Sex differences in the relationship between sensation seeking, trait emotional intelligence and delinquent behaviour
Levels of sensation seeking peak in adolescence and there is a well-documented association with delinquency and other risk taking behaviours. The present study investigated the potential moderating effect of trait Emotional Intelligence (EI) on this relationship. Trait EI encompasses high levels of empathy and emotion regulation and is associated with positive outcomes and wellbeing. 96 young adults (48 female; overall Mage = 19.76) completed measures of sensation seeking, trait EI and self-reported delinquent behaviours since age 12. Results indicated that sensation seeking and frequency of delinquent behaviours were positively associated, but this effect was moderated by trait EI for male participants - those with lower trait EI showed a greater increase in delinquency in line with a rise in sensation seeking. No moderation effect was observed for females, and females with higher levels of trait EI reported more delinquent behaviours. The results are discussed in terms of the protective role of trait EI in supporting self-regulation and whether, for some females, high levels of EI might predispose to antisocial relational behaviours
The Effect on Rudder Control of Slip Stream Body, and Ground Interference
This investigation was undertaken to determine the relative effects of those factors which may interfere with the rudder control of an airplane, with especial reference to the process of landing. It shows that ground interference is negligible, but that the effects of a large rounded body and of the slip stream may combine to interfere seriously with rudder control at low flying speeds and when taxiing

Segregation and Internal Weakness in Forging Ingots
The type of segregation generally known as 'A' segregation which occurs at positions between the ingot axis and the outer surface still remains a baffling problem, no means
having so far been found for its prevention.In addition to the various types of segregation and apart from primary pipe which can be easily dealt with, problems arise with
regard to secondary piping, and discontinuities and poro-sity around the top of the basal Cone
A tutorial task and tertiary courseware model for collaborative learning communities
RAED provides a computerised infrastructure to support the development and administration of Vicarious Learning in collaborative learning communities spread across multiple universities and workplaces. The system is based on the OASIS middleware for Role-based Access Control. This paper describes the origins of the model and the approach to implementation and outlines some of its benefits to collaborative teachers and learners

Correlation Between the Clinical Diagnosis of Bacterial Vaginosis and the Results of a Proline Aminopeptidase Assay
Objective: The object of this study was to develop a simple and
inexpensive test for detection of bacterial vaginosis (BV) in pregnant patients and to test its
accuracy in a clinic population
Mapping the inner regions of the polar disk galaxy NGC4650A with MUSE
[abridged] The polar disk galaxy NGC4650A was observed during the
commissioning of the MUSE at the ESO VLT to obtain the first 2D map of the
velocity and velocity dispersion for both stars and gas. The new MUSE data
allow the analysis of the structure and kinematics towards the central regions
of NGC4650A, where the two components co-exist. These regions were unexplored
by the previous long-slit literature data available for this galaxy. The
extended view of NGC~4650A given by the MUSE data is a galaxy made of two
perpendicular disks that remain distinct and drive the kinematics right into
the very centre of this object. In order to match this observed structure for
NGC4650A, we constructed a multicomponent mass model made by the combined
projection of two disks. By comparing the observations with the 2D kinematics
derived from the model, we found that the modelled mass distribution in these
two disks can, on average, account for the complex kinematics revealed by the
MUSE data, also in the central regions of the galaxy where the two components
coexist. This result is a strong constraint on the dynamics and formation
history of this galaxy; it further supports the idea that polar disk galaxies
like NGC~4650A were formed through the accretion of material that has different
angular momentum.Comment: 14 pages, 10 figures; accepted for publication in Astronomy &
