Modelling and Forecasting Human Populations using Sigmoid Models (1987)
Thesis
Raeside, R. Modelling and Forecasting Human Populations using Sigmoid Models. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from 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.

Promoting Natural Learning Activities within the Organisation (1987)
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...

Amino-acid sequences derived from complementary DMAs encoding the α- and β-subunits of the GAB A/ benzo diazepine receptor from bovine brain show homology with other ligand-gated receptor subunits, suggesting that there is a super-family of ion-chann...

A model is developed for predicting the influence of the containing walls on heat transfer processes in stagnant beds of solid particles. The model describes the effect of the walls on the mean voidage of the bed and on the mean effective thermal con... Read More about Steady-state conduction in stagnant beds of solid particles.

A review of the major systems analysis methodologies is undertaken in order to examine the aspects of information systems (IS) which they seem best able to represent. The importance of a collection of techniques – the analyst's tool kit – is stressed... Read More about Towards a Tool Kit For the Systems Analyst.

Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-70690-5_13

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChR) mediate chemical communication at synapses in many parts of the vertebrate nervous system, including neuromuscular junctions, autonomic ganglia, and certain sites in the brain. This occurs through the interact... Read More about The Molecular Biology of Acetylcholine Receptors from the Vertebrate Peripheral and Central Nervous Systems.

Production functions and the disaggregation of Labor inputs in manufacturing plants. (1986)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the assumption of homogeneous labor inputs underlying the production functions in many regional models. The results indicate that nonproduction and production labor within manufacturing plants are not strongly separable, and t...

By considering the problem of an event timer it is shown that the commonly available synchronizing facilities (monitors, CSP, distributed processes) are not able to always satisfactorily model the requirements of several processes which must run in p...
