Indonesia Agricultural Transformation: How Far? Where Would It Go?

Simulating Refugee Movements: Where Would You Go?

The challenge of understanding refugee movements is huge and affects countries worldwide on a daily basis. Yet, in terms of simulation, the challenge appears to have been largely ignored. I argue that we as researchers can, and should, harness our computational skills to better understand and predict refugee movements. I reflect on the computational challenges of modelling refugees, and present...

It matters where you go

a r t i c l e i n f o How does outward foreign direct investment (FDI) affect employment growth of the multinational corporations (MNCs) in the home country? Does the impact of outward investment differ by the level of development of the destination country of the FDI? Using a difference-indifference approach, we assess the impact of starting to invest in less-advanced countries compared with i...

Colloidal Silver: Where Does It Go When You Drink It? How Long Does It Stay There?

Where should the IOL go when it does not go where it should?

hroughout the latter half of the twentieth century, a series of disruptive innovations and hotly debated issues resulted in general consensus for standard cataract surgery and agreement on the ideal anatomic location for intraocular lenses (IOL); namely, within the capsular bag. Sir Harold Ridley envisioned this outcome from the inception of the IOL, stating “...the site for the prosthesis shou...

The Standard Model: how far can it go and how can we tell?

The Standard Model of particle physics encapsulates our current best understanding of physics at the smallest distances and highest energies. It incorporates quantum electrodynamics (the quantized version of Maxwell's electromagnetism) and the weak and strong interactions, and has survived unmodified for decades, save for the inclusion of non-zero neutrino masses after the observation of neutri...
