Effects of the Indiana Choice Scholarship Program on Public School Students’ Achievement and Graduation Rates by Anna J. Egalite, Andrew D. Catt

“…We used this precise measure in a difference-in-differences framework to examine impacts on student math and English language arts test scores and graduation rates. Using a student-level dataset that covers the 2006–07 through 2015–16 school years, we found little evidence that the average student in an Indiana traditional public school had been affected—either positively or negatively— by the enactment and growth of the Indiana Choice Scholarship Program. …”

The slip-rate, state-, temperature-, and normal-stress-dependence of fault frictionKey points by Sylvain Barbot

“…The mechanics of slow-slip events and earthquakes is controlled by the constitutive behavior of rocks in active fault zones, which is sensitive to many factors encompassing lithology, temperature, confining and pore-fluid pressure, and slip-rate, among others. Understanding the frictional properties of faults is crucial to predicting many aspects of the seismic cycle, from the source characteristics and recurrence patterns of earthquakes to the mechanics of remote triggering. …”
