  • Benediktsson, Bardi; Þórhallsson, Albert Þ.; Bjornsson, Ragnar (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2018)
    A new 1.2 Å crystal structure of vanadium nitrogenase, isolated under turnover conditions, recently revealed a light atom ligand (OH or NH) replacing the bridging S2B sulfide of the FeV cofactor. QM/MM calculations on the new structure now reveal the ...
  • Benediktsson, Bardi; Bjornsson, Ragnar (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2017-10-20)
    Nitrogenase is one of the most fascinating enzymes in nature, being responsible for all biological nitrogen reduction. Despite decades of research, it is among the enzymes in bioinorganic chemistry whose mechanism is the most poorly understood. The ...
  • Davis, Stephen M.; Davidov, Danielle; Kristjansson, Alfgeir; Zullig, Keith; Baus, Adam; Fisher, Melanie (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018-10-12)
    Background The Central Appalachian region of the United States is in the midst of a hepatitis C virus epidemic driven by injection of opioids, particularly heroin, with contaminated syringes. In response to this epidemic, several needle exchange ...
  • Sigurjónsson, Jóhann Örn (University of Iceland, School of Education, Faculty of Education and Pedagogy, 2023-01)
    The doctoral research project underpinning this dissertation was aimed at developing a deeper understanding of cognitive activation in mathematics teaching in Iceland and in a Nordic context through classroom video observations and student perceptions. ...
  • Hempenius, Mirjam; Luijken, Kim; Boer, Anthonius; Klungel, Olaf; Groenwold, Rolf; Gardarsdottir, Helga (Wiley, 2020-05-11)
    Purpose: Exposure definitions vary across pharmacoepidemiological studies. Therefore, transparent reporting of exposure definitions is important for interpretation of published study results. We aimed to assess the quality of reporting of exposure to ...
  • Dürig, Tobias; Guðmundsson, Magnús T.; Dioguardi, Fabio; Schmidt, Louise Steffensen (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2023-01-13)
    The considerable effects that wind can have on estimates of mass eruption rates (MERs) in explosive eruptions based on volcanic plume height are well known but difficult to quantify rigorously. Many explicitly wind-affected plume models have the ...

    Osteoarthritis is an increasingly important health problem for which the main treatment remains joint replacement. Therapy developments have been hampered by a lack of biomarkers that can reliably predict disease, while 2D radiographs interpreted by ...
  • Árnadóttir, Íris Dröfn; Piccione, Francesco; Gargiulo, Paolo; Edmunds, Kyle; Magnús Gíslason; Marcante, Andrea (Pagepress Publ, Meditgroup, 2016)
    Medical imaging is of particular interest in the field of translational myology, as extant literature describes the utilization of a wide variety of techniques to non-invasively recapitulate and quantity various internal and external tissue morphologies. ...

    Do human societies from around the world exhibit similarities in the way that they are structured, and show commonalities in the ways that they have evolved? These are long-standing questions that have proven difficult to answer. To test between competing ...
  • Ásgeirsson, Vilhjálmur; Bauer, Christoph A.; Grimme, Stefan (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2017)
    We introduce a fully stand-alone version of the Quantum Chemistry Electron Ionization Mass Spectra (QCEIMS) program [S. Grimme, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2013, 52, 6306] allowing efficient simulations for molecules composed of elements with atomic numbers ...
  • Vlasov, Sergei M. (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Physical Sciences, 2017-12)
    Nanomagnetic systems and transitions between magnetic states are currently an active topic of research. Spintronics is, in particular, a new branch of science and technology where spin degrees of freedom and spin currents are used in an analogous way ...
  • Benediktsson, Bardi; Bjornsson, Ragnar (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2020-08-05)
    The nitrogenase enzymes are responsible for all biological nitrogen reduction. How this is accomplished at the atomic level, however, has still not been established. The molybdenum-dependent nitrogenase has been extensively studied and is the most ...
  • Kozin, Valerii; Iorsh, Ivan; Kibis, Oleg; Shelykh, Ivan (American Physical Society (APS), 2018-04-26)
    We developed the theory of electronic properties of semiconductor quantum rings with the Rashba spin-orbit interaction irradiated by an off-resonant high-frequency electromagnetic field (dressing field). Within the Floquet theory of periodically driven ...
  • Vilhjálmsson, Þorsteinn; Ellenberger, Íris (Wiley, 2024-08-16)
    In recent years, “queer joy” has become a prominent topic in queer circles in the West. It refers to a defiant sense of joy felt by LGBTQ + people in the face of an increasingly hostile environment. However, the political use of queer joy has a troubling ...
  • Sólveigar- og Guðmundsdóttir, Linda (University of Iceland, School of Social Sciences, Faculty of Sociology, Anthropology and Folkloristics, 2024-03)
