12:00 PM - 1:00 PM	Share Your Research: Replication Research, Basics and Exemplars Location: > See description for location Contact: Office of Faculty Development Description: Facilitated by Melissa Desroches, Assistant Professor, Community Nursing, College of Nursing and Health Sciences Office of Faculty Development: Claire T. Carney Library Room 213 Replicating research studies in diverse settings and populations helps to researchers to understand the extent to which their existing study findings are generalizable. Researchers who have completed a research study with limited sample diversity may be left with questions as to whether their findings apply to more diverse samples. Or, perhaps researchers want to investigate the extent to which their findings are generalizable to a wider population. This presentation will provide an overview of key considerations for choosing, designing, implementing, and publishing a replication study as a means of investigating the validity of research findings in diverse settings and populations. This event is open to UMassD faculty participants. To register, please email Ellen Mandly at emandly@umassd.edu. In-person participation will be limited to the first 10 registrants; virtual participation is available to anyone. Please make your preference known when registering.

2:30 PM - 3:30 PM	Department of Fisheries Oceanography Seminar - Jon Hare Location: > See description for location Contact: > See Description for contact information Description: The School for Marine Science and Technology Department of Fisheries Oceanography Seminar Announcement "Using an incremental approach for "wicked problems" in fisheries management and marine EBM" Jon Hare Science & Research Director Northeast Fisheries Science Center NOAA Wednesday, November 3, 2021 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm SMAST East, Rooms 101/102 Also Via Zoom Abstract: Ecosystem management is a ‘wicked problem’, that is, a problem that is impossible or nearly impossible to solve because it is so complex. When I made the switch from scientist to scientific administrator in NOAA Fisheries in 2016, I brought a natural scientist’s perspective to ecosystem-based management (EBM), emphasizing understanding the components of an ecosystem and providing this understanding to managers as scientific advice. As I embarked on my new job – working with fishers to reduce the risk of entanglement to North Atlantic Right Whales; providing advice on how to balance the needs of offshore wind-energy development, commercial and recreational fishing, and wildlife conservation; and working to bring climate and ecosystem information into fisheries management – I came to realize that a different approach to management and decision-making – incrementalism – is needed. Incrementalism recognizes stakeholders (including scientists) have different perspectives of the issues and that decision-making represents a compromise among these different perspectives. It provides for continued work on a problem and implements decisions stepwise with the participation of all stakeholders. In this seminar, I will discuss the origins of incrementalism, how it can be applied to fisheries management and marine EBM, and 10 lessons that I have learned for carrying out NOAA Fisheries’ mission to provide advice “backed by sound science and an ecosystem-based approach to management”. ******************************************************************************** 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

The talk will be moderated by Yanira Ramirez, GD 22. Thursday, November 4, 6:00 pm in person or via Zoom Room 306, CVPA Main Campus 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA REGISTRATION REQUIRED More information and registration available through link above. BIOGRAPHY Mariana Ramos Ortiz (she/her/they/them \| b. 1997) is an interdisciplinary artist working between San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Providence, Rhode Island. Their practice revises the imperial and colonial relationship the United States has imposed on Puerto Rico. Their recent work articulates relationships between legibility as a remnant of colonialism, play as a tactic for resistance, and how these strategies construct the experience and perceptions of the colonial subject and landscape. Ramos Ortiz graduated with a BA from the University of Puerto Rico - Río Piedras in 2019 and received an MFA in 2021 from the Rhode Island School of Design. They have been featured in exhibitions at Brown University, RISD Museum, Late Curatorial, University of Arizona Poetry Center, Utah State University, Atlantic Center for the Arts, Plataforma Caníbal, WaterFire Arts Center, Guatibirí Gallery, among others. Ramos Ortiz is currently a 2021-2022 Kala Art Institute. This event is sponsored by the Dynamic Screen-Based Typography class at the College of Visual and Performing Arts.

The course will make it evident for attendees that: - micrometer-thin film coatings may perform as high-power lenses, prisms, spiral phase plates, beam shaper, etc., and in a broad band of wavelengths comparable to that of glass and other transparent optical materials; - optical functions can be switched on and off with low voltage controls; - thin film optical components can be combined to provide versatile beam control functions such as all-electronic beam steering with random access capability, switching between multiple focal points and beam shapes, spectral tuning, variable transmission, etc. - ultralight and ultrathin films may be used as primary optics for very large telescopes for space communication as well as imaging. The first generation of optics relied on shaping an optically transparent material such as glass. Modulating refractive index instead of shape - the second generation of optics - allows thinner components but compromises bandwidth. Anisotropic materials make available two more parameters for controlling light beams. LCD industry is exploring one of them, modulation of effective birefringence - the third generation of optics. A recent breakthrough, the fourth generation of optics, relates to patterning optical axis orientation in the plane of anisotropic films. Obtained as thin film coatings on any desired substrate, including plastic, flat or curved, all different varieties of optical functions can now be produced using the same materials and processes. 4G lenses, prisms, vortex waveplates, etc., are thin films of continuous structure allowing low-cost manufacturing just by inducing desired orientation patterns by a touch of polarization modulated light. Unlike metamaterials, 4G optics provides high efficiency with no haze, is readily scalable to large aperture sizes, it is at a high level of maturity, and is enabling modern applications including LiDARs for auto-navigation, augmented reality displays, adaptive ophthalmic lenses, space telescopes, and even solar sails.

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM	ECE Seminar* Speaker: Dr. Yisha Xiang, Assistant Professor, Texas Tech University Location: > See description for location Cost: Free Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department Description: Topic: Data-Driven Markov Decision Processes with Parameter Uncertainty: Application to Maintenance and Remanufacturing Planning Zoom Teleconference: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/96716388828 Abstract: We consider the problem of maintenance and remanufacturing planning with the objective of minimizing the total operational and environmental costs. Determining the optimal maintenance and remanufacturing timing, first and foremost, requires modeling of the state transitions of a system. The estimation of these probabilities, however, often suffers from data inadequacy and is far from accurate, resulting in serious degradation in performance. To mitigate the impacts of the uncertainty in transition probabilities, we develop a novel data-driven modeling framework for maintenance/remanufacturing planning in which decision makers can remain robust with respect to statistical estimation errors. We model this planning problem as a robust Markov decision process, and construct ambiguity sets that contain the true transition probability distributions with certainty using historical data. We further establish structural properties of optimal robust policies and insights for maintenance and remanufacturing planning. A computational study on the NASA turbofan engine shows that our data-driven decision framework consistently yields better worst-case performances and higher reliability of the performance guarantee.

Speaker: Associate Professor. Jeffrey Chen (North Dakota State University) Title: Proxy Contests and Debt Contracting: The Interplay of Managerial, Shareholder, and Creditor Incentives Date: Friday, November 5, 2021 Time: 10:00-11:15 AM Location: via Zoom Meeting https://umassd.zoom.us/j/4387551509?pwd=bVB2QzdtRmFCdkk1WTVQSUxHMS9iQT09 Please contact Prof. Hongkang Xu at hxu5@umassd.edu for Meeting ID and Passcode. Abstract: We evaluate how heterogeneity in the strategic interplay among shareholders, creditors, and managers influences debt contracting behavior around proxy contests. We find that, subsequent to proxy contests, new loan originations have significantly higher spreads and more stringent non-pricing contracting terms. The effect, however, occurs largely in contest firms where CEOs are provided with tournament-based risk-taking incentives. Further, creditor simultaneous equity holdings and CDS trading attenuate contests' impact. Finally, contests that culminate in voting and dissident victory experience the largest increase in loan pricing. Overall, our results suggest an increase in the agency cost of debt subsequent to proxy contests, particularly when managerial risk-taking incentives are high, creditors do not simultaneously hold target firms' equity or have no access to the CDS market to seek protection.
