Inness and the Spiritual Landscape CREATED:20110621T140000Z DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of its 50th Anniversary\, Krannert Art Museum celebrates the return of nineteenth century American artist George Inne sss Evening Landscape\, a fragment from a monumental canvas entitled The New Jerusalem\, after a miraculous conservation treatment at the Walter s Art Museum in Baltimore\, Maryland. This focus exhibition reunites sur viving portions of The New Jerusalem\, which was damaged in a roof colla pse while on display at Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1880. The artist recovered the canvas from the rubble and cut it into at least three paintings now divided between Baltimore and Urbana-Champaign. Bui lding on recent scholarship by art historians Sally Promey\, Michael Qui ck\, and former University of Illinois professor Rachel DeLue\, the stor y of the loss and salvage of this key work in the artists career introdu ces the visitor to the cultural context\, inspirational sources\, and sp iritual color theory artfully encoded into Innesss landscapes.

However\, at that t ime many artists did not share the same interest in exploring the inner creativity of the artist and began to challenge the Abstract Expressioni sts by turning almost exclusively to culture. Instead of exploring the a rtist's individuality\, these assemblage and Pop artists renewed a relat ionship between art and everyday life by incorporating popular culture t hrough the use of found objects and images from popular media. Artists c ontinued to challenge how the meaning of works of art was uncovered duri ng the radical 1960s and into the 1970s. Rather than finding meaning exc lusively within the work\, artists placed more emphasis on the context i n which the work of art existed. The context became increasingly more so cial and political\, which pushed the boundaries of what constituted art . This interrogation\, which ushered in the age of Postmodernism\, looke d back to what the artist Marcel Duchamp confronted in the early twentie th century. As artists began to use a diverse range of media\, they cont inued to blur the lines of art and life. This installation from the muse um's permanent collection highlights a broad range of artistic styles'ma inly from the United States'during the late 1950s through the early 1980 s\, from Nouveau Ralisme to Pop Art and Minimalism. This selection\, inc luding paintings\, sculpture\, and works on paper by Sam Francis\, Jaspe r Johns\, Ellsworth Kelly\, Roy Lichtenstein\, Kenneth Noland\, Robert R auschenberg\, Niki de Saint Phalle\, and Frank Stella\, illustrates the diverse ways that artists attacked notions of modernism.

Schneemann initially examined these iss ues through the medium of painting\, but in the early 1960s she began em ploying other media'notably\, performance and installation art and docum entary photography'to explore suppressive taboos and the relationship be tween the individual human body and the social body. In the 1960s Schne emann became part of the "experimental avant-garde" that included Robert Rauschenberg\, Claes Oldenburg\, Allan Kaprow\, Jim Dine\, and other ar tists interested in moving beyond Abstract Expressionism. She collaborat ed with Trisha Brown\, Yvonne Rainer\, Steve Paxton\, and others to deve lop the Judson Dance Theater and created performance productions involvi ng multiple participants that she called "kinetic theater." Since the mi d-1960s\, Schneemann has pursued film as a mixed-media art form\, and on occasion\, within the context of performance. These works place her at the forefront of experimental film's investigation of materiality and ab straction\, as well as feminist content. Work of the late sixties and ea rly eighties included protest work related to the Vietnam War and the at rocities in Beirut. This retrospective exhibition presents Schneemann's career from her earliest work to her most recent investigations\, ultim ately revealing the artist's thought process. The exhibition includes pa intings\, drawings\, photography\, installation work\, video projections \, and writings. Schneemann is a MFA graduate from the School of Art + D esign\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Carolee Schneemann: Within and Beyond the Premises\, curated by Brian Wallace\, was first o rganized by and presented at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art\, State Uni versity of New York at New Paltz from February 6 through July 25\, 2010. This revised presentation has been organized by Krannert Art Museum in partnership with the Henry Art Gallery\, University of Washington.

In 1962 Harvey Littleton\, then ceramicist at the U niversity of Wisconsin'Madison\, along with Dominick Labino\, vice-presi dent of the Johns Manville Corporation\, developed a small glass furnace on the grounds of the Toledo Museum of Art. This major development in g lassmaking allowed an artist to create works in an independent studio se tting. In addition\, Littleton organized two workshops to demonstrate th e use of glass as an artistic medium. These workshops became the foundat ion of the American Studio Glass Movement. In the beginning\, there wer e two distinguishing characteristics of American studio glass: unificati on of the roles of designer and maker and a focus on blown glass as dist inct from other processes of forming objects from glass. Fifty years lat er\, these two characteristics no longer describe American glass art. Bl own glass is still a major thread\; however\, cast glass\, coldworked gl ass\, and hot-sculpted glass are also important techniques of the moveme nt. Although many artists design and make their own pieces\, others\, no tably Dale Chihuly\, work with gaffers who make pieces under their direc tion. This exhibition emphasizes the latter half of the movement's fift y-year history in this country\, although a few early pieces are include d. The works are all drawn from the private collections of those living in Illinois\, with a small bias towards artists with a connection to Ill inois. A few of the artists represented in the exhibition\, including Ch ihuly\, Marvin Lipofsky\, and Joel Philip Myers\, were students of or we re directly inspired by Littleton\, while many others were students of L ittleton's students. Almost all of the artists are actively producing gl ass art today\, with the exception of Littleton\, Labino (who is decease d)\, and William Morris.

Recent Artisti c Projects and Research" CREATED:20120213T150000Z DESCRIPTION:Software now facilitates many aspects of daily life\, whether it's your phone\, your bank\, your car\, or your refrigerator. Though immaterial\, software is still a designed object created by humans. I'm interested in how those designs serve their creators\, as well as the s ystems those creations reside within. Why do those designs result in ce rtain kinds of human-computer interfaces? How do those interfaces inter act with humans to achieve their goals? What does software want? In t his talk I will present an overview of my recent research questions arou nd this topic and the resulting artworks I have generated in response.Be n Grosser is an artist and a composer\, and is currently an MFA Candidat e in New Media in the School of Art+Design at UIUC. Previously he was t he Director of the Imaging Technology Group at the Beckman Institute. H is artistic work has been covered widely in the online press\, including articles on Boing Boing\, the Make Blog\, Engadget\, Fast Company\, and Discovery News. The Huffington Post recently said of his Interactive R obotic Painting Machine that "Grosser may have unknowingly birthed the a pocalypse." The St. Louis Riverfront Times called his music "very loud and ugly."The purpose of the Beckman Institute Forum for Imaging and Vis ualization\, held every Tuesday at noon\, is to highlight/publicize imag ing and visualization capabilities at the University\; to feature the wo rk of faculty who utilize those capabilities\; and to serve as a locus f rom which new imaging and visualization modalities may be introduced to the University. The intent of the Forum is to convey information on imag ing and/or visualization\, weekly\, to researchers from a wide swath of disciplines. Thus\, a solid introduction to the pertinent principles sho uld be provided before launching into difficult concepts.Please feel fre e to forward this announcement to anyone who may be interested.

In condensed matter \, entanglement entropy\, and various generalizations such as Renyi/Tsal lis entropy\, mutual information and entanglement spectrum\, have been c onsidered a useful tool for characterizing exotic quantum phases and qua ntum phase transitions that denies a description by a conventional symme try breaking paradigm of Landau. Yet relatively little attention has bee n dedicated to that of the conventional long-range ordered phases or cri tical phases. In this talk\, I will talk about a series of work that foc uses on the entanglement entropy of such "well-understood" phases\, and show that they have non-trivial entanglement properties due to either th e long-range order\, or the quantum criticality. In the first part\, I w ill focus on entanglement entropy of long-range ordered systems[1]: a fe rromagnetic model\, an antiferromagnetic model\, and a set of free boson models with long-range hopping\, and show that in all these cases\, the entanglement entropy (or the mutual information at finite temperatures) scales as ~ log L. For the second part\, I shall discuss the entangleme nt entropy of Fermi liquids in two dimensions[2]\, which is one of the s implest and well-understood quantum critical phases. In the absence of i nteraction\, the entanglement entropy of free fermions is solved by Gieo v and Klich[3]\, using the Widom's conjecture\, and scales as the area-l aw enhanced by a logarithmic factor\, E ~ L^{d-1} log L. We re-derive th is result via high dimensional bosonization\, generalize the method to t ake into account the Fermi liquid interaction\, and show that the entang lement entropy is not renormalized by the interactions.

Among thos e resources\, one of the most important is entanglement\, which is chara cterized by correlations stronger than are allowed classically. Due to its fundamental role in quantum information science\, the generation and control of entangled states of light are active areas of research. In this talk I will show that non-degenerate four-wave mixing (4WM) in rubi dium vapor has applications in both of these areas. In the first part o f the talk I will give a brief introduction into the topic of the genera tion and characterization of entangled states of light known as twin bea ms. I will show how it is possible to use 4WM to generate twin beams an d will describe the advantages that are obtained with the use of this no nlinear process. In the second part of the talk I will present two appl ications of 4WM in quantum information: obtaining the best possible copy of a quantum state\, i.e.\, a quantum cloner\, and controlling the prop agation velocity of the light carrying the entanglement\, i.e.\, a quant um buffer. I will finish by giving a quick overview of current research projects that use twin beams for applications such as the calibration o f photodiodes and the enhancement of the sensitivity of a measurement.

Nevertheless\, these superpos itions are in conflict with our everyday experience. What is the largest and most tangible object that can be prepared in such a superposition? This question has motivated researchers to fabricate micron-scale mechan ical resonators and coax them towards the regime of quantum behavior. In deed micro-mechanical devices recently reached the quantum regime. In th is talk\, I will describe how we use electricity to achieve the exquisit e control and measurement of micromechanical resonators necessary to rea ch the quantum regime. Having entered this regime\, we are now able to p ursue many exciting ideas. We endeavor to use mechanical resonators as l ong-lived memories for the quantum states of electrical circuits. In add ition\, we are developing the technology to transfer quantum states betw een two incompatible systems via a mechanical intermediary. We may even be able to test quantum theory itself in an unexplored region of mass an d size scales.

Foes? CREATED:20120126T150000Z DESCRIPTION:As we think about moral issues and the human place in nature\ , how should other life forms fit in? This session will explore the tens ions between animal-welfare approaches and more ecological understanding s of the moral landscape. It will also consider both the moral status of species and rare communities as such and the essential roles of biodive rsity in the functioning of healthy landscapes. At bottom\, our varied r easons for wanting to conserve other life forms can lead to widely diffe ring policies and actions.

In this context\ , the Finite Element Methods are one of the most popular mesh-based tech niques. In this talk\, we discuss meshfree approximation methods\, which are approximation methods that do not need a meshing of the domain\, an d so bypass some of the numerical shortcomings of mesh-based methods. We provide sufficient conditions for meshfree methods to guarantee uniform error bounds on the resulting approximation. Next\, we review the Local Maximum-Entropy approximation scheme\, a meshfree approximation method defined through a convex optimization problem. Moreover\, we present HOL MES\, a high-order generalization of the Local Maximum-Entropy approxima tion scheme\, which is also defined through a convex optimization proble m. We show that the convergence results for general meshfree methods we developed also apply to HOLMES.' Numerical examples from solid mechanics show the efficiency of the new method in practice.

We have recently implemented a machine comprising seven quantum channels\, with three superconducting resonator s\, two phase qubits\, and two zeroing registers.After introducing the m ain concepts on superconducting quantum circuits\, I will explain the de sign and operation of our quantum machine.I will first show how a single microwave photon |1> can be prepared in one resonator and coherently tr ansferred between the three resonators of the machine\, thus allowing us to realize a quantum register on a chip [+].I will then demonstrate how our machine can be used as the quantum-mechanical analog of the von Neu mann computer architecture\, which for a classical computer comprises a central processing unit and a memory holding both instructions and data. The quantum version comprises a quantum central processing unit (quCPU) that exchanges data with a quantum random-access memory (quRAM) integra ted on one chip\, with instructions stored on a classical computer. I wi ll also present a proof-of-concept implementation of a code that involve s all seven quantum elements: (1)\, Preparing an entangled state in the quCPU\, (2)\, writing it to the quRAM\, (3)\, preparing a second state i n the quCPU\, (4)\, zeroing it\, and\, (5)\, reading out the first state stored in the quRAM [*].Finally\, I will demonstrate that the quantum v on Neumann machine provides one unit cell of a two-dimensional qubit-res onator lattice that can be used for surface code quantum computing. This will allow\, (1)\, the realization of a scalable\, fault-tolerant quant um processor with the most forgiving error rates to date and\, (2)\, the possibility to emulate nontrivial many-body systems.

Is music actually beneficial to us in any way\, or is it just "fluff" - i.e. "auditory cheesecake"\, as some have suggested...Why do we hear i n the frequency range (20 Hz - 20 KHz) that we do?Why not higher or lowe r?

Water conservation has been a key factors in achieving sustainable biofuel production from agricultural residue and other advanced feedstock. In our latest study\, we establish a standardi zed water footprint framework aiming to quantify blue\, green\, and gray water associated with second-generation and advanced biofuel at county- level resolution for the entire United States. We quantify the water foo tprint covering the hydrologic cycle\, irrigation\, process water use\, and grey water discharge for the major life-cycle stages of the biofuels : feedstock production\, feedstock transportation\, and feedstock conver sion. Five major types of feedstock are analyzed including corn\, corn s tover\, soybean\, wheat straw\, and algae. We examine the effects of spa tial resolution on shaping water footprint. To put biofuel water demand into perspective\, we further compare the water footprint of the biofuel generated from each feedstock with local effective rain. The results in dicate that green water use accounts for a significant portion of the wa ter use in current cellulosic feedstock development though most of the p ast water conservation efforts were made to increase blue water use effi ciency. Local water limitation should always serve as an important crite rion while projecting future biofuel production potential.This seminar w ill be broadcast live on the ISTC website www.istc.illinois.edu and also archived there for later viewing.

CREATED:20120126T150000Z DESCRIPTION:This session will build upon session 3 by considering the ste ps needed to promote biodiversity on large scales\, particularly in land scapes where humans live and work. It will highlight how different reaso ns for protecting biodiversity can prompt different conservation strateg ies. Efforts to coordinate land-use activities collide with cultural val ues that exalt liberty and individualism as well as the realities of lan dscapes divided among political jurisdictions and private owners. Such f ragmentation poses perhaps the gravest challenge for environmental polic y given that we can remedy many problems only through collective action at large spatial scales.

Despite the fact that CAD tools ha ve been around (in some form) for over 40 years\, they have not had a gr eat impact on synthesizing new designs and instead are still best used a fter design exploration has converged. This deficiency can be attributed to the lack of value that automation has provided for the user in terms of time saved or quality improvements in design. In order to provide de sirable results\, CAD tools must be more integrated into the way we desi gn through human-like evaluation of solution quality\, by being customiz able to the design task\, and enabling exploration at the conceptual sta ge of design. This talk will give an overview of how user needs and proc ess influenced our commercial design automation tool\, how we are integr ating grammatical design with design process\, and some experiments to t est the current state of CAD integration with design process.

The first topic is a prevalent revenue manage ment problem in reservation systems: customers arrive randomly within a finite time period. They are divided into different classes based on the price they pay and resources they consume. The amount of each resource is limited and unused resources have no value after the period expires. I will present a control policy that accepts/rejects customers based on their classes and resource availability. I will show that in terms of ma ximizing the expected revenue\, this policy is optimal on the diffusion scale (i.e.\, the optimality gap grows at a slower rate than k1/2 when t he problem size grows at rate k). The second topic is about inventory m anagement for Assemble-to-Order systems\, in which products can be assem bled instantaneously but component orders take significant amounts of ti me to arrive. Managing such a system requires control over not only repl enishment (how many parts to order) but also allocation (which products to assemble first). Both decisions have to be made continuously over tim e\, making the problem of minimizing the inventory cost tremendously com plex. I will explain how to attack this dynamic control model from the angle of static optimization\, i.e.\, the use of multi-stage stochastic programs to set a lower bound on the inventory cost and to motivate cont rol policies that perform well in general and are provably optimal in sp ecial cases. I will also discuss a potential use of asymptotic analysis to build a theoretical foundation for our approach. In addition to disc ussing the above two problems\, I will give a brief review of my work on a dynamic game for assessing the impact of environment regulations on n ew product introduction and on the management of a queuing system in the presence of behavior bias (hyperbolic discounting).

Beginnin g with the Marshall Plan for the reconstruction of Europe after the WWII \, foreign aid has been central to debates not only around poverty and d evelopment\, but also as a manipulative tool of geopolitics and neocolon ialism. Since the end of the century\, however\, the nature and scope of development assistance has shifted considerably. Whereas project-based interventions by national or international agencies were the norm 20 yea rs ago\, these have ceded prominence to a focus on collaborative initiat ives (The Global Fund to Fight AIDS\, Tuberculosis\, and Malaria)\, the rise of consumer-driven non-governmental programs (Fair Trade)\, and an emphasis on universal values (human rights\, environment\, democracy). T hree historical developments have contributed to this shift\, and will b e the focus of this lecture: 1) the end of the cold war\; 2) the rise of 'emerging economies' such as China\, India\, and Brazil\; and 3) the gl obalization of production and consumption. I will end with a speculative assessment of the future of development assistance. LAST-MODIFIED:20120120T150000Z LOCATION:University YMCA | Latzer Hall | 1001 S.

They are also remarkable for the staggering arrange of physical problems that can benefit from them\, ranging from the study of confinement and unconventional phases in statistical mechanics and fiel d theory to the unification of the string theory landscape. In this tal k I will present a new\, completely general approach to dualities that a ffords a systematic theory of quantum dualities and incorporates classic al dualities as well into one unified framework. This new algebraic appr oach is remarkably successful in extending powerful duality techniques t o the context of topologically quantum ordered systems and quantum infor mation processing\, and affords a compelling foundation for a general th eory of exact dimensional reduction or holographic correspondences. Many systems however display only approximate dimensional reduction\, and so I will present general inequalities -some of them based on entanglement - linking quantum systems of different spatial dimensionality. These ine qualities provide bounds on the expectation values of observables and co rrelators that can enforce an effective dimensional reduction. In closin g I will discuss some implications for (topological) quantum memories.

There is growing interest in onsite water reuse systems that capture\, treat\, store and recycle rainwater\, greywater\, stormwater and other sources to flush toilets\, irrigate landscaping\, make-up cooling tower water and other non-potable uses. Water Harvesting Solutions (Wahaso) s pecializes in these systems for commercial and institutional properties\ , and has designed and installed hundreds systems nationwide. Points of discussion in this presentation will be:''Water Harvesting' trends and d rivers 'System Development Process'Scoping Stage - Tools for Designing a n Efficient System 'Understanding different sources and uses for harvest ed onsite treated water'Understanding major system components 'Applying the concepts ' Case Study ExamplesThis seminar will be broadcast live on the ISTC website www.istc.illinois.edu and also archived there for late r viewing.

This talk will describe how asymptotic convergence results maynot be useful in large-scale probl ems and how the optimization of problems based on sub-sample estimatesma y achieve improved results over models using full-sample solution estima tes. A motivating example andnumerical results from a portfolio optimiza tion problem will demonstrate the potential improvement.

The structure and structural dynamics of nucleosomes are at t he core of gene regulation mechanisms. We studied the structure and asse mbly of nucleosomes and how they are altered by DNA methylation or histo ne acetylation based on single molecule fluorescence measurements. Our s tudy revealed that these chromatin modifications induce changes in the s tructure and assembly of nucleosomes that may directly contribute to the formation of repressive or open chromatin conformations.

Destructive Force? CREATED:20120126T150000Z DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, the golden age of environmental contro l occurred from the late 1960s until around 1980\, when nearly all of ou r laws and major policies were put into place. By 1980\, a strong resist ance force had arisen\, slowing if not halting nearly all environmental progress. That backlash effort\, now seemingly stronger than ever\, has allowed significant environmental problems to linger and is poised to un dercut much environmental progress to date. This session will probe the backlash movement\, noting its common methods and linking the movement t o core American liberal values and neo-classical economic thought.

CREATED:20120116T150000Z DESCRIPTION:Any future successful global-scale energy technology must sat isfy three criteria: (1) be indefinitely recyclable\, (2) be capable of safe energy storage\, and (3) be capable of safe transport. We believe t hat an aluminum based energy technology can satisfy these criteria. Firs t\, even though the current Al industry does not practice large scale re cycling\, there are no barriers to do this. Also\, Al metal and its oxid es and hydroxides are already safely transported. However\, in spite of the good mass energy density and very high volumetric energy density of Al\, it is not yet part of the energy storage leg of the criteria triang le.We show both theoretically and experimentally that Al meets all the c onditions of a successful energy technology. Specifically we can make bu lk\, Al rich alloys that will split any kind of water to make hydrogen\, heat and recyclable aluminum hydroxide. This breakthrough has opened a new pathway to finally realize a hydrogen energy economy. As an example\ , it will enable feasible solar and wind energy technologies by using th e intermittent electricity generated by solar cells and wind turbines to reduce aluminum hydroxides back to aluminum by fused salt electrolysis. Once you have plentiful hydrogen and heat you can have sustainable remo te power and potable water. This seminar will be broadcast live on the ISTC website www.istc.illinois.edu and also archived there for later vie wing.

The Water 2050: Northeastern Illinois Regional Water Suppl y/Demand Plan incorporated climate change impacts into water use forecas ts\, finding potential regional vulnerability as water supply-demand imb alances would be exasperated by extreme weather scenarios. Correspondin g recommended best practices follow an adaptive management framework\, w hereby the stringency of water management and conservation increases in accordance with weather event severity and water shortages. This present ation highlights the use of water pricing methods to promote sound regio nal water management\, provide at-risk water systems options to manage c limate impacts\, and to ensure ongoing infrastructure adequacy as commun ities face increasing uncertainties.This seminar will be broadcast live on the ISTC website www.istc.illinois.edu and also archived there for la ter viewing.

We anticipate more than 1\,000 conference attendees to gather a t the Indianapolis Convention Center and enjoy our wonderful city during May 16-18\, 2012. Whether you?re interested in greening your building\, your neighborhood\, your business or organization\, or protecting the s anctity of our natural environment\, we encourage you to join business r epresentatives\, building trade experts\, government officials\, educato rs and students\, non-profit leaders and sustainability advocates for GT H2012. At Greening the Heartland 2012\, we will explore interdependent e lements of sustainability. While green buildings are critical components in the design of sustainable communities\, their key advantages rely on relative pathways and infrastructure - a context we will address in the conference as watts\, water\, waste and wheels. Providing our buildings with clean energy\, a precious supply of water\, the efficient use of m aterials while minimizing waste\, and a convenient and sustainable means of arrival results in truly green buildings and sustainable development . The theme BUILDING COMMUNITY indicates our genuine desire to bring peo ple together to share visions and solutions for sustainable communities in which to work\, play\, learn and live. We will also seek to join busi ness and community leaders with green building professionals and product suppliers to achieve greater understanding of how environmental\, econo mic and social trends of the maturing 21st century will influence our He artland communities.
