Influence of soyabean meal supplementation on the resistance of Scottish Blackface lambs to haemonchosis
(1996-03)
Protein supplementation improves the resistance of sheep to haemonchosis. This experiment investigated the Scottish blackface breed to establish whether dietary protein supplementation is still beneficial in a genetically ...
3C 279 Multiwavelength Monitoring II : The Ground-based Campaign
(1996-03-01)
The optically violently variable quasar 3C 279 was monitored simultaneously from radio to y-ray frequencies in 1992 December-1993 January. We report a detailed study of the ground-based results from radio to optical ...
Investigation of the mode of action of nematode neuropeptides
(1996-03)
The neuropeptide AF2 has a complex set of actions on the dorsal muscle strip of Ascaris suum, including a potentiation of the acetylcholine-stimulated muscle contraction. Caffeine at 100 μm and 5 mm inhibited this potentiation, ...
Real-time effects of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid on dopamine release in slices of rat caudate putamen : A study using fast cyclic voltammetry
(1996-03)
The functional role of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) glutamate receptors in the real-time regulation of single electrical pulse (1 p)-stimulated endogenous dopamine release was investigated in slices of rat caudate putamen ...
Unchained memory: Error patterns rule out chaining models of immediate serial recall
(1996-02)
Many models of serial recall assume a chaining mechanism whereby each item associatively evokes the next in sequence. Chaining predicts that, when sequences comprise alternating confusable and non-confusable items, confusable ...
Environmental Management in Agriculture : An expert system approach
(1996-02)
The development of quantitative measures for self-assessment of the environmental performance of farming enterprises is described. A rule-based expert system approach is adopted based on well established sources of guidance. ...
Oilseed rape : disease development, forecasting and yield loss relationships
(HGCA, 1996-02)
A series of fourteen replicated plot scale experiments was established between 1991 and 1994 to determine the effect of disease on the yield of winter oilseed rape and the economic threshold and optimum fungicide timings ...
Comparison of somatodendritic and axon terminal dopamine release in the ventral tegmental area and the nucleus accumbens
(1996-02)
Fast cyclic voltammetry at a carbon fibre microelectrode was used to measure dopamine release following electrical or chemical stimulation in rat brain slices incorporating either the ventral tegmental area or the core ...
Use of neural networks in brain SPECT to diagnose Alzheimer's disease
(1996-02)
The usefulness of artificial neural networks in the classification of Tc-99m-HMPAO SPECT axial brain scans was investigated in a study group of Alzheimer's disease patients and age-matched normal subjects. Methods: The ...
