Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2020

description: Renzo Piano Building Workshop designed a 290,000 sf museum celebrating the artistry and technology of film, becoming the world’s first museum and event space devoted to the Motion Picture. The 388 Mio USD project consist of a six story tall renovated existing building and a dome-shaped iconic new building housing a 1,000-seat theater. Both buildings are linked by several – partially suspended – bridges. The 150 ft diameter dome is a steel grid shell with cable bracing and flat, shingled glass panels on a secondary layer. The single-layered curved structural steel tubes have a diameter of 4 inches only. With an airy and weightless quality, the globe’s structure seems to dissolve into the background. The construction of the steel glass structure was completed in autumn 2019; grand opening of the museum is planned for summer 2020. Knippers Helbig was responsible for design and engineering of the structure and glazing system of spherical glazed gridshell structure from concept stage until signed and sealed drawings and calculations and was responsible for design and engineering of the bridges during Design Development.

description: OB associations are the prime star forming sites in galaxies. However the detailed formation process of such stellar systems still remains a mystery. In this context, identifying the presence of substructures may help tracing the footprints of their formation process. Here, we present a kinematic study of the two massive OB associations Cygnus OB2 and Carina OB1 using the precise astrometry from the Gaia Data Release 2 and radial velocities. From the parallaxes of stars, these OB associations are confirmed to be genuine stellar systems. Both Cygnus OB2 and Carina OB1 are composed of a few dense clusters and a halo which have different kinematic properties: the clusters occupy regions of 5-8 parsecs in diameter and display small dispersions in proper motion, while the halos spread over tens of parsecs with a 2-3 times larger dispersions in proper motion. This is reminiscent of the so-called "line width-size" relation of molecular clouds related to turbulence. Considering that the kinematics and structural features were inherited from those of their natal clouds would then imply that the formation of OB associations may result from structure formation driven by supersonic turbulence, rather than from the dynamical evolution of individual embedded clusters.

description: Objectives: Adhesion and marginal adaptation of a claimed bioactive restorative material (ACTIVA BioACTIVE Restorative) to human teeth were compared with those of a resin-modified glass ionomer cement (Fuji II LC) and a control resin composite (Ceram X Mono). Material and Methods: Shear bond strength and marginal adaptation to enamel and dentine were assessed after no pretreatment of the hard tissues or after etching with phosphoric acid (ACTIVA BioACTIVE Restorative and Ceram X Mono) or polyacrylic acid (Fuji II LC). For ACTIVA BioACTIVE Restorative, the effect of applying a self-etch adhesive (Xeno Select, Dentsply Sirona) was also investigated. Data were analyzed using non-parametric tests (α = 0.05). Results: Bond strength and marginal adaptation in enamel and dentine were significantly different among the investigated materials (p Conclusion: The self-adhesive property of ACTIVA BioACTIVE Restorative is nonexistent.

Comparing the predictive powers of survival models using Harrell's C or Somers' D

Year: 2010
Subjects: Research Methods/ Statistical Methods

description: Medical researchers frequently make statements that one model predicts survival better than another, and they are frequently challenged to provide rigorous statistical justification for those statements. Stata provides the estat concordance command to calculate the rank parameters Harrell’s C and Somers’ D as measures of the ordinal predictive power of a model. However, no confidence limits or p-values are provided to compare the predictive power of distinct models. The somersd package, downloadable from Statistical Software Components, can provide such confidence intervals, but they should not be taken seriously if they are calculated in the dataset in which the model was fit. Methods are demonstrated for fitting alternative models to a training set of data, and then measuring and comparing their predictive powers by using out-of-sample prediction and somersd in a test set to produce statistically sensible confidence intervals and p-values for the differences between the predictive powers of different models.

Adaptative Inference Cost With Convolutional Neural Mixture Models
Creators: name: Ruiz, Adria

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Despite the outstanding performance of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for many vision tasks, the required computational cost during inference is problematic when resources are limited. In this context, we propose Convolutional Neural Mixture Models (CNMMs), a probabilistic model embedding a large number of CNNs that can be jointly trained and evaluated in an efficient manner. Within the proposed framework, we present different mechanisms to prune subsets of CNNs from the mixture, allowing to easily adapt the computational cost required for inference. Image classification and semantic segmentation experiments show that our method achieve excellent accuracy-compute trade-offs. Moreover, unlike most of previous approaches, a single CNMM provides a large range of operating points along this trade-off, without any re-training.
title: On the Welfare Effects of Credit Arrangements
Creators: name: Chiu, Jonathan
name: Dong, Mei
name: Shao, Enchuan
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2012

description: This paper studies the welfare effects of different credit arrangements and how these effects depend on the trading mechanism and inflation. In a competitive market, a deviation from the Friedman rule is always sub-optimal. Moreover, credit arrangements can be welfare-reducing, because increased consumption by credit users will drive up the price level so that money users have to reduce consumption when facing a binding liquidity restraint. By adopting an optimal trading mechanism, however, these welfare implications can be overturned. Price discrimination under the optimal mechanism helps internalize the price effects. First, small deviations from the Friedman rule are no longer welfare-reducing. Second, increasing the access to credit becomes welfare-improving. Finally, the model is extended to study the welfare effects of credit systems when credit serves as means of payment, and endogenous credit constraint.
description: Dans cette étude, les auteurs examinent les effets de différents modes de crédit sur le bien-être et la sensibilité de ces effets au mécanisme de négociation et à l’inflation. Dans un marché soumis à la concurrence, un écart par rapport à la règle de Friedman est toujours sous-optimal. De plus, le crédit peut réduire le bien-être étant donné qu’en accroissant la consommation de ceux qui y ont recours, il fait monter le niveau des prix, obligeant ainsi les utilisateurs de monnaie à réduire leur consommation s’ils sont confrontés à une contrainte de liquidité. Il est toutefois possible de neutraliser ces effets sur le bien-être en introduisant un mécanisme de négociation optimal. Dans ce cas, la discrimination par les prix aide à internaliser les effets de prix. Premièrement, un faible écart par rapport à la règle de Friedman n’a plus d’incidence réductrice sur le bien-être. Deuxièmement, un accès accru au crédit se traduit par une amélioration du bien-être. Pour terminer, les auteurs étoffent le modèle afin d’étudier les effets sur le bien-être de l’utilisation de systèmes de crédit, lorsque le crédit est un moyen de paiement, et les effets de contraintes de crédit endogènes.

We use an exactly solved relativistic potential model of the hadron, treating the constituents as independent massless Dirac particles confined to an infinitely massive force center. The importance of including the p-wave components of the Dirac wave function is demonstrated. Comparisons are made to the observed data on the proton by taking into account the observed flavor dependence of the valence quark distribution functions.

Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2020

description: A bespoke structural glass storefront is designed for the P.C. Hooftstraat 138. Developer Warenar Real Estate assembled a design team with UNStudio, Arup and Octatube. The façade features twisted geometries with precisely detailed glass connections and custom non-orthogonal steel and glass doors. At ground floor level the facade starts flush with adjacent buildings but rising up it also leans and cantilevers outwards to become more visible from a distance. For optimal quality and minimalistic detailing, a scheme was designed in which most elements could be pre-assembled in the factory into three large 2m x 8,5m high units. Connections between curved glass elements are all glued in combination with stainless steel elements for edge protection and emphasis on the curved geometry. Risk of thermal breakage of annealed curved elements that are partially inside and partially outside is minimized by gluing stainless steel plates to the glass elements that act as cooling ribs. Frequent collaboration throughout the whole project between all parties resulted in successful delivery with no glass breakage during the construction phase. It took years to design, months to assemble in factory, but only 2 days to construct on site.

description: Under investigation in this work is the inverse scattering transform of the general fifth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with nonzero boundary conditions (NZBCs), which can be reduced to several integrable equations. Firstly, a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem for the equation with NZBCs at infinity is systematically investigated.Then the inverse problems are solved through the investigation of the matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem. Thus, the general solutions for the potentials, and explicit expressions for the reflection-less potentials are well constructed. Furthermore, the trace formulae and theta conditions are also presented. In particular, we analyze the simple-pole and double-pole solutions for the equation with NZBCs. Finally, the dynamics of the obtained solutions are graphically discussed. These results provided in this work can be useful to enrich and explain the related nonlinear wave phenomena in nonlinear fields.

description: We present high resolution (R $\sim$ 44,000) UVES spectra of the eclipsing pre-main sequence star KH 15D covering the wavelength range 4780 to 6810 Å obtained at three phases: out of eclipse, near minimum light and during egress. The system evidently acts like a natural coronagraph, enhancing the contrast relative to the continuum of hydrogen and forbidden emission lines during eclipse. At maximum light the H$α$ equivalent width was $\sim$2 Å and the profile showed broad wings and a deep central absorption. During egress the equivalent width was much higher ($\sim$70 Å) and the broad wings, which extend to $\pm$ 300 km/s, were prominent. During eclipse totality the equivalent width was less than during egress ($\sim$40 Å) and the high velocity wings were much weaker. H$β$ showed a somewhat different behavior, revealing only the blue-shifted portion of the high velocity component during eclipse and egress. [OI] $λλ$6300, 6363 lines are easily seen both out of eclipse and when the photosphere is obscured and exhibit little or no flux variation with eclipse phase. Our interpretation is that KH 15D, although clearly a weak-line T Tauri star by the usual criteria, is still accreting matter from a circumstellar disk, and has a well-collimated bipolar jet. As the knife-edge of the occulting matter passes across the close stellar environment it is evidently revealing structure in the magnetosphere of this pre-main sequence star with unprecedented spatial resolution. We also show that there is only a small, perhaps marginally significant, change in the velocity of the K7 star between the maximum light and egress phases probed here.

description: First-principles calculation and anharmonic dynamical theory were used in sequence to explain a large excess heat capacity observed in yttria-stabilized zirconia in comparison with the additive rule value. It is found that the excessive shape of heat capacity decays gradually with the Y$_{2}$O$_{3}$ doping when the number of environmentally different O sites falls to its zero value at 33 mol % Y$_{2}$O$_{3}$-ZrO$_2$ due to the Y atoms adjacent. The model and results presented in this work provide a key insight into the complex behaviour and characterization of fast-ion conductors.

description: We construct a multi-country affine term structure model that contains unspanned macroeconomic and foreign exchange risks. The canonical version of the model is derived and is shown to be easy to estimate. We show that it is important to impose restrictions (including global asset pricing, carry trade fundamentals and maximal Sharpe ratios) on the prices of risk to obtain plausible decompositions of forward curves. The forecasts of interest rates and exchange rates from the restricted model match those from international survey data. Unspanned macroeconomic variables are important drivers of international term and foreign exchange risk premia as well as expected exchange rate changes.
description: Les auteurs construisent un modèle affine multinational fondé sur la structure par terme des taux d’intérêt. Ce modèle intègre les risques macroéconomiques et de change qui ne peuvent être quantifiés en observant la courbe de rendement. La version canonique du modèle est établie par dérivation et est facile à estimer. Les auteurs montrent qu’il faut imposer des restrictions (évaluation internationale des actifs, contexte fondamental d’exécution des stratégies de portage et ratios de Sharpe maximaux) aux prix du risque pour obtenir des décompositions plausibles des courbes des taux à terme. Les prévisions que le modèle produit pour les taux d’intérêt et les taux de change concordent avec celles tirées des résultats d’enquêtes internationales. Les variables macroéconomiques dont la valeur n’est pas liée à la courbe de rendement observée influent de façon importante sur les primes de terme et de risque de change à l’échelle internationale ainsi que sur les anticipations en matière de taux de change.
Capital C, geometric optimization of a free-form steel gridshell towards planar quadrilateral glass units

description: The former Diamond-exchange building in Amsterdam, now called Capital C, is restored to its former glory and currently undergoing a major renovation. This listed building has been returned to its original design and topped with a spatial gridshell roof structure of glass and steel, designed by renowned architect office ZJA Zwarts & Jansma Architects. This paper focuses on the geometric optimization of the free-form gridshell towards planar quad glass units. The final shape of the gridshell is determined by a parametric computer model. With a by ZJA in-house written program, the boundary conditions were defined, where after the software searches the ideal shape. In the case of Capital C, the ideal shape was a geometrical free-form shape but with planar or minimal curved quadrilateral glass. This to represent the faceted aesthetics of the diamond, representing the building’s heritage. In addition to the look, optimizing to planar glass panes also increased the feasibility and cost-efficiency of the design. During this process Octatube, as a specialist Design and Build contractor, was approached and challenged to realize this innovative and complex design. In principle the gridshell has one repetitive structural steel connection. However due to its shape every connection is unique and itself composed of many unique parts. In the final design, approximately 1000 different steel elements and 200 different glass units are applied. With a traditional design method, where all elements are modelled one by one, a minor change to the geometric shape of the shell would lead to a large amount of labour. A time-consuming and error-prone job. Therefore the design is automated, by means of an in-house developed parametric tool by Octatube, which converts the complex basic geometry into a FEM-model and detailed production model. The applied methods of parametric design and engineering allowed the team to not only optimize the glass-design until late in the engineering phase, incorporating a file-to-factory workflow, it also allowed for fast and very precise pre-fabrication. Not unimportant when installing a free-form glass and steel gridshell on top of a listed building in the heart of Amsterdam.

description: This paper gives an overview of recently developed model for the QCD analytic invariant charge. Its underlying idea is to bring the analyticity condition, which follows from the general principles of local Quantum Field Theory, in perturbative approach to renormalization group (RG) method. The concrete realization of the latter consists in explicit imposition of analyticity requirement on the perturbative expansion of $β$ function for the strong running coupling, with subsequent solution of the corresponding RG equation. In turn, this allows one to avoid the known difficulties originated in perturbative approximation of the RG functions. Ultimately, the proposed approach results in qualitatively new properties of the QCD invariant charge. The latter enables one to describe a wide range of the strong interaction processes both of perturbative and intrinsically nonperturbative nature.

Façade becomes structure

Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2020

description: The Green Village at the TU Delft is a living lab for sustainable innovations. The Co Creation Centre will be their new meeting centre. This centre is getting a climate tower and to get the isolation standards, triple glass was necessary. Unfortunately, the original design for the centre was too expensive. The triple glass was one of the big cost items. Then the team got the ingenious idea to use the façade as the bearing and stabilising structure. This idea made the project feasible in costs. The aim was to design a façade with as few as possible modifications compared to a standard façade. In the future Triple glass will become more and more standard. The Triple glass is structurally oversized and therefore the material is not used optimally, which makes triple glass less sustainable in using raw materials. Triple glass can be made more sustainable if we utilize this overcapacity for the structure. Using glass panels for stabilising a structure has been done before. But often it becomes a complex façade in assembly. In this façade silicone joints are used to initiate all the forces and the normal way of mounting is followed. And the team even went one step further. In the original design the building had both columns for the roof load and glass fins to take the wind loads from the façade panels. The glass fins are an expensive part of the façade. Since glass is good in compression, why not use the fins as columns? Of course the buckling of the fins is an important risk since these fins are 5.2 meters high. By clamping the fins between the glass panels the buckling risk is reduced significantly. ABT made FEM calculations using the DIANA software to find the critical parameters for this structure. It was found that the spring stiffness of the horizontal support by the façade is the most critical element. To verify the DIANA calculations two glass fins were tested at the TU Delft at the end of September 2019. By utilising the materials better the use of raw materials and the costs are significantly reduced. With that a more sustainable design was achieved. The aim is to develop this into an innovative standard system.

Performing and Counter-performing Borders: Feminist Stories of Migrant Rights Activism in the United Kingdom
Creators: name: Mukaka, Alice
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2021

description: This thesis examines the performance and performativity of migrant rights activism resisting and challenging the state bordering practices in the UK and providing a grid through which we can comprehend the multi-various migrant solidarities and struggles across the UK. The study presents an array of female voices, rising out of the current migrant rights movement. These include: a) nine women, whose journeys to becoming committed activists at the forefront of the movement are examined; b) an evaluation of the performances of Nine Lives Theatre and how it challenges conformity to dominant political scripts and c) the symbolic performances of three significant acts of resistance: Hope Space, the Yarl’s Wood demonstrations and the Refugees Welcome march. By exploring this chorus of narratives, the research enquires into the emergent interventions and developments of activism, and asks what materials, physical as well as symbolic, can be drawn upon in the ongoing task of un-scribing the state’s border markers. Situated within the feminist anti-bordering research tradition, the study combines narrative and performance-based methodological approaches and tells a story about multiple articulations of migrant dissent, whilst capturing more fully the dynamic quality of the struggle. The findings of this study point to a complexity of contingent and predisposed practices of state bordering in the asylum system and beyond. As borders are not static, so the migrant rights struggle is responsively fluid to counter them. Through narrative means and performance analysis of individuals and groups in the movement, this thesis seeks to articulate the necessity of counter-performance for sustained activism.

description: Helping students to engage in sessions focussing on plagiarism and therefore learn about the concept can be challenging. The advent of new technologies used in educational contexts may help in facilitating such engagement. This study details a small project which sought to use three technologies in an attempt to help students learn about plagiarism and to gain insights into student understandings of plagiarism. The technologies used were a student response system, a social network and online quizzes delivered via a virtual learning environment. The project outcomes suggest that students arrive at university with a variety of understandings of plagiarism and that the success of the technologies used in plagiarism education largely depends on how the activities are integrated in the curriculum.

description: Innovative glazing, which combines polycarbonate and thin glass to composite panels, ensures a slighter alternative to glass laminates with a high resistance against manual attack. Due to experimental studies, these thin glass-polycarbonate composite panels are classified as laminated safety glass and security glazing. The study describes analytical models to analyse their structural behaviour for static short time loads. In accordance to the geometrical boundary conditions of the four-point bending test, the composite panel can be described by the beam theory. A multi-layered system is calculated with the sandwich beam theory with a bending and shear deformation. Additionally, an extended approximate solution based on Wölfel is compared to the classical theory of sandwich elements as well as with experimental results.

description: We present a formalism for a first-order estimation of the magnetosphere radius of exoplanets orbiting stars in the range from 0.08 to 1.3 Mo. With this radius, we estimate the atmospheric surface that is not protected from stellar winds. We have analyzed this unprotected surface for the most extreme environment for exoplanets: GKM-type and very low-mass stars at the two limits of the habitable zone. The estimated unprotected surface makes it possible to define a likelihood for an exoplanet to retain its atmosphere. This function can be incorporated into the new habitability index SEPHI. Using different formulations in the literature in addition to stellar and exoplanet physical characteristics, we estimated the stellar magnetic induction, the main characteristics of the stellar wind, and the different star-planet interaction regions (sub- and super-Alfvénic, sub- and supersonic). With this information, we can estimate the radius of the exoplanet magnetopause and thus the exoplanet unprotected surface. We have conducted a study of the auroral aperture angles for Earth-like exoplanets orbiting the habitable zone of its star, and found different behaviors depending on whether the star is in rotational saturated or unsaturated regimes, with angles of aperture of the auroral ring above or below 36^\circ, respectively, and with different slopes for the linear relation between the auroral aperture angle at the inner edge of the habitable zone versus the difference between auroral aperture angles at the two boundaries of the habitable zone. When the planet is tidally locked, the unprotected angle increases dramatically to values higher than 40^\circ with a low likelihood of keeping its atmosphere. When the impact of stellar wind is produced in the sub-Alfvénic regime, the likelihood of keeping the atmosphere is almost zero for exoplanets orbiting very close to their star.

description: An analytic model of rotating hot spot is proposed to explain kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPO) in X-ray binaries, which is based on the magnetic coupling (MC) of a rotating black hole (BH) with its surrounding accretion disc. The hot spot in the inner region of the disc is produced by energy transferred from a spinning BH with non-axisymmetric magnetic field. The frequency and energy band of the hot spot turns out to be related to six parameters, by which the strength and the azimuthal angular region of the bulging magnetic field on the BH horizon, the mass and spin of the BH, and the power-law index of the magnetic field varying with the radial coordinate on the disc are described. In addition, the correlation of the fluctuation of the bulging magnetic field with the widths of QPO frequency is discussed.

description: In 2005, Barthel, Royston, and Babiker presented a menu-driven Stata program under the generic name of ART (assessment of resources for trials) to calculate sample size and power for complex clinical trial designs with a time-toevent or binary outcome. In this article, we describe a Stata tool called ARTPEP, which is intended to project the power and events of a trial with a time-to-event outcome into the future given patient accrual figures so far and assumptions about event rates and other defining parameters. ARTPEP has been designed to work closely with the ART program and has an associated dialog box. We illustrate the use of ARTPEP with data from a phase III trial in esophageal cancer.
ХУДОЖЕСТВЕННЫЙ ДИСКУРС: К ОПРЕДЕЛЕНИЮ ТЕРМИНА В ПЕРСПЕКТИВЕ ЛИНГВОЭСТЕТИКИ

description: В статье дается определение термина художественный дискурс с точки зрения междисциплинарного лингвоэстетического подхода. Вопрос о художественном дискурсе возникает всякий раз, когда художественное входит в язык, речь и текст. При этом художественная литература является лишь одной из разновидностей художественного дискурса в генерическом смысле. Различные формы эстетической деятельности создают художественный дискурс. Его сфера бытования – любая область вербальных высказываний в эстетической деятельности. Художественные практики ХХ в. (кино, радио, постдраматический театр, перформанс, граффити) существенно расширили границы и понятия художественного и, соответственно, объем данного понятия. В данной статье специфицируются компоненты самого термина «художественный дискурс» в попытке дать его определение с позиции лингвоэстетического подхода на стыке лингвистики, литературоведения и эстетической теории. Концепция лингвоэстетики предполагает интегральный подход к языку в его эстетической функции, к эстетике словесного творчества. Лингвоэстетическая теория на современном этапе базируется на таких основных категориях, как художественный знак, художественный семиозис, художественное сообщение, художественная коммуникация. Среди таких первичных категорий располагается и понятие художественного дискурса, под которым понимается совокупность вербальных высказываний, сформированная в результате взаимодействия автора-художника и читателя (зрителя, слушателя) посредством произведения искусства, с учетом эстетических факторов порождения и восприятия этих высказываний в конкретных видах и формах искусства.

description: This article describes the new meta-analysis command metaan, which can be used to perform fixed- or random-effects meta-analysis. Besides the standard DerSimonian and Laird approach, metaan offers a wide choice of available models: maximum likelihood, profile likelihood, restricted maximum likelihood, and a permutation model. The command reports a variety of heterogeneity measures, including Cochran’s Q, I2, H2M, and the between-studies variance estimate τ-hat2. A forest plot and a graph of the maximum likelihood function can also be generated.
On the Low-Velocity Impact Response of Laminated Glass with Different Types of Glass and Interlayers

description: An adequate understanding of the response of laminated glass structures to impact loading becomes essential to rationalise their design, which has been proven by several studies that appeared in the last years. Our study focuses on the behaviour of three-layer laminated glass plates subjected to the low-velocity impact of a steel impactor. Using combined experimental and computational analysis, we study the influence of the laminated glass composition on the response of laminated glass, crack initiation and the final fracture pattern. A polyvinyl butyral or ethylene-vinyl acetate interlayer merges annealed or heat-strengthened soda-lime-silica glass panes together so that the tested panels have the same cross-section layout. As the boundary conditions of the plate largely influence the impact performance of glass panels, the samples were suspended on thin steel ropes to avoid the effect of supports on the laminated glass response. The finite element model of this contact-impact problem, accounting for the time/temperature-dependent behaviour of two polymer interlayers, is presented and validated. Finally, we discuss the effect of the glass and foil type on the contact force and response of laminated glass plates.

description: The "Unemployment Compensation Amendments of 1976" 31e expected to insure about two-fifths of all hired agricultural workers. Large interstate variations in the proportion of workers insured result from their cliffering work histories and state's qualifying provisions. Of these insured workers, three- tenths will receive benefits, ranging from about $250 to $1,000 depending upon the state benefit schedule and the worker's employment history. Average benefits amount to 14 percent of earnings of the workers which average $3,613. Nearly one-fourth of the beneficiaries will exhaust their benefit entitlements.
Bibliothekskonsortien als Bestandteil der Open-Access-Transformation

Bibliothekskonsortien erleichtern die gemeinschaftliche Finanzierung von Publikationen durch Bibliotheken. In der Vergangenheit hat sich dieses Modell auf das Subskriptionssystem bezogen: Viele Bibliotheken nehmen gemeinsam an einem Verlagsvertrag teil, das Konsortium dient der einfacheren Abwicklung. Doch das Konsortialmodell kann auch zur Finanzierung von Open-Access-Publikationen genutzt werden. Die gemeinschaftliche Finanzierung durch wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken stellt auch eine Alternative zu rein outputbasierten Modellen dar. Die Anknüpfung an traditionelle Konsortialstrukturen und die Einbeziehung von Institutionen, aus denen heraus vergleichsweise wenig publiziert wird, können die Open-Access-Transformation weiter voranbringen. Im Vortrag werden die Herausforderungen eines solchen Ansatzes sowie mögliche Lösungsansätze dargelegt. In dem vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) geförderten Projekt KOALA (Konsortiale Open-Access-Lösungen aufbauen), das die Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB) und das Kommunikations-, Informations-, Medienzentrum (KIM) der Universität Konstanz durchführen, wird ein Finanzierungsmodell entwickelt und mindestens ein Open-Access-Konsortium für Periodika aufgebaut. In diesem Rahmen führen die Projektpartner weitere Analysen durch und begleiten die Umstellung von Periodika auf Open Access. Zusätzlich entsteht ein zentraler Helpdesk für Herausgeber*innen, die Unterstützung bei der Open-Access-Umstellung oder bei der Suche nach einer nachhaltigen Finanzierung benötigen. Die durch KOALA geschaffene Infrastruktur ermöglicht eine faire und nachhaltige Finanzierung qualitätsgesicherter Open-Access-Publikationen. Sie trägt dazu bei, finanzielle Hürden für Autor*innen abzubauen und damit die Teilhabe an Open-Access-Publikationen zu erleichtern. Der Vortrag dient der Diskussion über die Rahmenbedingungen und konkreten Aspekte von Open-Access-Konsortien im Umfeld wissenschaftlicher Bibliotheken.
