According to our present understanding, the early Universe contained the same amount of matter and anti-matter and, if the Universe had behaved symmetrically as it developed, every particle would have been annihilated by one of its antiparticles. One of the great mysteries in the natural sciences is therefore, why matter dominates over antimatter in the visible Universe. [...]

Current linear energy system models (ESM) acquiring toprovide sufficient detail and reliability frequently bring along problems ofboth high intricacy and increasing scale. Unfortunately, the size and complexityof these problems often prove to be intractable even for commercialstate-of-the-art linear programming solvers. [...]

In Electric Dipole Moment search experiments with polarized beams the coherence of spin oscillations of particles has a crucial role. The decoherent effects arise due to spin tune dependence on particle energy and particle trajectory in focusing-deflecting fields. [...]

The use of nuclear polarized fuel, i.e. polarized D, T or 3He, for coming fusion reactors promises to increase their energy output and to optimize the complete fusion process in various ways. [...]

The investigation of the recombination of nuclear polarized hydrogen and deuterium atoms into polarized molecules gives new insights into different fields in physics and chemistry. On the one hand, the measurement of the polarization preservation during the recombination process itself allows one the observation of a new parameter during the chemical processes on different surfaces and enables the production of hyper-polarized molecules. [...]

One of the possible arguments for the breaking of CP invariance is the existence of non-vanishing electric dipole moments (EDM) of elementary particles. Currently, the Jülich Electric Dipole Moment Investigation (JEDI) collaboration works under the conceptual design of the ring specifically for search of the deuteron electrical dipole moment (dEDM).

Die Blätter vieler Nutzpflanzen, insbesondere Nachtschattengewächse, enthalten wertvolle Sekundärmetabolite, die industriell genutzt werden könnten (Taylor und Fraser, 2011). Nichtsdestotrotz sind die Gehalte in Nutzpflanzen geringer als in den üblicherweise zu Ihrer Gewinnung angebauten Pflanzen (Oksman-Caldentey und Inzé, 2004). [...]

Experiences with optimizing the matrix-times-vector application of the Brillouin operator on the Intel KNL processor are reported. Without adjustments to the memory layout, performance figures of 360 Gflop/s in single and 270 Gflop/s in double precision are observed. [...]
