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

Tom Duncan on the Appalachian Trail
No full textThis photograph is of Tom Duncan along the "class A" trail between Jump Off and Newfound Gap. The image is in the collection of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club, formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. Enjoying the spectacular views, the group returned to establish a formal hiking club to sponsor hikes into the Great Smoky Mountains. Formally established in Knoxville, Tennessee, the first official club hike was led by Dutch Roth in December 1924. An employee of the Southern Railroad, Albert Gordon "Dutch" Roth (1890-1974) was an avid photographer. Hiking most weekends, Roth carried a Kodak camera and sometimes brought along a heavy tripod. His photographs capture long distance views of the Great Smoky Mountains and document the early activities of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club. Stamp on the back of photograph: Jim Thompson Co
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
Cohort size and labour-market outcomes
No full textHow does the size of young age cohorts affect the labour-market outcomes of these groups? Employing different microeconometric methods in an empirical analysis at the regional level, Duncan Roth addresses this question in the four essays contained in this book. The analysis deals with the effects on wages, employment and unemployment as well as the duration of search for employment following labour-market entry. Each chapter contributes to the extant literature by focussing on issues that, in the opinion of the author, have so far been insufficiently dealt with.Welche Auswirkungen hat die Größe junger Alterskohorten auf die Arbeitsmarktergebnisse dieser Gruppen? In vier Essays untersucht Duncan Roth diesen Zusammenhang auf regionaler Ebene mittels verschiedener mikroökonometrischer Methoden. Betrachtet werden die Löhne, die Höhe von Beschäftigung und Arbeitslosigkeit sowie die Dauer bis zur ersten Beschäftigung nach dem Eintritt in den Arbeitsmarkt. Die einzelnen Komponenten der Arbeit bauen auf dem aktuellen Stand der Literatur auf und behandeln verschiedene Aspekte, die aus Sicht des Autors bisher nicht ausreichend adressiert worden sind
