Journal Article
Barton, J. W., Ratcliffe, N. M., Roberts, G. G., Petty, M. C., Jones, C. A., Jones, C., …Barton, J. (1987). IR studies of pyroelectric Langmuir-Blodgett films. Thin Solid Films, 155(2), 187-195. https://doi.org/10.1016/0040-6090%2887%2990064-2

Alternate-layer Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) assemblies, consisting of 22-tricosenoic acid with three different amine derivatives, have been fabricated. The pyroelectric activity in the films has been assessed and correlated with their structures determine... Read More about IR studies of pyroelectric Langmuir-Blodgett films.

Education on drugs and alcohol: Past disappointments and future challenges (1987)
Journal Article
Plant, M. A., Bagnall, G., Bagnall, G. M., & Plant, M. (1987). Education on drugs and alcohol: Past disappointments and future challenges. Health Education Research, 2(4), 417-422. https://doi.org/10.1093/her/2.4.417

A review is presented of the effectiveness of alcohol and drug education. It is concluded that, contrary to popular belief, there is little evidence that such education is 'effective' in curbing 'problematic' or illegal behaviour and that in some con...

Between 1980 and 1983 a prospective study of 1008 pregnant women was conducted in South East Scotland, to investigate whether or not maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy was associated with birth abnormalities. The initial results indicated... Read More about Family alcohol problems among pregnant women: Links with maternal substance use and birth abnormalities.

Pyroelectric behaviour of Langmuir-Blodgett films containing polar chromophores (1987)
Journal Article
Daniel, M. F., Roser, S. J., Ratcliffe, N., Smith, G. W., Smith, G., Ratcliffe, N. M., …Daniel, M. (1987). Pyroelectric behaviour of Langmuir-Blodgett films containing polar chromophores. Thin Solid Films, 151(1), 9-15. https://doi.org/10.1016/0040-6090%2887%2990003-4

The pyroelectric behaviour of Langmuir-Blodgett films containing several different polar chromophores was studied. Two distinct levels of activity are seen. By comparison with films containing no chromophores it is shown that the lower level of activ... Read More about Pyroelectric behaviour of Langmuir-Blodgett films containing polar chromophores.

Older People in British Housing Studies: Rediscovery and Emerging Issues for Research (1987)
Journal Article
Means, R. (1987). Older People in British Housing Studies: Rediscovery and Emerging Issues for Research. Housing Studies, 2(2), 82-98. https://doi.org/10.1080/02673038708720591

This paper refers to an increased interest in older people in British housing research and literature. It explains the factors behind this increased interest and illustrates why a gerontological perspective in housing studies is needed. Reference is...

Problems influencing craftsmen's productivity in Nigeria (1987)
Journal Article
Price, A. D., Wahab, K. A., Olomolaiye, P. O., & Olomolaiye, P. (1987). Problems influencing craftsmen's productivity in Nigeria. Building and Environment, 22(4), 317-323. https://doi.org/10.1016/0360-1323%2887%2990024-2

The activity sampling technique was used on seven construction sites in Nigeria to determine how the working day was being utilised by craftsmen in bricklaying, joinery and steel fixing trades. Actual working time was observed to be 51% of the workin... Read More about Problems influencing craftsmen's productivity in Nigeria.

Vitamin C biosynthesis in prosimians: Evidence for the anthropoid affinity of Tarsius (1987)
Journal Article

This report examines the taxonomic distribution of the in vitro biosynthesis of ascorbic acid in the Prosimii (Order: Primates). Liver and kidney samples of 15 prosimian taxa, including Tarsius bancanus, were quantitatively tested for the enzyme L‐gu...

The use of long-term rainfall records for augmenting historic flood series: A case study on the upper Dee, Aberdeenshire, Scotland (1987)
Journal Article

Establishing the magnitude and frequency of floods within upland catchments on the basis of short-term gauged runoff records is crucially dependent upon the extent to which the record is truly representative. In the case of the River Dee, upstream of... Read More about The use of long-term rainfall records for augmenting historic flood series: A case study on the upper Dee, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Sources for establishing a Historic Flood Chronology (Pre-1940) within Scottish River Catchments (1987)
