The Disparity Between the Level of Economic Development and Human Welfare     

Steven R. Holloway  Kavita Pandit 《The Professional geographer》1992,44(1):57-71

The lack of correspondence between traditional economic development measures, such as GNP per capita, and human welfare measures, such as the PQLI, has been well documented in the literature. We devised and analyzed an economic development-welfare disparity measure, and found considerable geographic variability, with actual levels of human welfare much less than expected in many Middle Eastern and African countries, given the level of economic development. Exploratory correlation and regression analysis revealed that inequalities in the distribution of economic power and governmental expenditures contributed to the geographic variability. More importantly, each region improved its standing on the development-welfare disparity measure when relevant factors were controlled via multivariate regression.  相似文献   

BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES DURING DEVELOPMENT OF EGGS AND YOLK-SAC LARVAE OF HERRING AND PLAICE   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：2  

殷名称  J.C.A.Craik 《中国海洋湖沼学报》1992,10(4):347-358

Changes in quantities of water, sodium, potassium, lipid and protein were compared in developing eggs and yolk-sac larvae of herring dupes harengus L., a species with demersal eggs, and plaice Pleuroncctcs platessa L., a species with pelagic eggs. The principal difference between the two species was the occurrence in herring, but not in plaice of considerable increases in water content and in one or both of the above ions at three distinct stages: at fertilization,during the middle stage of egg development, and in the days immediately after hatching. Newly hatched larvae of the two species differed greatly in water content because of the difference in mass and water content of the yolk, not in the water content of the rest of the body. In herring, there were increases in sodium and potassium which coincided broadly with the increase in water content. These differences are related to the gradual acquisition of buoyancy by herring during this period, comparable with the buoyancy conferred on plaice eggs a  相似文献

陕甘宁半干旱区特大降水的环流特征     

夏建平  李云 《干旱气象》1995,(4)

分析陕甘宁半干旱区特大降水的环流特征及其与一般大、暴雨的环流差异，指出中低纬系统相互作用和下游系统阻挡是产生特大降水的重要条件。热带气旋北上时，存在第二类间接作用，不仅在东风急流下游能出现倒槽暴雨，还有利于热带气旋下游的副热带高压另一侧产生特大降水。  相似文献   

武夷山古环境的变迁与土壤发育的关系   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

陈君月  周性敦 《福建地质》1993,12(3):228-231

在综合研究了武夷山主峰黄岗山的地质、地貌、植被、气候及第四纪孢粉分析资料后认为,黄岗山在晚第三纪至第四纪的数百万年间,曾经历了至少三次断块抬升运动,每次抬升幅度300—400m,总上升量可达千米之巨。黄岗山的土壤之所以在若干重要分类指标上产生变异,其原因很可能是古环境遗留的特征仍居主导地位,近代成土作用只不过是在原来脱硅富铝化基础上的附加成土过程。  相似文献

宝鸡市地质灾害特征及形成主要因素分析     

杨智国 《陕西地质》1993,(1)

介绍了宝鸡市地质灾害的类型、规模及特征,并着重分析了宝鸡市地质灾害形成的主要因素。认为虽然造成区内地质灾害发生的因素甚多,但近年来大多与人为因素诱发有关。因此,在国土开发和国民经济建设中,应重视对地质环境的保护,避免因人类不适宜的活动而诱发地质灾害。  相似文献   

对太白山旅游资源开发与保护的探讨     

方东汉 《陕西地质》1993,(2)

太白山具有丰富而独特的地质、生物和自然景观,气势磅礴、变化万千,而为古今中外科学家和文人学士所向往。太白山第四纪冰川遗迹保存完整;生物资源丰富多彩,仅珍稀动物如熊猫、金丝猴、羚牛、大鲵(娃娃鱼)等就有10多种。太白山已被列为国家级自然保护区。对该区旅游资源必须在切实加强保护的前提下合理开发利用,为此,本文对其开发与保护规划提出探讨性意见。  相似文献   

Three-dimensional structure of the crust and upper mantle beneath the south China area from long period surface waves     

《地震学报(英文版)》1993,6(3):619-629

In the present study the long period surface wave records of 238 wave-paths from 79 earthquakes within China and its adjacent regions received by 30 seismic network stations are measured by using the improved match-filtering frequency-time analysis technique and the grid dispersion inversion method to obtain the rayleigh pure-path dispersion values for 147 slant grids of 4° × 4° in this area, then a three-dimensional shear wave velocity model of the crust and upper mantle beneath south China area to a depth of 170 km is inversed. It is found that there are obvious differences among the main structural units, and there are also certain differences among the subordinate elements even in the individual unit. The crustal thickness of this area is ranging from 30 to 43 km, and is getting thicker gradually from the east to the west. The average shear velocity of crust is ranging form 3.48 to 3.68 km/s with the lowest in the northeast part and highest in the west part. No obvious crustal low velocity layer of large scale is detected. There exist upper mantle low velocity zones in the most of south China area with the starting depth ranging from 75 to 106 km. The lowest shear velocity within the low velocity zones is about 4.28–4.38 km/s. Despite of the existing of upper mantle low velocity zones beneath the most of south China area, the interfaces between the important layers are quite clear, the variation of the bedding surfaces is very gentle, and the lateral changes measured in a larger scale of the underground structure are rather small. It may indicate that the crustal and upper mantle structure of the main part of south China area belongs to the relatively stable structure of the continental blocks except for the fringe areas such as the fold-faulted region in the west part and the fault system along the southeastern coast which may belong to the tectonically active area.
