title: ‘Where the Races meet’: racial framing through live display at the American West Coast World’s Fairs, 1894-1916
Creators: name: Trafford, Emily
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: This thesis examines the live exhibition of Native American, Chinese, Japanese, Alaskan, Hawaiian, Samoan, and Filipino people on the midways of five West Coast world’s fairs (San Francisco, 1894; Portland, 1905; Seattle, 1909; San Francisco, 1915; San Diego, 1915-1916). I situate the world’s fairs as significant sites of racialisation at a time of intense westward expansion, and recognise the West Coast as a key location at which various processes of expansion occurred, and at which the human relationships associated with these processes were negotiated. Foregrounding conflicting and interrelated concerns about continental expansion, immigration, trade, empire, and international diplomacy, and featuring the voices and practices of anthropologists, politicians, foreign dignitaries, colonial elites, local non-white residents, fair visitors, and the performers themselves, I examine how various race-making agents framed the populations as inferior, non-white Others. Adapting various existing images of these disparate foreign and domestic populations, exposition exhibitors and mediators used a number of exhibitionary techniques and racialisation strategies to visualise America’s newly international and Pacifically-oriented racial hierarchy. Sharing modes of exhibition and racial narratives between the ‘ethnic villages’ on the midway, these exposition actors and race-making agents contributed to the emergence of an explicitly comparative form of racial ordering that situated the ‘red’, ‘yellow’, and ‘brown’ races within the imagined household of the American Pacific. This thesis demonstrates how exposition midways helped to solidify notions of racial difference by providing legible and comparative spectacles of non-whiteness, and by inculcating white visitors with skills of racial identification and hierarchisation. I argue that by operating within and contributing towards an overarching framework of white supremacy, the world’s fairs scripted a flexible form of superior whiteness that allowed visitors to negotiate the rapid changes in local, national, and international racial dynamics. Analysing the vast and under-utilised exposition archive, alongside photographs, souvenirs, newspapers, and concomitant racialising texts, and synthesising the methods and literatures of race and exhibition, this thesis contributes to the growing literature on the broad significance of racial formation on America’s West Coast, by building a critical and comparative examination of this racialisation site.

description: We investigate the influence of the real part of the in-medium pion optical potential on the pion dynamics in intermediate energy heavy ion reactions at 1 GeV/A. For different models, i.e. a phenomenological model and the $Δ$--hole model, a pionic potential is extracted from the dispersion relation and used in Quantum Molecular Dynamics calculations. In addition with the inelastic scattering processes we thus take care of both, real and imaginary part of the pion optical potential. A strong influence of the real pionic potential on the pion in-plane flow is observed. In general such a potential has the tendency to reduce the anticorrelation of pion and nucleon flow in non-central collisions.

title: Future proofing UK sustainable homes under conditions of climatic uncertainty
Creators: name: Sajjadian, Seyed Masoud
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: Research relating to the potential impacts of climate change on UK housing has increased in recent years. The future performance of dwellings that are currently considered sustainable may change under a changing climate. For example, well insulated, air tight homes that are energy efficient and comfortable now may be at risk of overheating in the future. Decision-making for sustainable house designs may become more challenging regarding dwellings that will perform well now and be resilient to climate change risks, such as overheating, in the future. This study evaluates the effect of overheating risk and future climatic uncertainty in designing UK dwellings. The main focus of the research is on the thermal performance of the external building envelope. The foremost aim is to future proof current designs in order to provide the best possible thermal comfort under likely warmer weather conditions produced by climate change. This research examines a number of constructional design options to reduce energy consumption and improve thermal comfort on the basis of climate change predictions up to 2080. The study develops a methodology by means of computer simulations to assess and predict the performance (in terms of total energy input, both heating and cooling, required to maintain thermal comfort) in a range of current, ‘high performance’ construction systems used on simple and typical UK house models in London and Manchester. The findings of this study show that UK sustainable homes, in their present format, are susceptible to a future overheating risk. It is argued that the substantial part of the overheating risk can be alleviated by the integration of modern smart materials and conventional design solutions, such as shading devices and earth-to-air heat exchangers (EAHE). The research also proposes a new method of integrating phase change materials into the building envelope to reduce domestic cooling loads and overheating hours in the coming decades.

description: Objective: This study evaluates the Danish test battery for auditory processing disorder (APD). The battery consists of four behavioural tests, two speech and two non-speech stimuli tests. The evaluation includes determination of: (1) new cut-off values (pass-fail criteria), (2) the sensitivity and the specificity of the entire test battery and (3) the failure rate of different test combinations. Design: For each test in the battery, cut-off values were determined using the weighted Youden index. Applying the newly derived cut-off values, the distribution of failing specific test combinations was determined. Study sample: A group of 112 children diagnosed with APD (57 boys, 55 girls, aged 6–16 years) and a control group containing 158 children without auditory problems (75 boys, 83 girls, aged 6–16 years). Results: Cut-off values for different weights of the sensitivity and the specificity have been determined. Using the criterion that at least two tests have to be failed for APD to be suspected, the sensitivity and the specificity of the entire test battery were 95.3% and 91.6%, respectively. Some test combinations were found to have higher failure rates than others. Conclusions: Due to the high sensitivity and specificity the test battery has good predictive value in APD assessment.
title: Structural and functional studies of CARP and titin N2A protein complexes involved in the stress-response of muscle to apoptotic stimuli
Creators: name: Zhou, Tiankun
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: The cardiac ankyrin repeat protein (CARP) has been reported to bind to the N2A region of the giant sarcomeric protein titin. The interaction allegedly plays a role in preventing cardiomyocyte apoptosis, thereby protecting against heart failure (HF). The latter is now a leading cause of mortality in the developed world. In this work, we focus on CARP to guide future functional studies that can clarify its significance in heart disease.

description: We present the velocity dispersion of red giant branch (RGB) stars in M31's halo, derived by modeling the line of sight velocity distribution of over 5000 stars in 50 fields spread throughout M31's stellar halo. The dataset was obtained as part of the SPLASH (Spectroscopic and Photometric Landscape of Andromeda's Stellar Halo) Survey, and covers projected radii of 9 to 175 kpc from M31's center. All major structural components along the line of sight in both the Milky Way (MW) and M31 are incorporated in a Gaussian Mixture Model, including all previously identified M31 tidal debris features in the observed fields. The probability an individual star is a constituent of M31 or the MW, based on a set of empirical photometric and spectroscopic diagnostics, is included as a prior probability in the mixture model. The velocity dispersion of stars in M31's halo is found to decrease only mildly with projected radius, from 108 km/s in the innermost radial bin (8.2 to 14.1 kpc) to $\sim 80$ to 90 km/s at projected radii of $\sim 40$ to 130 kpc, and can be parameterized with a power-law of slope $-0.12\pm 0.05$. The quoted uncertainty on the power-law slope reflects only the precision of the method, although other sources of uncertainty we consider contribute negligibly to the overall error budget.

description: 1SWASP\,J162117.36$+$441254.2 was originally classified as an EW-type binary with a period of 0.20785\,days. However, it was detected to have undergone a stellar outburst on June 3, 2016. Although the system was latter classified as a cataclysmic variable (CV) and the event was attributed as a dwarf-nova outburst, the physical reason is still unknown. This binary has been monitored photometrically since April 19, 2016 and many light curves were obtained before, during and after the outburst. Those light and color curves observed before the outburst indicate that the system is a special CV. The white dwarf is not accreting material from the secondary and there are no accretion disks surrounding the white dwarf. By comparing the light curves obtained from April 19 to September 14, 2016, it was found that magnetic activity of the secondary is associated with the outburst. We show strong evidence that the $L_1$ region on the secondary was heavily spotted before and after the outburst and thus quench the mass transfer, while the outburst is produced by a sudden mass accretion of the white dwarf. These results suggest that J162117 is a good astrophysical laboratory to study stellar magnetic activity and its influences on CV mass transfer and mass accretion.

 Prociphilus (Stagona) xylostei (De Geer, 1773) (senior synonym— Kaltenbach, 1843: 187, “ Pemphigus xylostei ”). Valid
 Specimens. Presumed to have originally been nine specimens mounted on points or pinned on five pins. However, five pointed specimens on a single pin (157), as well as another specimen (152), are lost. Only host tissue remains on the pin for specimen 157. Specimen 153 is an alate, and 154 and 155 are wax covered apterae. Specimens 152-155 were collected mid-July, 1840 from Lonicera xylosteum. Specimens 157 were collected in June, 1840 from an ash leaf gall (pinned in the collection) in the ducal forest garden (i.e. Herzogliche Forstgarten, from here on referred to as Forstgarten) near Riddagshausen, Braunschweig, Germany, established by Hartig in 1838 (Hartig 1870).
 Remarks. Specimens 157 may be misidentified or misplaced P. fraxini within the collection since Prociphilus xylostei (De Geer, 1773) does not occur on ash. Hartig’s P. fraxini specimens are pinned in the same row.

description: The influence of exponential magnetic field decay (MFD) on the spin evolution of isolated neutron stars is studied. The ROSAT observations of several X-ray sources, which can be accreting old isolated neutron stars, are used to constrain the exponential and power-law decay parameters. We show that for the exponential decay the ranges of minimum value of magnetic moment, $μ_b$, and the characteristic decay time, $t_d$, $\sim 10^{29.5}\ge μ_b \ge 10^{28} {\rm G} {\rm cm}^3$, $\sim 10^8\ge t_d \ge 10^7 {\rm yrs}$ are excluded assuming the standard initial magnetic moment, $μ_0=10^{30} {\rm G} {\rm cm}^3$. For these parameters, neutron stars would never reach the stage of accretion from the interstellar medium even for a low space velocity of the stars and a high density of the ambient plasma. The range of excluded parameters increases for lower values of $μ_0$. We also show, that, contrary to exponential MFD, no significant restrictions can be made for the parameters of power-law decay from the statistics of isolated neutron star candidates in ROSAT observations. Isolated neutron stars with constant magnetic fields and initial values of them less than $μ_0 \sim 10^{29} {\rm G} {\rm cm}^3$ never come to the stage of accretion. We briefly discuss the fate of old magnetars with and without MFD, and describe parameters of old accreting magnetars.

We present the phase diagram for the models and one of them, the ZM3 model, has the lowest critical temperature $T_c=13.6$ MeV with the lowest critical density $ρ_c=0.037$ f$m^{-3}$ and pressure $p_c=0.157$ MeV f$m^{-3}$. These results are in accord with recent observations from energetic heavy-ion collisions, which suggest a small liquid-gas phase region.

description: The introduction of Dark Matter-neutrino interactions modifies the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) angular power spectrum at all scales, thus affecting the reconstruction of the cosmological parameters. Such interactions can lead to a slight increase of the value of $H_0$ and a slight decrease of $σ_8$, which can help reduce somewhat the tension between the CMB and lensing or Cepheids datasets. Here we show that it is impossible to solve both tensions simultaneously. While the 2015 Planck temperature and low multipole polarisation data combined with the Cepheids datasets prefer large values of the Hubble rate (up to $H_0 = 72.1^{+1.5}_{-1.7} \rm{km/s/Mpc}$, when $N_{\rm{eff}}$ is free to vary), the $σ_8$ parameter remains too large to reduce the $σ_8$ tension. Adding high multipole Planck polarization data does not help since this data shows a strong preference for low values of $H_0$, thus worsening current tensions, even though they also prefer smaller value of $σ_8$.

Characteristic staircase-like structure was observed, indicating the occurrence of the quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM), which is a characteristic feature of SMMs. The quantum process in the new lanthanide SMMs is due to resonant quantum tunneling between entangled states of the electronic and nuclear spin systems, which is an essentially different mechanism from those of the known transition-metal-cluster SMMs. Evidence of the two-body quantum process was also observed for the first time in lanthanide complex systems.

The question undoubtedly involved the scholars’ attention for decades since the milestone works by Johannes Kollwitz and Giovanni Becatti had tried to provide the first answers. This article aims to assess the status quaestionis as well as the conclusions that have been reached so far. Mostly by drawing on recent contributions, it will provide a comprehensive overlook of the available literature and information, in order to understand either the urban context or the historical framework in which such a kind of extremely expensive and technically challenging endeavour apparently took place.

description: Self-tuning optical systems are of growing importance in technological applications such as mode-locked fiber lasers. Such self-tuning paradigms require {\em intelligent} algorithms capable of inferring approximate models of the underlying physics and discovering appropriate control laws in order to maintain robust performance for a given objective. In this work, we demonstrate the first integration of a {\em deep learning} (DL) architecture with {\em model predictive control} (MPC) in order to self-tune a mode-locked fiber laser. Not only can our DL-MPC algorithmic architecture approximate the unknown fiber birefringence, it also builds a dynamical model of the laser and appropriate control law for maintaining robust, high-energy pulses despite a stochastically drifting birefringence. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this method on a fiber laser which is mode-locked by nonlinear polarization rotation. The method advocated can be broadly applied to a variety of optical systems that require robust controllers.

title: An investigation Into the genetic variation of hepatitis C virus in patients coinfected with HIV
Creators: name: King, S
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: Co-infection with HIV in patients with chronic HCV infection is a common occurrence, which accelerates disease progression and the rate of liver fibrosis. Current literature report conflicting results on the effect of HIV co-infection on HCV at the genetic level. This thesis sets out to further explore the genetic variation of HCV in this group of patients, and use new techniques which may impact upon the diagnosis and management of HCV. In resource-limited settings such as sub-Saharan Africa, there is a paucity of data concerning rates of active HCV infection in patients with HIV infection. The limited infrastructure and financial restrictions are contributing factors in this. Consequently, cheaper and novel diagnostic procedures are required to promote testing in these important cohorts. A real-time PCR assay for use with pooled plasma and dried plasma spot specimens was developed to screen a large cohort of HIV-infected individuals from Ghana and assess its suitability for screening in such a setting. The prevalence of active HCV infection in this cohort was similar to previous estimates from blood donors but was much lower than estimates from serological tests, highlighting the potential risks in relying on these tests alone in this region. The diversity of strains found within this population agreed well with previous studies. As the yield of HCV infections was low in Ghana, further studies were completed with the UK and European cohort. A deep sequencing approach was utilised to two effects. The first focussed on a specific notable polymorphism – Q80K in the NS3 gene – to determine whether deep sequencing would benefit the clinic in the detection of this polymorphism at low frequencies, which are below the threshold of detection by traditional population sequencing. The second use of deep sequencing aimed to determine the impact of HIV co-infection on the presence of resistance associated mutations occurring at baseline, studying the largest cohort to date. The Q80K polymorphism was not observed in any sample as a minority variant, suggesting that the current clinical procedures for pre-treatment screening are suitable and provide sufficient sensitivity. Overall, resistance mutations were relatively common among patients and it was observed that, generally, there were no differences in the prevalences of resistance mutations between HCV mono-infected and HIV/HCV co-infected patients. This finding is in agreement with previous small-scale studies. This work has direct clinical implications on the use of deep sequencing for screening patients for the presence of resistance mutations. Furthermore, it suggests that co-infected individuals are not at risk of further complications for the treatment of HCV.

description: Compared with traditional methods, the three-dimensional laser-scanning (3D-LS) technique can efficiently acquire many high-quality geometric properties of rock discontinuities. In practice, engineers usually prefer to simplify the processing by using single-station point data and roughly orienting owing to the complexity of registration/georeferencing multi-station point data. However, prior published studies have paid little attention to the accuracy and reliability when determining discontinuity orientations using 3D-LS. We propose a reliable and accurate method with robust on-site applicability. As part of an ongoing effort, we are evaluating the precision of the commonly used coarse registration method and the fine registration method, and promoted the optimized coarse- and fine-registration methods and evaluated their precision. It is found that: (1) the common and the optimized registration method can meet our project’s engineering requirements, and the optimized registration method improved accuracy in the dip direction by approximately 1°; (2) fine registration using an iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm can correct both dip direction and dip angle; and (3) the orientation is of high precision with commonly used coarse and fine registration, whereas the optimization effect to correct the orientation is slightly limited.

description: Cosmic strings in non-abelian gauge theories naturally gain a spectrum of massless, or light, excitations arising from their embedding in color and flavor space. This opens up the possibility that colliding strings miss each other in the internal space, reducing the probability of reconnection. We study the topology of the non-abelian vortex moduli space to determine the outcome of string collision. Surprisingly we find that the probability of classical reconnection in this system remains unity, with strings passing through each other only for finely tuned initial conditions. We proceed to show how this conclusion can be changed by symmetry breaking effects, or by quantum effects associated to fermionic zero modes, and present examples where the probability of reconnection in a U(N) gauge theory ranges from 1/N for low-energy collisions to one at higher energies.

description: The resonant electric quadrupole amplitude in the transition $γN\leftrightarrowΔ(1232)$ is of great interest for the understanding of baryon structure. Various dynamical models have been developed to extract it from the corresponding photoproduction multipole of pions on nucleons. It is shown that once such a model is specified, a whole class of unitarily equivalent models can be constructed, all of them providing exactly the same fit to the experimental data. However, they may predict quite different resonant amplitudes. Therefore, the extraction of the E2/M1($γN\leftrightarrowΔ$) ratio (bare or dressed) which is based on a dynamical model using a largely phenomenological $πN$ interaction is not unique.

title: Efficient Manufacture of Emulsion Intermediates in Cavity-design Mixers
Creators: name: Burger, Ryan
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: Emulsions are ubiquitous across the process industries and are often utilised in applications where controlled delivery of a key ingredient (e.g. an oil or water soluble compound) is an important consideration. Their functional properties e.g. the rate of absorption or coverage of a surface is generally determined by the size and size distribution of dispersed domains or microstructure. Control over the formulation, process route and type of equipment all influence the resulting microstructure. The focus of this thesis is the development of process strategies for the efficient manufacture of emulsions in novel cavity-design mixers utilising the Controlled Deformation Dynamic Mixer (CDDM). The CDDM comprises a cylindrical rotor-stator design with opposing surfaces with embedded cavities. The novel design allows flexible operation and optimisation across the spectrum of process space, defined by dispersive and/or distributive mixers. The process strategies are empirically demonstrated across several oil/surfactant types and the impact of emulsion composition, mixer geometry and process methods are studied. The resulting emulsions are assessed via light scattering measurement of the droplet domain sizes and interfacial areas. The link between microstructure and product viscosity is discussed. An important output of this work was the development of an emulsification efficiency parameter. The parameter provides a useful analytical tool for evaluating the process strategies and is used to provide insights into how the implementation of the in-line emulsification of high internal phase emulsion strategies could provide commercial opportunities via emulsifier raw materials saving and development of small footprint processes.

description: Aphis vitellinae Hartig, 1841
 Aphis vitellinae Hartig, 1841: 369. SYNTYPES: 3 (1706 [7.04]; 1708 [7.06] lost; 1752 [7.05] lost), Salix viminalis.
 Aphis vitellinae Schrank, 1801 (senior primary homonym— Hottes, 1930a: 184).
 Tuberolachnus salignus (Gmelin, 1789) (senior synonym—Börner, 1952: 45). Valid
 Specimens. A single pointed alate (1706) collected in 1836. Two other pointed specimens (1708 and 1752) lost. Hartig’s notes for 1706 and 1708 indicate the specimens were collected with sawfly galls between September 10 and October 1, 1836. Specimen 1752 was collected with galls on Salix viminalis between October 15 and November 1, 1836.
 Remarks. The specimen is not in agreement with the current use of the name T. salignus. It is black and hairless with red legs and black tarsi, as Hartig (1841) described. Börner (1952) recognized the synonymy but again likely without having seen Hartig’s specimens or providing a justification so the synonymy is probably incorrect.As discussed by Hottes (1930a), Aphis vitellinae [= Chaitophorus vitellinae] Schrank, 1801 has priority over Aphis vitellinae Hartig 1841 so the latter may require a replacement name if its synonymy with T. salignus is not supported and there are no other available synonyms.

Weyl Card Diagrams

description: To capture important physical properties of a spacetime we construct a new diagram, the card diagram, which accurately draws generalized Weyl spacetimes in arbitrary dimensions by encoding their global spacetime structure, singularities, horizons, and some aspects of causal structure including null infinity. Card diagrams draw only non-trivial directions providing a clearer picture of the geometric features of spacetimes as compared to Penrose diagrams, and can change continuously as a function of the geometric parameters. One of our main results is to describe how Weyl rods are traversable horizons and the entirety of the spacetime can be mapped out. We review Weyl techniques and as examples we systematically discuss properties of a variety of solutions including Kerr-Newman black holes, black rings, expanding bubbles, and recent spacelike-brane solutions. Families of solutions will share qualitatively similar cards. In addition we show how card diagrams not only capture information about a geometry but also its analytic continuations by providing a geometric picture of analytic continuation. Weyl techniques are generalized to higher dimensional charged solutions and applied to generate perturbations of bubble and S-brane solutions by Israel-Khan rods. This paper is a condensed and simplified presentation of the card diagrams in hep-th/0409070.

description: We here present the spectroscopic follow-up observations with VLT/X-shooter of the Swift long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 160804A at z = 0.737. Typically, GRBs are found in low-mass, metal-poor galaxies which constitute the sub-luminous population of star-forming galaxies. For the host galaxy of the GRB presented here we derive a stellar mass of $\log(M_*/M_{\odot}) = 9.80\pm 0.07$, a roughly solar metallicity (12+log(O/H) = $8.74\pm 0.12$) based on emission line diagnostics, and an infrared luminosity of $M_{3.6/(1+z)} = -21.94$ mag, but find it to be dust-poor ($E(B-V) < 0.05$ mag). This establishes the galaxy hosting GRB 160804A as one of the most luminous, massive and metal-rich GRB hosts at z < 1.5. Furthermore, the gas-phase metallicity is found to be representative of the physical conditions of the gas close to the explosion site of the burst. The high metallicity of the host galaxy is also observed in absorption, where we detect several strong FeII transitions as well as MgII and MgI. While host galaxy absorption features are common in GRB afterglow spectra, we detect absorption from strong metal lines directly in the host continuum (at a time when the afterglow was contributing to < 15%). Finally, we discuss the possibility that the geometry and state of the absorbing and emitting gas is indicative of a galactic scale outflow expelled at the final stage of two merging galaxies.

description: This project identified and analysed factors affecting attrition and return to higher education among low SES undergraduate students. Data analysis, revealed approximately half of ‘non-completers’ returned to university study within eight years Student interviews and surveys confirmed that, while attrition is difficult to prevent, re-enrolment is relatively easy to support. The insights generated informed policies and strategies to support students to re-engage with higher education.
Objectness Scoring and Detection Proposals in Forward-Looking Sonar Images with Convolutional Neural Networks

description: Forward-looking sonar can capture high resolution images of underwater scenes, but their interpretation is complex. Generic object detection in such images has not been solved, specially in cases of small and unknown objects. In comparison, detection proposal algorithms have produced top performing object detectors in real-world color images. In this work we develop a Convolutional Neural Network that can reliably score objectness of image windows in forward-looking sonar images and by thresholding objectness, we generate detection proposals. In our dataset of marine garbage objects, we obtain 94% recall, generating around 60 proposals per image. The biggest strength of our method is that it can generalize to previously unseen objects. We show this by detecting chain links, walls and a wrench without previous training in such objects. We strongly believe our method can be used for class-independent object detection, with many real-world applications such as chain following and mine detection.

description: Photo production of pions on the deuteron is studied in the spectator nucleon model. The Born terms of the elementary production amplitude are determined in pseudovector $π$N coupling and supplied with a form factor. The $Δ$ resonance is considered both in the $s$ and the $u$ channel. The parameters of the $Δ$ resonance and the cutoff of the form factors are fixed on the leading photoproduction multipoles. Results for total and differential cross sections are compared with experimental data. Particular attention is paid to the role of Pauli correlations of the final state nucleons in the quasifree case. The results are compared with those for pion photoproduction on the nucleon.

title: Other people’s children: representations of paid-childcare in Britain, 1867-1908
Creators: name: Hinks, James
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: This thesis critically examines how informal child-care, performed for money, was subject to sustained scrutiny between 1867-1908. This period saw women who took children into their home in exchange for payment being subject to judicial sanction,press comment and legislative intervention. The passage of the 1908 Children Act marked the point at which all women who took in children for money were subjected to legislation for the first time. Existing scholarship on this topic has largely been confined to a small and unrepresentative sample of women who were convicted of murdering children they were paid to look after and concentrated on exploring the manner in which these women were demonised and labelled with the pejorative term 'baby-farmer.' Thisthesis makes a contribution to scholarship by demonstrating the need to study a wider range of women who took in children for money. It also shows that the template of the criminal 'baby-farmer' was only one possible representation of such women who took in children for payment. To this end, the study utilises a selection of under-analysed case files, court records and campaigning literature. The thesis has found that the term 'baby-farmer' has limited analytical value. A range of social actors told different stories, in different contexts for different purposes. As the period covered by this study drew to a close, narratives were increasingly likely to emphasise functional aspects of childcare performed for money; a shift informed by and informing changing ideas around, female employment, the role of the state, parental authority and the value of the child.

description: We show that we can construct a model in 3+1 dimensions where only composite scalars take place in physical processes as incoming and outgoing particles, whereas constituent spinors only act as intermediary particles. Hence while the spinor-spinor scattering goes to zero, the scattering of composites gives nontrivial results.
