Structural and functional basis for GABAA receptor heterogeneity (1988)
Journal Article
Levitan, E. S., Schofield, P. R., Burt, D. R., Rhee, L. M., Wisden, W., Köhler, M., Fujita, N., Rodriguez, H. F., Stephenson, A., Darlison, M. G., Barnard, E. A., & Seeburg, P. H. (1988). Structural and functional basis for GABAA receptor heterogeneity. Nature, 335(6185), 76-79. https://doi.org/10.1038/335076a0

When γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in vertebrate brain, binds to its receptor it activates a chloride channel. Neurotransmitter action at the GABAA receptor is potentiated by both benzodiazepines and barbiturates w... Read More about Structural and functional basis for GABAA receptor heterogeneity.

Experience with Adaptive Interfaces (1988)
Journal Article
Benyon, D., & Murray, D. (1988). Experience with Adaptive Interfaces. Computer Journal, 31(5), 465-473. https://doi.org/10.1093/comjnl/31.5.465

Over the last few years, adaptive interfaces have become a focus of research. In HCI one system is Monitor, which formed the basis of an adaptive interfaces project funded by the National Physical Laboratory. This paper describes our experiences in w...

Modelling and Forecasting Human Populations using Sigmoid Models (1987)
Thesis
Raeside, R. Modelling and Forecasting Human Populations using Sigmoid Models. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1053286

Early this century "S-shaped" curves, sigmoids, gained
populari ty among demographers. However, by 1940, the approach
had "fallen out of favour", being criticised for giving po,or
results and having no theoretical validity. It was also
considered... Read More about Modelling and Forecasting Human Populations using Sigmoid Models.
