(Wiley, 2018-08-21)Winter ulcer disease, caused by Moritella viscosa, is a significant problem in cold water salmonid farming, although the bacterium can infect and cause disease in a number of other fish species, such as lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus). Lumpfish are used ... -
(2019-12-15)This thesis is a study of the interface between sociolinguistics and syntax, focusing on 19 th -century Icelandic and the implementation of a national standard language from a syntactic perspective. Icelandic is noted for relatively successful and ...

(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-11-06)High Latitude Dust (HLD) contributes 5% to the global dust budget, but HLD measurements are sparse. Dust observations from Iceland provide dust aerosol distributions during the Arctic winter for the first time, profiling dust storms as well as clean ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2012-01-29)There are three prolyl hydroxylases (PHD1, 2 and 3) that regulate the hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), the master transcriptional regulators that respond to changes in intracellular O(2) tension. In high O(2) tension (normoxia) the PHDs hydroxylate ...
-
(Agricultural University of Iceland, 2019)Fungal distribution in a liverwort-based biocrust was examined at different depths (0, 5 and 20 mm) by direct counting using both light and fluorescence microscopy. The DNA-based taxonomic composition of fungi was also determined and differences between ...
-
(University of Technology, Sydney, 2018-06-12)A project ethics tool was applied to review a major infrastructure project in Iceland. The tool is based on the four principles of “virtue” based ethics, “utility” based ethics, “duty” based ethics and “rights” based ethics. The tool uses perspectives ...
-
(Agricultural University of Iceland, 2019)Predicted genetic progress in production traits was compared using three different models for genetic evaluation of Icelandic dairy cows. The models were: a random regression (RR) test-day model, model using lactation yields until day 305 from calving ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, 2019-11)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 ...
-
(Agricultural University of Iceland, 2019)The only native tree species in Iceland forming woodland is the mountain birch. Since human settlement in the 9th century AD, natural birch woodlands have decreased from around 28% to 1.5% of the terrestrial area. In this paper we estimated and compared ...
-
(Agricultural University of Iceland, 2019)The incidence of horticultural pests in combination with increased frequency of extreme weather events, like summer drought, can compromise crop production in Nordic agricultural systems during the already short summer growing season. In particular, ...
-
(Agricultural University of Iceland, 2019)A total of 480,495 test-day yield records of 33,052 cows were used to estimate the genetic parameters for daily milk yield (MY), fat yield (FY), protein yield (PY) and somatic cell score (SCS) of Icelandic dairy cows in the first three lactations with ...
-
(Wiley, 2018-11-05)A novel viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) of genotype IV was isolated from wild lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus), brought to a land-based farm in Iceland, to serve as broodfish. Two groups of lumpfish juveniles, kept in tanks in the same facility, ...
-
(Univeristy of Iceland, School of Education, 2019-01)This research is about the learning journeys of artists at the Icelandic University of the Arts studying to become arts educators. This entails looking at their background and former experience and how that affects and shapes the educational practices ...
-
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018-12-26)Previous studies investigating the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on muscle strength showed no consensus. Therefore, the purpose of this article was to systematically review the literature on the effects of single dose tDCS ...
-
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-03-08)Literacy is the cornerstone of a primary school education and enables the intellectual and social development of young children. Letter-sound knowledge has been identified as critical for developing proficiency in reading. This study explored the ...
-
(University of Technology, Sydney, 2018-06-08)Project management is essentially about solving problems and getting things done. The ability to imagine is a crucial ability when it comes to finding solutions and actualizing them. This paper looks at how creativity can, on an individual, team and ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Physical Sciences, 2019-07)In the early Universe, most of the cold neutral gas that will later form into individual stars and galaxies is practically invisible to us. These neutral gas reservoirs can, however, be illuminated by bright cosmic lightsources such as gamma-ray bursts ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2018-12-14)The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action ES1404 HarmoSnow, entitled, A European network for a harmonized monitoring of snow for the benefit of climate change scenarios, hydrology and numerical weather prediction (2014-2018) aims ...
-
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2017-07-27)BACKGROUND: Both research and popular media reports suggest that adolescent mental health has been deteriorating across societies with advanced economies. This study sought to describe the trends in self-reported symptoms of depressed mood and anxiety ...
