title: Grassland Dataset 2 - Comparison of Goldenrod Characteristics

description: Methods <br>This study compares several characteristics of 18 individual goldenrod (<em>Solidago spp</em>) plants using transects. The data was collected by a group of four ecology students on Wednesday, September 23, 2015, between approximately 3:00pm and 4:30pm and was taken from a grassland located just East of Stong Pond on the South-West side of York University. For this study, two of the four group members randomly chose a position in the grassland to lay down the transect tape. Once in place, the two members walked along the tape untill a goldenrod was spotted. One team member would then measure how far the plant was from the transect tape. If it was less than 1 metre away, then the distance of the plant from the initial start of the tape was measured in metres. Using another transect tape the height of the plant was then measured in metres, starting from the ground to the highest point of the plant. Meanwhile, the other group member began counting the number of leaves on the plant that were longer than 1 inch (this did not include any dead leaves that had over 50% discolouration), as well as the number of flower clusters (groups of flowers on the same branch). To ensure that the measuring and counting remained consistant, the same group member measured the distance and height for each plant observed, and the other group member counted the leaves and flowers for each plant. The area (within 50 cm) around each plant was then observed and given a rating between 0 and 3 (0 = open, 1 = some plants nearby, 2 = quite a few plants, 3 = very crowded bunch of plants) based on how crowded the patch was. <br>Group members: Israt, Chris, Murtuza

title: Relationship between adult tree and sapling in Danby woodlot

description: This lab was done at Danby woodlot located at York University. The class was divided into groups of 4 or 5. My group members are Jordan Deosamy, Mandy Huynh and Dylan Stoll. Before the lab began a particular specie of tree had to be chosen. Maple was picked because it was the most common one. 10 adult maple trees with saplings beside them were selected at random. The distance between the adult maple tree and the sapling was measured for the 10 trees using a transect. The transect was laid out from the adult tree to the sapling. This was measured in feet. After that the DBH (Diameter at breast height) was measured for both the adult tree and sapling also using a transect. The transect was put at chest level of the adult tree trunks and sapling (depending on the height). This was done for all 10 adult trees and saplings. It was measured in inches. Finally the canopy coverage was measured by using fingers to make a square and holding it up to make an estimate depending on how much sky could be seen from between the leaves of the adult tree. This was estimated in percentage. The purpose of finding the distance between the adult tree and sapling is to see if there is a relationship between the sapling and adult tree. The canopy coverage was taken to see how much effect tree coverage has on the environment. The environmental condition during the lab was cool.

title: Group 3: Dataset 2: Grassland data collection using transects and the plant Purple Aster (Aster prenathoides)

description: Two transect tape was used to collect data, along with observations which were recorded on paper. One transect was placed on the ground of a randomly selected area within the grassland. A visible plant species which was easy to spot "Purple Aster <em>(Aster prenathoides</em>)" was then select. This is the targeted plant species. Each time the Purple Aster plant was spotted along the randomly placed transect it was studied and data recorded. Using a second transect, the height of the Purple Aster was measured along with the marked distance it was found on the first transect tape on the ground.By visual observation the number of leaves and number of flowers were estimated and recorded. The level of crowding was also estimated and recorded. The level of crowding determines whether the plant selected was in a crowded patch of other plants within approximately 50 cm. A scale 0-3 was used. 0=open, 1=some plants nearby, 2=quite a few plants, and 3=very crowded bunch of plants. The height, distance, level of crowding and number of flowers and leave was collected for twenty individual Purple Aster .All measurements were taken in feets and inches, then later converted to meters with aid of a calculator. This data was collected in the grassland area at York University Keele Campus in Ecology(BIOL2050) lab section 03 on September 23,2015. Lab was conducted on a sunny afternoon with the temperature average of 24 degrees celsius, at approximately 3:00-4:00pm. Data was collected by the following five members of group number three (3): Shaneil.H, Mary.H, Gamasayini.K, Prachi and Anthoni.

title: Ecology Group 4 Wk3 Dataset 3

description: A transect was laid out at the woodlot at York university, Toronto Canada. The transect was laid from the outside edge of the woodlot to the center of the woodlot. Next a measurement of approximately 6 feet was assigned to find an innitial tree. From here the distance between it and the nearest adult tree (adult tree being discribed as one being at least 12 feet in height) of any species was measured with a second transect and recorded. Next the diameter at breast height (approximately 3' 5" from the ground) was taken of both trees and recorded. condition was also defined for both trees as a number variable between 0 and 2. The condition was estimated relative to the surrounding trees, 0 meaning dead and 2 meaning a full canopy of leaves. The purpose of this experiment was to find if the density of the woodlot would increase, in other words if the distance between 2 adult trees would decrease, as one walked farther into the woodlot. Further experimentation to be done in this area could be comparing the density (in the same way it was done here) at the edge of the woodlot closest to the nearby road and measuring tree density farther away from said road and comparing the data.

title: Week 3 - Lab 2 Field training with plants (Grassland dataset 2)

description: On Tuesday September 22, 2015, data was collected from 50 individuals of the Goldenrod plant genus at the grasslands of York University found north of Pond Road. Transect tape was placed randomly in an area where Goldenrod abundance was noticeable. The distance of the encounter with each replicate was recorded in metres using the transect tape. A new location within the woodlot was randomly selected after 10 metres of sampling. The replicates height was measured in metres using the transect tape. The replicates also had their number of living leaves and number of flower bundles counted. The living leaves included all leaves that retained their green colour by over 50% of the leaf's surface area. One flower bundle consisted of all the flowers branching off of one branch and coming in contact with eachother. A crowd level measure (0=low crowding, 1=medium crowding, 2=high crowding) was used to specify the distribution of plants and the amount of separation between replicates.

title: BIOL2050 Lab 2 Dataset 4

description: This dataset for the second BIOL2050 was conducted at the Osgoode Woodlot on Tuesday September 22, 2015. The temperature in the area during the time of the data collection was roughly 24o C with sunny skies and little to no wind. The subject of the dataset was Ulmus or adult Elm trees and their nearest saplings. E.Chau, S.Lam and A.Riyat collected the data for this dataset with S.Govinda recording all of the results. A transect tape was used to collect all of the data. First, an elm tree was randomly selected. The diameter of the trunk of the tree was measured in meters at chest height. The canopy coverage of the tree was then estimated by standing at the base of the tree and glancing up towards sky and looking through a rectangle you make by joining the index and thumb from both hands. The amount of foliage that made up your field of view through the rectangle in comparison to open sky was given a percent value (ex. Half sky and half foliage was given a 50% canopy coverage value). Following canopy coverage, the nearest sapling elm tree was identified. The distance between the adult and the sapling was measured, again using the transect tape and in meters. The diameter of the trunk of the sapling at chest height in meters was also recorded. This process of measuring the DBH (diameter breast height) of the adult & sapling trees as well as the canopy coverage of the adult elm trees was repeated for 9 other adult and sapling pairs and all of the data was recorded in a data table.

title: Experimental Investigation of a Helical Coil Heat Exchanger

description: Helical coil heat exchangers are one of the most common equipment found in many industrial applications. Helical coil heat exchanger is one of the devices which are used for the recovery system. The helical coil heat exchangers can be made in the form of a shell and tube heat exchangers and can be used for industrial applications such as power generation, nuclear industry, process plants, heat recovery systems, refrigeration, food industry etc. In our work we had designed, fabricated and experimentally analysed a helical coil heat exchanger and a straight tube heat exchanger. From the observations and calculations, the results of the helical coil heat exchanger and straight tube heat exchanger are obtained and are compared. From our obtained results, the helical coil heat exchanger showed increase in the heat transfer rate, effectiveness and overall heat transfer coefficient over the straight tube heat exchanger on all mass flow rates and operating conditions. The centrifugal force due to the curvature of the tube results in the secondary flow development which enhances the heat transfer rate. Comparative study shows that helical coil heat exchanger is having better performance that straight tube heat exchanger.

title: Fuzzy Models for Teaching Assessment

description: The concept of teaching is the fundamental study of student’s cognitive action. In this paper a Trapezoidal Fuzzy Assessment model (TFAM) is developed for teaching assessment. The TFAM is a new variation of a special form, which is used in Fuzzy mathematics centre of gravity(COG) defuzzification technique. The TFAM’s new idea is the replacement of the rectangles appearing in the graph of the COG method by isosceles trapezoids sharing common parts, thus covering the ambiguous cases of teachers’ scores being at the limits between two successive grades (e.g between A and B). A classroom application is also presented in which the outcomes of the COG and TFAM methods are compared with those of other traditional assessment methods (calculation of means and GPA index) and explanations are provided for the differences appeared among these outcomes .

title: Effect of Isolate of Trichoderma Sp. And Incubation Period to Glucose Production

description: This study was carried out to determine the effect of isolates of Trichoderma sp. and the incubation period to glucose production. A glucose produced by the three isolates of Trichoderma sp. (TV.0209, TV.0305 and TV.0710) which were obtained from the collection of the Laboratory of Microbiology, Department of Chemical Engineering of The State Polytechnic of Malang. It was determined that the isolates had a significant correlation in producing glucose with incubation period for 10 days. Data were then analyzed using two-way anova with the alpha of 5% and using Microsoft Excel. Isolate TV.0209 was capable to produce the highest average of a total glucose production (3,616 ppm) when compared with TV.0305 (3,253 ppm) and TV.0710 (2,448 ppm). The optimum incubation period of treatment isolate variables was achieved during 6 days.
