In general, Arctic charr exhibited vast variability in the overall level and the timing of activity.

Verkefnið er samstarfsverkefni MARICE og Lífeðlisfræðistofnunar við Háskóla Íslands, sem og Hafrannsóknastofnunarinnar. 

In this project the Arctic charr found in 20 lava caves in two areas around Lake Mývatn in NE-Iceland were studied.

The Western Volcanic Zone has been considerably active during postglacial times, even though it is less active than the faster spreading Northern Volcanic Zone.

This project formed the basis for the preliminary work that led to a funded application for a Consolidator Grant to the European Research Council, application titled “A Multilevel Analysis on the Effects of Stress on Biology, Emotions, and Behavior Throughout Childhood (ERC-CoG-2014 – 647860, LIFECOURSE)”. 

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.

The project involved a study of various micron-scale magnetic field sensors. These included magnetic tunnel junction sensors, perpendicular magnetization anomalous Hall effect sensors (FePt), and planar Hall effect sensors (NiFe, “Permalloy”).

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 main findings include a new and improved Logarithmic Law of the Wall model for the velocity profile in convective channel flow and phenomenological models for the evolution of the Nusselt number as a function of Reynolds number and Rayleigh number in a mixed convective flow.
