The effect of MgO on structure and dielectric properties of aluminoborosilicate glasses was investigated. FTIR data indicated that glass network was mainly built by tetrahedral [SiO4], [BO4], [AlO4] and trigonal [BO3]. A small amount of AlO5 or AlO6 units also existed. The glass system was...

RO-Al2O3-B2O3-SiO2 (R = Ca, Mg) glasses containing different concentrations of TiO2 (ranging from 0 to 9 mol.%) were prepared by conventional melting method. When TiO2 was present in lower concentrations (≤ 6 mol.%), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated that titanium ions...

The present paper assesses the impact of improved upland rice technology on farmers' well-being. The study uses propensity-score matching to address the problem of 'self-selection,' because technology adoption is not randomly assigned. It applies this procedure to household survey data collected...

This study analyzes the impact on income inequality of government efforts to increase agricultural incomes in rural China. It collects and analyzes survey data from 473 households in Yunnan, China in 2004. In particular, it investigates the effects of government efforts to promote improved...

Naoli river basin(NRB), with an area of 24,863 km<Superscript>2</Superscript>, is the largest basin and also the largest marsh distribution area in Sanjiang Plain, Heilongjiang, China. The hydrological evolution process of wetland in NRB has made a marked ecological responses for anthropic activities, also reflects the...</superscript>

LaNiO3(LNO) thin films were prepared on Si(100) substrates by a chemical solution deposition method. The orientation of LNO films was controlled by changing the acetic acid amount, concentration of the precursor solutions and pre-annealing time. The highly (100)- and (110)-oriented LNO films...
