The Constitutionality of Public School Financing Laws: Judicial and Legislative Interaction
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
We say that a category is dimension zero over a field
provided that every finitely generated representation of over
is finite length. We show that , a category that arises
naturally from a finite idempotent semiring , is dimension zero over any
infinite field. One special case of this result is that , 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
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
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
