Recursive approach to random sequential adsorption.

We present a generalization of Renyi's [A. Renyi, Trans. Math. Stat. Prob. 4, 205 (1963)] classical solution to the one-dimensional random sequential adsorption (RSA) problem, to the case where particle sizes are drawn from an arbitrary distribution, a process known as competitive RSA. We formulate the process using recursive relations, and without explicitly solving the equations, we extract limiting behavior which leads to exact analytic expressions for the final coverage. Our analysis is confirmed by computer simulations.

Beta-thromboglobulin levels in relation to myocardial infarction--preliminary observations.

34 patients with myocardial infarction were studied with daily measurements of beta-thromboglobulin (BTG) and 125I fibrinogen scanning in order to detect deep-venous thrombosis (DVT). Serial levels of BTG were unhelpful in the early detection of this condition, which occurred in 7 of the patients studied. 5 of the patients with DVT had received prophylactic heparin and 6 of them were non-smokers. This latter observation is in support of previous studies suggesting an increased incidence of DVT after myocardial infarction in non-smokers as compared to smokers.
