Seafinding orientation of hatchlings exposed to filtered lighting: Effects of varying beach conditions.
Creator
Tuxbury, Susan Mary., Florida Atlantic University, Salmon, Michael
Abstract/Description
Under normal conditions, hatchling sea turtles crawl toward the ocean but streetlights placed on coastal roadways can attract the turtles toward land. Two light filters were designed to exclude the shorter light wavelengths most attractive to turtles. I did laboratory tests to determine if green turtle and loggerhead hatchlings oriented normally ("seaward") in the presence of filtered lighting. Light passed through either filter (#2422 acrylic and NLW) attracted the turtles unless coastal...
Show moreUnder normal conditions, hatchling sea turtles crawl toward the ocean but streetlights placed on coastal roadways can attract the turtles toward land. Two light filters were designed to exclude the shorter light wavelengths most attractive to turtles. I did laboratory tests to determine if green turtle and loggerhead hatchlings oriented normally ("seaward") in the presence of filtered lighting. Light passed through either filter (#2422 acrylic and NLW) attracted the turtles unless coastal cues (an elevated horizon) were strong or background (full moon) illumination was present. Green turtles and loggerheads responded differently to the same filters, indicating that neither filter provided adequate protection for both species. I conclude that these filters fail to protect the turtles. Conventional forms of light control (shielding and/or lowering light fixtures, decreasing wattage, or turning off problem lights) remain the best way to shield turtles from the harmful effects of artificial lighting.

Non-Separable Superpositions of Complex Phase Front and Polarization States in Classical-Singular and Quantum-Entangled Optics

Non-Separable Superpositions of Complex Phase Front and Polarization States in Classical-Singular and Quantum-Entangled Optics.

Abstract/Description
The angular momentum of light originates from two sources: one is the spin angular momentum (SAM) of individual photons, which is related to the polarization of light and the other is the orbital angular momentum (OAM) associated with helical wavefront of the light if it is helically phased (complex phase front). A beam of light that is composed of photons possessing both OAM and SAM states can be used in different areas of study such as rotating microscopic particles, interacting with...
Show moreThe angular momentum of light originates from two sources: one is the spin angular momentum (SAM) of individual photons, which is related to the polarization of light and the other is the orbital angular momentum (OAM) associated with helical wavefront of the light if it is helically phased (complex phase front). A beam of light that is composed of photons possessing both OAM and SAM states can be used in different areas of study such as rotating microscopic particles, interacting with nonlinear materials, investigating atom-light interactions, communication and medical imaging technologies, quantum information, quantum entanglement and etc. In this dissertation we study coherent beams that convey photons in superposition states of polarization and complex phase front. Our study includes two fields: (I) classical wave-like behavior with visible light in the field of singular optics. (II) quantum particle-like behavior of photons of light in the field of quantum-entangled optics. The approach is to investigate the state of such photons both mathematically and experimentally in classical-singular and quantum-entangled fields. We discuss seven projects based on this research. In one project we present a new method to encode OAM modes into perpendicular polarization components and making superpositions of polarization and spatial modes mapped by Poincare sphere. In another project using spatial light modulators (SLM) we realized highorder disclination patterns in the polarization map of the cross section of the beam. We also realize new forms of polarization disclination patterns (line patterns where rotational invariance is violated) known as monstars that were not previously seen. We proposed a new definition for characterizing these patterns since they can have zero or negative singularity index. In another project, instead of SLM we used q-plates to generate new forms of monstars. We proposed a robust and easy method for determining the topological charge of a complex phase front beam by inspecting the interference pattern the beam reflected from a wedged optical flat. In another project we encoded OAM modes onto orthogonal polarization components of a photon from an entangled pair and investigated the quantum entanglement. We also prepared a polarization entangled state and calculated some measures of entanglement. We summarize the projects and discuss the future prospects.

Abstract/Description
In order to implement and maintain quality circle programs as vehicles for achieving increased worker productivity, corporate leaderships may resort to unethical managerial tactics. A critical analysis, drawing upon and interweaving the data garnered from both the Florida Power & Light Quality Improvement Program and various managerial texts, reveals the existence of deceptive and coercive practices by some corporate managers in their attempts to forcibly impose quality circle programs under...
Show moreIn order to implement and maintain quality circle programs as vehicles for achieving increased worker productivity, corporate leaderships may resort to unethical managerial tactics. A critical analysis, drawing upon and interweaving the data garnered from both the Florida Power & Light Quality Improvement Program and various managerial texts, reveals the existence of deceptive and coercive practices by some corporate managers in their attempts to forcibly impose quality circle programs under the guise of managerial/worker power sharing. Managerial deception in quality circle perpetuation seeks to construct an intra-corporate reality which co-opts workers into supporting a self-repressive organizational hegemony.
