    Three 2´-deoxynucleosides containing semi-flexible spin labels, namely TA, UA and UC, were prepared and incorporated into deoxyoligonucleotides using the phosphoramidite method. All three nucleosides contain 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) ...

    The cocaine aptamer is a DNA three-way junction that binds cocaine at its helical junction. We studied the global conformation and overall flexibility of the aptamer in the absence and presence of cocaine by pulsed electron-electron double resonance ...

    The tetracycline-binding RNA aptamer (TC-aptamer) is a synthetic riboswitch that binds the antibiotic tetracycline (TC) with exceptionally high affinity. Although a crystal structure exists of the TC-bound state, little is known about the conformational ...

    Pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments, among them most prominently pulsed electron-electron double resonance experiments (PELDOR/DEER), resolve the conformational dynamics of nucleic acids with high resolution. The wide application ...

    Detailed modeling of a species’ history is of prime importance for understanding how natural selection operates over time. Most methods designed to detect positive selection along sequenced genomes, however, use simplified representations of past ...

    Background: Demographic theories maintain that family policies that support gender equality may lead to higher fertility levels in postindustrial societies. This phenomenon is often exemplified by the situation in the Nordic countries. These countries ...

    Background: Fusion genes result from genomic structural changes, which can lead to alterations in gene expression that supports tumor development. The aim of the study was to use fusion genes as a tool to identify new breast cancer (BC) genes with a ...
  • Zheng, Zhifeng; Cao, Jiannong; ZhiYong, Lv; Benediktsson, Jon Atli (MDPI AG, 2019-08-14)
    In this article, a novel approach for land cover change detection (LCCD) using very high resolution (VHR) remote sensing images based on spatial-spectral feature fusion and multi-scale segmentation voting decision is proposed. Unlike other traditional ...

    Ritgerð þessi til doktorsprófs í íslenskum bókmenntum miðar að því að skilgreina þulur síðari alda (þjóðkvæði frá u.þ.b. 15.–20. öld) sem kveðskapargrein með nákvæmari hætti en áður hefur verið gert og setja þær betur í samhengi íslenskrar bókmennta- ...

    Studying nucleic acids often requires labeling. Many labeling approaches require covalent bonds between the nucleic acid and the label, which complicates experimental procedures. Noncovalent labeling avoids the need for highly specific reagents and ...
  • Einarsdóttir, Margrét (Laeknabladid/The Icelandic Medical Journal, 2019-02-05)
    Inngangur Einkenni frá stoðkerfi eru algeng meðal unglinga og vitað er að slík einkenni á unglingsárum geta leitt til langvarandi stoðkerfisvandamála á fullorðinsárum. Stoðkerfisvandamál eru vaxandi meðal vinnandi fullorðins fólks og með algengari ...
  • Harðarson, Gísli (Linguistic Society of America, 2020-03-23)
    This paper discusses parallels between the conditioning of phonological processes at the word- and phrase-level. The approach taken here is a direct reference approach in which apparent mismatches between morphosyntactic domains and phonological domains ...
  • Fenger, Paula; Harðarson, Gísli (Linguistic Society of America, 2018-03-03)
    The expression of number (#) within the noun phrase has been argued tovary between a high (num) and a low position, which Kramer (2014) associates with n, providing the root with a syntactic category. We argue that Linking Morphemes (L) in Dutch provide ...
  • Harðarson, Gísli (Penn Graduate Linguistics Society, 2018-03-30)
    In this paper, I derive the asymmetries in morphosyntactic behaviors of synthetic and primary compounds through differences in terms of their formation. Following that, I examine how the resulting structures may regulate the interactions between the ...

    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 ...

    Vaccinations with the 10-valent pneumococcal conjugated vaccine (PHiD-CV) started in Iceland in 2011. Protein D (PD) from H. influenzae, which is coded for by the hpd gene, is used as a conjugate in the vaccine and may provide protection against ...
