title: Flower abundance and pan traps affect on insect abundance in Danby Grassland

description: This experiment was conducted in Danby grassland of York University on October 15 and 22, 2015. The area consisted of mostly dead flowers (brown stems and wilted flowers) and slightly dead grass (long grass of brown and green colour most of which did not stand straight and were flattened close to the soil) in both H (high flower areas) and L (low flower) areas. The L areas had dead leaves on the ground due to the wind blowing leaves from nearby trees. On October 15, 2015 it was cloudy (not that great lighting but enough to count the insects), had intervals of rainfall and the temperature was 17 degrees Celsius with wind speed of 23 kilometers per hour. On October 22, 2015 it was sunny (well-lit area) with temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and wind speed of 23 kilometers per hour. Both collections took place from 3:00-5:00pm. The purpose of this experiment was to test the effect that pan traps of different colours and flower presence have towards insect abundance. This effect was shown by counting the number of insects attracted and in the pan traps with soapy water in areas with and without high flower presence. The materials needed for this experiment per week are the pan trap bowls of 3 separate colours (8 yellow bowls, 8 blue and 8 white), 2 transect tapes, paper and pen to write the observations. The 4 meter transects was laid in areas where there was high flower presence (total of 20 or more flowers on either side of the 4 meter transect line) and another 4 meter transect was laid where there was low flower presence (total of 5 or less flowers on either side of the transect line). At every 1 meter 90 degrees perpendicular to the transect lines 3 bowls one of each colour (white, blue and yellow) respectively was laid on the ground. The bowls were pressed down on the grass to avoid the soapy water from being spilled before the soapy water was added. All the bowls were placed on one side of the transect tape making the white bowl the closest to the transect tape. The bowls rims were touching each other. The bowls were filled half way with soapy water. We would just use our eyes and see what half way would be. We then waited 2 hours and then visually count the abundance of insects in each bowls in both areas. This experiment was repeated the following week (October 22, 2015). The sample size was n=48 by the end of 2 weeks. The group members including myself are Simranjit Kang, Ava Kamali and Katrin Chapkis.

title: The Effect of the Amount of Light and the Abundance of Buckthorn on Native Saplings

description: The data for this lab was collected at York University's woodlot on Ocober 14, 2015 from 3:11 - 5:00 P.M and October 21, 2015 from 3:05 - 4:09 by Reena, Ratiba, Farka, Huda and Olivia. The temperature for both days were around 10 degrees celcius and was cold with a slight breeze. The second day however had more fallen leaves on the ground than the first day. The sampling began by starting at the edge of the woodlot (station 0) and walking 5 meters along a 120 meter transect towards the centre of the woodlot. At this point, a 2x2 meter measuring tape was used to form a quadrat. Three quadrats were placed to the right of the transect tape at the 5 meter mark, adjacent to it, and 3 quadrats were placed on the other side (left side) of the transect, also adjacent to it. The abundance of the native sapling (Acer) and the Buckthorn plant within each quadrat were recorded by counting each one individually. In addition, the percentage of light reaching each quadrat was recorded. To determine the percent light, an individual's hands are used to form a box. Then standing in the centre of each quadrat and looking up towards the sky, one's judgement was used in order to determine the amound of light penetrating through the canapy above, only looking though the area formed by one's hands. The percentage of light was recorded as continuous data whereas the number of quadrats and the abundance of plants and stations are discrete data. These steps were repeated every 5 meters for a total of 21 times (21 stations - every 5 meters counts as 1 station) for an overall distance of 100 meters into the centre of the woodlot. On the fist day, 0 - 50 meters were completed and on the second day, 55 - 100 meters were completed. This allowed for 126 quadrats to be sampled. The importance performing such an experiment was to observe the effect of of the abundance of Buckthorn, an invasive species, and the percentage of light available on the abundance of of the native plants (saplings) in the woodlot. The data also inspires further research into the effects of invasive species and how they are able to adapt and survive.

title: Tree Condition vs Insect Abundance at York University

description: Experiment was conducted on both the 13th and 20th of October 2015 in the Danby Woodlot at York University to observe a Maple tree's (Acer saccharum) size and condition, and how it relates to insect abundance in it's immediate vicinity. It was hypothesized that size and condition of the tree does infact impact the the insect abundance. Starting at approximatly 2:50pm each day, the first tree was selected. First it's condition and size were recorded, afterwards a quadrat was placed 1ft away from the base of the tree. All four researchers condributed to count as many insects as possible within the quadrst in a 60 second time interval. Experiment was conducted 25 times for each combination of variables (Large Dead, Large Alive, Small Dead, and Small Alive) over the 2 days. Experiment ended at approximatly 5:00pm each day. Day 1 (October 13th) was approximatly 15 degrees celcius and cloudy, with wind speeds of 10km/hour. It was noted that many fallen berries were found within the quadrats that day possibly affecting the abundance. Day 2 (October 20th) had a temperature of 17 degrees celcius with wind speeds of 11km/hour. This day many leaves were noticed covering the ground instead of the berries that had been there the week before. The other researchers from the group were Bonnie Duong, Muhammed Akrum, and Daniel Germani.

title: Experimental design: A study on grassland quality at York University

description: The dataset was collected on Monday, October 19, 2015 from 2:30pm to 5:30pm. The location was at York University’s Danby grassland. On that day, the weather was partly cloudy and slightly windy. The temperature was 14 degrees Celsius and 59% humidity. The grassland was slightly wet due to the rain from the day before. The dataset was collected in a group of four - Krystal Nguyen, Savannah Wales, Mustafa Alan and Sumera Siddiqui. The experiment was conducted to study about the soil and sunlight conditions in order to sustain the grasslands at York University. The predictions are the sunlight coverage and the moisture of soil would influence the growth of plants. The hypothesis was 100% sunlight coverage and slightly moist soil would be an optimal condition for grassland plants to grow. In order to perform the experiment, York University’s Danby grassland was chosen as it represents a good quality grassland having high abundance and distribution of many plant species. 120 quadrats were placed randomly on the ground and observed within one minute interval. Within each quadrat, number of plant species was counted by a quick eye counted and sunlight coverage was recorded based on a light coverage scale from 0 to 4, representing for 0%,25%,50%,75% and 100% sunlight coverage. The moisture of the soil was also measured based on a scale from 1 to 3, standing for dry, slightly moist and moist. The collected dataset suggests that areas (1M by 1M) having 50% sunlight coverage and slightly moist soil are optimal for about 5 plants species to grow. However, this data may be prone to error due to many possible human error that would affect the result, such as some plant species was hidden and miscounted, moisture of the soil was classified improperly, etc.

title: Field Experiment Data

description: Data collect at York University, collected on two separate occasions. First data set was collected October 13, 2015 at the Osgoode Woodlot, with the weather being 14 degrees Celsius being both cloudy and windy. The second data set was collected a week later on October 20, 2015 at the Boyer Woodlot, with the weather being 15 degrees Celsius with it being cloudy, windy and rainy. During both data sets 3 different locations were found where the canopy coverage overhead varied at 3 different levels; low, medium and high. To determine the level of coverage a square was made with our hands at arms length and made by self judgment. At each of these locations a total of 15 bowls were placed, 5 of each color; red, yellow and white. Each bowl had a fair amount of soapy water in it to capture any insects whom may wander in. After a two hour wait period the bowls were rechecked and anything caught inside the bowls were categorized.

title: A benchmark study of numerical schemes for one-dimensional arterial blood flow modelling

description: Hæmodynamical simulations using one-dimensional (1D) computational models exhibit many of the features of the systemic circulation under normal and diseased conditions. Recent interest in verifying 1D numerical schemes has led to the development of alternative experimental setups and the use of three-dimensional numerical models to acquire data not easily measured in vivo. In most studies to date, only one particular 1D scheme is tested. In this paper, we present a systematic comparison of six commonly used numerical schemes for 1D blood flow modelling: discontinuous Galerkin, locally conservative Galerkin, Galerkin least-squares finite element method, finite volume method, finite difference MacCormack method and a simplified trapezium rule method. Comparisons are made in a series of six benchmark test cases with an increasing degree of complexity. The accuracy of the numerical schemes is assessed by comparison with theoretical results, three-dimensional numerical data in compatible domains with distensible walls or experimental data in a network of silicone tubes. Results show a good agreement among all numerical schemes and their ability to capture the main features of pressure, flow and area waveforms in large arteries. All the information used in this study, including the input data for all benchmark cases, experimental data where available and numerical solutions for each scheme, is made publicly available online, providing a comprehensive reference data set to support the development of 1D models and numerical schemes.
