Show moreCurrently, one of the most critical research priorities in wildlife science is to understand, describe, and predict how the unprecedented rate of climate change will impact organisms and ecosystems. This is particularly essential for thermally sensitive organisms that are already imperiled, such as turtles. For all known turtle species, the nest incubation environment plays a critical role in many developmental processes which can directly influence a number of phenotypic traits, such as body size, mass, locomotor performance, behavior and even sex. Most chelonians (and all extant marine turtles) possess a mechanism known as temperature dependent sex determination (TSD), whereby gonads differentiate into ovaries or testes depending on the incubation temperature of the eggs during a critical period of embryonic development. The rapid rate of climate change highlights the need for a clear understanding of how potential changes in the nest environment will affect turtle development and hatchling phenotype. However, it is poorly understood how different environmental factors interact with the embryo’s own genetic program to produce a specific phenotype. My thesis aims to (i) provide a better understanding of the complex relationship between the developing embryo and the nest environment and its effect on hatchling phenotype, and (ii) offer a solution to the difficulties associated with identifying primary sex ratios in turtle species with TSD.

Show moreOne of the major causes of structural repairs worldwide is the corrosion of reinforced concrete structures, such as residential buildings and piers, which are exposed to harsh marine environments. This investigation aims to provide experimental evidence of the fire resistance of corroded high strength reinforced concrete. For this, 14 reinforced concrete beams of three different concrete mix designs (different strengths) were prepared along with concrete cylinders for compression strength testing (ASTM C39). After proper moist curing, all beams were corroded, in two phases, with impressed current, then “crack scored ”for corrosion evaluation, after which half were exposed to fire, also in two phases, following the ASTM E-119-12 time-temperature curve, using a gas kiln. The fire damage was evaluated and compared between phases by using Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity technology. Finally, all specimens were tested for flexural strength by using the third-point loading method (ASTM C78) and the effects of fire on the corroded beams were analyzed according to the level of corrosion.

Show moreClimate change has the potential to expose sea turtle nests to higher temperatures, which may negatively impact sea turtle hatchling vigor. In this study, loggerhead and green hatchlings were sampled from the Boca Raton, Florida beach and via lab incubation, and hatchling vigor was determined. Elevated nest temperatures decreased loggerhead and green turtle hatchling performance and corticosterone levels, with the most significant effects found in hatchlings exposed to maximum incubation temperatures above 35°C during late development. Lab-incubated loggerhead post-hatchling corticosterone levels and growth rates were also determined. The differences seen in corticosterone levels with overall nest incubation temperatures, mean temperatures during early, middle or late stages of development, and its negative correlation with hatchling performance improves our understanding of the underlying physiological mechanisms linking elevated incubation temperatures and sub-lethal physiological effects that may significantly impact hatchling survival, a critical step for sea turtle conservation in south Florida and elsewhere.

Title: The effect of ambient temperature on serotonin syndrome.
Creator: Krishnamoorthy, Swapna., Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine
Abstract/Description: Serotonin syndrome (SS) is a drug-induced toxicity caused by an excess of serotonin (5-HT) in the central nervous system (CNS). The symptoms of the disorder range from mild to severe, with the severe state evoking life-threatening hyperthermia. Autonomic dysfunction is controlled in part by serotonin receptors, with the 5-HT2A receptor responsible for increasing core body temperature (Tcor). Our results show that the 5-HT2A receptors on the preoptic/anterior hypothalamus (PO/AH) and...
Show moreSerotonin syndrome (SS) is a drug-induced toxicity caused by an excess of serotonin (5-HT) in the central nervous system (CNS). The symptoms of the disorder range from mild to severe, with the severe state evoking life-threatening hyperthermia. Autonomic dysfunction is controlled in part by serotonin receptors, with the 5-HT2A receptor responsible for increasing core body temperature (Tcor). Our results show that the 5-HT2A receptors on the preoptic/anterior hypothalamus (PO/AH) and prefrontal cortex (PFC), in particular, are sensitive to changes in ambient temperature (Tamb). The toxic increase of 5-HT is postulated to occur due to the temperature-dependent activation of these receptors that promotes a positive feedback mechanism. Our results suggest that changes in Tamb can either exacerbate or alleviate the symptom and that this is mediated by the 5-HT2A receptors. Understanding the mechanism involved in elevating Tcor is imperative in treating and preventing the disorder.

Title: Effects of various sand types on nest temperature and hatching success in the loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtle.
Creator: Cheeks, Rebecca Joan., Florida Atlantic University, Lutz, Peter L.
Abstract/Description: Because of the logistics involved with field experiments, most of what is known about effects of temperature on the nest environment of loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtles has been learned in the laboratory. Until now, scientists have been forced to speculate on what effects different sands might have on temperature within the nest. Results of the present study indicate that the upper lethal temperature limit of loggerheads is between 33-35C; this temperature is more likely to be reached...
Show moreBecause of the logistics involved with field experiments, most of what is known about effects of temperature on the nest environment of loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtles has been learned in the laboratory. Until now, scientists have been forced to speculate on what effects different sands might have on temperature within the nest. Results of the present study indicate that the upper lethal temperature limit of loggerheads is between 33-35C; this temperature is more likely to be reached in larger clutches, causing high mortality and low emergence success. Furthermore, the metabolic heat of a larger clutch will be exacerbated by warmer sand types. Ranges of temperatures experienced during the middle period of incubation, not only within the clutch, but over the course of the nesting season, are both above and below the pivotal temperature for sex determination in loggerheads. Perhaps it is inappropriate to use mean beach temperatures to predict outcomes of sex ratios on various coasts. It would be more prudent to concern ourselves with predicting survivorship of a clutch using results from this field study along with beach temperatures, rather than using laboratory temperatures to predict sex ratios.

Title: INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE ON CALCAREOUS DEPOSIT DEPOSITION UPON CATHODICALLY POLARIZED STEEL IN SEA WATER.
Creator: KUNJAPUR, MADANA MOHAN., Florida Atlantic University, Hartt, William H., College of Engineering and Computer Science, Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering
Abstract/Description: Experiments have been performed where cylindrical 1018 steel specimens were polarized to -0.900 V.(SCE) in natural sea water at 24 and 3C and with rotation speeds of 0 and 0.83 Hz. The nature of the calcareous deposits which formed was characterized, first, by monitoring current density during the experiments and, second, by post-test SEM investigation of deposit morphology and thickness and by EEDS analysis of deposit composition. The dependence of cathodic current density and film...

The nature of the calcareous deposits which formed was characterized, first, by monitoring current density during the experiments and, second, by post-test SEM investigation of deposit morphology and thickness and by EEDS analysis of deposit composition. The dependence of cathodic current density and film composition upon temperature and exposure time has been established, and the observed trends have been interpreted in terms of (1) the temperature dependence of the solubility limit and relative nucleation and growth rates for Ca and Mg rich phases and (2) possible electrical conductive behavior on the part of Mg rich deposits.
