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. …”

Study on energy evolution and crack propagation of filling mortar-rock at different loading rates. by Hanqiu Wang, Chengyong Liu, Yuyi Wu, Yuhua Guan, Tongde Zhao

“…However, when shotcrete becomes tightly bonded with rock masses, the energy evolution and crack initiation mechanisms between the two materials exhibit remarkable complexity. Different loading rates significantly alter the internal stress distribution and deformation characteristics within the composite system, thereby influencing the patterns of energy evolution and crack propagation. …”

Evolution of accessory bones in cetacean skull coupled with decreasing rate of ossification of cranial sutures by Valeriia Telizhenko, Pavel Gol’din

“…A strong phylogenetic signal was found for both suture ossification rate and accessory bone presence. Cetaceans were shown to have a lower ossification rate than most terrestrial artiodactyls, except deer (Cervidae) and mouse deer (Tragulidae), which showed somewhat similar patterns. …”

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. …”

Determining optimum plant density and nitrogen rate using field experiment and model simulation by Bizuwork Tafes Desta, Sisay Eshetu Tesema, Gebrekidan Feleke Mekuria, Almaz Meseret Gezahegn, Alemayehu Zemede Lemma

“…The model was further evaluated with the experimental data conducted during the 2020 cropping season under four plant densities and four nitrogen fertilizer rates. Because of differences in temperature and rainfall patterns during the potential growing season, seasonal analysis was used to determine the optimum plant density and N rate using 37 years (1985–2022) of historical weather data. …”
