SUMMARY:Nanobatteries And What We Learn From Them\, Apr 13
DESCRIPTION:Electrochemistry coupled with mechanics dictates the microstructural evolution and service life of many materials in the energy industry\, and underlies problems such as stress-corrosion cracking and battery cyclability. \n                While atomistic and first-principles modeling is adept at looking at the finer details of energetics and microstructural evolution\, it often needs help from experiments to identity the key performance-limiting processes. Here we report the creation of a nanoscale electrochemical testing platform inside a transmission electron microscope (TEM)\, consisting of electron-transparent single nanowire electrodes and an ionic liquid electrolyte\, and direct observations of the electrochemical lithiation and delithiation of the nanowires. \n                SnO2\, ZnO\, Si\, Ge\, graphene and carbon nanotube anodes and LiFePO4 nanowire cathode have been tested so far. Lithium embrittlement is found to be a persistent phenomenon in these materials. These in situ experiments greatly complement our modeling efforts\, and together they provide unprecedented details and deep insight into how materials degrade in service due to combined electrochemical-mechanical actions.

SUMMARY:Using Cell Phones for Biomedical Device Development and Education Applications\, Apr 18
DESCRIPTION:All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                As society struggles to continue to make strides in basic biological research and to continue to meet global demand for medical care at decreasing cost\, optical technologies offer compelling solutions by providing detailed chemical and structural information about biological samples\, often without the need for costly chemical consumables or labor and expertise-intensive biopsy procedures. In this talk\, I will present our group’s work to develop and apply novel optical technologies for telepathology. \n                We developed three attachments to a commercial cell phone that transform the phone’s integrated lens and image sensor into a 350x microscope\, visible-light spectrometer\, and particle-sizing device. The microscope is capable of transmission\, fluorescence\, and polarized microscopy modes and is shown to have 1.5 micron resolution and a usable field-of-view of ~150×150 microns with no image processing\, and approximately 350×350 microns when post-processing is applied. The spectrometer has a 300 nm bandwidth with a limiting spectral resolution of close to 5nm. The particle-sizing device records Mie scattering patterns from particles in suspension\, and can determine their size with high precision. \n                We show applications of the devices to medically relevant problems. In the case of the microscope\, we image both stained and unstained blood-smears showing the ability to acquire images of similar quality to commercial microscope platforms\, thus allowing diagnosis of clinical pathologies. With the spectrometer we demonstrate acquisition of a white-light transmission spectrum through diffuse tissue as well as the acquisition of a fluorescence spectrum.

SUMMARY:Object-based Audio Reproduction with the SoundScape Renderer\, Apr 19
DESCRIPTION:Matthias will talk about object-based audio reproduction\, which basically means that source signals are stored in a so-called audio scene together with \n                information about their positions\, movements and other parameters. The target system loads such a scene and produces the appropriate output signals in realtime. The advantages and disadvantages in comparison to traditional channel-based reproduction systems will be discussed. \n                The SoundScape Renderer\, an open-source software (for Linux and Mac OSX) for object-based audio reproduction will be presented as well as different ways of how to describe and store spatial audio scenes.

SUMMARY:Large-scale Renewable Energy Infrastructure Modeling: Application in Sustainable Bioenergy Systems Development\, Apr 20
DESCRIPTION:The complete schedule for the semester is online at \n                . All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: Academic Surge 2050 \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                The transition to a more robust and sustainable energy system faces enormous challenges and requires effective strategies\, policies\, and planning for future expansion of renewable technologies and resources. Opportunities exist to improve overall sustainability and optimize system performance in redesigning energy infrastructure to accommodate greater use of renewables. \n                For example\, in attempting to meet the federal renewable fuel standard (RFS)\, an essentially new sustainable biorefining industry must be created to supply the required amounts of biofuels. To better understand how such an industry might be designed\, a geospatial bioenergy systems model (GBSM) has been developed to investigate the full fuel supply chain optimization. The GBSM combines geographic information system (GIS) models with optimization algorithms to identify potential preferred sites\, resource demand\, technology types\, and facility capacities. \n                The GBSM has been applied to a variety of system analyses at the state\, regional\, and national levels including scenario analysis using the federal Billion Ton study results as well as independent assessments of feedstock supplies. The model optimizes across the entire supply chain from biomass production to delivery of finished product into final demand. The model is also capable of estimating greenhouse gas and other sustainability effects to evaluate potential system level carbon and other environmental impacts. \n                The GBSM is also being integrated with other models such as the bioenergy crop adoption model (BCAM) being developed at UC Davis to better address higher resolution effects at the farm level. Models of this type address a continuing need for spatially explicit assessments of likely impacts from plans and policies relating to sustainable energy development.

SUMMARY:Measuring and Interpreting Fluxes of Trace Gases Across Local and Global Networks\, Apr 25
DESCRIPTION:All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                The engineering community has made great advances over the past decade developing wireless sensor networks to measure the environment across complex landscapes. Yet\, the micrometeorological community has been slow to adopt this new and novel technology in their research domain. This lecture covers many of the issues and complications associated with applying wireless networks in natural ecosystems. Topics covered include the need for power\, calibration\, representative exposure and the need to measure mass and energy fluxes instead of state variables. Suggestions and ideas for future collaboration and interactions are presented.

Surely new phones and apps provide new channels for participation\, but participation must be contrasted with mastery. Just who are the new masters of new media\, who are the new serfs\, and what data describes these emerging hierarchies? Swinging and Flowing: Inclusion 2012 will address this question in five approaches: \n                What distinguishes participation in and mastery of new media? \n                What strategies of inclusion work best? \n                What tools lead to new media mastery? \n                What collaborative resources support diverse new media? \n                When do new media lead to renewal? \n                Rather than providing opinions on the questions\, the speakers and participants of “Swinging and Flowing” will expose the current state of awareness about new media\, social networks\, inclusion and diversity so we can’t claim\, later on\, that we did not know. \n                Schedule: \n                09:00 AM: \n                Doors open\, Coffee and Registration \n                09:30 AM: \n                Organizer’s Welcome: Greg Niemeyer\, Charles Henry\, Cecil Brown \n                09:45 AM: \n                Afternoon Keynote: Anna Everett (USA): New Media\, New Masters\, New Servants\, New Performances \n                Introduction by Ashley Ferro-Murray \n                10:30 AM: \n                Panel 1: The Rhythms of Inclusion \n                with Kevin Epps\, Lissa Soep\, Milton Howard\, Ken Osborne\, Warren Sack \n                12:00 PM: \n                Lunch Break: Code Workshop with Wesley Willett \n                01:30 PM: \n                Keynote Talk: Helen Milner (UK): Inclusion and Diaspora \n                Introduction by Reginold Royston \n                02:15 PM \n                Panel 2: The Instruments of Inclusion \n                Omoju Miller\, Jabari Mahiri\, Victoria Robinson\, Shannon Spanhake\, Ayman Shamma \n                03:15 PM: \n                Coffee Break \n                03:30 PM: \n                Panel 3: The Practice of Inclusion \n                Asha Richardson\, Ryan Shelby\, Soraya Murray\, Jennifer Gonzales\, Michelle Fisher \n                05:00 PM: \n                Closing Statement: DJ Spooky: Territorial Considerations. \n                Introduction by Joshua Jelly-Schapiro \n                06:00 PM: South Pole Bar \n                On the video screens: \n                Traci Barlow\, Lindy Hop Demonstration

Surely new phones and apps provide new channels for participation\, but participation must be contrasted with mastery. Just who are the new masters of new media\, who are the new serfs\, and what data describes these emerging hierarchies? Swinging and Flowing: Inclusion 2012 will address this question in five approaches: \n                What distinguishes participation in and mastery of new media? \n                What strategies of inclusion work best? \n                What tools lead to new media mastery? \n                What collaborative resources support diverse new media? \n                When do new media lead to renewal? \n                Rather than providing opinions on the questions\, the speakers and participants of “Swinging and Flowing” will expose the current state of awareness about new media\, social networks\, inclusion and diversity so we can’t claim\, later on\, that we did not know. \n                Schedule: \n                09:00 AM: \n                Doors open\, Coffee and Registration \n                09:30 AM: \n                Organizer’s Welcome: Greg Niemeyer\, Charles Henry\, Cecil Brown \n                09:45 AM: \n                Afternoon Keynote: Anna Everett (USA): New Media\, New Masters\, New Servants\, New Performances \n                Introduction by Ashley Ferro-Murray \n                10:30 AM: \n                Panel 1: The Rhythms of Inclusion \n                with Kevin Epps\, Lissa Soep\, Milton Howard\, Ken Osborne\, Warren Sack \n                12:00 PM: \n                Lunch Break: Code Workshop with Wesley Willett \n                01:30 PM: \n                Keynote Talk: Helen Milner (UK): Inclusion and Diaspora \n                Introduction by Reginold Royston \n                02:15 PM \n                Panel 2: The Instruments of Inclusion \n                Omoju Miller\, Jabari Mahiri\, Victoria Robinson\, Shannon Spanhake\, Ayman Shamma \n                03:15 PM: \n                Coffee Break \n                03:30 PM: \n                Panel 3: The Practice of Inclusion \n                Asha Richardson\, Ryan Shelby\, Soraya Murray\, Jennifer Gonzales\, Michelle Fisher \n                05:00 PM: \n                Closing Statement: DJ Spooky: Territorial Considerations. \n                Introduction by Joshua Jelly-Schapiro \n                06:00 PM: South Pole Bar \n                On the video screens: \n                Traci Barlow\, Lindy Hop Demonstration

SUMMARY:Low-cost Diagnostics with bioMEMS – Unconventional Methods and Materials\, Apr 27
DESCRIPTION:The lab-on-chip concept has created miniature devices for the study of phenomena and the performance of tasks in physics\, chemistry\, biology\, and medicine. But lab-on-chip devices can deliver more than just a miniaturization of conventional laboratory methods; rather\, effects that scale favorably at micrometer dimensions can be exploited for simplified operation and reduced cost. \n                We present several examples\, including the manipulation of multiple droplets in parallel on “texture gradients” and “texture ratchets”\, which use vibration as driving force; and the extraction of DNA from raw samples in “microfluidic origami”\, which rely on capillarity and folding instead of pumps and valves. \n                ********** \n                Karl F. Böhringer is Professor of EE and BioE\, and the director of the Microfabrication Facility at the University of Washington\, Seattle. He received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from Cornell University. He was a visiting scholar at the Stanford Robotics Lab and Transducer Lab and a postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley\, before joining the faculty at the University of Washington. He received an NSF postdoctoral associateship in 1997\, an NSF CAREER award in 1999\, and was an NSF New Century Scholar in 2000. His work was featured among the Top 100 Science Stories in Discover Magazine’s 2002 “Year in Science”. In 2004\, he received the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Academic Early Career Award and a sabbatical fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). Since 2010\, he holds the John M. Fluke Distinguished Chair in Engineering at the Univ of Washington. He is a member of the editorial board of the ASME/IEEE Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems and the IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Walter Kim on Modeling the Interaction of Light Between Diffuse Surfaces\, May 2
DESCRIPTION:***Note new date and location for Artist Talk with Walter Kim.*** \n                Join us for lunch and conversation with artist Walter Kim at the Berkeley Institute of Design. Kim’s new work Modeling the Interaction of Light Between Diffuse Surfaces is currently on display in the BCNM Commons. \n                Modeling the interaction of Light Between Diffuse Surfaces will be presented in two phases\, using the screen as a platform for both research and presentation. During the first month\, a half hour compilation of tracking shots will be screened as a precursor to Walter Kim’s work. Expect to see clips from films such as ‘Touch of Evil’\, ‘Boogie Nights’\, ‘La Haine’ and ‘Nostalghia’\, mixed in with many others. On February 3\, these clips will make space for the premiere of Kim’s latest video\, a new work produced specifically for the BCNM Commons video art program. Using a Cornell Box\, this work tricks the viewers’ perception and resides on the edge of the virtual and the real. With a series of complex camera moves performed by a robotic arm\, Kim delivers scenes that act as 3D renderings\, when in fact they are not. \n                Walter Kim is an artist/engineer based in San Francisco. Walter comes from a background of theoretical mathematics but in recent years has been working in the field of robotics and digital media. He has worked in the creative media industry as a design engineer and technical director working on both software and industrial design projects involving human-computer interaction (HCI) for robotics and digital cinema. Walter has a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of California\, Berkeley and a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Chicago. He has been a post-doctoral fellow at Université Paris 13 and on faculty in the math department at the University of California\, Irvine. Walter has also taught geometry in the architecture department at the California College of the Arts. Walter currently works at Ayasdi\, a data visualization startup that originated out of the computational topology research group in Stanford University’s mathematics department.

SUMMARY:Visualization and Analysis of Large Data From Simulations\, May 2
DESCRIPTION:Live broadcast at \n                . Questions can be sent via Yahoo IM to username: citrisevents. All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                Visualization and analysis are critical to the success of the simulation process; they help realize the value of computing by increasing the rate at which new science is discovered. Their techniques are used to confirm that simulations are running correctly\, to communicate simulation results to an audience\, and\, most importantly\, to explore data\, which is often where new insights are obtained. \n                As supercomputers get ever larger\, simulations are producing increasingly massive data sets\, create two major challenges for visualization and analysis: (1) how to handle the scale of the data and (2) how to reduce its complexity to produce results that will truly enable insight. In this presentation\, I will primarily focus on the scale issue and describe the barriers to scalable parallel performance. Finally\, this field is rapidly changing\, as supercomputers will soon be heavily power-constrained. I will describe why visualization and analysis processing techniques must evolve and how.

SUMMARY:Spatial Data Analysis with China Geo-Explorer\, May 3
DESCRIPTION:Within the last ten years\, the UM China Data Center has made lots of efforts in the development and distribution of government statistics\, Census data\, and GIS data of China. Those information provide a rich source for the study of population\, economy\, social environment and their relative changes in China. It has been a challenge how to efficiently integrate those space-time data\, provide methodology for different research targets\, and promote their applications in different fields. This presentation will present some recent development of spatial intelligence technologies for spatial data integration\, data analysis\, as well as their applications for China studies. The presentation will introduce the newly developed spatial data explorer (China Geo-Explorer) as a joint effort by the University of Michigan China Data Center and Wuhan University. It will demonstrate how space-time data of different formats and sources can be integrated\, visualized\, analyzed and reported in a web based system. Some applications in population and regional development\, disaster assessment\, environment and health\, cultural and religious studies\, and household surveys will be discussed for China and global studies.

SUMMARY:Passive and Low Energy Architecture\, May 8
DESCRIPTION:Current environmental assessment methods commonly use a simple ‘point hunting’ approach. As a result\, developers and design teams try to obtain “cheap and easy points”. Consequently\, they avoid choosing “Energy points”. Additionally\, “Energy points” are mainly achieved by improving the mechanical\, electrical and hot water systems\, since they are easier points to handle than designing low energy buildings\, especially at the advanced design stages. This is in contrast with the fact that buildings are designed to last 50 to 100 years and the mechanical systems only 15 to 20 years\, at most. \n                The new Israeli “Sustainable Building (Green Building) Standard SI5281” attempts to overcome the deficiencies presented above by dividing the energy chapter into two parts; “Building energy performance” and “Building services systems”. Moreover\, it tries to make the “Building performance points” easier to handle at the early design stages by using simple CAD tools for the performance based method\, as well as providing simple design guidelines for the prescriptive-based method. \n                The lecture presents the criteria and rules that the Israeli Green Building standard applied in order to guarantee that green buildings will save energy and in order to avoid the faults of present situation that the minimum required points for energy saving may be achieved with no need to design the building as a low energy one. \n                The talk is devoted to the presentation and discussions of the evaluation methods as well as presenting the design guidelines and tools proposed for the early design stages.
