Narcan Opiate Overdose Prevention Training
- Location: MacLean Campus Center, Conference Room, Room 201
, UMass Dartmouth, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA 02747
- Cost: Free!
- Contact: LiveWell: Office of Health Education, Promotion, & Wellness
- Description: Opioid overdose is the leading cause of injury death in Massachusetts. In an overdose, opioids can slow breathing to the point of death. Naloxone, otherwise known as Narcan, blocks the opioids and restores normal breathing when sprayed into the nose of someone who has overdosed. It is safe, easy to administer, and has no potential for abuse.
Participants in this training will learn how to recognize signs of an overdose, perform rescue breathing, + administer Narcan.
This free training is provided by Seven Hills. Light refreshments will be served.

Weaving with Light
- Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Cost: Free Admission
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: Weaving with Light
CVPA Campus Gallery
Reception: Thursday, February 18 from 4-6 pm with the artist talk at 5 pm
UMass Dartmouth College of Visual & Performing Arts faculty and students are presenting their interactive Weaving with Light exhibition, recently showcased at the premier art fair SOFA CHICAGO through March 3, at the University's Campus Gallery. The installation pays tribute to the nearby city of New Bedford and its historical connection to the textile industry. A reception is scheduled for Thursday, February 18 from 4-6 p.m. with the artist talk at 5 pm at the gallery.
The Weaving With Light exhibition was designed to be highly interactive, enticing visitors to participate in the actual production of cloth, drawing their attention to the making process used by contemporary fiber artists. Within the exhibition, several operational single-person looms are arranged in a semicircle accompanied by the vintage still photos of mill buildings, interiors, and workers to illustrate some of the actual operations and conditions of historic mill life.
"Every step of the process has involved the discovery and problem solving aspects of design and making and realizing the full potential of the project through innovative methods, research and observation, material sourcing and testing, and overarching aesthetic decisions," Professor Hamlin said leading up to SOFA CHICAGO. "The students have extended themselves in both their intellectual and physical stamina."
The warp yarns that feed each loom rise from the front of the loom to a rattle gathering at the top of the wall. The ascending yarns create the illusion of an enclosed space to emulate the conditions of mill life.
Students and faculty traveled to Chicago this past November for the prestigious art exhibition dedicated to Sculpture, Objects and Functional Art (SOFA). Working on the Weaving with Light installation includes MFA Ceramics student Hanna Vogel, MFA Graphic Design student Kate Dickinson, MFA Wood/Furniture Design student John Middleton, MFA Digital Media student Alec Andersen, and BFA Textile Design/Fiber Arts students Tony Beal and Christopher Rogers. The group is being advised by Artisanry Professor James Lawton with assistance from Charlotte Hamlin, who serves as CVPA's coordinator for graduate studies and research, as well as CVPA Professional Technician Shingo Furukawa.
UMass Dartmouth was one of six entries selected for prestigious university art exhibition in Chicago, including Illinois Institute of Technology, Pratt Institute, San Diego State University, University of Cincinnati, and University of Iowa. SOFA CHICAGO ranked #7 in the USA Today Reader's Choice 10 Best Art Events.
UMass Dartmouth's CVPA Campus Gallery is located on the first floor of the CVPA Building on the Main Campus (285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA 02747). Gallery hours are Monday-Thursday 10am-4pm and Friday 10am-noon.

Abstract:
Multi-vehicle cooperation and coordination requires communication between vehicles to be effective. A great deal of progress has been made in multi-vehicle coordination using traditional wireless networks, among unmanned ground vehicles. In underwater environments, communication is limiting and difficult. In this talk we will present some progress we have made in improving multi-vehicle autonomy via strategies to overcoming the communication challenges.
There are many different Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols that are aimed at improving overall performance of underwater acoustic networks. One such MAC protocol is time division multiple access (TDMA), which assigns network nodes slots that allow each node to communicate during its own time frame. One of the biggest issues with TDMA is the latency that is introduced by assigning time slots. If a node needs to communicate it may have to wait multiple time slots before it is able to transmit. This is especially problematic in mobile networks that are event driven. By making TDMA more flexible and dynamic we hope to overcome some of the latency issues with TDMA. We show one approach to help mitigate latency issues with TDMA in a mobile underwater acoustic network using Mission Oriented Operating Suite (MOOS) as the back-seat driver. Results from several realistic scenarios are presented.
