Leo, Julie, and I merged the two dev branches (Antenna_Database and asymBicone) onto master. I think I resolved all of the conflicts
and successfully merged. I'm going to start testing by running each setting (original, database, and asymmetric) through generation 1 to make sure |

I replaced AraSim on Eliot's user with the one we have on the shared space since I wasn't able to compile his yesterday. It compiled
correctly and I ran the loop but got the same results from last week (effective volumes that differed from the ones we got in the original and database |

Leo and I worked on the roulette algorithm to figure out why the new individuals being formed are different in the asymmetric bicone version
of the loop than the original and database versions. We made some fixes, but we came across a complicated problem. Essentially, we think that the difference |

The arasim jobs I submitted over the weekend kept failing. I've been looking for the cause but I can't pinpoint it right
now. The issue arose on Friday when I overwrote the version of Report.cc on Eliot's user with the one we have on the databse branch (but I don't |

Worked with Alex to change the roulette algorithm to implement a cut on the minimum length for the Antennas. Amy showed that we
don't want to generate antennas which are shorter than 37.5 cm in length (for each cone, so a total of 75 cm all together) because anything shorter |

We may have found the error in the asymmetric bicone. It appears there may have been two problems. First, the setup for the simulation_PEC.xmacro
script in the asymmetric version appears to have been slightly different in that the positions of the cones, relative to the positions of the coordinate |

Yesterday we started a run of the database version of the loop. The goal was to use it to replicate the results from the run we
finished yesterday using the same parameters (NPOP=8, SEEDS=10, bicone separation = 0.05 cm). We initially ran into problems with the databse which we |

Worked with Alex P on figuring out why we keep evolving towards small antennas. We think it's because the initial angle is so
large, and the standard deviation of makes it more difficult to bring the antenna within the confines of the hole by mutating the angle than by mutating |

Worked with Alex to run XF with smaller grid spacing. We're down to 0.001 cm, but below that we were getting long times on the
