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 George Duncan to Thomas Rotch, Bainbridge, August 14, 1820
No full textA three page letter 8" x 10.1/4"(20.5cm x 25.5cm) from George Duncan, a fugitive slave who was given refuge in Thomas Rotch's Springhill home, a stop on the Underground Railroad. After leaving Kendal, Duncan informs Rotch that he arrived safely in Geauga County on his way to Canada and is being well-treated by avowed enemies of slavery. He asks Rotch's help in finding Edy, his wife and protecting her from S. Spriggs, a known slavecatcher. Duncan offers suggestions for an alternative route to Bainbridge to avoid Spriggs. He asks Rotch not to mention any of this letter to anyone. According to Dr. Roy E. Finkenbine (Ohio History, 2016. Issue 1), West Liberty to which Duncan refers is in West Virginia north of Wheeling; fugitive slaves followed that route across the Ohio River to Quaker Communities in Mt Pleasant, St Clairsville, Ohio, then went northeastward to Massillon, then to Lake northward where by 1820 vessels carried fugitives to Canada and usually southwestern Ontario. Samuel Spriggs was a lawyer, landowner, important figure in early Wheeling and probably Duncan's owner. Martin Kents in Suffield is Martin Kent, a Quaker farmer; Elihu L Kent in another Quaker farmer in Bainbridge who was also active in the Ohio Underground Railroad network. John Braydays is probably John Brady in West Liberty
