Abstract:
ObjetivoApresentar os resultados de validade e fidedignidade da University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Tabaco 24 itens.MétodosFoi realizado um estudo instrumental, através da validação e a adaptação brasileira do instrumento.ResultadosOs resultados obtidos de fidedignidade da University of Rhode Island Change Assessment, através do alpha de Cronbach, foram os seguintes: Pré-contemplação (a=0,5548), Contemplação (a=0,7823), Ação (a=0,8054) e Manutenção (a=0,7961). A validade concorrente mostrou-se satisfatória, havendo correlações positivas e altamente significativas entre a Prontidão para Mudança da University of Rhode Island Change Assessment e a Régua de Prontidão (p=0,007) e de intensidade baixa (r=0,196). O nível de Prontidão para mudança também foi avaliado a partir da equação Contemplação + Ação + Manutenção - Pré-contemplação = Prontidão Total.ConclusãoOutra evidência de validade foi verificada por meio dos resultados experimentais, em que ocorreram diferenças significativas nos escores pré e pós-intervenção motivacional em grupo. A partir de análises estatísticas, foi construído o escore T, realizando a normatização brasileira da University of Rhode Island Change Assessment para usuários de tabaco. Os resultados mostram um instrumento com boas propriedades psicométricas, e, de forma mais ampla, que pode auxiliar em programas de intervenção para tabagistas.Palavras-chave: Comportamento. Escalas.

Abstract:
Since 2008, the Rhode Island (RI) Coastal Resources Management Council has been leading the development of an Ocean Special Area Management Plan (Ocean SAMP), in partnership with the University of Rhode Island, resulting in an extensive multidisciplinary analysis of the Rhode Island offshore environment and its suitability to site offshore wind farms. As part of SAMP, a comprehensive macro-siting optimization tool: the Wind Farm Siting Index (WIFSI), integrating technical, societal, and ecological constraints, was developed within the conceptual framework of ecosystem services. WIFSI uses multivariate statistical analyses (principal component and k-means cluster analyses) to define homogeneous regions, which integrate and balance ecological and societal constraints as part of a Cost/Benefit tool. More recently, a Wind Farm micro-Siting Optimization Tool was developed (WIFSO), which uses a genetic algorithm to derive the optimal layout of a wind farm sited within one of the macro-siting selected regions. In this work, we present an overview of the current state of development of the integrated macro- and micro- siting tools.

Abstract:
Abstract The University of Rhode Island Engaging Generations Cyber-Seniors Program was first implemented in the fall semester of 2015. URI students from 15+ majors have supported the digital competency of older adults in Rhode Island each semester and summer session since its inception. Gradually over time, we modified and expanded this in-person program to meet student, older adult, community partner, and faculty needs. The pandemic led to our program expanding exponentially due to new grant funding opportunities, new partnerships, and student interest. This presentation will address strengths and challenges of implementing this program state-wide in a small, mostly urban state with community partners, mostly involving senior centers. We will describe moving from in-person to phone/virtual and now to a hybrid model. Last, we will explain the program’s efforts to conduct formative and summative evaluation research to assess program output and examine outcomes for students and older adults in the program.

Abstract:
This article examines the use of one low-grade raw material, Narragansett Basin argillite, by prehistoric peoples in southeastern New England. Petrographic sections analyzed by Dr. Dan Murray (Geologist, University of Rhode Island) have provided a detailed account of the lithology of this material. Rock formation processes and lithic sources are also discussed. Artifact analysis has provided data pertaining to the prehistoric periods when Narragansett Basin argillite was most often used by prehistoric populations in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts. An examination of tool manufacturing techniques has brought to light striking similarities between argillite and quartz Small Stemmed points further supporting the hypothesis of an in situ development of the Small Stemmed Point tradition in New England.

The specific objectives were: make a semantic adaptation of the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale (URICA) to use the scale on the behavior of Compulsive Eating; verify the reliability and validity of the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale (URICA) for the conduct of Compulsive Eating. The sample consisted of 175 subjects who had the behavior of Compulsive Eating, that were in treatment group or individual with this focus. The age group between 18 and 65 years old and required minimum schooling was 5th grade of elementary school. It was excluded from the sample subjects who did not understand the sentences of the instrument. The instruments used were structured interview created for this study, to collect sociodemographic data and history of feeding behavior, Ruler of Readiness, SOCRATES Scale, URICA Scale (these three instruments to evaluate the motivational stages and readiness to change), ECAP (scale which measures the severity of eating compulsion), BAI (Beck Anxiety Inventory), BDI ( Beck Depression Inventory) and BITE (Bulimic Investigatory Test of Edinburgh). The sample was composed for 175 subjects, 164 women (93,7%), and 11 men (6,3%), the average age of subjects was 41. 05 (SD=13,10). All participants were from the cities of Greater Porto Alegre, 134 subjects were collected at care group places and 41 were in individual treatment. The average age of initiation of weight gain was 22,8 years old, SD=12,2. The average age that the beginning of Compulsive Eating was close to 21,9 years old, SD=9,4. The average age of the first weight treatment was 24,4 years old, SD=11,5.The reliability found, based on Cronbach’s coefficient, to URICA (Brazilian adaptation to the behavior of Compulsive Eating, 24 items version) was T = 0,80 and in the subscales for the pre-contemplation was T = 0,53, contemplation T = 0,73, action T = 0,90 and maintaining T = 0,81.<br>Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo estudar as propriedades psicométricas da University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale (URICA) para o comportamento de comer compulsivo.

Abstract:
Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1988.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 117-122).<br>This is a study of the design competition for the new State House in Providence, Rhode Island, which began in 1890 and ended in 1892. The competition was supervised by the Rhode Island State House Commission, a body formed by the legislature and presided over by former Rhode Island Governor Herbert W. Ladd. The Commission was initiated in January 1890 and began meetings in May 1890. The competition ran in two parts. First local Rhode Island architects were invited to compete and then a group of nationally known architects were brought in to compete with three of the Rhode Island firms. The interest in this building and the competition which led to its construction lies in the style of the completed building and in who was selected to design it. McKim, Mead & White were the winners of the competition and they produced a design (and eventually a building) which is a monument to the then new trend in American classicism which became popularized through the vehicle of the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago. This building represents the ideals of the "City Beautiful", or "White City", movement which grew out of the influence of the Fair on the American Public. The study seeks to show how a small group of architects, which included McKim, Mead & White, had the correct social and professional connections to obtain such monumental projects as the Rhode Island State House. It is hoped that the story of the State House's competition will shed light on how the small elite which ruled American architecture in the 1890's was able to maintain their control.<br>by Hilary A.

Abstract:
OBJETIVO Realizar un análisis descriptivo de la evolución en los estadios de cambio respecto al consumo de tóxicos en pacientes con trastornos psicóticos. METODOLOGÍA Participantes: 5 pacientes (2 diagnóstico de esquizofrenia y 3 diagnóstico de trastorno esquizoafectivo), participantes en Programa de Mantenimiento de la Abstinencia. Instrumento: Escala de Evaluación del Cambio de la Universidad de Rhode Island (University of Rhode Island Change Assesment Scale, URICA). Escala estructurada y autoaplicada, 32 ítems que evalúan los estadios de cambio (precontemplación, contemplación, acción y mantenimiento). Análisis: El análisis estadístico se desarrolló utilizando el IBM SPSS 21.0 y se ejecutó un análisis de los estadísticos descriptivos de la muestra. RESULTADOS En la aplicación previa del Programa, un 60% de los pacientes estaban en el estadio de Contemplación y un 40% en el estadio de Acción. Después de la aplicación del programa, un 80% de los pacientes se han situado en el estadio de Acción y un 20% en el estadio de Contemplación. Antes de la aplicación del programa, se obtuvo en la Escala de Disposición para el cambio una media de 10,25 con una desviación estándar de 2,53. Después de la aplicación del programa, se obtuvo en la Escala de Disposición para el cambio una media de 10,51 con una desviación estándar de 1,95. CONCLUSIONES Se puede observar que todos los pacientes del grupo se encontraban en un estadio de disposición al cambio antes de la aplicación del programa, pasando a estadios más avanzados después de la aplicación y situándose la mayoría en el estadio de Acción. La intervención en el consumo de tóxicos requiere ocupar un lugar prioritario en el tratamiento psiquiátrico integral para mejorar el pronóstico.

Abstract:
The University of Rhode Island (URI) University Libraries publishes five active open access, peer-reviewed scholarly journals on our DigitalCommons@URI platform. Our journal publishing program has grown slowly but steadily over the last decade, with new services added incrementally as needed. In early 2019, we conducted three focus group interviews with nine editors and assistants representing all of the journals on our platform in order to assess our journal publishing efforts. We asked editors to identify the successes, challenges, and unmet needs that they have encountered in the publishing process and what resources they have found to support their journals outside of library offerings. We highlight what we learned from our editors: what they value, what they need, and what they want from library publishing services. We also outline our plans going forward to facilitate ongoing conversations among editors and to find creative solutions to help them with their biggest challenges.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper discusses a new approach to teaching a senior-level mechanical systems design course at the University of Rhode Island. The MCE401 class was split into 9 teams, each with four students. Team members were selected to complement their learning styles. To each team, additional 4 students from the URI Business school were added. In the Fall semester, each team selected one of several different, product-oriented design projects or proposed their own project topic subject to certain requirements. The students were asked to perform a patent search, to critique related products, to prepare a marketing study, to propose a design of this product, and to realize their design using a 3-D solid-modeling software. At the end of the Fall semester, groups competed for funding for activities in the following Spring term that included building prototypes of their design, formulating business plans for commercialization, and applying for patent protection. The new proposed format gave students better understanding and exposure to the entrepreneurial process of product design and innovation.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The problem of designing an automatic system to hand posts from bulk, to position them precisely and to weld them on findings, such as earrings, has been effectively solved by employing expert system methodologies and graph theory techniques. Design requirements are represented in terms of desired degrees of freedom, desired type of motion, and the complexity of the mechanism in terms of the number of independent loops. The expert system DOMES, Design of Mechanisms by an Expert System, developed at the University of Rhode Island, is employed to identify several kinematic structures of mechanisms which fulfill all requirements. Present semi-automatic systems require an operator to handle and position findings and posts into a welding machine at rates of approximately sixty findings per minute. The developed system handles four hundred findings per minute. Results show that mechanism design techniques based on graph theory and expert systems are powerful tools for creative mechanism design. In this paper, emphasis is placed on the design of the mechanical system. However, the developed automatic earring-post assembly system includes several other features. A commercially available fusion welding machine is improved to attain rates of fourteen instead of three welds per second, a fifteen ton power press is integrated into the system and appropriate controls are designed and implemented together with light and acoustic sensors to synchronize the power press, the fusion welding equipment, and the post-handling equipment and to monitor system performance on a real-time basis.

Abstract:
Most Mechanical Engineering curricula include courses in system dynamics, controls, mechatronics, and vibrations. At most schools, these courses do not have a laboratory component. Even at schools that have such a component, laboratory access is often limited, and thus there is a need to increase students’ laboratory experience. This paper addresses the development and initial testing of instructional material in the form of take-home software and hardware kits that can be used to perform laboratory experiments and measurements at home to illustrate system dynamics concepts. Rather than having students perform an experiment in the university laboratory, the students are given a compact, low cost software and hardware kit with which they can perform an experiment at home using only their PC. The kits are designed so that the experiments can be conducted on a provided experimental setup such as a DC motor/tachometer system or can be used to perform dynamic measurements on engineering systems that are available at home such as motor powered devices and heating/cooling systems. The take-home kit consists of three components. The first component is a hardware interface board that is built around a PIC18F4550 microcontroller which interfaces with the student’s PC and with the experiment hardware. The second component is a Windows based user interface program that is loaded on the student’s PC and is used to run the experiment and collect data. The third component is the actual experimental setup or the sensor system to perform the measurement. Fifty five kits have been fabricated to perform five different experiments. Two of these experiments were tested in two courses in the mechanical engineering department at the University of Rhode Island. The paper discusses the design of the kit components, the details of the experiments, as well the initial experiences gained from using this new approach for laboratory experimentation.
