SummaryDuring acute malaria infection, platelets in human platelet-rich plasma are hypersensitive to the addition of ADP between 1.0 uM and 5.0 uM, or adrenaline 0.11 uM as aggregating agents. The mean maximum aggregation amplitude (as % of light transmission) obtained from 8 subjects in response to added ADP (1.0 uM), 39.8 ± 27 (1SD), was significantly greater than the value in 6 controls (5.2±6.7 (1SD); t = 3, 51 P <0.005). A similar pattern of response was obtained with higher ADP concentrations (2.4,4.5 or 5.0 uM) in 22 patients and 20 control subjects (89.9±14.9% vs 77.8±16.5% (1SD) t = 2.45, P <0.02). Addition of 4.5 uM ADP to patient PRP usually evoked only a single aggregation wave (fused primary and secondary waves) while the typical primary and secondary wave pattern was usually obtained from controls.Mean plasma B-thromboglobulin (BTG) concentration in 7 patients (208.3 ± 15.6 ng/ml) was significantly higher than the value in 6 control subjects (59.2±15.7 ng/ml; t = 13.44, P <0.002).

The following paper is a study of the surface waves caused by a doublet in a uniform stream, and in particular the variation in the pattern with the velocity of the stream or the depth of the doublet. In most recent work on this subject attention has been directed more to the wave resistance, which can be evaluated with less difficulty than is involved in a detailed study of the waves; in fact, it would seem that it is not necessary for that purpose to know the surface elevation completely, but only certain significant terms at large distances from the disturbance. Recent experimental work has shown con­siderable agreement between theoretical expressions for wave resistance and results for ship models of simple form, and attempts have been made at a similar comparison for the surface elevation in the neighbourhood of the ship. In the latter respect it may be necessary to examine expressions for the surface elevation with more care, as they are not quite determinate; any suitable free disturbance may be superposed upon the forced waves. For instance, it is well known that in a frictionless liquid a possible solution is one which gives waves in advance as well as in the rear of the ship, and the practical solution is obtained by superposing free waves which annul those in advance, or by some equivalent artifice. This process is simple and definite for an ideal point disturbance, but for a body of finite size or a distributed disturbance the complete surface elevation in the neighbourhood of the body requires more careful specification as regards the local part due to each element. It had been intended to consider some expressions specially from this point of view, but as the matter stands at present it would entail a very great amount of numerical calculation, and the present paper is limited to a much simpler problem although also involving considerable computation. A horizontal doublet of given moment is at a depth f below the surface of a stream of velocity c ; the surface effect may be described as a local disturbance symmetrical fore and aft of the doublet together with waves to the rear. Two points are made in the following work.

The objective of this investigation is to characterize a quasi-standing-wave pattern having a wavelength two orders of magnitude smaller than the corresponding acoustic wavelength, and relate it to the presence of: a) a downstream travelling wave due to vortical structures generated in a free shear layer, and b) downstream and upstream propagating acoustic waves. In this experiment, the vortical structures were generated by flow past an axisymmetric cavity and their influence extended downstream through the exhaust pipe. The amplitudes of the acoustic waves were associated with Helmholtz resonance of the upstream settling chamber. A linear theory models well the measured amplitude and phase distributions of the fluctuating velocity in the core flow. As system resonance is approached, the ratio of vortex wave amplitude to acoustic wave amplitude decreases. The consequence is an increase in the magnitude and gradient of the phase change across the node, or amplitude minimum, of the resultant standing-wave pattern. In addition, the peak-to-peak amplitude of the quasi-standing-wave increases. A variety of internal (and external) flow systems, including unsteady phenomena in wind tunnels, may be subject to this flow mechanism when the frequency of coherent vortex formation in the test section lies near the Helmholtz resonance frequency of the upstream settling (or plenum) chamber.
