We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728342@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190411T131708 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190412T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190412T180000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:LRCCS Conference | Understanding Media: New Perspectives on Ming–Qing Literature DESCRIPTION:The full two-day schedule is available here: https://ii.umich.edu/lrccs/news-events/events/conferences/understanding-media--new-perspectives-on-ming-qing-literature/schedule--understanding-media--new-perspectives-on-ming-qing-lit.html\n\nThis international conference examines the critical role of media in the making and remaking of Ming-Qing literature. Invited scholars will bring to light the supports and surfaces that shaped sensory experiences of the “literary.” Some panels will trace the lives of literary works from the oral to the analog to the digital\; others will consider how early modern readers understood what we now call “media.” Over the course of two days\, the conference proceeds from the early modern moment to rethink 21st-century understandings of “new” media.\n\nFriday\, April 12\, 2019\n9am–6pm\nMichigan Room at Michigan League\, 911 N.

The meaning of the past and threats to the future are hotly contested. Scientists simultaneously proclaim epochal ruptures and extrapolate present trends into the next millennium. New technologies promise to help us “be present” even as they stretch our attentions to the breaking point. The nature of time is of central importance to modern intellectual\, cultural\, and political life\, and STS is well-positioned to address how divergent temporalities structure our public and private lives\, environmental imaginaries\, and embodied experiences. Recent work on the sciences of prediction and forecasting\, the vital politics of science fiction\, and the Anthropocene suggest some of the many ways scholars of STS can and should intervene in broader debates that trouble the present moment.\n\nPanels: Experiencing Time\, Embodying Time\; Apocalyse Now?\; Scholarship NOW\; Is Ancient Science Studies an Anachronism?

This conformable\, stretchable\, self-healable and biodegradable material simultaneously collects signals from external stimuli that translate into information such as pressure\, pain\, and temperature. The development of electronic materials\, inspired by the complexity of this organ is a tremendous\, unrealized materials challenge. However\, the advent of organic-based electronic materials may offer a potential solution to this longstanding problem. In this talk\, I will describe the design of organic electronic materials to mimic skin functions. These new materials and new devices enabled arrange of new applications in medical devices\, robotics and wearable electronics.\n \n\n\n \nLecture 2: April 12\, 2019\, 9:00 am\nResearch Auditorium\, B10 Research Auditorium\n\nSkin-Inspired Electronic Material Design\n\nFuture electronics will take more important roles in people’s life. They need to allow more intimate contact with human beings to enable advanced health monitoring\, disease detection\, medical therapies\, and human-machine interfacing. However\, current electronics are rigid\, non-degradable and cannot self-repair\, while the human body is soft\, dynamic\, stretchable\, biodegradable and self-healing. Therefore\, it is critical to develop a new class of electronic materials that incorporate skin-like properties\, including stretchability for conformable integration\, minimal discomfort and suppressed invasive reactions\; self-healing for long-term durability under harsh mechanical conditions\; and biodegradability for reducing environmental impact and obviating the need for secondary device removal for medical implants. These demands have fueled the development of a new generation of electronic materials\, primarily comprised of polymers and polymer composites with both high electrical performance and skin-like properties\, and consequently led to a new paradigm of electronics\, termed “skin-inspired electronics”. In this talk\, I will discuss our general material design concepts to realize skin-like properties without compromising electronic properties. Such fundamental understandings will allow us to further develop skin-inspired materials to meet future requirements for various new applications.\n\nBIO\n\nZhenan Bao joined Stanford University in 2004.

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.

A real data example of an intervention for learning rotational skills in spatial reasoning is used to illustrate restricted latent class models for item responses\, known as cognitive diagnosis models\, that are coupled with transition models for learning. An array of possibilities are considered that include models with explanatory variables\, such as intervention and practice effects\, as well as more parsimonious first-order Markov models. In addition\, we consider a higher-order continuous variable that may be thought of as general learning ability. The value of response times in assessing learning is considered\, and the concept of fluency in which learned attributes are applied more and more easily is introduced. Extensions of the models that include parameters for the instructional value of individual items are given\, and MCMC methods for fitting the models are discussed along with results from numerical studies. An R package that includes the spatial reasoning dataset and tools for fitting learning models is reviewed and future directions and new possibilities for applying learning models in e-learning environments are discussed.

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.

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.

The story of Backyard Brains\, alternative academia and the Neurorevolution DESCRIPTION:More people have Ph.D.s than ever before\, and yet the amount of traditional academic jobs at universities hasn’t increased with the supply. For many\, the uncertainty of their academic careers can be overwhelming: often having to choose between leaving academia all together\, or waiting a very long time for a position to open up. But what if it didn’t have to be that way? In this talk\, Greg Gage argues for an alternate academic career—one where you can be a true academic outside of the university setting—by using entrepreneurship. You can perform original research\, publish papers and present at conferences outside of the hallowed halls of an institution: and grad students are the perfect fit. Here\, Gage will share how to take the ideas generated at school and turn them into a business. Now is a really great time to be an entrepreneur\, and Gage will show you how.

We identify a canonical class of mechanisms rich enough to replicate the payoffs of any equilibrium in a mechanism-selection game between an uninformed designer and a privately informed agent. A cornerstone of our methodology is the idea that a mechanism should encode not only the rules that determine the allocation\, but also the information the designer obtains from the interaction with the agent. Therefore\, how much the designer learns\, which is the key tension in design with limited commitment\, becomes an explicit part of the design. We show how this insight can be used to transform the designer’s problem into a constrained optimization one: To the usual truthtelling and participation constraints\, one must add the designer’s sequential rationality constraint.\n\nJonit with Vasiliki Skreta UID:58627-14520009@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 301 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190411T082632 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190412T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190412T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Afrofuturist Challenges to Humanism: The Fiction of Sharon Dodua Otoo DESCRIPTION:In her short story\, “Herr Gröttrup setzt sich hin\,” Sharon Otoo engages with the topic of posthumanism from an Afrofuturist perspective in this parody of an encounter between a German married couple at breakfast. Riffing on famous German comic Loriot’s sketch\, “The Breakfast Egg\,” which mocked the lack of communication between husbands and wives from the perspective of the husband\, Otoo’s story is a feminist re-reading of this scenario that strips the white man of his agency by granting agency to a breakfast egg that has refused to cook properly. In this story\, the posthumanist strategy of granting agency and reflection to non-human objects allows readers to consider who else in German history might have been treated similarly – Women? People of color? Queer folx? It is therefore fitting that the story ends with Herr Gröttrup’s interaction with his non-German maid\, a woman whose presence he was unaware of until then because her status as a woman\, a domestic worker and a non-German made her and her labor invisible to him. It is only on the day that he contemplates the possibility of the egg having agency that he is able to really see the others who populate his world.

The framework is consistent with the null result of LHC colored top partner searches while offering many alternative discovery channels. Depending on model details\, the phenomenology looks very different: either spectacular long-lived particle signals at colliders\, or a plethora of unusual cosmological and astrophysical signatures via the existence of a predictive hidden sector. I will examine the latter possibility\, and describe how the asymmetrically reheated Mirror Twin Higgs provides a predictive framework for a highly motivated and highly non-trivial interacting dark sector\, with correlated signals in the CMB\, Large Scale Structure\, and direct detection searches\, as well as higgs precision measurements at colliders. This provides a vivid example of the collider-cosmology complementarity\, and motivates a variety of new astrophysical searches\, including the search for X-ray point sources from Mirror Stars\, that are motivated by the hierarchy problem.

According a second view\, which I call \"quotienting\" (short for \"quotienting-out conventional content by hand\")\, theories may be equivalent even when we cannot state\, in an intrinsic or \"artifact-free\" way\, the content that the theories have in common. These two views are in a sense the extremes. The first view (which I accept) leads to uncomfortable conclusions about the kinds of questions that are genuine (e.g.\, whether negation and conjunction\, as opposed to negation and disjunction\, form the metaphysically correct basis for propositional logic). The second is dizzying\, but sheds light on various otherwise perplexing viewpoints in metaphysics\, philosophy of physics\, and philosophy of mathematics.

The framework is consistent with the null result of LHC colored top partner searches while offering many alternative discovery channels. Depending on model details\, the phenomenology looks very different: either spectacular long-lived particle signals at colliders\, or a plethora of unusual cosmological and astrophysical signatures via the existence of a predictive hidden sector. I will examine the latter possibility\, and describe how the asymmetrically reheated Mirror Twin Higgs provides a predictive framework for a highly motivated and highly non-trivial interacting dark sector\, with correlated signals in the CMB\, Large Scale Structure\, and direct detection searches\, as well as higgs precision measurements at colliders. This provides a vivid example of the collider-cosmology complementarity\, and motivates a variety of new astrophysical searches\, including the search for X-ray point sources from Mirror Stars\, that are motivated by the hierarchy problem.

The talk will focus on 3 examples. The first draws from our work on risks associated with the mining industry and highlights the significant spatial and temporal correlation or concentration of risk across global assets that may be owned by the same company. Implications for supply chains\, commodity markets and risk premiums are briefly discussed.The second example focuses on livestock mortality in Mongolia at a national scale that is determined by a combination of climatic factors. In this example\, I will introduce a stochastic simulator that can allow a characterization of the aggregate risk accounting for the spatial correlation of tail risk. An application to index insurance for the Government of Mongolia provides the context. The third example pertains to the securitization of financial risk for an energy utility in Uruguay\, where both the utility and the government face significant financial risk in the event of a drought disrupting hydropower production. A strategy for the simulation of the system\, and of a combination of financial instruments to select the optimal risk hedging strategy through an allocation to the different financial instruments is provided.\n\nDr. Upmanu Lall is the Director of the Columbia Water Center and the Alan and Carol Silberstein Professor of Engineering\, and the Chair of the Dept. of Earth & Environmental Engineering at Columbia University.

Conceiving of filmed space as a tensile relationship between a film’s onscreen space and its defining social spaces\, which together constitute a film’s visual appearance and its institutional materiality\, I look at the ways in which Bollywood’s backgrounds register India’s politico-economic transitions. The composition and appearance of a film’s backgrounds encode socio-economic histories of India’s transition from an era of economic protectionism to the current phase of privatization and the commodification of everyday life. Based on my interviews with professionals who work on producing Hindi cinema’s locations and backgrounds\, conducted in the months leading up to the national elections that put Narendra Modi in power in 2014\, this talk proposes a spatial film historiography to account for the complex spatialities of a media form and society\, when both are in transition.\n\nPriya Jaikumar is Associate Professor at the Division of Cinema and Media Studies in the School of Cinematic Arts\, University of Southern California. Her talk will draw on her forthcoming book\, Where Histories Reside: India as Filmed Space\, in production with Duke University Press.\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.

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.

This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today.

Instead of the usual dose of action and suspense one expects of this genre\, watching this dense 140-minute political drama unfold is like fumbling through a long tunnel that’s nonetheless worth it when the ray of light emerges at the end. Though nowhere near as crowd-pleasing as the recent espionage action-fantasy “Steel Rain\,” this well-crafted work deserves to be seen for its thorough account of intricate workings of secret service and political skullduggery.\" - Maggie Lee\, Variety \n \nCheck out Variety's full review: https://variety.com/2018/film/asia/the-spy-gone-north-gong-jak-review-1202808361/ \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.

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.

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 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.

One traces the development of contemporary Inuit art in the Canadian Arctic from the 1950s to the present. The other relates the fascinating story of the Power family’s important role in supporting and promoting Inuit art from the outset\, bringing public attention to its artistic strength and cultural importance. The Power family’s collection is unusual in its strong representation of early contemporary carvings\, incised drawings on ivory and antler\, soapstone sculptures\, and prints that evolved as Inuit artists developed their own artistic voices and responded creatively to their changing world. \n\nThis exhibition inaugurates the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

As a young man returning from a trip to New Orleans with a newfound interest in swing he co-founded the eclectic americana group Appleseed Collective\, with whom he has toured 150+ dates a year. Traveling all over the continental United States\, playing esteemed venues and festivals such as The Ark\, Sisters Folk Festival\, Wheatland\, Cervantes Ballroom\, Summercamp Music Festival\, Schuba’s\, and The Ann Arbor Folk Festival at Hill Auditorium\, he cut his teeth as a guitarist\, songwriter and band leader. Since slowing down his touring schedule in 2017 he began tirelessly studying and performing the music of his favorite guitar player: Django Reinhardt. Since then he has studied at various music camps with many of the genres heavy hitting players such as Angelo Debarre\, Sebastian Gineaux\, and Gonzalo Bergara\, and was even invited to back up Denis Chang at one of his concerts. Andrew currently plays throughout Michigan with his own project Djangophonique\, his band Appleseed Collective\, and his friends projects Third Coast Gypsy Jazz\, Smoking Dandies.

From Montenegro to the Red Carpet: A Life of Giving DESCRIPTION:Emina Cunmulaj Nazarian was born in Farmington Hills\, Michigan in 1984 to Albanian parents from Montenegro. She spent her childhood on a farm at the footstep of Montenegrin hills\, helping with chores\, earning good grades\, and participating in village life. Emina has fond memories of those years\, but what stands out to her was the fatalistic view of the plight of women\, which motivated her to follow an atypical path. At 15\, she was selected to represent Yugoslavia in a global modeling competition\, leading to a successful modeling career that included appearances in Vogue\, Elle\, Marie Claire\, and work for the fashion houses Chanel\, Jean-Paul Gaultier\, Valentino\, Gucci\, Dolce & Gabbana\, Giorgio Armani\, and Roberto Cavalli.\n\nBut Emina was destined to pursue philanthropy. From a young age\, she witnessed her mother’s generosity as the family harbored\, fed\, and dressed fugitives of war during the Balkan conflict in the ’90s. As a result\, Emina constantly seeks to promote humanitarian endeavors and organizations such as the Fundjavë Ndryshe\, which she discovered in the summer of 2017 on a trip to rural Albania. Her involvement intensified\, and in 2018 she helped secure food supplies\, wood burning stoves\, and new homes for needy families in Albania. Emina is currently the Chief Operating Officer of Fundjavë Ndryshe and is actively planning her next Albanian campaign this summer. Her talk will explore “the love that I give and share with those in need\,” the potential for a better life for many\, and how to channel our capacity for good to make the world a better place.

Seven buildings are recognized as National Historic Landmarks of modern architecture and numerous others are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.\n\nJ. Irwin Miller\, the head of Cummins Industries\, a company which designs and builds diesel engines\, and a fan of modern architecture\, felt that great architecture would not only enhance the community but also attract a highly qualified\, international workforce to live in soybean country 45 miles south of Indianapolis. \n\nIn the 1950’s the Cummins Foundation agreed to fund the design fees for public schools if they would select architects from a list that Miller had prepared. The architects listed were the leaders in their profession. The program was later expanded to other public and non-profit institutions. \n\nToday\, a collection of outstanding schools\, civic buildings\, and commercial structures are the lasting result of Miller’s vision.\n\nDeparting from Ann Arbor by a first class bus\, we will arrive in the community of West Baden\, IN.\, located in the vicinity of many mineral springs which attracted a large number of visitors and the development of a number of fine hotels and resorts. Outstanding among these is the West Baden Springs Hotel\, where we will be spending the first night. The hotel is known for its atrium\, covered with a 200 foot diameter dome. The hotel is a National Historic Landmark and we will have a guided tour of the facility prior to dinner in the Grand Colonnade.\n\nThe following morning we will return to the bus for a short drive to Columbus. The morning will include a guided bus tour of the architectural treasures of the city. We will pass by some 40 buildings and include an interior tour of some. \n\nAfter lunch in the downtown we will tour the Miller home and gardens. \n\nAfter checking into our hotel we will dine at the historic Upland Brewing Co. restaurant\, a recently renovated structure with its own very interesting history.\n\nThe following morning we will board the bus and return to Ann Arbor.\n\nThe price of the trip includes bus transportation\, hotel and gratuities.\n\nThis trip for those 50 and over will take place Monday through Wednesday\, May 20 through 23\, however you must register for the trip early and there are no refunds without replacements inside 30 days of trip departure.\n\nPlease see the OLLI Web Site for additional information.

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.

While personal meaning in life has been well studied as a correlate and predictor of many personal well-being outcomes\, it is unclear how relational meaning in life (i.e.\, the meaning in life that one has through their relationships with others) contributes to well-being\, especially to other relational/interpersonal well-being outcomes (e.g.\, family life satisfaction\, positive relationships\, quality of relationships). In this presentation I will share some of the findings from my dissertations studies. Study 1 sought to examine for the factor structure and reliability of the Relational Meaning in Life Questionnaire (RMLQ). Study 2 sought to examine for the role of the RMLQ in predicting well-being and adjustment outcomes\, above and beyond personal meaning in life. Finally\, Study 3 sought to further examine for the role of the RMLQ in predicting variance in other well-being and adjustment outcomes above and beyond social support. Findings\, implications\, and future directions will be discussed.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nBounded rationality is a frequently used construct in both psychology and economics that is generally meant represent the idea that human decisions often deviate from optimal decisions when the decision problem is narrowly and precisely defined\; however\, these decisions are brought into closer alignment when the problem is expanded to include the known constraints of human cognition\, such as the costs of mental effort and the feasibility of computing optimal solutions. In this paper\, I propose a general framework for bounded rationality in which actual thinking and deciding is compared to optimal thinking and deciding. More specifically\, actual learning and inference is compared to Bayesian updating\, actual attention and memory is compared to the full use of available information and rational inattention\, actual planning is compared to forward-looking cost/benefit analysis\, and actual preference and choice are compared to utility maximization. The basis of these comparisons is a set of ten empirical results from my own research. My general conclusions are that\, as humans\, (1) we are very good at selecting important information\, learning from past experience\, and similarity-based reasoning\, and (2) pretty good at verbal and non-verbal communication\, simple symbolic inference and predicting the very near future\, but (3) we are quite poor at complex problem solving and understanding the long-term consequences of our current actions.

Expectancy-Value Theory DESCRIPTION:Which occupation to pursue is one of the most consequential decisions people make\, and represents a key developmental task\, with long-term implications for job satisfaction\, job performance\, and psychological wellbeing. Accordingly\, it is important to understand the underlying developmental processes associated with either individual or group differences in occupational choices. Programmatic research grounded in Eccles’ et al. expectancy-value theory (EVT) was designed to contribute towards a better understanding of such choices. The theory’s basic premise is that individuals choose to engage in tasks and activities that have high value to them and at which they expect to succeed. For instance\, individuals who believe to be good at and expect to be successful in math\, and who value math as an academic subject\, should be more likely to pursue and attain math-intensive careers than individuals with less positive math self-perceptions. In addition\, EVT specifies four components of subjective task value (intrinsic interest\, utility\, attainment value\, and cost) and outlines a comprehensive set of their antecedents and consequences. I will present a set of studies\, in which we use EVT to longitudinally investigate the relations between adolescents’ math- and language arts-related expectancy/value beliefs and career aspirations (reported at the end of high school)\, as well as pathways towards adult career attainment (reported about 15 years after high school). Furthermore\, I will focus on potential gender differences in academic self-perceptions and career trajectories\, in particular in math-intensive fields. Finally\, drawing on both EVT and the Dimensional Comparison Theory (DCT) we will examine potential negative cross-domain influences in the prediction of individual career trajectories. For instance\, prior evidence suggests that individuals with high math and high verbal abilities are less likely to attain math-intensive careers than individuals with high math\, but only moderate verbal abilities\; and actual and perceived verbal ability and academic values negatively predict math-related career aspirations. Our research expands upon this evidence by examining analogous longitudinal cross-domain effects for both math- and language arts-related career outcomes.

Re-framing real-world questions as machine learning tasks requires not only adapting and extending models and algorithms to new or special cases but also sufficient breadth to know the right method for the right challenge. I’ll first outline how unsupervised\, supervised\, and reinforcement learning methods are increasingly used in human applications for description\, prediction\, and prescription\, respectively. I’ll then focus on the ‘prescriptive’ cases\, showing how methods from the reinforcement learning and causal inference literatures can be of direct impact in engineering\, business\, and decision-making more generally.\n\nBio: At Columbia\, Chris is a founding member of the executive committee of the Data Science Institute\, the Department of Systems Biology\, and is affiliated faculty in Statistics. He is a co-founder and co-organizer of hackNY (http://hackNY.org)\, a nonprofit which since 2010 has organized once a semester student hackathons and the hackNY Fellows Program\, a structured summer internship at NYC startups. Prior to joining the faculty at Columbia he was a Courant Instructor at NYU (1998-2001) and earned his PhD at Princeton University (1993-1998) in theoretical physics.

As NEC director\, Sperling was the President’s economic adviser responsible for coordinating economic policy and chairing policy meetings with the economic cabinet. The New York Times has called Sperling \"a prolific idea generator.\" Under President Obama\, he served as a key negotiator on fiscal issues and an architect of the payroll tax cut\, expansions of tax credits for low-income Americans\, the Small Business Jobs Act and the American Jobs Act. Under President Clinton\, Sperling was a key architect of the 1993 Deficit Reduction Act and its major expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit and a top negotiator of the 1997 Bipartisan Balanced Budget Act\, He also served as senior counselor to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner\, where he helped navigate the financial crisis and was a member of the President’s Auto Task Force and the Treasury’s point person for the Affordable Care Act (ACA). \n\nCurrently\, Sperling heads Sperling Economic Strategies and writes as a contributing editor for The Atlantic.

From 2.4E21 protons on target in neutrino and antineutrino mode\, a total electron-neutrino charged-current quasi-elastic excess of 460.5 +- 99.0 events (4.7 sigma) is observed in the neutrino energy range from 200-1250 MeV. If interpreted in a standard two-neutrino oscillation model\, the best oscillation fit to the excess has a probability of 21.1%\, while the background-only fit has a chisquare probability of 6E-7 relative to the best fit. The MiniBooNE data are consistent in energy and magnitude with the excess of events reported by the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND)\, and the significance of the combined LSND and MiniBooNE excesses is 6 sigma. All of the major backgrounds are constrained by in-situ event measurements\, so non-oscillation explanations would need to invoke new anomalous background processes.\n\n UID:62110-15293421@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62110 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190405T122406 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190415T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190415T180000 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.

He hopes that participants will actively help each other where able. His goal is to create a productive and inclusive community for hackers to share expertise\, assist each other in data-intensive projects\, and enjoy peer-programming opportunities. Dr. Shiraito looks forward to hacking with you.\n\nThe goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate\, hackers need to bring their own laptops and\, ideally\, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

Politics Goes Pear Shaped. Old Regime Cultures and Revolutionary Politics\, ca. 1792-1825 DESCRIPTION:Can the story of a pear help us understand the rise of democracy in the West? This talk uses the career of Louis-Augustin Bosc\, a French revolutionary and botanist—and namesake of the familiar pear—to explore the ambiguous political legacy of the Atlantic revolutions. The talk argues that revolutionary movements in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were united not just by a set of similar political structures and ideologies but by their reliance on a matrix of old regime\, eighteenth-century cultural practices. These old regime practices left a common and illiberal stamp on the polities and political traditions that they helped to create. \n \nNathan Perl-Rosenthal is a historian of the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Atlantic world. He focuses on the political and cultural history of Europe and the Americas in the age of revolution\, with particular attention to the transnational influences that shaped modern national politics. He received his PhD in history from Columbia University in 2011\, with a dissertation on epistolarity and revolutionary organizing\, and then in 2015 published a first book on a different topic: \"Citizen Sailors: Becoming American in the Age of Revolution\" (Belknap/Harvard). His current book project is a wide-angle cultural history of the Atlantic age of revolutions\, from the 1760s through the 1820s\, which rethinks the era’s role in creating modern democratic politics. Nathan also maintains interests in early modern legal history\; historical methods and historiography\; and histories of material culture. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

With social inequality reaching astronomical proportions\, the ruling elites are resurrecting all the political filth responsible for the worst crimes of the 20th century.\n\nIn Germany\, the scene of the holocaust and Hitler’s Nazi movement\, fascism is once again rearing its ugly head. A neo-Nazi party\, the Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD)\, is now the main opposition party with high-level support from within the state and academia. Building a mass movement capable of defeating fascism requires learning the lessons of history.\n\nThe lessons of the 1930s show that the fight against fascism requires the independent mobilization of the working class against the capitalist system. Learning these critical lessons is the only way to prevent the disaster of Nazism on an even greater scale today.\n\n* * *\nSpeaker: Christoph Vandreier\, German Trotskyist\, prominent leader of the fight against fascism and author of “Why Are They Back? Historical Falsification\, Political Conspiracy\, and the Return of Fascism in Germany.”\n\nVandreier is Deputy National secretary of the Sozialistiche Gleichheitspartei (Socialist Equality Party\, SGP) in Germany\, which was placed under state surveillance on advise of the neo-Nazi AfD for its “anti-fascist” and “anti-capitalist” politics.

In response to the power of the white gaze against which African Americans have always struggled\, Baldwin launches in this novel a three-part framework of resistance. First\, the narrative exposes the deleterious effects of that gaze on African Americans through underscoring the state’s visible violence. Second\, it opens up spaces for the counter-gaze as a means of resistance to the state’s racist gaze\, even as it shows the limitations of the exclusive use of counter-gazing as a resistance strategy. Third\, Baldwin’s narrative also employs sound-based resistance to more effectively counteract the damage that the white gaze causes in the lives of his black characters. In this context\, I argue that Baldwin’s tripartite framework of resistance is effective\, as it does not privilege sight over sound and in so doing does not adopt the same gaze-based framework of the oppressor. On the contrary\, what If Beale demonstrates\, I show\, is how to reshape the contours of resistance\, engaging—wittingly or unwittingly—philosophical approaches that concern themselves with auditory and visual ways of knowing and resisting power\, which I call audision. While lending itself to the theoretical and thematic aspects of the novel\, this tripartite framework extends as well to the novel’s structure. Baldwin produces an art form that urges readers not only to read but also to listen\, a new novelistic form that opens up possibilities for multisensory resistance without (fore)closing them.\n\nPlease email Hayley O'Malley (hayleyom@umich.edu) or Joshua Miller (joshualm@umich.edu) if you are interested in receiving the paper\, which will be available on Monday\, April 8th. \n\nMahmoud Zidan is an assistant professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Jordan. His interests include African American literature during the Cold War\, postcolonial studies\, Palestinian literature\, native-speakerism\, and contemporary fiction.

Dr. Fariss uses computational methods and the statistical program R to study why governments around the world torture\, maim\, and kill individuals within their jurisdiction\, and the processes monitors use to observe and document these abuses. Other research projects cover a broad array of themes but share a focus on computationally intensive methods\, research design\, and the analysis of data at a massive scale. \n\nThis weekly meeting with Dr. Fariss is for those with an interest in the R statistical programming language. Both beginners and experienced users are invited to attend.

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.

And yet two-thirds of American adults cannot name a single living scientist\, and the gap continues to widen between the informed conclusions of scientists and public understanding. Political divisions increasingly dictate science’s role in public discourse as well as funding priorities. With many researchers lacking a command of effective communication strategies\, science often punches below its weight when it comes to influencing policy on vital issues such as climate change\, vaccinations and science education.\n\nIn this interactive talk\, science journalist Tom Clynes will present ways to harness the power of narrative to create compelling and influential stories that bridge the divide between scientists and the public. Emerging evidence-based communication strategies and a shifting media landscape have opened up new possibilities (and a few pitfalls too) that can empower researchers who seek a broader audience for discoveries that might otherwise languish in lecture halls and academic journals.\n\nTom Clynes is an award-winning author and photojournalist who travels the world covering science and environmental issues. His feature stories have appeared in National Geographic\, Nature\, The New York Times Magazine\, Nature\, Popular Science\, and Scientific American\, among other publications. \n\nTom is the author of three books\, including\, most recently\, The Boy Who Played With Fusion\, which tells the story of the 14-year-old who became the youngest person on Earth to build a working nuclear fusion reactor. He’s a Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellow and an International Reporting Project Fellow.

Nature\, 2001\; Pickens et al. TINS\, 2011). In these studies\, the rats were removed from their drug self-administration environment during extended periods of forced abstinence. More recently\, we have established a rat model in which we observe incubation of drug craving after extended periods of voluntary abstinence in the drug environment. Voluntary abstinence is achieved using a mutually exclusive discrete choice procedure in which food-sated male and female rats with prior extended history of intravenous methamphetamine or heroin self-administration can choose every day (20 trials per day) between the palatable food and the drug. In this lecture\, I will present our behavioral\, pharmacological\, and brain circuit characterization of incubation of drug craving after voluntary abstinence. I will also introduce a novel relapse model in which voluntary abstinence is achieved by providing the rats an alternative social reward. \n\n\n\nBiography: Yavin Shaham received his BS and MA from the Hebrew U\, Jerusalem\, and his PhD from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences\, Bethesda\, MD.

An organism that epitomizes both the urgency and challenges associated with this threat is carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). CRKP was first observed in a clinical case in 1996\, in a hospital in North Carolina. Since that time\, successful lineages of CRKP have spread across the globe\, becoming endemic in healthcare networks in many regions. This increasing prevalence of CRKP poses a great risk to hospitalized patients\, as crude mortality rates for CRKP infections can be upwards of 50 percent. Moreover\, the threat associated with CRKP continues to escalate\, with numerous reports of CRKP that are resistant to even last-line antibiotics\, leaving affected patients with limited treatment options.\n\nThe lack of effective treatments for CRKP infections places an even greater importance on prevention of CRKP transmission. A major hindrance to CRKP prevention is a lack of understanding of the patient factors and clinical practices that influence the risk of transmission. In this presentation I will discuss both published and ongoing work aimed at analyzing whole genome sequences of CRKP isolates from patients\, along with detailed data on clinical exposures and locations to understand the sites and drivers of transmission. Ultimately\, we hope this work will help us understand the drivers of CRKP transmission across regional healthcare networks and identify modifiable risk factors that can be targeted to help control the CRKP epidemic.

His work focuses on the use of cost-benefit analysis in administrative regulation\, federalism and environmental regulation\, design of liability regimes for environmental protection\, and positive political economy analysis of environmental regulation. His book Retaking Rationality: How Cost-Benefit Analysis Can Better Protect the Environment and Our Health (with Michael Livermore ’06\, 2008) contends that the economic analysis of law can be used to support a more protective approach to environmental and health policy. In 2008\, Revesz co-founded the Institute for Policy Integrity at NYU School of Law to advocate for regulatory reform before courts\, legislatures\, and agencies\, and to contribute original scholarly research in the environmental and health-and-safety areas. Revesz received a BS summa cum laude from Princeton University\, an MS in civil engineering from MIT\, and a JD from Yale Law School\, where he was editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal. After judicial clerkships with Chief Judge Wilfred Feinberg of the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and Justice Thurgood Marshall of the US Supreme Court\, Revesz joined the NYU School of Law faculty in 1985 and served as dean from 2002 to 2013. Revesz is the director of the American Law Institute\, the leading independent organization in the United States producing scholarly work to clarify\, modernize\, and otherwise improve the law.

DESCRIPTION:On April 27\, 2012\, Birame Abeid\, a renowned Mauritanian activist planned carefully and executed the public burning of several books of Islamic jurisprudence. Nearly two years later\,​ ​in December 2014\, Muhamed Mkhaitir\, a blogger claiming to speak for the community of “blacksmiths”\, published a lengthy text in which he accuses the Prophet Muhammad himself of “favoritism.\" Both offenders claimed afterwards they only wanted to denounce the ways in which the local elite has been consistently using Islam and Sharia to sanction the oppression/marginalization of former slaves and other occupational groups. In so doing\, these human rights activists have indeed thrown their country\, a self-proclaimed Islamic Republic\, into an uproar. As they no doubt must have expected\, their unprecedented religious offenses sparked nationwide protests. With few exceptions\, almost all political figures and religious elites campaigned for their execution for “apostasy” in accordance with the (Islamic) law of the land. Yet\, despite being promptly arrested and thrown in jail\, the two “defendants” were ultimately able to essentially get away with blasphemy. In this presentation\, I draw on a treasure trove of qualitative data collected on the field over several years in order to demonstrate that\, at least in this context\, what is at stake in these \"blasphemy controversies” has less to do with the usual tension between secular criticism and religious censure and more to do with ongoing public negotiations over what it means to be Muslims amid heated political debates over race\, gender\, social hierarchies\, belonging\, citizenship and inequality. Shifting the focus away from the usual framing of blasphemy accusations in terms of conflict between religious freedom and Islamic taboos\, I offer a detailed comparative account of these two “cases” in order to go beyond the notion that “outdated\, medieval blasphemy laws” illustrate the so-called stand-off between Islam and liberal democratic values.” \n\nZekeriah Ould Ahmed Salem is Associate Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University and Director of The Institute for the Study of Islamic Thought in Africa in the Program of African Studies. He specializes in Islam and Muslim Politics in Africa in comparative perspective. His research engages contemporary academic debates regarding religion and politics\, especially the interplay in contemporary African societies of a variety of issues such as: the state\, religious authority\, race\, social hierarchies\, identity politics\, Islamic knowledge and political power. Ahmed Salem secondary research interests include everyday negotiations over citizenship\, bureaucratization and the Institutionalization of the state in Africa. \n\nHe is the author of: Prêcher dans le Desert: Islam\, Politique et Changement Social en Mauritanie (published by Karthala\, Paris\, in 2013\, with an English translation forthcoming as Preaching in the Desert: Islam\, Politics and Social Change in Mauritania) and the editor of: Trajectoires d’un Etat-Frontière. Espaces\, Evolutions Politiqiues et Transformations Sociales en Mauritanie (Dakar\, Council for The Development of Social Research In Africa\, Book Series: 2004). \nHis research appeared in numerous book chapters.

Recently they emerged in the nonrelativistic condensed-matter setting as gapless quasiparticle states in some types of crystals. Notable examples of 2D systems include graphene and surface states in topological insulators such as Bi_2Se_3. Their 3D implementation is Dirac and Weyl semimetals. Most of the research has been focused on their topological properties and electron transport. However\, their optical properties are no less exciting. Optical phenomena provide valuable insight into the fascinating physics of these materials. Optical spectroscopy can provide a cleaner and more straightforward way of studying topological properties of electron states as compared to transport measurements. Moreover\, unusual optical properties of these materials can be utilized in future optoelectronic devices. I will discuss several examples illustrating these points. They include bulk and surface polaritons in Weyl semimetals\, magnetooptics of Dirac and Weyl semimetals\, and the nonlocal nonlinear optical response of graphene and topological insulators. \n UID:62977-15528488@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62977 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190107T155520 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T170000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Cross-Campus Transfer Info Sessions DESCRIPTION:If you are enrolled in another University of Michigan-Ann Arbor school or college and are interested in transferring to LSA\, you must attend a transferring to LSA information session.\n\nInfo sessions will be held in Angell Hall\, Room G243 at 4:00 p.m. on the following dates:\n\nMonday\, January 14\nTuesday\, January 22\nMonday\, February 11\nWednesday\, February 27\nTuesday\, March 19\nMonday\, April 1\nTuesday\, April 16\nWednesday\, April 24 UID:59248-14719641@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59248 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Undergraduate LOCATION:Angell Hall - G243 Angell Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190501T123007 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Internship Lab DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to start searching for a great internship?

Optimally\, this type of activity would provide them an entry point into the scientific practice of constructing and using models. But\, evidence shows that after participating in traditional approaches to general chemistry students tend to approach mathematical problem solving algorithmically and may struggle to connect mathematical representations to particulate-level ideas. The question becomes: How can we as instructors support students in more meaningful engagement with mathematical and other models in chemistry contexts? Here\, we discuss findings from our research into students’ reasoning about different types of models in the general chemistry sequence and discuss potential routes towards promoting more meaningful engagement in model-based reasoning and mathematical thinking.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nNicole Becker (University of Iowa) UID:62975-15528486@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62975 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1706 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190408T140859 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T190000 SUMMARY:Other:Dinner with...

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.

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.

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. Additional support for the artist's project is provided by the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office and the Penny W.

Despite access to 4 out of 5 Great Lakes\, the past few years have repeatedly demonstrated challenges in providing safe water to all current and future Michigan residents. These challenges have drawn the attention of policy makers and experts\, but a critical component of the discussion on improving water security must be the values and perspectives of impacted community members.\n\nJoin us on April 20th for a discussion between community member panelists and experts in various topics of water security\, as they discuss the challenges and opportunities that Washtenaw County faces in guaranteeing access to clean water for all of its residents and the steps policy makers should take to improve water security now and into the future.\n\nPlease register:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/washtenaw-county-consensus-conference-tickets-59903418738 UID:63212-15593437@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63212 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering,Discussion,Environment,Food,Free,Interdisciplinary,Networking,Politics,Public Policy,Science,Social,Social Impact,Student Org,Talk LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190327T143804 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Lunch provided. Please RSVP to help us order food: https://goo.gl/forms/yS61hwJmjn88emi13.\n\nPlease join us for a book talk by Rucker C. Johnson (MA '97 Econ\, PhD '02 Econ)\, Associate Professor & NBER\, University of California\, Berkeley & Goldman School of Public Policy.\n\nAbout the book:\n\nWe are frequently told that school integration was a social experiment doomed from the start. But as Rucker C. Johnson demonstrates in Children of the Dream\, it was\, in fact\, a spectacular achievement. Drawing on longitudinal studies going back to the 1960s\, he shows that students who attended integrated and well-funded schools were more successful in life than those who did not — and this held true for children of all races.\n\nYet as a society we have given up on integration. Since the high point of integration in 1988\, we have regressed and segregation again prevails. Contending that integrated\, well-funded schools are the primary engine of social mobility\, Children of the Dream offers a radical new take on social policy. It is essential reading in our divided times.\n\nFor more info\, visit https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/rucker-c-johnson/children-of-the-dream.\n\nAbout the author:\n\nRucker C. Johnson is an Associate Professor in the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and faculty research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. As a labor economist who specializes in the economics of education\, Johnson’s work considers the role of poverty and inequality in affecting life chances.\n\nJohnson was one of 35 scholars to receive the prestigious 2017 Andrew Carnegie Fellowship. His research has appeared in leading academic journals\, featured in mainstream media outlets\, and he has been invited to give policy briefings at the White House and on Capitol Hill. His forthcoming book\, Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works\, will be published by Basic Books & the Russell Sage Foundation Press in April 2019.\n\nJohnson is committed to advance his scholarly agenda of fusing insights from multiple disciplinary perspectives to improve our understanding of the causes\, consequences\, and remedies of inequality in this country. Johnson earned his Ph.D. in economics at the University of Michigan. At UC-Berkeley (2004-present)\, he teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in applied econometrics and topical courses in race\, poverty & inequality.\n\nHosted by the Gerald R.

To study this question\, we focus on in-vivo extracellular recordings and computational analyses of spike trains from up to 100 neurons from the hippocampus and cortex during activity and sleep\, combined with optogenetic and chemogenetic manipulations. In this talk\, I will discuss the distinct patterns that we see in these spike trains on multiple timescales and how they change during and across different brain network states. Because these activities are found in the hippocampus\, I will discuss their relationship to memory. Finally\, I will describe current efforts to evaluate the temporal structure in neuronal spike trains using unsupervised machine learning by hidden Markov models.

On the one hand\, weak interactions became inefficient and relic neutrinos decoupled from the cosmic plasma. And\, at the far end\, Big Bang Nucleosynthesis kicked off and the first light nuclei were formed. In between\, electrons and positrons annihilated into photons\, effectively reheating them with respect to the already decoupled neutrinos. The outcome of all these processes can affect the evolution of the Universe from that time until what we know today. In this talk I will focus on the decoupling process of relic neutrinos\, starting with the standard scenario in which we properly accounted for flavour oscillations. Then I will explain how the effective number of relativistic species\, also known as effective number of neutrinos (Neff) is modified assuming some non-standard scenarios. In this way\, comparing the standard value of Neff with present and future observations we can get some insight about physics beyond the Standard Model\, from the presence of non-standard interactions in the neutrino sector to the possibility of having an extra (sterile) neutrino species.

Time-optimal waypoint-following model predictive control (MPC) was inspired by missions such as fast-slewing imaging spacecraft\, which must capture as many ground images as possible before their orbit and the Earth's rotation move the target out of line of sight. In this work\, novel solution approaches to both problems are developed and simulations are presented to illustrate effectiveness in implementation.\n\nThe satellite problem is presented\, then a more general switched controller and estimator system is analyzed that activates one subsystem at the expense of the other. Conditions are derived to construct periodic switching sequences that guarantee eventual satisfaction of probabilistic state and error covariance chance constraints.\n\nThe time-optimal waypoint problem is described in detail and a Mixed-Integer Linear Program (MILP) solution approach proposed. The ability to handle multiple waypoints\, exclusion zones\, and flexible mode dynamics are demonstrated. As the time-optimal solutions are in general non-unique\, a secondary objective function is added. This secondary optimization problem is chosen to be convex\, and so yields a unique solution\, which also is shown to restore Lyapunov stability to the equilibrium.\n\nDissertation Committee:\n Co-Chair: Prof. Anouck Girard\n Co-Chair: Prof. Ilya Kolmanovsky\n Cognate: Prof. Anthony Bloch\n Member: Dr. Frederick Leve\n Member: Dr. Christopher Petersen UID:63149-15578801@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63149 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:aerospace engineering LOCATION:Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building - 1044 FXB McDivitt Conference Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180914T103922 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T160000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:German Lab DESCRIPTION:The German Lab is open Monday-Thursday 1-4 every week.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Over the past few years\, small non-coding RNAs (smRNAs) have emerged as major regulators of metastatic progression. While micro-RNAs were among the first characterized post-transcriptional regulators of metastasis\, we have now demonstrated that other annotated smRNAs\, such as tRNAs and tRNA fragments\, also impact metastatic progression. In their capacity as master regulators of gene expression\, smRNAs play a major role in development\, normal cell physiology\, and homeostasis. However\, they are often co-opted by cancer cells to help reprogram their gene expression landscape as the disease progresses. Our group has recently discovered a new class of small RNAs\, which we have named orphan non-coding RNAs or oncRNAs [Fish et al\, Nature Med 2018]\, that are largely undetected in normal cells and tissues and emerge as a consequence of cellular transformation. Because they were not previously annotated\, oncRNAs had gone unnoticed in prior studies by us and others that were instead focused on quantitative changes in the expression of common smRNA regulators\, such as miRNAs and tRNA fragments. These oncRNAs\, which we first identified in breast cancer\, provide a pool of new biomolecules with regulatory potential that can be subsequently adopted by tumor cells to carry out new oncogenic functions. We have demonstrated that breast cancer cells adopt a specific oncRNA (named T3p) to regulate the expression of two key promoters of metastasis. This finding demonstrates that oncRNAs can serve as potential building blocks for “cancer-emergent” regulatory pathways. We posit that oncRNA-mediated regulatory interactions add a new layer of complexity to gene regulation in cancers.\n\n3:30 pm to 4:00 pm - Light refreshments in Atrium Hall\, Palmer Commons\n4:00 pm to 5:00 pm - Lecture in Forum Hall\, Palmer Commons UID:62789-15466655@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62789 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Chemistry,Discussion,Free,Lecture,Medicine,Physics,Research,Science,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190417T181541 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Memory\, directed aging and Nature's greed\n DESCRIPTION:In a crystal with only one atom per unit cell\, all atoms play the same role in producing the solid's global response to external perturbations. Disordered materials are not similarly constrained and a new principle emerges: independence of bond-level response. This allows one to drive the system to different regimes of behavior by successively removing individual bonds. We can thus exploit disorder to achieve unique\, varied\, textured and tunable global response or long-range interactions inspired by allosteric behavior in proteins. While this approach is successful for systems with only a few degrees of freedom\, it is difficult to scale up the number of elements to be controlled or scale down the size of the individual components. However\, because a material has a memory of under what conditions it has been aged\, we can direct the aging using Nature's greedy algorithms to achieve a variety of mechanical functionalities.\n UID:62914-15494565@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62914 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190402T163659 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Fourth Annual DISC Distinguished Lecture. “More Perfect”: A Politics of Empathy in a Challenging American Moment DESCRIPTION:“We\, the People\, in order to form a more perfect union.” Those are the first eight words of the preamble of our Constitution\, the foundation of our system of government and politics. When I ran for Governor in Michigan\, I aimed to advance universal healthcare\, a sustainable energy system\, access to public goods and services\, and against corporate capture of our economy. And yet the focus was nearly always on my name\, my faith\, and my ethnicity—that I could be “first Muslim Governor.” In union halls\, living rooms\, and town watering holes across Michigan\, I had the opportunity to listen to and learn from Michiganders—as a millennial\, Muslim-American candidate. In this talk\, I reflect on the roles of identity and ideals in our current political moment. I argue for a politics of empathy\, that centers our actions on the systems of oppression\, rather than its symbols\, and embrace the responsibility to speak truth to power\, only after we’ve learned to empathize with pain. I center these in what it means to be “more perfect\,” advancing mutual aims from diverse perspectives in a pluralistic society. \n\nNamed “The new Obama” by The Guardian\, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is a physician and public health expert who ran to be the first Muslim-American governor of Michigan. His campaign excited Americans\, with his progressive focus on public health\, education\, diversity\, and dialogue. Before running for governor\, El-Sayed served as Health Commissioner in Detroit\, where he rebuilt Detroit’s Health Department after it had been privatized during the city’s municipal bankruptcy.\n\nPrior to his work in public service\, El-Sayed was tenure-track faculty member at Columbia University’s Department of Epidemiology\; director of the Columbia University Systems Science Program\, and co-director of Global Research for Population Health. El-Sayed holds a doctorate in public health from Oxford University\, where he was a Rhodes Scholar\, as well as an MD from Columbia University. He graduated with Highest Distinction and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Michigan. At graduation\, El-Sayed was selected to deliver the Student Commencement Address alongside President Clinton\, who said of him\, “I just wish every person in the world could have heard you speak today.” \n\nFor full bio\, visit http://myumi.ch/6k4q8.\n\nThe Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum (DISC) aims to provide students with global perspective on Islam and the Muslim world by coordinating an Islamic studies curriculum across the Big Ten via synchronous videoconferencing and distance learning technology. DISC is supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and housed at the U-M International Institute. The Annual DISC Distinguished Lecture features a prominent scholar or public figure speaking about issues related to Islamic studies. \n\nOrganized by the Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum (DISC)\, with support from the Global Islamic Studies Center\, Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar\, and International Institute.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to digital.islam@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Our broader aims are centered on utilizing these intermediates to deliver structural motifs that are commonly found in drugs and agrochemicals. This lecture will include recent findings that have enabled us to overcome inherent difficulties in aryl radical reactivity\, allowing for the development of highly chemoselective and switchable processes.

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.

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.

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.

UQ is essential in computational analysis since it predicts the range and the likelihood of possible model outcomes when some model parameters are not known as exact values. It is also usually the case that UQ is computationally intensive when the models are sophisticated\, and the random space can have high dimensionality as it often requires multiple model evaluations. The effort in developing UQ methods that requires fewer sample evaluations includes the development of adjoint-based methods and the design of efficient sampling schemes. However\, to apply these methods to specific models of interest\, users must have either specialty in the modeling of the responses or must adopt some assumptions on the distribution of the model responses prior to the analysis. Methods to effectively reduce the number of sample evaluations required while being able to extract the detailed distribution information of the responses of interest remains a critical challenge facing researchers in the UQ community.\nIn this thesis\, we propose a lasso regularization-based data-driven adaptive algorithm for finding a sparse solution of the generalized polynomial chaos expansion of a response of interest. The sparsity in the functional expansion solution determines the reduction in the dimensionality of the uncertainty space in the system that can be achieved. This makes it possible to effectively reduce the necessary number of sample evaluations without compromising the UQ analysis. The terms “data-driven” and “adaptive” mean that the sparsity in the provided solution is a model property that is inherent in the design of the algorithm. The algorithm automatically estimates the importance of the random parameters in the system and decides on the active set of orthogonal polynomials to use in the resulting expansion. Hence our method is very general\, and users do not have to adopt model-based assumptions or make intrusive modifications to their deterministic program in order to apply it. \n\nThe development of the algorithm was inspired by the high-dimensional and computationally expensive UQ problems that are encountered while modeling the TREAT reactor. In this application we developed the algorithm for the uncertainty quantification of the modeling of the transient tests that were previously performed with the TREAT reactor. Results show that our algorithm can effectively reduce the number of sample evaluations for high-dimensional UQ problems while providing functional expansion solutions that are stable and that can accurately predict a wide range of responses of interest.

In this talk\, I will describe recent progress in neutrino cosmology on three fronts. Firstly\, I will illustrate the wealth of information on the sum of the neutrino masses obtainable from current cosmological probes\, focusing on LSS data. Current upper limits begin favoring the normal neutrino mass ordering\, emphasizing the need to develop statistical tools for quantifying this preference. Next\, I will discuss galaxy bias as a limitation towards fully capitalizing on neutrino information hidden in LSS data\, proposing a method for calibrating the scale-dependent galaxy bias using CMB lensing-galaxy cross-correlations. Moreover\, in massive neutrino cosmologies the bias as usually defined is scale-dependent even on large scales: neglecting this effect will lead to incorrectly inferred parameters. Finally\, I will take on a different angle and discuss degeneracies between neutrinos and other cosmological parameters. I will show how in certain physically motivated dynamical dark energy models the neutrino mass upper limits tighten instead of broadening\, discussing implications for future laboratory determinations of the mass ordering. I will also discuss how neutrino unknowns affect constraints on inflationary models.\n UID:62978-15528489@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62978 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Randall Laboratory - 3246 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180914T103922 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190418T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190418T160000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:German Lab DESCRIPTION:The German Lab is open Monday-Thursday 1-4 every week.

My colleagues and I have arranged these different motives into a renovated version of Maslow’s classic pyramid. I’ll discuss some of the research that has been generated by this approach\, and also consider a big problem: Although these systems were designed to function adaptively in ancestral environments\, they are often mismatched to modern social ecologies. Indeed\, they make us easy prey for parasitic exploitation by modern technologies that promise immediate gratification\, but may have harmful long-term consequences. I’ll consider how Ben and Jerry’s chocolate-chip cookie-dough ice cream\, scary New York Times headlines on our cellphones\, Facebook\, Fortnite\, Ashley Madison\, and iPads for our toddlers each generate immense profits by parasitizing our fundamental motivational systems in different ways. I’ll also consider some possible psychological interventions to defend ourselves.

It includes a series of examples in which observations from the field and the laboratory were indispensable to support analyses leading to credible explanations of phenomena ranging from building collapses to basic resistance mechanisms in RC. Special attention is given to research addressing issues faced in the U.S. in the recent adoption of design provisions to allow the use of high strength steel (HSS) reinforcing bars (with yield stresses of up to 700 MPa) in buildings required to resist earthquake demands. The new provisions in the U.S. Building Code (ACI318-19) were motivated by industry and the need to reduce congestion and labor costs. The central questions in this process had to do with the plausible effects of the use of HSS reinforcement on both cyclic drift capacity and seismic drift demand of RC structures. In the case of drift capacity the main concerns included:\n1) effects of different stress-strain curves on the distribution of curvature along an element\,\n2) reduced ultimate elongation and toughness of high-strength steels\,\n3) redefinition of limits to amount of reinforcement. \nIn the case of drift demand the described research explored the plausible effects of reductions in reinforcement ratio and\, therefore\, post-cracking stiffness. The problem of drift demand is examined in reference to earthquake records that have been obtained in the last 20 years and challenge common preconceptions about the properties of ground motion.\nTo close\, a summary is presented to emphasize the importance of the use of data (observation) to support analysis and design in engineering\, and the audience is offered open resources to access large collections of field and laboratory data related to the seismic performance of RC structures. Examples of new research directions (related to structural resilience and repair) are also offered to elicit questions and discussion.\n\nMr. Pujol is a professor in the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University.

The MMS methodology has been applied to fixed source problems\, criticality eigenvalue problems\, as well as multiphysics problems coupling neutronics with other physics essential to reactor analysis. Theoretical predictions for the order of accuracy as a function of mesh spacing (spatial and angular meshes) are compared with numerical results with MMS. The coupling of spatial and angular errors obscured the convergence with the spatial mesh\, and a method for removing the angular error from the numerical solution was developed\, resulting in excellent agreement between theory and numerical results for the spatial order of accuracy. The application of MMS to the criticality eigenvalue problem yields an inhomogeneous eigenvalue problem\, which does not have a unique solution. This was addressed by adding a constraint to the application code eigenvalue solver. An alternative method for applying MMS to the criticality eigenvalue problem was developed\, based on modifying the fission cross section\, and this avoids the inhomogeneous eigenvalue problem. Both methods yielded numerical results for the order of accuracy that were in excellent agreement with theory. The MMS methodology was also applied to the C5G7 benchmark problem\, a seven-group small core with realistic geometry\, and the numerical solution reproduced the assumed MMS solution everywhere to within negligible error. \nThe findings and conclusions are that MMS is a powerful\, flexible and rigorous tool for reactor code verification\, which is an essential step in developing a complex scientific computing code. This study contributes to reactor analysis by quantifying and removing errors associated with certain numerical approximations\, revealing the rate of convergence with respect to the refined variable and providing a verification methodology for both reactor physics and coupled multiphysics applications.

The first part of this heating occurs at the planetary bow-shocks\, followed by additional heating at the magnetospheric boundary layers\, until reaching the highest temperatures inside the planetary magnetospheres. In-situ spacecraft observations have clearly demonstrated that the magnetosheath plasma has been strongly heated and significantly rarefied when it penetrates into the magnetosphere\, indicating that the heating process is nonadiabatic. Meanwhile\, the average temperature ratio between ions and electrons remains the same.. Exploring the detailed plasma acceleration\, heating and transport mechanisms with in-situ satellite measurements in space-plasma provides a better understanding of the nature of plasma and may therefore be helpful in development of new energy source (e.g.\, fusion energy). In this talk we discuss results from multiple space missions (e.g.\, Cluster\, THEMIS\, MMS) and numerical simulations and discuss the physical mechanisms that provide plasma transport and energization at the magnetospheric boundary layers: the magnetosheath\, the magnetopause\, the low and high-latitude boundary layers and cusps. Understanding why magnetosphere is so hot is helpful in understanding plasma heating in solar corona and other astrophysical systems where we don’t have multi-point in-situ measurements of plasmas.

Environmental income accounts for 28% of total household income\, 77% of which comes from natural forests. Environmental income shares are higher for low-income households\, but differences across income quintiles are less pronounced than previously thought. The poor rely more heavily on subsistence products such as wood fuels and wild foods\, and on products harvested from natural areas other than forests. In absolute terms environmental income is approximately five times higher in the highest income quintile\, compare to the two lowest quintiles. Analysis of the relationship between land tenure and environmental income will also be presented (Jagger et al. 2014). The main finding is that contrary to conventional wisdom\, community forests (when compared with state and privately owned forests) do not yield high forest incomes for the poor. Work in progress leveraging the PEN dataset to explore the relationship between forest and energy transitions (Jagger et al. ) will be discussed.

Ideally\, such predictions would enable us to better target ongoing surveillance\, and target research to understand when and why spillover infections are likely to occur. This seminar will give examples of predictive analyses that have been undertaken with the aid of machine learning algorithms\, which were trained to identify particular wild species that may be the most likely carriers for human infectious pathogens. These analyses have also generated hypotheses about why some species seem to be so much better at carrying zoonotic pathogens compared to others. Some new and ongoing projects will be discussed that expand process-agnostic ecoinformatic methods with existing theory of disease dynamics and life history to build predictive capacity in disease ecology.

Farmers\, lawmakers\, and philosophers in the early medieval West thought so. Pigs were smart enough\, and delinquent enough\, to make the process of domestication a two-way street. This talk explores the different ways that pigs made a dent in early medieval history\, while also thinking about what their human collaborators thought was important (or not) when it came to thinking and acting and making a difference.\n\nJamie Kreiner is an associate professor of history at the University of Georgia. She is a historian of the early Middle Ages whose research focuses on the mechanics of culture\, including how medieval communities themselves thought that knowledges and commitments were communicated\, adopted\, and affected by other forms of power. She's especially interested in the quieter forces that shape ethical systems—forces that were not always purposeful\, individual\, or human—and it's a thread that runs through her research on narrative\, social forms of cognition\, the interplay between science and religion\, and animals. She explores the status of pigs as subjects and objects in her new book\, Legions of Pigs\, which will appear in Fall 2020 with Yale University Press. Her research has been supported by several grants and fellowships\, including most recently a Mellon Fellowship for Assistant Professors at the Institute for Advanced Study\; and her publications have been awarded prizes from the Medieval Academy of America\, the Society for French Historical Studies\, and the Agricultural History Society.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

This technology has been demonstrated to be a key element in the design of\, e.g.\, modern antennas\, waveguiding/shaping devices\, etc..It has been playing a pivotal role in forging modern communication systems\, and therefore was\, is and will be greatly impacting peoples’ daily life. However\, despite of all these successes\, very recent experiments on the interaction of light (EM waves at optical frequencies) with deep-nanoscale metallic structures suggest the need of a paradigm shift in the classic CEM algorithms\, where a more refined material model is required. As the very first step in this direction\, we combine the dynamics of classical EM waves with the semi-classical hydrodynamic motion of free electrons in metals. The problem is formulated in the framework of Boundary Integral Equations (BIEs) and subsequently solved by the Method of Moments (MoM) algorithm. This research contributes to potentially bridging the computational gap between the classical macroscopic world and the quantum mechanical microscopic world\, and provides an essential tool for chemists and physicists to understand new physics in the nanoscopic world.\n\nGuy A. E. Vandenbosch is a Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Leuven\, Belgium. He received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from KU Leuven in 1985 and 1991\, respectively.\nHe was a research and teaching assistant from 1985 to 1991 with the Telecommunications and Microwaves section of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven\, where he worked on the modeling of microstrip antennas with the integral equation technique.

AD has become an urgent health problem putting a heavy economic and emotional burden in the society. Thus this disease has been top research priority in many countries. The etiology of AD is not well understood\, and the pathophysiology is complex involving different aberrant cellular and molecular mechanisms in the brain. Recent studies have demonstrated the important role of lipids\, lipid signaling pathways and cytoskeletal reorganization in modulating pivotal cellular\nprocesses\, physical property of membranes\, amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing\, neuroinflammation\, oxidative stress and apoptosis. These are crucial factors and pathways leading to the decline of cognitive functions in AD. This talk will address the roles of cell membrane phase properties\, membrane fluidity\, membrane mechanics in oxidative stress\, mitochondrial dysfunction\, APP processing\, altered cerebral endothelial functions\, and microglial-mediated amyloid-beta peptide clearance in AD. \n\n\nDr. James Lee is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering at University of Illinois at Chicago. He received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from University of California\, Berkeley in 1996\, and Ph.D. from University of Pennsylvania in 2000. Lee has established an interdisciplinary research program investigating the roles of membrane biophysics and cell mechanics in Neurodegenerative disease\, especially Alzheimer’s disease. His research has been funded by National Institutes of Health\, Alzheimer’s Association\, Missouri Spinal Cord Injury Research Program\, and Ministry of Education in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Lee received an Alzheimer’s Association New Investigator Award in 2006\, and was invited as a keynote speaker for the International Conference of Regenerative Medicine &\; Healthy Aging in 2012. He has reported his research findings in over 50 peer-reviewed articles\, including some published in well-respected journals\, such as Journal of Neuroscience\, Journal of Cell Science\, Molecular Neurobiology\, Journal of Neuroinflammation\, Macromolecules and Biotechnology and Bioengineering.

Estimates have reached as high as one million detainees. The Chinese government has framed these camps as schools that attack terrorist beliefs and give Uighurs the work and life skills necessary to thrive in a modern economy. It has received very little pressure or public condemnation from its Central Asian neighbors\, from Muslim countries\, or from its trading partners in the developed world. This human rights crisis raises questions central to the role and practice of diplomacy. What justification is there for bringing foreign diplomatic pressure to bear on issues that a country defines as central to its identity and existence? What do we know about the success of different types of advocacy\, whether through diplomatic channels\, pressure from international organizations\, or NGO-led protest?

Free to attend and open to all!\n\n--\n\nHilton Als began contributing to The New Yorker in 1989\, writing pieces for ‘The Talk of the Town\,’ he became a staff writer in 1994\, theatre critic in 2002\, and lead theater critic in 2012. Week after week\, he brings to the magazine a rigorous\, sharp\, and lyrical perspective on acting\, playwriting\, and directing. With his deep knowledge of the history of performance—not only in theatre but in dance\, music\, and visual art—he shows us how to view a production and how to place its director\, its author\, and its performers in the ongoing continuum of dramatic art. His reviews are not simply reviews\; they are provocative contributions to the discourse on theatre\, race\, class\, sexuality\, and identity in America.\n\nBefore coming to The New Yorker\, Als was a staff writer for the Village Voice and an editor-at-large at Vibe. Als edited the catalogue for the 1994-95 Whitney Museum of American Art exhibition “Black Male: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary American Art.” His first book\, The Women\, was published in 1996.

Cardinal\nMusic Direction by Catherine A. Walker\n\nSweeney Todd is a musical melodrama set in the 1840s based on an allegedly true tale. Released from prison for a crime he didn’t commit\, Sweeney vows revenge on the world for the loss of his family. With the assistance of his unhinged landlady Mrs. Lovett\, Sweeney reaps vengeance through his barbershop that is at once horrifying and exhilarating. Mrs. Lovett’s brilliant idea of how to deal with the aftermath of Todd’s handiwork makes her pie shop and the barber’s chair the most popular place in London. Will Sweeney’s obsession prevent him from recognizing a chance of salvation or will madness overwhelm all? \n\nOpening on Broadway in 1979\, Sweeney Todd was the second collaboration between Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler\, following their success with A Little Night Music. The show won eight Tony Awards\, including Best Musical\, Score\, and Book. Sweeney has been revived multiple times on Broadway\, adapted into a motion picture\, and is currently playing Off-Broadway in a new immersive production. Sondheim’s sublimely gruesome and funny musical features one of the most thrilling scores in musical theatre and includes such favorites as “A Little Priest” and “Not While I’m Around\,” along with the opening song “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd.” Attend the tale—if you dare!
