Latent Transition Analysis For The Stages Of Change, Rosemarie A. Martin

Open Access Master's Theses

The transtheoretical model of behavior change proposes that in an effort to change behavior people progress through a number of stages, beginning with precontemplation, through contemplation, action and maintenance. This study is an application of latent transition analysis (LTA) to movement through the stages of change for smoking cessation. LTA is an extension of latent class theory and Markov modeling that examines change over time. The sample consisted of 545 reactively recruited smokers and former smokers with a mean (±SD) age of 39.7 (12.0) years. Of the sample, 68% were female and 94.7% were white.

Natural Diet And Feeding Habits Of The Postlarval Lobster Homarus Americanus, Marie Antonette R. Juinio, J. Stanley Cobb

Past Departments Faculty Publications (CELS)

Postlarval Homarus arnericanus were collected from Block Island Sound, Rhode Island, USA, during 5 diel neuston sampling periods in summer 1988 and 1989. The foregut contents of the postlarvae were determined and compared with the relative abundances of potential prey groups in the plankton. Nine taxonomic prey groups were identified in the gut contents (N = 802). The composition of the prey groups and their relative frequencies of occurrence in the guts did not differ with time of day or sampling period. The frequent occurrence of copepods, decapod larvae, fish eggs and insect parts indicates a predominantly carnivorous feeding habit. …

The Impact Of Community Gardens On Neighborhoods And Their Residents, Beverly Ann Bowen

Open Access Master's Theses

The inner-city areas of this country are confronting a number of issues which require innovative problem-solving techniques. One approach which has been effective in involving people in the renovation of their neighborhoods is the development of community garden programs. Although much anecdotal information exists regarding the benefits such programs provide, there could be found no quantitative data measuring the impacts to a neighborhood and its residents. This study is an attempt to discover if such data can be found.

The Southside Community Land Trust, located in Providence, Rhode Island since 1981, has established eleven gardens in low-income sections of the …
