No

Explanation:

A ring must contain a multiplicative identity. As there is only one such element 1R in R, and T is a restriction of R with the same operations, then the only possible multiplicative identity for T is 1R.

However, as n>0, we have n1R=n0. Thus 1RT, meaning T has no multiplicative identity and thus cannot be a ring (or subring).
