(Tilburg University, 2012)The aim of this thesis was (1) to assess the validity of the Type D personality construct and its association with poor cardiovascular health in Icelandic patients with established CAD, and (2) to explore how Type D personality is related to cardiovascular ... -
(University of London, 2010)The research is about the assimilation of women immigrants in Icelandic society through domesticity and the home. The focus is on the material practices that act to incorporate ‘foreign women’ into being Icelandic, accepting the ambivalence ...
-
(Oregon State University, 1991)In this thesis anomalous downcore shallowing of paleomagnetic inclinations is interpreted to be caused by sediment compaction. Thus, compaction-induced inclination shallowing may influence tectonic reconstructions that are based on inclinations from ...
-
(Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, 2013)In this thesis, we explore how objects affect the space around them. We show that spatial information is extracted from even completely novel objects. Information derived from the shape of objects is swiftly and automatically integrated into a variety ...
-
(Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis, 2009)The interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) gene encodes a transcription factor that plays an important role in the innate as well as in the cell-mediated immune response. The IRF5 gene has received considerable attention since it was shown to be associated ...
-
(University of Queensland, Brisbane, 2003)The aim of this thesis is to show how character analysis can be used to approach conceptions of saga authorship in medieval Iceland. The idea of possession is a metaphor that is adopted early in the thesis, and is used to describe Icelandic sagas as ...

(Cornell University, 2010-02)It is widely accepted within the field of labor economics that centralization of collective bargaining leads to lower wage dispersion. But is it possible to change the wage structure through changes in the collective bargaining agreement and decen ...
-
(University of Washington, 2007)Harmonic quantum transition state theory (HQTST), sometimes referred to as ’instanton theory’ or ’ImF theory’, has been implemented in an efficient way and tested. HQTST is analogous to the more familiar classical harmonic transition state theory ...
-
(Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main, 2013)Neuropathic pain is a maladaptive form of chronic pain caused by a primary injury or lesions in the central or peripheral nervous systems. Recently nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as important pro-nociceptive signaling molecule in pain signaling and ...
-
(Audio Engineering Society, 2017-05-11)This paper focuses on auditory sensory substitution for providing visually impaired users with suitable information in both static scene recognition and dynamic obstacle avoidance. We introduce three different sonification models together with three ...
-
(IOS Press, 2016-09-21)An exciting possibility for compensating for loss of sensory function is to augment deficient senses by conveying missing information through an intact sense. Here we present an overview of techniques that have been developed for sensory substitution ...
-
(Hindawi Limited, 2018)Electronic travel aids (ETAs) have been in focus since technology allowed designing relatively small, light, and mobile devices for assisting the visually impaired. Since visually impaired persons rely on spatial audio cues as their primary sense of ...
-
(Aalto University, Helsinki;University of Iceland, Reykjavik, 2016)A polymer escaping from a confining external potential represents a generic description of long macromolecules crossing an energy barrier. This type of barrier crossing problems are typical in nano- and microscale polymeric systems, where the polymers ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2018-02-21)The skyrmion racetrack is a promising concept for future information technology. There, binary bits are carried by nanoscale spin swirls–skyrmions–driven along magnetic strips. Stability of the skyrmions is a critical issue for realising this technology. ...
-
(Wiley, 2017-02-23)We use polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BPD) to predict smoking, and addiction to nicotine, alcohol or drugs in individuals not diagnosed with psychotic disorders. Using PRSs for 144 609 subjects, including 10 ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2018-02-12)We investigate theoretically thermal and electrical conductances for the system consisting of a quantum dot (QD) connected both to a pair of Majorana fermions residing at the edges of a Kitaev wire and two metallic leads. We demonstrate that both ...
-
(PhD-defence at University of Copenhagen, 2017-08-25)Iceland is one of the most active terrestrial volcanic regions on Earth with an average of more than 20 eruptions per century. Around 80% of all events are tephra generating explosive eruptions, but less than 10 % of all known tephra layers have been ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2016-01-15)Translational research tries to apply findings from basic science to enhance human health and well-being. Many phases of the translational research may include non-medical tasks (information technology, engineering, nanotechnology, biochemistry, animal ...
-
(American Foundation for the Blind., 2017-03)As the number of people with visual impairments (that is, those who are blind or have low vision) is continuously increasing, rehabilitation and engineering researchers have identified the need to design sensorysubstitution devices that would offer ...
