Spoke with Evelyn and Ryan about the paperclip antennas. They found the github repository with the files and a README so they're getting started on learning about the algorithm and testing out the scripts. Once they play with it and can get it running they'll start running it with different parameters for the selection methods (roulette vs tournament).
Also worked with Alex P. on figuring out the issue with the effective volumes coming out of AraSim. We have data from the eventReadIn function in AraSim for the small antennas and we don't see differences between the gains in these antennas and the actual bicone, but we still need to look at more of the quantities to compare that Amy told us about last week. We also came up with a new plot that might be interesting to look at. We think the plots look suspicious--I think it will be worthwhile to try rerunning with the same antennas but using a smaller grid spacing to see if the shape of the plots drastically changes.

Going to keep working with Alex P on resolving the small antenna effective volume issue. I'm also going to meet with Julie and Ben at 1 since Julie couldn't meet today. |

Continued to test with the Ara 0 vEff problem. Ran individuals with feed through events and individuals that gave 0 vEff had zero individuals pass still where others had consistent number pass. Used diff command and looked at AraOutput files and saw no difference except saying which events passed. Difference lies in .dat files passed into them which are generated from uan. These files are 130,000+ lines so we made a program to graph that average gain over the frequencies for the individuals and ran it with our small antennas. Interestingly, the ones that failed had higher average gains consistently than some runs that passed. Also ran this program with the Actual Bicone and the results were pretty different from the bicone and these small antenna. |
Next plan is to run our graphing code on a generation of previously large antennas generated to see if it makes any difference and maybe the problem is how these small antennas fitness scores get generated. |

We were able to dig up the old paperclip code and make a new github repository with those files so we can work on it without breaking the originals. |
Figure out how to run the paperclip code from our own machines |

Evelyn and I found the old paperclip repository on git, copied it over to our machines, and created a new repository to do our work on for the future. |
Create a dev branch and figure out how to run the algorithm. |
