Harnessing energy from marine productivity using bioelectrochemical systems
(Elsevier BV, 2010)Over the past decade, studies have shown that devices called microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can harness electricity from microbially mediated degradation of organic carbon, in both lab cultures and natural environments. Other ... -
Harnessing Evolutionary Fitness in Plasmodium falciparum for Drug Discovery and Suppressing Resistance
(2013-10-18)Malaria is a preventable and treatable disease caused by infection with Plasmodium parasites. Complex socioeconomic and political factors limit access to vector control and antimalarial drugs, and an estimated 600,000 ... -
Harnessing evolutionary fitness in Plasmodium falciparum for drug discovery and suppressing resistance
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013)Drug resistance emerges in an ecological context where fitness costs restrict the diversity of escape pathways. These pathways are targets for drug discovery, and here we demonstrate that we can identify small-molecule ... -
Harnessing fluid-structure interactions to design self-regulating acoustic metamaterials
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2014)The design of phononic crystals and acoustic metamaterials with tunable and adaptive wave properties remains one of the outstanding challenges for the development of next generation acoustic devices. We report on the ... -
Harnessing Geometric Frustration to Form Band Gaps in Acoustic Channel Lattices

Harnessing non-specialist providers to promote social-emotional learning for youths in summer camp: Findings from two pilot studies
(2023-09-08)Despite substantial efforts to address youth mental health challenges, overall rates of youth mental illness persist, especially among racial and ethnic minority youths. This problem is exacerbated by limited access to ... -
HARPS-N Observes the Sun as a Star
(IOP Publishing, 2015)Radial velocity (RV) perturbations induced by stellar surface inhomogeneities including spots, plages and granules currently limit the detection of Earth-twins using Doppler spectroscopy. Such stellar noise is poorly ... -
The HARPS-N Rocky Planet Search
(EDP Sciences, 2015)We know now from radial velocity surveys and transit space missions that planets only a few times more massive than our Earth are frequent around solar-type stars. Fundamental questions about their formation history, ... -
Harry Potter and the Master of Death
For decades, the Harry Potter series has provided its global readers with essential life-lessons some may use throughout their lifetime, showing the series is more than just a handful of books, it’s a way of life. Across ... -
HarTAC– The Harvard TAC SCM'03 Agent
(2004)The Trading Agent Competition (TAC) is an annual event in which teams from around the world compete in a given scenario concerning the trading agent problem. This paper describes some of the key features and strategies ... -
Hartle-Hawking Vacuum for c=1 Tachyon Condensation
(Springer Verlag, 2004)Quantum vacua are constructed for a time-symmetric cosmology describing closed string tachyon condensation in two-dimensional string theory. Due to the euclidean periodicity of the solution, and despite its time dependence, ... -
Hartle–Hawking Wave-Function for Flux Compactifications: the Entropic Principle
(Springer (part of Springer Nature), 2005)We argue that the topological string partition function, which has been known to correspond to a wave-function, can be interpreted as an exact "wave-function of the universe" in the mini-superspace sector of physical ... -
Hartree-Fock calculations of a finite inhomogeneous quantum wire
(The American Physical Society, 2008)We use the Hartree-Fock method to study an interacting one-dimensional electron system on a finite wire, partially depleted at the center by a smooth potential barrier. A uniform 1 T Zeeman field is applied throughout the ... -
The Harvard Clean Energy Project: Large-Scale Computational Screening and Design of Organic Photovoltaics on the World Community Grid
(American Chemical Society, 2011)This Perspective introduces the Harvard Clean Energy Project (CEP), a theory-driven search for the next generation of organic solar cell materials. We give a broad overview of its setup and infrastructure, present first ... -
Harvard Designers for the Theatre: An Exhibition by the Harvard Theatre Collection, April 16 – August 31, 2002

Harvard Forest regional-scale air mass composition by Patterns in Atmospheric Transport History (PATH)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1998)We calculated 4 years (1990–1993) of back trajectories arriving at Harvard Forest and used them to define patterns in atmospheric transport history. This information was used to assess the degree to which regional-scale ... -
The Harvard organic photovoltaic dataset
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)The Harvard Organic Photovoltaic Dataset (HOPV15) presented in this work is a collation of experimental photovoltaic data from the literature, and corresponding quantum-chemical calculations performed over a range of ... -
Harvard Revisited: Geography's Return as GIS
(Taylor & Francis, 2009) -
Harvesting renewable energy from Earth’s mid-infrared emissions
(National Academy of Sciences, 2014)It is possible to harvest energy from Earth's thermal infrared emission into outer space. We calculate the thermodynamic limit for the amount of power available, and as a case study, we plot how this limit varies daily and ... -
Hate crime towards minoritized groups increases as they increase in sized-based rank
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-08-08)People are on the move in unprecedented numbers within and between countries. How does demographic change affect local intergroup dynamics? In complement to accounts that emphasize stereotypical features of groups as ...
