Based on statistical processing of ~6100 sample averages (from ~190,000 analyses), new estimations of World averages (Clarke values) for Р<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>, % (and P, %), phosphorus-titanium module (P<sub>2</sub>О<sub>5</sub>/TiO<sub>2</sub>), phosphorus-calcium module (P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>/CaO), phosphorus-iron module (P<sub>2</sub>О<sub>5</sub>/Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>), and phosphorus-total iron module (P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>/Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> + FeO). Many estimates have been made for the first time. In addition to the new Clarke estimates, sometimes very different from previous ones, the work carried out has led to a number of new conclusions. In particular, the titanium geochemical barrier for phosphorus has been first estimated, all the 11 genotypes of phosphogenesis have been named and characterized, five genetic correlations of phosphogenesis have been described, lithochemistry methods have been successfully applied to characterize the phosphorites. Due to the large breadth of generalization, the monograph has a large theoretical and applied value.展开更多

文摘This paper is concerned with the relationship between beliefs and economic performance and explains the differences of country performance in global economic growth over the past two decades based on the composite belief index comprising the beliefs on trust,social justice,competition and work-leisure.By influencing personal motivations,beliefs shape society and the institutions and policies of a country in the form of collective ideology.Beliefs demonstrate great differences across countries and change with time,which helps explain the country and intertemporal differences of growth.This paper also found that China s composite belief index is very high,which helps explain China's economic growth miracle.
