Prisoners’ gang-related activity: the importance of bullying and moral disengagement
No full textGang-related activity can have a significant impact on the effective management of prisons in the UK, yet little is known about the characteristics of the prisoners involved. I it this study, 141 adult male prisoners' gang-related activity was examined in relation to their bullying behaviour and use of moral disengagement. Results showed that prisoners most involved in gang-related activity were likely to have spent a longer total time in the prison system, be perpetrators of bullying and have high levels of moral disengagement. Findings also show that moral disengagement partially mediates the relationship between bullying and gang-related activity Implications for treatment programmes and the prison estate are discussed
Native p-type transparent conductive CuI via intrinsic defects
No full textThe ability of CuI to be doped p-type via the introduction of native defects has been investigated using first-principles pseudopotential calculations based on density functional theory. The Cu vacancy has a lower formation energy than any of the other native defects, which include I vacancy (V(I)), Cu interstitial (Cu(i)), I interstitial (I(i)), Cu antisite (Cu(I)), and I antisite (I(Cu)). Combined with its shallow acceptor level, it offers sufficient hole concentrations in CuI. The natural band alignments as compared to zinc-blende ZnS, ZnSe, and ZnTe have also been calculated in order to further identify the p-type dopability of CuI. It is found that CuI has a relatively high valence band maximum and conduction band minimum, which also makes it easy to dope CuI p-type in terms of the doping limit rule. In addition, the small effective mass of the light hole-about 0.303m(0)-can provide high mobility and p-type conductivity in CuI. All of these results make CuI an ideal candidate for native p-type materials (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3633220

Impact damage of composite laminates with high-speed waterjet
No full textRain erosion may cause substantial damage to aircrafts during supersonic flight. Such event is investigated here via high-speed waterjet impact on composite laminates. An experimental setup is developed to produce waterjets with the speed up to 700m/s and a finite element model of the waterjet-composite impact event is established. The consistency of experiment and simulation results validates the adopted numerical methods. The distribution of the water-hammer pressure is non-uniform and the maximum pressure occurs near the contact periphery when the water is about to eject laterally. After a high-speed (300∼560m/s) waterjet impacts a composite laminate, the impacted surface depression is observed, and the typical surface damage presents a central region with no visible surface damage surrounded by a faded “failure ring” with resin removal, matrix cracking and minor fiber fracture. Delamination occurs at the interfaces of adjacent layers with unequal dimensions and longitudinal matrix cracking appears on the back surface. Both the velocity and the diameter of waterjets are crucial factors on CFRP damage extents. Water-hammer pressure, the stagnation pressure and propagation of stress waves are failure mechanisms for most matrix damage in CFRP impacted by waterjets.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Structural Integrity & Composite

It is easy to distinguish this species from its congeners. The pronotal collar of the new species is not distinct as it is in most species of this genus. The anterior margin of the collar has 2 medium-sized spines, whereas this margin is often smooth in most species of this genus.Published as part of Cui, Jianxin, Li, Hu & Cai, Wanzhi, 2008, The discovery of the genus Caecina Stål (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Ectrichodiinae) from China, with the description of a new species, pp. 44-48 in Zootaxa 1727 on page 45, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18124

Sweltsa brevihamula Dong & Cui & Li 2018, sp. nov.
No full textSweltsa brevihamula sp. nov. (Figs. 1–12) Adult habitus. General color greenish. Head with a large, quadrate, median dark area; compound eyes dark, ocelli with dark rings; antennae pale but distal flagella brown (Figs. 1–2). Pronotum with brown symmetrical medial pattern (Figs. 1–2). Meso- and metathoracic nota with brown U-shaped marks. Wings hyaline; legs pale. Abdominal terga 1–8 with median brown stripe; stigma of terga 2–7 trapezoidal, with tergum 1 being triangular and tergum 8 rounded (Fig. 1). Cerci pale with long setae. Male. Body length 9.4 mm; forewing length 8.0 mm; hindwing length 7.0 mm. Tergum 9 sclerotized, anteromedial portion membranous, transverse ridge sclerotized and band-shaped (Fig. 3), the ridge in lateral aspect forming triangular process (Figs. 4 –5). Epiproct: in dorsal view, parallel-sided for most of its length with apex narrowed; in lateral view the apex up-curved, ventral portion of the apex slightly swollen after KOH treatment (Figs. 3–7, 10–12). Aedeagus membranous without hairs, with a small triangular subapical lateral lobe, apical half tubular, much more slender than basal portion; basal portion bulbous, with conical basolateral and mesoventral lobes (Figs. 8–9). Female and larva. Unknown. Type material. Holotype male (HIST), CHINA: Sichuan Province, Mianyang City, Pingwu County, Laohegou National Nature Reserve, Xiaopiangou, 2377m, 32°30'37'' N, 104°38'33'' E, 2012. V.25, coll. Sipei Liu. Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the short (“brev”), up-curved hook-like apex (“ hamula ”) of the epiproct. Remarks. Sweltsa brevihamula can be recognized by the up-curved apex of the epiproct. Sweltsa brevihamula is similar to S. baiyunshana Li, Yang & Yao, 2014 in general habitus, but males can be distinguished from the latter species by the pronotum without a brown margin and an almost parallel-sided epiproct without an upraised, tongue-like cap apically (See Li et al. 2014, figs. 8–11), but with an up-turned apex. The new species is also related to S. longistyla (Wu, 1938), but the apex of the epiproct of S. brevihamula in lateral aspect is up-curved.Published as part of Dong, Wenbin, Cui, Jianxin & Li, Weihai, 2018, A new species of Sweltsa (Plecoptera: Chloroperlidae) from Sichuan Province of southwestern China, pp. 388-392 in Zootaxa 4418 (4) on page 388, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4418.4.5, http://zenodo.org/record/124494
