title: Ecology lab 4 - Designed experiment of group 2 (lab 08) in Keele campus on Oct 14 and Oct 21, 2015.

description: The designed experiment of group 2 was to compare the density of organism in tall grassland and short grassland. During the lab time (2:30 - 5:30) Oct 14 and Oct 21 2015, the experiment was conducted and data was collected. The location was the grassland beside the law school, both tall grassland and short grassland located there. The quadrat technique was applied to this experiment. There were 5 people in group 2, 2 person were assigned to one group and 3 person were assigned to the other one. The quadrat were set randomly and 30 spots was sampled in each area (tall grassland and short grassland).<br>One was assigned to the 2 people's group and responsible for setting the quadrat while the partner was responsible for recording data. Once the quadrat was set, the height of the grass was measured and the number of grass was counted. In tall grassland, only the tall grasses were counted and in short grassland, the quadrat was divided into 4 section and the grass in one of the section was counted due to the fact that the short grasses were growing crowded. Then the number of insects was counted and recorded. The quadrat was set randomly but still with the following rules: the adjacent spots for setting quadrats were at least 2 meters away from each other; spots with different height of plants were chosen to set quadrat; no same spot was sampled twice. The whole area was divided into 2 and each group was responsible for one. The reason for this was to avoid the same place being sampling twice. It was a sunny day in the first lab, the temperature was between 12 to 20 Celsius degree. It was colder on the day of the second lab, the temperature was between 6 to 14 Celsius degree and with light rain.<br>Group member of the 2 people's group: Franz Gutierrez, Ming Yang.<br>Group member of the 3 people's group: Danti Cosentino, Davis Arkilander, Dhruvil Patel.

title: Nūbat Ramal al-Māya in Cultural Context: The Pen, the Voice, the Text

description: These audio files present selections from a live performance of <em>Nūbat Ramal al-Māya</em> by the Jawq Brihi orchestra of Fez, under the direction of the late ʿAbd al-Krīm ar-Rāyis. The original recording is of unknown provenance, and was recorded in the early 1980s. In this unique edition, Carl Davila takes an original approach to the texts of the modern Moroccan Andalusian music tradition. This volume offers a literary-critical analysis and English translation of the texts of this <em>nūba</em>, studies their linguistic and thematic features, and compares them with key manuscripts and published anthologies. Four introductory chapters and four appendices discuss the role of orality in the tradition and the manuscripts that lie behind the print anthologies. Two supplements cross-reference key poetic images in English and Arabic, and provide information on known authors of the texts. This groundbreaking contribution will interest scholars and students of pre-modern Arabic poetry, <em>muwashshaḥāt</em>, Andalusian music traditions, Arabic Studies, orality, and sociolinguistics.

title: Week 6 and 7: Experimental Design, Field Experiment

description: Data Set 1: Approximately seventy-two pan traps were dispersed on the Arboretum Grassland near the Stong Pond at York University’s Keele Campus over two days that were one week apart (thirty-six pan traps per day). The pan traps were divided into three colours, red (R), yellow (Y), and white (W), and were equally split up between the three designated locations within the grassland. In each location, either mid-grassland (M), close to the edge of the grassland nearest the pond (P), or close to the edge of the grassland opposite the pond (E), the equal amount of coloured pan traps (4 per colour per location) were randomly set up with at least 1 meter separating each pan trap. The pan traps were then left for approximately one and a half hours. At the end of the two hours, the pan traps were collected, and the number of insects caught in the soapy water of the pan trap, the colour of the pan and the location of the trap, were recorded. Data Set 2: Coloured pan traps was placed around York University's Keele Campus (either red (R), white (W), blue (B), or yellow (Y)). The traps were set up in wooded areas, either by Willia Smalls Centre (WSC), the Stong Woodlot (SWL), another woodlot on campus (WL), the Danby Woods (D), by Vari Hall (V), or by Lassonde Building (L). Each trap was set up randomly within the woodlots with at least one meter separating each pan. After being left for approximatley one hour and thirty minutes, the insect caught in the soapy water of the pan trap were documented. This was done over the course of 2 days, exactly one week apart.

title: BIOL 2050 Labs 5 + 6, Invertebrate abundance and diversity in grassland and pond environments

description: Data was collected for field experiment near York University's Stong Pond west of the Osgoode woodlot on October 14th and 21st 2015. It was 13 degrees Celsius on the 14th with a Beaufort number of 4, and 11 degrees Celsius with a Beaufort number of 3 on the 21st. 36 pan traps (12 each of blue, yellow, and white) were placed in a rarely mowed rectangular area roughly 5 m by 25 m, with one edge touching the waterline of Stong Pond. Starting from the edge of the water, a 25 m long transect was placed. Every 5 m interval (0 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, and 25 m) another transect 5m in length was placed perpindicular to the first 25 m transect and roughly parallel to the water's edge. Along each of these secondary transects 6 pan traps were evenly distrbuted, 2 of each colour, so that there was a trap every 1 m within each row. To randomize the trap colours each of the 6 spots within each row were given a number between 1 - 6. A die would be rolled, and for each bowl, the number rolled would correspond to a spot on the transect row. Rolls for spots already taken were rerolled until that row was filled with bowls (2 each of yellow, blue, and white). This was repeated for each row until there were 36 total traps placed. Each trap was filled one quarter of the way up with soapy water, starting with traps closet to the water, then working eastward. After 1.5 hours had elapsed the traps were observed and data was recorded on the number and species of intertebrates found, most of which were insects. Plant species diversity was also recorded for each row of 6 traps. Only plant species that touched or crossed the transect for each row perpendicular to the water were recorded.

title: The Synoptic Art Experience

description: At the start of the 20th century, Moritz von Rohr invented the synopter: a device that removes 3D depth cues that arise from binocular disparities and vergence. In the absence of these visual cues, the observer is less aware of the physical flatness of the picture. This results in a surprisingly increased depth impression of pictorial space, historically known as the ‘plastic effect’. In this paper we present a practical design to produce a synopter and explore which elements of a painting influence the plastic effect. In the first experiment we showed 22 different paintings to a total of 35 observers, and found that they rate the synoptic effect rather consistent over the various paintings. Subsequent analyses indicated that at least three pictorial cues were relevant for the synoptic effect: figure–ground con­trast, compositional depth and shadows. In experiment 2, we used manipulated pictures where we tried to strengthen or weaken these cues. In all three cases we found at least one effect that confirmed our hypothesis. We also found substantial individual differences: some observers experience little effect, while others are very surprised by the effect. A stereo acuity test revealed that these differences could not be attributed to how well disparities are detected. Lastly, we informally tested our newly designed synopter in museums and found similar idiosyncratic appraisal. But the device also turned out to facilitate discussions among visitors.

title: Experimental Design Lab - Golden Rod Field Data

description: To examine the effect of proximity to water and pollution on plant health, we have selected the Golden Rod as our test plant species. After researching metrics of Golden Rod health, we've concluded that the best controls include individual stem yield, base stem width and plant height to measure population health. To control for variability within each species, we have chosen two plots on York University's Keele Campus. The first plot of data was gathered in the wetlands at Stong Pond and represents our wet ecosystem dataset while the second plot was gathered in the in the York Boulevard Woodlot / York University Busway and represents our dry ecosystem dataset. In each plot, we set up 3 pollution measurement devices which use petroleum as an adhesive to capture particulates of air pollution. These measurement devices were left in the field for exactly 5 days and were analyzed for content in the laboratory thereafter. Our field data collection includes a total of 5 transects per plot with 15-20 individual measurments per transect. We've collected measurments of plant height, base stem width, colour, perceived health and stem abundance, all recorded along a transect with the use of a measuring tape and a tally sheet. <br><br>Plant Height represents the measurment from base to leading stem in meters. Base stem width represents the distance in centimeters at the base of the plant stem. Colour and perceived health are arbitrary values which follow a score of 0-2 and will be attributed to either life cycle or health. Lastly, stem abundance includes all branching stems or flowering stems from the base of the plant to the top. The large sample size has allowed us to control for changes in water content throughout the two plots. Once all 5-6 transects were taken in each plot, we input the data into an excel spreadsheet for further analysis. Due to inconsistencies in the pollution measurement data, we will discuss whether a particulate density score of low and moderate will be included in our final results. If used, we will correlate this with the health data in each plot and examine if our experimental controls had a significant impact on the population health of the Golden Rod.

title: Affect of human traffic and urbanization on insect abundance and traffic

description: This experiment is looking at abundance and diversity of insects and if that is affected by human activity in high and low traffic areas at York University. High traffic areas are defined as areas that no ground is showing ie the ground is covered by concrete and more than 5 people walk by going in one direction in 10 seconds. The low traffic areas are deemed by having no person walk through the area during 1 minute and having nature ie trees, shrubs, grass and no concrete on the ground.Three locations were visited each week for two weeks, October 14th and 21st. The three locations of low traffic are are the woodlot behind Osgood Law School, the Danby woods/woodlot and the woods/woodlot surrounding Stong Pond. The high traffic areas in front of Lassonde School of Engineering, in front of Vari Hall/the bus loop and in front of Stong college. The 4 group members spilt into teams of 2 for time conservation since some of the locations were on opposite sides of York Univeristy. At each location,10 pan traps were placed and collected at 1.5 hours. The pan traps were undisturbed for the full 1.5 hours. The locations of the pan traps were randomly selected and placed 1 meter apart. The pan traps were placed within the brushes at each location to unsure the highest number of bugs caught and for location of high traffic so no person would kick or knock over the trap. The insect abundance and diveristy using RTU's were recorded. We are observing how much of an impact has human activity affected biotic-biotic interactions.

title: The Comparison of R.cathartica and Acer at Danby

description: The data was collected on October 14th, and October 21st, 2015 at Danby’s Woodlot located at York University Keele Campus. At the beginning of the data collection, a member from the group noted down the time, weather conditions, and other information about the woodlot then proceeded towards data collection. To begin with, a 100m transect using the tape measures was set up from a randomly chosen edge to the middle of the woodlot. The samples were taken at every 5m starting from 0m that were labelled as station in a consecutive order. At each station sample 1, 2, 3 were taken on the right side of transect by Reena and Olivia. On the other side, sample 4 to 6 were taken by Fara, Huda, and Ratiba. To obtain the samples, a 2mX2m quadrat was set up using the tape measures; in which , the following was collected. First, the abundance of native seedlings in the quadrat was determined by counting the number of native seedlings present in the quadrat. The native plant that was incorporated for the native tree seedling sample was Acer. Since, it was observed as the dominant native species in the woodlot. Moreover, the seedlings of 50-120cm, and with orange, green, red and yellow maple leaves were visually determined and counted. Secondly, the abundance of R.cathartica shrub was determined. In the quadrat to do this large trees with black berried along with smaller plants about the same size as the Acer seedlings were incorporated. These R.cathartica was visually identified based on the leaf shape, and the presence of black berries on the large trees. In addition, the unchanged colour green made the invader more distinguishable. Third, percentage of light in each quadrat was measured by standing at a random point in the quadrat. The extent of canopy coverage was determined to see how much light is reaching the ground. A square is made using the fingers of the observer and held up. The percentage of the square not covered by the trees is the percentage of light reaching the ground. This information was collected for each variable.

title: FracKin data at Old Woman Wash

description: This file consists of tab-delimited values in five columns, representing input to FracKin.m. The first row provides instructions to FracKin.m. The first value is strike (rhr) of layering and the second value is dip of layering. The following three values must be either 0 or 1: plot as measured (0) vs plot with layering restored to horizontal (1); plot discontinuity surfaces and movement directions (0) vs plot maximum and minimum principal strains (1); plot intermediate principal strains (0) vs onit intermediate principal strains (1). Each subsequent line represents a single displacement discontinuity in terms of four numerical values (in degrees) and a single letter for sense-of-movement. The first column indicates strike (rhr) of the discontinuity; second column indicates dip of discontinuity; third column indicates trend (downward) of movement direction; fourth column indicates plunge of movement direction. The fifth column indicates opening (O), closing (C), normal (N), thrust (T), right (R), or left (L). Content in this file represents 85 displacement discontinuities at Old Woman Wash, formated as input to FracKin.m.
