Athugun á niðurstöðum í stærðfræði í PISA-rannsókninni 2003 sýndi að árangur nemenda í tveimur stærstu skólunum var marktækt betri en í minni skólum. Sérstaklega var árangurinn slakur í skólum með 11–25 þátttakendur. Athugun á árangri í dönskum skólum ...

The MITF transcription factor is a master regulator of melanocyte development and a critical factor in melanomagenesis. The related transcription factors TFEB and TFE3 regulate lysosomal activity and autophagy processes known to be important in ...

Neuroplasticity forms the basis for neuronal circuit complexity and differences between otherwise similar circuits. We show that the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (Mitf) plays a central role in intrinsic plasticity of olfactory bulb ...

This doctoral research explores the entanglements of placemaking, mobilities and the making of margins in the context of tourism. The research examines how places come to be and are transformed in relation to various mobilities within as well as through ...

This study evaluates a novel methodological approach for analyzing tourism mobility patterns in time and space within regions characterized by core-periphery mobility patterns, with Iceland and its key nature-based destinations serving as the study ...

Molybdenum nitrogenase is one of the most intriguing metalloenzymes in nature, featuring an exotic iron-molybdenum-sulfur cofactor, FeMoco, whose mode of action remains elusive. In particular, the molecular and electronic structure of the N2-binding ...

The main target of this thesis is to use density functional theory-based simulations to study electrochemical CO2 and N2 reductions by employing a recent theoretical model of an electrochemical solid-liquid interface. This model is used to investigate ...

Snow and glacier research is important in Iceland for a variety of reasons. Water resource forecasting for hydro-power production is important and monitoring of long-term changes and trends provide guidance for adoption strategies due to climate ...

This paper presents a work in progress on the development of a mental model of a food system using system analysis. The aim is to be able to use this model to create a mathematical simulation model that can be used to identify policy intervention ...

Converting CO2 into value-added products via hydrogenation is of interest due to its potential to reduce and reuse excess atmospheric CO2 and deal with global warming. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are of great interest in this conversion process due ...
