« 4/16 - 5/1 »	Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940) Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts , 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA Contact: University Art Gallery Description: Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940) Exhibition Dates: April 16 - May 1 Opening Reception: Thursday, Apr 16, 4 - 6 PM with the Gallery Talk at 5 PM Printmaking workshop: Thursday, April 23, 5-7 PM Artists: Jessie Willcox Smith, Sarah Wyman Whitman, Eliza Draper Gardiner, Anna Brewster Richards, Blanche Ames, Theodosia Chase, Elizabeth Shippen Green, Emma Swan, Angela O'Leary, Allen Sisters, Mabel May Woodward, Grace Albee, Helen Watson Phelps, Alice Barbara Stephens, Ellen Dale Hale, Lena Newscastle and Mabel Dewit Eldred. The University of Massachusetts Art History Department presents an exhibition entitled, Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890 - 1940). This show, which is part of the Senior Art History Capstone class at UMass Dartmouth, will feature paintings, illustrations, book cover designs and photographs created by professional late nineteenth and early twentieth century women artists from Philadelphia to Maine. The exhibition is open between April 15 and May 1, 2015 at the CVPA Campus Gallery, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 285 Old Westport Road, North Dartmouth, MA 02747. All are invited to the reception and gallery talk on Thursday, Apr 16, 4 - 6 PM. The exhibition poses the question, "Why don't we know about these successful and prolific women artists of the Modernist period?" These women were accomplished artists, leaders within the art world and participated in many art related endeavors. They were involved in the establishment of art societies throughout North East, attended and taught students at prestigious art schools, studied aboard in Europe, and led successful and profitable business careers. For example, Jessie Willcox Smith illustrated every cover of Good Housekeeping from 1917 to April 1933, representing more than 292 illustrations; similar to Norman Rockwell's contribution to the Saturday Evening Post; yet recognition of Smith's professional accomplishments are often overlooked within traditional canon of art history. This is just one story of many that will be explored in the exhibition. The exhibition is a project of the Art History Senior Seminar class, composed of sixteen art history upperclassmen. Through this course students applied their academic and professional knowledge to a real world experience. Students expanded their skill-sets within the fields of art history, art, design and museum studies, through their exhibition research, writing, interpretation, exhibition and graphic design, collection care, and visitor relations. Students also learned to work collaboratively, writing and editing the catalog, developing the exhibition design, installing the exhibition and developing public programming. We would like to thank those individuals who generously loaned works from their private collections and to those institutions including Providence Art Club, Bert Gallery, Providence Athenaeum, Boston Public Library, Smith College, UMass Amherst and New Bedford Public Library who agreed to contribution to the exhibition, "Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940)" Please visit also our Sister Exhibition at Gallery X, titled "Providence to Provincetown: Contemporary Women" (April 15 - May 3, 2015, Opening Reception: April 18, 7-10 PM.

3:30 PM - 4:30 PM	Computational Science Seminar Location: Textiles Building 105 Contact: Center for Scientific Computing and Visualization Research Description: The Center for Scientific Computing and Visualization Research announces the following seminar. Speaker: Alex Townsend (MIT) Title: "Continuous Analogues of Matrix Factorizations" Time: Tuesday, April 21, 2015, 3:30pm-4:30pm Location: Textiles 105 Abstract: A fundamental idea in matrix linear algebra is the factorization of a matrix into simpler matrices, such as orthogonal, tridiagonal, and triangular. In this talk we extend this idea to a continuous setting, asking: "What are the continuous analogues of matrix factorizations?" The answer we develop involves functions of two variables, an iterative variant of Gaussian elimination, and sufficient conditions for convergence. This leads to a test for non-negative definite kernels, a continuous definition of a triangular quasimatrix (a matrix whose columns are functions), and a fresh perspective on a classic subject.

The University of Massachusetts Art History Department presents an exhibition entitled, Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890 - 1940). This show, which is part of the Senior Art History Capstone class at UMass Dartmouth, will feature paintings, illustrations, book cover designs and photographs created by professional late nineteenth and early twentieth century women artists from Philadelphia to Maine. The exhibition is open between April 15 and May 1, 2015 at the CVPA Campus Gallery, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 285 Old Westport Road, North Dartmouth, MA 02747. All are invited to the reception and gallery talk on Thursday, Apr 16, 4 - 6 PM. The exhibition poses the question, "Why don't we know about these successful and prolific women artists of the Modernist period?" These women were accomplished artists, leaders within the art world and participated in many art related endeavors. They were involved in the establishment of art societies throughout North East, attended and taught students at prestigious art schools, studied aboard in Europe, and led successful and profitable business careers. For example, Jessie Willcox Smith illustrated every cover of Good Housekeeping from 1917 to April 1933, representing more than 292 illustrations; similar to Norman Rockwell's contribution to the Saturday Evening Post; yet recognition of Smith's professional accomplishments are often overlooked within traditional canon of art history. This is just one story of many that will be explored in the exhibition. The exhibition is a project of the Art History Senior Seminar class, composed of sixteen art history upperclassmen. Through this course students applied their academic and professional knowledge to a real world experience. Students expanded their skill-sets within the fields of art history, art, design and museum studies, through their exhibition research, writing, interpretation, exhibition and graphic design, collection care, and visitor relations. Students also learned to work collaboratively, writing and editing the catalog, developing the exhibition design, installing the exhibition and developing public programming. We would like to thank those individuals who generously loaned works from their private collections and to those institutions including Providence Art Club, Bert Gallery, Providence Athenaeum, Boston Public Library, Smith College, UMass Amherst and New Bedford Public Library who agreed to contribution to the exhibition, "Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940)" Please visit also our Sister Exhibition at Gallery X, titled "Providence to Provincetown: Contemporary Women" (April 15 - May 3, 2015, Opening Reception: April 18, 7-10 PM.

McHale Location: Textiles Building 101E Contact: Mechanical Engineering Department Description: The Mechanical Engineering Department is pleased to announce the MS PROJECT DEFENSE of Mr. Jonathan P. McHale April 23, 2015 3:00 p.m. â€“ 5:00 p.m. Textile Building, Room 101E TOPIC: Raising Productivity and Reducing Direct Labor in an Insulated Glass Assembly Line ABSTRACT: Improving productivity while reducing remakes and the cost of a unit is critical in any manufacturing environment. This report will highlight areas where improvements to productivity and production flow were gained while reducing the cost of a unit. The improvements were enhanced by addressing ongoing quality issues in a critical manufacturing assembly line. Analyzing different support departments such as Quality Assurance and Maintenance while cross referencing production needs and availability were instrumental in both proposing and implementing process improvements and procedural changes. In order to isolate and assess the impact of the findings of this project the system was broken down into departments and objectives. The objectives included the following: Improving productivity, reducing machine downtime, reducing cost per unit, overviewing Quality Assurance procedures, improving Maintenance/Preventive Maintenance procedures, and optimizing usage of material. Upon the conclusion of the project, the cost of each unit was reduced by 1.27%, and productivity was raised by 3.86%. By 2/28/15, the cost per unit was reduced by 3.82% and overall productivity was increased by 7.41%. These improvements were made after implementing changes to increase capacity and improve work flow, integrating an adaptive preventive maintenance program, procedural changes to employees, lead people, supervisors, improving data tracking, and utilizing simulation software. ADVISOR: Dr. Farhad Azadivar COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Dr. Farhad Azadivar, Dr. Wenzhen Huang, Dr. Soheil Sibdari Open to the public. All MNE students are encouraged to attend.

Bach April 24, 2015 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Textile Building, Room 101E TOPIC: FABRICATION AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF NATURAL SANDWICH COMPOSITES ABSTRACT: This study examined the flexural and impact properties of natural biodegradable sandwich composites. Sandwich composites consisted of mushroom foam (core material), hard woods (skin layers), and a natural glue (adhesive layer). Mass density and compression testing were conducted to determine the mechanical properties of four different foams. Results indicated that the medium density mushroom foam was the more optimal choice because there were no significant difference in compression properties and it had a better machinability. There were 4 variables that were used for the sandwich composites which were all associated with the skin layer selection; no wood, 1/16 inch hickory, 1/8 inch white oak and 1/8 inch hickory. The sandwich composite with the hickory wood performed the best, (0.255 MPa), which corresponded with previous work because hickory has a higher modulus of elasticity. The flexural energy was also calculated from the 3 point bending yielding the hickory absorbing more than the other sample types as well, absorbing the most energy (44.5 J). The high strain rate impact loading was conducted at two different velocities by using a gas gun assembly. At low impact velocities, no significant difference in the impact energy for different sandwich composites was noticed. However for the higher impact velocities, the hickory absorbed more than the white oak (99.9 J to 78.0 J).

« 4/16 - 5/1 »	Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940) Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts , 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA Contact: University Art Gallery Description: Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940) Exhibition Dates: April 16 - May 1 Opening Reception: Thursday, Apr 16, 4 - 6 PM with the Gallery Talk at 5 PM Printmaking workshop: Thursday, April 23, 5-7 PM Artists: Jessie Willcox Smith, Sarah Wyman Whitman, Eliza Draper Gardiner, Anna Brewster Richards, Blanche Ames, Theodosia Chase, Elizabeth Shippen Green, Emma Swan, Angela O'Leary, Allen Sisters, Mabel May Woodward, Grace Albee, Helen Watson Phelps, Alice Barbara Stephens, Ellen Dale Hale, Lena Newscastle and Mabel Dewit Eldred. The University of Massachusetts Art History Department presents an exhibition entitled, Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890 - 1940). This show, which is part of the Senior Art History Capstone class at UMass Dartmouth, will feature paintings, illustrations, book cover designs and photographs created by professional late nineteenth and early twentieth century women artists from Philadelphia to Maine. The exhibition is open between April 15 and May 1, 2015 at the CVPA Campus Gallery, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 285 Old Westport Road, North Dartmouth, MA 02747. All are invited to the reception and gallery talk on Thursday, Apr 16, 4 - 6 PM. The exhibition poses the question, "Why don't we know about these successful and prolific women artists of the Modernist period?" These women were accomplished artists, leaders within the art world and participated in many art related endeavors. They were involved in the establishment of art societies throughout North East, attended and taught students at prestigious art schools, studied aboard in Europe, and led successful and profitable business careers. For example, Jessie Willcox Smith illustrated every cover of Good Housekeeping from 1917 to April 1933, representing more than 292 illustrations; similar to Norman Rockwell's contribution to the Saturday Evening Post; yet recognition of Smith's professional accomplishments are often overlooked within traditional canon of art history. This is just one story of many that will be explored in the exhibition. The exhibition is a project of the Art History Senior Seminar class, composed of sixteen art history upperclassmen. Through this course students applied their academic and professional knowledge to a real world experience. Students expanded their skill-sets within the fields of art history, art, design and museum studies, through their exhibition research, writing, interpretation, exhibition and graphic design, collection care, and visitor relations. Students also learned to work collaboratively, writing and editing the catalog, developing the exhibition design, installing the exhibition and developing public programming. We would like to thank those individuals who generously loaned works from their private collections and to those institutions including Providence Art Club, Bert Gallery, Providence Athenaeum, Boston Public Library, Smith College, UMass Amherst and New Bedford Public Library who agreed to contribution to the exhibition, "Women Artists: The Untold Story (1890-1940)" Please visit also our Sister Exhibition at Gallery X, titled "Providence to Provincetown: Contemporary Women" (April 15 - May 3, 2015, Opening Reception: April 18, 7-10 PM.
