Making Her Mark is an exhibition highlighting late nineteenth-century paintings, illustrations, books, and sculptures by Rhode Island women artists and their contributions to the modernity narrative. The exhibition focuses on a group of women artists who were instrumental in the establishment of one of the first American art club, Providence Art Club, that excepted women as equal members, as active board members and as artistic colleagues. Over the course of the later half of nineteenth century women artists, such as, Rosa Peckham, Emily McGary Selinger, Helen Watson Phelps, Emma Swan, Charlotte Gilman, Mary C. Wheeler, & Sophia Pitman, along with other female artists, worked, traveled, and exhibited alongside their male contemporaries. Many of these women pursued opportunities to show their artworks in salons and galleries in both the United States and abroad, including Paris and London. These remarkable women, artists, suffragettes, art instructors, authors, and community leaders help form and contribute to the regional and national artistic and cultural conversation. The exhibition celebrates these women artists and recognizes their struggles as well as their accomplishments to the American history. The exhibition is part of the capstone experience where students work in teams and apply their academic and professional knowledge to a real world experience. This is the 6th year that Dr. Anna Dempsey and Allison J. Cywin, art history professors, have directed a group of upperclassmen to execute a professional museum quality exhibition and publication. This student-run exhibition explores the definition of modernity and focuses on feminine artistic communities in Providence. This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the Providence Art Club.

8:00 AM - 10:00 AM	MASTER OF SCIENCE THESIS DEFENSE BY: David J. Goncalves Location: > See description for location Cost: Free Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department Description: TOPIC: VEHICLE OCCUPANT VITALS MONITORING LOCATION: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A ABSTRACT: Smart and autonomous vehicles have, since inception of the concept, been always focused on presenting the system data to make environment-based decisions. The concern has always focused on monitoring the surroundings of the vehicle and make decisions based on perceived situation from the data collected. Vehicles today may not be entirely autonomous, but they are capable enough to aid drivers for road safety due to limitation of human perceptions and/or negligence of human errors. Features of driver assistance, such as Ford's system of adaptive cruise control and lane keeping or Subaru's forward collision, compensate the latency of human reaction time and prevent collisions and other accidents on the roads. While the debate will undoubtedly continue in the foreseeable future as to whether autonomous vehicles will hit the mainstream market, incremental affordable systems have been built to aid the driver on top of available features in vehicles for road safety, travel convenience, and occupant entertainment. While most state-of-the-art vehicle monitoring systems function at monitoring the environment around a vehicle, this thesis aims at developing a system that monitors the driver and occupants inside a vehicle. The work integrates a spectrum of health-monitoring sensors including pulse rate, body temperature, alcohol level, and steering wheel contact, as well as smart watch heartbeat. The health statistics obtained from the data collected are used to detect anomaly or event. The information triggers an alert directly to local emergency services in real time or is archived for future investigation used by insurance agencies and court cases. Through an intensive research on both body sensors and vehicular safety products, currently available and in development, a prototype system has been built that collects data about the user via various sensors adopted in the system. The system utilizes the cutting-edge technologies of the Internet of Things (IoT) for connected vehicles, the biggest thing in IoT, with a wireless sensor network, as well as modern devices such as smart watches and smartphones. The resulted prototype demonstrates seamless collection from multiple sensors and devices wirelessly and comprehend the occupant vitals for their health and safety monitoring. Future work of this vehicle occupant vitals monitoring system will study the effective of alternative designs on various metrics such as sensing choice, communication efficiency, security, privacy, and usability.

11:00 AM - 1:00 PM	Research Component of Phd Qualifier Exam by: Patrick R. DaSilva Location: Science & Engineering Building, Lester W. Cory Conference Room: Room 213A Cost: Free Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department Description: Topic: Electrocardiogram Collection, Pattern Recognition and Classification System Supporting a Cardiovascular Disease Detection Aid Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A Abstract: The leading cause of mortality in the United States is heart disease. According to the CDC Division of Vital Statistics, 26% of total death tolls (2,423,712) in 2007 were directly related to heart diseases. Preliminary 2009 data shows that this lethal disease continued to be the main cause of death for 598,607 Americans. Affected patients usually do not comprehend how their disease progress because they are not given the proper training upon hospital discharge to recognize how subtle changes have a large effect on their overall health. There is a financial strain on our healthcare system and it's important for patients to be knowledgeable in self-care in order to assess and take appropriate action before symptoms become intense. Current mobile monitoring solutions do not offer the ability to recognize cardiac problems without the use of an outside technician. In support of cardiovascular disease detection aid set forth by Dr. Paul Fortier of UMASS Dartmouth, an attempt is made to perform pattern recognition and classification on a real-time electrocardiogram (EKG). The EKG is detected through the use of the Wavelet Transform and the rhythm is classified using an N-ary tree. The entire software platform is designed and developed in the C language. It's further loaded and tested on an Atmel microcontroller. Testing results showed that autonomous classifications are possible using a three lead system while the patient is at rest. Further research is required to compensate for muscle noise and motion artifacts, but the proposed classification method serves as a stepping stone towards a fully reliable teaching tool with the potential to serve as a solution to the current cardiovascular healthcare issue.

2:00 PM - 4:00 PM	Master of Science Project Defense: Jigar Shah Location: Science & Engineering Building, Lester W. Cory Conference Room: Room 213A Cost: Free Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department Description: Topic: Product Processing Technique for Antenna Arrays and Interferometry Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A Abstract: Conventional array processing techniques utilize linear processing techniques to combine different signals from multiple array elements or tracks. In this project, a new product processing technique is proposed for both antenna arrays and interferometry. This new product processing technique is called the Antenna Product Processing (APP) technique for antenna arrays and Interferometric Product Processing (IPP) for SAR interferometry. The APP technique is shown to emulate the performance of a larger antenna array using measurements from a smaller antenna array. The proposed method uses measurements from smaller antenna arrays and produces Direction-of-Arrival estimates commensurate with results produced by linear processing of measurements from much larger antenna arrays. The IPP technique is shown to emulate the performance of a longer interferometric baseline with measurements from a smaller interferometric baseline. Simulations show that the proposed method may use smaller interferometric baselines and produce phase estimates commensurate with results produced by linear processing of measurements from much longer interferometric baselines. For separating scattering from multiple scattering centers, IPP performance is comparable to linear processing of measurements from much larger baselines. The sensitivity for APP and IPP techniques to noise is also investigated. Note: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend. All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public.

« 4/12 - 4/29 »	Exhibition: Making Her Mark Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts , 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA Contact: Art History Department Description: The Making Her Mark exhibition runs from April 12 thru April 29, 2017 at the Main Campus Art Gallery located in the College of Visual & Performing Arts, UMass Dartmouth, adjacent to parking lot 9. We invite the public to attend the opening reception and gallery talk on Wednesday, April 12 from 4pm -6pm. The public exhibition hours are Monday-Saturday 10 a.m. -4 p.m. For more information, please contact: - Dr. Anna Dempsey, adempsey@umassd.edu or - Allison J. Cywin, acywin@umassd.edu You can also call the gallery at 508-999-8550. Making Her Mark is an exhibition highlighting late nineteenth-century paintings, illustrations, books, and sculptures by Rhode Island women artists and their contributions to the modernity narrative. The exhibition focuses on a group of women artists who were instrumental in the establishment of one of the first American art club, Providence Art Club, that excepted women as equal members, as active board members and as artistic colleagues. Over the course of the later half of nineteenth century women artists, such as, Rosa Peckham, Emily McGary Selinger, Helen Watson Phelps, Emma Swan, Charlotte Gilman, Mary C. Wheeler, & Sophia Pitman, along with other female artists, worked, traveled, and exhibited alongside their male contemporaries. Many of these women pursued opportunities to show their artworks in salons and galleries in both the United States and abroad, including Paris and London. These remarkable women, artists, suffragettes, art instructors, authors, and community leaders help form and contribute to the regional and national artistic and cultural conversation. The exhibition celebrates these women artists and recognizes their struggles as well as their accomplishments to the American history. The exhibition is part of the capstone experience where students work in teams and apply their academic and professional knowledge to a real world experience. This is the 6th year that Dr. Anna Dempsey and Allison J. Cywin, art history professors, have directed a group of upperclassmen to execute a professional museum quality exhibition and publication. This student-run exhibition explores the definition of modernity and focuses on feminine artistic communities in Providence. This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the Providence Art Club.
