Direct sequencing of lambda DNA from crude lysates using an improved linear amplification technique (1993)
Journal Article
Lasham, A., & Darlison, M. G. (1993). Direct sequencing of lambda DNA from crude lysates using an improved linear amplification technique. Molecular and Cellular Probes, 7(1), 67-73. doi:10.1006/mcpr.1993.1009

We described an improved method for directly sequencing lambda (λ) DNA that has been isolated from either crude cleared lysates or plate lysates. This protocol does not require that the DNA be obtained from bacteriophage particles that have been puri...

A co-operative computer based on the principles of human co-operation (1993)
Journal Article
Clarke, A. A., & Smyth, M. (1993). A co-operative computer based on the principles of human co-operation. International journal of man-machine studies, 38(1), 3-22. https://doi.org/10.1006/imms.1993.1002

Co-operation is presented as a technique for radically improving human-computer interaction with complex knowledge bases during problem-identifying and problem-solving tasks. A study of human-human co-operation literature indicated the importance of... Read More about A co-operative computer based on the principles of human co-operation.

Architectures for persistence (1993)
Journal Article
Russell, G., & Cockshott, W. P. (1993). Architectures for persistence. Microprocessors and Microsystems, 17(3), 117-130. https://doi.org/10.1016/0141-9331%2893%2990042-6

Persistent object oriented architectures have been researched for many years, deriving initially from the Manchester University Atlas machine. In reality, however, few actual implementations of persistent architectures exist. In the first half of thi... Read More about Architectures for persistence.

Journal Article
Darlison, M. G., Bermudez, I., Van Minnen, J., Zimmermann, C., Amar, M., Dautzenberg, F. M., Kim, H., Stühmer, T., & Harvey, R. J. (1993). Molecular Characterisation and Functional Expression of Molluscan Ion-Channel Receptors That Can Be Activated By Either γ-Aminobutyric Acid or L-Glutamate. Netherlands Journal of Zoology, 44(3), 473-485. https://doi.org/10.1163/156854293x00557

Ligand-gated ion channels (also called ionotropic receptors) are a class of receptors which possess an intrinsic ion pore, selective for either cations or anions, that can be opened by the binding of an appropriate neurotransmitter. Ionotropic recept... Read More about Molecular Characterisation and Functional Expression of Molluscan Ion-Channel Receptors That Can Be Activated By Either γ-Aminobutyric Acid or L-Glutamate.

Modelling ecological data. (1992)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1992). Modelling ecological data. In H. Hinterberger, & J. C. French (Eds.), Proceedings of the Sixth International Working Conference on Scientific and Statistical Database Management (77-93)

Ecological surveys generate large quantities of data; database technology has not yet reached its full
potential in this area. Here we investigate approaches to modelling ecological data, considering the require-
ments for a successful model. An ob... Read More about Modelling ecological data..
