Journal Article
Harvey, R. J., Chinchetru, M. A., & Darlison, M. G. (1994). Alternative Splicing of a 51-Nucleotide Exon that Encodes a Putative Protein Kinase C Phosphorylation Site Generates Two Forms of the Chicken γ-Aminobutyric AcidAReceptor β2 Subunit. Journal of Neurochemistry, 62(1), 10-16. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1471-4159.1994.62010010.x

Complementary DNAs that encode two forms of the chicken -γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor β2 subunit have been isolated. These polypeptides differ by the presence (β2L) or absence (β2S) of 17 amino acids, which contain a possible target fo...

Phenotypic and phylogenetic characterisation of some Gemella-like organisms from human infections: description of Dolosigranulum pigrum gen. nov., sp. nov. (1993)
Journal Article
Aguirre, M., Morrison, D., Cookson, B. D., Gay, F. W. & Collins, M. D. (1992). Phenotypic and phylogenetic characterisation of some Gemella-like organisms from human infections: description of Dolosigranulum pigrum gen. nov., sp. nov. The journal of applied bacteriology. 75. . 608-612. . ISSN 0021-8847.

A phylogenetic analysis was performed on two previously uncharacterized Gram-positive, catalase-negative bacteria from clinical sources. 16S rRNA sequencing studies revealed the isolates represent a new line of descent within the lactic acid group of...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, P. J., Fraser, C., & Kennedy, J. (1992, July). Using a persistent system to construct a customised interface to an ecological db. Presented at 1st International workshop on Interfaces to Database

New applications of information technology have increasingly sophisticated user interface requirements. Such interfaces are sometimes highly application specific and therefore require to be customised to the given application area. Technology is requ...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J., Gupta, N. K., & Arnold, J. M. (1993). Simulation of radiation from a microstrip antenna using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method.

The authors have used the FDTD method to model and predict the radiation patterns from a microstrip antenna. One problem in modelling microstrip antennas is that these structures are highly resonant. The authors have described techniques to reduce th... Read More about Simulation of radiation from a microstrip antenna using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method..

Memory resident databases: reliability, compression and performance. (1993)
Report
Cockshott, W. P., Cowie, A., Russell, G., & McGregor, D. (1993). Memory resident databases: reliability, compression and performance

The paper argues that recent developments in non-volatile solid-state store allow a new implementation paradigm for databases. This involves replacing slow rotating storage with all-semiconductor data stores. A mechanism is presented to achieve high...
