Methods Public investment in health was measured with macro data related to public health spending and child development in government expenditure. Public education investment was based on basic education data. Family investment evaluation was based on per capita family consumer spending data in different age groups to estimate the input for child development. Results Both public health investment level and the proportion of GDP rose for all age groups over time, but the overall investment level was still insufficient. Public investment in children's education has increased year by year, but the trends in all age groups are unbalanced with much lower investment in early childhood education. Private investment in children has increased over the period, but has declined as a percentage of GDP. International comparisons show that China's investment in child development is much lower than OECD countries. Conclusion The private investment in child development was the main way in China, with public finance contributing only a small proportion. Given the poor international comparisons, the government needs to review the balance of public investment to redirect more towards the development of children under the age of six to their health and education.展开更多

At prese...A key issue of applying remotely sensed data to estimate evapotranspiration (ET) for water management is extrapolating instantaneous latent heat flux (LE) at satellite over-passing time to daily ET total. At present, the most commonly used extrapolation methods have the same assumption that evaporative fraction (EF) can be treated as constant during daytime (so-called EF self-preservation). However, large errors are reported by many documents over various ecosystems with the same approach, which indicates that further analysis of the diurnal pattern of EF is still necessary. The aim of this study is to examine the diurnal pattern of EF under fair weather conditions, then to analyze the dependencies of EF to meteorological and plant factors. Long-term flux observations at four sites over semi-arid and semi-humid climate regions in the northern China are used to analyze the EF diumal pattern. Results show that the EF self-preservation assumption no longer holds over growing seasons of crops. However, the ratio of reference ET to available energy is almost constant during the daytime, which implies the climate factors do not have much effect on the variability of EF. The analysis of diurnal pattern of air temperature, vapor pressure deficiency (VPD), and relative humidity (RH) confirms the assumption that ET diurnal pattern is mainly influenced by stomatal regulation.展开更多

The geometry structure, electronic spectra and NLO properties of 2,2?-bidipyrrins(L) and mono-and bimetal Ir(I)/Rh(I)–L complexes have been investigated by density functional theory method. Our calculations revealed that L with planar configuration shows the largest first hyperpolarizability value, which is 2.2 to 5.5 times larger than that of others. It is attributed to the single direction of intramolecular charge transfer. When metal ions were embedded in ligands, the first hyperpolarizability values of mono-and bimetal Ir/Rh(I)–L complexes were smaller than that of L, and that of bimetal Ir/Rh(I)–L complexes were smaller than the corresponding monometallic Ir/Rh(I)–L. This is caused by the intramolecular charge transfer from multiple directions as well as the amount of charge transfer. On the other hand, on increasing the number of metal ions, the charge transfer in the opposite direction cancels each other more obviously. Our work would provide some theoretical reference for the second-order NLO responses of mono-and bimetal complexes.展开更多
