    The sharp A(p) constant for weights in a reverse-Holder class

    No full text
    Coifman 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

    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 text
    Sharp 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
