file for Ian’s phenology analysis

Ian wants to quantify the overlap of flowering time between all pairs of plants in his experiment. This following R script reads his file with the flowering schedule of all 31 plants in his experiment and writes a file called ianPhenPairs.csv that has the flowering schedule of every possible pair combination (one per line). Note that there is a separate record for each plant as a sire and dam.

# script ian.phenology.r

pp <- read.csv("https://echinaceaproject.org/wp-content/uploads/ian.phenology.final.csv")

str(pp)

p <- merge(pp,pp, by = NULL)

str(p)

31^2 == dim(p)[1]

write.csv(p, “ianPhenPairs.csv”, row.names = FALSE)

String trimmer

The string segments that came with the wheeled trimmer were 47 cm long. I used 32 cm sections for trimming rows in the CG.

Topcon GPS data

I dumped the topcon’s gps data into a csv. this data hasn’t been cleaned and contains a couple errors that have yet to be fixed, but it should be enough to flesh out some R magic to help parse the output. The point number, lat, long, and {all the entered data for the points} are comma seperated, the least being one big glob of stuff.

The first couple values are proper points but the wrong dictionary, so those will have to be done seperately.

03 July – row/position R data and csv files

I only need 680 positions/site, because the seeds will be in between the plug points. So attached is a .doc and an R file w/ the script to create 3 sites with ~680 positions in each. I have also attached the resulting .csv file, 3 columns “site”, “row”, and “pos”.

KG_row&pos_03 July.doc

KG_row&pos_03 July.R

KG_positions_03July.csv

Here’s the breakdown:
site breakdown.xls

Next steps:

  1. Assign each new.env ids to a row and position. See file: sane3blocks.csv
  2. Create labels.
  3. Put labels on envelopes.
  4. Assign each plug to a row and position (keeping in mind that they’re already randomized in the trays.)
  5. Develop planting protocol.
  6. Organize materials for planting.
  7. Mow sites.
  8. Plant.

plants for Katie

Here’s a list of plants that are available for Katie to use in inb1:

I made this list with this script :plantsForKatieKoch.r

Wireless printer connection

Hi all,
I have finally figured out how to connect to the printer via the wireless network on a PC. To make sure your computer will be able to access the printer on the network you must do the following:

1) Install the drivers for the LaserJet 2300L. I used the PCL6 driver and it seemed to work fine.
2) Once you have the drivers installed, go to control panel and click on Add Hardware (you must be connected to the wireless network to do this step).
3) When it asks, select that you have already connected the new hardware.
4) Scroll to the very bottom of the next list that appears to where it says “Add a new hardware device.”
5) Then select “Install the hardware that I manually select from a list.”
6) Select “Printers.”
7) Select “Create a new port” and have it be a standard TCP/IP port.
8) Click “next” until it asks you to enter the printers IP address, which is 10.0.0.3

The application should now be fairly straightforward. At some point you will be asked it you wish to share the printer, select no. You may also print a test copy to make sure that you are connected to the printer.

Let me know if you have questions.

Halverson Data, Head harvesting, and Landfill species list (in progress)

DATA

Here is a copy of my excel file with all my data. The sheet labeled corrected data for analysis is the file with all the data for each treatment. The sheet labeled baggins has a list of all the heads I used that need to be harvested, this was also posted in a separate post called “Baggins.” The ones labeled “donor” do not need to be harvested but should not be expected to have high seed set as they were bagged for most of their flowering time.

HARVESTING

I need all of the heads used in my project (the ones that are painted) to be harvested in egg cartons (located in the shelf above the sink in the Hjelm house). Please label the compartment of the egg carton with the row, pos and tt color of the head. The egg cartons should be packed so that they wont be disturbed during travel and please be careful with the heads so no seeds fall out! Gretel has a list of all the heads to be harvested and its posted on the flog in July (“Baggins”). Please mail the packaged heads to: 119 School Street, Keene, NH 03431

LANDFILL SPECIES

I have been collecting plants at Landfill this season and have started to compile a list of the plants I have either seen or collected there. If Megan and anyone else would like to add plants to that list that would be great! Or check my identification. This list is very rough at the moment but I will continue to update it as I get more plants identified.
