Tumour was obtained from 37 patients with oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, before and during treatment with tamoxifen, and examined qualitatively and semi-qualitatively for mRNA of the three mammalian TGF-beta isoforms. Levels of TGF-beta i... Read More about Changes in expression of transforming growth factor beta mRNA isoforms in patients undergoing tamoxifen therapy.

TOTEM: an Interactive Tool for Creative Data Modelling (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Crerar, A., Barclay, P. J., & Watt, R. (1996, July). TOTEM: an Interactive Tool for Creative Data Modelling. Presented at 3rd International Workshop on Interfaces to Databases, Napier University, Edinburgh

Data modelling is a crucial and early step in the design of all but the most trivial database systems. Although a fundamental skill for information systems designers, data modelling is not easy to do well and novices are known to have considerable di...

Functional languages on linear chromosomes (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Holmes, P., & Barclay, P. J. (1996). Functional languages on linear chromosomes. In Proceedings of the 1st annual conference on genetic programming (427)

Ayala & Kiger (1984) document a biological phenomenon in which co-adapted genes migrate and naturally cluster together into structures called supergenes. We have begun research into the implications of the supergene effect on the efficiency of evolut... Read More about Functional languages on linear chromosomes.

At least ten different static patterns have been suggested by the analysis of food webs. However, the existence of many of these patterns has been questioned in recent years. One pattern that has remained immune from such criticism is intervality. In... Read More about Do Parasites Reduce the Chances of Triangulation in a Real Food Web?.

The skull beneath the skin: entity-relationship models of information artifacts (1996)
Journal Article

Data modelling reveals the internal structure of an information system, abstracting away
from details of the physical representation. We show that entity-relationship modelling, a
well-tried example of a data-modelling technique, can be applied to... Read More about The skull beneath the skin: entity-relationship models of information artifacts.

Women undergoing a hysterectomy without oophorectomy in their premenopausal years would expect to benefit from continued secretion of oestrogens to protect them from the conditions and symptoms associated with the climacteric and postmenopause. Howev... Read More about Does hysterectomy in a premenopausal woman affect ovarian function?.
