Give Me Shelter Lecture Series: Steve Dietz
Speaker: Steve Dietz
Time: 7:00p–9:00p
Location: E15-070
MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology presents its Monday night
lecture series, Give Me Shelter: Second Skin for Extreme Environments?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This series draws together speakers from different disciplines to
discuss questions such as: How can bodywear function as an extension
of the human body and support it under unusual conditions such as hot
and cold climates? How can we expand our thinking about the boundary
between body and environment? What kind of second skin would be
required to survive walking through a volcano, or for living under
water or visiting outer space? When does clothing become a contested
cultural arena for endangered peoples and their environment?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Tuesday, November 2nd
Transportation at MIT and the MIT Transportation Club present:
:
Joseph F. Coughlin, MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics and MIT
AgeLab:
:
"The Future is Gray, Small & Female: Disruptive Demographics and
Transportation Tomorrow."
:
Demographics is destiny. The fastest growing population cohort
throughout the industrialized world, selected Asian countries and
China are people 50 and older – within that group adults 85+ are
growing the fastest. Demographic transition from primarily younger to
older populations is the result of people living longer and dramatic
declines in fertility. The United States' fertility rate peaked in
1957 at more than 3.7 children per family compared to today’s rate of
~2.1 births per female – the minimum rate necessary to maintain the
population. Moreover, aging is now a ‘home alone’ experience with
nearly 30 percent of Americans age 60 and older living alone – most of
them women. The future is gray, small and female. How will these
disruptive demographics change the shape of transportation tomorrow?
What are the new transportation and logistics demands of an older
society living in smaller households comprised primarily of women?
This talk will describe these demographic trends, their possible
impact on transportation demand and related services; and, the likely
shape of transportation tomorrow.:

Transportation at MIT and the new Institute-wide Transportation Club are
pleased to announce the continuation of the Transportation Seminar
Series on Tuesdays at 4:00 in 4-237. Our seminars are free and open to
the public.

Coastal Flooding
Speaker: Rick Luettich
Time: 2:30p–3:30p
Location: 48-316
Environmental Fluid Mechanics / Hydrology Seminar Series
weekly presentations from local and international researchers in the
field of hydrology and environmental fluid mechanics.
As of 2005 approximately 153 million people (53% of the U.S.
population) lived in the coastal counties of the United States. By
2015, over 60% of the U.S. population is expected to live in these
areas. In the late 1990s, coastal infrastructure in the Gulf and
Atlantic coastal regions alone was worth about $3 trillion. More than
one-tenth of the nation?s annual gross domestic product and 16 million
jobs are directly attributable to the industries located in the
coastal zone. Yet, these heavily populated and economically
significant regions are susceptible to some of the most destructive
forces in nature, including tsunamis, floods, and tropical cyclones.
The risk of living in these areas is even greater when factors such as
global climate change, sea level rise and oil spills are taken into
consideration.While considerable effort has been invested over the
past half century in developing the computer models that underlie our
current weather forecasting capabilities, predictive models of the
waves, storm surge and flooding that are responsible for much of the
damage associated with the most severe coastal storms are much less
mature.
I'll discuss the coupled ADCIRC + SWAN storm surge and wave models,
which have recently provided a major step forward in our ability to
employ modern day, high performance computing capabilities to model
coastal waves and storm surge associated with tropical cyclones and
other strong coastal storms.

Location: E14-633
Civic Media Series
What do citizens need to know when they publicly address legally
challenging or dangerous topics? Journalists have always had the
privilege, protected by statute, of not having to reveal their
sources. But as more investigative journalism is conducted by so-
called amateurs and posted on blogs or websites such as Wikileaks,
what are the legal dangers for publishing secrets in the crowd-sourced
era?
We convene an engaging group of law scholars to help outline the legal
challenges ahead, suggest policies that might help to protect
citizens, and describe what steps every civic media practitioner
should take to protect themselves and their users.

Understanding Cyberattack as an Instrument of U.S. Policy
November 1, 2010
2:50 pm - 4:00 pm
Halligan 111B
Speaker: Dr. Herb Lin, National Academies of Science, Engineering and
Medicine
Host: Joint Colloq with Fletcher School
Abstract
Much has been written about the possibility that terrorists or hostile
nations might conduct cyberattacks against critical sectors of the
U.S. economy. However, the possibility that the United States might
conduct its own cyberattacks -- defensively or otherwise -- has
received almost no public discussion. Recently, the US National
Academies performed a comprehensive unclassified study of the
technical, legal, ethical, and policy issues surrounding cyberattack
as an instrument of U.S. policy. This talk will provide a framework
for understanding this emerging topic and the critical issues that
surround it.
Dr. Herbert Lin is chief scientist at the Computer Science and
Telecommunications Board, National Research Council of the National
Academies, where he has been study director of major projects on
public policy and information technology. These studies include a 1996
study on national cryptography policy (Cryptography's Role in Securing
the Information Society), a 1991 study on the future of computer
science (Computing the Future), a 1999 study of Defense Department
systems for command, control, communications, computing, and
intelligence (Realizing the Potential of C4I: Fundamental Challenges),
a 2000 study on workforce issues in high-technology (Building a
Workforce for the Information Economy), a 2002 study on protecting
kids from Internet pornography and sexual exploitation (Youth,
Pornography, and the Internet), a 2004 study on aspects of the FBI's
information technology modernization program (A Review of the FBI's
Trilogy IT Modernization Program), a 2005 study on electronic voting
(Asking the Right Questions About Electronic Voting), a 2005 study on
computational biology (Catalyzing Inquiry at the Interface of
Computing and Biology), a 2007 study on privacy and information
technology (Engaging Privacy and Information Technology in a Digital
Age), a 2007 study on cybersecurity research (Toward a Safer and More
Secure Cyberspace), a 2009 study on healthcare informatics
(Computational Technology for Effective Health Care: Immediate Steps
and Strategic Directions), and a 2009 study on offensive information
warfare (Technology, Policy, Law, and Ethics Regarding U.S.
Acquisition and Use of Cyberattack Capabilities). Prior to his NRC
service, he was a professional staff member and staff scientist for
the House Armed Services Committee (1986-1990), where his portfolio
included defense policy and arms control issues. He received his
doctorate in physics from MIT. Avocationally, he is a longtime folk
and swing dancer and a poor magician.

Near-Field Thermophotovoltaics
November 2, 2010
3:00 pm - 4:15 pm
Halligan 111
Speaker: Dr. Andy Walsh, MTPV, LLC
Host: Prof. Tom Vandervelde
Abstract
MTPV, LLC is working to produce first product based on near-field
thermophotovoltaics (TPV). The initial target market is industrial
waste heat conversion but future applications are numerous and include
solar energy conversion, co-generation of residential heat and
electrical power, space-based radioisotope power generation, vehicle
power generation, and portable power. In this talk, I will discuss the
physics of near-field thermophotovoltaic energy conversion as well as
the enabling technologies which have allowed us to fabricate the
requisite nano-scale gaps over commercially relevant areas. I will
explain the limitations of both thermoelectrics and far-field
thermophotovoltaics and why only MTPV technology is capable of
simultaneously attaining both high efficiency and high power density
solid state conversion. Near-field TPV, by use of a vacuum gap between
a hot emitter and TPV cell that is well below the wavelength of the
blackbody radiation, couples an order of magnitude more power across
the gap than is available in the far-field, maintains the requisite
large temperature gradient required for efficient power conversion,
and allows the conversion device to remain at or near room
temperature. In addition, the strong electromagnetic coupling between
hot and cold sides inherent in near-field TPV leads to extraordinary
spectral control using a simple back-side reflector alone, i.e.
without the need for 3D photonic crystals, Bragg reflectors, Rugate
filters, etc. Near-field thermophotovoltaics will achieve efficiencies
exceeding 30% and power densities over 10 W/cm2, depending on emitter
temperature and nano-scale gap dimension, with a single junction
design. In addition to industrial waste heat conversion at 5¢/kW·hr,
near-field TPV will be a more cost effective solution for solar energy
conversion than today’s photovoltaics and will be an enabling
technology for co-generation of heat and electricity for decentralized
power production.
Biography:
Dr. Andy Walsh is a Senior Engineer at MTPV, LLC in Boston, MA. In
addition to developing proprietary next-generation MTPV technology,
Dr. Walsh works on thermophotovoltaic cell design, testing, and
optimization as well as system-level optimization incorporating
optical, electronic, and thermo-mechanical aspects of MTPV, LLC’s
first product. Dr. Walsh attained his B.S. in Engineering Physics in
1992 from Cornell University. After a ten year career as a Naval
officer and aviator, he attained his Ph.D. in experimental condensed
matter physics from Boston University in 2008 where he probed exciton
and electron- phonon interactions in carbon nanotubes.

Cross Currents: Water and Energy Challenges in the 21st Century
Thursday, November 4, 2010, 9am – 5pm
Winthrop Street Function Hall, 51 Winthrop Street
Tufts University, Medford Campus
The symposium is free of charge but we strongly encourage you to
register in advance.
Register at http://www.weap21.org/symposium/registration.asp
The important fields of water and energy policy are becoming
increasingly connected. One emerging challenge is the provision of
adequate water supplies to match the word’s growing demands for
energy. This challenge is likely to be difficult both with
traditional approaches to energy production such as thermal power
plants, which require huge amounts of cooling water, but also for some
renewable energy systems such as solar power, which need to be sighted
in areas where sunshine is plentiful but water generally is not. A
second major challenge is the fast growing energy needs of our water
supply systems. These energy needs will continue to grow as we become
more dependent on groundwater from steadily falling aquifers. A third
emerging challenge is how best to manage the competing demands on our
water systems, particularly with respect to how dams are managed for
hydropower, agricultural irrigation and the protection of ecological
systems. All these challenges are emerging at a time when there are
increasing concerns over how climate change will affect the future
reliability of freshwater supplies.
Our symposium will explore how these and other perspectives on water
and energy can be assembled into a useful framework that can support
the development of sustainable water and energy management policies in
a changing world.

On Wednesday, November 3, 2010, at 7 p.m, join Prof. Sanford Levinson,
Constitutional scholar and Visiting Professor at Harvard Law School,
in discussing how the Constitution limits self-government. Political
parties and the media focus almost exclusively on elections as the
source of the nation's governing "mandate." Why, then, don't
elections make more difference in the policies and activities of our
government? What is Levinson's take on the November 2 election
results?
Based on Levinson's understanding of the Supreme Court, a primary
focus of his scholarship , how does he view the recent Citizen's
United decision? What will it take to reverse it? What Supreme
Court reforms does Levinson advocate?

To members of the Climate CoLab community,
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new Climate CoLab contest,
as well as a major upgrade of our software platform.
The contest will address the question: What international climate
agreements should the world community make?
The first round ended on October 31 and the final round runs through
November 26.
In early December, the United Nations and U.S. Congress will be
briefed on the winning entries.
We are raising funds in the hope of being able to pay travel expenses
for one representative from each winning team to attend one or both of
these briefings.
We invite you to form teams and enter the contest--learn more at http://climatecolab.org
.
We also encourage you to fill out your profiles and add a picture, so
that members of the community can get to know each other.
And please inform anyone you believe might be interested about the
contest.
Editorial Comment: I played a previous version of this simulation.
This time around, I like the 350 plan which is as close to zero
emissions as the exercise will get.
