    Notes: Objective— To examine the maternal influences which determine large placental weight and a high ratio of placental weight to birthweight. These are known predictors of adult blood pressure.Design— Retrospective analysis of routine obstetric and haematology department records for a large cohort of pregnant women.Setting— John Radeliffe Hospital, Oxford.Subjects— 8684 pregnant women who were delivered between January 1987 and January 1989 and whose records could be linked to the results of two or more pregnancy blood counts.Main outcome measures— Placental weight and the ratio of placental weight to birthweight.Results— Large placental weight was associated with a low maternal haemoglobin and a fall in maternal mean cell volume during pregnancy. The highest ratio of placental weight to birthweight occurred in the most anaemic women with the largest falls in mean cell volume. Large placental weight and a high ratio of placental weight to birthweight were also independently associated with a high maternal body mass index. Maternal smoking reduced placental weight, but increased the ratio of placental weight to birthweight.Conclusions— Anaemia and iron deficiency during pregnancy are associated with large placental weight and a high ratio of placental weight to birthweight. This points to maternal nutritional deficiency as a cause for discordance between placental and fetal growth. This may have important implications for the prevention of adult hypertension, which appears to have its origin in fetal life.

    Notes: Abstract The mixed-mode, elastodynamic state of stress in the neighborhood of a constant-velocity crack tip is used to generate numerically unsymmetric isochromatics. Unsymmetry associated with the third-order terms of a mixed-mode stress field, with and without the Mode II singular stress term, is also investigated. In extractingK I from an unsymmetric isochromatic pattern, errors in the Mode I fracture parameters due to the assumed presence ofK II in aK I stress field were found to be significant when data are taken more than 4 mm from the crack tip.

    Notes: Abstract A general algorithm is presented that computes the stress-field parameters for opening-mode crack problems in a least-squares sense from full-field moiré or speckle-displacement fringe patterns. The algorithm can be used in the presence of rigid-body rotation and does not require absolute fringe numbering. Extensive numerical experiments were conducted with the algorithm to determine the sensitivity of the method to experimental errors. Small random position errors in locating the fringe maxima were found to have a negligible influence on the stress-intensity-factor calculation when the number of data points was about ten times greater than the number of unknown stress-field parameters. It was also found that systematic position errors due to an incorrectly specified crack-tip location could be minimized by assuming various crack-tip locations in the vicinity of the actual crack tip and selecting the best fit results. Bothu andv fields were found to be equally suitable for determination of the stress-intensity factor.
