Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. 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. 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:59301-14728349@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:20190412T113303 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190419T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190419T113000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Robotics PhD Defense: Josh Mangelson DESCRIPTION:In manufacturing\, teams of robotics systems\, working in coordination with one another\, have led to dramatic increases in safety\, efficiency\, and profit. Collaborative teams of robotic vehicles working together in unstructured environments have the potential to yield similar gains in a variety of application areas including automatic inspection of underwater structures. However\, autonomous collaboration in real-world environments is significantly more difficult than in the factory. The main reason for this is because in an unstructured environment\, fundamental information such as the position of the robotic agent\, its relationship to other agents\, and a model of the robot's surroundings all have to be estimated by the robotic vehicle online\, while their estimation can be simplified or engineered out of the problem in a structured one. This is further complicated by the fact that in underwater environments\, failure of a navigation or perception algorithm that estimates the above quantities can result in significant damage or the loss of a vehicle. Moreover\, existing algorithms for navigation and mapping in unstructured environments\, tend to fail in the presence of outlier measurements\, when given a bad initialization\, or when using an inaccurate characterization of pose uncertainty.\n\nIn this thesis\, we propose four methods that bring us closer to robust and consistent multi-agent autonomous inspection. The first is a method for handling outlier measurements when merging maps generated by two agents collaboratively inspecting a structure. The proposed method uses graph theory to enforce that the selected set of measurements are consistent with one another resulting in more consistent maps than existing methods. The second is an initialization agnostic method for aligning robot trajectories based on low-dimensional data. The third is a way of formulating the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem as a convex polynomial optimization problem. This enables us to guarantee that the trajectory estimated by the robotic vehicle is the true solution to the posed optimization problem. Finally\, the fourth is method that uses Lie group theory and the Lie algebra to accurately characterize the uncertainty of jointly correlated poses. We evaluate the proposed methods and show that they outperform existing state-of-the-art algorithms.\n\nWe conclude with a discussion of \"reliable autonomy\" by describing a set of additional problems that need to be solved to enable reliable\, large-scale\, fully-autonomous\, multi-agent inspection of underwater structures.\n\nJoshua Mangelson is a Ph.D. Candidate in Robotics at the University of Michigan. His interests lie in the development of navigation\, mapping\, and perception algorithms that enable the design of reliable field robotic systems that can operate consistently in unstructured environments. He is especially interested in the development of large-scale multi-agent teams for autonomous inspection of underwater structures. He is the recipient of the IEEE ICRA Best Multi-Robot Paper Award and the IEEE OCEANS Best Poster Award both in 2018.

These studies also yield implications for subtle\, research-based strategies to reframe how students experience their socioeconomic contexts in order to increase academic motivation and engagement. Destin's talk will describe a series of studies that illustrates how information and messages about opportunity in society and overcoming challenges can be utilized to increase student motivation during adolescence. He will also describe studies that examine the effectiveness of leveraging other social agents in students’ lives\, like parents and near peers\, to convey motivating identity-based messages. Finally\, the research extends into higher education and reveals potential implications for broader notions of health\, well-being\, and public policy.

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.

The first half of this talk will focus on a new microscale additive manufacturing process\, known as microscale selective laser sintering (μ-SLS)\, that has been developed in the NDML for the fabrication of 3D electronic interconnect structures with micron scale resolutions. In this process\, a thin layer of nanoparticle ink is first spread onto the substrate. The substrate is then positioned under an optical subsystem using a custom built nanopositioning device. A laser that has been focused off a micromirror array is then used to sinter the nanoparticles together in a desired pattern with micrometer resolution. Another layer is then coated onto the substrate and the process is repeated to build up the 3D structure. Finally\, the unsintered nanoparticles are washed away to reveal the final 3D part. This talk will present the materials science\, mechatronic systems\, optics designs\, and process modeling used to make this additive manufacturing process capable of achieving micrometer resolution with high throughput (~63 mm3/h) over large areas (~ 50 mm x 50 mm).\n\nThe second half of this presentation will focus on two projects related to the manufacturing of high quality\, flexible electronics: (1) A new roll-to-roll metrology framework for the manufacturing of flexible electronics devices and (2) A new method to precisely exfoliate thin sheets of silicon from bulk silicon wafers. These two projects represent two different approaches to solving the challenge of producing flexible electronics that can compete on performance with conventionally manufactured electronics. The roll-to-roll metrology project tackles the problems currently present in the patterning of repeatable and uniform nanoscale structures on flexible substrates by enabling process control feedback in the roll-to-roll nanopatterning process. This is done by integrating compact\, MEMS-based\, single chip atomic force microscopes (sc-AFMs) with high scanning speeds directly into a new roll-to-roll metrology framework that greatly increases the throughput and modularity of direct\, nanometer-scale measurement on flexible substrates. The exfoliation project takes the opposite approach by taking electronic structures that have been fabricated on conventional silicon substrates and making them flexible by making the silicon layer extremely thin (<5μm). This processes uses a compressive nickel film to create a stress concentration below the top surface of the wafer and polymer film with controlled tension to propagate a crack along this stress concentration. The advantage of this process is that it allows us to cheaply take electronics that have been fabricated using traditional manufacturing processes on bulk silicon wafers and turn them into flexible electronics using just one additional processing step. The presentation will conclude with some thoughts on the future directions of next generation of electronic devices from a manufacturing prospective.\nBio\nDr. Cullinan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering the University of Texas at Austin.

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.

Do cells individual cells differ in their ability to reprogram? We address this using cellular barcoding based lineage tracing\, and demonstrate that reprogramming dynamics in large \"interacting\" populations are dominated by “elite” clones [1]. This work highlights the importance of cellular interactions and/or epigenetic heterogeneity in fate programming outcomes. In contrast\, tissue regeneration in animals exhibit neutral dynamics between the underlying population of stem cells [2]. Taken together\, we show that looking at cell fate transition from the lens of eco-evolutionary lens shed light on underlying biology. \n UID:63147-15578798@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63147 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190413T190721 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190419T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190419T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELED :: Roundtable and Q&A with Hilton Als and Aisha Sabatini Sloan DESCRIPTION:****This event has been canceled due to changing travel plans. We hope to see you at the 4/18 Hopwood Awards Ceremony instead (Thursday\, April 18\, 6:00 PM\, Rackham Auditorium).****\n\nPlease join us in the Hopwood Room for a discussion between essayists Hilton Als and Aisha Sabatini Sloan. This lunchtime event will be catered\; food will be available at 11:30\, and the discussion will start at noon.\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. Als is an associate professor of writing at Columbia University’s School of the Arts and has taught at Yale University\, Wesleyan\, and Smith College. He lives in New York City.\n\nAisha Sabatini Sloan was born and raised in Los Angeles. Her writing about race and current events is often coupled with analysis of art\, film and pop culture. She studied English Literature at Carleton College and went on to earn an MA in Cultural Studies and Studio Art from the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at NYU and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of Arizona. Her essay collection\, The Fluency of Light: Coming of Age in a Theater of Black and White was published by the University of Iowa Press in 2013. Her most recent essay collection\, Dreaming of Ramadi in Detroit\, was just chosen by Maggie Nelson as the winner of the 1913 Open Prose Contest and will be published in 2017.

In a typical fMRI experiment\, each subject is observed at several hundred time points. At each point\, the blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) response is measured at 100\,000 or more locations (voxels). Typically\, these responses are modeled treating each voxel separately\, and no rationale for interpreting associations as effects is given. Building on Sobel and Lindquist (2014)\, who used potential outcomes to define unit and average effects at each voxel and time point\, we define and estimate both “point” and “cumu- lated” effects for brain regions. Second\, we construct a multi-subject multi-voxel multi-run whole brain causal model with explicit param- eters for regions. We justify estimation using BOLD responses av- eraged over voxels within regions\, making feasible estimation for all regions simultaneously\, and facilitating inference about association between effects in different regions. We apply the model to a study of pain\, finding effects in standard pain regions\; we also observe more cerebellar activity than observed in previous studies using prevailing methods. We visualize results using whole-brain maps of effects and spatio-temporal correlation plots that illustrate temporally lagged re- lationships between brain regions.\nBy Michael E.

Defendants of the program argued that that it would increase the efficiency and effectiveness of US drone operations\, not least by enabling more accurate recognition of those who are the program’s legitimate targets and\, by implication\, sparing the lives of noncombatants. But this promise begs a more fundamental question: What relations of reciprocal familiarity does recognition presuppose? And in the absence of those relations\, what schemas of categorization inform our readings of the Other?\n\nThe focus of a growing body of scholarship\, this question haunts not only US military operations but an expanding array of technologies of social sorting. Understood as apparatuses of recognition (Barad 2007: 171)\, Project Maven and the US program of targeted killing are implicated in perpetuating the very architectures of enmity that they take as their necessitating conditions. I close with some thoughts on how we might interrupt the workings of these apparatuses\, in the service of wider movements for social justice.\n\nAbout the Speaker\nLucy Suchman is Professor of Anthropology of Science and Technology at Lancaster University in the UK. Her research interests within the field of feminist science and technology studies are focused on technological imaginaries and material practices of technology design\, particularly developments at the interface of bodies and machines. Dr. Suchman’s current research extends her longstanding critical engagement with the field of human-computer interaction to contemporary warfighting\, including the figurations that inform immersive simulations\, and problems of \"situational awareness\" in remotely-controlled weapon systems. Dr. Suchman is concerned with the question of whose bodies are incorporated into these systems\, how and with what consequences for social justice and the possibility for a less violent world.\n\nThis lecture is also part of the ETHICS AND POLITICS OF AI series.

Common health outcomes associated with this time period include: vasomotor symptoms\, osteoarthritis\, decreased bone mineral density\, and increased cardiovascular risks. Current research examines the biological mechanisms that regulate this transition. However\, further research is needed to determine the best methods for characterizing cyclic patterns of hormones in reproductive physiology.\n\nFitted representation of these hormones will contribute vital knowledge to the field of women’s health and wellness. This presentation will outline ongoing epidemiological analysis and elicit feedback on potential mechanisms\, dynamic modeling\, and parameterization of estradiol and follicle stimulating hormone across the menopause transition.

The number of behavioral health clinicians available to provide traditional face-to-face care is woefully inadequate to meet the growing need. Further\, a substantial proportion of patients treated under current healthcare systems do not get better. With evidence to meaningfully guide treatment decisions and objective measures of mental health both lacking\, the choice of treatment is often based on clinician preference and simple heuristics. \n\nMore than any other recent advance\, mobile technology has the potential to address the dual problems of limited clinical capacity and inadequate and untimely data. Mobile technology holds the potential to both track and intervene on mental health symptoms in powerful ways that had not previously been possible. However\, little is known about how to derive the greatest value from this technology by targeting patients most likely to benefit and by providing clinicians with the most useful information gleaned from the intensive data collection processes.\n\nBios:\nAmy S.B. Bohnert\, Ph.D.\, M.H.S. is a mental health services researcher with training in public health who focuses her research on epidemiology and brief interventions regarding substance use and related disorders. Within a team of collaborators at the University of Michigan and the Department of Veterans Affairs\, she has led a number of projects related to overdose and prescription drug safety.\n\nSrijan Sen\, M.D.\, Ph.D. is the Associate Chair for Research and Research Faculty Development and Frances and Kenneth Eisenberg Professor of Depression and Neurosciences. Dr. Sen’s research focuses on the interactions between genes and the environment and their effect on stress\, anxiety\, and depression. He also has a particular interest in medical education\, and leads a large multi-institution study that uses medical internship as a model of stress.

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.

While there has been an increased interest in the role of replication studies\, there also exists skepticism regarding the need for more replication. Our empirical analysis of 470 recent studies that use the term ‘replication’ suggests that this criticism stems from a lack of appreciation of the different forms that replication can take\, the prevalence (or lack thereof) of many of these forms\, and the objectives that are met by one of the least common forms\, constructive replication. As such\, the purposes of our paper are 1) to explore the different forms that constructive replication can take and the objectives at which each can be directed\, 2) to distinguish these forms from other forms of replication with which they are often confused\, 3) to determine how common each form of replication is in our field\, and 4) to provide concrete examples of different forms of constructiveness from published studies in order to pave the way towards more (and more useful) replications in the future.

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.

Many concepts like energy landscapes\, free energy\, and phase transitions can be usefully carried over from physics to machine learning and computer science. At the very least\, these techniques are a source of conjectures that have stimulated new work in probability\, combinatorics\, and theoretical computer science. At their best\, they offer strong intuitions about the structure of inference problems and possible algorithms for them.\n\nOne recent success of this interface is the discovery of a phase transition in community detection in sparse graphs. Analogous transitions exist in many other inference problems\, where our ability to find patterns in data jumps suddenly as a function of how noisy they are. I will discuss why and how this detectability transition occurs\, review what is known rigorously\, and present a number of open questions that cry out for proofs.

It disproportionately affects poor and rural communities in developing countries\, which also have high venomous snake diversity & the most limited medical expertise & access to antivenom. Antivenom can be life-saving when correctly administered but\, since many are monovalent\, their administration depends on the correct identification of the biting snake. Snake identification is challenging both due to snake diversity and the potentially incomplete or misleading information provided to clinicians by snakebite victims or bystanders. Clinicians do not necessarily have the knowledge or resources in herpetology to identify a snake from a carcass or photo. To reduce potentially erroneous and/or delayed healthcare actions\, we are building the first medical decision-support mobile app for snake identification based on artificial intelligence (AI) and remote collaborative expertise. AI has been used to help identify of birds\, plants\, and other organisms\, & our app will combine computer vision with the expertise from a global network of herpetologists to identify photos of snakes\, supporting victims & clinicians when urgent and reliable snake identification is needed. Our ultimate objective is to improve clinical management of snakebite in poor countries with high snakebite burden by supporting clinicians\, snakebite victims\, and laypeople in the identification of snakes. To do this\, we are building a massive global repository of photos of all snakes from museum collections (including VertNet & GBIF as well as digitized slides from historical archives)\, personal & researcher image collections\, open online biodiversity platforms (e.g. iNaturalist\, HerpMapper)\, books\, and social media (e.g. Facebook\, Twitter\, Flickr)\, updating global range maps for snakes\, develop a computer system based on machine learning and computer vision capable of identifying snakes taxonomically using photos and geolocation\, challenging communities of citizens & experts worldwide to identify snakes\, comparing the speed and accuracy of machine learning with that of citizen scientists & of experts\, and establishing an international working group of experts in snake identification to help validate images.

If the agents in prediction markets are Bayesians who share a common model and prior belief\, then the no-trade theorem implies that we should see no trade in the market. But if the agents in the market are not Bayesians who share a common model and prior belief\, then it is no longer obvious that the market outcome aggre-gates or conveys information. In this paper\, we examine a stylized prediction market comprised of Bayesian agents whose inferences are based on different models of the underlying environment. We explore a basic tension—the differences in models that give rise to the possi-bility of trade generally preclude the possibility of perfect information aggregation.\n\nJoint with Larry Samuelson UID:58628-14520010@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58628 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 301 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190415T103609 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190419T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190419T163000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Comp Lit Colloquium DESCRIPTION:Prof. Xiaobing Tang and Megan Berkobien will each present. \n\nMeg's presentation will be on her work Belaboring Translation: A Manifesto for the Emerging Translators Collective. \n\nProf. Xiaobing Tang's presentation is titled The Ocular Turn\, Misty Poetry\, and a Postrevolutionary Imagination: Rereading “The Answer” by Bei Dao.

In this paper\, I will argue that we find in W.E.B. Du Bois' 1940 book\, Dusk of Dawn\, the fascinating drama of one of history's greatest theorists of race experiencing and displaying the pull of both types of social constructionism. Focusing especially on the sixth and then the fifth chapters\, I will argue that this pulling in different directions is\, on the one hand\, meant to lead us to confront the complexity and mysteriousness of race but also\, on the other hand\, ultimately able to suggest to us the path toward properly balancing political and cultural dimensions in our theorization of race.\n\nSponsored by the Race\, Gender\, and Feminist Philosophy reading group (a Rackham interdisciplinary working group)\, the Philosophy Department\, and the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

This talk will present new work exploring this connection across scales of space and time\, seeking to address the general question of how life and Earth co-evolve. At the microbial scale\, lab experiments illuminate mechanisms of nutrient acquisition from minerals\, including how specific molecules and biofilms allow microbes to dissolve minerals and “feed” on them in the process. In tropical forests of the Amazon basin\, concentration-discharge relationships in small catchments provide hints about how ecosystems that tightly recycle nutrients may be “leaky” during storm events\, an effect provisionally attributed to the permeability structure of tropical soils that controls hydrological response. Lastly\, over the timescales of mass extinctions\, global biogeochemical modeling reveals how the evolution of marine calcifying organisms may have changed the way that the planet responds to global-scale carbon cycle perturbation\, perhaps providing one mechanism for explaining apparent correlations between large igneous provinces and mass extinctions. Considered together\, these distinct studies have commonality in terms of how organisms and ecosystems shape their relationship with the geological world around them.

Droughts\, floods\, eutrophication\, and poor manure management not only undermine the security of our food system\, but they also pose physical\, regulatory\, and reputational threats to the financial performance of the food industry. While many of these companies -- and their investors -- have demonstrated growing awareness of water stewardship as a business imperative\, others have stagnated\, failing to assess their exposure to water risks or set goals to source their commodities more sustainably. I examine how water risks have already had substantial financial impacts on the industry and highlight the efforts of institutional investors to motivate companies to address these risks. Through an analysis of past and forthcoming editions of Feeding Ourselves Thirsty -- a benchmarking of the water risk management efforts of over 40 food and beverage companies -- I review the strategies used by leading companies to enhance the resilience of their agricultural supply chains.\n\nJacob London is an Associate at Ceres\, a Boston-based non-profit organization advocating for sustainable investment\, business practices\, and public policy. As part of the Water & Agriculture program\, his work aims to mobilize food and beverage companies to address water risks in their agricultural supply chains. In this role he conducts research to improve investors' understanding of the financial risks associated with global water stress\, and supports shareholder engagements focused on water and agriculture. He is the co-author of the forthcoming edition of Feeding Ourselves Thirsty: How the Food Sector is Managing Global Water Risks\, due for release in September 2019.

Traditionally\, these highly approximate methods lack explicit\, rigorous terms for electrostatics\, polarization\, dispersion\, hydrogen bonds\, and other interactions\, and they often rely on pre-determined parameters to capture the a priori understanding of the structure. In order to address this deficiency and capture a more complete understanding of the structure\, we have developed a fully automated approach for macromolecular refinement based on a two layer\, QM/MM (ONIOM) scheme implemented within our DivCon Suite which has been \"plugged in\" to two mainstream crystallographic packages: PHENIX[1] and BUSTER. This implementation consists of one or more \"region layer(s)\" characterized using linear-scaling\, semi-empirical quantum mechanics\, coupled with a \"system layer\" encompassing the rest of the protein described with a molecular mechanics functional[2].\nArmed with a more accurate tool\, we not only gain a better understanding of overall protein:ligand structure\, but we can also use X-ray data to correctly determine active site tautomer/protomer states[3] and water site locations. \nIn this talk\, we will discuss these methods and explore their impact in the context of binding affinity prediction and structure-based drug discovery.

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!

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.

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. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

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 rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

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.

Completed in 1891\, Newberry Hall is one of the oldest buildings on the University of Michigan campus. Join us on a guided walk through this Richardsonian Romanesque building and learn about its architecture and fascinating history. \n\nThe highlight of the tour is an up-close view of the glorious Tiffany stained-glass window in the Kelsey Museum library. Julia Truettner\, U-M preservationist and building historian\, describes the window as follows: \n\n\"The Fox memorial window utilizes many kinds of glass\, including roundels and chunks or nuggets\, as well as plated layers\, to produce a range of colors from rich claret and deep sapphire to greens\, golds\, and lighter shades of pinks\, yellows\, and blues. The abstract design incorporates not only geometric forms but also floral and vegetable motifs\, such as the green pods around the perimeter and the petal-like forms at the bottom\, which embrace the panels naming the honorees. These forms\, plus the medallion at the top with its floral images surrounded by roundels\, hint at Tiffany's coming mastery of landscape\, figural\, and ecclesiastical designs.\" \n\nSpace on the tour is limited to 30 participants. Please register by emailing mullersm@umich.edu. \n\nSaturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance.

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!

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

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.

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 rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

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.

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!

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.

Many more will cope with negative life events such as trauma\, the death of a loved one\, divorce\, job loss\, and physical illness. Unfortunately\, research suggests that the current mental health care system in the United States (U.S.) is dramatically underutilized with only 43.1% of the 44.7 million Americans affected by mental illness receiving mental health care in the last year (NIMH\, 2017). Many people experience significant barriers that prevent them from accessing care. In order to address some of the barriers to mental health care\, researchers at the University of Michigan developed a novel intervention\, Mood Lifters. Mood Lifters is a peer-led\, low-cost\, evidence-based program designed to improve mental wellness\, decrease negative affect and increase positive affect. Mood Lifters weaves together the most effective biological\, psychological and social techniques\, based on the most recent research\, to provide strategies that people can use to make changes\, develop healthy habits and live the life they want. This talk will cover the development of the Mood Lifters program and the current scientific support for the program.

What neurobiological and contextual factors contribute to the development of selective attention in early childhood? In this talk\, I will explore these questions\, utilizing a multimethod approach that combines electroencephalography (EEG) with behavioral\, experimental\, and observational measures. In part 1\, I will share findings from studies in which I examined the brain functions supporting selective attention in early childhood in the context of socioeconomic adversity. These studies emphasize that there is notable variability in the neurodevelopment of selective attention in children from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds. In part 2\, I will discuss pilot data and future directions for research on how neighborhood\, household\, and classroom auditory environments contribute to the development of selective attention as children transition to formal schooling. In addition\, I will present my ongoing and planned work towards reproducible\, replicable\, and representative developmental EEG research\, in the context of neurodevelopment of selective attention specifically\, and for developmental research broadly.

The standard treatment of deep vein thrombosis involves using anticoagulants to stop clot progression but is only successful in 2/3 of patients because the composition of the clot changes over time. The standard diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis and determination of the age of the thrombus are based on the patient’s timeline of when these symptoms appeared. With use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)\, thrombus progression can be studied non-invasively from the acute to chronic stage. The aims of this work are to apply a Gaussian mixture model to multiparametric MRI of preclinical thrombi and determine whether spatial correlations exist with composition by histology.\n \nThrombosis was induced in 30 12-week-old mice divided into three groups and imaged at either acute\, sub-chronic\, or chronic time points. The multiparametric MRI volumes consisted of T1-\, T2-\, and T2*-weighted images. The MRI volume for each mouse was normalized\, and the thrombus was segmented. The T1\, T2\, and T2* intensities at each location were input into a Gaussian mixture model. Following image acquisition\, tissue samples were acquired and stained for Martius scarlet blue trichrome to examine red blood cell\, collagen\, and fibrin content in each thrombus. \n \nTo analyze each Gaussian mixture model region\, qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed by comparing the Gaussian mixture model results with the paired histology. 2D correlation values between the Gaussian mixture model tissue class and histological composition revealed that the first cluster class correlated with red blood cells (p < 0.05)\, and the second cluster class correlated with fibrin and collagen (p < 0.05). This study demonstrates that spatial correlations exist between the classification of multiparametric MRI data and corresponding histology. With the aforementioned methods and results from each study\, we are able to move one step closer with assisting healthcare providers in optimizing treatments for patients with deep vein thrombosis. \n\nChair: Joan Greve UID:63134-15578787@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63134 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical engineering,engineering,Graduate Students,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Research LOCATION:Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building - 1024 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190411T181551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190422T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190422T140000 SUMMARY:Ceremony / Service:Professional Development Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Celebration Ceremony DESCRIPTION:The Professional Development Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Certificate Program is proud to announce this year’s certificate recipients.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nA large privately-funded scholarship program randomized 'full-freight' financial aid awards to entering students at Nebraska's public colleges and universities. Scholarship awards increased four-year college attendance among recipients but had little effect on two-year or overall attendance. Awards granted to students targeting four-year colleges boosted six-year graduation rates by 8.5 percentage points\, with gains unevenly distributed\, ranging from a high of 15 - 20 points among minority program applicants and those with low ACT scores\, to zero for well-prepared program applicants. Roughly 92% of the scholarship aid went to students who would have graduated without scholarship aid. Average scholarship costs were $43\,000 per additional college year completed and $425\,000 per additional four-year degree obtained\, but this falls to $230\,000 for nonwhite students. Costs were high in part because scholarship awards lengthened time to degree among recipients. Nevertheless\, the bulk of scholarship expenditures reflect transfers from scholarship sponsors to scholarship recipients rather than incremental expenditures on post-secondary education.

Yet STEM workers are perceived to be in short supply. This paper shows that the \"STEM shortage\" phenomenon is explained by technological change\, which introduces new job skills and makes old ones obsolete. We find that the initially high economic return to applied STEM degrees declines by more than 50 percent in the first decade of working life. This coincides with a rapid exit of college graduates from STEM occupations. Using detailed job vacancy data\, we show that STEM jobs changed especially quickly over the last decade\, leading to flatter age-earnings profiles as the skills of older cohorts became obsolete. Our findings highlight the importance of technology-specific skills in explaining life-cycle returns to education\, and show that STEM jobs are the leading edge of technology diffusion in the labor market.\n\nBIO:\nDavid Deming is a Professor at the Harvard Kennedy School and the Harvard Graduate School of Education\, the Director of the Harvard Inequality and Social Policy Program\, and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Their importance is underscored by the reality that data-intensive\, algorithmically-mediated decision systems—as represented by artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML)—can exacerbate existing (or generate new) injustices\, worsening already problematic distributions of rights\, opportunities\, and wealth. At the same time\, critics of certain “fair” or “inclusive” approaches to the design and implementation of these systems have illustrated their limits\, pointing to problems with reductive or overly technical definitions of fairness or a general inability to appropriately address representative or dignitary harms.\n\nIn this talk\, Anna Lauren Hoffmann extends these critiques by focusing on problems of cultural and discursive violence. She begins by discussing trends in AI/ML fairness and inclusion discussion that mirror problematic tendencies from legal antidiscrimination discourses. From there\, she introduces “data violence” as a response to these trends. In particular\, she lays out the discursive bases of data-based violence—that is\, the discursive forms by which competing voices and various “fair” or “inclusive” solutions become legible (and others marginalized or ignored). In doing so\, she undermines any neat or easy distinction between the presence of violence and its absence—rather\, our sense of fair or inclusive conditions contain and feed the possibility of violent ones. She concludes by echoing feminist political philosopher Serene Khader’s call to move away from justice-imposing solutions toward justice-enhancing ones. Importantly\, justice-enhancing efforts cannot simply be a matter of protecting or “including” vulnerable others\, but must also attend to discourses and norms that generate asymmetrical vulnerabilities to violence in the first place. \n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nAnna Lauren Hoffmann is a scholar and writer working at the intersections of data\, technology\, culture\, and ethics. She is currently an Assistant Professor with The Information School at the University of Washington.\n\nHer work centers on issues in information\, data\, and ethics\, paying specific attention to the ways discourse\, design\, and uses of information technology work to promote or hinder the pursuit of important human values like respect and justice. She is concerned with the ways data\, information\, and technological systems (or the ways we talk about them) discriminate by undermining the development of self-respect of some\, especially through the infliction of symbolic and discursive violences. In addition\, she works on issues around ethics education for data professionals and computer scientists\, as well as the possibilities (and limits) of research ethics and professional codes of ethics.

In particular\, a new precision timing detector with hermetic coverage up to a pseudo-rapidity of |η|=3 will measure minimum ionizing particles (MIPs) with a time resolution of 30-40 ps. This measurement of the time coordinate will reduce the effects of the high levels of pile-up expected at the HL-LHC and bring new capabilities to the CMS detector.

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.

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. Dr. Fariss plans to introduce mostly introductory material during these sessions but will also cover Bayesian modeling in R and STAN.\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.

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 rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

Hyperphagia\, the primary driver of this epidemic\, results from the activating effects of hedonic sensory features of the food environment on specific\, behavior-generating brain circuits. Feeding inhibition\, by contrast\, results from ingested food triggering GI satiation signals whose activational effects are conveyed via vagal afferents and processed by n. tractus solitarious (NTS) neurons that are also responsive to leptin and oxytocin. A focus on food intake inhibition neurobiology compels attention to roles for gastrointestinal satiation signals and provides an entry point in deciphering a circuit diagram for feeding inhibition that should be useful to the development of efficacious obesity phramacotherapies. It is interesting to note that GLP-1 released from intestinal enteroendocrine cells by digested food excites centrally projecting vagal afferents that in turn excite GLP-1-positive TH- positive and PrRP-positive NTS neurons. The rats’ ~500 GLP-1 NTS neurons send their axons to multiple and anatomically distributed GLP-1R expressing nuclei such that when activated by the consequences of food ingestion and other antecedents there is a brain wide increase in GLP-1R signaling that results in feeding inhibition. Others and we have individually probed function in various GLP-1R expressing nuclei with agonist and find a remarkable degree of redundancy across targets including reductions in: meal size\, cumulative intake\, food seeking and feeding motivation. GLP-1R targeted anti-obesity drug therapy works via brain penetrance of long acting modied agonists resulting in multisite activation of endogenous control circuits to reduce feeding and thereby body weight. Among their actions GLP-1R targeting therapies impact neural mediation of hedonic processes involved in food seeking and feeding motivation.

As such\, understanding how competitive interactions and niches interact is potentially invaluable for understanding the formation and maintenance of biodiversity -- a primary goal in ecology. Recent upheavals in ecological theory suggest that competitive interactions should produce a clustered distribution of traits in biological communities\, for traits relevant to coexistence. Our lab has recently demonstrated evidence for the existence of these trait clusters in a neotropical forest community. For maximum tree height\, the cluster boundaries align surprisingly well with previous models of how light rays and forest canopy architecture interact to produce regions of maximum light availability. This seminar will propose ways to further our understanding of niche processes by illustrating how investigating the scale over which clustering emerges in different traits can be linked to the scale over which those traits might impact competing organisms. Recent collaborative work involving the chemical trait makeup of neotropical plants illustrates how chemical trait space might represent a novel niche axis to test predictions of trait patterning. Finally\, a flexible modeling framework for asking how phylogenetic models of trait evolution impact ecological theory is presented as a tool for helping to bridge expectations across community ecology and phylogenetics.

Each year we invite faculty to nominate the dissertations produced in their programs that were outstanding. The nomination dossiers submitted are then read and discussed by a review panel of faculty members who identify the finalists. Members of the Michigan Society of Fellows read the finalists’ dissertations\, review the merits\, and select the winners. We recognize these exceptional dissertations with the ProQuest Distinguished Dissertation Awards. All members of the U-M community are invited to attend the awards ceremony and reception to honor and congratulate the award recipients.

We identified the molecular basis for how a small molecule\, heme\, affects microRNA processing enzyme Drosha. We show that heme acts as a signaling factor to switch on processing of a subset of microRNAs. Other chemicals such as S-adenosylmethioinine\, and transfer of its methyl group to RNA\, can also have a big role in RNA-mediated gene regulation. We show the mechanistic details of how RNA methylation is accomplished\, using crystal structures and biochemical studies. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nYunsun Nam (UT Southwestern Medical Center) UID:55268-13711531@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55268 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190423T181526 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190423T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190423T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | The precision frontier: hunting for new short-range forces with AMO-based sensors DESCRIPTION:We normally think of large accelerators and massive detectors when we consider the frontiers of elementary particle physics\, pushing to understand the universe at higher and higher energy scales. However\, several tabletop low-energy experiments are positioned to discover a wide range of new physics beyond the Standard model\, where feeble interactions require precision measurements rather than high energies. In high vacuum\, optically-levitated dielectric nanospheres achieve excellent decoupling from their environment\, making force sensing at the zeptonewton level (10^{-21} N) achievable. In this talk I will describe our progress towards using these sensors for tests of the Newtonian gravitational inverse square law at micron length scales. Optically levitated dielectric objects show promise for a variety of other applications\, including searches for gravitational waves. Finally\, I will discuss the Axion Resonant InterAction Detection Experiment (ARIADNE)\, a precision magnetometry experiment using laser-polarized 3-He gas to search for a notable dark-matter candidate: the QCD axion. ​\n UID:63282-15611985@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63282 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190423T120009 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190423T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190423T180000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Michigan Meltdown DESCRIPTION:Join us for FREE ICE CREAM the last day of classes\, 4-6pm April 23rd!

Anti-apoptotic members of the family\, including Bcl-2\, Bcl-xL\, Bcl-w\, Mcl-1\, and Bfl-1\, sequester pro-apoptotic family members by binding tightly to an amphipathic alpha helix within them\, blocking pro-death functions. Through this mechanism\, overexpression of the anti-apoptotic proteins is implicated in oncogenesis and resistance to chemotherapy. Tight-binding and selective inhibitors of Bcl-2 family proteins can be used to diagnose the Bcl-2 dependencies of cancer cells and may be developed as therapeutics. The challenge of designing peptides that function as high-affinity and selective inhibitors of specific Bcl-2 family proteins poses a fundamental\, challenging problem in protein engineering and a good opportunity to study principles of protein-peptide recognition. I will describe features of Bcl-2 family protein interactions and discuss approaches we have developed that integrate computational structure-based modeling with high-throughput screening to generate peptide-based inhibitors.\n\nRegister here: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/biophysics-symposium/2019-biophysics-symposium-registration/ UID:62917-15494569@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62917 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biophysics,Biophysics Program,Biosciences,Chemistry,Complex Systems LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190122T132337 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190424T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190424T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:CPPS Exhibition. 100 Years of Polish Independence: Zakopane 1918 DESCRIPTION:“100 Years of Polish Independence: Zakopane 1918” is an exhibition of photographs from the archives of the Tatra Museum in Zakopane\, Poland.

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.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. 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. 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:59301-14728354@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:20190424T073253 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190424T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190424T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:UROP Annual Spring Research Symposium DESCRIPTION:The UROP Annual Spring Research Symposium is the culmination of the year-long research efforts of our students.

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.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

While still considered the reference standard for treatment of large volume bone injuries\, autologous grafts are limited in their clinical applications by donor site morbidity\, limited tissue availability\, and potential for graft failure. The clinical use of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) as bone graft substitutes has resulted in serious side effects due in part to the supraphysiologic dose of BMP required for adequate healing. New approaches to treating these large volume injuries are needed. Our proposed strategy utilizes tissue engineering and drug delivery concepts to develop synthetic drug-loaded biomimetic scaffolds for bone regeneration.\n\nTo enhance the osteogenic potential of synthetic scaffolds\, we sought to simultaneously deliver two growth factors: recombinant human BMP-7 and recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2). We first established an in vitro cell culture model using rabbit mesenchymal stem cells to evaluate and optimize the dose and duration of FGF-2 treatment in combination with BMP-7 as a basis for our in vivo studies. We subsequently encapsulated the growth factors in poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanospheres with tailored release patterns for each factor. Low molecular weight PLGA was used to encapsulate FGF-2 in fast releasing nanospheres while high molecular weight PLGA was used to encapsulate BMP-7 in slow releasing nanospheres. We found that FGF-2 augmented BMP-7-directed ectopic bone formation in a subcutaneous mouse model\, and that the synergistic effect was dependent on the dose and duration of FGF-2 treatment. We also found that FGF-2 may contribute to enhanced bone formation due to its effects on cell migration and proliferation\, as well as its angiogenic and osteogenic effects.\n \nWe then established an in vitro model to evaluate human mesenchymal stem cells in 2D monolayer and 3D culture on novel nanofibrous spongy microsphere scaffold (NF-SMS). We used a similar PLGA-based drug delivery system to control the release kinetics of FGF-2 and BMP-7 and conjugated drug-loaded PLGA nanospheres to the injectable NF-SMS scaffold. In a critical size cranial defect mouse model\, low dose FGF-2 combined with BMP-7 enhanced bone regeneration over BMP-7 alone.\n \nLastly\, we sought to better understand the crosstalk between the FGF-2 and BMP-7 signaling pathways through a series of experiments to measure the effect of FGF-2 on canonical BMP signaling in mouse calvarial osteoblasts. We identified a potential new link between these signaling pathways and propose a new mechanism by which FGF-2 signaling modulates BMP receptor activity\, enhancing the phosphorylation of R-Smad1/5/9 proteins. \n \nThis research elucidates the criteria for achieving synergy between BMP-7 and FGF-2 through relevant in vitro and in vivo models. It provides guidelines for future development of biomimetic scaffolds with controlled release of multiple relevant biological cues to stimulate healing and tissue regeneration.\n\nChair: Peter X.

Friedmann\nCognate: Professor Bogdan Epureanu\nMembers: Professor Carlos E. S. Cesnik\, Professor Joaquim R. R. A. Martins\n\nPresentation Info\nDate: 04/24/2019\nTime: 3:30 pm\nLocation: FXB 1044\n\nAirbreathing hypersonic flight has the potential to revolutionize global transportation and has been one of the last frontiers in the aerospace industry for over seven decades. Unlike conventional commercial aircraft\, air-breathing hypersonic vehicles are naturally interdisciplinary: the aerodynamic\, structural and thermal responses are tightly coupled. One of the unresolved technical challenges is the lack of hypersonic aerothermoelastic scaling laws for conducting aerothermoelastic testing. Once such scaling laws were available\, the flight test data obtained on scaled models could be extrapolated to full-size vehicles\, resulting in a dramatic cost reduction in the development of hypersonic vehicles.\n\nThis dissertation aims to achieve refined hypersonic aerothermoelastic scaling laws using a novel two-pronged methodology\, which combines the classical scaling approach with augmentation from numerical simulations of the specific aerothermoelastic problem. First\, an efficient aerothermoelastic computational framework is developed. The framework adopts a novel technique that enables the extrapolation of surrogate-based interpolative reduced order aerodynamic models and achieves computational acceleration by four orders of magnitude. The framework also features the linearized stability analysis for efficient identification of aerothermoelastic stability boundary and a tightly-coupled scheme for near-real-time aerothermoelastic simulation of extended flight time. On top of the framework\, the development of new aerothermoelastic scaling laws is formulated in the form of a constrained optimization problem\, which is solved using a Bayesian optimization approach. The effectiveness of the two-pronged approach is demonstrated by its application to the refined hypersonic aerothermoelastic scaling of a composite skin panel configuration.

The answer to these questions is a portal to new physics and the answer to the even bigger questions of the generation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry and the nature of dark matter.

The University of Michigan has an historic and longstanding commitment to public art. The campus is full of icons that evoke the Michigan spirit\, but none capture the vital importance of public art on campus like Mark di Suvero’s Orion.\n \nPlease join us on Wednesday\, April 24 for an opportunity to hear from one of the greatest living sculptors and creators of public art.\n \nBorn in Shanghai\, China\, in 1933\, di Suvero immigrated to the United States in 1941 and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy from the University of California\, Berkeley. An internationally renowned sculptor and pioneer in the use of steel\, he began showing his sculptures in the 1950s. Di Suvero is the sculptor of two iconic works on the U-M Ann Arbor campus: Shang\, a kinetic sculpture that features a suspended platform that swings\, and Orion\, a brightly painted\, orange-red sculpture made of hand-cut\, painted steel. His architectural-scale sculptures have been exhibited in the Netherlands\, Italy\, Spain\, Germany\, Australia\, Japan\, France\, the United Kingdom and the United States. di Suvero is the first living artist to exhibit in the Jardin des Tuileries and the Esplanade des Invalides in Paris and at Millennium Park in Chicago. His work is featured in more than 100 museums and public collections\, including the J. Paul Getty Museum\, the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art. An activist for peace and social justice\, di Suvero co-founded Park Place Gallery\, an artists’ cooperative\, in New York City in 1962. In 1977\, he established the Athena Foundation to assist artists to fulfill their ambitions. He established Socrates Sculpture Park in 1986 at the site of a landfill in Queens\, New York. Di Suvero has received several honors\, including the Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award from the International Sculpture Center and the National Medal of Arts.\n \nChristina Olsen is the Director of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and Chair of the University of Michigan President's Advisory Committee on Public Art. Before coming to Michigan she served as the Class of 1956 Director at the Williams College Museum of Art. Olsen has more than 25 years of leadership experience in museums and foundations\, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, the J. Paul Getty Museum and Getty Foundation\, and the Portland Art Museum. She is a national leader in debates about the changing role of campus art museums and their relationships with the public and campus\, and has lectured frequently on the topic. Olsen has curated and produced many exhibitions and programs\, including most recently Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\, currently on view at the University of Michigan’s Museum of Art. Olsen is on the board of the Association of Art Museum Directors and has taught at the University of Pennsylvania and Williams College. She received a BA in history of art\, with honors\, from the University of Chicago\, and an MA and PhD in art history from the University of Pennsylvania.\n\nThis program is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan President's Advisory Committee on Public Art.

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.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

Dynamic treatment regimes accommodate differences between individuals and changes in individuals over time. Sequential randomized trials are a specific type of trial design useful for developing high-quality dynamic treatment regimes. Sequential randomized trials utilize re-randomization of individuals over time in order to discover how to sequence\, time\, and personalize treatments. Two of the most commonly used sequential randomized trial designs are sequential multiple assignment randomized trials and micro-randomized trials.\n\nIn this thesis\, we contribute to both the design and analysis of sequential randomized trials. We describe design considerations for sequential randomized trials in online education. We present the design and analysis for a sequential randomized trial developed to reduce dropout in a massively open online course. We also develop statistical methodology and sample size formulae for sequential multiple assignment randomized trial designs which include cluster-level randomization. The techniques are inspired by a trial aiming to develop high-quality dynamic treatment regimes for mental health clinics. Lastly\, we illustrate the design\, describe the analysis\, and present results of a large micro-randomized trial aiming to develop mobile health interventions for improving medical interns' mental health.

Our understanding of platforms too blithely accepted the terms in which they were sold and celebrated - open\, impartial\, connective\, progressive\, transformative - skewing our study of social behavior that happens on them\, stunting our examination of their societal impact. \n\nContent moderation doesn’t fit this celebratory vision. As such\, it has often been treated as peripheral to what they do—a custodial task\, like sweeping up\, occasional and invisible. What if moderation is in fact central to what platforms do? Moderation is an enormous part of the work of running a platform\, in terms of people\, time\, and cost. The work of policing all this caustic content and abuse haunts platforms\, and profoundly shapes how they work.\n\nToday\, social media platforms are being scrutinized in the press\; specific controversies\, each a tiny crisis of trust\, have gelled into a more profound interrogation of their responsibilities to users and society. What are the implications of the emerging demand that platforms serve not as conduits or arbiters\, but as custodians? This is uncharted territory for the platforms\, a very different notion of how they should earn the trust of their users and stand accountable to civil society.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nTarleton Gillespie is a principal researcher at Microsoft Research New England\, and an affiliated associate professor in the Department of Communication and Department of Information Science at Cornell University.

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.

As this vast amount of data has opened a wealth of opportunities for data analysis\, computationally scalable methods become increasingly important for statistical modeling. This thesis focuses on developing scalable classification methods and their applications to automotive dealerships and healthcare problems.\n\nThe first project studies parameter estimation of customers' and dealerships' consumption preference for the automotive market\, which determines the manufacturers' profits. Most existing methods assume that the dealerships are rational and hence aim to maximize profits\, which conflicts with observations. We propose a structural Bayesian model for customers’ and dealerships’ preference which aims to maximize a flexible utility function. Further we develop an MCMC algorithm utilizing parallel computing to estimate model parameters. The model is calibrated to data from a manufacturer\, and the estimates are used in a simulation model to design optimal financial incentive offers to maximize profits.\n\nThe second project focuses on the two-class classification problem based on the area under the receiver operating curve (AUC)\, which is often considered as a more comprehensive measure for the performance of a classifier comparing with the misclassification error. Maximizing the empirical AUC directly\, however\, is computationally challenging as naive computation of the AUC requires quadratic time complexity\, while computing the misclassification error only requires linear time complexity. Further\, the optimization involves indicator functions and it is NP-hard. In this project\, we propose a non-convex differentiable surrogate function for the AUC\, and further develop a scalable algorithm to optimize this surrogate loss function. The proposed algorithm takes advantage of the selection tree data structure and also uses a truncated Newton strategy so that the computational complexity of the optimization scales at the quasilinear time. In the setting of linear classification\, we also show that the estimated coefficients enjoy theoretical asymptotic consistency. Finally\, we evaluate the performance of the proposed method using both simulation studies and two data sets\, one for normal/abnormal vertebral column classification and the other for behaving/not-behaving network visit classification\, and show that the proposed method outperforms the support vector machine (SVM) in terms of the AUC.\n\nThe last project is motivated by the problem of predicting midterm mortality of patients using the Ninth Revision\, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) codes\, which is relevant for healthcare and clinical research. The ICD-9 contains a list of standard six-character alphanumeric codes recording useful clinical information including patient diagnoses and procedures. However\, the number of ICD-9 codes in a specific study is often large\, on the order of thousands or tens of thousands\, and the dependence structure among ICD-9 codes is complicated\, which pose statistical challenges for using the ICD-9 codes. To address these challenges\, we develop a supervised embedding method that combines an unsupervised criterion for learning latent representations of ICD-9 codes and a Deep Set neural network model for classification\, which is invariant with respect to the ordering of the ICD-9 codes. The proposed supervised embedding method has the advantage of modeling the inter-relationship within ICD-9 codes and the nonlinear relationship between codes and the outcome variable simultaneously\, and it can also be naturally extended to the semi-supervised learning setting. The model is trained using the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) approach\, which allows the entire database to be stored on multiple computing nodes and hence makes the method suitable for analyzing large data sets. We have applied the proposed method to 1-year mortality prediction using the Medical Information Mart for Incentive Care III (MIMIC-III) database and achieved superior performance in comparison with several benchmark models.

However\, the small binding energy of exciton in conventional semiconductors jeopardizes its integration and potentials in modern optoelectronics schemes. In the past decade\, a new type of two-dimensional semiconductors\, mainly transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)\, attract tremendous interests with much larger exciton binding energy. Thus\, stable excitonic effects up to room temperature can give rise to extremely strong light-matter interaction. Together with their ultra-lightweight and other emerging properties\, such strong excitonic interaction in 2D TMD opens up the possibility to optically control properties of monolayer semiconductors over the suspended structure. \n\nIn this talk\, I will first review this new type of 2D semiconductors and interesting device physics by employing the structure of nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). Then I’ll present our study of exciton-induced nonlinearities in suspended TMD monolayers\, where we achieved a robust optical bistability near the exciton resonance. Our results also demonstrate a helicity-dependent optical switching that enables control of light not only by light intensity but also by its polarization using monolayer materials. Additionally\, I will discuss our recent results on dynamically manipulating the mechanical motion of a suspended 2D semiconductor through its exciton resonance\, without an optical cavity structure.\n UID:62425-15364107@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62425 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190228T114642 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190425T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190425T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Discover Series: Books as Physical Objects DESCRIPTION:Join the Clements Library's Conservator\, Julie Fremuth\, as we discover how the rare and unique materials in the Clements Library illustrate the evolution of paper\, printing\, and binding in America.

Directed by Tzveta Kassabova with the cast. “And then I realized that the deep darkness inside me had vanished. Suddenly. As suddenly as it has come. I raised myself from the sand and\, without bothering either to take off my shoes or roll up my cuffs\, walked into the surf to let the waves lap at my ankles.” What does it mean to tell a story? Who is the storyteller\, who is listening? What real geography is surrounding us and what landscape do we imagine in our stories?

His dad started him on the mandolin at age seven and required him to practice ten minutes a day. But after six months of practicing this minimal amount\, something clicked\, and almost overnight he started putting in several hours of intense practice daily. And this hasn't really changed in the last 20 years. He's played with Joy Kills Sorrow and Yonder Mountain String Band (which continues to tour)\, and now he's started his own Jacob Jolliff Band\, featuring some of New England's most virtuosic young pickers. The group features a lot of Jacob's original instrumentals\, as well as showcasing his singing\, which has been a big part of what he does in recent years.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan\, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, and the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library. \n\nThe continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment\, distribution\, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result\, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, the University of Michigan Library\, the University of Michigan Office for Research (UMOR)\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n\n  UID:60521-14903631@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60521 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Books,Library LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
