« 9/18 - 11/15 »	Counterpoints: Colors, Layers, Lines Location: Star Store, New Bedford , Purchase Street, New Bedford Cost: Free admission Contact: University Art Gallery Description: The Exhibition "Counterpoints: Colors, Layers, Lines" at UMass Dartmouth University Art Gallery in New Bedford presents three very different, yet highly compatible women artists. While each of them uses strong, intense colors and the layering of various elements and lines, each artist's work is best described by one of the three words in the exhibition title. However, the almost psychedelic interpretation of colors in Friese's landscapes, the inclusion of photography or other unusual materials in Mandle's critical narratives and the underlying geometry and references to female imagery in Thorton's flowers all share an affinity towards abstraction while inspiring visitors to look closer to discover their inner logic.

« 9/10 - 11/12 »	Formidable: Site Specific Installation by Kat Knutsen Location: Star Store, New Bedford , Purchase Street, New Bedford Cost: Free admission. Contact: University Art Gallery Description: College of Visual & Performing Arts (CVPA) presents a new site-specific installation by recent MFA graduate Kat Knutsen, entitled "Formidable" through November 12, 2015. After receiving her MFA in painting at UMass Dartmouth in 2014, Kat Knutsen (born 1984) began an artist residency at CVPA's Star Store Campus focusing on combining fiber arts and painting in her animations. Her work has since evolved towards installations that combine fiber art, painting, sculpture and music. As she says, "I keep an open mind with the materials I work with and explore the relationships between them. At the moment, my work is a conversation between the two-dimensional, three-dimensional and sound. 'Formidable' is a culmination of my experiences since I arrived in New Bedford in 2012. For me, the object of the jellyfish symbolizes the need to quickly adapt in the changing art world. The challenge of creating a dialogue between the textile objects, painting and music in this site-specific installation parallels my journey in building a career as a young artist today."

While each of them uses strong, intense colors and the layering of various elements and lines, each artist's work is best described by one of the three words in the exhibition title. However, the almost psychedelic interpretation of colors in Friese's landscapes, the inclusion of photography or other unusual materials in Mandle's critical narratives and the underlying geometry and references to female imagery in Thorton's flowers all share an affinity towards abstraction while inspiring visitors to look closer to discover their inner logic.

Pre-registration required. Contact: LiveWell: Office of Health Education, Promotion, & Wellness Description: Pre-gaming remains one of the main challenges facing college officials, continuing to leave many at a loss for how to address this dangerous practice. Not only is such behavior becoming more common, it is now becoming an event in and of itself. Research on the increased negative consequences experienced by students who pre-game reinforces the need for prioritizing targeted efforts to address this high-risk behavior. This session will examine the research and its implications for practice, providing examples of how campuses and national Greek organizations have begun to address this ongoing challenge.

Rodney French Blvd., New Bedford, MA Abstract: Salt marshes are globally distributed hotspots of biogeochemical cycling, and have large primary production and organic matter burial fluxes. Shallow (10s of cm deep) marshtop ponds cover large areas of salt marshes, and may change in extent and abundance with altered anthropogenic pressures. These environments are understudied compared to the grass covered marsh platform, and it is unclear how they contribute to marsh biological productivity or how a changing environment may alter primary production fluxes. Here, I present a time series of in-situ, natural abundance dissolved gas tracers in a salt marsh pond in Rowley, MA, over hourly to seasonal time scales. Community fluxes of gross primary production, net ecosystem metabolism, and respiration are evaluated. The novel triple oxygen isotope tracer is used to distinguish light an dark respiration; oxygen consumption in the light is shown to be much higher than in the dark in this system.

« 9/10 - 11/12 »	Formidable: Site Specific Installation by Kat Knutsen Location: Star Store, New Bedford , Purchase Street, New Bedford Cost: Free admission. Contact: University Art Gallery Description: College of Visual & Performing Arts (CVPA) presents a new site-specific installation by recent MFA graduate Kat Knutsen, entitled "Formidable" through November 12, 2015. After receiving her MFA in painting at UMass Dartmouth in 2014, Kat Knutsen (born 1984) began an artist residency at CVPA's Star Store Campus focusing on combining fiber arts and painting in her animations. Her work has since evolved towards installations that combine fiber art, painting, sculpture and music. As she says, "I keep an open mind with the materials I work with and explore the relationships between them. At the moment, my work is a conversation between the two-dimensional, three-dimensional and sound. 'Formidable' is a culmination of my experiences since I arrived in New Bedford in 2012. For me, the object of the jellyfish symbolizes the need to quickly adapt in the changing art world. The challenge of creating a dialogue between the textile objects, painting and music in this site-specific installation parallels my journey in building a career as a young artist today."

« 9/10 - 11/12 »	Formidable: Site Specific Installation by Kat Knutsen Location: Star Store, New Bedford , Purchase Street, New Bedford Cost: Free admission. Contact: University Art Gallery Description: College of Visual & Performing Arts (CVPA) presents a new site-specific installation by recent MFA graduate Kat Knutsen, entitled "Formidable" through November 12, 2015. After receiving her MFA in painting at UMass Dartmouth in 2014, Kat Knutsen (born 1984) began an artist residency at CVPA's Star Store Campus focusing on combining fiber arts and painting in her animations. Her work has since evolved towards installations that combine fiber art, painting, sculpture and music. As she says, "I keep an open mind with the materials I work with and explore the relationships between them. At the moment, my work is a conversation between the two-dimensional, three-dimensional and sound. 'Formidable' is a culmination of my experiences since I arrived in New Bedford in 2012. For me, the object of the jellyfish symbolizes the need to quickly adapt in the changing art world. The challenge of creating a dialogue between the textile objects, painting and music in this site-specific installation parallels my journey in building a career as a young artist today."

3:00 PM - 4:00 PM	Seminar: Development of Carbon Nanotubes for Acoustic Transduction Applications Location: Liberal Arts Building , 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA Cost: Free Contact: Computer and Information Science Department Description: Part of the Joint UMass Dartmouth – Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Seminar Series Speakers: Mr. Thomas R. Howarth and Mr. Christian R. Schumacher Naval Sea Systems Command, Division Newport, Newport, RI Location: Liberal Arts Building Room 117 Abstract: Traditional acoustic transduction sources typically begin with the generation of an electrical excitation pulsed through an amplifier into an electroacoustic material (such as a piezoelectric ceramic or piezocomposite or a magnetostrictive ferromagnetic compound) to create a mechanical vibration. This vibration is then converted into an acoustic wave to produce sound. The lower the preferred transmitting frequency (and hence, longer acoustic detection range) desired, the larger the size of conventional transducer is required. Often this means that for acoustic projectors producing sound at frequencies below a few kHz, that the electroacoustic device will need to be very large in order to produce very long sound waves. This has a limitation for incorporating low frequency, long range detection sonars on smaller autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The topic of our presentation is an acoustic source technology that relies on the conversion of thermal energy into acoustic energy. Though this principle of thermal acoustics is not new, it is the advent of carbon nanotube (CNT) materials that offers a potential means to provide low frequency sound in thin transduction packages. The discussions will begin with an overview of thermal acoustics and then introduce these initial U.S. Navy studies for incorporating the CNTs into a useable transduction device. These discussions will include a detailing of our recent and on-going efforts for the encapsulation and packaging. Biographies: Dr. Thomas R. Howarth is involved in the research, development, testing and evaluation (RDT&E) of acoustic transduction technologies with an emphasis on implementing recent laboratory materials into prototyping devices for U.S. Navy applications. In particular, he is a chief architect for developing piezocomposite materials and cymbal flextensionals into SONAR devices for acoustical applications. More recently Howarth has been conducting research with acoustical metamaterials and carbon nanotube transducers. Since 2000 he has been stationed at the Naval Sea Systems Command Division Newport in Newport, RI where he holds the Distinguished Chair for Transduction and Acoustic Sensors. Christian R. Schumacher graduated from Boston University with a BS in Mechanical Engineering and a MS in the area of Engineering Materials Science. His research at BU focused on applied materials processing, primarily focused on Solid State energy conversion devices, funding was provided by the Department of Energy (DOE). Christian started working for the Department of the Navy (DON), initially in two year Navy wide rotation program (NCWPD), during which he gained research experience working with NAVSEA, NRL, SPAWAR, and shipyard experience working on both surface ships and submarines. At the completion of the program, Christian accepted a full time position at NUWC in Code 8535: Energy and Propulsion Branch. Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to attend. Refreshments will be served. More information: Dr. Ramprasad Balasubramanian, 508.910.6919 or r.bala@umassd.edu.

« 9/18 - 11/15 »	Counterpoints: Colors, Layers, Lines Location: Star Store, New Bedford , Purchase Street, New Bedford Cost: Free admission Contact: University Art Gallery Description: The Exhibition "Counterpoints: Colors, Layers, Lines" at UMass Dartmouth University Art Gallery in New Bedford presents three very different, yet highly compatible women artists. While each of them uses strong, intense colors and the layering of various elements and lines, each artist's work is best described by one of the three words in the exhibition title. However, the almost psychedelic interpretation of colors in Friese's landscapes, the inclusion of photography or other unusual materials in Mandle's critical narratives and the underlying geometry and references to female imagery in Thorton's flowers all share an affinity towards abstraction while inspiring visitors to look closer to discover their inner logic.
