The Use of Sigmoids in Modelling and Forecasting Human Populations (1988)
Journal Article
Raeside, R. (1988). The Use of Sigmoids in Modelling and Forecasting Human Populations. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series A, 151(3), 499. https://doi.org/10.2307/2982997

The use of sigmoid trend models, particularly the logistic model, was once popular among demographers. However, by 1940 the approach had fallen out of favour, being criticized for giving poor results and having no theoretical validity, and it was con...

Distinct GABAA receptor α subunit mRNAs show differential patterns of expression in bovine brain (1988)
Journal Article
Wisden, W., Morris, B. J., Darlison, M. G., Hunt, S. P., & Barnard, E. A. (1988). Distinct GABAA receptor α subunit mRNAs show differential patterns of expression in bovine brain. Neuron, 1(10), 937-947. https://doi.org/10.1016/0896-6273%2888%2990151-1

Specific oligonucleotide probes have been used to visualize the regional and cellular distribution of the mRNAs encoding three structurally distinct GABA A receptor α subunits in bovine brain. In situ hybridization analysis showed that these transcri... Read More about Distinct GABAA receptor α subunit mRNAs show differential patterns of expression in bovine brain.

Influence of containing walls on the distribution of voidage in packed beds of uniform spheres (1988)
Journal Article
Kubie, J. (1988). Influence of containing walls on the distribution of voidage in packed beds of uniform spheres. Chemical Engineering Science, 43(6), 1403-1405. https://doi.org/10.1016/0009-2509%2888%2985113-3

The distribution of voidage in the wall regions of randomly packed beds of uniform spheres is investigated. A general equation relating the local voidage to the distribution of the spheres is derived and is combined with some simple observations abou...

Clinical trial of incontinence garments: recognition of the possible influence of the Hawthorne effect (1988)
Journal Article
Hanley, J., Beveridge, M., Aitken, C., Hunter, J., Dick, T., & Prescott, R. (1988). Clinical trial of incontinence garments: recognition of the possible influence of the Hawthorne effect. Clinical Rehabilitation, 2(4), 285-290. https://doi.org/10.1177/026921558800200403

The results of clinical trials must be interpreted with care, recognizing that they may be affected by factors other than the items being tested. Different garments were routinely supplied from two distribution centres in Edinburgh, Urocare to the ma...

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., …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...

The SPRIG Union Catalogue of Periodicals on dBASE III (1987)
Journal Article
Atton, C. (1987). The SPRIG Union Catalogue of Periodicals on dBASE III. Program, 21(4), 376-378. https://doi.org/10.1108/eb046981

When the Sport & Recreation Information Group (SPRIG) was founded in 1984 one of its aims was to improve bibliographic control of the literature of sport, physical education and recreation. The co-operative exploitation of resources was also consider... Read More about The SPRIG Union Catalogue of Periodicals on dBASE III.

Molecular biology of the GABAA receptor: the receptor/channel superfamily (1987)
Journal Article

Complementary DNAs encoding the two subunit types of the brain GABAA receptor have been cloned, revealing its full protein primary structure1. In another laboratory, the same point has now been reached for one of the subunits of the spinal cord glyci...

Journal Article
Garavan, T. N. (1987). Promoting Natural Learning Activities within the Organisation. Journal of European industrial training, 11(7), 18-22. doi:10.1108/eb002233

The idea that learning is a natural human activity which takes place in a relatively non‐contrived way as part of everyday life has, in the author's experience, been lost when one considers the present state of training and development in many modern...
