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.

The results of this project are relevant to both natural and possible industrial synthesis of unusual natural products with high bioactivities and specificities.

Meginspurningar okkar eru hvernig sambandi sjálfsáts og krabbameinsáhættu er háttað í mönnum, auk þess hvort nýta megi ferlið sem lyfjamark í krabbameinsmeðferðum. 

Markmið verkefnisins „Development of viral vectors for immune therapy of horses with insect bite“ var að hanna veiruferjur með ofnæmisvakagen úr Culicoides spp. smámýi og nota til forvarnabólusetninga eða afnæmingu gegn SE. 

The results provides information about a poorly known ecosystem and species diversity in Icelandic groundwater and the connectivity of the groundwater systems within Iceland.

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. 

The main aim of this project was to gain further understanding of the role of purines in the physiological function of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in controlling the release of cytokines and the transepithelial ion transport, and which thus may shed light on diseases that affect the retina and the RPE. 

The project combines organizational ethnography with archival research and critical genealogy to investigate the various systems of subjection hidden in plain view in legal regimes of copyright and discursive regimes of authorship. Its aim is to shed critical light on normative understandings of creativity that control the circulation of culture and open the door to alternative ways of conceiving creative agency, beyond the figures of the author and the folk. 

The aim of the project was to examine, in a comprehensive manner, the relationship between sequence variants in the human genome and the risk of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. 

The project dealt with explorations as well as developments of methods to study properties of highly energized molecules with respect to splitting into molecular fragments and ions.
