Young people engage, and always have, in activity which is wrongful and harmful. How, as a liberal democratic society, should we respond to that behaviour? This is the central concern of this module. Through discussion of recent research, legislation and policy documents the module considers the present approach to youth justice in England Wales and draws upon theoretical and empirical scholarship, and some historical and comparative policy material, to subject that policy and practice to critical scrutiny.
Maximising the propulsive efficiency of ships is key to their economic effectiveness and in minimising their emissions of CO2, NOx and SOx. Advances in ship performance require a detailed understanding of the fluid dynamic mechanisms which control the flow around the hull creating resistance, the interaction of the hull wake with the propulsor and overall how the propulsor can be optimised based on the operational profile of the ship. Alongside this the methods whereby renewable resources such as wind and wave can contribute to ship propulsion will become an important element of design. The module takes a fundamental approach to ship resistance and propulsion examining in detail the latest experimental techniques for measuring resistance components and time varying flow fields, theoretical methods for predicting resistance and propeller performance at concept design and the use of computational fluid dynamic based approaches. The aim is is to provide a pathway towards the design of future zero carbon ships which minimise energy requirements and cost.
This module introduces the biodiversity, distribution and role of zooplankton in marine food webs, building on previous modules in the 1st year and semester 1 of the 2nd year. It will be taught via in-person lectures, workshops, laboratory and computer practicals.
