COMPLEX NETWORKS: THEORY, METHODS, AND APPLICATIONS(4th edition)
Lake Como School of Advanced Studies
Villa del Grumello, Como, Italy, 14-18 May 2018
http://ntmd.lakecomoschool.org/
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: February 18, 2018
Many real systems can be modeled as networks, where the elements of the system are nodes and interactions between elements are edges. An even larger set of systems can be modeled using dynamical processes on networks, which are in turn affected by the dynamics. Networks thus represent the backbone of many complex systems, and their theoretical and computational analysis makes it possible to gain insights into numerous applications. Networks permeate almost every conceivable discipline---including sociology, transportation, economics and finance, biology, and myriad others---and the study of "network science" has thus become a crucial component of modern scientific education.
The school "Complex Networks: Theory, Methods, and Applications" offers a succinct education in network science. It is open to all aspiring scholars in any area of science or engineering who wish to study networks of any kind (whether theoretical or applied), and it is especially addressed to doctoral students and young postdoctoral scholars. The aim of the school is to deepen into both theoretical developments and applications in targeted fields.

1. The FDA has recently approved the HeartMate 3™ Left Ventricular Assist System to be marketed. The HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist System (LVAS) is a heart pump system that helps the heart's left ventricle (the main pumping chamber of the heart) deliver blood to all parts of the body. The device is used for heart failure patients whose hearts are unable to pump blood effectively. The HeartMate 3 LVAS is made up of a blood pump that is implanted inside the patient's body and a pump controller with batteries that remains outside the patient's body.
2. The FDA has recently approved the HeartWare™ HVAD™ System to be marketed. The HeartWare™ HVAD™ System is a pump that helps the heart's left ventricle (the main pumping chamber of the heart) deliver blood to the rest of the body. It is used in some patients who have endstage heart failure, both those who are waiting for a heart transplant and those who are not eligible to receive a heart transplant. The system consists of a blood pump that is implanted inside the patient's body and a pump controller that remains outside the patient's body.
3. The FDA has recently approved the PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx to be marketed. This is a laboratory test doctors used to identify the protein, PD-L1, in tumor tissue obtained from gastric cancer patients. This laboratory test helps doctors decide whether patient is eligible for treatment with the medicine KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab).

The Fall and Rise of Typical Sampling in 1950s China: Locating "Method'' in Great Leap ‘Madness''
Thursday, October 26, 2017
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Bunche Hall 10383
Talk by Arunabh Ghosh, Harvard University
1958 marks a watershed in the history of the early People’s Republic of China (PRC). The execution of the first five-year plan (1953-57) had been a success, meeting and in many cases exceeding targets. And yet, instead of a second five-year plan that built upon the first one, China was launched down the path of the Great Leap Forward (GLF; 1958-1961). Today, the GLF is inextricably linked with the massive famine that followed in its wake. As a subject of research, the GLF and the famine have been explored from various perspectives and the total number of deaths remains a hotly contested subject. Such scholarship typically acknowledges—though often only in passing—that the GLF was accompanied by the dismantling of statistical work, which fundamentally crippled the state and leadership’s ability to access reliable data. There does not exist, however, any detailed account of what precisely such ‘dismantling’ meant. In this paper, I explore that question by tracing the evolution of statistical capacity building since the establishment of the PRC in 1949 and determining what precisely happened to statistics and statistical work during the GLF. Relying upon archival reports, newspapers, contemporary professional journals, and memoirs, I trace how a form of typical sampling—典型调查 (dianxing diaocha)—was revalidated as the only true way to ascertain social fact. Such an exercise can help us think more broadly about the history of data, state (technical) capacity, and the ways in which ideas about ‘accurate’ and ‘representative’ measurement remain at the heart of global modernity.
Arunabh Ghosh is a historian of modern China, with research and teaching interests in social and economic history, history of science and statecraft, transnational history, and China-India history.
Ghosh’s current in-progress book manuscript, entitled "Making it Count: Statistics and Statecraft in the early People''s Republic of China, 1949-1959," is under contract with Princeton University Press. The book investigates how the early PRC state built statistical capacity to know the nation through numbers. He has conducted research for the book in Beijing, Guangzhou, New Delhi, and Kolkata, and his work has been supported by grants and fellowships from the Andrew F. Mellon Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Social Science Research Council, and Columbia University.
Trained at Haverford College and at Tsinghua and Columbia universities, Ghosh joined the History Department in 2015 from the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies, where he was an Academy Scholar for the 2014-15 AY.

1. The FDA has recently approved the remedē® System. The remedē System is an implanted nerve stimulator used to treat moderate to severe central sleep apnea (CSA) in adults. The system includes a battery-powered pulse generator that is implanted under the skin in the upper chest and thin wire leads that are threaded through veins near the nerve that stimulates breathing (phrenic nerve). The system is programmed using an external System Programmer and Programming Wand.
2. The FDA has recently approved the Impella RP® System. The Impella RP System is a temporary right heart pump system intended to help patients maintain stable heart function without open chest surgery. It includes a mini heart pump mounted at the end of a thin, flexible tube (catheter), a console that drives the pump, and an infusion system that flushes the pump.
3. FDA has recently approved the Endurant II/Endurant IIs Stent Graft System to be marketed. The Endurant II/Endurant IIs Stent Graft System (also referred to as Endurant II/IIs Stent Graft System) is a flexible fabric tube supported by a metal framework (stent graft), which is used to repair a weakened and bulging section (aneurysm) of the abdominal aorta (largest artery in the abdomen). The stent graft is placed using a long, thin, tube-like device (delivery catheter). In some patients, the Heli-FX EndoAnchor System can be used with the Endurant II/IIs Stent Graft System to help hold the stent graft in place. The Heli-FX EndoAnchor System places small wire coils through the top part of the stent graft into the artery wall to keep the stent graft from moving.

Insensate Intimacy in Recent Asian Films
Thursday, October 19, 2017
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Bunche Hall 10383
Talk by Jean Ma, Stanford University
The talk addresses the presence of sleeping characters in recent Asian films. Works directed by Tsai Ming-liang and Apichatpong Weerasethakul devote considerable portions of screen time to characters in states of unconsciousness, contravening standard ideas of what counts as narratively meaningful action in movies. Sleep would seems to represent the very negation of drama, as a paradigmatic instance of inaction and the dead time that editing typically strives to eliminate. But these filmmakers turn this conventional coding of sleep on its head as part of a project to re-attune perception and to recalibrate the sense of passing time. Moreover, the presence of such unconscious characters forges a link between Tsai and Apichatpong as queer auteurs, prominent figures not only on the international art film circuit but also in contemporary queer Asian cinema. Sleep plays a central role in the universe of desires and relationships constructed by these filmmakers, a universe that does not necessarily align with western paradigms of visibility and recognition. Acts of drifting off and waking up bind their characters together in webs of intimacy and sociality. I explore the significance of sleep for a queer relational mode based on asymmetry, vulnerability, and care, a mode that I designate as insensate intimacy.
Jean Ma is an Associate Professor in the Department of Art and Art History at Stanford University, where she teaches in the Film and Media Studies Program. She is the author of Melancholy Drift: Marking Time in Chinese Cinema (2010) and Sounding the Modern Woman: The Songstress in Chinese Cinema (2015), and a coeditor of Still Moving: Between Cinema and Photography (2008) and “Sound and Music,” a special issue of the Journal of Chinese Cinemas. Her work has appeared in Camera Obscura, Criticism, Grey Room, Film Quarterly, Post Script, and Journal of Chinese Cinemas. She is the coeditor of “Music, Sound, and Media,” a new book series from the University of California Press.
Going West and Going Out: Discourses, migrants and models in Chinese development
Friday, October 20, 2017
1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
1261 Bunche Hall
Talk by Emily Yeh, University of Colorado-Boulder
In 1999, China announced the launching of the Open up the West campaign, sometimes called “Go West,” to help western China finally catch up to the much wealthier eastern, coastal areas after several decades of lagging behind. The same year, China also announced a “Go Out” strategy, to encourage Chinese investment abroad. The fifteen years since then have witnessed dramatic Chinese government investment in various development activities in western regions of China, as well as around the world. Though rarely considered together, I will argue in this talk that there are significant parallels, in development discourse, the centrality of physical infrastructure, the characteristics of Chinese labor migration and the nature of migrant-local relations, and the application of “models from elsewhere” in Go West and Go Out. Considering these parallels can help shed light on Chinese development discourse and practice, as China becomes increasingly important in the field of development once dominated by Western countries. Finally, I will briefly consider direct connections and convergences between the two strategies in China’s neighboring countries of Asia and in the One Belt One Road initiative. |
