Historical legacies: A model linking Africa's past to its current underdevelopment
(Elsevier BV, 2007)Recent studies have found evidence linking Africa’s current under-development to colonial rule and the slave trade. Given that these events ended long ago, why do they continue to matter today? I develop a model, exhibiting ... -
Historical Mercury Releases from Commercial Products: Global Environmental Implications
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2014)The intentional use of mercury (Hg) in products and processes (“commercial Hg”) has contributed a large and previously unquantified anthropogenic source of Hg to the global environment over the industrial era, with major ... -
Historical Selection
(American Psychological Association, 2009)This paper discusses a select list of six historical conditions, some long-lasting, some of shorter duration that have influenced the research of many psychologists. The conditions are: (a) the emergence of industrialization ... -

The history and fate of the gold standard
(Elsevier BV, 2015)For the past half-century, physicians and clinical researchers have remained confident that randomised controlled trials (RCTs) provide the most rigorous test of preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic interventions. They ... -

The History Manifesto
(Cambridge University Press, 2015)How should historians speak truth to power - and why does it matter? Why is five hundred years better than five months or five years as a planning horizon? And why is history - especially long-term history - so essential ... -

History of the Greenland Ice Sheet: paleoclimatic insights
(Elsevier, 2010)Paleoclimatic records show that the Greenland Ice Sheet consistently has lost mass in response to warming, and grown in response to cooling. Such changes have occurred even at times of slow or zero sea-level change, so ... -
History's Changing Climate: Climate Science, Genomics, and the Emerging Consilient Approach to Interdisciplinary History
(MIT Press, 2011)Consilience refers to the quality of investigations that draw conclusions from forms of evidence that are epistemologically distinct. The term seems particularly apt for conclusions produced by natural-scientific investigations ... -
Hitchhiking and Recombination in Birds: Evidence from Mhc-linked and Unlinked Loci in Red-winged Blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus)
(Cambridge University Press, 2004)Hitchhiking phenomena and genetic recombination have important consequences for a variety of fields for which birds are model species, yet we know virtually nothing about naturally occurring rates of recombination or the ... -

HIV-1 Tat second exon limits the extent of Tat-mediated modulation of interferon-stimulated genes in antigen presenting cells
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: We have shown that HIV-1 Tat interaction with MAP2K3, MAP2K6, and IRF7 promoters is key to IFN-stimulated genes (ISG) activation in immature dendritic cells and macrophages. Results: We evaluated how Tat alleles ... -
[(HL)2Fe6(NCMe)m]n+ (m = 0, 2, 4, 6; n = −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6): An Electron-Transfer Series Featuring Octahedral Fe6 Clusters Supported by a Hexaamide Ligand Platform
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2011)Using a trinucleating hexaamide ligand platform, the all-ferrous hexanuclear cluster (HL)2Fe6 (1) is obtained from reaction of 3 equiv of Fe2(Mes)4 (Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2) with 2 equiv of the ligand (HL)H6. Compound 1 was ... -
HNC in Protoplanetary Disks
(IOP Publishing, 2015)The distributions and abundances of small organics in protoplanetary disks are potentially powerful probes of disk physics and chemistry. HNC is a common probe of dense interstellar regions and the target of this study. ... -
The HNC/HCN Ratio in Star-Forming Regions
(IOP Publishing, 2014)HNC and HCN, typically used as dense gas tracers in molecular clouds, are a pair of isomers that have great potential as a temperature probe because of temperature dependent, isomer-specific formation and destruction ... -
