Mældar voru landbreytingar með gervitunglatækni á svæðinu frá Bláfjöllum austur yfir Suðurland að Heklu. Þessar mælingar sýna verulegar hreyfingar, einkum á Hengilssvæðinu. Gervitunglamælingarnar eru notaðar til að reikna hraðasvið á svæðinu fyrir tímabilið 2008-2015, eftir Ölfusskjálftana í maí 2008.

Vacuum tubes have a long and distinguished history in electronics. Although they have been mostly replaced by solid state devices in consumer electronics, primarily due to cost issues, they still have an important role to play, particularly in generating radiation at high frequency and high power.

Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory joint disease which can cause significant disability. It primarily occurs among individuals who already have developed the skin disease psoriasis. This project is part of an international collaboration involving the University of Iceland, Boston University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard Medical School, and the Icelandic Research Fund funded the participation of an Icelandic researcher and his master‘s students in the project.

In the autumn 2008, Icelanders experienced a sudden national economic collapse. From being one of the richest nations in the world, the country suffered a major economic breakdown, affecting all inhabitants of Iceland in some way. Recent studies on the health consequences of the Icelandic economic collapse suggest an increase in depressive symptoms and perceived psychological stress, as well as an immediate short-term increase in attendance to a cardiac emergency department, among women in particular.

The strategy that was followed is based on copper promoted sequential condensations of terminal acetylenes with propargyl halides and attaching a diyne head group to an appropriate mono-, di-, tri- or tetrayne tail part, depending on the target molecule, regardless of whether synthesizing the polyunsaturated MELs or n-3 PUFAs.

In this project a transferable interaction potential for water molecules has been developed. The potential is based on a single-center multipole expansion (SCME) of the electrostatic interactions, and although many interaction potentials for water have previously been developed, the SCME model is unique in that the multipole expansion is carried out all the way up to the hexadecapole moment.

The objective of the project was to include Iceland in the rigorous and highly disciplined European Social Survey (ESS). Including Iceland in round 6 of the ESS provides the Icelandic and international academic community with valuable information about the civic society, personal and social well-being and Europeans' understanding and expectation of democracy.

Previously we discovered that drug/cyclodextrin complexes can self-assemble in aqueous solutions to form nanoparticles (aggregates). The diameter of these nanoparticles is about 100 nm. In this project the nanoparticles were allowed to selfassemble further to form small microparticles with limited water solubility.
