Does Prekindergarten Improve School Preparation and Performance?
Prekindergarten programs are expanding rapidly, but to date, evidence on their effects is quite limited. Using rich data from Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, we estimate the effects of prekindergarten on children's school readiness. We find that prekindergarten increases reading and mathematics skills at school entry, but also increases behavioral problems and reduces self-control. Furthermore, the effects of prekindergarten on skills largely dissipate by the spring of first grade, although the behavioral effects do not. Finally, effects differ depending on children's family background and subsequent schooling, with the largest and most lasting academic gains for disadvantaged children and those attending schools with low levels of academic instruction.

Picking up the Remnants Post-\u3ci\u3eWaller\u3c/i\u3e: Properly Limiting the Scope of Uneconomic Remnant Claims in Wisconsin Eminent Domain Proceedings
Statutory interpretation often requires a court to review the legislative intent behind the statute. However, this task is not always easily undertaken when the intent of the legislature is itself unclear. A recent Wisconsin Supreme Court case illustrates the difficulty in properly interpreting arguably ambiguous statutory language. Nevertheless, this Comment hopes to demonstrate that by examining the history of remnant theory, it should be clear that uneconomic remnant claims in eminent domain proceedings were intended to be limited to situations where the partial taking creates either a physical remnant or a financial remnant. Furthermore, this Comment argues that the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s recent interpretation of Wisconsin’s uneconomic remnant statute has created a hybrid remnant claim that may burden public utility companies and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation in initiating eminent domain proceedings if the statute is not adequately modified
X-ray fluorescence spectra of metals excited below threshold
X-ray scattering spectra of Cu and Ni metals have been measured using
monochromatic synchrotron radiation tuned from far above to more than 10 eV
below threshold. Energy conservation in the scattering process is found to be
sufficient to explain the modulation of the spectral shape, neglecting momentum
conservation and channel interference. At excitation energies close to and
above threshold, the emission spectra map the occupied local partial density of
states. For the sub-threshold excitations, the high-energy flank of the
inelastic scattering exhibits a Raman-type linear dispersion, and an asymmetric
low energy tail develops. For excitation far below threshold the emission
spectra are proportional to a convolution of the occupied and unoccuppied local
partial densities of states.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures,
