Computer-enhanced learning in tertiary education (1991)
Thesis
Mackie, D. M. Computer-enhanced learning in tertiary education. (Thesis). Edinburgh Polytechnic. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/7310

It is widely accepted that mathematics courses for science and engineering undergraduates should aim to develop an enquiring and creative approach to mathematics together with good communication skills. Due to their versatility, computational power a... Read More about Computer-enhanced learning in tertiary education.

Distribution of the GABAA receptor α1- and γ2-subunit mRNAs in chick brain (1991)
Journal Article
Glencorse, T. A., Bateson, A. N., Hunt, S. P., & Darlison, M. G. (1991). Distribution of the GABAA receptor α1- and γ2-subunit mRNAs in chick brain. Neuroscience Letters, 133(1), 45-48. https://doi.org/10.1016/0304-3940%2891%2990053-v

We have used sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes and in situ hybridisation histochemistry to examine the distributions of the GABAA receptor α1- and γ2-subunit mRNAs in serial sections of 1-day-old chick brain. Both transcripts are present toget... Read More about Distribution of the GABAA receptor α1- and γ2-subunit mRNAs in chick brain.

Cloning of a cDNA that encodes an invertebrate glutamate receptor subunit (1991)
Journal Article
Hutton, M. L., Harvey, R. J., Barnard, E. A., & Darlison, M. (1991). Cloning of a cDNA that encodes an invertebrate glutamate receptor subunit. FEBS Letters, 292(1-2), 111-114. https://doi.org/10.1016/0014-5793%2891%2980846-u

A full‐length cDNA which encodes a putative glutamate receptor polypeptide was isolated from the pond snailLymnaea stagnalis, using a short stretch of exonic sequence and two variants of the polymerase chain reaction. In this first comparison of inve... Read More about Cloning of a cDNA that encodes an invertebrate glutamate receptor subunit.

A computer-based microworld for the assessment and remediation of sentence processing deficits in aphasia. (1991)
Thesis
Crerar, M. A. A computer-based microworld for the assessment and remediation of sentence processing deficits in aphasia. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4968

This thesis investigates impairments of written sentence comprehension in 14
aphasic adults. The primary purpose of the research was to apply computer
technology to the process of assessment, with the aim of improving diagnostic
precision and ther... Read More about A computer-based microworld for the assessment and remediation of sentence processing deficits in aphasia..

Conserved Organization of ?-Aminobutyric AcidAReceptor Genes: Cloning and Analysis of the Chicken ?4-Subunit Gene (1991)
Journal Article
Lasham, A., Vreugdenhil, E., Bateson, A. N., Barnard, E. A., & Darlison, M. G. (1991). Conserved Organization of ?-Aminobutyric AcidAReceptor Genes: Cloning and Analysis of the Chicken ?4-Subunit Gene. Journal of Neurochemistry, 57(1), 352-355. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1471-4159.1991.tb02135.x

Abstract: A series of genomic clones containing DNA that encodes the chicken γ-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor β4 subunit have been isolated. These have been restriction mapped and partially sequcnced to determine the structural organization and...

The effect of acidification on epilithic algae in the Loch Ard catchment. (1991)
Thesis
Kinross, J. H. The effect of acidification on epilithic algae in the Loch Ard catchment. (Thesis). Napier Polytechnic of Edinburgh. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2811

A survey of epilithic filamentous algae was carried out at 15 sites on 10 streams with a range of mean pH from 4.37 to 6.67 in the Loch Ard area of the Trossachs, between 1986 and 1988. Monitoring of physical and chemical parameters was carried out i... Read More about The effect of acidification on epilithic algae in the Loch Ard catchment..

Preliminary assessment of forest birds in Kiono, Pande, Kisiju and Kiwengoma coastal forests, Tanzania (1991)
Journal Article
Burgess, N. D., Huxham, M. R., Mlingwa, C. O. F., Davies, S. G. F., & Cutts, C. J. (1991). Preliminary assessment of forest birds in Kiono, Pande, Kisiju and Kiwengoma coastal forests, Tanzania. Scopus, 14(2),

A preliminary assessment of the forest birds in four Tanzanian coastal forests (Kiono, Pande, Kisiju and Kiwengoma) is presented. Up to 51 species of forest bird were recorded from a single forest, with diversity declining in a sequence: Kiono; Kiwen...
