Night, Thursday February 10, 6-8 pm \| Artist Talk: 6:30 pm CLOSING RECEPTION: AHA! Night, Thursday, March 10, 6-8 pm Reserve your free ticket for the opening and closing: umassdartmouthgalleries.eventbrite.com Facebook + Instagram @ UMassDartmouthGalleries For additional information, please go to: umassd.edu/cvpa/galleries Contact: Viera Levitt, Gallery Director and Exhibition Curator The UMass Dartmouth University Art Gallery at Star Store Campus, Downtown New Bedford has the pleasure to invite you to the exhibition titled, Two of a Kind, featuring large scale photographs of paint by Abelardo Morell in conversation with paintings by Anthony Fisher. This exhibition presents two creative approaches that focus on the abstract image- Abelardo Morell's incredibly lush and sensual photographs of fresh paint frozen in time with the help of light, fast exposure and flash, and Anthony Fisher's ingeniously captured lines and shapes featured on layered, monochromatic abstract paintings. Both Morell and Fisher share a restless urgency to invent novel ways to play with traditional media, subjects, and methods. In their respective studios in the same creative community just outside of Boston, each pours their unique experimentation into their own patient and carefully crafted process. Results sometimes arrive as wonderful surprises transformed into bold work that the visitor can almost enter - inspiring, open minded, and deeply creative. Abelardo Morell admires Anthony's work because he, "like me, thinks a lot about how a picture is made. Subject matter for him is, of course, important, but it is within his working process that the subject emerges. Anthony has used all sorts of devices to make marks on the canvas - perhaps to get his ego out of the way a bit." Anthony Fisher's studio process involves quirky and lumbering invented tools, physical struggle, gravity, chemistry, and physics to allow hundreds of marks to be thrown onto a canvas all at once. "My process is specifically designed for EXCESS- with so many visual ideas emerging at once, the overwhelmingly vast majority are discarded. I want the unexpected. My goal is to spark ideas that otherwise wouldn't appear with a more deliberative, considered approach," says Fisher. Abelardo Morell explains his admiration for the subject matter of his photographs, "When I visit museums, my eyes often take me first to the painting galleries. I marvel at the surfaces of paintings, which contain their own visual dramas, often independent of any narrative or formal aspect of the work. A difference between us as a photographer and painter is that photographers normally start with the world, while painters begin with a blank canvas and end up at times with astonishing creations." Morell's photographs show "that substance on its way to drying- a stage that finished paintings can never retain. "I also use other lighting sources pointed at a low angle to increase the raking light effects on the thick paint surface. I like the translucent and geometric visual marriages achieved through this method. Because what I am making are not "paintings" in their own right, I am able to quote and crop discrete small paint details to make them play a big role in the final picture." Created specifically for this exhibition and presented at the gallery's entrance is another visual surprise that underlines the connection between these two artists, neighbors and friends- a photograph of Abelardo Morell titled, "Paint: After Anthony Fisher's 2021 Painting 'Some Will Still Be Standing', 2022" right next to the actual painting that inspired this work. Free tickets are available for the opening and closing reception during AHA! Night, Thursday February 10, 6-8 pm (Artist Talk starts at 6:30 pm) and AHA!

This array extends from the Cape Cod National Seashore in the north to Cape Hatteras in the south. This talk will give an overview of the radar operating system, the importance of the measurements and an application to a new gap filling method. The gap filling method uses the eigenfunction equation in polar coordinates to develop a set of basis functions to which the available radial data from two radar sites are fit using a least squares method. The results indicate that the method is robust at filling gaps and it will be shown that the solution is able to capture events such as tidal eddies in the vicinity of Nantucket Sound. ******************************************************************************** Join Zoom Meeting https://umassd.zoom.us/j/97440069270?pwd=L2Z1bDZESTFCKzJYZWduYVhWenYvZz09 Meeting ID: 974 4006 9270 Passcode: 428029 One tap mobile +13017158592,,97440069270#,,,,428029# US (Washington DC) +13126266799,,97440069270#,,,,428029# US (Chicago) Dial by your location +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 646 876 9923 US (New York) +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) Meeting ID: 974 4006 9270 Passcode: 428029 Find your local number: https://umassd.zoom.us/u/adtxYu9NMO Join by SIP 97440069270@zoomcrc.com Join by H.323 162.255.37.11 (US West) 162.255.36.11 (US East) 115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai) 115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad) 213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands) 213.244.140.110 (Germany) 103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney) 103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne) 149.137.40.110 (Singapore) 64.211.144.160 (Brazil) 149.137.68.253 (Mexico) 69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto) 65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver) 207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo) 149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka) Meeting ID: 974 4006 9270 Passcode: 428029 ******************************************************************************** For additional information, please contact Sue Silva at s1silva@umassd.edu.

Night, Thursday, March 10, 6-8 pm Reserve your free ticket for the opening and closing: umassdartmouthgalleries.eventbrite.com Facebook + Instagram @ UMassDartmouthGalleries For additional information, please go to: umassd.edu/cvpa/galleries Contact: Viera Levitt, Gallery Director and Exhibition Curator The UMass Dartmouth University Art Gallery at Star Store Campus, Downtown New Bedford has the pleasure to invite you to the exhibition titled, Two of a Kind, featuring large scale photographs of paint by Abelardo Morell in conversation with paintings by Anthony Fisher. This exhibition presents two creative approaches that focus on the abstract image- Abelardo Morell's incredibly lush and sensual photographs of fresh paint frozen in time with the help of light, fast exposure and flash, and Anthony Fisher's ingeniously captured lines and shapes featured on layered, monochromatic abstract paintings. Both Morell and Fisher share a restless urgency to invent novel ways to play with traditional media, subjects, and methods. In their respective studios in the same creative community just outside of Boston, each pours their unique experimentation into their own patient and carefully crafted process. Results sometimes arrive as wonderful surprises transformed into bold work that the visitor can almost enter - inspiring, open minded, and deeply creative. Abelardo Morell admires Anthony's work because he, "like me, thinks a lot about how a picture is made. Subject matter for him is, of course, important, but it is within his working process that the subject emerges. Anthony has used all sorts of devices to make marks on the canvas - perhaps to get his ego out of the way a bit." Anthony Fisher's studio process involves quirky and lumbering invented tools, physical struggle, gravity, chemistry, and physics to allow hundreds of marks to be thrown onto a canvas all at once. "My process is specifically designed for EXCESS- with so many visual ideas emerging at once, the overwhelmingly vast majority are discarded. I want the unexpected. My goal is to spark ideas that otherwise wouldn't appear with a more deliberative, considered approach," says Fisher. Abelardo Morell explains his admiration for the subject matter of his photographs, "When I visit museums, my eyes often take me first to the painting galleries. I marvel at the surfaces of paintings, which contain their own visual dramas, often independent of any narrative or formal aspect of the work. A difference between us as a photographer and painter is that photographers normally start with the world, while painters begin with a blank canvas and end up at times with astonishing creations." Morell's photographs show "that substance on its way to drying- a stage that finished paintings can never retain. "I also use other lighting sources pointed at a low angle to increase the raking light effects on the thick paint surface. I like the translucent and geometric visual marriages achieved through this method. Because what I am making are not "paintings" in their own right, I am able to quote and crop discrete small paint details to make them play a big role in the final picture." Created specifically for this exhibition and presented at the gallery's entrance is another visual surprise that underlines the connection between these two artists, neighbors and friends- a photograph of Abelardo Morell titled, "Paint: After Anthony Fisher's 2021 Painting 'Some Will Still Be Standing', 2022" right next to the actual painting that inspired this work.

3:00 PM - 4:30 PM	Reflective Practice to Avoid Burnout Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Room 213 Contact: Office of Faculty Development Description: Facilitators: Kari Mofford, Health Services and Engineering Librarian, Claire T. Carney Library, UMass Dartmouth & Kimberly Burke Sweetman, Associate Dean of the University Library, University of New Hampshire Location: Office of Faculty Development, Library 213 Self-care and preventing burnout, whether we are working on campus or at home during a pandemic, are significant professional concerns. This presentation describes the practical self-care strategy of intentionally building awareness of work habits to increase understanding of how different types of work influence our energy levels. By using our calendars as a way to openly examine our workdays and reflecting on the impact that a variety of workplace endeavors have on personal wellbeing, we can take agency to make small changes in our days for a positive influence on our energy levels, engagement, and quality of life. Join Kari Mofford (Health Services and Engineering Librarian, UMass Dartmouth Library) and Kimberly Burke Sweetman (Associate Dean of the University Library, University of New Hampshire) will discuss the importance of and how to reflect on their scheduling to identify long-term and short-term changes that will help in preventing burnout and creating a healthier schedule. Participants will also consider the degree to which they have control over their calendar, as acknowledging this reality is helpful in creating a mindful approach.

These products will support fisheries management decisions, such as essential fish habitat designations, stock assessments, and spatial management. This presentation will review the range of products under development, including single-species and joint habitat distribution models, an inventory of fish and habitat data, a habitat/fish climate vulnerability crosswalk, a web-based R-shiny data viewer, and more. Final product development and vetting is occurring now, and results will be available in late spring. The three-year assessment will formally conclude in July 2022, but long-term maintenance plans are under development. ******************************************************************************** Zoom Link https://umassd.zoom.us/j/93758230260?pwd=OHJ5UDloQkZZaCtXcTlBNlR6Qm0rQT09 Meeting ID: 937 5823 0260 Passcode: 426839 One tap mobile +13017158592,,93758230260#,,,,426839# US (Washington DC) +13126266799,,93758230260#,,,,426839# US (Chicago) Dial by your location +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 646 876 9923 US (New York) +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) Find your local number: https://umassd.zoom.us/u/acosTPRs4V ******************************************************************************** For additional information, please contact Sue Silva at s1silva@umassd.edu Topical Areas: School for Marine Sciences and Technology, SMAST Seminar Series

3:30 PM - 5:30 PM	Mechanical Engineering MS Thesis Defense by Mr. Nathaniel Joyal Location: Online Contact: Mechanical Engineering Department Description: Mechanical Engineering MS Thesis Defense by Mr. Nathaniel Joyal DATE: February 10, 2022 TIME: 3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. ZOOM LOCATION: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/97680493591 Please contact Dr. Caiwei Shen (cshen2@umassd.edu, 508-999-8449) for Meeting ID and Passcode. TOPIC: Composite All-Solid-State Supercapacitors for Structural Energy Storage Applications ABSTRACT: Increasing reliance on electronic devices and vehicles has generated the need for better power supply systems to meet the demands of the user, be it a phone's battery life or a vehicle's range. To better utilize the mass of these systems development of multi-functional composites that store electrical energy and provide structural support simultaneously is needed. Composites structural supercapacitors are promising candidates with their high power density, high cyclability, and safety. This work first examines the creation of a new all-solid-state polymer electrolyte that outperforms previous reports in terms of electrochemical interface and mechanical stiffness, and then elaborates the composite supercapacitor device made out of it. The solid electrolytes in this study rely on the formation of a solid solution of thermoplastic polymers and lithium salts, which can have their properties altered after exposure to humidity. It was observed that altering the salt used, the amount of salt in the solution, the humidity the electrolyte was exposed to all had a significant effect on both its electrochemical and mechanical performance. Through the alteration of these three factors, the best sample tested showed the greatest interfacial capacitance and the highest flexural modulus of electrolytes reported in the literature. The creation of a fully functional composite structural supercapacitor composed of our solid electrolyte, carbon fiber electrodes, and a glass fiber separator is covered. Using the new solid electrolyte, the process for the creation of the multi-functional composite in lab scale was created, and the electrochemical properties of the composite were characterized. These results lay the foundation for the future development of large-scale, practical structural supercapacitors.
