(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-11-08)Benign prostatic hyperplasia and associated lower urinary tract symptoms (BPH/LUTS) are common conditions affecting the majority of elderly males. Here we report the results of a genome-wide association study of symptomatic BPH/LUTS in 20,621 patients ... -
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-07-06)Blood pressure (BP) was inconsistently associated with migraine and the mechanisms of BP-lowering medications in migraine prophylaxis are unknown. Leveraging large-scale summary statistics for migraine (Ncases/Ncontrols = 59,674/316,078) and BP ...

(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-02-10)Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is one of the most common cancers in the United States. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with cutaneous SCC. Here, we report the ...

(Springer Nature, 2017-04-26)Few genome-wide association studies (GWAS) account for environmental exposures, like smoking, potentially impacting the overall trait variance when investigating the genetic contribution to obesity-related traits. Here, we use GWAS data from 51,080 ...
-
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017-04-27)Physical activity (PA) may modify the genetic effects that give rise to increased risk of obesity. To identify adiposity loci whose effects are modified by PA, we performed genome-wide interaction meta-analyses of BMI and BMI-adjusted waist circumference ...
-
(Frontiers Media SA, 2019-02-25)Understanding the structure of a bacterial population is essential in order to understand bacterial evolution. Estimating the core genome (those genes common to all, or nearly all, strains of a species) is a key component of such analyses. The size and ...

(American Society for Microbiology, 2017-08-01)Iceland is free of the major infectious diseases of horses. However, in 2010 an epidemic of respiratory disease of unknown cause spread through the country’s native horse population of 77,000. Microbiological investigations ruled out known viral agents ...
-
(eLife Sciences Organisation, Ltd., 2017-11-01)Numerous loci of large effect have been shown to underlie phenotypic variation between species. However, loci with subtle effects are presumably more frequently involved in microevolutionary processes but have rarely been discovered. We explore the ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2017-10-24)The introduction of Web 2.0 technology, along with a population increasingly proficient in Information and Communications Technology (ICT), coupled with the rapid advancements in genetic testing methods, has seen an increase in the presence of ...
-
(Georg Thieme Verlag KG, 2015-07-17)The genus Diphasiastrum includes at least 23 species distributed primarily across the northern temperate and subarctic areas of the world. These plants produce an array of lycopodium alkaloids, and some species such as Diphasiastrum complanatum have ...
-
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2019-04-11)Mass-balance measurements of Icelandic glaciers are sparse through the 20th century. However, the large archive of stereo images available allows estimates of glacier-wide mass balance in decadal time steps since 1945. Combined with climate records, ...
-
(Copernicus GmbH, 2016-01-19)In this paper we describe how recent high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) can be used to extract glacier surface DEMs from old aerial photographs and to evaluate the uncertainty of the mass balance record derived from the DEMs. We present a ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2019-04-24)A lot of emphasis has been put on the densification of urban form to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. However, many recent studies have found that central urban dwellers, even though their carbon footprints of daily transportation ...
-
(Agricultural University of Iceland, 2016)This article describes how natural geothermal soil temperature gradients in Iceland have been used to study terrestrial ecosystem responses to soil warming. The experimental approach was evaluated at three study sites in southern Iceland; one grassland ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2018-06-26)Geotourism is one of the newest concepts within tourism studies today. The popularity of geotourism has likewise grown rapidly over the past few decades. This rapidly growing popularity and the growing body of research on geotourism create the need for ...
-
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2018-09-01)Geo-questionnaires have been used in a variety of domains to collect public preferences, behavioural patterns, and spatially-explicit local knowledge, for academic research and environmental and urban planning. This paper provides an overview of the ...
-
(American Physical Society (APS), 2019-05-21)Here we study the magnetic proximity effect in amorphous layered magnets of alternating high- and low-Tc materials using magnetometry and polarized neutron reflectivity. By altering the thickness of either the high- or low-Tc layer we are able to extract ...

(Menntavísindasvið Háskóla Íslands, 2017-12-28)Markmið rannsóknarinnar var að kanna, út frá sjónarhorni barna á aldrinum eins til þriggja ára í einum leikskóla, hvernig gildi birtast í samskiptum þeirra í leik og hvernig börnin takast á við ágreining um gildi. Í greininni eru niðurstöður ...

(Háskóli Íslands, Menntavísindasvið, 2020-03-25)Höfundur er Ólafur Páll Jónsson, prófessor í heimspeki við Menntavísindasvið Háskóla Íslands. Greinin fjallar um mennsku og menntun í margbreytilegu samfélagi. Hér er fyrsta greinin af þremur í greinaröð sem hann hefur skrifað.

(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2020-02-13)Abstract In this paper, we give an overview of changes in area, length, surface elevation and mass balance of glaciers in mainland Norway since the 1960s. Frontal advances have been recorded in all regions except the northernmost glaciers in Troms and ...
