly because of how various studios smelled. The ceramics studio was musty and dirty\, the metals studio was acrid and smoky\, but the wood studio had an earthy aroma. My kind of place. The tools immediately felt right as well. Chisels\, planes\, and knives when sharpened properly could manipulate the material in ways I never expected. While I was clearly not a natural talent\, I quickly realized that a little bit of tenacity goes a long way. I also realized that I loved the logic for how wood parts can fit together. To build a wooden object or a piece of furniture each part depends on the fit of others. I deeply appreciate this fitting togetherness – how doors fit\, how drawers fit\, how joints fit\, how hinges fit. It all makes sense\, and this sensibility carries through to what I’m doing today.\n\nWorking in wood typically requires a high degree of planning before actual construction\, and over time I realized I craved the ability to work with more spontaneity. The work in this show reflects my wish to keep the working process a bit more flexible and intuitive.\n\nWhen starting with a sketch that I believe has potential\, I now begin to build directly\, without drawings or maquettes. I’ll constantly assess what has been built and allow myself to alter it\, continue with it\, or get rid of it and start over. I’m more interested in seeing where this process takes me than I am in finishing something precisely as planned. This results in some playfulness and whimsy that I hope is reflected in this work.\n\nThe word Householdments is an old and obscure term without modern usage that refers to furniture or things we keep in our houses. It strikes me as an odd word but well fitted to describe the objects in this exhibit. The pieces in this show are a collection of my personal householdments.

Phifer is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Chicago Divinity School. He has been a Unitarian Universalist minister for half a century and is minister emeritus of the Ann Arbor UU Congregation.\n\nAmong the many ways in which gender roles have been shaped in the 21st century are the portraits of women (and men) in the Jewish and Christian Bibles\, and the interpretations that Judaism and Christianity\, as well as secular society\, have put on these women (and men). Too often these interpretations of women have been negative and harmful. A more careful reading of the texts\, as many scholars in the last half century have been doing\, reveals much more positive images of Biblical women. There is courage\, intelligence\, craftiness\, and common sense practicality in abundance. This lecture highlights some of these feisty women who might serve as models for the 21st century woman.\n\nThis is the first in a six-lecture series. The subject is Changing Gender Roles. The next lecture will be April 11\, 2019. The title is: The More Things Change\, The More They Stay the Same: Gender Socialization in Early Childhood.

Yet despite this focus on creation\, American librarianship has positioned itself as a social science. Although many different scientific approaches have been used in the field\, few since the beginnings of the 20th century have approached librarianship as if it was not a science at all. In recent years\, a well-established record of research has demonstrated that design is a fundamentally different epistemological approach to science. While science observes and describes the existing world with the goal of replicability and prediction\, design creates artifacts intended to solve problems and\, ultimately\, change the world from its existing state to a preferred state. This presentation will discuss the implicit role of design in librarianship and its effects on user services and professional values\, culminating in a provocative reconceptualization of contemporary librarianship as a design field\, with recommendations for explicitly incorporating this new perspective into library research\, education\, and practice.\n\nFormerly the cataloging librarian at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising\, Rachel Ivy Clarke is currently an assistant professor at the Syracuse University School of Information Studies. Her research focuses on the application of design methodologies and epistemologies to facilitate the systematic\, purposeful design of library services and education. Her multiple-award-winning dissertation argues that librarianship is more appropriately viewed as a design field rather than a scientific one. Current projects include the IMLS-funded Designing Future Library Leaders\, which investigates the integration of design methods and principles in graduate level library education\, and The Critical Catalog\, an OCLC/ALISE funded project using critical design methodology to provoke the exploration of diverse library reading materials. She holds a BA in creative writing from California State University\, Long Beach\, an MLIS from San Jose State University\, and a PhD from the University of Washington.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Japan is known for the extensive use of STW\, and we assemble unique data on STW for over 3\, 000 Japanese firms. Firms that used STW during a recession following the financial meltdown of 2008 are found to have slower employment growth in subsequent years. Such firms are\, however\, found to have similar growth of productivity and profitability in subsequent years. Japanese STW helps reduce employment volatility over the business cycle without harming firm performance. \n \nNaomi Kodama is a Professor in the College of Economics at Nihon University in Japan.

The genre of Local Gazetteers (difang zhi 地方誌) records a considerable number of disasters for the period of the Yuan-dynasty (1279-1368). The political nature of these data is well known and yet\, scientists from the early 20th to the 21st era of anthropocene debates have used them\, not only to advance their political agenda\, but also their sciences. This lecture will lead you through the way in which contemporary actors of the Yuan\, Ming historians\, and Chinese scientists from Zhu Kezhen to modern climatologists and historians produce(d) and use(d) ideas about weather and disaster. The focus of this lecture will be on the changing relations such actors draw between local knowledge\, history\, and imperial cosmology\, i.e. since the 20th century also “local knowledge\,” historical analysis\, and geology and climate science. \n \n Dagmar Schäfer is the Director of Department III (Artefacts\, Action\, & Knowledge) at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG). A prominent scholar in the history and sociology of technology of China\, she focuses on the paradigms configuring the discourse on technological development\, past and present. She has published widely on the premodern history of China (Song-Ming) and technology\, materiality\, the processes and structures that lead to varying knowledge systems\, and the changing role of artifacts—texts\, objects\, and spaces—in the creation\, diffusion\, and use of scientific and technological knowledge.

The plan is to hold a monthly journal club-like discussion\, through selecting science-related current topics of interest to both scientists and the public\, and deconstructing articles and white papers of differing opinions. Finally\, we are collaborating with MiSciWriters for these events with the goal of writing a blog post summarizing the discussion of the group each month.\n\nOur first topic will delve into discussing open access publishing of scholarly articles. What are the benefits and responsibilities of researchers to be open and transparent with their research findings to the public? What are the drawbacks\, risks and considerations related to moving towards completely open access? We will explore both sides of the debate\, using the following short reads to lead the discussion:\nOpen Access: The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly - https://bitesizebio.com/34520/open-access-good-bad-ugly/\nUC terminates subscriptions with Elsevier - https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/press-room/uc-terminates-subscriptions-worlds-largest-scientific-publisher-push-open-access-publicly\nFree Access to Science Research Doesn't Benefit Everyone - https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/12/free-access-to-science-research-doesnt-benefit-everyone/383875/\n\nPlease RSVP\, we will have coffee and some snacks\, please bring your own bagged lunch!

Proteins/ion channels that sense mechanical force are postulated to play critical roles in sensing touch/pain (somatosensation)\, sound (hearing)\, shear stress (cardiovascular function)\, etc.\; however\, the identity of ion channels involved in sensing mechanical force had remained elusive. The Patapoutian lab identified PIEZO1 and PIEZO2\, mechanically-activated cation channels that are expressed in many mechanosensitive cell types. Genetic studies established that PIEZO2 is the principal mechanical transducer for touch\, proprioception\, baroreception and lung stretch\, and that PIEZO1 mediates blood-flow sensing\, which impacts vascular development. Clinical investigations have confirmed the importance of these channels in human physiology. Most recently\, Patapoutian lab identified TMEM63/OSCA family of mechanically activated ion channels as well as a GPCR (GPR68) that senses shear stress and is essential for controlling flow-mediated dilation of blood vessels. The lab continues to analyze the physiological relevance of these receptors in and is searching for novel mechanosensors.\n\nSpeaker:\nArdem Patapoutian\, Ph.D.\, is a molecular biologist specializing in sensory transduction. His notable contributions include identifying novel ion channels activated by temperature\, mechanical force and increased cell volume. His laboratory has shown that these ion channels play crucial roles in sensing temperature\, touch\, proprioception and pain.\n \nPatapoutian was born in Lebanon and attended the American University of Beirut for one year before he immigrated to the United States in 1986. He graduated from UCLA and them received his Ph.D. at Caltech in the lab of Dr. Barbara Wold. After postdoctoral work with Dr. Lou Reichardt at UCSF\, he joined the faculty of The Scripps Research Institute in 2000\, where he is currently a professor in the Department of Neuroscience and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Patapoutian was awarded the Young Investigator Award from the Society for Neuroscience in 2006 and the Alden W. Spencer Award from Columbia University in 2017.

Simulation tools are increasingly being used in the ideation phase by designers to get real-time simulation of the parts as soon as they are being conceptualized. This has resulted in shorter\, agile product cycles even for hardware products allowing innovative products to be designed and produced in months and days. Companies are increasingly using model-based systems engineering concepts to take high level requirements of products\, and manage the complexity of product design using concepts of Digital Threads\, Digital Twins\, and Digital Continuity. We will touch upon some future directions of simulation-based product innovation around AI/Machine Learning\, Multi-physics Platforms\, Hyperscale Simulation\, and the convergence of the Digital and Physical worlds using IOT and Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality.\n\nPrith Banerjee is the Chief Technology Officer of ANSYS where he is responsible for leading the evolution of ANSYS’ Technology strategy and champion the company’s next phase of innovation and growth.

Research across mammalian species has revealed how ecological factors\, including sociality and predation\, influence sleep characteristics. More recently\, we have documented how many of these same selective forces have shaped the evolution of human sleep relative to other primates. I will present these evolutionary findings and discuss the follow-up research we have conducted in Madagascar and Tanzania to better understand the ecology of human sleep. Collectively\, our findings suggest that risks and opportunity costs have shaped human sleep in terms of duration\, quality\, and social patterning. Perceptions of threat in our increasingly urban and stressful world are likely triggering many of these same effects\, potentially leading to sleep disparities that drive health disparities in marginalized populations.

Kales\, a professor in U-M's Department of Psychiatry and Director of the Program for Positive Aging\, will present \"Using precision health to move the dementia care paradigm from sedation to person-centeredness.\" There will be time allotted for discussion after the presentation. Registration will close when full.\n\nAbstract:\nThere are currently over 5 million people with dementia in the US and over 15 million family caregivers providing them care. While memory problems are the hallmark of dementia\, the most problematic symptoms associated with the illness are behavioral and psychological. These include depression\, anxiety\, agitation\, psychosis\, aggression\, wandering\, sexually inappropriate behaviors\, and many others. While multiple expert bodies endorse the use of behavioral and environmental strategies for these behaviors first line\, the current treatment paradigm is largely one of knee-jerk sedation using psychotropics off-label. This is neither personalized nor precise. Kales will describe the creation and application of the DICE Approach to assessing and managing dementia behaviors as well as a web-based application of DICE called “The WeCareAdvisor.”\n\nBio:\nHelen Kales\, MD\, is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan and a Research Investigator in the Center for Clinical Management Research (CCMR) and the Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center (GRECC) in the VA Ann Arbor Health System. She is a fellowship-trained\, board-certified geriatric psychiatrist\, and her research program is directly informed by her clinical work and experiences with patients\, families\, providers\, and systems to diminish the barriers to effective and high-quality care for older patients with mental health issues or dementia. Kales has published over 120 peer-reviewed papers\, and her research has been continuously federally funded since 2004. In July 2019\, Kales will become the Chair of Psychiatry and Joe Tupin Endowed Professor at the University of California\, Davis\, where she plans to establish a center on positive aging.

But\, the policies that result actually place white Americans at ever-greater risk of sickness and death.\n\nPhysician Jonathan M. Metzl’s quest to understand the health implications of “backlash governance” leads him across America’s heartland. Interviewing a range of everyday Americans\, he examines how racial resentment fueled pro-gun laws in Missouri\, resistance to the Affordable Care Act in Tennessee\, and cuts to schools and social services in Kansas. And he shows these policies’ costs: increasing deaths by gun suicide\, rising dropout rates\, and falling life expectancies. White Americans\, Metzl argues\, must reject the racial hierarchies that promise to aid them but in fact lead our nation to demise.\n\nEvent Accessibility : \nRamp and elevator access at the E.

We study a class of “re-solving heuristics” for this problem. These heuristics periodically re-optimize an approximation of the problem known as the deterministic linear program (DLP)\, where random customer arrivals are replaced by their expectations. We find that\, in general\, frequently re-solving the DLP produces the same order of revenue loss as one would get without re solving\, which scales as the square root of the problem size. However\, by re-solving the DLP at a few selected points in time\, we design a new re-solving heuristic\, whose revenue loss is bounded by a constant that is independent of the problem size. \n\n(Joint work with PhD student Pornpawee Bumpensanti.

In-vivo\, alveolar epithelial cells normally experience 15% cyclic strain while increased tumor stiffness can result in a 40-fold decrease in cyclic strain. Although biomechanical factors in the tumor microenvironment have been shown to be a significant driver of cancer progression\, there is limited information about how biophysical forces alter tumor development and drug resistance in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Therefore\, the first goal of this study was to use computational and in-vitro models to investigate how changes in tumor microenvironment mechanics alter Erlotinib sensitivity. We also sought to develop a novel\, non-invasive way to characterize lung tumor mechanics. Although magnetic resonance electrography (MRE) has been used to measure the mechanical stiffness of soft tissues and quantify a 3-fold increase in lung tissue stiffness in fibrotic patients\, MRE has not been used to evaluate the stiffness profile of tumors within lung cancer patients. Therefore\, in this study\, we also conduct a proof-of-concept evaluation to demonstrate the ability of MRE to measure changes in lung tissue stiffness with a long-term goal of applying this technique to patients at risk for developing lung cancer. Our data indicate that cyclic stretching in the lung tumor microenvironment facilitate Erlotinib resistance. Characterizing tumor strain on a patient-specific basis may represent a novel approach to predict drug resistance and/or efficacy. We are currently using MRE measurements of lung stiffness to develop patient-specific computational models that can quantify mechanical strain at the local level. We are also designing studies to perform MRE in patient populations at risk for lung cancer (i.e. subjects with pulmonary nodules) and designing in-vitro studies that can simulate the complex biomechanics of lung tumors. \n\nYoujin Cho\, M.D.\, is a Ph.D. student in Biomedical Engineering at The Ohio State University.

In the last few years\, particle and kinetic approaches such as direct simulation Monte Carlo\, molecular dynamics\, and particle-in-cell have begun to offer new insights into traditional\, as well as\, non-traditional aerospace systems applications. However\, challenges related to the large variations in length and time scales still remain. Two diverse examples that will be presented in the seminar are (1) the kinetic treatment of electrons in space plasmas that cause spacecraft contamination and (2) the rarefaction affects in unsteady shock-boundary layer interactions. Use of new enabling\, computational algorithms that take advantage of the heterogeneous hardware environments will be discussed. \n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nDEBORAH A. LEVIN\, Professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign - (UIUC)\, received her Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology in chemistry. Before joining PSU in 2000\, she held positions at the Institute for Defense Analyses and George Washington University. Her recent research centers concentrate on the modeling of chemically reacting hypersonic flows\, radiation from hypersonic flows\, and kinetic gas dynamic approaches related to the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. She has been a member of the AIAA Plasmadynamics and Lasers Technical Committee since 1994 and is a past-chair. She is a Fellow of the AIAA\, associate editor of the Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer\, and has co-authored over 110 archival journal article.

Quality Revelation of Labor Intermediaries in International Migration\n\nAbuse and contractual breach are commonplace features of international migrant labor. This may in part be due to asymmetries of information between local labor intermediaries\, prospective migrants and foreign employers. This paper examines a government program in Sri Lanka that created reputational incentives for local labor intermediaries and then publicly revealed their quality. Using a difference-in-difference design with an eligibility cutoff\, we find that the program announcement induced all eligible agencies\, and especially low-quality ones\, to invest in the rating criteria. Second\, we find that eligible agencies experience more and higher quality foreign demand after the revelation of quality. A regression discontinuity design shows that otherwise similar agencies with higher ratings experienced higher foreign demand. We find that the program facilitated better matching between local agencies and foreign employers: reputable employers switch to using higher rated agencies\, driving down future harassment complaint rates by migrants and improving the market outcomes of these agencies.

DESCRIPTION:Cyclonic storms represent the dominant natural disturbance in coastal regions across much of the tropics. Projected increases in cyclonic storm rainfall and wind speeds under a warming climate will have profound effects on these ecosystems\, with implications for forest composition and structure of these and cascading ecosystem services. In this talk\, I will combine remotely-sensed and field plot data to evaluate the risk factors determining spatial variation in the magnitude of damage Hurricane María inflicted on Puerto Rican forests and to estimate total above ground biomass lost to this storm. I will then compare the impacts of H. Hugo\, category 3 storm that struck the island in 1989 with those of H. Maria on a 16-ha forest plot that has been the subject of long term study. Finally\, I will rely on an ecosystem model to explore the effects of a changing storm regime on the carbon dynamics of these forests.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/grpqgS5s5LA UID:49669-11487554@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49669 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181119T132512 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190404T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190404T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Psychoanalytic Perspectives on the Authoritarian's Allure: 1939\, 2019 DESCRIPTION:Psychoanalysts writing in the 1930s and 1940s as witnesses to Europe’s embrace of fascism offered incisive accounts of their own historical moment couched in the idiom of narcissism (featuring fascination\, grandiosity\, and magical thinking\; humiliation\, helplessness\, and insecurity) and drawn from psychoanalysis’s disavowed originary practices (such as hypnosis and suggestion). Individuals’ yearnings to participate in omnipotence and embrace of magical thinking sparked these analysts’ interest. In this talk\, Professor Lunbeck will examine their conceptualizations of the relationship between leader and led\, arguing that these offer a powerful framework within which to understand the fascinations of authoritarianism across the globe today. \n\nElizabeth Lunbeck is a professor of the history of science at Harvard University\, offering courses in the history of the psychotherapies\, of the psychological sciences\, and of the fortunes of psychoanalysis in American culture. She is the author of The Psychiatric Persuasion: Knowledge\, Gender\, and Power in Modern America (Princeton\, 1994)\; with Bennett Simon\, of Family Romance\, Family Secrets (Yale\, 2003)\; and of The Americanization of Narcissism (Harvard\, 2014).

These items include internal communications among Al-Qa‘ida (AQ) members\, their families and jihadis in the group’s orbit\, including the leaders of the parent group of today’s Islamic State. Since these communiqués were not meant for public consumption\, they contain the most reliable data of the organizational dynamics of AQ\, and the nature of the group’s relationships with states and non-state actors. Lahoud is writing a book based on these internal communiqués. This presentation is divided into two parts. The first part is a guide to the declassified Abbottabad items and the process of identifying the internal communications and coding them. The second part of the presentation focuses on key differences between AQ and the parent group of today’s Islamic State\, the group that has eclipsed but not defeated AQ. The Abbottabad documents allow us not just to understand the differences that eventually led to the public divorce between the two groups in February 2014\, but they also explain why the Islamic State failed to endure as a territorial entity. \n\nNelly Lahoud is a senior fellow in New America's International Security program. Dr. Lahoud’s research has focused on the evolution and ideology of al-Qa'ida (AQ) and the ‘Islamic State’ (ISIS/ISIL). She has also published on women's role in AQ and ISIS and the use of anashid (a capella) by these two groups in their media output. She has a Ph.D. from the Research School of Social Sciences — Australian National University. She was a postdoctoral scholar at St. John’s College\, University of Cambridge — UK\; Rockefeller Fellow in Islamic studies at the Library of Congress\; and research fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs\, Harvard University. Her previous appointments include being associate professor at the Department of Social Sciences and senior associate at the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point\; and assistant professor of political theory\, including Islamic political thought\, at Goucher College. Lahoud is fluent in Arabic and French.

Indeed\, prior to receiving a full undergraduate education\, even aspiring nuclear engineers may only be aware of a few applications and opportunities in the nuclear field. However\, the applications of and opportunities within nuclear science and technology go much further than power generation. For example\, the medical field has benefited greatly from advances in nuclear science and technology with nuclear-enabled tools for imaging\, cancer treatments\, and sterilization. Irradiating food offers protection from harmful microorganisms without compromising the quality of food. Nuclear science and technology provides tools to law enforcement and national security personnel to help identify threats and protect our communities. Of course\, nuclear power generation is a major focus in education\, research\, and industry\; and the successes and advances in this area are not to be overlooked.Professionals working in the nuclear industry often require skills and expertise beyond strictly nuclear science. Modeling and simulation analysts must learn and maintain computer coding skills. The nuclear power industry needs professionals that understand regulations in order to meet their strict requirements for safety. Additionally\, the nuclear power industry is looking to those with an entrepreneurial spirit to bring new technologies to fruition that promise increased performance at a lower cost. The finances of nuclear power plants are unique in the energy production sector and require those with economic expertise to plan for the continued\, financially successful operation of nuclear power plants.VCU has chosen to focus on the broad nature of nuclear science and technology with the theme “Nuclear is ________________.” Under this theme\, the conference will explore the many opportunities accustomed to students within the nuclear science and technology realm. The theme will also encompass the many supportive activities\, technologies\, and experts in varied fields of nuclear science and technology. Obvious examples of the application of the theme include: “Nuclear is thermal-hydraulics.” or “Nuclear is neutronics.” or “Nuclear is nonproliferation.” Other\, less obvious applications of the theme include: “Nuclear is cyber security.” or “Nuclear is health.” or “Nuclear is advocacy.” or “Nuclear is economics.”In addition\, this theme allows VCU to explore the subtle and ubiquitous impacts of nuclear science and technology. For example: “Nuclear is making toast.” One out of every five pieces of bread used in making toast is toasted using electricity generated from nuclear power plants. Another example would be “Nuclear is fresh herbs and spices.” Almost every jar of dried herbs or spices sold in the U.S. has been irradiated to preserve its flavor and maintain longer shelf-lives. Demonstrating the successful and safe day-to-day use of nuclear science and technology represents an important nuclear advocacy tool that we will highlight throughout the conference.Additionally\, the exciting new technologies that hold much promise for the nuclear industry will be represented by “Nuclear is entrepreneurship.” and “Nuclear is innovation.” Innovations in reactor designs\, medical applications\, and security tools will require those with the imagination and the business skills capable of launching new products and/or companies that fulfill the promise of an improved world.

To incentivise trustworthiness\, defaulters should be punished by temporary exclusion. However\, it is profitable to trust defaulters who are on the verge of rehabilitation. With perfect bounded information\, defaulter exclusion unravels and trust cannot be sustained\, in any purifiable equilibrium. A coarse information structure\, that pools recent defaulters with those nearing rehabilitation\, endogenously generates adverse selection\, sustaining punishments. Equilibria where defaulters are trusted with positive probability improve efficiency\, by raising the proportion of likely re-offenders in the pool of defaulters.\n\nJoint with V.

In public and private prescription drug plans\, issuers utilize preferred pharmacy networks to reduce drug prices. We show that\, in the Medicare Part D program\, drug plans with restrictive preferred pharmacy networks pay lower retail drug prices\; however\, enrollee insensitivity to preferred pharmacy copay discounts leads to higher prices. We then estimate plan and pharmacy demand models to quantify the costs and benefits of selective contracting with heterogeneous enrollee sensitivity to benefit design.\n\nJoint with Amanda Starc UID:58712-14544817@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58712 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Ross School of Business - R0320 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180920T154248 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:U-M Structure Seminar DESCRIPTION:Jason Porta\, Fellow\, Melanie Ohi Lab\, University of Michigan UID:55762-13777533@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55762 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Structural Biology LOCATION:Life Sciences Institute - Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180815T104044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

The Thousand Year Old Stolen Burmese Buddha Who Traveled The World And The Saga Of Its Return DESCRIPTION:This presentation will profile the return of a rare Buddha image that was stolen from a remote temple in Bagan in 1988 and would travel around the world before finally being returned to its home country in 2012. This long saga\, which involved looters\, antique dealers\, art historians\, lawyers\, ambassadors and curators\, demonstrates the intricate complexities in restituting objects. The priceless sculpture was transported from Myanmar (also known as Burma) to Bangkok\, San Francisco\, New York\, Chicago and Paris. It would be saved from the auction block\, before drawing the involvement of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and becoming the subject of a precedent setting lawsuit for antiquities. \n \n This research explored the different phases of this complex and successful story but also question how to implement restitutions most efficiently in the 21st century. Indeed\, as the themes behind this stolen Buddha’s history have wider resonance for the region. Southeast Asian policymakers have been debating for decades on how to best protect their national heritage from criminals\, while fighting for the restitution of stolen artworks. While the level success within each country has varied\, much remains to be done in facing the continuing challenge of art trafficking. \n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

For larger blocks\, variance estimation is relatively straightforward. For matched pairs\, however\, because one cannot directly estimate variance within a block we have to use estimators that look at variation across the blocks. These alternative estimators have been evaluated under different assumptions than found in the large block literature. Because of this\, these two literatures do not handle cases with blocks of varying sizes\, but which contain singleton treatment or control units. This has also created some confusion regarding the benefits of blocking in general. In this talk\, we reconcile the literatures by carefully examining the performance of different estimators of treatment effect and of variance under several different frameworks. We also provide variance estimators for experiments with many small blocks of different sizes and for experiments with mixtures of large and small blocks. We finally discuss in which situations blocking is or is not guaranteed to reduce the variance of our estimator.\n\nNicole Pashley & Luke Miratrix UID:60717-14946092@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60717 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 411 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190407T120009 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T235959 SUMMARY:Other:A team Tournament DESCRIPTION:The A team has a tournament at Northern Illinois University  UID:62654-15511471@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62654 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Northern Illinois University CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190227T095818 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T133000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Beyond Science Outreach: Connecting with Communities DESCRIPTION:Learn about community engaged scholarship and the variety of ways you can promote positive social change!

Focusing too much on specific details of the networks ignores the overriding theme that the emergence of generic network features is independent of these details. \n \nResults: Cancer is caused by 9 sources of chronic cellular stress which often interact to provide the multiple “hits” that produce malignancy. They are: chronic inflammation (due to infection\, infestation\, autoimmune disorders\, trauma\, overweight\, diabetes and other causes)\; exposure to carcinogens\; reproductive hormones\; Western diet (low fiber\, vegetable and fruit consumption\; high fat)\; aging\; radiation\; immune system dysfunction\; germ line changes and random chronic stress / bad luck. \n \nConclusions: Cancer is an inevitable tradeoff of human biologic design that will always be with us\, particularly as life expectancy increases. However\, we can often prevent it\, we can detect it earlier and we can treat it more effectively. Most cancer is cause by chronic cellular stress\, which disturbs the delicate balance of our interconnected biologic networks. Malignancy arises due to a build up of hierarchies\, in which combination of agents (biomarkers and networks) at one level become agents at the next level. Hierarchies are identifiable by patterns of molecular changes and sometimes by accompanying histologic changes. New cancer treatment approaches will focus on targeting multiple networks to overcome tumor heterogeneity\, reducing the chronic stressors\, moving networks into less lethal states and targeting the chaotic nature of tumors.

I will present evidence that cosmic censorship is violated in the quintessential phenomenon of General Relativity: the collision and merger of two black holes. It only requires a sufficient total angular momentum in a collision in high enough number of dimensions.\nNevertheless\, I will argue that even if cosmic censorship is violated in this and in some other know instances\, its spirit remains unchallenged: classical relativity describes the physics seen by observers outside the black holes accurately\, with only minimal quantum input that does not entail macroscopic disruptions.

The presenters will provide some background information on the prevalence of parents' use of Twitter and then provide rationale for studying fathering and mothering\, especially amongst stay-at-home fathers and mothers\, using Twitter data. Specifically\, the presenters will introduce a few studies their group has conducted to better understand topics and content stay-at-home parents discuss. The presentation will culminate in discussing a number of challenges and opportunities that arise when using Twitter to engage in parenting research. The presenters hope to generate and engage in subsequent discussions on these methodological and ethical issues.

Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm.

Drawing on self-affirmation theory\, we propose that social worth affirmation – which we define as the process by which an individual’s unique contributions are affirmed by social relationships – can prepare individuals to contribute to team performance more effectively. We theorize that affirming team members’ social worth spills over to the new team context\, thereby decreasing their social concerns about being accepted by other members. This\, in turn\, leads to better information exchange and performance in teams. In a first field experiment\, we found that teams in which members experienced social worth affirmation prior to team formation performed better on a problem-solving task (compared to teams without social worth affirmation). In a second experiment\, conducted using task-oriented teams in the U.S. military\, we tested a full model that social worth affirmation influences information exchange and team performance by reducing members’ concerns about social acceptance. In the third experiment using virtual teams\, we find that social worth affirmation improves teams’ ability to exchange information by sharing unique information cues.

In order to overcome various shades of 'othering\,' Homi Bhabha and other postcolonial theorists have conceptualized interactions between different cultures as processes of hybridization. \nI would like to propose an alternative model for describing processes of cultural translation\, namely the model of grafting that has been used not only by Jacques Derrida as a metaphor for textual cut and paste operations\, but also by Johann Gottfried Herder and Friedrich Schleiermacher for the purpose of coming to terms with the foreignness of other languages as well as other cultures. \n \nUwe Wirth holds the chair for German Literature and Cultural Theory at the German Department at the Julius-Liebig-University Giessen since 2007.

In his 'habilitation'\, he reconstructed the central role of editorial fiction in German literature 'around 1800' (published by the Fink Verlag under the title: Die Geburt des Autors aus dem Geist der Herausgeberfiktion.

Editorial framing in the novel around the year 1800: Wieland\, Goethe\, Brentano\, Jean Paul and E.T.A. Hoffmann]. His current research interest is the model of grafting as a model for intercultural relationships as well as a metaphor of inscription and quotation.

We will describe PAR\, its particular relevance to agroecology and food system work\, and its application in our educator training program Laboratorios para la Vida (LabVida). LabVida has been working for eight years to train educators to use school gardens and food systems as venues for inquiry-based learning linking local and academic knowledge. We applied PAR to development and analysis of our training program\, and invited participating educators to use PAR with their groups to explore and improve their food environments. PAR has proven to be an effective tool for generating small but significant changes in participants' narratives and practices.\n \nHelda Morales is from Guatemala City and went to college there.

These are cases where becoming more confident that things will go one way gives you evidence that they'll go the other way\; and vice versa. In these cases\, any belief you adopt undermines itself. I suggest that in such scenarios you should adopt imprecise probabilities. This connects to accounts for the liar paradox\, in particular a supervaluational version of Kripke's account of truth.

These may not only compete but also cooperate with each other\, describing phases with a common origin that are intertwined. Holographic techniques provide a theoretical laboratory to probe such strongly correlated systems\, offering a new window into their dynamics.\nIn this talk I will discuss a holographic model of a striped superconductor\, which provides a concrete realization of intertwined orders. I will also examine the formation and structure of Fermi surfaces in various holographic systems with broken translational invariance. In particular\, we will see that sufficiently strong lattice effects generically cause the Fermi surface to dissolve\, leaving behind disconnected segments. This segmentation process is reminiscent of the puzzling Fermi arc phenomenon observed in the high temperature superconductors.

From Rome\, the fifty-six year-old painter exerted his power over an “homme de couleur” and a black man by orchestrating a confrontation that left both men in ignorance of its ultimate purpose. Ingres’s sixteen year old student Théodore Chassériau\, was being told secretly to paint the celebrated black model Joseph\, famously placed at the apex of Géricault’s Raft of the Medusa. While refusing to share his intentions with either man\, Ingres confided to a friend that the subject was “Christ Chasing the Devil from the Mountain. As for the pupil\, he does not need to know this.” Locked behind closed doors and left in the dark as to Ingres’s plans\, two Creoles – painter and model - confronted one another\; the result of this encounter was Chassériau’s famous Étude de Nègre of 1838. This talk analyzes the picture and the circumstances of its making in light of France’s colonial history. \n\n\"The Hidden Mod in the New Art History: Another Origin Story\". \nThomas Crow\n\nSummary: the revival of art history as an intellectual discipline from about 1975 drew much of its strength from Parisian modern-life painting in the later 19th century. The story of how it got there contains an earlier and overlooked contribution that surprisingly arose from the rebellious youth culture of postwar London.\n\nFree and open to the public.

At the same time\, mountains host a substantial proportion of the world’s species and the long-term surface elevation history of orogens not only affects local (e.g. rainfall\, seasonality\, biodiversity) but also global climatic conditions e.g. through atmospheric teleconnections. Recovering the timing and rates of Earth’s surface processes\, therefore\, directly links to patterns of biomes and biodiversity at the interface of atmospheric and geodynamic processes. Here I present stable and clumped isotope approaches from the European Alps (Switzerland)\, the Anatolian plateau (Turkey) and the East African Rift System (Malawi) to identify the interactions of regional surface uplift and climate change on paleo-environmental conditions. Given the rapid technological advances in modeling and proxy approaches to determine paleoelevation as well as phylogenetic techniques in recovering the evolutionary history of mountainous species\, understanding the interactions among biodiversity and Earth surface processes will develop into a key opportunity for the geological and biological sciences.

As part of the Memory\, Urban Violence and Performance Project founded by Ford-Smith\, Vigil for Roxie draws on the memorial practices of working-class Black Jamaican women who have lost loved ones to gang and state violence over the past three decades. Shakes utilizes a womanist paradigm to explore the racial\, economic and gendered dimensions of memory\, healing and justice as depicted in Vigil. By representing experiences of gang and state violence through the bodies and voices of Black women\, Vigil challenges mainstream male-centered understandings of violence while creating a holistic vision of social justice involving the community\, nation and wider region of the Americas.\n\n \n\nBio\n\nNicosia Shakes is Assistant Professor in the Department of Africana Studies at The College of Wooster.

We can make our productions strongly\, even aggressively about our politics rather than Rome’s or early modern England’s. But one major area of Shakespeare marketing that Shakespeare cultural criticism has almost completely ignored is the film - and now also the theatre – trailer. Trailers are everywhere. No longer only in the movie theatre\, they fill our tvs and are all over the web.

In the first example\, she will propose how EEG connectomics coupled with manifold learning and dimensionality reduction may allow us to measure the ‘speed of thinking’ on a sub-second time scale. In the second example\, she will introduce her recent joint work with Dr. Melvin McInnis that seeks to unobtrusively turn smartphones into ‘stethoscopes’ of the brain\, in real time and in the wild. \n\n \n\nBio: Dr. Alex Leow is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry\, Bioengineering\, and Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and an attending physician at the University of Illinois Hospital. With Dr. Olu Ajilore\, Alex founded the Collaborative Neuroimaging Environment for Connectomics (CoNECt) at UIC. CoNECt is an inter-departmental research team devoted to the study of the human brain using multidisciplinary approaches of brain imaging\, non-invasive brain stimulation\, Big Data analytics\, virtual-reality immersive visualization\, and more recently mobile technologies.\n\nMost relevant to this talk\, Alex is honored to the project lead of the BiAffect project. BiAffect is the first scientific study that seeks to turn smartphones into “brain fitness trackers”\, by unobtrusively inferring neuropsychological functioning using entirely passively-collected typing kinematics metadata (i.e.\, not what you type but how you type it) from a smartphone’s virtual keyboard. The iOS BiAffect study app now powers the first-ever crowd-sourced research study to unobtrusively measure mood and cognition in real-time using iPhones and Apple’s ResearchKit framework. \n\nThe CoNECt team’s research has been extensively featured in the news\, including more recently in Chicago Tribune\, Chicago Tonight\, Forbes\, the Wall Street Journal\, the Associated Press news\, and the Rolling Stone.

Osborn Lecture\n\nAbstract: Laboratory thermonuclear fusion experiments with z-pinches\, tokamaks\, stellarators\, and mirror machines began in the early 1950’s\, but achieving the Holy Grail of energy breakeven has remained a Quixotic quest. The first laser was built in 1960 and by 1974\, KMS fusion in Ann Arbor reported the first thermonuclear neutrons from a laser-driven inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosion (Chroma laser: 0.8kJ). The optimism of producing net energy with modest lasers based on 1-D simulations with limited physics proved unfounded. In the succeeding 45 years\, a series of larger lasers has been built\, but NIF (1.8 MJ) @ LLNL has yet to achieve ignition. All the approaches in the NNSA ICF program\, laser indirect and direct drive\, as well as magnetic direct drive on Z at Sandia will require a major new facility to produce significant yield. Can modern computing models\, validated by new data on critical physics issues\, help cut the Gordian Knot and establish a credible path for a high yield facility? Until recently\, computational constraints limited the physical adequacy of our ICF design tools. In particular\, thermal conduction flux limiters are still used in direct and indirect drive laser ICF target design\, rather than accounting for the kinetic and non-local nature of electron heat transport. My 1978 dissertation on Fokker-Planck modeling was motivated by this problem\, but the development of practical models for use in 3-D rad-hydro codes is ongoing. Excitingly\, recent measurements on Omega of nonlocal heat flux in laser-produced coronal plasmas using a novel Thomson scattering technique [1] are finally providing the missing validation data for these models\, and Vlasov-Fokker-Planck simulations are in progress to determine the self-consistent electron distribution functions and heat flux. Improvements in this and related laser-plasma interaction models will provide a firmer foundation for future extrapolations. My talk concludes with a roadmap for achieving ignition and yield from direct drive ICF with excimer lasers.\n\nBio: Dr. Tom Mehlhorn\, heads the Plasma Physics Division at the Naval Research Laboratory where he oversees a broad spectrum of research\, including fusion\, pulsed power\, laser wakefield acceleration\, space plasmas\, and plasma processing. He has a B.S.\, M.S. and Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Michigan. Dr. Mehlhorn has received several scientific awards\, including the 2004 U of M Alumni Society Award in NERS. He is a Fellow of the APS Division of Plasma Physics\, the AAAS in Physics\, and the IEEE. He is an author on over 160 peer-reviewed papers.\n\nThis annual lecture series has been made possible by a generous endowment by MIT Professor Emeritus Sidney Yip\, a former student of Professor Osborn. These annual lectures are a tribute to Professor Osborn's unwavering dedication to education of students in fundamental science. It is the goal of these lectures to inspire future generations of students in nuclear theory and simulation.

Often\, functionally-relevant states are nearly isoenergetic (separated in energy by a few kT\, or less)\, meaning that at physiological temperatures\, multiple conformational states populate the ensemble. Using newly developed multiconformer models of X-ray crystallography data\, we have shown how population shifts can result from simple temperature perturbation. Our experience over multiple systems has demonstrated that temperature sensitive conformational states are the same ones used by evolution to create new functions\, by small molecules in creating new binding sites\, and by enzymes to transit through a catalytic cycle. Using an easily controllable physical perturbation (temperature) to predict the conformational response to physiological perturbations suggests the specific conformations to enforce at allosteric sites to achieve long-range control over protein activity.

Berkhofer Jr. Lecture: An Evening With Mary Kathryn Nagle DESCRIPTION:Native American Studies at the University of Michigan presents the 2019 Robert F. Berkhofer Jr. Lecture: An Evening With Mary Kathryn Nagle\n\"Native Theater in the 21st Century: Piercing the Invisibility and Restoring Our Humanity\"\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. There will be a catered reception to follow the lecture.\n\nMary Kathryn Nagle is an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation. She currently serves as the Executive Director of the Yale Indigenous Performing Arts Program. She is also a partner at Pipestem Law\, P.C.\, where she works to protect tribal sovereignty and the inherent right of Indian Nations to protect their women and children from domestic violence and sexual assault. Nagle has authored numerous briefs in federal appellate courts\, including the United States Supreme Court. Nagle studied theater and social justice at Georgetown University as an undergraduate student\, and received her J.D. from Tulane Law School where she graduated summe cum laude and received the John Minor Wisdom Award. She is a frequent speaker at law schools and symposia across the country. Her articles have been published in law review journals including the Harvard Journal of Law and Gender\, Yale Law Journal (online forum)\, Tulsa Law Review\, and Tulane Law Review\, among others.\n\nNagle is an alumn of the 2012 PUBLIC THEATER Emerging Writers Group\, where she developed her play “Manahatta” in PUBLIC STUDIO (May 2014). Productions include “Miss Lead” (Amerinda\, 59E59\, January 2014)\, and “Fairly Traceable” (Native Voices at the Autry\, March 2017)\, “Sovereignty” (Arena Stage)\, “Manahatta” (Oregon Shakespeare Festival)\, and Return to Niobrara (Rose Theater). In 2019\, Portland Center Stage will produce the world premiere of “Crossing Mnisose.”\n\nNagle has received commissions from Arena Stage (“Sovereignty”)\, the Rose Theater (“Return to Niobrara\,” Omaha\, Nebraska)\, Portland Center Stage (“Mnisose”)\, Denver Center for the Performing Arts\, Yale Repertory Theatre (“A Pipe for February”)\, and Round House Theater. \n\nThe Berkhofer Lecture series (named for a former U-M professor and founder of the field of Native American studies) was established in 2014 by an alumni gift from the Dan and Carmen Brenner family of Seattle\, Washington. In close consultation with the Brenners\, Native American Studies decided to create a public lecture series featuring prominent\, marquee speakers who would draw audiences from different communities (faculty and students\, Ann Arbor and Detroit\, and Michigan tribal communities as well as writers and readers of all persuasions). Native American students at U-M have consistently expressed their desire to make Native Americans more visible both on campus and off\, and we believe that this lecture takes a meaningful step in that direction. Additionally\, because of the statewide publicity it generates\, we think it is already becoming another recruitment incentive for Native American students. It goes without saying that the speakers we are inviting provide tremendous value to the mission and work of Native American Studies at U-M.

Indeed\, prior to receiving a full undergraduate education\, even aspiring nuclear engineers may only be aware of a few applications and opportunities in the nuclear field. However\, the applications of and opportunities within nuclear science and technology go much further than power generation. For example\, the medical field has benefited greatly from advances in nuclear science and technology with nuclear-enabled tools for imaging\, cancer treatments\, and sterilization. Irradiating food offers protection from harmful microorganisms without compromising the quality of food. Nuclear science and technology provides tools to law enforcement and national security personnel to help identify threats and protect our communities. Of course\, nuclear power generation is a major focus in education\, research\, and industry\; and the successes and advances in this area are not to be overlooked.Professionals working in the nuclear industry often require skills and expertise beyond strictly nuclear science. Modeling and simulation analysts must learn and maintain computer coding skills. The nuclear power industry needs professionals that understand regulations in order to meet their strict requirements for safety. Additionally\, the nuclear power industry is looking to those with an entrepreneurial spirit to bring new technologies to fruition that promise increased performance at a lower cost. The finances of nuclear power plants are unique in the energy production sector and require those with economic expertise to plan for the continued\, financially successful operation of nuclear power plants.VCU has chosen to focus on the broad nature of nuclear science and technology with the theme “Nuclear is ________________.” Under this theme\, the conference will explore the many opportunities accustomed to students within the nuclear science and technology realm. The theme will also encompass the many supportive activities\, technologies\, and experts in varied fields of nuclear science and technology. Obvious examples of the application of the theme include: “Nuclear is thermal-hydraulics.” or “Nuclear is neutronics.” or “Nuclear is nonproliferation.” Other\, less obvious applications of the theme include: “Nuclear is cyber security.” or “Nuclear is health.” or “Nuclear is advocacy.” or “Nuclear is economics.”In addition\, this theme allows VCU to explore the subtle and ubiquitous impacts of nuclear science and technology. For example: “Nuclear is making toast.” One out of every five pieces of bread used in making toast is toasted using electricity generated from nuclear power plants. Another example would be “Nuclear is fresh herbs and spices.” Almost every jar of dried herbs or spices sold in the U.S. has been irradiated to preserve its flavor and maintain longer shelf-lives. Demonstrating the successful and safe day-to-day use of nuclear science and technology represents an important nuclear advocacy tool that we will highlight throughout the conference.Additionally\, the exciting new technologies that hold much promise for the nuclear industry will be represented by “Nuclear is entrepreneurship.” and “Nuclear is innovation.” Innovations in reactor designs\, medical applications\, and security tools will require those with the imagination and the business skills capable of launching new products and/or companies that fulfill the promise of an improved world. In contrast with the ubiquitous and mundane\, successes in innovation and entrepreneurship represent the exciting and inspiring aspects of nuclear science and technology that will energize those students in attendance.

The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it\, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

On this shore\, we've learned most of what we know. Recently\, we've waded a little way out\, maybe ankle-deep\, and the water seems inviting.” Carl Sagan visualized our perspective on Earth as looking out to a vast ocean\, and with an international fleet of space-based and ground observatories now and soon to come\, we are poised more than ever to jump into the larger universe. The upcoming Solar Orbiter mission gives us a perfect example of how far we can go when we work together across traditional boundaries and realize that nothing in science is done in isolation. Understanding our own star leads to an increased awareness and appreciation of the Earth’s place in our solar system\, as well as the Sun’s influence on planets near and far\, all the way out to the boundary of our solar system. And our vision doesn’t stop there\; using our star as a template informs our view of other star systems and their worlds. What we learn now\, sitting on that shore\, will enrich our journey out into the endless cosmic sea.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

The book bridges a gap between storytelling and social science and moves deeper into a systematic understanding of 1994 Rwanda\, Rwanda itself\, and the complexity of understanding the diverse forms of political violence that happened alongside the genocide. \n \n --------------------------------------- \n\nEVENT SCHEDULE \n \n1:30 PM: Welcome and Introductions: Laura Beny\, associate director of the African Studies Center and Christian Davenport\, co-director of the International Institute's Conflict and Peace Initiative \n \n1:40-2:40 PM: Presentation by Christian Davenport and Darick Ritter on their book\, RW-94: Reflections on Rwanda \n \n2:40-3:40 PM: Public Round Table with Rwanda Research Scholars: Christian Davenport (professor of political science at University of Michigan)\, Cyanne Loyle (associate professor of political science at Indiana University)\, Jens Meierhenrich (associate professor of international relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science)\, and Luc Reydams (professor of law at Catholic University of Lublin and associate professor at the University of Notre Dame) \n \n3:40-5:00 PM: RW-94: Reflections on Rwanda Art Display and Reception\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, we are eager to help.

Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

He's equally—and tremendously on all counts—gifted as a singer\, writer\, and guitarist. Says the Irish Examiner: \"Peter Mulvey is one of the most accomplished guitarists you're ever likely to hear … utterly original … it is nigh on impossible to explain him to the uninitiated … his intelligent and sometimes complex songs engage both hemispheres of the listener's brain.\" Peter grew up in Milwaukee\, made his debut on the streets of Dublin\, and moved to Boston\, performing in subways and finally clubs. His latest album was produced by Ani DiFranco\, whom he befriended when she added a verse to his song \"Take Down Your Flag\,\" about the shootings at the AME Emanuel Church in Charleston\, South Carolina. \"I heard a young folksinger at a festival last summer sing a line about how our job is to sing the people through\, and I think that young man is right as rain\,\" Peter says. \"I’m doing my best.\" Peter returns from his MC slot at the 2019 Ann Arbor Folk Festival with a new album \"Fool's Errand\".

Like the original Blue Beard\, Heinrich Blaubart brings death to women he meets. Unlike the original Blue Beard\, though\, he doesn’t seek to do so\; in fact\, his fear of relationships makes him try to avoid women. This\, of course\, makes him all the more attractive to the women he encounters. On a deeper level\, the play suggests that everyone is searching for something different and for some acceptance. Perhaps one should take heed\, though\, of Maeterlinck’s warning that: “There is a Blue Beard room in everyone’s soul that should never be opened.” \n\nPresented in German by students enrolled in RCHums334: From the Page to the Stage. Surtitles will make it possible for even non-German speakers to follow the action on stage. Directed by Janet Hegman Shier. \n\nSaturday\, April 6 at 8 PM and Sunday matinée\, April 7 at 2 PM in the Keene Theater (lower level of East Quad). \n\nWe recommend a donation of $5 or non-perishable food items though no one will be turned away at the door. Proceeds go to SAFE HOUSE and Food Gatherers.\n\nAbout RC Deutsches Theater: Since 1985\, the focus of this RC course offering is on acting and on reading plays by contemporary German-speaking authors. We supertitle our plays. Audiences will note the resemblance to the way theater is performed in much of Europe with minimal (or sometimes no) set.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan\, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, and the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library. \n\nThe continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment\, distribution\, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result\, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W.

Indeed\, prior to receiving a full undergraduate education\, even aspiring nuclear engineers may only be aware of a few applications and opportunities in the nuclear field. However\, the applications of and opportunities within nuclear science and technology go much further than power generation. For example\, the medical field has benefited greatly from advances in nuclear science and technology with nuclear-enabled tools for imaging\, cancer treatments\, and sterilization. Irradiating food offers protection from harmful microorganisms without compromising the quality of food. Nuclear science and technology provides tools to law enforcement and national security personnel to help identify threats and protect our communities. Of course\, nuclear power generation is a major focus in education\, research\, and industry\; and the successes and advances in this area are not to be overlooked.Professionals working in the nuclear industry often require skills and expertise beyond strictly nuclear science. Modeling and simulation analysts must learn and maintain computer coding skills. The nuclear power industry needs professionals that understand regulations in order to meet their strict requirements for safety. Additionally\, the nuclear power industry is looking to those with an entrepreneurial spirit to bring new technologies to fruition that promise increased performance at a lower cost. The finances of nuclear power plants are unique in the energy production sector and require those with economic expertise to plan for the continued\, financially successful operation of nuclear power plants.VCU has chosen to focus on the broad nature of nuclear science and technology with the theme “Nuclear is ________________.” Under this theme\, the conference will explore the many opportunities accustomed to students within the nuclear science and technology realm. The theme will also encompass the many supportive activities\, technologies\, and experts in varied fields of nuclear science and technology. Obvious examples of the application of the theme include: “Nuclear is thermal-hydraulics.” or “Nuclear is neutronics.” or “Nuclear is nonproliferation.” Other\, less obvious applications of the theme include: “Nuclear is cyber security.” or “Nuclear is health.” or “Nuclear is advocacy.” or “Nuclear is economics.”In addition\, this theme allows VCU to explore the subtle and ubiquitous impacts of nuclear science and technology. For example: “Nuclear is making toast.” One out of every five pieces of bread used in making toast is toasted using electricity generated from nuclear power plants. Another example would be “Nuclear is fresh herbs and spices.” Almost every jar of dried herbs or spices sold in the U.S. has been irradiated to preserve its flavor and maintain longer shelf-lives. Demonstrating the successful and safe day-to-day use of nuclear science and technology represents an important nuclear advocacy tool that we will highlight throughout the conference.Additionally\, the exciting new technologies that hold much promise for the nuclear industry will be represented by “Nuclear is entrepreneurship.” and “Nuclear is innovation.” Innovations in reactor designs\, medical applications\, and security tools will require those with the imagination and the business skills capable of launching new products and/or companies that fulfill the promise of an improved world. In contrast with the ubiquitous and mundane\, successes in innovation and entrepreneurship represent the exciting and inspiring aspects of nuclear science and technology that will energize those students in attendance.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

Casas’s new drama creates a mosaic of a city struggling to survive and present itself to the world by exploring its hidden stories and history. Guest stage director Dexter Singleton\, now based on the East Coast\, grew up in Detroit and has relatives in Flint\, bringing a local touch to the production. With many of the issues remaining unresolved four years out\, Flint serves as a platform for dialogue regarding the future of the city and its resilient residents\, as well as for other communities facing similar problems.

Like the original Blue Beard\, Heinrich Blaubart brings death to women he meets. Unlike the original Blue Beard\, though\, he doesn’t seek to do so\; in fact\, his fear of relationships makes him try to avoid women. This\, of course\, makes him all the more attractive to the women he encounters. On a deeper level\, the play suggests that everyone is searching for something different and for some acceptance. Perhaps one should take heed\, though\, of Maeterlinck’s warning that: “There is a Blue Beard room in everyone’s soul that should never be opened.” \n\nPresented in German by students enrolled in RCHums334: From the Page to the Stage. Surtitles will make it possible for even non-German speakers to follow the action on stage. Directed by Janet Hegman Shier. \n\nSaturday\, April 6 at 8 PM and Sunday matinée\, April 7 at 2 PM in the Keene Theater (lower level of East Quad). \n\nWe recommend a donation of $5 or non-perishable food items though no one will be turned away at the door. Proceeds go to SAFE HOUSE and Food Gatherers.\n\nAbout RC Deutsches Theater: Since 1985\, the focus of this RC course offering is on acting and on reading plays by contemporary German-speaking authors. We supertitle our plays. Audiences will note the resemblance to the way theater is performed in much of Europe with minimal (or sometimes no) set.

In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, the University of Michigan Library\, the University of Michigan Office for Research (UMOR)\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n\n  UID:60521-14903613@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60521 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Books,Library LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190407T120008 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T150000 SUMMARY:Other:2019 USAT Collegiate Club National Championships DESCRIPTION:Nationals in Tempe\, AZ.https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Triathlon/Events/National-Championships/2019/2019-Collegiate-Club-National-Championships UID:60624-15511453@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60624 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Tempe Beach Park, Tempe, Arizona CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190407T120009 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T130000 SUMMARY:Other:A team Tournament DESCRIPTION:The A team has a tournament at Northern Illinois University  UID:62654-15511474@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62654 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Northern Illinois University CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190407T060012 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T100000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:American Nuclear Society Student Conference DESCRIPTION:NUCLEAR IS ___________________________.#nuclearisThe word “nuclear” likely invokes a few specific mental images to the general public. Indeed\, prior to receiving a full undergraduate education\, even aspiring nuclear engineers may only be aware of a few applications and opportunities in the nuclear field. However\, the applications of and opportunities within nuclear science and technology go much further than power generation. For example\, the medical field has benefited greatly from advances in nuclear science and technology with nuclear-enabled tools for imaging\, cancer treatments\, and sterilization. Irradiating food offers protection from harmful microorganisms without compromising the quality of food. Nuclear science and technology provides tools to law enforcement and national security personnel to help identify threats and protect our communities. Of course\, nuclear power generation is a major focus in education\, research\, and industry\; and the successes and advances in this area are not to be overlooked.Professionals working in the nuclear industry often require skills and expertise beyond strictly nuclear science. Modeling and simulation analysts must learn and maintain computer coding skills. The nuclear power industry needs professionals that understand regulations in order to meet their strict requirements for safety. Additionally\, the nuclear power industry is looking to those with an entrepreneurial spirit to bring new technologies to fruition that promise increased performance at a lower cost. The finances of nuclear power plants are unique in the energy production sector and require those with economic expertise to plan for the continued\, financially successful operation of nuclear power plants.VCU has chosen to focus on the broad nature of nuclear science and technology with the theme “Nuclear is ________________.” Under this theme\, the conference will explore the many opportunities accustomed to students within the nuclear science and technology realm. The theme will also encompass the many supportive activities\, technologies\, and experts in varied fields of nuclear science and technology. Obvious examples of the application of the theme include: “Nuclear is thermal-hydraulics.” or “Nuclear is neutronics.” or “Nuclear is nonproliferation.” Other\, less obvious applications of the theme include: “Nuclear is cyber security.” or “Nuclear is health.” or “Nuclear is advocacy.” or “Nuclear is economics.”In addition\, this theme allows VCU to explore the subtle and ubiquitous impacts of nuclear science and technology. For example: “Nuclear is making toast.” One out of every five pieces of bread used in making toast is toasted using electricity generated from nuclear power plants. Another example would be “Nuclear is fresh herbs and spices.” Almost every jar of dried herbs or spices sold in the U.S. has been irradiated to preserve its flavor and maintain longer shelf-lives. Demonstrating the successful and safe day-to-day use of nuclear science and technology represents an important nuclear advocacy tool that we will highlight throughout the conference.Additionally\, the exciting new technologies that hold much promise for the nuclear industry will be represented by “Nuclear is entrepreneurship.” and “Nuclear is innovation.” Innovations in reactor designs\, medical applications\, and security tools will require those with the imagination and the business skills capable of launching new products and/or companies that fulfill the promise of an improved world. In contrast with the ubiquitous and mundane\, successes in innovation and entrepreneurship represent the exciting and inspiring aspects of nuclear science and technology that will energize those students in attendance.

Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm.

This study presents the first experimental test of coin flipping as a nudge to help resolve choice difficulty in the setting of charity giving. We conduct a field experiment in which potential donors were given the option of coin flipping to determine which of two similarly favourable charities to donate to. We find that the inclusion of the coin flipping option increases the donation rate by 20 percent. Laboratory experiments replicate the observed patterns and shed further light on the underlying psychological mechanism. More generally\, our results point to the power of coin flipping as a nudge when people must make difficult choices.

Empirical evidence has consistently revealed positive associations between having a clearer and more positive ERI and academic\, psychosocial\, and health outcomes (Rivas-Drake et al.\, 2014). Although relations between ERI and these outcomes have been investigated\, little is known about the mechanisms that can explain them.\n\nIn alignment with ecological development frameworks (e.g.\, Bronfenbrenner\, 1989)\, scholars have indicated that friends and school are important to the relation between ERI and adolescent outcomes (Rivas-Drake & Umaña-Taylor\, 2019). It is possible that youth with greater ERI resolution (i.e.\, the sense of clarity about the meaning of one’s ethnic-racial group membership) are likely to have greater social competencies and be friends with greater social competencies\, subsequently youth with greater social competencies and who are in networks of friends with greater social competences are more likely to feel that they belong in their school. The study that will be presented advances new knowledge regarding the role of social competencies as a mediating mechanism in the link between ERI resolution and students' school belonging.\n\nMichael Medina\n\nTitle: What’s in a friend? The role of friend group characteristics on the link \nbetween ethnic-racial identity and academic adjustment.\n\nAbstract:\nAdolescence is a time of significant ethnic-racial identity (ERI) development—the meaning ascribed to one’s ethnic-racial groups and how it is maintained over time. For youth of color\, this process has been found to be developmentally normative and linked to academic outcomes\, such as school belonging. Little is known\, however\, of the extent to which social contexts shape this relationship over time. This presentation examines the role of one such highly salient context\, school friend groups\, which serve as significant sources of socioemotional and academic support throughout adolescence. Projects drawing from two longitudinal school-based studies will be presented that consider the potential role of three distinct friend group characteristics: aggregate ERI beliefs\, ethnic-racial diversity\, and relationship quality. Results indicate a promotive role of particular friend group characteristics\, encouraging the consideration of youth’s developmental contexts in future research on positive ERI development and academic adjustment.

Excessively strong\, weak\, or otherwise improperly organized patterns of synchronous oscillatory activity may contribute to the generation of symptoms of different neurological and psychiatric diseases. However\, neuronal synchrony is frequently not perfect\, but rather exhibits intermittent dynamics. The same synchrony strength may be achieved with markedly different temporal patterns of activity. I will discuss methods to describe these phenomena and will present the application of this analysis to the neurophysiological data in healthy brain\, Parkinson’s disease\, and drug addiction disorders. I will finally discuss potential cellular mechanisms and functional advantages of some of the observed temporal patterning of neural synchrony.\n UID:59064-14677939@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59064 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190405T141325 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Flint Art Exhibition DESCRIPTION:The Flint Art Exhibition complements the Department of Theatre & Drama's production of Flint. \n\nThe exhibit will contain works from award-winning professional artists as well as art created by Flint youth and community members.

Jets form when a quark or gluon is produced in a scattering process\, and because of confinement\, these quarks and gluons nonperturbatively form a collimated spray of hadrons. While jets are one of the most frequently used objects in physics analyses at RHIC and the LHC\, it was only recently realized that the structure of jets can probe a wide variety of physics at collider facilities. In this talk I will discuss the breadth of physics that can be probed by studying the constituents of jets\, with a focus on recent results from the LHCb experiment. \n UID:62608-15410179@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62608 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190405T122406 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with CPS faculty Yuki Shiraito DESCRIPTION:Dr. Shiraito is excited to host a weekly Monday evening hackerspace from January 21 until April 22.

Race and Erasure: A People's History of the \"Normal\" Body DESCRIPTION:This talk explains how in the years after World War II\, science leaders at the US National Institutes of Health set and expanded a second system to supply healthy people for human experiment\, in addition to government-based arrangements to access people with restricted civil liberties. During the early 1950s\, NIH aligned with private organizations from the major institutions of postwar America—religious groups\, labor unions\, universities\, and civic organizations—to sign “procurement contracts” that allowed the organizations to send their healthy members to the NIH to live as “normal control” subjects of science experiments. In the process the US produced the legal possibility—and the living reality—of an enduring\, large-scale civilian market for healthy human subjects. Yet this market for healthy humans had a distinctive feature. Because of the conventions of NIH research space and the demographics of the organizations with which the US government signed contracts\, the Normals had one common trait: they all were White. As a result\, the medical construct of “normalcy\,” though officially race blind\, was organized around White lives\, a legacy that continues to inflect medicine with race-based discrimination and disparities.\n\nBiosketch: Laura Stark is the author of Behind Closed Doors: IRBs and the Making of Ethical Research (Chicago\, 2012)\, and is completing a book project on the lives of “normal control” research subjects at the US National Institutes of Health.

On Marketing and Militarism: Demobilizing Guerrillas and Mobilizing Affect\, Colombia and Propaganda in the Early Twenty-First Century DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the principle arguments in Alexander Fattal’s new book “Guerrilla Marketing: Counterinsurgency and Capitalism in Colombia” (University of Chicago Press\, 2018) about the convergence of marketing and militarism in twenty-first century propaganda. The talk considers the Colombian government’s efforts to engage in a form of ‘brand warfare’ against members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the smaller guerrilla group\, the National Liberation Army (ELN). Since 2007\, the government has been working with the same advertising firm that stewards brands such as Mazda and RedBull in Colombia\, to lure guerrillas out of the insurgency and transform them into consumer citizens. The ethnography critiques those efforts\, pointing to problems that emerge when branding captures critical state functions\, like waging a war. \n \nDr. Alexander L. Fattal is Assistant Professor in the Department of Film-Video and Media Studies at Pennsylvania State University. He is also a documentary artist whose creative and scholarly work focuses on the mediation of the Colombian armed conflict. \n@FattAlx | www.alexfattal.net UID:62831-15477383@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62831 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Latin America,Lecture,Social Sciences LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 555 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190315T185932 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T210000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:No COP-Out: The Path HoMe from the U.N.

The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it\, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world.

Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Dominant males exhibit the brightest chest patches\, suggesting this signal may function as a sexually selected handicap signal to ward off potential male competitors. However\, little is known about the mechanism linking color intensity to male quality or the potential physiological costs to maintaining chest redness. In most systems\, testosterone links signal intensity and the quality of the signaler as testosterone is metabolically costly and prevents low quality males from falsely signaling high quality. Despite a large sample size of chest patch photos and hormone samples\, our research group has been unable to find a link between fecal testosterone levels and chest color in geladas. Here\, I investigate the potential driving mechanisms and associated costs of chest patch coloration in a group of habituated geladas living in the Simien Mountains National Park\, Ethiopia.

Brauer Faculty Fellow Ava Purkiss gives a 30-minute talk followed by Q & A.\n\n In 1959\, black fashion and marketing expert Elsie Archer published Let’s Face It: A Guide to Good Grooming for Negro Girls in which she offered health and beauty advice to young black women. Before suggesting diet plans and exercise programs\, she asked her readers: “How did you get fat anyway?” Archer added that avoiding fatness through diet and exercise would enable young black women to discover their feminine charms\, enhance their appearances\, and achieve a body that will “fit in.” My talk will examine how black women like Archer used nutrition advice\, diet and exercise promotion\, and fat shaming tactics to literally shape the fit black female body in the mid-twentieth century.

The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

For David Clement Scott\, the most visionary amongst them\, Rhodes epitomised the wrong turn that race relations would take when the territory was declared a Protectorate in 1891. Scott’s vision was of an Africa in which different races worked for the common good – “not side by side but as one”. From language learning to land tenure\, the approach he advocated was no idealism detached from practical initiatives. It involved as much status reversal between white and black as it did hierarchical forbearance. By attending to some of Scott’s short-lived innovations\, I ask whether the intervening century has made such decolonial thought all but impossible to comprehend in its own terms. What is the prospect of recovering de-racialized humanity\, even if in a Christian key\, as the critical concept in decolonial thought?

Dr. Barense has been trained in animal neuroscience\, human neuropsychology\, fMRI\, and cognitive psychology and enjoys bringing these approaches together to study the neural underpinnings of memory.\n\nPresentation Title: Understanding memory disorders: At the level of cognitive process representational content?\n\nAbstract: \n\nHow does perception of an object relate to subsequent memory for that object? A central assumption in most modern theories of memory is that memory and perception are functionally and anatomically segregated. For example\, amnesia resulting from medial temporal lobe (MTL) lesions is traditionally considered to be a selective deficit in long-term declarative memory with no effect on perceptual processes. This view is consistent with a popular paradigm in cognitive neuroscience\, in which the brain is understood in terms of a modular organization of function based on cognitive process. The work I will present offers a new perspective. Guided by computational modelling complemented with neuropsychology and neuroimaging\, I will provide support for the notion that memory and perception are inextricably intertwined throughout the MTL\, relying on shared neural representations and computational mechanisms. I will then describe how this new framework can improve basic understanding of cognitive impairments observed in Alzheimer’s disease\, as well as guide development of new diagnostic procedures for those at risk for dementia.

Post-biblical sources tend either to magnify or diminish the severity of the king’s error. This paper will study how Jeroboam’s image was shaped through forces of intra- and inter-religious polemic and served as a focal point for contemplating issues of Jewish orthodoxy and heterodoxy as well as the nature and boundaries of idolatry.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

These factors present\nutilities with the urban water cycle trilemma: investing capital to maintain or expand infrastructure\, doing business as usual to maintain its level of service\, and doing all this affordably.\nThis talk will show how utilities are using machine learning and internet of things to solve the urban water cycle trilemma by disrupting the status quo. Data intensive solutions are being used to adapt water infrastructure in real time to provide citizens with higher levels of service while reducing energy and chemical consumption in treatment plants\, reducing storm related flooding and overflows\, and increasing drinking water quality.\n\nLuis is the CTO and President of EmNet.

With immigrant agency at the center of its analysis\, this book asks why foreign residents make the political choices they do as they become permanent members of their receiving societies. Based on over 150 in-depth interviews with immigrants\, pro-immigrant activists\, and government officials and 28 focus groups with the major foreign resident groups in each country conducted in the greater Tokyo\, Seoul\, and Taipei metropolitan areas from 2009 to 2013\, this book prioritizes the role played by civil society actors—including migrants themselves—in giving voice to migrant interests\, mobilizing migrant actors\, and shaping public debate and policy on immigration. Departing from the dominant scholarship on immigrant incorporation that focuses on national cultures or traditions\, domestic political elites\, and international norms\, I argue that civil society actors drew on existing ideas\, networks\, and strategies previously applied to incorporate historically marginalized groups\, or what I call civic legacies\, to confront the challenges of immigrant incorporation. Rather than determining the paths available to later generations\, civic legacies form the opportunities and constraints that demarcate the rules of the game for migrant claims making\, thus framing the direction of immigrant incorporation\, the level of penetration in society\, and the potential for structural reform. As the first English-language book comparing three countries that represent a single model of immigrant incorporation in East Asia\, Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian Democracies proposes to shed insights into the gaps between policy intent\, interpretation\, and outcomes. \n \nErin Aeran Chung is the Charles D.

The interaction between humans and animals can affect the environment\, and vice versa. In the ancient Egyptian Nile Valley\, in addition to providing food\, transportation\, raw materials\, companionship and entertainment\, animals played a key role in religion. As such\, they inspired divine iconography and language\, and served both as manifestations as well as offerings to gods. Ultimately\, in the twilight of Egypt’s pharaonic history\, animals played a part in defining cultural identity and world-view. This talk will focus on a critical locus of this agency: animal mummies in ancient Egypt\, and what they tell us not only about Egyptian culture\, economy\, and human-animal relationships\, but also about Egypt’s changing environment.\n\nSalima Ikram is Distinguished University Professor of Egyptology at The American University in Cairo\, and has worked as an archaeologist in Turkey\, Sudan\, Greece and the United States.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan\, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, and the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library. \n\nThe continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment\, distribution\, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result\, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W.

Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

How the West Corrupts the East: Swedish Bribes and Uzbek Dictators DESCRIPTION:With a world record fine and the CEO now on trial in Sweden\, Europe’s fifth largest telecommunications provider\, Telia Company AB\, is slowly getting out from an expensive and morally corrupt endeavor in Uzbekistan. Award-winning Swedish journalist and 2019 Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan Fredrik Laurin presents Swedish Public Service TV’s exposure of international corruption. The lecture will address the effects of corruption in Central Asia and the role of U.S. legislation as the only working law against corruption.\n\nFredrik Laurin is editor of special projects for Swedish Television’s (SVT’s) Current Affairs program. Before this he was editor of the investigative department for Swedish Radio\, a reporter for SVT\, and investigative reporter for National TV 4. Laurin’s investigations exposed tax havens and tax evasion by the global corporate elite and corruption in the Swedish government and abroad. One such investigation exposed how purportedly alliance-free Sweden secretly cooperates with U.S. authorities in eavesdropping\, intelligence gathering\, extraordinary rendition\, and torture in the war on terror. He has received the Stora Journalistpriset\, the Swedish equivalent to the Pulitzer Prize\, and Guldspaden\, the Swedish Investigative Reporters and Editors award. He has received several other awards for his work\, including the Pulitzer Prize for his collaborative efforts on the Panama Papers with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. Laurin graduated from the Gothenburg School of Journalism and studied political science at Gothenburg University. Currently he is a Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

However\, in many countries\, including the United States\, the civil infrastructure is no longer within desired levels of performance. Decisions resilence- and sustainability regarding infrastructure systems should be supported by an integrated risky-based life-cycle multi-objective optimization framework by considering\, among other factors\, the likelihood of successful performance and the total expected cost accrued over the entire life-cycle. The primary objective of this lecture is to present a framework for risk-\, resilience- and sustainability-informed decision making for structural systems and networks in a life-cycle multi-objective optimization context. Risk-based performance metrics allow engineers to combine the probability of structural failure with the consequences corresponding to this event. The sustainability performance metric is established considering the risks associated with economic\, social\, and environmental impacts\, utility theory\, and the decision maker’s risk attitude. Applications include time-variant reliability\, risk\, resilience\, and sustainability of bridges\, bridge transportation networks\, and interdependent infrastructure systems under multi-hazards.

While these courses make up a significant portion of students’ engineering education\, they have received less research focus than design courses. In this talk we will present the beginnings of a framework capturing two overarching research questions: What should students learn in engineering science courses? And How should students learn in engineering science courses? We will then present two current research studies that each address these two questions. In the first we will describe the development of a coding scheme to characterize the degree to which instructors facilitate student sense-making in class and demonstrate how it is applied to question-initiated dialogue in two courses. In the second we will examine how students in one engineering science course solved and evaluated their answers for open-ended mathematical modeling problems.

Baer Lecture | The Neutron Lifetime Puzzle DESCRIPTION:Neutrons make up half of all matter but become unstable when freed from the nucleus. The precise value of the neutron lifetime plays an important role in nuclear and particle physics and cosmology. Professor Liu will describe the latest measurement\, which traps neutrons by levitating neutrons with a large array of permanent magnets. The lifetime measured this way appears different than that measured with a beam of neutrons leading some to conjecture their disappearance into an undetectable state.

In this lecture\, he discusses shared use and communally owned resources known as the poromoboke and the blatant encroachment on the poromboke for building construction and garbage dumping. \n\nPoromboke is a Tamil word meaning shared-use and communally owned resources like bodies of water\, seashores and grazing lands. Today\, it has a negative connotation and is used to describe worthless people or places. This erosion in meaning is the result of a property-making agenda of the state that views open\, unbuilt and unbuildable spaces as wasteland. But poromboke commons are layered with multiple land uses\, cultures and economies. Far from being worthless\, poromboke spaces are the backbone of any economy\, and the basis for the planet's resilience. India is witnessing a wave of protests against land acquisition for infrastructure projects that prioritize built infrastructure over unbuilt and open spaces. Surviving climate change is a fight to prevent degrading land-use change\, and the re-orienting of values. The task then is a cultural one—of revalorizing the poromboke and changing our notions of value and worth with respect to places\, economies\, cultures and peoples.

This will take place in and around a 6.5 feet radius circle drawn on the floor of the library. Detroit Jit is an under-documented dance style invented in the 70’s in Detroit by the McGhee brothers. This dance form is one of the most unique aspects of cultural heritage to come from the Motor City. It is however little known outside Detroit and is not as elaborately documented and archived as other parts of the history that center on the negative. The living bodies of current Jit dancers are among the few archives we have of this dance form. The dance is a fast-paced lower body movement and is an original Detroit dance style developed around the same time with B-Boying and break dancing from New York and also the Chicago dance style. Detroit Jit however did not spread much outside the city of Detroit. Today it remains a unique aspect of Detroit resistance culture and its slowly growing in recognition. It is one of the many ways that reveal the human body(in this particular case the African American) as repository and a dynamic living archive of stories and histories that exist in less glorious ways in text-bound confines. Presenting Jit in real time is a specific way to interrogate the texto-centric complex on which most Western libraries construct a hierarchy of knowledge(s). Most current Institutions of knowledge still struggle with a colonial ethnographic\, script centered library model .This model is in danger of slowly fading into museum like insignificance. Using a particular type of a performing body to complement and challenge text is one way to ignite dialogue concerning the future of information presentation and the place of the somatic medium.”\n\nThis performance is presented as part of the exhibition Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library.

Cole shows how Muhammad came of age in an era of unparalleled violence. The religion Muhammad founded\, Islam\, spread widely during his lifetime\, relying on soft power instead of military might\, and sought armistices even when militarily attacked. Cole sheds light on this forgotten history\, reminding us that in the Qur'an\, the legacy of that spiritual message endures. \n\nWe will be providing free copies of the book to fifteen graduate students and researchers.

Professor Warneken argues that studies on the developmental emergence of reciprocal sharing behaviors can provide insight into its cognitive underpinnings. Professor Warneken will present data on children’s delay of gratification and future-directed thinking abilities and how they might be related to reciprocal sharing behaviors of different complexity. Professor Warneken concludes with some thoughts on how the study of psychological mechanism can explain similarities and differences in the cooperation of humans and other great apes.\n\nSpeaker bio: Professor Felix Warneken studies the origins of human social behavior\, with a focus on the development and evolution of cooperation and morality. He uses developmental and cross-cultural studies with children\, as well as comparative studies with nonhuman apes. He completed his Ph.D. and postdoctoral training at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig\, Germany\, was a faculty member at Harvard University and is now an Associate Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan\, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, and the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library. \n\nThe continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment\, distribution\, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result\, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W.
