Our data suggests that in particular in water with pH~6 and above, Fe speciation may be controlled by equilibrium with Fe(III) hydroxide solid phase, but in acid waters equilibrium may not have been reached with Fe(II) and Fe(III) being controlled by other factors such as source(s), kinetics, and microbial reactions. 

The results have been internationally recognized and particularly the research related to host-parasite interactions will be continued on international level.

Bronchial epithelial differentiation and epithelial repair are critical in the pathogenesis of several lung diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer. Therefore, it is important to understand the molecular events regulating the hierarchical differentiation steps and repair mechanisms in airway epithelia.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable B-cell malignancy, and is always preceded by a monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), where patients have an M-protein on electrophoresis, but no sign of a malignant disorder. In this project we evaluated several important aspects in MGUS, with focus on complications and prognosis.

Rannsóknasjóður hefur um þriggja ára skeið styrkt rannsóknir á doktorsverkefninu Jarðhiti og krabbamein, sem nú er lokið. Rannsóknarspurningin vaknar því erlendar rannsóknir hafa sýnt að búseta á jarðhita- og eldfjallasvæðum tengist hærri tíðni ákveðinna tegunda krabbameina. Markmiðið var að rannsaka tengsl búsetu á jarðhitasvæðum og tíðni krabbameina á Íslandi.

We, researchers at the Center for System Biology in the University of Iceland, have built a computational model to understand the metabolism of breast epithelium. The model aims to understand the metabolic alteration during epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) which is an important event during development and cancer metastasis.

Markmið verkefnisins var að afla gagna til að meta samhengið á milli samsetningar þeirra efna sem notuð eru í FEBID og þeirrar upplausnar sem hægt er að ná með þeim og hreinleika úrfellinganna. Í stuttu máli; að leggja grunn að skilningi á samhenginu á milli samsetningar efnanna og hentugleika þeirra í FEBID með það fyrir augum að byggja upp vegvísi fyrir efnasmíðar á FEBID efnum sem henta til að ná betri upplausn og hærri hreinleika en mögulegt er í dag.

The main results of this project is a large database that allows researchers to characterize cognitive workload in terms of voice and cardiovascular reactivity taking into account the personality trait and cognitive capacity of each individual.

Nákvæm loftaflfræðilíkön þurfa langan reiknitíma og geta því ekki verið notuð beint í sjálfvirkum bestunar- og hönnunaraðferðum, sérstaklega ef notuð eru hefðbundin bestunaralgrím. Þess vegna er mikil þörf fyrir hraðvirkar bestunaraðferðir sem þurfa lágmarks notkun á nákvæmum og seinvirkum loftaflfræðilíkönum.

Thermopiles are of particular interest for utilization in biorefineries for their robustness and high tolerance to extreme environments, among other features.

A pilot study with a focus group of learners confirms the potential of the technology, by demonstrating that it is easy to use, provides relatively convincing voice and behavior and provides help with starting to speak the language.

Nocturnal gastroesophageal reflux (nGER) is associated with respiratory symptoms and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), but a causal relationship has not been established. We aimed to investigate the association between nGER and respiratory and SDB symptoms, as well as changes in lung function, sleep study and respiratory biomarkers.

This project focused maternal risk factors for hypertensive disorders during pregnancy and the potential effects hypertensive disorders (preeclampsia) on childhood neurodevelopmental outcomes. 

The main application is that of demonstrating the relevance of biosocialities-and-hierarchies perspective for the purpose of resolving ethical and social dilemmas in biopolitics; of particular relevance are Prainsack's works on “solidarity” and Pálsson's works on “geosociality” and “geopolitics”.

Meginmarkmið verkefnisins voru tvö: Í fyrsta lagi að draga saman og greina gögn um íslensku og þróun hennar sem erfðarmáls (e. heritage language) í Norður Ameríku og bera þetta mál (vesturíslensku) saman við þá íslensku sem er og hefur verið töluð á Íslandi. Í öðru lagi var ætlunin að draga saman og greina gögn um menningarlega sjálfsmynd Vestur-Íslendinga á ýmsum tímum, einkum með hliðsjón af því hvaða hlutverki íslenskan gegndi í þessari sjálfsmynd. 

The main aims of the project were to address the multiplicity and interrelation of emotion and voice in medieval literature through a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach.  

Small RNA-sequencing analysis of four developmental time points in two contrasting Arctic charr morphologies showed that 53 known and 19 novel miRNAs have significantly different levels of expression.

Í verkefninu var lengingarferill RNA pólímerasa II (RNAPII) skoðaður með sérstaka áherslu á hvernig RNAPII getur rofið nýmyndað mRNA og hvernig lengingarþáttur umritunar TFIIS/TCEA1 getur hjálpað til við það. Þetta rof á sér helst stað þegar RNAPII hefur stöðvast í lengingarferlinu t.d. vegna DNA skemmda.
