✦ Synopsis

This article explores the context in which the policies of Chinese reforms and poverty alleviation are implemented. Drawing on data from primary and secondary sources, I examine the impact both of local government's decisions and grass-root cadres' behaviours on the rural poor. The main ideas are: (1) decentralization shapes the likelihood that a deviation of policy implementation from policy goals takes place; (2) to result in a factual misimplementation, this process must be carried through by an incorporation with the particularistic ties; and (3) in this institutionally and culturally constructed context, grass-roots level bureaucrats have intensi®ed rural poverty.

Experimental data on ground- and excited-state properties for all nuclei with mass number A=144 have been compiled and evaluated. States populated in radioactive decay as well as in nuclear reactions have been considered. For these nuclei, level and decay schemes have been built, as well as tables of nuclear properties. This work supersedes the 1989 evaluation by J.K. Tuli (1989Tu02). Manuscripts published before December 2000 have been included in this work
