ATLAS: at the energy frontier
Speaker: John Huth, Harvard
Time: 3:45p–5:00p
Location: 26-414, Kolker Room
Nuclear and Particle Physics Colloquium
3:45 Refreshments / 4:15 Lecture
ATLAS is a large multipurpose experiment that records the result of
proton-proton collisions at the highest energies ever achieved in the
laboratory. Surrounding the beam of the Large Hadron Collider at the
European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN), it has taken collision
data for over six months. ATLAS was designed to explore the origins of
electroweak symmetry breaking and the emergence of other new
phenomena, such as supersymmetry. I will present recent results from
the experiment and the outlook for the near future.

Multi-Variable Optimization of a Pressurized Oxy-Coal Combustion Process
Speaker: Hussam Zebian, MIT, Dept. Mechanical Engineering
Time: 4:00p–5:00p
Location: 3-343
Center for Energy and Propulsion Research Seminar Series
Simultaneous multi-variable gradient-based optimization with multi-
start is performed on a 300 MWe wet- recycling pressurized oxy-coal
combustion process with carbon capture and sequestration. The model
ac- counts for realistic component behavior such as heat losses, flow
leaks, pressure drops, cycle irreversibilities, and other
technological and economical considerations. The optimization study
involves 16 variables, three of which are integer valued, and eight
constraints, with the objective of maximizing thermal efficiency. The
solution procedure follows active inequality constraints which are
identified by thermodynamic-based analysis to facilitate convergence.
Results of the multi-variable optimization are compared with those of
a pressure sensitivity analysis similar to literature. Significant
cycle performance improvements are obtained with moderate changes in
the operating variables. The effect of the variables on the cycle
performance and on the constraints are analyzed and explained to
obtain increased understanding of the actual behavior of the system;
this reflects the importance of simultaneous multi-variable
optimization in revealing the system characteristics and uncovering
the favorable solutions.

"Perceptive Mobile Robots Working Safely Alongside Humans"
Most humans are "situationally aware;" through observation, memory
formation, inference, movement, and communication, we develop
spatially extended, temporally persistent representations of the world
around us. These representations enable us to survive, make sense of
our surroundings, move purposefully, and match mental models with
other people in order to participate in cooperative activities.
Our goal is to develop machines with a degree of situational awareness
sufficient to join, and contribute usefully to, existing human teams.
The challenges inherent in realizing this vision include developing
robust methods for machine perception in unstructured environments,
enabling humans to exert effective supervisory control over robots,
and addressing cultural barriers to human acceptance of robots
operating in close proximity.
This talk describes several recent projects pursued as part of this
effort, including: a self-driving car; a robotic wheelchair that
understands guided tours; an unmanned, outdoor forklift commanded
through speech and gesture; and a porter robot designed to handle
small boxes in cooperation with people.

Topic: Rethinking the community calendar: A case study in learning and
teaching Fourth R principles
Guests: Jon Udell, senior technical evangelist, Microsoft
The elmcity project invites everyone who publishes community calendar
events to:
* Realize that event data published in a structured format, unlike
data published as HTML or PDF, can be routed through pub/sub
syndication networks.
* Make public calendars available in the appropriate structured
format: iCalendar (RFC 5545), the venerable Internet standard
supported by all major calendar applications and services.
* Recognize that iCalendar is the RSS of calendars. It can enable a
calendar-sphere in which, as in the blogosphere, everyone can publish
their own feeds and also subscribe to feeds from other people or from
network services.
* Help build the data web by owning the parts of it for which we
ourselves are the authoritative sources.
The elmcity project delivers enabling technical infrastructure for
this new approach to the community calendar. The project's calendar
syndication service is free; it runs open source code on the Microsoft
Azure platform; it provides all of its syndicated data in open formats.
The real challenge isn't technical, though, it's conceptual. Most
people don't know how they could (or why they should) be the
authoritative publishers of their own data. Missing concepts include:
* The pub/sub communication pattern
* Indirection ("pass-by-reference" vs "pass-by-value")
* Structured versus unstructured data
* Data provenance
* Service composition
Along with reading, writing, and arithmetic, these Fourth R principles
will empower an informed and engaged 21st-century citizenry. As
Jeannette Wing argues in her computational thinking manifesto,
computer and information scientists are no longer the only ones who
need to understand and apply these principles. Now we all do.
Drawing from the experience of the elmcity case study, this talk will
explore what these Fourth R principles are, why they're hard for most
people to understand, how we can teach them, and why we should.
This event will be webcast live; for more information and a complete

Our Social Networks - A talk with Nicholas Christakis
Humans are embedded in social networks that affect every aspect of our
lives. Work in the Christakis lab involves the application of network
science and statistical and mathematical models to a variety of
observational and experimental datasets, to understand the structure
and function of human networks. What social, biological, and
mathematical principles help determine how and why human social
networks form and how they operate? One stream of work focuses on the
spreading dynamics of health-related phenomena (obesity, smoking,
emotions, altruism) in longitudinally evolving networks
("contagion"). Another stream of work examines the genetic, social,
and psychological processes that determine social network structure
("connection"). These investigations have meaningful implications for
public policy and public health.

announcements of events, employment opportunities, internships,
programs, lectures, and other activities as well as related articles
or other publications of a non-commercial nature covering the area's
food system - food, nutrition, farming, education, etc. - that take
place or focus on or around Greater Boston (broadly delineated)."
The Boston area is one of the most active nationwide in terms of food
system activities - projects, services, and events connected to food,
farming, nutrition - and often connected to education, public health,
environment, arts, social services and other arenas. Hundreds of
organizations and enterprises cover our area, but what is going on
week-to-week is not always well publicized.
Hence, the new Boston Food System listserv, as the place to let
everyone know about these activities. Specifically:
Use of the BFS list will begin soon, once we get a decent base of
subscribers. Clarification of what is appropriate to announce and
other posting guidelines will be provided as well.
