(University of Iceland, School of engineering and natural sciences, Faculty of physical sciences, 2024-09)We study the rings of polynomials in several complex variables whose exponents are restricted to the dilates of a compact convex set that contains the origin. We study the properties of weighted extremal functions associated to these polynomial rings, ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Physical Sciences, 2019-03-29)The first main theme of this thesis is the approximation of holomorphic functions on Stein manifolds by polynomials. In our setting a polynomial is an entire function whose absolute value is bounded from above by $\exp(a\psi+b)$ on the complement of a ...

(BMJ, 2018-05-01)Objectives Population statistics for carotid plaque and cardiovascular risk factors reported in scientific journals are usually presented as averages for the population or age and sex adjusted, rather than sex and age groups. Important population ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2021-01)The marine ecosystem around Iceland is shaped by its position in one of the most hydrographically complicated regions of the North Atlantic. The response of marine populations to those diverse conditions is expected to be different across taxonomically ...
-
(American Society for Microbiology, 2020-06-10)Resistance to macrolide antibiotics is a global concern in the treatment of Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus [GAS]) infections. In Iceland, since the detection of the first macrolide-resistant isolate in 1998, three epidemic waves of ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, 2019-06-05)Streptococcus pneumoniae is a Gram-positive diplococcus that is both a commensal bacterium in the upper respiratory tract of humans, and a common pathogen. The infectious manifestations of pneumococci span a range from benign to serious; from acute ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2024-05)Population numbers result from the combined effect of exogenous (weather, food, predation, anthropogenic impact) and endogenous (behaviour, density) factors on the population, which often act simultaneously resulting in spatial variation in population ...
-
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-03-31)The Purple Sandpiper (Calidris maritima) is a medium-sized shorebird that breeds in the Arctic and winters along northern Atlantic coastlines. Migration routes and affiliations between breeding grounds and wintering grounds are incompletely understood. ...
-
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-05-01)Sediment cores from Kløverbladvatna, a threshold lake in Wahlenbergfjorden, Nordaustlandet, Svalbard were used to reconstruct Holocene glacier fluctuations. Meltwater from Etonbreen spills over a threshold to the lake, only when the glacier is significantly ...
-
(Elsevier BV, 2017-08)Relative sea-level (RSL) data provide constraints on land uplift associated with former ice loading and can be used to differentiate between contrasting ice unloading scenarios. Isolation basin, coastal lowland and geomorphological evidence is employed ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Humanities, Faculty of History and Philosophy, 2023-10)To travel north has always been a challenge for the explorer, the natural scientist, the poet, the cartographer, the photographer, and the artist. Long present in the European imaginary, Iceland’s natural phenomena has functioned to affirm an idea of ...

(University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, 2019-03)Aims: The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the effects of a new multi-sensory balance training program: the “Reykjavik Model” among unsteady older adults as well as middle aged and elderly people with wrist fractures. Additionally, to explore the ...

(University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, 2019-04-24)Introduction: Adult individuals with disability and low motor function frequently have body deformations, such as scoliosis and windswept hips. Posture management is a component of physical management, which aims to prevent or reduce the development ...
