Description of a new Crossidius LeConte (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae: Trachyderini) from southern Georgia with comments on its biology and unusual distribution

Crossidius grahami Morris and Wappes new species (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is described from the Ohoopee Dunes of southern Georgia. Comments are included on the new species’ biology and disjunct distribution compared to other species of Crossidius LeConte. Illustrations include: dorsal and lateral views of the primary types of C. grahami, its natural habitat, the known host plant (Chrysoma pauciflosculosa (Michx.) Greene (Asteraceae)), pupal chamber, and dorsal views of both sexes of Crossidius humeralis quadrivittata Penrose, 1974, considered its closest anatomical counterpart and nearest geographical relative

Urban informality and confinement: toward a relational framework

In the 21st century, a growing number of people live ‘informal’ lives within fissures between legality and informality. Concomitantly, power relations are increasingly expressed through devices of confinement. While urban informality and confinement are on the rise often occurring simultaneously, scholars have so far studied them separately. By contrast, this article proposes a new framework for analysing urban informality and confinement relationally. It generates new insights into the role of informality in the (re)production of confinement and, vice versa, the role of confinement in shaping informal practices. While these insights are valuable for urban studies in general, the article charts new lines of research on urban marginality. It also discusses how the six articles included in this special issue signal the heuristic potential of this relational framework by empirically examining distinct urban configurations of ‘confined informalities’ and ‘informal confinements’ across the Global North and the Global South

Size-tuneable synthesis of nickel nanoparticles

A facile method is described for synthesising nickel nanoparticles via the thermal decomposition of an organometallic precursor in the presence of excess n-trioctylphosphine as a capping ligand. For the first time, alkylamines with different chain lengths were employed as size-limiting agents in this synthesis. A direct correlation is demonstrated between the size of the alkylamine ligands used and the mean diameter of the nickel nanoparticles obtained. The use of bulky oleylamine as a size-limiting agent over a reaction period of 30 min led to the growth of nickel nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 2.8 ± 0.9 nm. The employment of less bulky N,N-dimethylhexadecylamine groups led to the growth of nickel nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 4.4 ± 0.9 nm. By increasing the reaction time from 30 to 240 min, while employing oleylamine as the size-limiting agent, the mean diameter of the nickel nanoparticles was increased from 2.8 ± 0.9 to 5.1 ± 0.7 nm. Decreasing the amount of capping ligand present in the reaction system allowed further growth of the nickel nanoparticles to 17.8 ± 1.3 nm. The size, structure and morphology of the nanoparticles synthesised were characterised by transmission electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction; while magnetic measurements indicated that the particles were superparamagnetic in nature
