    Title: “A new kind of breathing solution in time-varying media”

    Abstract: Systems whose physical properties change in time have gained significant recent attention in many scientific fields. In this talk, a time-varying system in the realm of pressure waves will be examined. It will be shown that a new kind of solution structure exists: one that is localized in the time domain and periodic in the spatial domain. This solution is a direct counterpart of the famous “breather” solution, which is localized in space and periodic in time (in other words, the role of space and time have been switched). Numerical simulations, experiments and rigorous analysis will be brought together to study this novel solution within the emerging area of time varying media.

     

    The KSU Mathematics Colloquium is a seminar series that brings in researchers from other universities to present results on all areas of Mathematics. The talks are targeted at general audiences of students and professors.

    Putnam Exam Mathematical Competition Practice Session
    1:00pm
    at Atrium Building, J-217

    The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition is a yearly math contest for undergraduate students around the United States. The competition is always held on the first Saturday of December; this year, it is on Saturday, December 7th. KSU students will be able to participate in person on the Marietta campus.

     

    If you are interested in participating in the competition or attending any of the practice sessions, please visit the website or email Dr. Mikhail Lavrov.

     

    The Putnam competition is a very intense experience. To help you feel more prepared for it, and/or to help you decide if you want to participate, Dr. Lavrov will be holding several (much less intense) Putnam practices throughout the fall semester. No prior math competition experience is required. Familiarity with proof-writing (for example, via Math 2390: Introduction to Logic, Sets, and Proofs) is encouraged, but one of my goals with the practice sessions is to give you some extracurricular practice in proof-writing.

     

    As far as being prepared for the Putnam itself, by far the most important prerequisite is becoming comfortable with creative problem-solving: a skill that will serve you well in any field. The problems in the competition cover a variety of mathematical topics, but none of them are routine exercises; to solve them, you will have to explore, try things that don't work, develop insights, and turn those insights into rigorous arguments.

    Carrington Chun

    (Advisor: Dr. Muhammad Hassan Tanveer)

    will propose a doctoral thesis entitled,

    Advanced Multimodal Planetary Surface Exploration for Scientific CanBots

    On

    Wednesday, November 11th at 2:00 PM

    Engineering Technology Center, Room Q315

    Abstract

    Planetary surface exploration remains one of the great challenges for robotic vehicles, as environments found on other planets are often rough, unstructured, and unpredictable. However, in Humanity’s continuing endeavor to explore strange new worlds and seek answers to questions such as if life exists beyond earth, adaptable and capable mobility solutions are required to boldly go where humankind cannot. This research first establishes a novel robotic system, known as the CanBot, to act as a terrestrial analogue for small-scale planetary surface rovers. The CanBot addresses a relevant technology gap created by the miniaturization of planetary surface rovers and the need to develop flight heritage for space-bound systems. Through the vector of CanBots, this research also develops a novel space-oriented Multimodal Mobility system. Historically, planetary surface mobility has consisted of the springless Rocker-Bogie suspension system for wheeled ground-based locomotion. In more recent history, the first aerial helicopter was flown on Mars establishing the only precedent for powered flight on other planets. Through the novel combination of both an aerial propeller-based locomotion system and a modified version of the terrestrial Rocker-Bogie system, a unique mechanism for exploring the surface of other planets will be demonstrated. Such a system will be able to travel faster and farther than typical terrestrial vehicles, while still demonstrating the precise and deft movement afforded by a terrestrial robot. The proposed locomotive approach will also attempt to demonstrate hybrid modalities where CanBots will be able to climb extreme inclines beyond what classical wheeled robots can handle.

    Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar
    Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar
    2:30pm
    at Mathematics Building, D-224

    Speaker: Rik Westdorp, Leiden University
    Title: “Stochastic Soliton Dynamics in the Korteweg-De Vries Equation with Multiplicative”
    Abstract: In recent years, stochastic traveling waves have become a major area of interest in the field of stochastic PDEs. Various approaches have been introduced to study the effects of noise on traveling waves, mainly in the setting of Reaction-Diffusion equations. Of particular interest is the notion of a stochastic wave position and its dynamics. This talk focuses on solitary waves in the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Due to a scaling symmetry, this dispersive PDE supports a solitary wave family of various amplitudes and velocities. We introduce stochastic processes that track the amplitude and position of solitons under the influence of multiplicative noise over long time-scales. Our method is based on a rescaled frame and stability properties of the solitary waves. We formula expansions for the stochastic soliton amplitude and position, and compare their leading-order dynamics with numerical simulations. This is joint work with Prof. H. J. Hupkes.

    Discrete Mathematics Seminar
    2:30pm

    Speaker: Patricia Commins, University of Minnesota
    Title: “Algebraic structures arising from hyperplane arrangements”
    Abstract: A hyperplane arrangement is a collection of (n-1)-dimensional subspaces of n-dimensional Euclidean space. The hyperplanes subdivide the ambient space into faces. These faces turn out to have an multiplicative structure that is well-studied for its connections to probability (Markov chains) and algebraic combinatorics. In this talk, we will introduce faces of hyperplane arrangements and their applications, with a special focus on the “braid” hyperplane arrangement. We will then explore the extra algebraic structures one obtains by acting on the faces of the braid arrangement by the symmetric group, and finish with some of my recent work in this area.

    Putnam Exam Mathematical Competition Practice Session
    Putnam Exam Mathematical Competition Practice Session
    1:00pm
    at Atrium Building, J-217

    The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition is a yearly math contest for undergraduate students around the United States. The competition is always held on the first Saturday of December; this year, it is on Saturday, December 7th. KSU students will be able to participate in person on the Marietta campus.

     

    If you are interested in participating in the competition or attending any of the practice sessions, please visit the website or email Dr. Mikhail Lavrov.

     

    The Putnam competition is a very intense experience. To help you feel more prepared for it, and/or to help you decide if you want to participate, Dr. Lavrov will be holding several (much less intense) Putnam practices throughout the fall semester. No prior math competition experience is required. Familiarity with proof-writing (for example, via Math 2390: Introduction to Logic, Sets, and Proofs) is encouraged, but one of my goals with the practice sessions is to give you some extracurricular practice in proof-writing.

     

    As far as being prepared for the Putnam itself, by far the most important prerequisite is becoming comfortable with creative problem-solving: a skill that will serve you well in any field. The problems in the competition cover a variety of mathematical topics, but none of them are routine exercises; to solve them, you will have to explore, try things that don't work, develop insights, and turn those insights into rigorous arguments.

    Writing Like a Teacher w/ Dr. James Lang: Expanding the Audiences for Your Research

     

    Event Type: In-Person

     

    Although many academics hope to find a wide audience for their work, writing for the public can prove challenging to writers deeply embedded in the complexities of their fields. According to author James M. Lang, faculty who would like to write for more public audiences can draw upon their pedagogical knowledge to create better learning experiences for readers. This approach draws lessons from Lang’s work as a book series acquisition editor, his multiple books aimed at general academic audiences, and his dozens of published magazine and newspaper essays. Participants will be introduced to a small set of principles and models that have been used by academic writers who have written successful trade books and built strong public platforms. During this interactive workshop with Dr. James Lang, they will also have the opportunity to apply some of the workshop’s principles to their own current or future projects and raise any questions they might have about the writing and publishing process.

    SGIA Brown Bag Research Series: Why Read Tolstoy?
    10:30am
    at Social Sciences Building, 1019

    Dr. Jack Moran of School of Government and International Affairs presents "Why Read Tolstoy?". The talk will touch upon his book, A Prophet of Modern Delusions, as well as related topics.

     

    Book Description: Throughout his major works, Leo Tolstoy argues that the central problem of the modern world is its delusional character. We have become delusional about the utility of science, the effects of music, the nature of love and the divine, and the inescapable reality of death. A Prophet of Modern Delusions: Tolstoy’s Critique of Modernity explores Tolstoy’s arguments regarding these delusions. In so doing, it illustrates the continuing relevance of Tolstoy’s writings to those who desire to understand the complexities of modernity and who wish to be roused from deeply entrenched ways of thinking that may be delusional.

    Webinar on Using Discussions Effectively in Online Courses
    1:00pm

    Click Here to Register

    Do you use discussions in your online courses? Or do you totally avoid them because you want to eliminate inane exchanges between students that makes no sense and adds no value to the class or to their learning? Do you think it’s important for students to engage in online discussions, but you are not sure how to proceed? Have you used discussions, but they have not been as effective or engaging? Or you have never really thought about the usefulness of discussions as an engagement and interactive tool in online teaching and learning? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, this webinar is for you.

    During the “Using Discussions Effectively in Online Courses” webinar session, we will demonstrate how instructors can effectively include discussions in their online courses, how they can make grading these discussions less of a chore and more of a learning experience for students and how incorporating discussions based on high fidelity topics can add value to learning opportunities for students and help them understand concepts through peer interaction and instructor guidance.

      Title: DesignSynthesis, and NMR-Guided Characterization of a Targeted Covalent Inhibitor-Like Molecule Against Ivyp1 from P. aeruginosa

      Abstract: Multi-drug resistance poses a serious threat to future generations and historical antibiotic pipelines; consequently, the medical and economic burdens associated with treating multidrug-resistant bacteria are substantiated. In this context, P. aeruginosa (PA) emerges as one of the most significant healthcare challenges, being a leading cause of resistance-associated mortality worldwide. Despite modern efforts to combat these poor outcomes, drug-resistant cases continue to rise, and the need for novel antibiotic treatment is apparent. To this end, we investigated relevant resistance mechanisms and past antibiotic targets within PA, and in doing so, we identified relationships between peptidoglycan biology and a periplasmic protein, Inhibitor of Vertebrate Lysozyme (Ivyp1). Following this connection and previous reports, we formulated a drug discovery campaign to satisfy the need for novel antibiotics in PA. Our hypothesis poses that drug-based inhibition of Ivyp1 will perturb peptidoglycan biology in P. aeruginosa, rendering PA susceptible to combinatorial antibiotic treatments. Here, we report the rational design and synthesis of three targeted covalent inhibitor-like molecules (compounds 3a-3c) against Ivyp1. Specifically, our scaffold makes use of a non-covalent driving group, aliphatic linkers, and a rhenium(I)-based warhead to direct covalent modification at a biologically relevant site. NMR-guided characterizations of synthetic intermediates (compounds 1a-1c) with Ivyp1 support a potential mechanism of drug-based inhibition; however, solubility issues prevented similar protein-based investigations with compounds (3a-3c), ultimately obstructing our progress. In all, this work builds the foundation for a drug discovery campaign against P. aeruginosa—in which a novel, drug-based modulator of peptidoglycan biology is discovered—while also highlighting frequent obstacles in drug and antibiotic discovery. Future experiments will expand on our synthetic results and pursue structure-activity relationships.

      Book Chat | How Learning Works: Motivation

      Facilitator: Michele DiPietro

      A grounding in the learning sciences is crucial for any student success efort. In the second edition of the popular "How Learning Works" (100,000 copies sold, translated into 6 languages) CETL Executive Director Michele DiPietro and his co-authors review the research on learning and syntesize it in 8 interrelated principles. In this series, we will read and discuss the book through the year, focusing on one principle at a time. This session focuses on the fourth principle, unpacking theories of motivation and the levers instructor can utilize to motivate students. Each session can be attended individually. The first 18 new registrants will receive a free copy of the book.

      How'd Your Semester Go? Reflecting for Growth

      Facilitator: Rebecca Weaver

      Once you've turned in your grades for the semester, it's pretty tempting to close the computer and go bake cookies or pack for a trip or turn to other things. But you noticed some things this semester about what and how your students learned. Maybe you're still thinking about that one class session in the middle of the semester where everything went right (or nothing did). Maybe, as you're starting to calculate semester grades, you're seeing certain trends or surprises. This workshop will provide space and time for participants to reflect on how their teaching went this semester, and will include a set of takeaway strategies for reflecting on future semesters. A short "pre-work" prepatory assignment will be sent out a week before the chat.
