Social capital has played an increasingly important role in regional development. China is a country with high stocks of social
capital. Using several different indicators of social capital, this study tries to research the regional disparities in social
capital and the influence of social capital on economic growth of China in 1978–2004. Measuring social capital with indicators
of associations, charities and blood donation rates, this study finds significant regional disparities in social capital at
provincial level in China. Those indicators for social capital are highly correlated with regional economic performance. Statistical
analysis shows that social capital has a significant and positive effect on a long-term provincial economic growth. This relationship
exists after controlling policy, macro location factors, and per capita GDP in the initial year. The empirical findings indicate
that institutions, culture and social relations are critical for regional development in China. Therefore, the creation and
support of social capital should be paid more attention to when making regional policy. 相似文献
TiO2 films were formed on metallic titanium substrates by the anodic oxidation method in H2SO4 solution under the 80V D.C.. Phase component and microstructure were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning
electron microscopy (SEM). Water contact angles on titanium oxide film surface were measured under both dark and sunlight
illumination conditions. Corrosion tests were carried out in seawater under different illumination conditions by electrochemistry
impedance spectrum (EIS) and polarization curves. The result showed that the TiO2 film prepared by the anodic oxidation method was anatase with a uniform structure and without obvious pores or cracks on
its surface. The average water contact angle of the film was 116.4° in dark, in contrast to an angle of 42.7° under the UV
illumination for 2 hours, which demonstrates good hydrophobic property. The anti-corrosion behavior of the TiO2 film was declining with the extended immersion time. Under dark conditions, however, the hydrophobic TiO2 film retarded the water infiltrating into the substrate. The impedance changed slowly and the corrosion current density was
2 orders of magnitude lower than that with the film illuminated by sunlight. All of those mentioned above indicate that the
TiO2 film possesses much better performance under dark condition, and it can be applied as an engineering material under dark
seawater environment. 相似文献
AbstractCobalt-rich crust has attracted increased attention due to their economic value. Studies have indicated that seamounts in the Western Pacific Ocean are rich in cobalt-rich crust resources. The Caiwei Guyot in Western Pacific Ocean is one of the cobalt-rich crust exploration areas contracted between China and the International Seabed Authority. A large volume of research has been conducted to elucidate the tectonic evolution, basement type, sediment type, gravity and magnetic anomaly characteristics, and geochemical characteristics of shallow surface sediments at Caiwei Guyot. However, a research gap exists on the sedimentary strata below the pelagic deposits and above the volcanic basement of the Caiwei Guyot. This paper summarizes that two main types of sediments existing on the top of Caiwei Guyot. The deposition thickness on the top of Caiwei Guyot is characterized by three sedimentary centers and exposed periphery. Pelagic sediments are difficult to form at the northeastern portion and edge area of Caiwei Guyot due to the strong bottom current environment, which makes these areas suitable for crust growth. This paper delineated three cobalt-rich crust prospective areas at the Caiwei Guyot with of significant implications for exploration and mining-lease-block selections at Caiwei Guyot. 相似文献
