Sex differences have been observed in multiple facets of cancer epidemiology, treatment and biology, and in most cancers outside the sex organs. Efforts to link these clinical differences to specific molecular features have focused on somatic mutations ...

This comparative study has a two-fold aim. On the one hand, it provides a description of the national educational framework – legislative provisions, institutional strategies and policies – and the regional and local practices regarding the presence ...

Markmið þessarar rannsóknar er tvíþætt: Annars vegar að skoða félagslegan ávinning söngleikjaþátttöku og mikilvægi söngleikjaforms sem óhefðbundins náms og hins vegar að skoða hvaða áhrif söngleikjaþátttaka hefur á félagskvíða hjá nemendum ...

Samvirkni er af mörgum talin vera grundvöllur farsæls umbótastarfs sem leiðir til aukins árangurs í námi nemenda. Markmið rannsóknarinnar sem hér er til umfjöllunar er að öðlast skilning og þekkingu á því hvernig samvirkni í stefnumótun í skólamálum birtist ...

Protein stability is a widely studied topic, there are still aspects however that need addressing. In this paper we examined the effects of multiple proline substitutions into loop regions of the kinetically stable proteinase K-like serine protease ...

Dysregulated cholesterol homeostasis promotes the pathology of atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction and strokes. Cellular cholesterol is mainly regulated at the transcriptional level by SREBP2, but also through uptake of extracellular cholesterol ...

Optical bound states in the continuum (BICs) provide a way to engineer very narrow resonances in photonic crystals. The extended interaction time in these systems is particularly promising for the enhancement of nonlinear optical processes and the ...

Large volume effusive eruptions with relatively minor observed precursory signals are at odds with widely used models to interpret volcano deformation. Here we propose a new modelling framework that resolves this discrepancy by accounting for magma ...

We investigate quantum entanglement in a non-relativistic critical system by calculating the logarithmic negativity of a class of mixed states in the quantum Lifshitz model in one and two spatial dimensions. In 1+1 dimensions we employ a correlator ...

Metastatic progression is the leading cause of mortality in breast cancer. Invasive tumor cells develop invadopodia to travel through basement membranes and the interstitial matrix. Substantial efforts have been made to characterize invadopodia molecular ...
