Aims: The aim of the doctoral project was to develop and assess data extraction and analysis methods specific to the anterior cruciate ligament injury mechanism. The aim of paper I was to evaluate differences in the timing of the peak knee valgus moment ...

The subject of this thesis is blind hyperspectral unmixing using deep learning based autoencoders. Two methods based on autoencoders are proposed and analyzed. Both methods seek to exploit the spatial correlations in the hyperspectral images to improve ...

Germline mutations in BRCA2 increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. The BRCA2 protein is involved in maintaining genomic stability through its roles in DNA double strand break repair and protection of stalled replication forks. The BRCA2 gene ...

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 ...

Anthropogenic CO2 emissions, which are resulting in ocean acidification and a decrease in the saturation state for calcium carbonate (Ω), are a particular threat to calcifying marine biota. The aim of this thesis is to fill important knowledge gaps ...

Individuals within a population often differ predictably in their behaviour compared to other members across time and/or context, often termed personality, which can have major implications for ecology and evolution. Personality includes variation ...

The focus has shifted in recent years from clinical towards a biological definition of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), as pathophysiological changes precede the clinical symptoms by decades. In vivo brain imaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers have ...

ATG7, an essential protein for cellular homeostasis, plays a pivotal role in regulating autophagy. The autophagy process ensures the degradation and recycling of cellular components for proper cell function. ATG7 facilitates the lipidation of ATG8 ...

Background Previous research has shown that learning difficulties usually negatively impact the well-being and self-concept of children in primary school. This is the first Icelandic long-term study to examine the well-being of children with learning ...
