  • Veiling as Theory and Practice: Wearing Hejab in Iran
  • Location: Claire T. Carney Library , 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
  • Cost: NA
  • Contact: Art History Department
  • Description: Claire T. Carney Library | Room 215, Honors Seminar Room Abstract: Wearing hejab (Muslim modest dress; Muslim women's headscarf) is often assumed to be a simple indication of a woman's religious commitment. But in Iran, where all women (Muslim and non-Muslim, Iranian and foreigners) are required to dress modestly and cover their hair, the variations in a woman's modest street clothing and public head covering may indicate many things other than religion. How do women balance legal, practical, and personal requirements in the varieties of their everyday dress? This talk will address veiling as both public obligation and personal representation in the contemporary Islamic Republic of Iran. About the speaker: Dr. Norma Claire Moruzzi is Associate Professor of Political Science, Gender and Women's Studies, and History, Director of the International Studies Program, and chair of the Middle East and Muslim Societies Cluster at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her book Speaking through the Mask: Hannah Arendt and the Politics of Social Identity won the 2002 Gradiva Award, and she has published on women's and gender issues and cinema in Iran and the Middle East, is a consulting editor and former board member of the journal Middle East Report (MERIP). She is currently writing a book based on ten years of field work research in Iran, titled Tied Up in Tehran: Women, Social Change, and the Politics of Daily Life. Lecture is organized by Professor Pamela Karimi and in conjunction with Hons 203: Creating a Global Community [The Visual and Material Cultures of Islam] For questions contact: pamela.karimi@umassd.edu

  • An Evening with Stephon Alexander, the Scientist Behind "A Wrinkle in Time"
  • Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Stoico/FIRST FED Charitable Foundation Grand Reading Room
  • Cost: Free and open to the public
  • Contact: Robert Fisher
  • Description: The multi-talented Stephon Alexander, cosmologist, jazz recording artist, author, and science advisor for the film "A Wrinkle in Time," will be joining us the evening of Wednesday, April 25, from 5 PM - 7 PM in the Library's Stoico/FirstFed Grand Reading Room. From his official biography: "Stephon Alexander is a theoretical physicist specializing in the interface between cosmology, particle physics and quantum gravity. By night, he 'blows sax.' Born in Trinidad and raised in Bronx, NY, Alexander draws music heritage from Jazz, Caribbean Reggae and Hip Hop. His ambition in science is big--to unify quantum theory, Einstein's theory of relativity, and string theory, which have fascinated him since childhood, into a theory of quantum gravity! When he gets stuck, he turns to music like Einstein used to do, except his instrument for relaxation and subconscious realization is the tenor saxophone, instead of violin and piano." Prof. Alexander will be joined in conversation by Mwalim (Prof. Morgan Peters), Tiffany Ferreira '19, Tianna Edwards '18, and Prof. Robert Fisher. He will discuss his role as a scientist working in Hollywood, as well as his scientific and musical interests. For further information, please contact Prof. Fisher: robert.fisher@umassd.edu or 508.999.8353.

  • ECE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DISSERTATION DEFENSE BY: John C. Cochran
  • Location: Science & Engineering Building, Lester W. Cory Conference Room: Room 213A
  • Cost: Free
  • Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
  • Description: Topic: The General Theory of the Slotted Cylinder Projector (SCP) Transducer with Non-Uniform Velocity Distributions Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A Abstract: Electroacoustic piezoelectric transducers are used for underwater acoustics applications and there is a particular interest in compact low frequency source transducers. The thesis addresses the theory for the Slotted Cylinder Projector (SCP), a low frequency flexural mode device comprising a piezoelectric driver and a cylindrical passive shell with an axial slot. The thesis improves upon current work that addresses the uniform wall SCP with a general theory that explains the performance of both the uniform wall SCP and the tapered wall SCP. Tapering the shell thickness is shown to offer benefits to the electro-mechanical-acoustic performance. The second contribution to the field is a general approach for calculating the radiation impedance of radiating sources that have non-uniform velocity profiles. These two topics are addressed and then combined to provide a general theory for the analysis of the class of Slotted Cylinder Projector transducers. NOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend. All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public. Advisor: Dr. David A. Brown Committee Members: Dr. John R. Buck and Paul J. Gendron, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering; Dr. Corey L. Bachand, BTech Acoustics, LLC *For further information, please contact Dr. David A.

  • Bioengineering Seminar by Abigail Koppes, PhD
  • Location: Textiles Building 101E
  • Contact: Bioengineering Department
  • Description: Topic: Engineering the Gut-Brain Axis Abstract:The gut-brain axis is a complex bi-directional communication pathway between the gastrointestinal tract, the enteric nervous system(ENS), and the central nervous(CNS) that is implicated in not only gastrointestinal function, but also cognitive tasks like memory and decision making. Gastrointestinal flora have also been implicated in alterations of brain function and behavior, however, mechanisms behind the bidirectional, gut-to-brain communication remain poorly understood. To investigate the mechanisms for epithelial/neural interactions in the gastrointestinal tract and understand the impact of alterations in neural activity in response to intestinal contents, we are developing in vitro, humanized culture models of the enteric-gut axis. These platforms, termed "Organs on chips", have generated interest from academia and industry as these physiological models may augment drug and basic biological discoveries. However, the lack of rapid, scalab le, and facile manufacturing techniques have limited the reproducibility and ultimately the widespread use of organs-on-chips.Here I will discuss a novel laser-cut and assembly based fabrication method for simple, and cost-effective thermoplastic organ-chips. Current intestine-on-a-chip models utilize immortalized cells and do not include support cells such as enteric neurons. Finally, I will discuss the culture and differentiation of a primary, human epithelial monolayer from intestinal organoids for future on chip studies the recapitulate the heterogeneous gut population, and examine the impact of trophic cross-talk between the epithelium and enteric populations in static models. Biography: Dr. Koppes joined the department of Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University in 2014 where her group, the Advanced Biomaterials for Neuroengineering Laboratory (ABNEL), harness biochemical engineering methods to address challenges in nervous system disorders and dysfunction.

  • Sound Art Installation: To Scale
  • Location: Liberal Arts Building , 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
  • Contact: Art History Department
  • Description: Artist Andy Graydon presents To Scale (10,000 things for Mark Tobey). Originally created in 2014 for Seattle's Pike Place Market Hill Climb as a collaboration with Peter Bjordahl, this public art sound installation will be re-staged for a one-day-only sonic event within a stairwell in the UMass Dartmouth Liberal Arts (LARTS) building designed by Paul Rudolph. To Scale takes its inspiration from Seattle artist Mark Tobey's "white writing" paintings. Tobey began his career painting the teeming aspects of the material world and slowly moved to a gestural language of white marks that were the traces of those objects. Likewise, To Scale seeks to engage the world beyond its physical boundaries to give a sense of the city as an active force that emanates from the basic things surrounding us. This project is part of the Spring 2018 "Playing the Campus" event series hosted by UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA) faculty, staff, students, and invited guests. UMassD CVPA celebrates its brutalist residential campus with a number of public events dedicated to Paul Rudolph and his legacy. The series will include art installations, live performances, lectures, community forums, film screening, and an exhibition in the CVPA Campus Gallery. All events are free and open to the public. This program is organized by Dr. Rebecca Uchill, CVPA. Support for this program is sponsored in part by the UMass President's Creative Economy Initiatives Fund, 2017-2018.

  • Description: The School for Marine Science and Technology Department of Estuarine and Ocean Sciences Seminar Announcement "Activities and productivity of the Sub-Seafloor Biosphere at Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents" Dr. Stefan Sievert Associate Scientist Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute Wednesday, April 25, 2018 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm SMAST East, Rooms 101/102 836 S. Rodney French Blvd, New Bedford Abstract: Despite 40 years of research, knowledge of in situ metabolism of microbes carrying out carbon fixation in marine hydrothermal systems is still very limited. Particularly lacking are studies identifying the chemosynthetically active microbes and measuring rates of CO2 fixation in situ. Here, I present data from innovative incubations that maintained seafloor pressure and temperature for assessing chemoautotrophic production in deep-sea vent systems. Overall, our data provide a comprehensive view of the sub-seafloor biosphere underlying the studied vent site and its biogeochemical significance for the surrounding deep ocean.

  • Description: Department of Fisheries Oceanography Avenues of Marine Invertebrate Acclimatization in Response to Rapid Environmental Change Dr. Hollie Putnam Assistant Professor Department of Biological Sciences University of Rhode Island Wednesday, April 25, 2018 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm SMAST-E rm. 101/102 836 South Rodney French Boulevard, New Bedford, MA Abstract: The swiftly changing climate presents a challenge to organismal fitness by creating a mismatch between the current environment and phenotypes adapted to historic conditions. Rapid compensatory response to environmental change generated by epigenetic mechanisms and the emergent properties of symbiosis can provide a temporal buffer for genetic adaptation. My research focuses on these acclimatory mechanisms that may be especially crucial for sessile benthic marine systems, such as reef-building corals and bivalve mollusks, where climate change factors including ocean acidification and increasing temperature elicit strong negative physiological responses including bleaching, disease, and mortality. By integrating across biological scales from molecular to ecological in a series of preconditioning experiments to future temperature and ocean acidification, we documented evidence of intra and trans-generational acclimatization and parental effects in geoduck clams and corals. Furthermore, our findings support a role for Symbiodinium shuffling in coral holobiont performance and DNA methylation in phenotypic plasticity in corals. Induction of potentially heritable phenotypic plasticity via preconditioning or parental effects may provide mechanisms with significant implications for sessile marine organism persistence under rapid climate change.

  • ECE Oral Comprehensive Exam for Doctoral Candidacy By: Bentolhoda Jafary
  • Location: Science & Engineering Building, Lester W. Cory Conference Room: Room 213A
  • Cost: Free
  • Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
  • Description: Topic: Reliability and Maintenance Modeling of Systems Subject to Positive and Negatively Correlated Component Failure Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A ABSTRACT: A primary goal of maintenance is to minimize the consequences of component and system failures such as minimize cost and maximize availability. Two subcategories of maintenance actions include: preventive maintenance (PM) at predetermined time intervals prior to failure and emergency repair (ER) upon failure, where the cost and downtime of emergency repair is significantly greater than preventive maintenance. Traditional methods to model system reliability assume that the failures of the components comprising a system are statistically independent in order to simplify analysis. However, hundreds of empirical case studies have illustrated that component failures are often correlated. The independence assumption simplifies calculations, but is dangerous for safety critical systems that must be maintained because correlated failures can lower the mean time to failure, thereby increasing the probability that emergency repair will be required. Checkpointing is a technique to backup work at periodic intervals so that if computation fails it will not be necessary to restart from the beginning but will instead be able to restart from the latest checkpoint. Performing checkpointing operations requires time. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the tradeoff between the time to perform checkpointing operations and the time saved when computation restarts at a checkpoint. This proposal presents two contributions: (i) a method with an explicit correlation parameter to characterize the impact of correlated component failures on the optimal preventive maintenance interval of a system with arbitrary structure and (ii) a method to model the impact of correlated failures on a system that performs checkpointing.

  • Description: Topic: Dynamic Transportation Network Vulnerability Assessment and Mitigation Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A ABSTRACT: Transportation networks are critical to the social and economic function of nations. Given the continuing increase in the populations of cities throughout the world, the criticality of transportation infrastructure is expected to increase. Thus, it is ever more important to mitigate congestion as well as to assess the impact disruptions would have on individuals who depend on transportation for their work and livelihood. Most of the previous transportation network vulnerability research has been performed in the context of static traffic models, many of which are formulated as traditional optimization problems. However, transportation networks are dynamic because their usage varies over time. Thus, more appropriate methods to characterize the vulnerability of transportation networks should consider their dynamic properties. The two important prerequisites to build and test dynamic transportation network vulnerability assessment algorithms are (i) map extraction tools and (ii) an accurate network demand profile to test algorithms on these maps. This proposal describes the tools built to enable dynamic transportation network vulnerability assessment algorithms, including a discussion of the architecture of the software applications developed to extract maps and collect dynamic network demand data using a smartphone app. The proposal also presents a preliminary quantitative approach to assess the vulnerability of a transportation network to disruptions with methods from traffic simulation. Our approach can identify how link criticality varies over time and is generalizable to the case where both link and node disruptions are of concern. We illustrate the approach through a series of examples. Our results demonstrate that the approach provides quantitative insight into the time varying criticality of links. Such an approach could be used as the objective function of less traditional optimization methods that use simulation and other techniques to evaluate the relative utility of a particular network defense to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience. The open source nature of the tool allows us to systematically consider many disruption scenarios and quantitatively compare their relative criticality. This is far more efficient than traditional approaches which would require days or weeks of a transportation engineers time to manually set up, run, and assess these simulations.

  • Design Solutions for New Bedford & Fall River
  • Location: CCB 115
  • Contact: Art History Department
  • Description: Please join us for a presentation by Professor Ricardo Camacho and his students in the Masters Research Studio at Northeastern University's School of Architecture. Camacho and his students will present their yearlong studio research and design projects for Massachusetts Post-Industrial Cities. The presentation will be followed by a Q & A session moderated by Professors Pamela Karimi (Art History) and Andrea Klimt (Anthropology). About the Research Studio: Through a rigorous and comprehensive research on the historical, political and economic development of building typology and urban form in Fall River and New Bedford, a group of Northeastern University graduate students prepared a research document and proposed a series of architectural and urban solutions. During the course of two semesters in the 2017-2018 academic year, the group interacted with city officials, studied governmental reports and policies for the regeneration of the historical centers, residential neighborhoods, abandoned textile mills and the waterfront. Through their design proposals, these students address the specific limitations of the real estate market, infrastructural equipment and transportation. About Professor Ricardo Camacho: Ricardo Camacho is an architect with offices in Lisbon(PT), Kuwait(KW) and Salem(USA). He received his professional degrees from the FAULisbon, Politecnico Milano and Harvard's Graduate School of Design. He currently teaches architectural design at Kuwait University and Northeastern University. Ricardo is co-author of the projects CasaGranturismo and Resilient Coastal Environments for the urban and landscape renewal of Portuguese and Croatian coasts. He has also co-authored a survey of Portuguese contemporary architecture Habitar Portugal 2006/2009 and two volumes on Modern Architecture Kuwait. Ricardo is currently working on a forthcoming publication by Actar on "Pan-Arab Architecture" and developing museum exhibition projects in Tehran and Abu Dhabi. This event is part of the Urban Studies Minor Lecture Series and is supported by the Urban Studies Program, UMass Dartmouth's Provost Seminar Series, the College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Art History Club. **The event will take place on April 26 (4-6pm) @CCB 115 Light refreshments will be served

  • Non-Event: Sonic Section Perspectives (For Paul Rudolph)
  • Location: CVPA Auditorium , CVPA-153
  • Contact: Art History Department
  • Description: Sonic Section Perspectives (For Paul Rudolph) presented by Non-Event When: Friday, April 27, 2018 3-5pm, Where: Atrium, CVPA Building, UMass Dartmouth Sonic Section Perspectives (For Paul Rudolph) is an environmental sound performance conceived by Jose Rivera and Michael Rosenstein for six participant-collaborators. The one-hour composition draws on field recordings made within architectural spaces designed by Paul Rudolph throughout the Boston region. For its premiere performance, presented by Non-Event, Sonic Section Perspectives will be performed on multiple levels of the UMassD Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts central atrium, with an introduction by Chris Grimley. Performance participants: Jose Rivera (aka Proxemia) is an architecturally trained multimedia artist who creates electroacoustic and experimental sound works. He explores the intersections of aural and spatial experience through multi-channel installation and performance, aural cartography, architectural design, and environmental sound recording. He studied sound and art in MIT's program of Art, Culture, and Technology. http://www.proxemiasound.net/ Michael Rosenstein explores the interaction of acoustic and electronic sounds in collectively improvised settings. In his music, he uses amplified surfaces, oscillators and home-made electronics, distressed field recordings, harmonics and overtones, exploiting and feeding off of the resultant unstable sonic events. http://www.variantstate.com/michael-rosenstein/ Matthew Azevedo (aka Retribution Body) is a musician, audio engineer, teacher, and acoustician currently based in Boston whose performance practice is centered on creating unique, immersive sound environments. His primary solo project Retribution Body uses analog electronics, high amplification, and a custom speaker array capable of reproducing subsonic energy to explore the mental and emotional states which arise in Zen meditation. https://retributionbody.bandcamp.com Rachel Devorah is a Boston-based sonic artist, technologist, and social ontologist whose works for performance and installation engage the poetics of their specific context. She studied at the City University of New York (BMus), Mills College (MA), and the University of Virginia (PhD - in progress); is currently informationist at the Berklee College of Music; and will be the 2018-2019 MultiDisciplinary Fellow at the Adrian Piper Foundation, Berlin. http://racheldevorah.studio/ Nicole L'Huillier is a transdisciplinary artist, musician and architect based in Boston. She is currently working as a PhD researcher at the MIT Media Lab in the Opera of The Future group. Her work explores spatial experience, perception and the relationship between sound & space. http://nicolelhuillier.com Nika Nika (aka Nika) a sonic artist. She earned her PhD in electrical engineering at MIT and is currently a postdoctoral researcher at MIT, interested in the practice of energy, nature, sound, and nanotechnology. Her octophonic works, including original music for the play Einstein's Dreams, have been heard at MIT, Dreamscapes, and Arisia. Analog synthesizers, such as a vintage multi-panel Serge that she restored, feature prominently in many of her works. PRESENTER: Non-Event (Susanna Bolle, Executive & Artistic Director) is an independent experimental sound and music series, based in Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 2001, members have presented over 360 concerts by local, national, and international artists in traditional and non-traditional spaces in and around the city. In recent years, Non-Event has organized large site-specific and site-responsive performances for iconic buildings, such as the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum and the giant interior mezzanine of Boston's brutalist City Hall. More info: http://nonevent.org/ Introduction: Chris Grimley is a partner at the firm over,under, an interdisciplinary practice that creates built environments and designed experiences through the lens of advocacy. His co-authored book, Heroic: Concrete Architecture and the New Boston has been awarded honors by Docomomo and the Boston Preservation Alliance. In addition, he curates the pinkcomma gallery, is a co-founder of Design Biennial Boston, and released the Boston Brutalist Map, published by Blue Crow Media, in 2017. This performance is part of the spring 2018 series "Playing the Campus," during which the UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA) celebrates its brutalist residential campus with public events dedicated to Paul Rudolph and his legacy. This series will include art installations, live performances, lectures, film screenings, community forums, tours, and an exhibition in the CVPA Campus Gallery, "A Visionary Campus: Paul Rudolph and UMass Dartmouth." All events are free and open to the public. https://www.umassd.edu/cvpa/galleries/ Organized by Dr. Rebecca Uchill

  • Description: Topic: INFORMATION SECURITY IN THE WEARABLE INTERNET OF THINGS Location: College of Engineering Conference Room, Textiles Building (TXT), Room 101E Abstract: Recent years have seen the emergence of the wearable IoT (Internet of Things). The WIoT is composed of sensor-based systems that go beyond existing fitness trackers and have the capability to monitor a user's vital signs and other physiological markers (e.g., ECG, glucose, and blood pressure). Such WIoT systems hold great promise for a variety of applications, from enabling novel biometrics to wellness, and even fashion. In this talk I present two of my projects related to maintaining information-security properties for these WIoT systems. In the first part of my talk I will present a data-driven approach that can detect data-manipulation attacks (i.e., adversaries try to introduce bad patient-state information into the system) on medical WIoT systems in real-time. The second part of my talk is about a novel authentication solution for Smart Eyewear WIoT devices that use the wearer's blinking pattern and subtle head movements as a biometric. Biography: Dr. Krishna Venkatasubramanian is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. Prior to coming to WPI, he was a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, USA. His research interests include security and fault-tolerance in the wearable internet of things, medical cyber-physical systems, biometrics, and assistive cybersecurity technologies. He has co-authored a book titled Body Area Networks: Safety, Security and Sustainability published by Cambridge University Press in 2013. His research has been featured on CBS News, the Discovery Channel website, Clinical Innovations and Technology magazine, and IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology magazine. More information on his research activities can be found at: http://hibou.cs.wpi.edu/~kven/wordpress. The Seminars is open to the public free of charge. *For further information, please contact Dr. Honggang Wang at 508.999.8469, or by via email at hwang1@umassd.edu.
