    Á síðastliðnum áratug hefur orðið mikil aukning í framleiðslu og geymslu gagna í iðnaði sem og rannsóknum. Þrátt fyrir að gagnagreining sé ekki ný af nálinni, stendur hún frammi fyrir þeirri áskorun að ráða við síaukið magn, bandvídd og flækjustig ...
  • Palsson, Frosti (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2017-09)
    In remote sensing, acquired optical images of high spectral resolution have usually a lower spatial resolution than images of lower spectral resolution. This is due to physical, cost and complexity constraints. To make the most of the available imagery, ...

    Blöðruhálskirtilskrabbamein er í dag algengasta krabbamein meðal karlmanna bæði á Íslandi og í Danmörku. Í byrjun 10. áratugar síðustu aldar kom fram á sjónarsviðið svokallað PSA-blóðpróf. PSA er stytting á heitinu prostate specific antigen en það er ...
  • Óladóttir, Hanna (Háskóli Íslands, Hugvísindasvið, Íslensku- og menningardeild, 2017-09-08)
    Í rannsókninni er sjónum beint að þeim hugmyndafræðilega grunni sem málfræðikennsla í grunnskólum á Íslandi, skólamálfræðin, byggist á til að leggja til umræðunnar um hvað eigi að kenna í málfræði og hvers vegna. Gengið er út frá að nemendur þurfi ...
  • Óskarsdóttir, Edda (University of Iceland, School of Education, Faculty of Teacher Education, 2017-08-31)
    The compulsory school act in Iceland states that schools should be inclusive. This entails that schools need to provide every pupil with quality education according to their needs and ability, and to remove barriers to participation in learning and ...
  • Jónsdóttir, Ásthildur B. (Lapland University Press, 2017)
    This review focuses on the potential of art in education for sustainability in the context of teacher education and art creation. Both action research and art-based research are used to explore the role that art and art education might play in Education ...

  • Kubiriza, Godfrey (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2017-06)
    Although conditions for aquaculture in Uganda and East-Africa are favourable, production remains low. One of the primary limitations to aquaculture development in the region is the lack of economical aquafeeds produced from local raw materials. In ...
  • Saha, Subham (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Physical Sciences, 2017-06)
    Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is routinely used to study the structure and dynamics of nucleic acids, to obtain information about their functions. A prerequisite for most EPR studies of nucleic acids is the incorporation of ...
  • Neely, Rebecca Anna (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2017)
    Molybdenum isotopes are used to quantify changes in Earth’s paleoredox conditions but their application relies upon a simplified model in which rivers dominate the ocean input with minor contributions from hydrothermal fluids. The effect of groundwater ...
