title: Experimental Design Lab 1 - Field Data

description: Design Preparation To observe the effects of habitat type, and functional diversity on species richness at York University, a total of six locations were chosen. Three of which were grasslands and three of which were woodlots. The six locations chosen were: Stong Grassland, Danby Grassland, Boynton Grassland, Boyer Woodlot, Danby Woodlot and Boynton Woodlot. Each location was divided into a grid where all the quadrats were numbered. The size of each quadrat was 5 m x 5 m and every location had three quadrats that were randomly selected (with a random number generator) for every data collection period. The study occurred weekly over a course of 3 weeks and each field data collection period was consistently at the same three hour time period every week (2:30 pm – 5:30 pm). To gather data from all six locations within the three hour period, the group was divided into two pairs and both pairs collected data from three locations (out of six), both of which were randomly selected before each data collection period. Each pair carried brought with them 1-2 field guides and 1-2 transect measures and for every location, the pair had to count using steps or the transect measures to go to the selected quadrat. Data Collection To measure species richness and abundance, each pair formed a 5 m x 5 m quadrat using 1 or 2 of the transect measures taken and recorded the species that were observed as well as the number of each observed species within the quadrat. The data was recorded on a data sheet that was prepared beforehand. This process was repeated three times at each of the three locations. For those species that could not be identified, photographic evidence and/or a description of the unknown species was taken for later identification. Once all the species were identified, the functional group (forbs, shrubs, trees, grasses and herbs) for every observed species were identified and recorded. Statistical Methods To determine if the hypothesis and predications were supported or rejected, two statistical methods were used: t-test and correlation test. A t-test was used on the average species richness of all the grassland and woodlot locations to calculate the p-value. The p-value indicated if our results had been statistically significant (p-value &lt; 0.05) or not (p-value &gt; 0.05) i.e. it helped us determine if our results supported our prediction that grasslands had more species richness than woodlots. A correlation test was used to test if there was a correlation between species richness and functional groups. The test also indicated what type of correlation i.e. it indicated whether there was a positive correlation (0 &lt; correlation coefficient &lt; +1), or a negative correlation (-1 &lt; correlation coefficient &lt; 0) or no relationship at all (correlation coefficient equals approximately 0). So this test helped determine if number of tree species affected species richness negatively or if at all.

title: Mining Company's Global Supply Chain - Random Logistics Data for a Medium Size Excavator

description: The company which provided the dataset is the world leader in manufacturing of construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines and diesel-electric locomotives. The current revenue of the company is estimated to be on the order of tens of billions and they sell products and parts via a worldwide dealer network. The company sells more than 3 million products and 700,000 parts in more than 20 countries around the world every year. They operate with more than 3,000 suppliers and 3,000 dealerships and their logistics operations alone are worth more than 60 million dollars per year. The dataset provided is one example of supply chain problem for one product of the company - a medium size excavator. In the current dataset, the number of dealers, production facilities and shipping ports is the same as in the original problem; it is only the demand figures, the production capacities, the transportation times and costs and the sale prices that have been randomly generated. The figures have been randomly generated in an interval between 0 and an upper limit which is a random increase over the maximum value in the original data, according to a negative exponential distribution.

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: Synchronization, cross-docking, and decoupling in supply chain networks

description: At any distribution centre (DC), the decision of whether to synchronise inbound and outbound flows for cross-docking, or to decouple these flows by maintaining inventory, has a significant impact on supply chain performance. Key drivers of this decision, in turn, are the sizes of the discrete lots that comprise the flows. Thus, we formulate an original optimisation model that determines order lot-sizing decisions to minimise, for given constant arc flows, the sum of ordering cost and pipeline inventory cost on arcs and buffer inventory at DCs. The model employs an average throughput as a surrogate to estimate buffer inventory at facilities at which synchronisation is not economical and therefore serves to decouple inbound and outbound flows. Perfect lot-for-lot matching of shipments would impose very restrictive constraints on supply chain operations, but equality of average throughput indicates an innovative, relaxed mode of synchronisation. This mode is practicable for cross-docking by means of bulk-breaking or consolidation of shipments. A heuristic approach based on the Lagrangian relaxation and subgradient optimisation is developed for the non-linear mixed-general integer optimisation model, which is illustrated by numerical examples and tested using a benchmark data set.

title: Effects of seed colour on bird feeding preference

description: Methods: The variables including location, distance, amount of green, red, and yellow seed consumed were recorded in a three week period on October 1st, 8th, and 15th 2015. The species involved small bird species such as sparrows that are native to the York University campus (Keele campus) in Toronto, Canada. The university campus contains plenty of wildlife present in several fields and ponds. Five separate field locations throughout the campus were chosen to collect the data. Bird seed was dyed to create green, red, and yellow seed that was placed into bowls. Each bowl contained 30 grams of seed of a single colour. Bowls were placed at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 metres away from a tree in each field. A green, red, and yellow bowl was placed (3 bowls) at each distance from the tree to produce 15 bowls at each field. Five fields produced 75 bowls of seed per observation day. The order of the colours at each distance was chosen randomly by choosing a colour from a hat. After observing for 3 hours, the seeds were placed in labelled bags indicating the colour of the seed at the specified distance it was in. The seeds were weighed on a university calibrated scale to measure how much seed remained. The weight of the remaining seed was subtracted from the original weight of 30 g. This difference in amount of seed consumed differs for green, red, and yellow seed indicating a relationship between colour preference and feeding. The amount consumed at each distance also differs indicating a relationship between seed distance from the tree and feeding.

title: Mafic magmatism in the Bakhuis Granulite Belt (western Suriname): relationship with charnockite magmatism and UHT metamorphism

description: The Bakhuis Granulite Belt (BGB) is a metamorphic terrain within the Guiana Shield that experienced ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) metamorphism at 2.07–2.05 Ga. In the southwest of the BGB, the Kabalebo charnockites were emplaced at ca. 1.99 Ga and thus postdate UHT metamorphism by at least 60 Myr. Two generations of gabbroic intrusions have been recognized within the BGB, which could act as a heat source for the two UHT events. A younger generation of tholeiitic “Charlie” gabbros yields a baddeleyite U/Pb age of 1971 ± 15 Ma. The presence of a metamorphic overprint indicates that the hornblende-bearing “Moi–Moi” metagabbros predate the Charlie gabbros. Large zircons with complex zoning patterns are found in a Moi–Moi metagabbro sample. The main growth domains of these zircons give an age of 1984 ± 4 Ma, which is indistinguishable from the surrounding charnockites. Matching trace element and Hf isotope characteristics indicate that the complex zircons are derived from the charnockites. We argue that the emplacement of the metagabbros and charnockite magmatism were contemporaneous and that zircon grains from the charnockitic melt were mechanically transferred to the gabbroic bodies during magma mingling. The new ages for the gabbroic bodies in the BGB confirm that they are contemporaneous with, and the likely heat source for, charnockite magmatism, but that they are not associated with the 2.07–2.05 Ga UHT event. Furthermore, the new ages and recognition of the Moi–Moi metagabbros as an Alaskan-type complex provide the first direct evidence for late Transamazonian subduction zone magmatism in the Guiana Shield.
