SummaryAn experiment designed to assess the components of variability of a number of measures of platelet aggregability showed that the ADP ED50 (the estimated dose of adenosine diphosphate at which primary aggregation occurs at half its maximum velocity) had the least method error of any of the parameters measured, but that none had a very high between-person component of variability. A simultaneous comparison of a syringe technique and a free-flowing technique for venepuncture revealed no differential effects on the aggregation parameters measured. An enforced increase in the stirring speed in the aggregometer led to an experiment which showed that such a change did not apparently affect the ED50s.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the application of C-shaped QFD 3D Matrix in comparing process characteristics (PC), performance aspects (PA) and customer requirements, simultaneously and to prioritize the first two sets, respectively. Design/methodology/approach A three dimensional matrix has been developed with three sets of PC, PA and customers’ requirements and C-shaped matrix has been applied for simultaneous comparison of the dimensions and prioritization of the subsets of PC and PA. The proposed approach has been examined in a post bank. Findings Findings confirm the possibility of simultaneous comparison and prioritization of the three sets of dimensions of this study in post bank services. In addition, “growth and learning” and “bilateral relationship with suppliers” had the first priorities among PA and PC, respectively. Research limitations/implications While the proposed approach has many advantages, filling the matrixes is time-consuming. Since illustrating the 3D matrix was not possible, the matrix was separated into five two-dimensional matrixes. Originality/value Compared to the studied literature, the proposed approach is practically new in the post bank services.

1. The behaviour of Peripatopsis moseleyi (Wood-Mason) towards humidity has been investigated. At 25.5°C. the animal is found to have a preferred relative humidity of about 98% 2. Humidity receptors mediating a reaction towards the wet occur over the general surface of the body. Receptors mediating a reaction towards the dry occur on the antennae. The receptors on the body surface probably depend for their functioning upon the rate of evaporation of water. 3. The reaction towards the wet is effected by an orthokinesis involving both speed and activity. This is enhanced by a tendency to turn more frequently in the wet than in the dry. There is further a directed reaction which depends upon the simultaneous comparison of the stimulation intensities at the anterior and posterior ends of the animal. 4. The reaction away from saturation is due to a speed and activity orthokinesis. 5. The existence of a reaction away from saturation together with the opposing reactions away from dryness result in a preferred humidity just below saturation.

Independent Work

Results previously described for the respiration of barley root tips lead to the conclusion that their cytochrome system temporarily gives way to a copper-dependent system a few days after germination. Independent work with related species does not suggest similar effects. A simultaneous comparison of barley and wheat root tips has therefore been carried out and has given results in full agreement with previous work for both species. The change, referred to here as ‘the dieca effect’, occurs in barley and not in wheat. It indicates that a drastic alteration of oxidation mechanism may occur in a rapidly growing tissue without apparent disturbance to growth or salt uptake by the tissue.
