This is the institutional repository for peer reviewed articles published in open access and doctoral dissertations by the Agricultural University of Iceland, the Iceland Academy of the Arts, the National and University Library of Iceland, Reykjavik University, the University of Akureyri, Bifröst University, Hólar University College and the University of Iceland. Open access to research results is in accordance with article 10 from the Act on public support for research / 2003 No 3 and is compliant with requirements from international and domestic research fund programs. The purpose of the Open Science repository is to make results of research conducted at Icelandic universities accessible to the public online without hindrance or charge. Deposits to the repository are permanent and are intended to ensure future access to all published scientific material of the Icelandic research community. By collecting this material together in one collection access is made simple and easy for anyone who wishes to study the considerable scientific work conducted in Iceland.

The repository is OpenAIRE / OpenAIREplus compliant and in accordance with requirements for publication of research results from projects supported by the European research programs FP7 and H2020.

The repository uses the open software DSpace.

    Falling toward charged black holes 
    Brown, Adam R.; Gharibyan, Hrant; Streicher, Alexandre; Susskind, Leonard; Thorlacius, Larus; Zhao, Ying (American Physical Society (APS), 2018-12-28)
    The growth of the “size” of operators is an important diagnostic of quantum chaos. Susskind conjectured that the holographic dual of the size is proportional to the average radial component of the momentum of the particle created by the operator. Thus ...

    Impurities and current efficiency in aluminum electrolysis 
    Meirbekova, Rauan (2016-02)
    Current efficiency loss in aluminum electrolysis happens due to a variety of factors. One such factor is the presence of impurities. Concerns about impurities have been voiced since the quality of raw materials has declined and dry-scrubbers were ...

    Space-charge dynamics in microdiodes 
    Ilkov, Marjan (2016-02)
    Space-charge limited emission in vacuum microdiodes can go through transverse modulation under certain conditions. The frequency of this modulated current is in the terahertz band and it can be tuned by changing either the the gap spacing or the gap ...

    Assessing relative permeabilities in geothermal reservoirs using theoretical relations, laboratory measurements and field data 
    Guðjónsdóttir, María Sigríður (2016-01)
    Liquid dominated reservoirs are a common type of hydrothermal reservoirs. They consist of fractured rock and reservoir fluid which may obey Darcy’s law. Steam can form in such reservoirs either through heat input which causes temperature increase or ...

    The impact of vaccination with conjugated pneumococcal vaccine on pneumococcal carriage and disease caused by pneumococci in Icelandic children 
    Sigurdsson, Samuel (University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, 2018-12)
    Pneumococci are commonly carried asymptomatically in the nasopharynx, especially in children. Pneumococci are also one of the major bacterial pathogens causing both severe infections and non-severe infections in both children and adults. The most severe ...
