Drawing upon fifty-five interviews with Black mixed-race people located in Britain’s second-largest city, Birmingham, and a nearby satellite town, Bromsgrove, this article critically explores how race, identity, whiteness, are negotiated families. Whilst existing studies tend to centre the experiences of white parents raising their children, article, we foreground perspectives familial practice...

Does the transnational process of gamete selection challenge ways mobilizing race and whiteness? Based on a mobile ethnography fertility industry, I argue that experts intended parents (IP) co-produce desirability whiteness through “racial matching” for white, heterosexual IP, “strategic hybridization”, or strategic mixing gametes, some same-sex IP who do not identify as white. Although disrupt...

Chitosan is an N-deacetylated biopolymer derivative of chitin (2-acetamido-2-deoxyβ-D-glucose through a β (1-4) linkage). The deacetylation is never complete. There is no specified nomenclature that describes the degree of deacetylation [1]. Chitin can be easily acquired from crab or shrimp shells. Its N-deacetylation is performed under alkali environment. The chitin that has been obtained from...

Previous studies have determined the potential location for sweetpotato flour processing and also examined the processing procedure necessary to produce marketable and profitably flour. This paper reports the second technical trial in which conversion rate and flour quality (i.e., whiteness and coarseness) were further investigated by selecting for sweetpotato roots with high dry matter content...

We developed a new thermal photo printing material. This new paper improves image quality, handling and reduces environmental impact during the production phase. This new paper utilizes a laminated base paper with the same high level of whiteness as silver halide photo print paper. The multi-layers, which contain a heat insulation layer, are coated on this base paper by using a production metho...

In regard to colored lights, an opponent cell will indeed increase its firing to luminance increments (as well as to equiluminant color increments) but this does not at all imply confounding; rathe, r, in both cases, the cell will signal more color. Alternatively stated, when one increases the luminance (or radiance, or energy, etc.) of a colored light, any theory must predict that its chromati...
