Computational Science Seminar

Speaker: Miles Sundermeyer (SMAST at UMassD)
Title: "Ocean Mixing Studies and An Introduction to the UMass Experimental Center for Environmental Lidar (EXCEL)"
Time: Tuesday, April 14, 2015, 3:30pm-4:30pm
Location: Textiles 105
Abstract: Dye release experiments conducted in the seasonal pycnocline of the Sargasso Sea in June 2011 are used to estimate diapycnal and isopycnal diffusivities on time scales of many days, and spatial scales of 0.1 to 10 km. A shear-strain-diffusion model suggests vertical shear dispersion by low frequency shears and internal waves explain a fraction of the observed lateral spreading. A series of shorter (order 6 hrs) experiments surveyed using airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) reveal details about the short-term evolution of the dye patches, including multiple instances of sinuous meanders of the patches early in the evolution, and/or evidence of filamentation along their periphery. This suggests weak small- scale (<1 km) differential lateral advection acting on the patches, possibly contributing to enhanced dispersion at later times in the longer experiments. Simple scaling implies an upper bound on the effective lateral diffusivity at the <1 km scale that is nearly an
order of magnitude smaller than that at 1-5 km scales.
To further advance the use of lidar for environmental science applications such as these, we have established a new UMass Experimental Center for Environmental Lidar (EXCEL). In brief, EXCEL is a multi-campus center (UMass Lowell, Dartmouth, Boston, and Amherst) that pools expertise among the four campuses in terrestrial, oceanographic, and wind lidar. As part of the Center's oceanographic related activities in particular, we are reaching out to potential collaborators within UMass and in the region that have interest and/or possible applications related to bathymetric lidar, spatially resolved wave data, water clarity data (e.g. tubidity, phytoplankton concentrations), marsh/wetland/beach/dune/channel topography/bathymetric data, and/or other marine/coastal related applications. We welcome any opportunities to collaborate with interested groups on these and related problems.
Dr. Sundermeyer is an Associate Professor at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth School for Marine Science and Technology. He earned his Ph.D. from the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in Physical Oceanography, and has been studying problems relating to ocean mixing for more than 20 years. His primary research interests include vertical and horizontal mixing processes, dye release and Lagrangian drifter studies, numerical modeling of two- and three-dimensional turbulent flows, numerical modeling of physical and biological interactions.

Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940) Opening Reception: Thursday, Apr 16, 4 - 6 PM with the Gallery Talk at 5 PM
- Location: University Art Gallery
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940)
Exhibition Dates: April 16 - May 1
Opening Reception: Thursday, Apr 16, 4 - 6 PM with the Gallery Talk at 5 PM
Printmaking workshop: Thursday, April 23, 5-7 PM
Artists: Jessie Willcox Smith, Sarah Wyman Whitman, Eliza Draper Gardiner, Anna Brewster Richards, Blanche Ames, Theodosia Chase, Elizabeth Shippen Green, Emma Swan, Angela O'Leary, Allen Sisters, Mabel May Woodward, Grace Albee, Helen Watson Phelps, Alice Barbara Stephens, Ellen Dale Hale, Lena Newscastle and Mabel Dewit Eldred
The University of Massachusetts Art History Department presents an exhibition entitled, Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890 - 1940). This show, which is part of the Senior Art History Capstone class at UMass Dartmouth, will feature paintings, illustrations, book cover designs and photographs created by professional late nineteenth and early twentieth century women artists from Philadelphia to Maine. The exhibition is open between April 15 and May 1, 2015 at the CVPA Campus Gallery, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 285 Old Westport Road, North Dartmouth, MA 02747. All are invited to the reception and gallery talk on Thursday, Apr 16, 4 - 6 PM.
The exhibition poses the question, "Why don't we know about these successful and prolific women artists of the Modernist period?" These women were accomplished artists, leaders within the art world and participated in many art related endeavors. They were involved in the establishment of art societies throughout North East, attended and taught students at prestigious art schools, studied aboard in Europe, and led successful and profitable business careers. For example, Jessie Willcox Smith illustrated every cover of Good Housekeeping from 1917 to April 1933, representing more than 292 illustrations; similar to Norman Rockwell's contribution to the Saturday Evening Post; yet recognition of Smith's professional accomplishments are often overlooked within traditional canon of art history. This is just one story of many that will be explored in the exhibition.
The exhibition is a project of the Art History Senior Seminar class, composed of sixteen art history upperclassmen. Through this course students applied their academic and professional knowledge to a real world experience. Students expanded their skill-sets within the fields of art history, art, design and museum studies, through their exhibition research, writing, interpretation, exhibition and graphic design, collection care, and visitor relations. Students also learned to work collaboratively, writing and editing the catalog, developing the exhibition design, installing the exhibition and developing public programming.
We would like to thank those individuals who generously loaned works from their private collections and to those institutions including Providence Art Club, Bert Gallery, Providence Athenaeum, Boston Public Library, Smith College, UMass Amherst and New Bedford Public Library who agreed to contribution to the exhibition, "Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940)"

BMEBT Seminar Presentation by Dr. David Koop, CIS
- Location: Textiles Building 102
- Contact: BMEBT Seminar Series
- Description: TOPIC: Using Visualization and Provenance for Data Exploration
ABSTRACT: The mountains of data being gathered and generated each day have brought about many opportunities to discover and test new ideas. Algorithms help users summarize and filter this data, but insight often requires users to explore intermediate results and modify computations during their analyses. Visualization techniques provide intuitive and interactive methods for examining data, helping to speed the time to insight. At the same time, keeping track of all of the computations and explorations places a burden on users. Automated methods that transparently capture provenance---the record of how each result was achieved---allow users greater freedom to investigate data without worrying about manually recording their progress. In this talk, I will present efficient methods to explore and visualize data, and discuss how provenance can be utilized to integrate knowledge from past investigations.

- Description: TOPIC: Velocity Control of Piezoelectric Transducers with Class D Switching Power Amplifiers
Location; College of Engineering Conference Room, Textile's Building - Room 101E
ABSTRACT:
Velocity feedback control of underwater piezoelectric projectors in an array can mitigate the adverse effects of acoustic array interactions, improving beam patterns over a wide frequency band. This dissertation focuses on motional current monitoring as a method of velocity control based on earlier work, and is also applicable to velocity, acceleration, or displacement feedback in sensor arrays. The feedback stability and control loop outputs for motional current velocity control are constrained by the piezoelectric projector's electromechanical coupling coefficient, mechanical quality factor, and the accuracy of the estimate of the transducer's blocked electrical capacitance, which may vary due to environmental conditions. The steady state array equations dictating the array outputs for a single frequency continuous transmission is presented for velocity control systems, as are the conditions necessary for negative radiation impedance. It is shown that velocity control systems, regardless of the sensor types used, increases the risk for inducing negative radiation impedance which in some conditions can cause catastrophic amplifier failure. This risk increases with increased inter element acoustic coupling and higher feedback loop gain.
Velocity control of a piezoelectric load with a class D amplifier presents feedback stability challenges due to acquiring feedback after a high Q LC filter, which introduces a large gain and phase shift into the feedback loop. Post LC filter feedback is commonly used with Class D amplifiers when driving a voice coil load, but is rarely if ever used when driving an underwater piezoelectric load. Two different methods for stabilizing the feedback loop with a piezoelectric load are investigated, each with their own tradeoffs. A lossy damping network of a similar kind used in voice coil designs may be used, at the expense of resistive damping losses. Another approach is adding an inner feedback loop to synthetically dampen the filter resonance with current feedback, which requires multi-loop analysis to verify the stability of the inner and global feedback loop and the resulting outputs.
A prototype 8-layer amplifier board was designed, fabricated, and successfully tested with a 100V bus. An equivalent electrical circuit of a transducer was built to approximate the load that a candidate transducer for velocity control would present to the amplifier. The control loop parameters were then tuned to the measured parameters of the equivalent circuit to achieve motional current control. Measured feedback loop response, stability, and output levels all matched predicted levels within good tolerance.

Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940)
- Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940)
Exhibition Dates: April 16 - May 1
Opening Reception: Thursday, Apr 16, 4 - 6 PM with the Gallery Talk at 5 PM
Printmaking workshop: Thursday, April 23, 5-7 PM
Artists: Jessie Willcox Smith, Sarah Wyman Whitman, Eliza Draper Gardiner, Anna Brewster Richards, Blanche Ames, Theodosia Chase, Elizabeth Shippen Green, Emma Swan, Angela O'Leary, Allen Sisters, Mabel May Woodward, Grace Albee, Helen Watson Phelps, Alice Barbara Stephens, Ellen Dale Hale, Lena Newscastle and Mabel Dewit Eldred.
The University of Massachusetts Art History Department presents an exhibition entitled, Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890 - 1940). This show, which is part of the Senior Art History Capstone class at UMass Dartmouth, will feature paintings, illustrations, book cover designs and photographs created by professional late nineteenth and early twentieth century women artists from Philadelphia to Maine. The exhibition is open between April 15 and May 1, 2015 at the CVPA Campus Gallery, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 285 Old Westport Road, North Dartmouth, MA 02747. All are invited to the reception and gallery talk on Thursday, Apr 16, 4 - 6 PM.
The exhibition poses the question, "Why don't we know about these successful and prolific women artists of the Modernist period?" These women were accomplished artists, leaders within the art world and participated in many art related endeavors. They were involved in the establishment of art societies throughout North East, attended and taught students at prestigious art schools, studied aboard in Europe, and led successful and profitable business careers. For example, Jessie Willcox Smith illustrated every cover of Good Housekeeping from 1917 to April 1933, representing more than 292 illustrations; similar to Norman Rockwell's contribution to the Saturday Evening Post; yet recognition of Smith's professional accomplishments are often overlooked within traditional canon of art history. This is just one story of many that will be explored in the exhibition.
The exhibition is a project of the Art History Senior Seminar class, composed of sixteen art history upperclassmen. Through this course students applied their academic and professional knowledge to a real world experience. Students expanded their skill-sets within the fields of art history, art, design and museum studies, through their exhibition research, writing, interpretation, exhibition and graphic design, collection care, and visitor relations. Students also learned to work collaboratively, writing and editing the catalog, developing the exhibition design, installing the exhibition and developing public programming.
We would like to thank those individuals who generously loaned works from their private collections and to those institutions including Providence Art Club, Bert Gallery, Providence Athenaeum, Boston Public Library, Smith College, UMass Amherst and New Bedford Public Library who agreed to contribution to the exhibition, "Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940)"
