title: PLOS-One: "A matter of timing ..." Accompanying data and code

description: This fileset provides accompanying material for the study, "A matter of timing: identifying significant multi-dose radiotherapy improvements by numerical simulation and genetic algorithm search ", forthcoming in PLOS-One. Specifically, we provide here access to the full code to run the model and produce all data that stands behind the study, with examples for the two main modes of code use. In addition, all data either used to calibrate and validate the model or produced by model simulation runs can be downloaded. (Where multiple random seeds were run (as explained in the paper), we have provided in the data download only a single seed to reduce the size of the download.) The main purpose of providing these materials is to allow exploration of the codes used to accomplish the study, and to explore the data sets behind the study. We have not provided these materials with full replication in mind (though this is entirely possible with the materials here). We are happy to provide further details and limited support to users who wish to explore the model or data further in MATLAB. The interested user should consult the documentation provided in every code file provided in the code base.

title: Lab Weeks 5-7 Effect of Plant Density on crawling insects vs flying insects

description: Data was collected based on the number of crawling insects versus flying insects that were found within an area containing a low density, medium density and high density of plants. Two types of traps were set up in order to gather an accurate census of the data; the first trap being a pit fall trap, which was utilized to capture and examine crawling insects, while the second trap being a pan trap which was used to observe the flying insects. The 2 types of traps were placed in adjacent proximity of each other. Each pair of traps was placed approximately 5 meters apart from each other with a total of six pairs of traps per density. The first set of traps were placed on October 14th 2014 and was examined of the number of insects in each trap the following two days. The second set of traps were placed on October 21st 2014 and were also observed and recored the following two days of when they were placed. The experiment took place at the grasslands east of Stong Pond.

title: Ecological Theory

description: The experiment is to test if there is a relationship between plant density and tree BHD. To test this theory we will lay out a 100 feet trasect and select 20 adult trees along the transect. Then will be measured the DBH and calculate the plant density within 1 meter radius of the three and record the plant density. The experiment will be conducted at York University, at the Woodltot, for two weeks. In each week 20 trees will be measured.

title: Effect of sunlight on Maple Tree's

description: This experiment was done over two days at York University's Grasslands and Woodlots. On the first day, researcher's went to the Grassland's and found 20 Maple tree's. There were tree's found on the edge of the Grassland's and some near the middle area. After numbering 20 Maple tree's the researchers measured the distance from 1 of the 20 tree's to three of the closest tree's found near the Maple. This was done using a trasect tape. So the researcher would take the tape and put it on the edge of 1 Maple tree and measure the distance to the edge of any tree close to it. This was done for a total of 3 tree's that were closest to the original Maple tree. Next the researcher plucked off 3 leaves from the original Maple tree and measured its length using a centimeter ruler. The measurement was taken from the top of the leaf to just before the stem (so stem not incuded). Then the researcher had to calculate the percent open space by making a rectangle shape with his/her hand and putting it above the original tree to estimate how much light could be seen. This value was a percentage, so the researcher madean estimation. This whole procedure was done for a total of 20 seperate tree's so for the second, third, fourth...until the twentieth tree the researcher calculated the distance to 3 tree's, the leaf length and open space. On the second day the exact same procedure was done on 20 Maple tree's in the Woodlots.

title: Lab Week 6

description: The first site of the experiment was the grassland at York University’s Keele campus beside the Pond road. An adult maple tree was randomly selected in the middle of the grassland which was the warmest part of the area. To have been considered an adult tree, the maple tree had to be twice the height of one consistent student, which was about 3.4 metres. The percent open space of the tree (the amount of light the tree received), was found by one student consistently forming a rectangle with the index finger and thumb of both hands joint together. The student would raise this rectangle until it was at the top of the tree where the sun hit the leaves. The approximate measure of their rectangle that was not covered by leaves was recorded as the percent open space. A leaf was then removed from the tree. The length of the leaf from the part where the stem attached to the leaf (but not including the stem length) to the top of the leaf was measured with a ruler in centimeters and recorded. This was repeated two more times for two new leaves from the tree. To measure for density (competition), the distance to the nearest three adult trees of any species was measured with a transect in metres and recorded. This entire procedure of finding a random tree, measuring the amount of light the tree receives and density of trees in the area was repeated for twenty trees (sample size) in the grassland. This was then repeated for twenty trees in the centre of the forest as it was the coolest part of the forest. The total sample size, for both the grassland and forest, was 40 trees.

title: Effects of trash on invertebrate abundance at York University Woodlot and Grassland

description: Our group members are Jason, Coleen, Leeron, Zainab and Sanaz. The data collection for this experiment will take place during laboratory hours. Each lab is 3 hours long. Data collection will be completed during the first lab on October 14, 2014 at 2:30pm. If necessary, a second lab day will be used to continue collecting data on October 21, 2014 at 2:30pm. Our group will split up into two. Two people will go to the Woodlot, and 3 people will go to the Grassland. In order to examine the effects of trash on the abundance of invertebrates, we will randomly place 30 quadrats in the Grassland, 15 of which will be placed in areas with trash, and 15 of which will be placed in areas with no trash. For the quadrats with trash, we want to arbitrarily have 30% trash coverage, but we will make note of how much percentage of trash there actually is in our data, under “trash cover density”. The same thing will be repeated in the Woodlot. The quadrats used will be 1m by 1m provided by York University. To count the number of invertebrates in a quadrant, the entire quadrant will be observed. If an insect group (i.e. ants) is seen throughout the entire quadrant, the frequency of ants in ¼ of the quadrant will be multiplied by 4 to get the approximate number of ants in the entire quadrant. For other invertebrate groups (i.e. mosquitoes, moths, etc.) the entire quadrant will be observed and the frequency for each invertebrate group will be recorded. Later, we will identify how many different invertebrate groups there were, and how many invertebrates in total were in each quadrant for areas with, and without trash. With this data we can then study how the presence of trash affects the abundance of invertebrates. Then we can compare if there are differences between how trash affects invertebrate abundance in the Grasslands versus the Woodlot, and potential other variables in effect.

title: Native Vs Invasive Tree Lab

description: Methods The required material for the observational study include 4 transects. Buckthorn was chosen to represent invasive plants in this study, while Maple was chosen to represent a native species. The measurements will be taken in the Danby woodlot, at York University, between the hours of 2:30pm and 5:30pm. Within the woodlot, ten 20ft by 20ft quadrats will be layed with the use of transects, in a diagonal fashion (directed north-east), such that the south-west corner of the each quadrat will contact the northeast corner of the preceding quadrat. Within each quadrat, count out the total number of trees (above breast height). If the amount is overwhelming, simply divide the quadrat into 4, count the trees within the quarter, then extrapolate by multiplying by 4. Furthermore, count out every Maple (above breast height), and every Buckthorn (above breast height) in the quadrat and tally all three measures. The number of each respective species, divided by the total number of trees counted equals the density per species. Repeat this process the following week during lab to obtain a total sample size of 10 (or more, if time allows) quadrats. However, to ensure no area is double-counted on the second week, a mark on a tree, at the northeast corner of the last quadrat, will be left to indicate the starting point for the following week. Plot the DBH/Density per species. Add a line of best fit. Compare the line per species. Whichever one is higher (higher y-value) is the more fit species.

title: Lab 4 Data - Quadrats and Bait Traps near Danby Woods

description: This data was collected on two different days, on October 13, 2013 and October 20, 2013, from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm. The location was the grasslands (Oct. 13) and the woodlots (Oct. 20) in and around Danby Woods, in the York University Campus. <br>On October 13, 2013, the weather was 16°C, and using the Beaufort Scale, the wind was determined to be mildly windy through the experiment. (Source: http://www.accuweather.com/en/ca/toronto/m5g/october-weather/55488?monyr=10/1/2014) On October 20, 2013, the weather was a cooler 12°C, and using the Beaufort Scale, the wind was determined to be mildly windy, growing windier as the experiment progressed. (Source: http://www.accuweather.com/en/ca/toronto/m5g/october-weather/55488?monyr=10/1/2014) For the grasslands (Oct. 13), quadrats were set up in low, medium and high disturbance areas, and data was recorded for high, medium and low disturbance areas. Each disturbance level had 10 quadrats repeated.Each quadrat was analyzed for roughly 3-4 minutes. Data regarding the area in the quadrat, such as grass length was recorded, along with the different animals that were captured. Bait traps containing sugar and cookies on a piece of paper towel were also set up in low, medium and high disturbance areas of the grasslands on the same day, and were left for about 1.5 hours. Each level of disturbance had 3 bait traps set up.The different animals that were in the bait trap were recorded. <br>Next week, on October 20th, quadrats and bait traps were set up in the woodlot in Danby Woods. Similar to the previous setup, areas of low, medium, and high disturbance were selected and data was recorded after analyzing the quadrat for 3-4 minutes. Each level of disturbance had 10 quadrats repeated in different locations. The data comprised of the insects found in the quadrat. On the same day, bait traps containing sugar on a piece of paper towel were set up in low, medium and high disturbance areas. Each bait tra was left for 1.5 hours, and each level of disturbance had 3 different bait traps set up. The different animals that were caught in the bait trap was recorded.

title: Effects of density and sunlight on diameter of silver maple trees

description: Hypothesis The diameter at breast height (dbh) of a tree will be larger when there is a low density of trees surrounding it. This allows for more sunlight to reach that specific tree and outgrow the others for dbh. Predictions As density increases, the dbh of the sampled tree will decrease.As sunlight increases, the dbh of the sampled tree will increase.As density decreases and sunlight increases, the tree will have the highest possible dbh. Methods For this experiment, the targets were adult silver maple trees located in the woodlot at York University. This experiment aimed to measure the effects of density and sunlight on the diameter at breast height (dbh) of the sampled trees. The trees were selected randomly by walking 10 steps north and 5 steps east into the woodlot and the closest adult maple tree was chosen. An adult tree was classified as a height above 3 meters for this experiment. The dbh was measured in centimeters with a transect tape. A radius of 10 meters was measured from the sampled tree and all of the surrounding adult trees were counted within this radius. The sunlight coverage was measured with a 10 cm by 15 cm frame positioned towards the sky and canopy of the tree from its base. Sunlight was recorded as the percent of sky seen through the canopy of the tree. A distance of 5 meters from the edge of the previously sampled tree was walked along a transect and 10 steps north plus 5 steps east were taken to select the next closest maple tree. A total 35 adult maple trees were surveyed.
