Member states of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons that are not listed as nuclear weapons states are subject to international safeguards in order to ensure that no nuclear material is diverted or facilities are misused with the aim of building nuclear weapons. With that objective, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and other safeguards authorities use technical measures such as seals, closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, radiation detectors or laser scanners in civil nuclear facilities.

In der Präzisionslandwirtschaft ("Precision Farming") werden immer mehr Methoden zur effizienten und umweltverträglichen Bewirtschaftung von landwirtschaftlichen Flächen entwickelt und eingesetzt. Technische Lösungen zur schnellen Kartierung der Bodenparameter helfen dabei eine effizientere Feldbearbeitung zu ermöglichen. [...]

The challenges of designing long-term safeguards on civilian nuclear waste in underground repositories have some similarities to those of managing the monitored secure storage and disposal of nuclear weapon material recovered during weapon production processes and as part of a disarmament process. This presentation will present a model and software architecture designed for a digital twin of safeguards on civilian nuclear waste and ask how it may be adapted to be useful in a disarmament context [...]

Nonlinear partial differential equations frequently arise in different fields ofscience. Discretization of the nonlinear problems usually leads to large non-linear systems. [...]

Linear solvers are a central component of many applications in physics and engineering. In this work we present a software package for simultaneously solving with multiple right-hand sides using the vast compute performance and memory bandwidth of graphical processors. [...]
