    <div><strong><u>What's Your Green Dot? Learn more through Green Dot Overview Training<br><br></u></strong></div>
    <div>
    <div>Green Dot is built on the premise that in order to measurably reduce the perpetration of power-based personal violence, including sexual violence, partner violence, or stalking, a cultural shift is necessary.  In order to create a cultural shift, a critical mass of people will need to engage in a new behavior or set of behaviors that will make violence less sustainable within any given community.  The “new behavior” is a green dot. This extremely interactive session is great for you to:</div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Understand the impact of power-based personal violence on campus and in various communities</li>
    <li>Learn how to identify power-based personal violence and respond within the bounds of your strengths and limitations</li>
    <li>Practice newly developed skills to be prepared for enacting this in your daily life</li>
    </ul></div>
    <div><em>Contact Davonya Hall at <a href="mailto:davonya@umbc.edu">davonya@umbc.edu</a> with questions or to set up additional training opportunities.</em></div>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <br><strong>If you or someone you know is experiencing relationship violence or power-based violence and would like to seek support, there are many campus resources available to you.</strong>

    <h3>Abstract</h3>
    <div><p>State‐of‐the‐art distributed‐memory computer clusters contain multicore CPUs with 16 and more cores. The second generation of the Intel Xeon Phi many‐core processor has more than 60 cores with 16 GB of high‐performance on‐chip memory. We contrast the performance of the second‐generation Intel Xeon Phi, code‐named Knights Landing (KNL), with 68 computational cores to the latest multicore CPU Intel Skylake with 18 cores. A special‐purpose code solving a system of nonlinear reaction‐diffusion partial differential equations with several thousands of point sources modeled mathematically by Dirac delta distributions serves as realistic test bed. The system is discretized in space by the finite volume method and advanced by fully implicit time‐stepping, with a matrix‐free implementation that allows the complex model to have an extremely small memory footprint. The sample application is a seven variable model of calcium‐induced calcium release (CICR) that models the interplay between electrical excitation, calcium signaling, and mechanical contraction in a heart cell. The results demonstrate that excellent parallel scalability is possible on both hardware platforms, but that modern multicore CPUs outperform the specialized many‐core Intel Xeon Phi KNL architecture for a large class of problems such as systems of parabolic partial differential equations.</p></div>

<Title>Experimentalist: The Art of Robert W. Fichter</Title>
<Tagline>Online exhibit available now!</Tagline>

    <div class="html-content">
    <p>This <a href="https://umbcgallery.omeka.net/exhibits/show/robertfichterexperimentalist/exhibitintro" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">online exhibit</a> accompanies an exhibition presented at UMBC’s <a href="https://librarygallery.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery </a>from August 28–December 18, 2019. The exhibition represents the first retrospective of the artist’s career in over thirty years. </p>
    <p>Created between 1962 and 2006, the works reproduced online are drawn entirely from the Robert W. Fichter Archive at UMBC. The selection highlights the artist’s experimental approach to examining the human condition. Employing shifting moods and mediums as well as wit, humor, and satire, Fichter delivers trenchant critiques of war, nuclear proliferation, and environmental disaster. Firmly rooting his expressive compositions in a strong sense of place—the surreal landscapes of his native Florida—he presents a singular vision of humanity on the brink.</p>
    <p>The <a href="https://artscalendar.umbc.edu/experimentalist-the-art-of-robert-w-fichter/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">exhibition </a><em>Experimentalist: The Art of Robert Fichter</em> was curated by Tom Beck, Curator Emeritus. The presentation at the Library Gallery was organized by Beth Saunders, Curator and Head of Special Collections.</p>

    <div>Abstract:</div>
    <div><span>Nearly all galaxies in the universe contain a super-massive black hole at their centers, with some fraction of them hosting an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). In some cases, these systems produce relativistic jets of ionized plasma, but the nature of the X-ray emission of these jets is still a matter of ongoing debate. A popular explanation for the X-ray emission has been inverse-Compton scattering of the Cosmic Microwave Background (IC/CMB), where a population of relativistic electrons upscatter ambient photons of the CMB. While we have been able to rule out the IC/CMB model in dozens of sources due to violation of gamma-ray upper limits, the results in this paper are the first detection of the IC/CMB model. The two blazar sources we analyzed (OJ 287 and PKS 1510-089) are clear outliers in that they are highly superluminal relative to their jet power, which agrees with the energetics required by the IC/CMB model. Continued long-term monitoring with the Fermi/LAT could solidify these cases by detecting a plateau signature in the recombined light-curve which would clearly signal the presence of a non-variable emission component consistent with IC/CMB.</span></div>
