Molecular Dynamics (MD) is a widely used tool for simulations of particle systems with pair-wise interactions. Since large scale MD simulations are very demanding in computation time, parallelisation is an important factor. [...]

Phosphorus (P) is a major nutrient for plants, but a finite non-renewable resource of modern agriculture. What is more, the P use efficiency of fertilizer is usually low, because of rapid immobilization of available P by sorption to soil minerals. [...]

The idea of searching for the electric dipole moment (EDM) of proton and deuteron using polarized beams in a storage ring was originally proposed at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), USA. Currently, the Jülich Electric Dipole moment Investigations (JEDI) collaboration develops the conceptual design of such a ring specifically for the search of the deuteron electrical dipole moment (dEDM). [...]

The quasi-frozen spin (QFS) concept of a storage ring for deuteron EDM measurement is based on the fact that the anomalous magnetic moment has a small negative value. Due to this fact, the rotation of spin in two parts of ring with the magnetic and electric fields relative to the momentum can compensate each other. [...]

In this paper, it is demonstrated that the simulation of fire propagation in cable tray installations, with the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), version 6.3.2, can be achieved. A material parameter set allowing to estimate the fire spread, depending on environmental conditions close to the fire seat, was generated. [...]

Fires in road tunnels constitute complex scenarios with interactions between the fire, tunnel users and safety measures. More and more methodologies for risk analysis quantify the consequences of these scenarios with complex models. [...]

Satellite-based remote sensing in the mid-infrared spectral region can deliver a wealth of information on pressure, temperature, clouds and aerosols, and trace gas concentrations in the atmosphere. Interpreting the satellite measurements requires to solve an inverse modelling problem based on variational methods and a forward model evaluating the radiative transfer equations. [...]
