Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
Southern Thailand: from conflict to negotiations?
No full textSummary: In this Analysis, University of Leeds professor Duncan McCargo argues that the recent Malaysian-backed Southern Thai peace initiative has now run into some serious problems. He argues that despite its various shortcomings the initiative is still worthy of support, since it has gained far more traction that any previous attempts to address the decade-long insurgency. Thailand needs to maintain focus on the southern conflict despite its current preoccupation with a national-level political crisis that threatens to topple the government of Yingluck Shinawatra.
Key findings
The conflict in Southern Thailand is one of Asia’s most serious insurgencies, with over 6,000 dead over the last 10 years.
The Malaysian government sponsored negotiations represents the best hope for reaching a political settlement and bringing peace to the region.
However, both sides need to show greater commitment to the negotiations, introducing new structures and procedures

Letter from H. Scott Duncan to Hayao (Sam) Chuman
No full textA letter from H. Scott Duncan Associate Executive Secretary for Finance for the American Friends Service Committee, to Hayao (Sam) Chuman. The letter thanks Hayao for his donation.The Chuman (Hayao "Sam" and Toshiko) Papers documents the World War II experiences of Hayao "Sam" and Toshiko Chuman, who were Kibei Nisei born in the United States but grew up and completed school in Japan, and then returned to the U.S. prior to the war. It chronicles the Chuman's incarceration from the Santa Anita Assembly Center, through Jerome, Rohwer, Tule Lake camps, and the Santa Fe and Crystal City internment camps as well as their struggle for restoring their U.S. citizenships in the 1960s. The digital collection consists of mostly textual material, including correspondence, affidavits, incarceration camp records, lease agreements, financial documents, receipts, pamphlets, and booklets
Interaction between cardiac and ventilatory timing during sleep
No full textCardioventilatory coupling is the temporal alignment between inspiratory onset and preceding heart beat, and is a determinant of ventilatory timing. Although investigated in anaesthetised and resting individuals, as well as animals, few studies have examined cardioventilatory coupling during sleep. This thesis aimed to further work in this area by investigating the cardioventilatory coupling during sleep.
In the first study, 30 healthy individuals (14 male; 16 female) aged 18-35 years and nine healthy individuals (4 male; 5 female) aged 60-75 years underwent a level II polysomnographic study in their own home. Cardioventilatory coupling was observed to some degree in all healthy individuals. In young adults, strength of coupling (χ2(3) = 12.71, p = 0.005) and the proportion of the night spent coupling (χ2(3) = 9.80, p = 0.02) differed significantly between wakefulness, light sleep, slow wave sleep (SWS) and REM sleep. Post hoc analyses indicated that coupling strength and the proportion of the night spent coupling during light sleep and slow wave sleep, was significantly different to that during wakefulness. Decreased strength of cardioventilatory coupling was observed with increasing time post sleep onset (Spearman, r = 0.20, p = 0.003). Cardioventilatory coupling did not differ between the young and older age groups, or with gender.
In the second study, 14 (6 male; 8 female) of these individuals aged 18-35 years underwent an additional home-based polysomnographic study, 14 days after the first study. In these individuals, both strength of cardioventilatory coupling (ICC = 0.671, p = 0.003), and proportion of the night spent coupling (ICC = 0.770, p < 0.001), were moderately repeatable from Night 1 to Night 2.
In the third study, cardioventilatory coupling was examined in 151 individuals with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Cardioventilatory coupling was observed to some degree in all but one individual with SDB. Decreased strength of coupling (Spearman, r = -0.33, p < 0.001) and decreased proportion of the night spent coupling (Spearman, r = -0.39, p < 0.001) was observed with increasing apnoea hypopnoea index. As with healthy individuals, both the strength of coupling (χ2(3) = 12.95, p = 0.005) and the proportion of the night spent coupling (χ2(3) = 19.37, p < 0.001) differed significantly between wakefulness, light sleep, SWS and REM sleep, in individuals with SDB. Coupling strength was increased during light sleep, compared to wakefulness and REM sleep.
It is concluded that cardioventilatory coupling is a phenomenon observed in most individuals during sleep, but a large degree of inter-individual variability is exhibited in strength of coupling and the proportion of the night spent coupling. In healthy individuals, coupling is observed as a moderately repeatable phenomenon from night-to-night. Increasing severity of SDB is associated with decreased cardioventilatory coupling, which may be reflective of changes in autonomic activity observed with SDB. Together, these findings have identified a number of areas for future investigation, which could provide useful insights into ventilatory control during sleep
