Purpose: Cognitive effort, an intensity aspect of processing, is often overlooked in language assessments, despite potential theoretical and clinical implications for understanding the nature of language processing in individuals with and without aphasia. Task-evoked responses of the pupil (TERPs) are psychophysiological indicators of cognitive effort: greater effort results in larger TERPs. Until our recent work (Chapman & Hallowell, 2015a), no one had studied language processing in people with aphasia (PWA) using pupillometry. The purpose of this study was to further develop and validate a pupillometric method for studying cognitive effort in sentence processing. Method: This study involved two experiments. Results from Experiment 1 were used to determine whether an overt comprehension task (e.g., the inclusion of question trials) was included in Experiment 2. Pupillary responses of 40 individuals without aphasia were monitored while they listened to easy (canonical) and difficult (noncanonical) sentences in two conditions, one of which contained occasional comprehension questions, and one that did not. In Experiment 2, pupillary responses of 50 control participants and 19 PWA were monitored as they listened to the same group of sentences, with or without comprehension questions (as determined by results from Experiment 1). Results: In Experiment 1, difficult sentences elicited greater TERPs in the question condition only; thus, comprehension questions were included in Experiment 2. In Experiment 2, control participants consistently exhibited larger TERPs for difficult sentences, whereas PWA did not. Conclusion: Results indicate important group differences in the allocation of effort between people with and without aphasia, particularly when processing difficult sentences. A greater understanding of the underlying nature of aphasia has implications for the development of more specific and targeted assessment and treatment options for this population.

The restoration of plant communities in littoral zones often fails. Because littoral habitats around the world often are subject to changing water regimes and potentially changing future climates, a better understanding of species competitive interactions under such conditions is needed for restoration plant selection. To represent shoreline plant communities, we grew eight freshwater species used in shoreline restoration projects in Minnesota and Wisconsin, USA, in outdoor basins and manipulated water levels to determine the effect on above ground biomass. Biomass production of some species in the competing environment was related to the proximity to water or inundation depth and frequency. Sparganium eurycarpum and Bolboschoenus fluviatilis dominated the total biomass in all water manipulations. These findings allow for better design of plant community composition and better vegetative erosion control under a variety of water conditions. This thesis also investigates the ability of plants to reduce waves and flow, through a comparison of parameters that characterize vegetation flexibility effects on flow resistance and drag. Drag forces measured in a flume for simple cylindrical obstructions of the same shape and size but with different flexibility under several flow conditions. A novel formulation is developed where the drag coefficient is evaluated as a function of the relative velocity and the elastic modulus of the obstruction. Current methods for estimating energy dissipation require plant specific parameters that are difficult to estimate for the large variety of plant morphologies used in shoreline protection, requiring testing on each species of interest. The method developed herein directly measures hydrodynamic forces on individual plant shoots using a torque sensor mounted beneath the bed of a flume. The data collected also suggests that more flexible objects result in less drag force on each element and suggests that frequency response is related to the frequencies existing in the driving wave and the natural frequency of the obstruction element, although harmonic synchronization appears to occur in some cases, doubling the expected drag force magnitude. A case study is also included as an example of how the findings presented here can be applied to a shoreline erosion control evaluation. The case study is an inland lake in northern Minnesota currently having erosion soil losses. Data from this research is used to develop a vegetation scenario that is predicted to limit the erosion.

Essential to our self-conception as rational human animals is that we are the makers and takers of reasons---we believe and act based on evidence. The project of determining exactly what this means for us is one of the central projects of philosophical epistemology. One dimension of this project that has been largely neglected, however, is how justification is supposed to play the specifically normative role that it's claimed to play. The project of this dissertation is to examine the specifically normative role of internalistic justification and to provide a positive theory for its nature and function. When epistemologists claim that justification is normative, what they mean is that it is epistemically better, all things considered, to possess justification than to lack it. According to what I call the Standard Picture of Epistemic Normativity, the epistemic normativity of justification is to be explained in terms of justification's instrumental ability to bring about true beliefs. However, the Standard Picture, as I show, is fatally flawed and therefore cannot explain the epistemic value of justification. The question of how justification can play its properly normative role thus remains unanswered. This dissertation proceeds in four parts. In the first part, I lay out, explicate, and analyze the target concept of the dissertation: justification. In the second part, I show how the Standard Picture has been claimed to be able to explain the epistemic normativity of justification and how it has failed to do so. In the third part, I lay out a number of adequacy conditions on a theory of the epistemic normativity of justification---conditions any plausible theory would need to satisfy in order to satisfy its explanatory task. In the fourth part I present a two-part positive theory of the epistemic normativity of justification. This theory relies on philosophical tools developed by Kant, Husserl, and Heidegger and presents a picture of justification as grounded not in an instrumental ability to bring about true beliefs, but in the intrinsically valuable role it plays in our self-consciously social lives.

Conventional pest management programs for potatoes in Wisconsin are based on broad-spectrum insecticides that can lead to rapid development of insecticide resistance and harmful effects on the environment. There are urgent needs for integrated management programs that are long-term, cost effective, and reduce negative impacts on the environment. Laboratory and field studies were conducted to investigate compatibilities among insecticides and beneficial arthropods. Insecticide residue bioassays were conducted on two common insect predators, adult <italic>Coleomegilla maculata</italic> (DeGeer) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and adult <italic> Orius insidiosus</italic> (Say) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae). <italic>O. insidiosus </italic> experienced higher mortality than <italic>C. maculata</italic> and two pyrethroids, cyfluthrin and esfenvalerate caused greater mortality to both species than the other insecticides tested. Pest-specific insecticides, which are insecticides with a narrow activity spectrum and typically target a limited number of pest insects, did not cause significantly higher mortality when compared to untreated individuals. Three field trials in 1997 evaluated insecticide and beneficial arthropod compatibilities. Effects varied among insecticide classes and beneficial arthropod families. However, broad-spectrum pyrethroids and organophosphates typically had the most negative impact on overall beneficial arthropod complexes while pest-specific insecticides evaluated did not adversely affect them. In 1998 and 1999, large scale field trials were conducted in an agricultural research station environment to integrate the most effective registered and experimental pest-specific insecticides into season-long pest management programs. All the management programs evaluated provided good insect pest control. Beneficial arthropod complexes were negatively impacted by repeated broad-spectrum insecticide applications while the pest-specific insecticides had little affect. In 1997, 1999, and 2000 research was conducted in commercial potato production fields to evaluate reduced-risk insect management approaches. Evaluation parameters included pest control efficacy, impacts on beneficial arthropods, crop yield and quality, economics of production, and toxicity of control approaches. All the management programs evaluated provided good insect pest control. Beneficial arthropods were negatively impacted by programs based on broad-spectrum insecticides although timing of insecticide application greatly influenced toxicity to beneficial arthropods. Aphid bioregulation by braconids was observed during 1999 while possible potato leafhopper bioregulation may have also occurred.

The purpose of this study was to explore how biracial students described the role of the college campus environment on the development of their racial identity. The research questions were: (1) What is the biracial student's self-assigned racial identity? (2) What life experiences have aided in the formation of the biracial individual's racial identity? (3) How has the college experience contributed to the development of the biracial individual's racial identity? (4) What key factors in the campus environment were most salient to biracial college students in the development of their racial identity? (5) How do biracial college students perceive their racial identity options within the campus environment?. A purposeful sample of 13 participants who were biracial or multiracial graduate students was chosen. Data collection occurred through semi-structured face-to-face and phone interviews. The data collected represented biracial experiences from 10 different undergraduate institutions. Three overarching themes emerged from the data: (a) laying the foundation (b) the college experience and (c) visions for the future. The findings suggest that early childhood experiences laid the foundation for the racial identity of participants upon entering college. College courses, instructors and peers were salient factors in the students' racial identity development on campus. Participants recommend that university administrators deconstruct traditional models of racial classification and develop programs and policy that are inclusive of all students.
