This paper reports on a study which has been undertaken using data from the 1989 Bangladesh Fertility Survey (BFS) to determine the significance of influences on the probability of birth in the year preceding the survey. In the survey a total of 11 9... Read More about Factors affecting the most recent fertility rates in urban-rural Bangladesh.

A semicustom IC for generating optimum generalized Reed-Muller expansions (1997)
Journal Article
Almaini, A. E. A. (1997). A semicustom IC for generating optimum generalized Reed-Muller expansions. Microelectronics Journal, 28(2), 129-142. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0026-2692%2896%2900087-0

The paper explains the theory and design of a semi-custom integrated circuit (IC) for the generation of optimum polarity of a given Boolean function. Given the minterm coefficients of all the fixed polarities of the generalized Reed-Muller expansions... Read More about A semicustom IC for generating optimum generalized Reed-Muller expansions.

In Situ Hybridization Localization of the GABAA Receptor β2S- and β2L-Subunit Transcripts Reveals Cell-Specific Splicing of Alternate Cassette Exons (1997)
Journal Article
Harvey, R., & Darlison, M. (1997). In Situ Hybridization Localization of the GABAA Receptor β2S- and β2L-Subunit Transcripts Reveals Cell-Specific Splicing of Alternate Cassette Exons. Neuroscience, 77(2), 361-369. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0306-4522%2896%2900467-8

We have recently described two variants of the chicken {GABAA} receptor β2 subunit which arise by alternative splicing of the corresponding primary gene transcript. The long form of the β2 subunit (β2L) differs from the short form (β2S) by the insert...

Effect of induced vortices on liquid outflow from vessels (1997)
Journal Article
Chow, K. C., & Kubie, J. (1997). Effect of induced vortices on liquid outflow from vessels. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 211(2), 135-141. https://doi.org/10.1243/0954406971521719

This paper considers the influence of viscosity and circulation on the effect of vortices on the liquid outflow from open vessels. One of the simplest possible arrangements is investigated: an axisymmetric vertical cylindrical vessel with an outlet i... Read More about Effect of induced vortices on liquid outflow from vessels.

Combined direct and indirect adaptive control of constrained robots (1997)
Journal Article
Yu, H., & Lloyd, S. (1997). Combined direct and indirect adaptive control of constrained robots. International Journal of Control, 68(5), 955-970. https://doi.org/10.1080/002071797223154

The force tracking error is dependent on both the position tracking error and the estimated parameter error so that, in constrained adaptive robot control, the convergence of the estimated parameter error becomes more important than in unconstrained...

bclasses: A construct and method for modelling co-operative object behaviour (1997)
Journal Article
Marshall, B. R., Kennedy, J. B., & Barclay, P. J. (1997). bclasses: A construct and method for modelling co-operative object behaviour. Information and Software Technology, 39(5), 351-361. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0950-5849%2896%2901151-2

Current object-oriented (OO) modelling techniques emphasise the static aspects of data objects. Dynamics in general and collaborations between objects in particular tend to be poorly supported and are often treated separately. A full understanding of...

“But is it fair?”: An exploratory study of student perceptions of the consequential validity of assessment (1997)
Journal Article
Sambell, K., McDowell, L., & Brown, S. (1997). “But is it fair?”: An exploratory study of student perceptions of the consequential validity of assessment. Studies in Educational Evaluation, 23(4), 349-371. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0191-491x%2897%2986215-3

n the "Impact of Assessment" project, we have been studying the effects of alternative ways of assessing student learning through a number of case studies of assessment in practice. Amongst the criteria used to evaluate methods of assessing student l... Read More about “But is it fair?”: An exploratory study of student perceptions of the consequential validity of assessment.

Shared care? Some effects of patient access to medical communications (1997)
Journal Article

This paper describes the introduction of a model of community mental health services in out-patient settings within which a key feature is a letter-sharing scheme. Copies of letters from psychiatrists to GPs are routinely sent to both patients and CM... Read More about Shared care? Some effects of patient access to medical communications.

Differential patterns of expression of two novel invertebrate (Lymnaea stagnalis) ionotropic glutamate receptor genes (1997)
Journal Article

We report the isolation of molluscan (Lymnaea stagnalis) partial complementary DNAs (cDNAs) that encode two new putative glutamate-gated cation-channel polypeptides. These proteins, which we have named Lym-eGluR4 and Lym-eGluR5, exhibit 56% identity...
