    This Note looks at the various ways states fund public education. Then the Note examines the how the U.S. Supreme Court\u27s decision of Board of Education v. Nyquist impacts how states fund public education. Finally, the Note argues that the U.S. Supreme Court should expand, rather than contract, the options available for states to fund public education

    New Examples of Dimension Zero Categories

    Full text link
    We say that a category D\mathscr{D} is dimension zero over a field FF provided that every finitely generated representation of D\mathscr{D} over FF is finite length. We show that Rel(R)\textrm{Rel}(R), a category that arises naturally from a finite idempotent semiring RR, is dimension zero over any infinite field. One special case of this result is that Rel\textrm{Rel}, the category of finite sets with relations, is dimension zero over any infinite field.Comment: updates for JOA submissio

    Modeling In vivo Wireless Path Loss

    Full text link
    Our long-term research goal is to model the in vivo wireless channel. As a first step towards this goal, in this paper we performed in vivo path loss measurements at 2.4GHz and make a comparison with free space path loss. We calculate the path loss by using the electric field radiated by a Hertzian-Dipole located inside the abdominal cavity. The simulations quantify and confirm that the path loss falls more rapidly inside the body than outside the body. We also observe fluctuations of the path loss caused by the inhomogeneity of the human body. In comparison with the path loss measured with monopole antennas, we conclude that the significant variations in Received Signal Strength is caused by both the angular dependent path loss and the significantly modified in vivo antenna effects

    MIMO In Vivo

    Full text link
    We present the performance of MIMO for in vivo environments, using ANSYS HFSS and their complete human body model, to determine the maximum data rates that can be achieved using an IEEE 802.11n system. Due to the lossy nature of the in vivo medium, achieving high data rates with reliable performance will be a challenge, especially since the in vivo antenna performance is strongly affected by near field coupling to the lossy medium and the signals levels will be limited by specified specific absorption rate (SAR) levels. We analyzed the bit error rate (BER) of a MIMO system with one pair of antennas placed in vivo and the second pair placed inside and outside the body at various distances from the in vivo antennas. The results were compared to SISO simulations and showed that by using MIMO in vivo, significant performance gain can be achieved, and at least two times the data rate can be supported with SAR limited transmit power levels, making it possible to achieve target data rates in the 100 Mbps.Comment: WAMICON 201
