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. |

10月16日，科学家们将公布引力波天文学的新发展
北京时间10月16日22时(美国东部时间10月16日10时)，来自LIGO，VIGO和大约70个天文台的科学家代表们，将在华盛顿特区的国家记者俱乐部，举行两场新闻发布会，公布引力波探测中的新发现和细节。
2015年9月14日，LIGO科学家们首次探测到了引力波，并于2016年2月11日发布，这是物理和天文学的一个里程碑，它证实了爱因斯坦1915年发表的广义相对论中的一个重大预测，标志着引力波天文学领域的开始。从那时起，人类已经捕捉到了四起引力波事件，最近的一次引力波事件是由LIGO和VIRGO同时探测到，也是VIRGO首次探测到。根据科学网的引用数据，发表的文章引用LIGO前三次引力波事件，引用总计超过1700次。
这两场分别于北京时间10月16日22时和23时15开始，中间间隔15分钟，预计于北京时间10月17日零点30分结束。
北京时间10月16日22时：第一场新闻发布会，出席的科学家有：
主持人：美国国家科学基金会主任弗朗丝·科尔多瓦(France Córdova)
加州理工学院，LIGO实验室执行主任大卫·瑞兹(David Reitze)

阿姆斯特丹自由大学物理研究院，Virgo合作组织发言人Jo van den Brand
NASA戈达德太空飞行中心费米项目科学家Julie McEnery
意大利格兰萨索科学研究所，Virgo合作组织Marica Branchesi
西北大学，LIGO科学合作组织天体物理学家Vicky Kalogera
北京时间10月16日23时 - YouTube Q&A
北京时间10月16日23时15分：第二场新闻发布会，出席的科学家有：
主持人：美国国家科学基金会副主任Jim Ulvestad
