    Introduction: Conventional venous blood collection requires a puncture with a needle through the endothelium of a vessel. The endothelial injury causes activation of circulating platelets and the release of thromboxane A2. The aim of the study was to ...

    Tengsl skólastiga, sveigjanleiki á skilum þeirra og samfella í námi hefur talsvert verið til umræðu hér á landi en mjög hefur skort á upplýsingar um efnið. Úr því er bætt með þessari bók. Í Skilum skólastiga dregur höfundur upp ítarlega mynd af starfi ...
  • Cook, David (University of Iceland, School of Social Sciences, Faculty of Economics, 2018)
    Enhanced understanding and knowledge concerning a nation’s environmental sustainability performance is necessary to ensure the longterm flourishing capacities of economies and critical to the maintenance of human well-being, particularly through the ...
  • Rafnsdóttir, Gudbjörg Linda; Weigt, Jill (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-03-29)
    In the present article, we analyze a project in a heavy industry plant in Iceland in which the management aims to hire an equal number of women and men and, thereby, to work against the gender segregation of work. For their efforts, called the 50/50 ...

    Activity space (AS) is a measure of spatial behavior used to summarize the mobility behavior of individuals. Current studies often highlight the fact that AS is highly complex and multidimensional in character. Therefore, the need for more holistic ...
  • Loftsdóttir, Kristín (Informa UK Limited, 2015-10-02)
    This discussion stresses that looking at countries on the margins of European colonial rule can be useful when considering the wider dynamics of the present, reflecting the persistence of colonial discourses and how racism “endures”. Iceland’s colonial ...

    Water isotopes are powerful tracers of the hydrological cycle and can be used to serve many purposes in climateresearch. Here, we use water isotopic measurements – in the vapour and in the precipitations – from Bermudaand Iceland measurement facilities, ...

    We investigate whether one can detect changes in the freshwater contributions to the North Atlantic subpolar gyre(SPG), in light of the observed recent decrease of salinity in the region. We focus on two important conduits offreshwater from the ...
  • Steen-Larsen, H. C.; Sveinbjörnsdóttir, Árný; Jonsson, Th.; Ritter, F.; Bonne, J.-L.; Masson-Delmotte, V.; Sodemann, H.; Blunier, T.; Dahl-Jensen, D.; Vinther, B. M. (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2015-06-24)
    The isotopic composition of near surface (or planetary boundary layer) water vapor on the south coast of Iceland (63.83°N, 21.47°W) has been monitored in situ between November 2011 and April 2013. The calibrated data set documents seasonal variations ...

    In situ, airborne and satellite measurements are used to characterize the structure of water vapor in the lower tropical troposphere—below the height, z∗, of the triple-point isotherm, T∗. The measurements are evaluated in light of understanding of how ...
  • Benetti, Marion; Reverdin, G.; Aloisi, G.; Sveinbjörnsdóttir, Árný (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2017-06)
    The surface ocean hydrological cycle is explored based on ∼300 new δ18O and δD measurements from surface waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea over the period 2010–2016. Our approach combines these surface observations with salinity ...
  • Benetti, Marion; Lacour, Jean-Lionel; Sveinbjörnsdóttir, Árný; Aloisi, G.; Reverdin, G.; Risi, C.; Peters, A. J.; Steen‐Larsen, H. C. (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2018-03-10)
    We propose a framework using water vapor isotopes to study mixing processes in the marine boundary layer (MBL) during quiescent conditions, where we expect evaporation to contribute to the moisture budget. This framework complements the existing models, ...
