We'd like to ask for your help in two ways: Referrals Our goal is always to hire students who know your courses best. We encourage you to recommend any students who have performed excellently in your course or department. All you need to do is send us the students' name and any contact information you might be able to share, and we will get in touch with them. Of course, if you wish to encourage a particular student to contact us or complete an application, that would also be helpful. Applications are available on our website at: http://www.uri.edu/aec/pdf/tutorapplication2009.pdf Open House Please tell all of your students that on Tuesday April 21 and Wednesday April 22, at 4 pm, we will hold our annual spring open house in the Great Room of Roosevelt Hall. At the open house, students will be able to learn about the work we do, credit or pay options, job requirements, and other vital information. They will also be able to complete applications and register for interviews. Refreshments will be served. If you have any questions or thoughts on our process, feel free to get in touch with David Hayes (4-2953), Kathryn Crisostomo (4-4690), or Nicole Poloski (4-4529).

Location: Kelley 102 Date/Time: Wednesday, April 8th, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. Title: ?Using Electronics to Study Shark Behavior? Abstract: Studying the mechanics of shark behavior in the wild is not feasible. The probably of observing natural feeding behavior in a shark is pretty low, not to mention potentially life threatening. Similarly, it is difficult to keep up with a shark to study natural swimming mechanics. However, there are many kinds of electronic instruments that make it possible to study the mechanics of feeding and swimming behavior of sharks in the lab. Local and tropical shark species were acclimated to live in large still water and flow tanks and their feeding and swimming behavior studied using high-speed video, electromyography, sonomicrometry, and digital particle image velocimetry. Sonomicrometry involves the use of piezoelectric crystals that transmit ultrasound and are used to measure the distance that skeletal elements move. Electromyography measures muscle activity and coupled with video can be used to determine which muscles are moving which skeletal elements. Digital particle image velocimetry allows water flow movements as a result of animal behavior to be quantified. These techniques were used to understand how various jaw elements move during feeding in sharks with different jaw types, how inertial suction is used to draw food into the mouth of sharks, and how negatively buoyant sharks generate lift to swim in the water column.

It is the Supervisor?s responsibility to administer all contracts, outfit the ships, assure that the technical adequacy and quality assurance requirements are fully met, ascertain that satisfactory production schedules are maintained, and ensure that the final product delivered to the Fleet is ready to sail in ?harms way.? Today NAVSEA Groton has approximately 160 civilians and 18 military at two locations in Groton, Connecticut, and Quonset Point, Rhode Island. Having the technological edge is the best way to ensure that our Fleet is ready to face the challenges of our new world environment. Engineers at NAVSEA Groton take technologies from design to operational use and from deck plate support to deployment at sea. Our expertise spans all areas of engineering, ranging from mechanical, materials, electrical/electronics, and naval architecture. We are looking for exceptional students to be ready to face the challenges of maintaining the superiority of our Navy today. IMPORTANT: NAVSEA GROTON utilizes the Naval Acquisition Intern Program to bring in talented engineers and scientists to work at our facility. The following page provides information concerning the Department of the Navy?s Acquisition Intern Program.

The ability to sequence an individual?s genome accurately and inexpensively is needed to detect genomic variations and to develop personalized medicine. One of several sequencing technologies that have been recently developed and tested is single-molecule force spectroscopy, which combines the use of magnetic tweezers, EM sensing using total internal reflectance, and micro-fluidics. The end-to-end length of a pulled DNA molecule depends uniquely on the pulling force and is different for single- and double-stranded molecules; it is thus possible to distinguish between the two by measuring out-of-plane positions in a fluid chamber, which can be done using the total internal reflectance fluorescent microscopy. Theoretical and experimental aspects of single-molecule force spectroscopy will be demonstrated. The cleanup of environments contaminated with buried UXO has long been identified as a high-priority military environmental problem. Broadband electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensors with operating frequencies between 20 Hz and around 100 kHz have been advanced for the detection and discrimination of UXO. However, distinguishing UXO from clutter or fragments of ordnance that did explode still remains as a major limitation of current EMI technology. The problem is complicated by the fact that the objects of interest are often embedded in a magnetically susceptible and conductive environment that contributes a certain amount of signal to the EMI response. This presentation will give a general overview of low-frequency EMI sensing technologies for underwater and magnetic environments, will describe the interactions between objects and the media surrounding them, and will illustrate how conducting and magnetic environments affect the discrimination between UXO and non-UXO items.

For example, URI courses PHY 205 & PHY 275 are equivalent to CCRI courses PHYS 2110 and PHYS 2111, respectively. http://www.ccri.edu/ http://www.ribghe.org/transfer09.htm Several URI students take transfer courses from schools within driving distance of RI, Rhode Island: CCRI - Community College of Rhode Island RIC - Rhode Island College Salve Regina, Providence College, etc. Massachusetts: Univ. of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, Boston, Amherst, Lowell; Boston University, Boston College, Tufts University, MIT, Northeastern University Connecticut: Univ. of Connecticut, Connecticut State Community College, Univ. of Hartford, Univ. of Bridgeport, Connecticut College, Fairfield University, Central Connecticut State Univ., Univ. of New Haven, Yale Univ. Out-of-state URI students sometimes take summer courses at a community college or university near their home town. Some students enroll in online, webCT or distance education courses offered by URI or other accredited institutions such as Univ. of Illinois, Arizona State University, Clemson University, etc. If you plan to take a transfer course at any school other than CCRI or RIC, you must first fill out and get the following "Prior Approval for Off-Campus study" petition form http://www.uri.edu/es/forms/pdf/enrollServ/0000_OffCampusStudy.pdf signed to confirm that the outside-URI course is equivalent to the desired URI course. Please attach to the form the course description from the institution's catalog, and preferably a recent syllabus that you found on-line. This and other useful forms for students can be found on the URI Enrollment Services web site, http://www.uri.edu/es/, or by going to Enrollment Services in Green Hall. When you complete a transfer course, you must submit an official transcript to Engineering Associate Dean Veyera in Bliss Hall room 102, with a request to transfer credit from University X to URI. You must earn a C grade or higher for credit to transfer. Grades do not transfer, only course credits, so the grade you make in any non-URI course will not impact your URI Grade Point Average. regards, Prof. Boudreaux-Bartels From vaccaro at ele.uri.edu Tue Apr 21 15:33:18 2009 From: vaccaro at ele.uri.edu (Richard J.
