Meeting the Health Care Needs of Older AdultsThis spring, URI Magazine will examine our often-complicated health care system with perspectives and advice from alumni working in the field. In coordination, Faculty Office Hour will offer additional perspectives from faculty whose work focuses on supporting patients with complex health care needs.Older adults typically have more complex health care needs than younger adults. Additionally, few health care providers receive any training in the aging process or the treatment of the chronic conditions associated with aging. This combination can lead to incorrect care and poorer outcomes and can overwhelm patients and their caregivers. The Rhode Island Geriatric Education Center (RIGEC) works to provide education and training for health care professionals and students, as well as resources for patients and caregivers, to better meet the needs of older adults. In this webinar, RIGEC Director Phillip Clark and collaborators Lisa DiMaria and Erica Estes will discuss some RIGEC initiatives as well as offer resources for those navigating multiple health conditions.Register by: Wednesday, April 9, 2025

At this workshop you will learn about how the sleep cycle works, barriers to sleep and tips for getting good quality sleep. Each participant will be given a sleep kit which includes a sleep mask, ear plugs, lavender sachet, decaf tea and information on sleep apps. We will be serving pizza and salad. Please let us know if you become unable to attend.

Join us for lunch as we create space to share your experiences on campus, discuss current events, and connect with other students. Lunch will be provided. Feel free to bring your own lunch as well.Fostering an inclusive and welcoming community is at the heart of the Multicultural Student Services Center (MSSC) ‘s work.

Join the URI Women's Center and URI VPAS for the URI TBTN event in the Memorial Union for a speaker presentation, a luminary lighting, information, resources, giveaways and light refreshments. Let's support survivors.TBTN events raise awareness, empower survivors, and reinforce a community's commitment to ending sexual violence1 in 3 women worldwide experience some form of sexual violence or intimate partner violence. 1 in 6 men experience sexual violence. 2 in 3 transgender people have been sexually assaulted. People in the LGBTQIA+ community are more likely to experience sexual violence. Less than 50% of victims report these crimes.Visit URInvolved for complete event details.

Isolating the Yield Stress in Tunable Thixotropic EmulsionsElnaz NikoumaneshAbstract:Soft materials are characterized by an intricate interplay of structure, dynamics, and rheological properties, which makes it challenging to accurately predict their response to shear stress. Here, we investigate how the nature of colloidal bonds – electrostatic attractions, physical entanglement, physical repulsive attraction, and covalent attractions –modify the yield stressand thixotropy. We investigate the critical role played by these structural bonds and their effect on linear and nonlinear deformations. Specifically, we apply our novel rheological approach – serial creep divergence (SCD) – to accurately determine the yield transition and critical stress and to reveal the physical mechanisms that underlie yielding. This comprehensive approachprovides a detailed comparison of how these materials respond to shear stress, ultimately advancing our understanding of the intricate interplay between
