« 2/6 - 3/16 »	Exhibition: Singular Repetitions Location: Star Store, New Bedford , Purchase Street, New Bedford Contact: University Art Gallery Description: The exhibition, Singular Repetitions at UMass Dartmouth University Art Gallery in Downtown New Bedford features one-of-a-kind prints by Lindsey Beal, Kim Gatesman, Amanda Means, Denny Moers, and Michael Rich. The reception is on Thursday, AHA! Night, February 9 from 7 to 9 pm with the artists' talk at 7.30 pm. Singular Repetitions presents work created in various techniques from daguerreotypes to electrostatic monoprints, exploring the limits of printmaking as a medium as well as experimental approaches to the monoprint and photographic monoprint. Lindsey Beal is a photo-based artist in Providence, whose work combines historical and contemporary lives of women with historical photographic processes, such as daguerreotypes. Both her abstract cyanotype prints that are embedded in resin within Petri dishes and her Venus series, carry hidden stories. New Bedford based printmaker and painter Kim Gatesman explores scientific visualization and physics. For this exhibition, she created a new body of work that makes her experiments with static electricity visible with the help of black powder pigments utilizing her unique combinations of electrostatic monotype and chine collage. Amanda Means is known for her experimentation with alternative, camera-less photography. This artist, based in Beacon, NY presents abstract works that result from her unique understanding of the darkroom process. Her technique allows her to 'play' with the surface of the paper, folding or scoring it while permitting the liquid chemicals to make their marks in a more or less controlled environment. Rhode Island artist Denny Moers presents a new body of work in his series, titled Consumed Structures that use images of old houses altered over time by nature. The surface of these photographs is further altered during the print developing process by controlling the action of light on the darkroom chemicals applied on sensitized photographic paper. Through his unique process, Moers is able to obtain colors from black to deep rust in his black-and-white images. In his new series, Michael Rich who lives and works in Providence, RI and Nantucket MA, creates abstract layered intaglio monoprints using a combination of various etching plates in different hues. They are often turned upside down and paired with additional or repetitive images in color to create depth and the interactions of form. The show, Singular Repetitions, offers a quietly exciting, focused, calculated, yet very free and experimentally based opportunity to question the established rules of printmaking and the photographic process.

« 2/6 - 3/16 »	Exhibition: Singular Repetitions Location: Star Store, New Bedford , Purchase Street, New Bedford Contact: University Art Gallery Description: The exhibition, Singular Repetitions at UMass Dartmouth University Art Gallery in Downtown New Bedford features one-of-a-kind prints by Lindsey Beal, Kim Gatesman, Amanda Means, Denny Moers, and Michael Rich. The reception is on Thursday, AHA! Night, February 9 from 7 to 9 pm with the artists' talk at 7.30 pm. Singular Repetitions presents work created in various techniques from daguerreotypes to electrostatic monoprints, exploring the limits of printmaking as a medium as well as experimental approaches to the monoprint and photographic monoprint. Lindsey Beal is a photo-based artist in Providence, whose work combines historical and contemporary lives of women with historical photographic processes, such as daguerreotypes. Both her abstract cyanotype prints that are embedded in resin within Petri dishes and her Venus series, carry hidden stories. New Bedford based printmaker and painter Kim Gatesman explores scientific visualization and physics. For this exhibition, she created a new body of work that makes her experiments with static electricity visible with the help of black powder pigments utilizing her unique combinations of electrostatic monotype and chine collage. Amanda Means is known for her experimentation with alternative, camera-less photography. This artist, based in Beacon, NY presents abstract works that result from her unique understanding of the darkroom process. Her technique allows her to 'play' with the surface of the paper, folding or scoring it while permitting the liquid chemicals to make their marks in a more or less controlled environment. Rhode Island artist Denny Moers presents a new body of work in his series, titled Consumed Structures that use images of old houses altered over time by nature. The surface of these photographs is further altered during the print developing process by controlling the action of light on the darkroom chemicals applied on sensitized photographic paper. Through his unique process, Moers is able to obtain colors from black to deep rust in his black-and-white images. In his new series, Michael Rich who lives and works in Providence, RI and Nantucket MA, creates abstract layered intaglio monoprints using a combination of various etching plates in different hues. They are often turned upside down and paired with additional or repetitive images in color to create depth and the interactions of form. The show, Singular Repetitions, offers a quietly exciting, focused, calculated, yet very free and experimentally based opportunity to question the established rules of printmaking and the photographic process.

2:00 PM - 4:00 PM	ECE Oral Comprehensive Exam for Doctoral Candidacy by: Anthony Fascia Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Room 314 Cost: Free Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department Description: Topic: Spatial Frequency Analysis of Electromagnetic Scattering and Radiation Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Room 314 Abstract: Electromagnetic scattering and radiation is traditionally analyzed by solving Maxwell's equations and applying the pertinent boundary conditions in the spatial domain. In the spatial domain, the solution to Maxwell's equations reduces to an integral equation which is used to relate the scattered (or radiated) fields to the induced currents. Generally, complex scattering problems are solved by discretizing the integral equation and solving the resulting matrix equation to find the unknown induced currents. This spatial domain approach is referred to as the Method of Moments where the unknown currents are found for a set of known incident fields by inverting a matrix equation. The spatial domain form of the matrix equation represents a spatial convolution of the induced currents and a kernel (also known as the Green's function) derived from Maxwell's equations. As the scattering objects become larger the matrix inversion becomes computationally challenging. In recent years, there has been significant research done in reducing the computational complexity of the scattering problems by transforming the spatial domain equations into other domains which make the matrix inversion process computationally more tractable. Since the matrix equation represents a convolution, it may be transformed into a multiplication operation in the spatial frequency domain. In discrete form, a standard convolution operation yields a Toeplitz matrix in the spatial domain. A Toeplitz matrix does not automatically get transformed into a diagonal matrix in the spatial frequency domain. The Toeplitz matrix needs to be converted to an equivalent circulant matrix before being transformed into the spatial frequency domain. Circulant matrices yield diagonal matrices when transformed to the spatial frequency domain. However, converting the original Toeplitz matrix to a circulant matrix without modifying the original current/field relationship results in an expansion of the domain. The expanded domain will include the scattering surface and a corresponding complementary space. The focus of the proposed research is to investigate these issues arising from the transformation into the spatial frequency domain. Preliminary results indicate that the spatial frequency approach can speed up the matrix inversion process. A fast iterative algorithm which utilizes the multiplicative properties of the spatial frequency domain approach and the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm has been developed for scattering from one-dimensional objects. In the proposed research, this technique will be expanded and applied to scattering from two- and three-dimensional canonical objects. Another objective of this project is to analyze and formulate the properties of the complementary space in order to further speed up the spatial frequency domain matrix inversion process.

The surface of these photographs is further altered during the print developing process by controlling the action of light on the darkroom chemicals applied on sensitized photographic paper. Through his unique process, Moers is able to obtain colors from black to deep rust in his black-and-white images. In his new series, Michael Rich who lives and works in Providence, RI and Nantucket MA, creates abstract layered intaglio monoprints using a combination of various etching plates in different hues. They are often turned upside down and paired with additional or repetitive images in color to create depth and the interactions of form. The show, Singular Repetitions, offers a quietly exciting, focused, calculated, yet very free and experimentally based opportunity to question the established rules of printmaking and the photographic process.
