Berkeley, CA ? January 2018 ? UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies (TDPS) presents Berkeley Dance Project 2018 (BDP) this February, featuring works by professional Bay Area choreographers Katie Faulkner and James Graham , as well as by TDPS student choreographers Madeline Aragon and Hillary Tang, performed by student dancers. Faulkner uses projection mapping (images displayed onto dancers? bodies) to explore the experiences of an all-female cast related to the physical stages of womanhood, while Graham?s new work questions our experiences with gender, sexuality, and identity ? how we see ourselves, and how we are seen in the world.
Berkeley Dance Project 2018 opens Thursday, February 15, 2018 and continues through Saturday, February 24, 2018 in the Zellerbach Playhouse on the UC Berkeley campus. (Please note that BDP has historically taken place in April, but will instead be presented in February.) Tickets are $13 – $20 and can ...

January 12, 2018?Megasupramolecules
from UBC Mechanical Engineering
(2018/1/13 3:41)
|
Topic: Megasupramolecoles
Speaker: Professor Julia A. Kornfield, Chemical Engineering, California Institute of Technology
Host: Prof. John M. Frostad
Time/Date: January 12, 2018, 1:00-1:50pm
Location: Chemical & Biological Engineering Rm 102
Abstract
Ultralong polymers (weight-average molecular weight Mw ? 5000 kg/mol) exhibit striking effects on fluid dynamics even at low concentration. For example, at 100 ppm, they can control mist and reduce turbulent drag, thanks to their ability to store energy as they stretch, such that the fluid as a whole resists elongation. Unfortunately, ultralong backbones undergo chain scission during routine handling because hydrodynamic tension builds up along the backbone to a level that breaks covalent bonds; this ?shear degradation? continues until the their valuable effects are lost (Mw < 1000 kg/mol). After 9/11, we took a fresh look at polymers for mist control in the hop ...

Please see the below call for nominations:
Aboriginal Graduate Fellowships
The University of British Columbia offers multi-year fellowships to Master’s and doctoral Aboriginal students. Award winners are selected on the basis of academic merit through an annual competition, administered by the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in consultation with the First Nations House of Learning. Approximately a dozen new fellowships are offered each year.
Each fellowship provides a stipend of $18,200 per year for doctoral students or a stipend of $16,175 per year for Master’s students. Additionally, AGF recipients are eligible to receive tuition funding. Tuition funding will not exceed the current value of the standard doctoral or Master’s degree tuition fees. Applicants for Master’s funding will receive fellowship funding until the end of their second year of Master?s studies; applicants for doctoral funding will receive fellowship funding for ...

January 12, 2018? Adjoint Solver Technology
from UBC Mechanical Engineering
(2018/1/12 3:14)
|
Please note the following fluids seminar this Friday, January 12, 1-2pm in CEME 2202
Adjoint Solver Technology
by Chris Hill, ANSYS Inc.
Abstract:
The ANSYS Fluent adjoint CFD solver was released several years ago and has seen steady growth in usage by industrial customers since then. An overview of the adjoint method in CFD and how it is applied in industry will be given. The foundations of adjoint solver technology will be described together with the specific approach taken in ANSYS Fluent. The challenges of achieving convergence of an adjoint CFD problem will be discussed along with the challenges of making adjoint technology usable. Mesh morphing is a key component in the design process involving adjoint solutions and the rationale for the morphing method used will be described. Applications in multi-objective design, rotating machinery, thermal problems and constrained design problems will be presented. The application of adjoint methods for robust design and robust optim ...
