Changes in the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Human Blood with Sustained Prophylactic Use of Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin)—A Rheological Study

While the prophylactic use of regular, low dosage, acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) has been employed due to the inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation, few if any rheological studies validate the change in the physical and mechanical properties of human blood post-aspirin administration. The viscosity and yield stress of blood from eleven donors were assessed at varied shear rates before and after daily aspirin administration (81 mg) for 14 consecutive days. The findings indicate a statistically relevant aggregated decrease with respect to viscosity and yield stress within the study population.

Characterizations of Sobolev spaces in Euclidean spaces and Heisenberg groups

Recently, many new features of Sobolev spaces W k,p ？RN ？ were studied in [4-6, 32]. This paper is devoted to giving a brief review of some known characterizations of Sobolev spaces in Euclidean spaces and describing our recent study of new characterizations of Sobolev spaces on both Heisenberg groups and Euclidean spaces obtained in [12] and [13] and outlining their proofs. Our results extend those characterizations of first order Sobolev spaces in [32] to the Heisenberg group setting. Moreover, our theorems also provide diff erent characterizations for the second order Sobolev spaces in Euclidean spaces from those in [4, 5].

反思金融深化：新兴市场的稳定与发展

有深度和流动性良好的金融系统,加上有丰富的金融工具可抵御金融冲击,还可以增加一国金融的稳定性。但是金融发展或许存在一个边界,越过此边界进一步发展其收益或将下降。本文通过研究新兴市场发现:一、大部分新兴市场金融进一步发展仍然对经济的增长和稳定有利。二、金融发展对经济增长的促进作用是倒U型的,在越过高点之后金融深化对要素生产率的促进作用将下降。三、如果金融发展过快,快速深化的金融产业可能引发经济和金融动荡。四、提升金融稳定与金融发展之间没有太大冲突,更好的金融监管有助于提升金融稳定,促进金融发展。五、发展金融机构或金融市场不存在通用的顺序,尽管前者对经济的作用在下降而后者在上升。
