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.

Physiological sharp wave-ripples and interictal events in vitro: What’s the difference?
No full textSharp wave-ripples and interictal events are physiological and pathological forms of transient high activity
in the hippocampus with similar features. Sharp wave-ripples have been shown to be essential in memory
consolidation, while epileptiform (interictal) events are thought to be damaging. It is essential to grasp the
difference between physiological sharp wave-ripples and pathological interictal events in order to
understand the failure of control mechanisms in the latter case. We investigated the dynamics of activity
generated intrinsically in the CA3 region of the mouse hippocampus in vitro, using four different types of
intervention to induce epiletiform activity. As a result, sharp wave-ripples spontaneously occurring in CA3
disappeared, and following an asynchronous transitory phase, activity reorganized into a new form of
pathological synchrony. During epileptiform events, all neurons increased their firing rate compared to sharp
wave-ripples. Different cell types showed complementary firing: parvalbumin-positive basket cells and
some axo-axonic cells stopped firing due to a depolarization block at the climax of the events in high
potassium, 4-aminopyridine and zero magnesium models, but not in the gabazine model. In contrast,
pyramidal cells started firing maximally at this stage. To understand the underlying mechanism we
measured changes of intrinsic neuronal and transmission parameters in the high potassium model. We found
that the cellular excitability increased and excitatory transmission was enhanced, whereas inhibitory
transmission was compromised. We observed a strong short-term depression in parvalbumin-positive basket
cell to pyramidal cell transmission. Thus, the collapse of pyramidal cell perisomatic inhibition appears to be
a crucial factor in the emergence of epileptiform events
Cousins & Sharp $1.00 (one dollar) private scrip
No full textThis private scrip was issued in Tyler by Cousins & Sharp. The note is printed in red ink and green ink on the verso of a bank draft. A plain line borders all edges of the note. An ornate design comprises the left border of the note; the word ''ONE'' is overprinted in red ink across the border. The word ''ONE'' is printed in red ink towards the upper-left and upper-right corners. The amount ''$1'' is printed towards the lower-left corner in green ink. The place and year, 1862, are printed along the top-edge of the note; the month and day are handwritten. The phrase ''COUSINS & SHARP,'' is printed across the face of the note in green ink; the phrase ''ONE DOLLAR'' is printed beneath it twice, once in red ink and once in green ink. The note is signed on the recto by Jesse F. Rasbury. Rasbury, a native of North Carolina, is listed in the 1860 Census as a merchant; he was also appointed county judge by the military government of Texas in 1867 and was elected the Tyler postmaster in 1872 (1868 Texas Almanac; John Wheat's Postmasters & Post Offices of Texas, 1846- 1930). The phrase ''Cousins & Sharp'' is also handwritten vertically across the recto of the note; additional illegible writing appears below it.J F Rasbury; Cousins & Sharp; [illegible
The sharp A(p) constant for weights in a reverse-Holder class
No full textCoifman and Fefferman established that the class of Muckenhoupt weights is equivalent to the class of weights satisfying the "reverse Holder inequality". In a recent paper V. Vasyunin [17] presented a proof of the reverse Holder inequality with sharp constants for the weights satisfying the usual Muckenhoupt condition. In this paper we present the inverse, that is, we use the Bellman function technique to find the sharp A(p) constants for weights in a reverse-Holder class on an interval; we also find the sharp constants for the higher-integrability result of Gehring [7].Additionally, we find sharp bounds for the A(p) constants of reverse-Holder-class weights defined on rectangles in R-n, as well as bounds on the A(p) constants for reverse-Holder weights defined on cubes in R-n, without claiming the sharpness.</p
