Lung cancer is the third most common type of cancer and the prime cause of cancer-related deaths in Iceland. As surgical resection is the only well-defined and well-studied curative treatment, the aim is to offer surgery to as many patients as possible ...

In this thesis, we explore the role of symmetries in hydrodynamics by studying certain properties of relativistic and non-relativistic fluids. In the first part of the thesis, we examine the theory of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (Maxwell ...

The aims of this project were: 1) to provide data regarding the physical abilities of Icelandic male handball players, by using 9+ screening test. 2) to register prevalence of overuse problems in the knee, low-back and dominant shoulder and to investigate ...

Both intact and deficient neural processing of faces has been found in dyslexic readers. Similarly, behavioral studies have shown both normal and abnormal face processing in developmental dyslexia. We tested whether dyslexic adults are impaired in tests ...

Í Laxdælu fléttast saman margir þræðir. Sumir eru næstum eins og sjálfstæðar frásagnir inni í stærri framvindu. Þessi flókna saga er alloft notuð sem kennsluefni við grunnskóla og framhaldsskóla. Eitt af vandamálum kennara sem kynna hana fyrir unglingum ...

Í greininni er svipast um eftir hinum ýmsu atlögum sem félagasamtök listamanna og sjálfstætt starfandi listamenn og sýningarstjórar hafa gert á undanförnum áratugum til að virkja borgarrými Reykjavíkur sem opinberan sýningarvettvang. Sjónum er beint ...

A Page curve for an evaporating black hole in asymptotically flat spacetime is computed by adapting the Quantum Ryu-Takayanagi (QRT) proposal to an analytically solvable semi-classical two-dimensional dilaton gravity theory. The Page time is found to ...

Unlike most other academic disciplines in Iceland, there has been little or no research in art history using feminist methodology and theories in which the concept of gender occurs. A critical review of the methodology applied in analysing the discourse ...

Cancer is driven by genetic change, and the advent of massively parallel sequencing has enabled systematic documentation of this variation at the whole-genome scale1,2,3. Here we report the integrative analysis of 2,658 whole-cancer genomes and their ...

The design of Deep Learning (DL) models is a complex task, involving decisions on the general architecture of the model (e.g., the number of layers of the Neural Network (NN)) and on the optimization algorithms (e.g., the learning rate). These so-called ...
