The Life and Letters of William Sharp and "Fiona Macleod"
No full text"William Sharp (1855-1905) conducted one of the most audacious literary deceptions of his or any time. Sharp was a Scottish poet, novelist, biographer and editor who in 1893 began to write critically and commercially successful books under the name Fiona Macleod. This was far more than just a pseudonym: he corresponded as Macleod, enlisting his sister to provide the handwriting and address, and for more than a decade ""Fiona Macleod"" duped not only the general public but such literary luminaries as William Butler Yeats and, in America, E. C. Stedman.
Sharp wrote ""I feel another self within me now more than ever; it is as if I were possessed by a spirit who must speak out"". This three-volume collection brings together Sharp’s own correspondence – a fascinating trove in its own right, by a Victorian man of letters who was on intimate terms with writers including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Walter Pater, and George Meredith – and the Fiona Macleod letters, which bring to life Sharp’s intriguing ""second self"".
With an introduction and detailed notes by William F. Halloran, this richly rewarding collection offers a wonderful insight into the literary landscape of the time, while also investigating a strange and underappreciated phenomenon of late-nineteenth-century English literature. It is essential for scholars of the period, and it is an illuminating read for anyone interested in authorship and identity.

Interaction Design: Beyond Human-Computer Interaction
No full textAccomplished authors, Preece, Rogers and Sharp, have written a key new textbook on this core subject area. Interaction Design deals with a broad scope of issues, topics and paradigms that has traditionally been the scope of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Interaction Design (ID). The book covers psychological and social aspects of users, interaction styles, user requirements, design approaches, usability and evaluation, traditional and future interface paradigms and the role of theory in informing design. The topics will be grounded in the design process and the aim is to present relevant issues in an integrated and coherent way, rather than assembling a collection of chapters on individual HCI topics.KEY FEATURES: This truly integrated approach to HCI provides students with background information from psychology, sociology, anthropology, information systems and computer science provides principles and skills for designing any technology through the use of many interesting and state of the art examples. The author supported, highly interactive Web Site provides resources that allow students to collaborate on experiments, participate in design competitions, collaborate on design, find resources and communicate with others. The accompanying Web Site also features examples, step-by-step exercises and templates for questionnaires

Choi-Kain, M.D., M.Ed., Carla Sharp, Ph.D."Handbook of Good Psychiatric Management for Adolescents With Borderline Personality Disorder uses good psychiatric management for adolescents to demystify borderline personality disorder in young people. The book describes common problems that arise during each phase or aspect of treatment, from patient rejection of diagnosis and conflicts among clinicians providing care to nonadherence to medications and concerns about stigma. The pragmatic principles outlined in this book are based on real-world experience and bolstered by scientific evidence and provide a road map to provide "good enough" care even in the absence of specialized treatments"-

Sharp affine stability estimates for Hammer's problem
No full textWe prove that the area distance between two convex bodies K and K'
with the same parallel X-rays in a set of n mutually non parallel directions is bounded from above by the area of their intersection, times a constant depending only on n. Equality holds if and only if K is a regular n-gon, and K' is K rotated by π/n about its center, up to affine transformations. This and similar sharp affine invariant inequalities lead to stability estimates for Hammer’s problem if the n directions are known up to an error, or in case X-rays
emanating from n collinear points are considered. For n = 4, the order of these estimates is compared with the cross ratio of given directions and given points, respectively
Experiential avoidance differences in adolescents with borderline personality disorder: comparison with psychiatric and healthy controls
No full textExperiential avoidance (EA) refers to the “unwillingness to remain in contact with uncomfortable private events by escaping or avoiding these experiences” (Hayes et al., 1996). In particular, EA seems to be linked to BPD. Recent studies have shown that borderline personality disorder (BPD) in adolescence is a valid diagnosis (Miller, Muehlenkamp, Jacobson, 2008; Sharp, Romero, 2007). BPD is defined as serious psychiatric disorder characterized by impulsivity, instability in mood and identity, and impaired personal relationships (APA, 2000; APA, 2013). To our knowledge, this was the first study to examine EA in adolescents with BPD to psychiatric control adolescents and healthy controls simultaneously and to examine the unique association between BPD and EA over and above internalizing and externalizing problems. Results found that adolescents with BPD reported higher levels of experiential avoidance than the psychiatric and healthy control groups. In addition, results showed that BPD symptoms were uniquely related to experiential avoidance over and above the association between EA and internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Results suggest that EA is a crosscutting psychological factor but has specific associations with BPD over and above internalizing and externalizing problems.Honors CollegePsychology, Department o
