How to Stop Harassment: Professional Construction of Legal Compliance in Organizations
(University of Chicago Press, 2007)Most employers installed sexual harassment grievance procedures and sensitivity training by the late 1990s. It was personnel experts, not courts, legislatures, or lawyers, who promoted these antiharassment strategies, drawn ... -
How to survive a nerve-wracking journey
(eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2013)When the axons that carry signals to muscles are growing, they rely on help from Frizzled3—a protein that is known to perform a number of other important functions in cells—to reach their final destination. -
How to Think, Say, or Do Precisely the Worst Thing For Any Occasion
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2009)In slapstick comedy, the worst thing that could happen usually does: The person with a sore toe manages to stub it, sometimes twice. Such errors also arise in daily life, and research traces the tendency to do precisely ... -
How to Track Bacteria
(AIP Publishing, 1971)A microscope is described which automatically remains focused on individual motile bacteria. The container in which the bacteria are suspended is moved in such a way that the position of a given organism remains fixed; x, ... -
How Uncertainty about War Outcomes Affects War Onset
(SAGE Publications, 2014)In canonical accounts of war, conflict outcomes are inherently uncertain. Contesting literatures posit that this uncertainty, arising from stochastic elements of the war-fighting process, may induce conflict due to greater ... -
How Visual Is the Visual Cortex? Comparing Connectional and Functional Fingerprints between Congenitally Blind and Sighted Individuals
(Society for Neuroscience, 2015)Classical animal visual deprivation studies and human neuroimaging studies have shown that visual experience plays a critical role in shaping the functionality and connectivity of the visual cortex. Interestingly, recent ... -

Hst -cos Observations of Hydrogen, Helium, Carbon, and Nitrogen Emission From the Sn 1987a Reverse Shock
(American Astronomical Society, 2011)We present the most sensitive ultraviolet observations of Supernova 1987A to date. Imaging spectroscopy from the Hubble Space Telescope-Cosmic Origins Spectrograph shows many narrow (Delta upsilon similar to 300 km s(-1)) ... -
Hubble Residuals of Nearby Type Ia Supernovae Are Correlated with Host Galaxy Masses
(American Astronomical Society, 2010)From Sloan Digital Sky Survey u'g'r'i'z' imaging, we estimate the stellar masses of the host galaxies of 70 low-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia, 0.015 < z < 0.08) from the hosts' absolute luminosities and ... -
Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys Imaging of ω Centauri: Optical Counterpart for the Quiescent Low‐Mass X‐Ray Binary
(American Astronomical Society, 2004) -
Hubble Space Telescope and Ground‐based Observations of SN 1993J and SN 1998S: CNO Processing in the Progenitors
(American Astronomical Society, 2005) -
Hubble Space Telescope Detection of a Quiescent Low-Mass X-Ray Binary Companion in 47 Tucanae
(American Astronomical Society, 2001)We present the results of a search for optical counterparts to the two quiescent low-mass X-ray binaries (X5 and X7) in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, using high-quality Chandra and Hubble Space Telescope images. A faint ... -
Hubble Space Telescope Observations of Oxygen‐rich Supernova Remnants in the Magellanic Clouds. II. Elemental Abundances in N132D and 1E 0102.2−7219
(American Astronomical Society, 2000)We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 images and Faint Object Spectrograph data of two young supernova remnants in the Magellanic Clouds, N132D (LMC) and 1E 0102.2-7219 (SMC). The spectra ... -

Hubble Space Telescope Observations of the Post-Core-Collapse Globular Cluster NGC 6752: A Search for Cataclysmic Variables
(American Astronomical Society, 1996)We report the results of HST WFPC2 observations of the core of NGC 6752. We identify two candidate cataclysmic variables (CVs) from their strong narrowband H alpha emission, periodic variability, and, in one case, a UV ... -
Hubble Space Telescope Spectroscopic Observations of the Ejecta of SN 1987A at 2000 Days
(American Astronomical Society, 1996)We have used the Faint Object Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to observe the spectra of SN 1987A over the wavelength range 2000-8000 Angstrom on dates 1862 and 2210 days after the supernova outburst. Even ... -
Hubble Space Telescope Spectroscopy of Spot 1 on the Circumstellar Ring of SN 1987A
(American Astronomical Society, 2000)We present ultraviolet and optical spectra of the first bright spot (P.A. = 29 degrees) on SN 1987A's equatorial circumstellar ring taken with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph. We interpret this spot as the emission ... -

Hubble Space Telescope time-series photometry of the planetary transit of HD 189733: no moon, no rings, starspots
(EDP Sciences, 2007)We monitored three transits of the giant gas planet around the nearby K dwarf HD 189733 with the ACS camera on the Hubble Space Telescope. The resulting very-high accuracy lightcurve ( signal-to-noise ratio near 15 000 on ...
