In mature virion, the assembled capsid structure is best described by a fullerene cone model that is made up from a hexameric lattice containing hexameric and pentameric capsid protein (CA). We obtained a cryo-EM structure of HIV-1 capsid assembly at 9 resolution. The density map clearly delineates all the α-helical motifs within the structure. The structure allowed unambiguous modeling and refinement by large scale molecular dynamic simulation, resulting in an all-atom model of the capsid assembly including 13 million atoms. The model revealed new hydrophobic interactions at the inter-subunit trimer interface. Further, cryoEM structural analysis of immature intermediate CA-NC assemblies revealed a marked conformational difference at this trimer interface compared to mature CA assemblies. This difference was verified via analyses of engineered disulfide crosslinking of in vitro assemblies and HIV-1 viral particles, suggesting an important role of the trimer interface in HIV-1 maturation. Using cryoEM, combined with mutagenesis and chemical cross-linking, we further investigated the direct interactions between HIV-1 CA assemblies and a host restriction factor TRIM5αrh

University of Texas: Implications for Race-Consensus Policies in Higher Education." The United States Supreme Court is expected to announce a ruling on Fisher v. University of Texas later this year. In 2008, the University of Texas at Austin denied Abigail Fisher admission to its undergraduate class of 2012. Ms. Fisher alleges that the university’s use of race as a factor in the admissions process violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The University of Texas contends that their holistic admissions process, which considers race as one factor in an individualized admissions decision, meets the guidelines established by the Supreme Court in their 2003 decision on Grutter v. Bollinger. Join the panelists for a discussion of this case and its potential implications for race-conscious policies in higher education. Panelists are: James D. Anderson, professor; Adrienne Dixson, associate professor; and William Trent, professor; all from the College of Education's Department of Education Policy, Organization and Leadership (EPOL); and OiYan A.

For strongly correlated models relevant to high-temperature superconductors, I will show that this procedure cannot account for all the charged degrees of freedom. The charged stuff which is left out cannot be given an interpretation in terms of particles. I will argue that the unparticle construction of Howard Georgi's makes up the difference. Underneath the unparticle construction is a gauge theory in anti-de Sitter space. I will close by elucidating a possible superconducting instability of unparticles and demonstrate that unparticle stuff is likely to display fractional statistics in the dimensionalities of interest for strongly correlated electron matter.
Fabbing Sensors and Drawing Gestures: Design Tools for Post-PC User Interfaces
Tuesday 26 March 2013 | 11:00AM Location unknown HCI Seminar | Bjoern Hartmann, Assistant Professor at UC Berkeley
Abstract: My research in Human-Computer Interaction focuses on design, prototyping and implementation tools for the era of post-personal computing. As computation moves away from single-user desktop applications, I investigate how new algorithms, applications and design principles can support the creation of novel user interfaces.
In this talk, I'll present one slice through my group's work: research that enables designers and developers to rapidly prototype and later robustly implement post-desktop interfaces. Making headway in this area involves working in both hardware and software. For example, my group is developing authoring tools that leverage digital fabrication processes to construct functioning prototypes of physically embodied user interfaces in a matter of hours. As a first step, we have recently developed Midas, a design tool to rapidly fabricate capacitive touch sensors based on high-level graphical specifications. Our work on input architectures supports developers that have to write robust gesture recognition code for devices that use such sensors. Our Proton system introduces a declarative gesture specification language that enables static analysis for gesture conflicts and automatic generation of gesture recognizers.
Bio: Bjoern Hartmann is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Division at UC Berkeley. He co-directs the Berkeley Institute of Design and the Berkeley Swarm Lab. His research has received numerous Best Paper Awards at ACM CHI and UIST, an Okawa Research award and an NSF CAREER award in 2012. He received his PhD from Stanford University in 2009. http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~bjoern

Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art 220 Cottage Hill Avenue in Wilder Park Elmhurst, Illinois 60126 Phone: 630.833.1616 Fax: 630.833.1225
The Lizzadro Museum displays more than 200 pieces of jade and other hard stone carvings from around the world, featuring several internationally famous pieces. Included are a fine nephrite jade imperial altar set completed during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and an exquisite cinnabar screen encrusted with carved gemstones. The screen was a birthday gift to the Chinese emperor, Qianlong (Ch’ien Lung) in 1791. Both the screen and the altar set were originally housed in the lavish imperial palaces of China.
Other prime examples of lapidary art are exhibited in the form of snuff bottles, modern and antique vases and bowls, and many other decorative and functional items. Three walls of the Museum’s main floor feature dioramas, each one a small scene populated by creatures native to that environment. Children and adults alike are fascinated by the gemstone inhabitants of these dioramas, all of which were carved in Idar-Oberstein,Germany. The Museum’s collection also features beautiful examples of Florentine and Roman stone mosaics, cameos and intaglios, and displays of faceted gemstones and mineral specimens. Finally, the awe inspiring Castle Lizzadro is an 18 karat gold sculpture with diamond windows setting on a base of mineral specimens.

In mature virion, the assembled capsid structure is best described by a fullerene cone model that is made up from a hexameric lattice containing hexameric and pentameric capsid protein (CA). We obtained a cryo-EM structure of HIV-1 capsid assembly at 9 resolution. The density map clearly delineates all the α-helical motifs within the structure.

The charged stuff which is left out cannot be given an interpretation in terms of particles. I will argue that the unparticle construction of Howard Georgi's makes up the difference. Underneath the unparticle construction is a gauge theory in anti-de Sitter space. I will close by elucidating a possible superconducting instability of unparticles and demonstrate that unparticle stuff is likely to display fractional statistics in the dimensionalities of interest for strongly correlated electron matter.
Fabbing Sensors and Drawing Gestures: Design Tools for Post-PC User Interfaces

HCI Seminar | Bjoern Hartmann, Assistant Professor at UC Berkeley
Abstract: My research in Human-Computer Interaction focuses on design, prototyping and implementation tools for the era of post-personal computing. As computation moves away from single-user desktop applications, I investigate how new algorithms, applications and design principles can support the creation of novel user interfaces.
In this talk, I'll present one slice through my group's work: research that enables designers and developers to rapidly prototype and later robustly implement post-desktop interfaces. Making headway in this area involves working in both hardware and software. For example, my group is developing authoring tools that leverage digital fabrication processes to construct functioning prototypes of physically embodied user interfaces in a matter of hours. As a first step, we have recently developed Midas, a design tool to rapidly fabricate capacitive touch sensors based on high-level graphical specifications. Our work on input architectures supports developers that have to write robust gesture recognition code for devices that use such sensors. Our Proton system introduces a declarative gesture specification language that enables static analysis for gesture conflicts and automatic generation of gesture recognizers.
Bio: Bjoern Hartmann is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Division at UC Berkeley. He co-directs the Berkeley Institute of Design and the Berkeley Swarm Lab. His research has received numerous Best Paper Awards at ACM CHI and UIST, an Okawa Research award and an NSF CAREER award in 2012. He received his PhD from Stanford University in 2009. http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~bjoern
For anyone who's interested in this..
DeleteSince the it says location unknown, I googled this page (https://wiki.engr.illinois.edu/display/hci/Seminar) and it says this:
"The seminar will be held in Siebel 3124 when readings are discussed or 3405 when we have a speaker."
So I'm guessing it will be in Siebel 3405?..

Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art

The Lizzadro Museum displays more than 200 pieces of jade and other hard stone carvings from around the world, featuring several internationally famous pieces. Included are a fine nephrite jade imperial altar set completed during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and an exquisite cinnabar screen encrusted with carved gemstones. The screen was a birthday gift to the Chinese emperor, Qianlong (Ch’ien Lung) in 1791. Both the screen and the altar set were originally housed in the lavish imperial palaces of China.
Other prime examples of lapidary art are exhibited in the form of snuff bottles, modern and antique vases and bowls, and many other decorative and functional items. Three walls of the Museum’s main floor feature dioramas, each one a small scene populated by creatures native to that environment. Children and adults alike are fascinated by the gemstone inhabitants of these dioramas, all of which were carved in Idar-Oberstein,Germany. The Museum’s collection also features beautiful examples of Florentine and Roman stone mosaics, cameos and intaglios, and displays of faceted gemstones and mineral specimens. Finally, the awe inspiring Castle Lizzadro is an 18 karat gold sculpture with diamond windows setting on a base of mineral specimens.
