Second Experiment Done

Second experiment is now done and dusted as well. The simulation has been updated to remove an entity within the biological system in question. This removal has been introduced via a parameter-driven approach, therefore the initial code relating to the entity in question is still there, but is only called when the correct parameter flag is fed in to the simulator.

Again, results are appreciably different from baseline, and again have been found to be statistically significant through use of an A-Test.

As discussed previously, the remit set was for me to perform 3 updates to simulator functionality, however due to the issues encountered regarding hardware, there is simply not enough time to perform this last update and still generate a quality project report.

I have therefore gained agreement from my supervisor that the 2 sets of experiments performed will be sufficient for the project, and that writing up the project report is now the main priority. There is now 4 weeks until we depart for San Diego, and therefore 4 weeks for me to complete the project - again, I'm sure you all remember that the firm deadline for project report submission is 31st August, but with the week away in the US my actual deadline for finishing the report moved forward by a week.
