Introduction to Environmental Sustainability in Glass

In this video Rebecca Hartwell outlines the two key factors for sustainable glass design: material efficiency and energy efficiency. Material efficiency focuses on reducing the environmental impact from production to end-of-life, guided by the "9R framework". Energy efficiency concerns the glass's role in reducing a building's operational energy for heating, cooling, and lighting. The video explains that while advancements like double glazing and low-E coatings have improved energy efficiency, they often create complex, multi-material assemblies that are difficult to disassemble and recycle. Consequently, unlike container glass, most post-consumer flat glass is rarely recycled and is often downcycled or landfilled. A whole life-cycle perspective, balancing embodied and operational carbon, is essential for a sustainable glass future. The video was produced by the Open GLASSroom project.

Measuring academic impact: Journal level metrics

Journal level metrics Journal level metrics measure the influence of a journal, taking into account the number of citations received by articles published in the journal. Why can journal level metrics be important for you? JIF: Journal Impact Factor Calculation method Where to find the JIF Comparing journal based on the JIF.

Chemical/Laboratory Techniques: Greasing glass joints

This open video (CC-BY-NC-SA) was created by chemistry teachers of the Faculty of Science and Engineering of the University of Groningen for use in the lab at their faculty. The description of for the video reads the following: Chemical glassware generally comes with ground joints, the opaque parts of the glassware. These joints do not form a hermetical seal whenever an inner (male) and outer (female) joint are connected. By applying a thin strip of grease (Silicon or Teflon based), you can form an air-tight seal between the joints. This is especially useful in situations where the reaction is under a different atmosphere (like Nitrogen), under a (slight) vacuum, or contains highly volatile compounds.

Wissensaggregator Mittelalter und Frühe Neuzeit (WIAG)

The Knowledge Aggregator for the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period is a German-language website that brings together groups of datasets about the Middle Ages. Currently, the aggregator makes freely available four datasets based on inscriptions, seals, and other prosopographic sources. Those are: the Bishops of the Holy Roman Empire, the Dioceses of the Holy Roman Empire, Canons of the Holy Roman Empire, and Priests of the Diocese of Utrecht. Datasets include a variety of data, including in some cases birth dates, death dates, and positions held by historical persons.
