An active field of research in magnetism today involves studies of solitons -- localised magnetic textures possessing particle-like properties. They are considered promising for various applications but are also intriguing from a fundamental point of ...

Rafeindasegullitrófsgreiningu (e. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, EPR) er reglubundið beitt í rannsóknum á byggingu og hreyfingu kjarnsýra til að fá upplýsingar um starfsemi þeirra og hlutverk. Innleiðing meðseglandi kjarna á ákveðinn stað í kjarnsýrum ...

Nature has been successful in self-assembling simple building blocks to complex functional architectures and the concept of supramolecular chemistry has enabled chemists to mimic nature's self-assembly principles. The understanding of the assembly/reassembly ...

Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) has emerged as an important technique to enhance the signal intensity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy by transferring spin polarization from unpaired electrons to nuclei of interest. Persistent organic ...

Application of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to localized cancer has long been regarded as a standard treatment option with its purpose being to deliver a ho- mogeneous high-dose distribution within the tumor volume while protecting organs at ...

The advent of ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) in recent years has expanded the scope of fisheries management, where policies are aimed not only at maximizing production (or biological yield) but also maintaining an optimal balance between ...

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 ...

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 ...

Lake Victoria is of immense ecological and socio-economic significance for the riparian communities. However, the lake is faced with human induced pressures such as overfishing, introduction of alien species, increased eutrophication and climate change ...

The aim of this work is to explore the role of electronegativity and the electron power absorption mechanism in electronegative capacitively coupled oxygen and chlorine discharges. The fundamental mechanisms underlying the electron heating and the ...
