A 3 day exercise simulating unrest and a large explosive eruption at Katla volcano, Iceland, was conducted in January 2016. A large volume of simulated data based on a complex, but realistic eruption scenario was compiled in advance and then transmitted ...

The habit of the common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) to associate with grazing horses is spreading in Iceland. When asked I found that many thought the birds were picking parasites from the skin of the horses. I found no references to scientific papers ...

In this paper I review the locality domains of contextual allomorphy, contextual allosemy and morphophonology with a special emphasis on compounds. I show that when the applications of these processes within compounds are compared, we observe a distinction ...

Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases affecting both children and adults. We report a genome-wide association meta-analysis of 69,189 cases and 702,199 controls from Iceland and UK biobank. We find 88 asthma risk variants at 56 loci, 19 ...

The main objective of the work is to address the effective behavior of girls and boys through Triadic Motor Games (TMG). A chasing game “The Maze” was applied on two class groups with a total of 42 players, 18 girls, and 24 boys, who were 12- and ...

Importance: Dual decline in both memory and gait speed may characterize a group of older individuals at high risk for future dementia. Objective: To assess the risk of dementia in older persons who experience parallel declines in memory and gait speed ...

The self-organised plasma patterns, known as spokes or ionisation zones in magnetron sputtering discharges, were observed in a wide range of power densities, from low power direct current magnetron sputtering (dcMS) discharge to high power impulse ...

We report on the observations of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 190114C by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. The prompt gamma-ray emission was detected by the Fermi GRB Monitor (GBM), the Fermi Large Area Telescope ...

Using density functional theory, we studied the bulk and surface properties of Li and Na electrodes on an atomistic level. To get a better understanding of the initial stages of surface growth phenomena (and thus dendrite formation), various self-diffusion ...

Markmið: Að kanna áhættuþætti fyrir fæðingu mikilla þungbura (fæðingarþyngd ≥5000 g) og hugsanlegar afleiðingar þess fyrir móður og barn (grein 1). Að meta efnaskipti mikilla þungbura með því að skoða mynstur þeirra amínósýra og acylkarnitína sem mæld ...
