Blood Battle USU vs. Weber State
Special Event
There is a severe blood shortage in the United States right now, due to disasters and the pandemic, which cancelled many blood drives and prevented donors from regular donations. Utah State and Weber State are going head to head in the name of addressing the blood shortage during Blood Battle 2021.
Each school has a goal of collecting 1,000 units of blood, which is an unprecedented aspiration! American Red Cross teams will be on hand from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM every day for a week so that donors can step up and help community members they may never meet.
Appointments are required this year, and no walk-ins will be taken. Go to redcrossblood.org and type ZIP code 84322 or the sponsor code BLEEDBLUE in the search box in the top right corner to make an appointment.
Many volunteers are also needed to staff the check-in and snack tables. Sign up for a shift or two by logging into AggiePulse, USU's service database, here: https://givepul.se/cmjix1.

Quartet for the End of Time
Arts/Entertainment
French composer Olivier Messiaen wrote his pivotal Quartet for the End of Time while he was held prisoner in a Nazi POW camp. The work was first performed by Messiaen (plano) and three of his fellow prisoners in the camp on January 15, 1941. Based on the Book of Revelations from the Christian Bible, the movements run an emotional gamut from sadness to desolation to sheer terror and, ultimately, to hope. Through these eight movements, Messiaen demonstrates that, even amidst devastation, deprivation, and incalculable human loss, the essence of the power of music and the heart of humanity is hope—certainly a theme that resonates in our current time 80 years after the work was first performed.

Hybrid Applied Mathematics Seminar
Conference/Seminar
Talk Title: Solving Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Problems with Reduced Order Models and Neural Networks
Speaker: Dr. Zilong Song Department of Math & Stat, USU
Abstract: The friction stir welding process can be modelled using a system of heat transfer and Navier-Stokes equations with a shear dependent viscosity. Finding numerical solutions of this system of nonlinear partial differential equations over a set of parameter space, however, is extremely time-consuming. Therefore, it is desirable to find a computationally efficient method that can be used to obtain an approximation of the solution with acceptable accuracy. In this talk, we present a reduced basis method for solving the parametrized coupled system of heat and Navier-Stokes equations using a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). In addition, we apply a machine learning algorithm based on an artificial neural network (ANN) to learn (approximately) the relationship between relevant parameters and the POD coefficients. Our computational experiments demonstrate that substantial speed-up can be achieved while maintaining reasonable accuracy.

Mindfulness Meditation | Sitting in breath and presence
Recreation
FREE REGISTRATION: https://bit.ly/mindfulnessandmeditationweekly
Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment. Practicing mindfulness involves breathing methods, guided imagery, and other practices to relax the body and mind and help reduce stress. Mindfulness meditation has been proven to support various health conditions - stress, anxiety, pain, depression, insomnia, high blood pressure, fibromyalgia, and more - and help you experience thoughts and emotions with greater balance and acceptance, improve attentiveness, and relieve burnout.
Practicing self care through mindfulness and meditation can help you relax and focus on what is most important - your overall wellness. This is a weekly, online wellness series hosted by the Utah State University Office of Health Equity and Community Engagement and Tribal & Rural Opioid Initiative Resource Center.

Investigations of Turbulent Multiphase Flows Using Optical Measurement Techniques
Conference/Seminar
Small inertial particles in turbulence appear in a number of environmental flows such as dust, sand, rain, snow or sediment in the atmospheric boundary layer, in rivers, during deep-sea mining or on Mars. Particle dynamics, including accelerations and concentrations, depend (among other things) on gravity and inertia. In this talk I will present results of recent high-Reynolds-number experiments of inertial particles in turbulence which are performed in a turbulence box (Re? = 450) and an atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel (Ret = 19,000). These results are of direct use in prediction and modeling of phenomena such as droplet growth in clouds, fall speed of snowflakes and particle concentrations in dust storms.

A tried and true technique to experience fascia and connective tissue release, Yin yoga is also an excellent practice for beginners because it offers plenty of time to uncover the unique benefits of individual poses without worrying about tricky transitions.

Title: Sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification using novel physics-constrained machine learning
Speaker: Dr. Hamidreza Karbasian, Fields Institute, University of Toronto
Abstract:
A new physics-constrained data-driven approach is proposed for sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification of large-scale chaotic dynamical systems. Unlike conventional sensitivity analysis, this approach can solve the unsteady sensitivity function for PDE-constrained optimizations. In this new approach, high-dimensional governing equations, such as Navier-Stokes equations, from physical space are transformed into an unphysical space to develop a closure model in the form of a Reduced-Order Model (ROM). Subsequently, a new data sampling approach is proposed to build a data-driven approach for this framework. It is shown that the proposed approach can capture sensitivities for large-scale chaotic dynamical systems, where Finite Difference (FD) approximations fail ...
