Title: SYMMETRY CHARGES ON REDUCED PHASE SPACE AND ASYMPTOTIC FLATNESS.
Creator: Tan, Hongwei, Han, Muxin, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Physics, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science
Abstract/Description: Though general relativity (GR) is proven to be a successful theory in describing the macroscopical nature of our universe, it still has several problems to be resolved. One of them is known as the time problem of GR. GR is a pure constraint theory, and the time evolution of the system is a gauge transformation, without carrying any physical information.

Show moreThough general relativity (GR) is proven to be a successful theory in describing the macroscopical nature of our universe, it still has several problems to be resolved. One of them is known as the time problem of GR. GR is a pure constraint theory, and the time evolution of the system is a gauge transformation, without carrying any physical information. One potential resolution to this issue is the relational formalism, which considers the dynamics of a material frame by coupling it to gravity. This approach allows for constructing gauge invariant observables and subsequent quantization. One realization of the relational formalism is the Brown-Kuchaˇr formalism. In this formalism, the gravity couples Brown-Kuchaˇr dust fields, and the Brown-Kuchaˇr dust fields play the roles as a family of observers. Then, one can introduce a gauge fixing scheme to the system and construct gauge invariant observables (Dirac observables) in the reduced phase Space. The probe time of the dust plays the role as the physical time of each point of the spacetime. In this thesis, we consider the Brown-Kuchaˇr formalism in an asymptotically flat background. A set of boundary conditions for the asymptotic flatness are formulated for Dirac observables on the reduced phase space. We compute the boundary term of the physical Hamiltonian, which is identical to the ADM mass. We construct a set of the symmetry charges on the reduced phase space, which encompass both the bulk terms and the boundary terms are conserved by the physical Hamiltonian evolution. The symmetry charges generate transformations preserving the asymptotically flat boundary conditions. Under the reduced-phase space Poisson bracket, the symmetry charges form an infinite dimensional Lie algebra AG after adding a central charge. A suitable quotient of AG is analogous to the BMS algebra at spatial infinity by Henneaux and Troessaert.

Published reports of B. vittatus have been reported from 11 Florida counties (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Monroe, Collier, Lee, Hendry, and Manatee). In addition, there have been additional unpublished photographic records uploaded to iNaturalist from two more counties (Pinellas and Brevard). These additions expand the known northern range of B. vittatus on both the East and West coasts of Florida.

Title: Intraspecific aggression in the brown rover ant, Brachymyrmex obscurior.
Creator: Ruddock, Whitney A., Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College
Abstract/Description: Invasive ant species often show unicoloniality, forming networks of connected colonies (i.e. supercolonies), which may extend hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. These "supercolonies" lack intraspecific aggression, thus fighting between colonies is absent. Unicoloniality may be an adaptive mechanism that allows for invasive ant species to reach higher population density and achieve ecological dominance. We used aggression assays to study unicoloniality within and between colonies of the...
Show moreInvasive ant species often show unicoloniality, forming networks of connected colonies (i.e. supercolonies), which may extend hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. These "supercolonies" lack intraspecific aggression, thus fighting between colonies is absent. Unicoloniality may be an adaptive mechanism that allows for invasive ant species to reach higher population density and achieve ecological dominance. We used aggression assays to study unicoloniality within and between colonies of the invasive brown rover ant, Brachymyrmex obscurior on the Florida Atlantic University campus in Jupiter, FL. We found that the four B. obscurior colonies could be behaviorally divided into two areas: workers from both colonies in either region never showed intraspecific aggression while workers from colonies in opposing areas always showed intraspecific aggression, often fighting to the death. Thus, B. obscurior appears to show very localized unicoloniality, with neighboring colonies forming small supercolonies.

Show moreA brown tide bloom of the pelagophyte Aureoumbra lagunensis caused significant impacts to north Indian River Lagoon (IRL) in 2012-2013, including seagrass die-offs, fish kills, and reduced growth and grazing of ecologically important bivalves. There is potential for another pelagophyte, Aureococcus anophagefferens, to expand into this system. Filtration rates (FR) of the pleated tunicate Styela plicata exposed to Aureoumbra lagunensis and Aureococcus anophagefferens were measured against exposure to a control alga (Tisochrysis lutea) in order to determine its potential use as a bioremediator against these harmful algal blooms (HABs). In addition, whether S. plicata might serve as a vector of HABs was studied by culturing fecal deposits. Short-term exposure to HABs significantly reduced FR, whereas long-term exposure indicates comparable cell removal compared to the control. Vector potential of S. plicata was inconclusive. Results warrant further research to determine whether S. plicata can acclimate or respond to HAB conditions over time.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to examine and describe the relationship between a school's percentage of African American students enrolled and the placement of an African American principal for all of Florida's K-12 traditional public schools during the academic year 2010-2011. This study also sought to determine if this relationship was moderated by each school's level, size, letter grade, socioeconomic status (FRL), gender of principal, as well as gender and race of the presiding district superintendent. Lastly, the relationship between each moderator variable and the placement of African American principals was examined. The ultimate objective was to determine if limited opportunities still widely exist in the placement of African American principals throughout Florida. ... From a legal perspective, although Brown and its progeny of civil rights laws valiantly set out to eliminate race and racism from schools and in the workplace, the findings revealed that race continues to be a factor in determining inequity in principal placements.

Title: Are the regulatory reforms working?: evidence from audit committee members' selection of auditors.
Creator: Looknanan-Brown, Veena., College of Business, School of Accounting
Abstract/Description: The Sarbanes-Oxley Act made audit committees directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, and supervision of companies' auditors. Limited research in the auditor selection process and PCAOB inspections suggest that managers, not audit committees, may still be selecting the auditors, and that inspection reports are not useful. This study addresses both of these areas. This paper considers two theories of governance, Agency Theory and Institution Theory, to analyze the audit...
Show moreThe Sarbanes-Oxley Act made audit committees directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, and supervision of companies' auditors. Limited research in the auditor selection process and PCAOB inspections suggest that managers, not audit committees, may still be selecting the auditors, and that inspection reports are not useful. This study addresses both of these areas. This paper considers two theories of governance, Agency Theory and Institution Theory, to analyze the audit committee members' auditor selection process. The study examines whether Audit Committee Members use two specific types of audit quality indicators, other than managers' recommendation, in evaluating auditors. In a setting where the manager recommends the auditor, the auditors' inspection results (favorable/unfavorable) and a prior manager/auditor affiliation (absent/present) are manipulated in a between-subject research design, using financially literate professionals as a proxy for audit committee members. The study finds that audit quality perception and auditor selection are jointly determined. Inspection results are positively associated with audit quality perception and auditor selection. The nature of a manager-auditor affiliation is directly associated with audit quality perception and inversely related to auditor selection. Further, controlling for perception, audit committee members are more likely to recommend auditors with unfavorable inspection results, if a prior affiliation with management is present than if an affiliation is absent. Overall, the results indicate that audit committee members are diligent in evaluating auditors, and PCAOB inspection results are useful. The results of this study contribute to the audit committee effectiveness and PCAOB literature.
