    The aim of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is to identify sequence variants that influence human traits or diseases. Previous GWAS have mostly focused on finding variants that affect the mean of a trait or disease risk under an additive model. ...
  • Burger, Jan David (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Physical Sciences, 2021)
    In the ΛCDM concordance model cold and collision-less dark matter (CDM) accounts for about four fifths of the Universe’s total matter content, while visible baryonic matter makes up the final fifth. The ΛCDM model successfully describes how large ...
  • Bjarnason, Sveinn (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2024-05-10)
    Þessi ritgerð skoðar hlutverk ómótaðra próteina og svæða í kjarna heilkjörnunga, með áherslu á frumkvöðla umritunarþáttinn Sox2. Sox2 er þekkt fyrir hlutverk sitt í viðhaldi á fjölhæfni stofnfrumna og fyrir að hefja breytingar á tjáningu gena sem eru ...
  • Einarsson, Bergur (Bergur Einarsson, 2018-05-23)
    Continuous GPS measurements on three broad and gently sloping temperate ice-cap outlets in southern and western Vatnajökull, southeast Iceland, and in northern Hofsjökull, central Iceland, are the subject of this thesis. The measurements show events ...
  • Reynolds, Hannah Iona (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2017-12-18)
    Thermal anomalies are observed at many volcanoes, resulting from geothermal and magmatic activity, and are usually difficult to quantify since the measurement of heat fluxes from the ground to the atmosphere is subject to large uncertainties. However, ...
  • Smárason, Orri (University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Psychology, 2023-12)
    Background: Pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is debilitating and often chronic, associated with significant social and educational impairment as well as reduced quality of life. OCD can present with highly heterogenous symptom profiles. ...
  • Asgeirsdottir, Hildur Gudny (University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, 2019-02-08)
    Bakgrunnur og markmið: Meirihluti einstaklinga upplifir streitu og áföll á ævinni. Streita og áföll hafa í för með sér aukna áhættu á geðröskunum sem geta leitt til alvarlegri útkoma, eins og aukinnar áhættu á sjálfsvígshugsum sjálfsskaða, ...
  • Prause, Simon (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2023-03)
    The chemical interaction between seawater and basalt at low temperatures (≤150°C) ranks among the more significant factors controlling the composition of seawater and the oceanic crust. However, the time-integrated geochemical and petrographic outcomes ...
