(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2022-06)The theory of divergence by trophic polymorphism, an important part of diversification in vertebrates, has recently been extended to encompass the interplay of developmental, ecological and evolutionary processes (Eco-Evo-Devo dynamics). However, ...

(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2023-03-14)Hjalli-Ölfus is the westernmost segment of the east-west transform South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ), which is the eastward extension of the ∼ENE-trending transtensional Reykjanes Peninsula (RP). Historically, the area has shown an interactive behavior ...

(BioMed Central, 2015-04-30)Electronic cigarette (EC) use is currently subject to a debate concerning safety, regulation need, and probable contribution to smoking cessation. An important gap in this debate is the lack of distinction between minors and adults. This is problematic ...
-
(2023-04-08)Objective: This study aimed to investigate the actor–partner effects of attitudes toward group-based inequality as measured by social dominance orientation (SDO) and marital quality, and the indirect actor–partner effects of SDO on marital quality via ...

(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-14)Background The Icelandic Prevention Model (IPM) is a collaborative upstream model that was designed to influence risk and protective factors related to substance use within the community, school, peer and family contexts. By engaging whole communities, ...

Examining the link between maternal nutrition, gestational weight gain, and later offspring health (University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Food Science and Nutrition, 2018-01)Aim: The aim of this Ph.D. thesis is to enhance understanding of the relation between maternal diet, gestational weight gain (GWG), and offspring’s cardio-metabolic factors. Moreover, the objective is to identify dietary predictors for excessive GWG. ...

(Menntavísindastofnun, Menntavísindasvið, Háskóli Íslands, 2018-09-14)Creative thinking and creative action are considered important competencies in the world today. In Iceland, creativity was presented as one of six fundamental issues in education in 2011. One approach to enhance creative thinking and creative ...
-
(American Physical Society (APS), 2018-03-02)We study exciton polaritons in a two-dimensional Lieb lattice of micropillars. The energy spectrum of the system features two flat bands formed from S and P x , y photonic orbitals, into which we trigger bosonic condensation under high power ...
-
(American Chemical Society, 2018-04-21)The distinctive prismatic geometry of semiconductor core-shell nanowires leads to complex localization patterns of carriers. Here, we describe the formation of optically active in-gap excitonic states induced by the interplay between localization of ...
-
(American Physical Society (APS), 2017-09-06)We study theoretically the Coulomb interaction between excitons in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers. We calculate direct and exchange interaction for both ground and excited states of excitons. The screening of the Coulomb interaction, ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2019-10-16)We study theoretically the quantum states of two interacting excitons in coaxial double quantum rings. An interplay between exciton-exciton Coulomb interactions and specific geometry of the structure leads to the emergence of peculiar energy spectrum ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Humanities, Faculty of Icelandic and Comparative Cultural Studies, 2023-01-12)This thesis examines the evolution of the Viking image in U.S. popular culture, from the publication of Antiquitates Americanæ, a scholarly work on the Vinland sagas, by Danish philologist Carl Christian Rafn in 1837, to the Unite the Right Rally in ...
