Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell, K., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1995, July). Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface. Presented at 13th British National Conference on Database - BNCOD13, 1995, University of Manchester

We propose a conceptual approach to defining interfaces to databases which uses the features of a fully object oriented data language to specify interface objects combined with database objects. This achieves a uniform, natural way of describing data... Read More about Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface.

The use of local search suggestion lists for improving the solution of timetable problems with evolutionary algorithms. (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paechter, B., Cumming, A., & Luchian, H. (1995). The use of local search suggestion lists for improving the solution of timetable problems with evolutionary algorithms. In Evolutionary Computing (86-93). https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-60469-3_27

This paper presents a new genetic representation for timetabling with evolutionary algorithms. The representation involves the use of suggestion lists for the placement of events into timeslots. A set of recombination operators is defined for the new... Read More about The use of local search suggestion lists for improving the solution of timetable problems with evolutionary algorithms..

Plasmid mediated VanB Glycopeptide resistance in Enterococci. (1995)
Journal Article
Woodford, N., Morrison, D., Johnson, A. P., Bateman, A. C., Hasting, J. G., Elliott, T. S. & Cookson, B. D. (1994). Plasmid mediated VanB Glycopeptide resistance in Enterococci. Microbial Drug Resistance. 1. . 235-240. . ISSN 1076-6294.

Enterococcus faecium, which was highly resistant to vancomycin (MIC 256 mg/liter), but susceptible to teicoplanin (MIC 2 mg/liter), caused two distinct episodes of infection on a renal unit in the United Kingdom. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFG... Read More about Plasmid mediated VanB Glycopeptide resistance in Enterococci..

Channel gating in the absence of agonist by a homooligomeric molluscan GABA receptor expressed inXenopus oocytes from a cloned cDNA (1995)
Journal Article

Invertebrate Neuroscience, 1(3), 267-272. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf02211028

We have previously described the isolation of a complementary DNA (cDNA) from the freshwater molluscLymnaea stagnalis encoding a polypeptide that exhibits ∼50{%} identity to the {ß}-subunits of vertebrate $γ$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A (GABAA) r...

Report
Roberts, D. (1995). Vector Padé Approximants. Edinburgh: Edinburgh Napier University

Napier Report CAM 95-3 (1995)

We consider the construction of rational approximations to given power series whose coefficients are vectors. The approximants are in the form of vector-valued continued fractions which may be used to obtain vector P... Read More about Vector Padé Approximants.

This paper describes the library mechanism for defining generic abstract data types (generic ADTs) as an extension to occam3 (occam3(e)). A generic ADT must be able to reuse either base data types or pre-defined data types and existing operations.... Read More about Generic Abstract Data Types in occam'3 (e).
