Yet over the next three centuries, the United States gradually pulled away, and today the gap is huge. Why did this happen? Was it culture? Geography? Economic policies? Natural resources? Differences in political development? The question has occupied policymakers and scholars for decades, and the debate remains intense. In Falling Behind, Francis Fukuyama, acclaimed author of The End of History and America at the Crossroads, gathers together some of the world's leading scholars on the subject to explain th 607 $aLatin America$xEconomic policy$vCongresses 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic conditions$vCongresses 607 $aLatin America$xForeign economic relations$zUnited States$vCongresses 607 $aUnited States$xForeign economic relations$zLatin America$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a338.98 701 $aFukuyama$b Francis$0231601 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453364703321 996 $aFalling behind$92169094 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05289nam 2200601 450 001 9910786609403321 005 20230803203449.0 010 $a3-03826-540-3 035 $a(CKB)3710000000168279 035 $a(EBL)1910853 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001336765 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11994156 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001336765 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11302252 035 $a(PQKB)10795313 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1910853 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1910853 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10895087 035 $a(OCoLC)889266092 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000168279 100 $a20140723h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAdvanced materials and engineering $eselected, peer reviewed papers from the Annual International Conference on Intelligent Materials and Nanomaterials (AIMN 14), April 18-19, 2014, Seoul, South Korea /$fedited by Taufiq Yap Yun Hin 210 1$aZurich, Switzerland :$cTTP,$d2014. 210 4$dİ2014 215 $a1 online resource (463 p.) 225 1 $aAdvanced Materials Research,$x1662-8985 ;$vVolume 983 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a3-03835-157-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and indexes. 327 $aAdvanced Materials and Engineering; Preface and Committtess; Table of Contents; Chapter 1: Advanced Materials, Technologies and Applications; Gangue as Flame Retardants for Flexible Poly(Vinyl Chloride); Novel Thermo Thickening Smart Gel with Interpenetrating Polymer and Surfactant Network; Smart and Robust Composite Tube Columns Frames for Offshore Sub-Structure Construction; The Research Process and Application Prospect of the Smart Piezoelectric Materials; Reusable and Efficient Polystryrene-Supported Acidic Ionic Liquid Catalyst for the Synthesis of n-Butyl Acetate 327 $aAn Exploration of Factors Affecting the Preparation of SiO2-Coated ?-Al2O3 Pearlescent PigmentAssessment of Engineering Properties of Geosynthetics with Seaming Methods; Comparative Study of Physico-Chemical Properties of Pure Polyurethane and Polyurethane Based on Castor Oil; Temperature Effects and pH Value on Free Swell Behaviors of Bentonite Solutions; The Thermal Properties of Unsaturated Polyester Resin Treated with Intumescent Flame Retardants; Chapter 2: Nanomaterials and Nanotechnologies 327 $aMicrostructure of Gold Nano-Crystals from Nanometer to Micrometer Lengthscale in Gold Bulk Metallic GlassNanotechnology and Earth Construction: The Mechanical Properties of Adobe Brick Stabilized by Laponite Nanoparticles; On Optimal Planning for DNA Nanomechanical Robots; Preparation of Nano Ni2P/TiO2-Al2O3 Catalyst and Catalytic Activity for Hydrodesulfurization; Study on the Nanoemulsion Formulation of Piceatannol and In Vitro Release; The Green Preparation of Nano-Silver Particle by Reductive Polysaccharide 327 $aHybrid Microstructures on Si Surface Formed by Nanosecond Pulse Laser for Broadband AntireflectionComputer Aided Simulation and Prototype Experiment on Nanocoated Products; Influence of Injection Conditions on the Mechanical Property of MWCNTs/ PC Nanocomposites; Nanomechanical Properties of Core-Shell Structured Ni@NiO Nanoparticles Reinforced Epoxy Nanocomposites; Chapter 3: Composites and Alloys; Effect of Injection Conditions on the Electrical Conductivity of MWCNTs/PC Conductive Composites; Influence of Casting Method and Heat Treatment for Corrosion Resistance of Magnesium Alloy AZ91D 327 $aLow Temperature Oxidation Behaviors of CNTs/MoSi2 CompositesMicrosegregation Behavior of Single Crystal Superalloy; Modeling the Correlation between Microstructure and Tensile Properties of Ti-17 Alloy Using Artificial Neural Network; One Step Fabrication of Core-Shell Structures in Immiscible Alloys for Thermal Energy Storage; Surface Modification of Titanium Alloys Using Alumina Particles Blasting for Biomedical Applications; Technique Research on High Strength Low Alloy Structural Steel Used in Semi-Rigid Guardrail 327 $aThe Effect of Co/Pd MgO Supported Catalyst Calcination Temperature on the Yield and Morphology of CNTs via Methane Decomposition 330 $aCollection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the Annual International Conference on Intelligent Materials and Nanomaterials (AIMN 14), April 18-19, 2014, Seoul, South Korea.
