Ocular drug delivery is very challenging due to the anatomical and physiological barriers of the eye. Poor aqueous solubility of many drugs and short retention time at ocular surfaces makes the formulation of topical dosage forms even more challenging. ...

The nature of dark matter (DM) as a particle is still an unresolved mystery in Physics. Therefore, a vast amount of competing particle models have been proposed. A promising category among these models are those that include relevant collisional damping ...

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women in Iceland and worldwide. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a cellular developmental process where epithelial cells assume mesenchymal-like phenotypes through degradation of the ...

The use of Machine Learning (ML) techniques in the medical field is not a new occurrence and several papers describing research in that direction have been published. This research has helped in analysing medical images, creating responsive cardiovascular ...

Determining the atomic structure of nanoclusters is a challenging task and a critical one for understanding their chemical and physical properties. To fully understand the properties of a nanocluster, it is necessary to know the positions of the atoms ...

Municipal solid waste incineration has been identified as a major source of dioxins in the air, leading to the closure of many European incinerators. While gasification of waste and biomass has been considered a more environmentally friendly alternative, ...

Methods for identifying the mechanism and estimating the rate of chemical reactions are presented and evaluated for a wide range of systems, using both classical and quantum mechanical description of the atomic nuclei. In the classical case, the minimum ...

Sumarexem er húðofnæmi af gerð I í hestum sem orsakast af framleiðslu á IgE mótefnum gegn ofnæmisvökum upprunnum úr biti smámýs (Culicoides spp.). Sjúkdómsvaldurinn lifir ekki á Íslandi. Tíðni sjúkdómsins er mun hærri í útfluttum hestum samanborið við ...

The current climate crisis and human overpopulation demands more sustainable technologies for industrial chemical synthesis, such as biorefineries. The aim of this project was to study the potential of two non-model microorganisms to produce industrially ...

Visual attention has traditionally been studied with single-target search tasks where observers look for a single target and make a response, then the search is over and the trial ends. These studies have furthered our knowledge of visual attention ...
