  • Heenen, Francois Frans (Stofnun Vigdísar Finnbogadóttur í erlendum tungumálum, 2016)
    Í grein François Heenen, „Imparfait et Stéréotypes“ (Milli Mála 7, 2015), var sú kenning sett fram að franska lýsingarþátíðin (imparfait) miðli ákveðnu ferli sem viðmælandinn fer eftir til að túlka segðina. Þessi kenning getur að mati höfundarins ...
  • Erlendsdóttir, Erla (Stofnun Vigdísar Finnbogadóttur í erlendum tungumálum, 2016)
    Orð af norrænum uppruna, einkum orð sem lúta að skipasmíði og siglingum, voru á sínum tíma tekin upp í normandísku þaðan sem þau bárust inn í frönsku sem miðlaði þeim aftur á móti til annara rómanskra tungumála, til að mynda spænsku. Má hér nefna ...

    Rannsóknin sem lýst er í greininni sýnir hvernig notkun á Facebook sem stafræns vinnuumhverfis í kennslu spænsku sem erlends tungumáls getur haft áhrif á áhugahvöt nemenda í tileinkun markmálsins. Með samvinnu og samskiptum á þessum samfélagsmiðli ...
  • Ingason, Anton; Sigurðsson, Einar Freyr; Wood, Jim (Stofnun Vigdísar Finnbogadóttur í erlendum tungumálum, 2016)
    Þessi grein fjallar um föst orðasambönd þar sem tiltekin sögn og tiltekið andlag hennar eru túlkuð á sérstakan hátt sem ekki er fyrirsegjanlegur út frá merkingu einstakra orða. Við ræðum samspil tiltekinna setningagerða í íslensku og túlkunar á ...
  • Kamble, Nilesh Ramesh (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Physical Sciences, 2017-12-21)
    Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is a well known technique that is routinely used to investigate the structure and dynamics of nucleic acids. EPR requires incorporation of paramagnetic centers at specific sites, called site-directed ...
  • Bjarnason, Ingi Þorleifur (Iceland Glaciological Society and Geoscience Society of IcelandJöklarannsóknafélags Íslands og Jarðfræðafélags Íslands, 2014)
    A day and a half after the earthquake (mb=5.3, MS=5.6, MW=5.6) in the Bárðarbunga central volcano on Sept. 29th 1996, a volcanic eruption broke out under the Vatnajökull glacier. The eruption was located approximately 20 km SSE of the earthquake ...
  • Bjarnason, Ingi Þorleifur (Iceland Glaciological Society and Geoscience Society of IcelandJöklarannsóknafélags Íslands og Jarðfræðafélags Íslands, 2008)
    Is Iceland a hotspot, with ridge-centered plume? In Iceland vigorous volcanism has built up a plateau 3.0 km higher than at a normal mid-ocean ridge with 3 to 4 times thicker crust than average oceanic crust. This volcanism can be associated with ...
  • Bjarnason, Ingi Þorleifur; Schmeling, Harro (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2009-07)
    1-D models were calculated for the velocity of shear waves, polarized vertically (SV) and horizontally (SH) from dispersed Rayleigh and Love surface waves. These had been recorded in Iceland by the ICEMELT broad-band seismic network, with about half ...
  • Bjarnason, Ingi Þorleifur; Cowie, Patience; Anders, Mark H.; Seeber, Leonardo; Scholz, Christopher H. (The Seismological Society of America, 1993)
    We have mapped in detail surface ruptures of the 1912 magnitude 7.0 strike-slip earthquake in south Iceland. This earthquake ruptured fresh basalt flows that had covered the pre-existing fault. The observed style of surface fracturing closely matches ...
  • Vlasov, Sergei M. (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Physical Sciences, 2017-12)
    Nanomagnetic systems and transitions between magnetic states are currently an active topic of research. Spintronics is, in particular, a new branch of science and technology where spin degrees of freedom and spin currents are used in an analogous way ...
  • Book, Matthias; Riedel, Morris; Neukirchen, Helmut; Götz, Markus (ACM Press, 2017-10)
    The design, development and deployment of scientific computing applications can be quite complex as they require scientific, High-Performance Computing (HPC), and software engineering expertise. Often, HPC applications are however developed by end users ...
  • Khosa, Rabia Yasmin (2017)
    Silicon is a semiconductor material used in most power devices and the Si metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is the key switching device for high power applications. Recently silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs have emerged on the ...
  • Liashko, Sergei Y. (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Physical Sciences, 2017-11)
    Microscopic magnetic particles can be found in a wide range of systems, from asteroids in outer space and minerals in the Earth’s crust to living organisms on land and in the ocean. Often they determine critical functional properties of these systems ...
  • T P, Ragesh Kumar (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Physical Sciences, 2017-12-15)
    Focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) is a direct-write 3D nanofabrication technique, which works on the principle of electron-induced molecular decomposition. In FEBID, a high-energy focused electron beam dissociates the precursor molecules ...
  • Bjarnason, Ingi Þorleifur; Wolfe, Cecily J.; Solomon, Sean C.; Guðmundsson, Gunnar (Wiley-Blackwell, 1996-03-01)
    We present results from the first stage of the ICEMELT broadband seismometer experiment designed to determine upper mantle structure beneath Iceland, a hotspot located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Relative delays of teleseismic body waves across Iceland ...
  • Lv, ZhiYong; Shi, WenZhong; Zhou, XiaoCheng; Benediktsson, Jon Atli (MDPI AG, 2017-10-31)
    Change detection is an increasingly important research topic in remote sensing application. Previous studies achieved land cover change detection (LCCD) using bi-temporal remote sensing images. However, many widely used methods detected change depending ...

    While tactile acuity for pressure has been extensively investigated, far less is known about acuity for vibrotactile stimulation. Vibrotactile acuity is important however, as such stimulation is used in many applications, including sensory substitution ...
  • Pallares, Luisa F; Ledevin, Ronan; Pantalacci, Sophie; Turner, Leslie M; Steingrimsson, Eirikur; Renaud, Sabrina (eLife Sciences Organisation, Ltd., 2017-11-01)
    Numerous loci of large effect have been shown to underlie phenotypic variation between species. However, loci with subtle effects are presumably more frequently involved in microevolutionary processes but have rarely been discovered. We explore the ...
  • Tarsi, Matteo (Isländska sällskapet, 2017-12-21)
    The article deals with the birth of a linguistic norm in Iceland and Italy. The dis­cussion focuses on four works, which lay the foundations for the discussion of grammar and poetics in their respective vernaculars, namely Dante Alighieri’s De vulgari ...
