OSS4EVA: Using Open-Source Tools to Fulfill Digital Preservation Requirements
This paper builds on the findings of a workshop held at the 2015 International Conference on Digital Preservation (iPRES), entitled, âUsing Open-Source Tools to Fulfill Digital Preservation Requirementsâ (OSS4PRES hereafter). This day-long workshop brought together participants from across the library and archives community, including practitioners, proprietary vendors, and representatives from open-source projects. The resulting conversations were surprisingly revealing: while OSSâ significance within the preservation landscape was made clear, participants noted that there are a number of roadblocks that discourage or altogether prevent its use in many organizations. Overcoming these challenges will be necessary to further widespread, sustainable OSS adoption within the digital preservation community. This article will mine the rich discussions that took place at OSS4PRES to (1) summarize the workshopâs key themes and major points of debate, (2) provide a comprehensive analysis of the opportunities, gaps, and challenges that using OSS entails at a philosophical, institutional, and individual level, and (3) offer a tangible set of recommendations for future work designed to broaden community engagement and enhance the sustainability of open source initiatives, drawing on both participantsâ experience as well as additional research

However, a general picture of the relative extent of ITV compared to interspecific trait variation in plant communities is still missing. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis of the relative extent of ITV within and among plant communities worldwide, using a data set encompassing 629 communities (plots) and 36 functional traits. Overall, ITV accounted for 25% of the total trait variation within communities and 32% of the total trait variation among communities on average. The relative extent of ITV tended to be greater for whole-plant (e.g. plant height) vs. organ-level traits and for leaf chemical (e.g. leaf N and P concentration) vs. leaf morphological (e.g. leaf area and thickness) traits. The relative amount of ITV decreased with increasing species richness and spatial extent, but did not vary with plant growth form or climate. These results highlight global patterns in the relative importance of ITV in plant communities, providing practical guidelines for when researchers should include ITV in trait-based community and ecosystem studies.181214061419National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship [DGE-1247399]NSF [DEB-03089]Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowship within the 7th European Community Framework Program (DiversiTraits project) [221060]European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant Project 'Ecophysiological and biophysical constraints on domestication in crop plants' [ERC-StG-2014-639706-CONSTRAINTS]European Research Council under the 7th European Community Framework Program FP7 [281422]Chilean Fondo Nacional de Desarrollo Cientifico y Tecnologico (FONDECYT) project [1120171]Czech Science Foundation [P505/12/1296]Discovery Grants from the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of CanadaSwiss National Science Foundation [PA00P3_136474, PZ00P3_148261]Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de NĂvel Superior (CAPES)Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de NĂvel Superior (CAPES)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientĂfico e TecnolĂłgico (CNPq)JSPS as a Postdoctoral Fellow for Research AbroadFundação de Amparo Ă Pesquisa do Estado de SĂŁo Paulo (FAPESP)New Zealand Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment core fundingMinistry for the Environmentproject Postdoc USB [CZ.1.07/2.3.00/30.0006]European Social FundCzech State BudgetPontifical Catholic University of Ecuadorgovernment of EcuadorAndrew W.

The garments shown here represent the Classes of \u2713, \u2712 and \u2711 . The garments were created in response to the following five design challenges: Sophomores, Class of \u2713: Re-Innovative Design: explore the properties of recycled materials other than fabric while creating a wearable piece. Print Design Project create a garment that makes optimal use of printed fabric designed by a RISD Textiles student. Juniors, Class of \u2712: Knitwear Design: explore the properties of knits and design cut-and-sew and machine-knit garments. Tailoring Project: interpret traditional tailoring techniques to create a look with a jacket. Seniors, Class of \u2711: Cocktail Collection: design a collection of contemporary cocktail apparel in collaboration with the current RISD Museum exhibition Cocktail Culture: Ritual and Invention in American Fashion, 1920-1980
