Humans choose representatives who enforce cooperation in social dilemmas through extortion
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Social dilemmas force players to balance between personal and collective gain. In many dilemmas, such as elected governments negotiating climate-change mitigation measures, the decisions are made not by individual players ... -
Humans use a unique mechanism to stabilize the head during running
(Oxford University Press, 2006)Mammals must stabilize the head during running to keep angular accelerations of head within the operating range of the vestibulo-ocular (VOR) reflexes. However, several unique aspects of the human body plan and locomotor ... -
Humblebragging: A Distinct – and Ineffective – Self-Presentation Strategy
(2015-04-24)Humblebragging – bragging masked by a complaint – is a distinct and, given the rise of social media, increasingly ubiquitous form of self-promotion. We show that although people often choose to humblebrag when motivated ... -
Hummingbird flight
(Elsevier BV, 2012)Hummingbirds are very distinctive in their form and behavior, the evolution of which is tightly connected to the evolution of their primary source of energy — floral nectar. About forty million years ago, the practical use ... -
Humor as Epiphanic Awareness and Attempted Self-Transcendence
(2015-02-03)The starting premise of this dissertation is that the formal techniques of comedy make the comic novel a distinct form within the category of the novel, not just in terms of content, the way one novelistic genre is distinct ... -
Humoral Immune Pressure Selects for HIV-1 CXC-chemokine Receptor 4-using Variants
(Elsevier, 2016)Although both C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5)- and CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4)-using HIV-1 strains cause AIDS, the emergence of CXCR4-utilizing variants is associated with an accelerated decline in CD4 + T cells. It ... -

Hunger in America: A History of Public and Private Responses
(2004)This paper surveys the variety of public and private hunger relief programs in America, reviewing the history of these programs in order to enable an informed analysis of their effectiveness in fighting domestic hunger. -
Hunger in Conflict: A Quantitative Analysis of the Effects of Armed Conflict on Food Security in West Africa and Afghanistan
(2022-09-21)Half of the world’s undernourished population lives in a country experiencing armed conflict or violence (FAO, 2021). As the main driver of food insecurity, conflict has pushed some 99.1 million people into acute food ... -

Huntingtin Facilitates Polycomb Repressive Complex 2
(Oxford University Press, 2009)Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by expansion of the polymorphic polyglutamine segment in the huntingtin protein. Full-length huntingtin is thought to be a predominant HEAT repeat α-solenoid, implying a role as a ... -
Huntingtin Modulates Transcription, Occupies Gene Promoters In Vivo, and Binds Directly to DNA in a Polyglutamine-Dependent Manner
(Society for Neuroscience, 2008)Transcriptional dysregulation is a central pathogenic mechanism in Huntington's disease, a fatal neurodegenerative disorder associated with polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion in the huntingtin (Htt) protein. In this study, ... -
Huntingtin’s spherical solenoid structure enables polyglutamine tract-dependent modulation of its structure and function
(eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2016)The polyglutamine expansion in huntingtin protein causes Huntington’s disease. Here, we investigated structural and biochemical properties of huntingtin and the effect of the polyglutamine expansion using various biophysical ... -
HURP Permits MTOC Sorting for Robust Meiotic Spindle Bipolarity, Similar to Extra Centrosome Clustering in Cancer Cells
(Rockefeller University Press, 2010)In contrast to somatic cells, formation of acentriolar meiotic spindles relies on the organization of microtubules (MTs) and MT-organizing centers (MTOCs) into a stable bipolar structure. The underlying mechanisms are still ... -
