Iron-sulfur clusters are integral to the biochemistry of living organisms and
a lot of effort has been devoted to research their structure and function.
However, describing these polynuclear iron-sulfur clusters with computa tional chemistry poses a ...

The Icelandic case marking system has for decades proved an important testing ground
for theories on case and productivity. This is in part because Icelandic has the rare
property of marking argument function redundantly, with both rich morphological ...

The main purpose of this research is to contribute towards a theory of knowledge
worker productivity (KWP). When it comes to KWP there is no single integrated body
of knowledge which can be used for analytical and empirical testing and applied to
real ...
The seismicity of the Tjörnes Fracture Zone is distributed over a zone 150 km long and 80 km wide. Teleseismic locations of earthquakes within this zone show a diffuse pattern of epicenters that does not easily lend itself to tectonic interpretation. ...

This is an empirical study on changes and reform attempts in the Evangelical Lutheran
Church of Iceland (ELCI), focusing on the role of pastors in the processes. The aim is to
understand the role pastors played, how and why they contributed to or ...

A new synthesis method was developed and optimized by a full factorial design for conjugating hydroxycinnamic
acids (HCA-s) to chitosan. Cinnamic acid and tert-butyldimethylsilyl protected HCA-s were converted to their
corresponding acyl chlorides ...

Controlled creation of localized magnetic textures beyond conventional π-skyrmions is an important problem in the field of magnetism. Here, by means of spin dynamics simulations, Monte Carlo simulations, and harmonic transition state theory we demonstrate ...
Goerzen, Moritz Alexander; von Malottki, Stephan; Kwiatkowski, Grzegorz; Bessarab, Pavel; Heinze, Stefan(American Physical Society (APS), 2022-06-27)
We provide a theoretical background for electric-field-assisted thermally activated writing and deleting of magnetic skyrmions in ultrathin transition-metal films. We apply an atomistic spin model, which includes the exchange interaction, the ...

We present a study of the effect of
annealing amorphous ferromagnetic thin films of
Co0.85(Al0.7Zr0.3)0.15, post deposition. The annealing was
done in vacuum with no applied magnetic field. We find
that already at a relatively low annealing ...
