(Springer Nature, 2017-04-28)HapMap imputed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed >50 loci at which common variants with minor allele frequency >5% are associated with kidney function. GWAS using more complete reference sets for imputation, such as those from The ... -
(Springer Nature, 2017-04-25)Several copy number variants have been associated with neuropsychiatric disorders and these variants have been shown to also influence cognitive abilities in carriers unaffected by psychiatric disorders. Previously, we associated the 15q11.2(BP1–BP2) ...

(The Seismological Society of America, 1993)We have mapped in detail surface ruptures of the 1912 magnitude 7.0 strike-slip earthquake in south Iceland. This earthquake ruptured fresh basalt flows that had covered the pre-existing fault. The observed style of surface fracturing closely matches ...

(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2020-04-29)The purpose of this thesis is to employ remote sensing to study lava flow products during the 2014-2015 eruption at Holuhraun, Iceland. Multimodal remote sensing techniques and datasets were applied and developed for three study themes (1) deriving ...

(American Astronomical Society, 2018-06-18)The ultraviolet (UV) extinction feature at 2175 Å is ubiquitously observed in the Galaxy but is rarely detected at high redshifts. Here we report the spectroscopic detection of the 2175 Å bump on the sightline to the γ-ray burst (GRB) afterglow GRB ...

2-Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin Aggregates: Identification and Development of Analytical Techniques (MDPI AG, 2018-10-13)It is extremely important for pharmaceutical formulators to have analytical methodology that provides efficient detection and quantification of HPβCD aggregates. Five different methods were then evaluated for their potential to detect these aggregates ...

(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-12-16)Background: Recently we proposed an evolutionary explanation for a spinal pathology that afflicts many people, intervertebral disc herniation (Plomp et al. [2015] BMC Evolutionary Biology 15, 68). Using 2D data, we found that the bodies and pedicles ...
-
(Frontiers Media SA, 2019-01-09)High latitude dust is an important contributor to the global dust cycle, which affects the radiative balance of the atmosphere. The frequency and severity of dust events are driven by variables such as wind speed, precipitation, temperature, surface ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2018-11-08)An UPLC-qTOF-MS-based dereplication study led to the targeted isolation of seven bromoindole alkaloids from the sub-Arctic sponge Geodia barretti. This includes three new metabolites, namely geobarrettin A–C (1–3) and four known compounds, barettin ...
-
(Informa UK Limited, 2019-01-02)Purpose: All types of surgery are associated with complications. The debate is ongoing whether robot-assisted radical prostatectomy can lower this risk compared to open surgery. The objective of the present study was to evaluate post-operative adverse ...
-
(European Association of Geochemistry, 2019-07-29)Abiotic formation of n-alkane hydrocarbons has been postulated to occur within Earth's crust. Apparent evidence was primarily based on uncommon carbon and hydrogen isotope distribution patterns that set methane and its higher chain homologues apart ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Education, Faculty of Education and Diversity, 2024-12-06)Several factors render disabled people disproportionately affected in times of disaster. Research shows that they are often overlooked in emergency responses and that general aid and support to the public are often inaccessible or do not meet their ...

ABO blood group does not impact incidence or outcomes of surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (Informa UK Limited, 2019-10-23)Objectives. To evaluate the distribution and impact of ABO blood groups on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). Design. A total of 1144 surgical ATAAD patients from eight Nordic centres ...

(Agricultural University of Iceland, 2019)The only native tree species in Iceland forming woodland is the mountain birch. Since human settlement in the 9th century AD, natural birch woodlands have decreased from around 28% to 1.5% of the terrestrial area. In this paper we estimated and compared ...
-
(Félagsfræðingafélags Íslands, 2017)In the Icelandic local government election in 2014 turnout was lower than ever before, and four years earlier it had already decreased considerably. In this article, the authors examine abstainers’ personal reasoning for not casting a vote. Using survey ...

The academic–vocational divide in three Nordic countries: implications for social class and gender (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-02)In this study we examine how the academic–vocational divide is manifested today in Finland, Iceland and Sweden in the division between vocationally (VET) and academicallyoriented programmes at the upper-secondary school level. The paper is based on a ...

(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-04-13)The paper proposes a novel framework for accelerated re-design (dimension scaling) of antenna structures using inverse surrogates. The major contribution of the work is a sensitivity-based model identification procedure, which permits a significant ...
