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.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
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

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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
