- 11:00 AM1hMarine Sciences Seminar: Danielle FreemanDanielle FreemanUConn Marine SciencesQuantifying the effects of sunlight on the fate of oil spilled at sea Oil spilled at sea is transformed by sunlight-driven photochemical reactions. The transformed oil has different properties and behavior in the environment compared to the fresh oil, resulting in different fates and effects. This presentation will describe experimental efforts to put numbers on these changes, with the goal of better predicting where oil goes and how it behaves in diverse spill scenarios. First, I focused on how sunlight generates water-soluble compounds from oil, which can lead to the dissolution of oil-derived compounds in seawater (photo-dissolution). To find out whether photo-dissolution could be an important fate process during an oil spill, I used a combination of experiments and photochemical rate modeling to calculate photo-dissolution rates for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill (DwH) in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). I found that photo-dissolution likely converted ~8% of the floating surface oil to dissolved organic carbon during DwH, a fraction similar in magnitude to other well-recognized fate processes. Moving beyond DwH, I evaluated the sensitivity of this finding to temperature. I found that if a spill like DwH had occurred in 5°C water rather than the exceptionally warm 30°C water of the GoM, 7x less oil could have dissolved via photo-dissolution. The net result is that more oil would stay at the sea surface in a cold-water spill. Finally, I determined photo-dissolution rates for diverse oil products beyond the light crude that spilled during DwH. I found that oil photo-reactivity could be predicted from oil chemical composition. I also found that photo-dissolution likely affects oil mass balance in spills of light oils forming thin slicks but not in spills of light or heavy oils forming thick slicks. Overall, this work advances our understanding of how oil changes in the environment upon sunlight exposure. This information can be applied to better predict, evaluate, and mitigate the effects of oil spilled at sea.Host: Penny VlahosTime & Date: 11:00 am, Friday, September 27, 2024Place: Lowell Weicker Building, Seminar Room 103 (or WebEx)Request Seminar InformationCancellation & Additional Seminar Details (https://marinesciences.uconn.edu/seminar/seminar1248/) If you are an individual with a disability and need accommodations, please contact 860-405-9152 (tel:+18604059152) or email marinesciencesseminars@uconn.edu (mailto:marinesciencesseminars@uconn.edu).

- 2:00 PM1hLogic Colloquium: Yale Weiss (CUNY)Join us for a talk in the Logic Colloquium by Yale Weiss (CUNY Graduate Center): "A relevant framework for barriers to entailment" In her recent book, Russell (2023) examines various so-called "barriers to entailment", including Hume's law, roughly the thesis that an 'ought' cannot be derived from an 'is'. Hume's law bears an obvious resemblance to the proscription on fallacies of modality in relevance logic, which has traditionally formally been captured by the so-called Ackermann property. In the context of relevant modal logic, this property might be articulated thus: no conditional whose antecedent is box-free and whose consequent is box-prefixed is valid (for the connection, interpret box deontically). While the deontic significance of Ackermann-like properties has been observed before, Russell's new book suggests a more broad-scoped formal investigation of the relationship between barrier theses of various kinds and corresponding Ackermann-like properties. In this talk, I undertake such an investigation by elaborating a general relevant bimodal logical framework in which several of the barriers Russell examines can be given formal expression. I then consider various Ackermann-like properties corresponding to these barriers and prove that certain systems satisfy them. Finally, I respond to some objections Russell makes against the use of relevance logic to formulate Hume's law and related barriers.https://logic.uconn.edu/calendar/ (https://logic.uconn.edu/calendar/) All welcome!

- 4:00 PM1h 30mECOM Speaker Series: Prof. Mark JaryMark Jary is currently a María Zambrano Research Fellow at the Department of Linguistics and Basque Studies in the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). He is also Emeritus Professor in Linguistics and Philosophy at the University of Roehampton (London, UK), where he taught Linguistics and Philosophy of Language for over 20 years. He received his PhD in Linguistics from University College London and has written extensively on subjects relating to linguistic mood, speech acts and associated topics. As well as articles in journals such as Mind and Language and Linguistics and Philosophy, he has published three books: Assertion (Palgrave, 2010), Imperatives (CUP, 2014 – co-authored with Mikhail Kissine) and Nothing is Said (OUP, 2022). Abstract: What is what is said? The models of utterance interpretation that we build will be determined to a significant extent by how we characterise linguistic communication. The dominant characterisation sees linguistic communication as a case of saying something and thereby conveying both what is said and something extra. Given this characterisation, a model of linguistic communication is required to have what is said as an output of the process of interpretation, or of some sub-part of this. In this talk, I present an alternative characterisation of utterances in terms of pairs of situation types linked by a situation-theoretic constraint (in the sense of Barwise and Perry, 1983). Because this characterisation makes no mention of saying, any appeal to what is said in a model of linguistic communication must be independently motivated. Building on ideas developed in Nothing is Said (OUP, 2022), I will suggest that such motivation is not readily available, and that we are better off thinking of what is said as a second-order reflective category, rather than as a fundament of linguistic communication.

- 5:00 PM1hAll Recovery MeetingsAll Recovery Meetings are available for UConn students. The meetings are a gathering for all who struggle with substance use and/or other mental and behavioral health disorders. An All Recovery meeting is 'non-denominational' meaning all pathways of recovery are embraced here. A universal recovery topic is chosen and then the group discusses it. It is not affiliated with any "Anonymous" program although you are likely to hear comments associated with 12 step fellowships. Meetings are facilitated by a student member of the URC supported by a Recovery Coach and held in person and online for students from all of UConn's campuses.
- 5:00 PM1h 30m150th Foreign Policy Seminar with Brooke Blower (BU)Professor Blower's research focuses on modern American political culture, travel, and war especially in urban and transnational contexts. Her most recent book is Americans in a World at War: Intimate Histories from the Crash of Pan Am's Yankee Clipper(Oxford University Press, 2023). Combat GIs dominate the history of Americans abroad during World War II. But these soldiers constituted only a small fraction of the unprecedented millions of Americans stationed on six continents, both in and out of uniform, during the twentieth century's signal conflict. Americans in a World at War tells a panoramic story of seven worldly noncombatants, their personal histories, their politics, and the paths that led them to all board the same seaplane bound for Lisbon in February 1943. When the Yankee Clipper crashed in the Tagus River, it took five of their lives but left a paper trail that leads to a richer, deeper understanding of the cross-cutting political and ideological dimensions of Americans' war efforts. Reception starts at 4:30pm; the talk will begin at 5pm. Please RSVP to Prof. Frank Costigliola if you would like to join us for dinner.
