Driving instructions can be found on the building's web site (www.sprinklerfactory.com). Open, non-instructional figure drawing group meets every Tuesday Night! The format of the workshop is that one long pose is set for the evening. The Atelier maintains a large active list of models, therefore artists can expect a different model each week. The studio is equipped with easels and chairs and lite refreshments are provided. Artists must bring their own media. Walk-ins are welcome, but space can be limited, so we suggested reserving a spot in advance. The workshop is a great resource for experienced artists in the area and is a great opportunity for young artists and students that need to develop a portfolio for art school.

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 18:54:02 GMT Dhiman Bhadra (University of Florida)-Bayesian Semiparametric Analysis of Case-Control Studies with Time Varying Exposures (Tue, Feb 16) http://www.socialweb.net/Clients/WPI/student.lasso?id=105466 http://www.socialweb.net/Clients/WPI/student.lasso?id=105466#2010-02-16-11:00:00 ma-chair@wpi.edu 11:00 AM-12:00 PM, WPI: Stratton Hall, 203, 100 Institute Road, Worcester, MA ABSTRACT: Case-control data analysis marks an important research area where statisticians have made significant contributions over the years. The fundamental problem in these studies is the comparison of a group of subjects having a particular disease (cases) to a group of disease free subjects (controls) with respect to some potential risk factors of the disease. In a typical case-control study, the exposure information is collected only once for the cases and controls. However, some recent medical studies have indicated that a longitudinal approach of incorporating the entire exposure history, when available, may lead to more precise estimates of the odds ratios of disease. In this work, we conduct a analysis of a case-control study when longitudinal exposure information is available for both cases and controls. We use semiparametric regression procedures to model the exposure profiles of the cases and controls and also the influence pattern of the exposure profile on the disease status. This enables us to analyze how the present disease status of a subject is influenced by his/her past exposure conditions conditional on the current ones. Analysis is carried out in a hierarchical Bayesian framework using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms. The proposed methodology is motivated by, and applied to a case control study of prostate cancer where longitudinal biomarker information is available for the cases and controls.

During the session, free lunch will be provided and graduate students will present their experiences and views on the FPE department and growing field of Fire Protection Engineering. During the presentation, several videos will be shown that include a flash-over fire test and the mock dorm room fire which was done on the quad last year. There will also be free raffle and freebies! A live fire demonstration will be done in the fire science lab by Scott Rockwell,a Ph.D. candidate in the FPE department. The demo will cover diffusion and premixed flames, electrical fires, premixed solids, extinguishment methods, a fire whirl, and a small dust explosion. Due to the size of the fire lab, a maximum of 40 people can attend the information session.
