title: Biodiversity of Insects found in the Grassland and Woodlot of York University

description: Pan traps were set on September 30th, 2014, at the grassland east of Stong pond and in the Saywell woodlot, as a mechanism of collecting and classfiying insects. This experiment occurred from 3:30 to 5:30, when it was partly cloudy and the temperature was approximately 18°C. This trap involved the use of different coloured bowls that are to attract a greater variety of insects. In this investigation blue, yellow, and white containers were used. 3 sets of 3 bowls were placed 5 meters apart along a transect, each set consisting of the three different colours. These containers were half filled with soapy water, the soap was added to break the surface tension of the water, to prevent any insects from escaping. The pan trap were placed in the beginning of the lab in places and the data was collected near the end of the time allotted. The insects captured during this time frame were then distinguished based on varying physical characteristics and through the use of an identification key.

title: Biodiversity of Insects found in the Woodslot and Grassland

description: In order to study the abundance and diversity of insects in the grassland and woods habitats, a study was conducted in the Saywell Woodslot and Grassland, east of Strong College (York University), on September 30, 2014 at approximately 3:00pm. Insect abundance was observed using a quadrat. Each quadrat area was observed for 3 minutes, and data on the total number of insects (and snails), and the number of organisms from specific Classes was recorded. First quadrat was placed randomly in the habitat; each subsequent quadrat was placed 5 metres in front of the previous quadrat. 10 replications were done in the Woodslot and 10 in the Grassland.

title: Biodiversity of Insects Found at a Woodlot and Grassland at York University

description: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the different kinds of insects found in the natural habitats around York University. The experiment was conducted on September 30, 2014 at 3 p.m. with a temperature of 19°C and an overcast sky in a grassland and woodlot; the grassland was found east of Stong pond (43.770960, -79.506432) and the woodlot was the Saywell Woodlot (43.770280, -79.508262). For this experiment pan traps, in the form of 3 sets of 3 solo bowls, were laid out in each of the grassland and woodlot and were filled 3/4 of the way with soapy water. Each set contained a white, blue and yellow bowl so that different kinds of insects would be attracted to it. The sets of bowls were placed in a triangular pattern so each bowl was touching and the 3 sets were placed approximately 1 metre away from one another. The bowls were left in their respective locations for 1.5 hours after which a count and identification of the species of insects in the bowls was made. A dichotomous key was used in order to identify the order in which the insect belonged to, then more in depth identification was used to determine the specific species.

title: Frequency of sightings of birds in York University

description: Laid down a 20m transect in 5 randomly chosen locations within a grassland area (trials 1-5), and in 5 randomly chosen locations within a woodlot area (trails 6-10). During each trial, transects were walked along while observations were made with the aid of binoculars (if needed), to find any birds that were stationary or flying. The observed variables recorded included: frequency of birds, bird species, wind measured according to the Beaufort scale, and an approximation of the distance from the observer to the bird(s). Bird species were identified using a handbook guide. The study was conducted on September 30th 2014 at York University with a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius with cloudy conditions. The grassland area of study was located east of Stong Pond (43.771218, -79.506578), where the experiment was conducted at 3:15 p.m. The woodlot area of study was in Saywell Woodlot (43.770280, -79.508262), where the experiment was conducted at 4:02 p.m. with a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius with cloudy conditions.

title: Biodiversity of insects in Graslands and Woodlot

description: It was measured the abundance of species of insects attracted by different colors in two habitats. One is the Grassland and the other is the Woodlot, both at east of Stong Pond at York University. The experiment was realized on September 30, 2014, between 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., the temperature was 19ᵒC . In the first part was distributed six bowls in different areas of the Grassland. The bowls were placed in three groups of three, forming a circle. Their colours was yellow, white and blue. They were almost full with soapy water. Then in the Woodlot was done the same procedure. Six different bowls were spreaded in three groups of three, forming a circle and almost full with soapy water. At the end of the experiment, were collected all the bowls and were counted how many insects were in each bowl and how many different species in each one.

title: Frequency of Insects in Grassland & Woodlot of York University

description: Method: On September 30, 2014, at 2:30pm our Ecology lab group, led by our teacher assistant Taylor Noble, split up into 3 groups. After walking to the grassland and woodlot area of York University – Keele Campus, each group was responsible for collecting 4 datasets. The grassland and woodlots were in decent condition despite the rain before our laboratory time, and it was still possible to observe and identify insects. Our group members were Jason, Coleen, Leeron, Zainab and Sanaz. The following dataset is for the first dataset collected. In this dataset, instead of pit fall traps, 1m by 1m quadrants were used. Ten separate quadrants were randomly placed throughout the grassland, and then throughout the woodlot. To count the number of insects in a quadrant, the entire quadrant was observed. If an insect group (i.e ants) was seen throughout the entire quadrant, the frequency of ants in ¼ of the quadrant was recorded and then multiplied by 4 to get the number of ants in the entire quadrant. For other insect groups (i.e. snails, spiders, etc.) the entire quadrant was observed and the frequency for each insect group was recorded. Later, we would be able to identify how many different insect groups there were, and how many insects in total were in each quadrant. Overall, 20 quadrants were randomly placed, 10 in the Grassland and 10 in the Woodlot and the above-mentioned procedure was done for each quadrant.

title: A small-scale experimental apparatus to study heat transfer in the vicinity of geothermal boreholes

description: This article reports on the design and construction of a small-scale laboratory tank to study transient heat transfer in innovative ground heat exchangers designs. The tank is 1.35 m high and has a diameter of 1.4 m. It is filled with well-characterized laboratory-grade sand and instrumented with precisely positioned thermocouples. Experimental results for a 73-h heat injection period followed by a 5-day recovery period for a single U-tube borehole are reported. A comparison is performed against results obtained with an axisymmetric numerical model of the ground surrounding the borehole. It is shown that the agreement between both set of results is very good indicating that accurate experimental data can be obtained with the apparatus.
