Over the last decade, Chinese State-Owned Enterprises have emerged as among the most active investors in Mekong Basin hydropower development. This paper uses a political economy analysis to examine the forces that drive Chinese State-Owned Enterprises to invest in hydropower in the Mekong Basin. We focus our analysis on the Lancang (Upper Mekong River) in China and in the Greater Mekong Subregi...

The Message Passing Interface (MPI) can be used as a portable, high-performance programming model for wide-area computing systems. The wide-area environment introduces challenging problems for the MPI implementor, due to the heterogeneity of both the underlying physical infrastructure and the software environment at di erent sites. In this article, we describe an MPI implementation that incorpo...

The spatial imaginations of media studies and urban studies are becoming increasingly aligned, illustrated by a growing and diverse literature on what can be identified as a media-urban nexus.

We reconstruct the shared terrain in which the phenomenology of ...

The present contribution tests whether countries can be pooled when studying the financegrowth nexus. Overall, our results point toward a ‘pragmatic’ positive answer, though considerable heterogeneity is present among developing countries. JEL codes: C23, O16

In this issue of Neuron, Fischer and Ullsperger (2013) demonstrate that EEG signatures of real and fictive learning differ early in processing, but the latent information in each event converges at the temporospatial nexus commonly associated with the P3b component.

Access to reliable and affordable energy is vital for sustainable development. In the off-grid areas of developing countries, decentralized energy solutions have received increasing attention due to their contributions to reducing poverty. However, most of the rural population in many developing countries still has little or no access to modern energy technologies. This paper assesses the facto...
