As a global project of engineering and imagining the world, international development shaped subjectivities and societies, engaging with what Ann Laura Stoler (2008) has referred to as ‘imperial ruins’: what was left after colonialism. Ironically, ...

The relationship between the size and stability of isolated skyrmions in a magnetic monolayer is analyzed based on minimum energy path calculations and atomistic spin Hamiltonian. It is demonstrated that the energy barrier protecting the skyrmion from ...

Even though pharmaceutical care is not a new concept in pharmacy, its introduction and development has proved to be challenging. In Iceland, general practitioners are not familiar with pharmaceutical care and additionally no such service is offered in ...

This study investigated the efficacy of three commercially relevant packaging methods (vacuum with water glazing VAC-G; vacuum with seawater VAC-S; shatter-layer packaging SL) to improve frozen storage stability of mechanically filleted Atlantic mackerel ...

In this study, precipitation data for 483 synoptic stations, and the U&V component of wind and HGT data for 4 atmospheric levels were respectively obtained from IRIMO and NCEP/NCAR databases (1961–2013). The precipitation threshold of 1 mm and a minimum ...

We study Coulomb interacting electrons confined in polygonal quantum rings. We focus on the interplay of localization at the polygon corners and Coulomb repulsion. Remarkably, the Coulomb repulsion allows the formation of in-gap states, i.e., ...

Objectives: Breast feeding is associated with health benefits for both mother and child, but many studies focusing on neurodevelopment have lacked information on important confounders and few randomised trials exist. Our objective was to examine the ...

Sustainable energy development is a complex and multi-dimensional concept that is integral to sustainable development. This paper offers an approach to selecting comprehensive and robust indicators to monitor progress towards this international policy ...

Í þessari grein fjöllum við um íslenskar rannsóknir á afbrotum og öðrum frávikum. Greinin byrjar á því að skoða afbrot á Íslandi í alþjóðlegum samanburði. Á heimsvísu er tíðni manndrápa einna lægst á Íslandi en minni munur er á Íslandi og öðrum löndum ...

Íslensk nútímamálsorðabók er ný orðabók sem ætluð er til birtingar á vefnum. Orðabókin byggist að verulegu leyti á margmála veforðabókinni ISLEX (www.islex.is) og er m.a. flettiorðalistinn fenginn þaðan, svo og skipting í merkingarliði, framburður orða, ...
