Deglobalisation post Covid-19 could spell trouble for the European Monetary Union
Less integration would make it difficult for the ECB to stabilise the euro area economies, and individual countries would need to use fiscal policy tools, write Akvile Bertasiute, Domenico Massaro and Matthias Webe
Energy-Efficient Power Control in Multipath CDMA Channels via Large System Analysis
This paper is focused on the design and analysis of power control procedures
for the uplink of multipath code-division-multiple-access (CDMA) channels based
on the large system analysis (LSA). Using the tools of LSA, a new decentralized
power control algorithm aimed at energy efficiency maximization and requiring
very little prior information on the interference background is proposed;
moreover, it is also shown that LSA can be used to predict with good accuracy
the performance and operational conditions of a large network operating at the
equilibrium over a multipath channel, i.e. the power,
signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and utility profiles across
users, wherein the utility is defined as the number of bits reliably delivered
to the receiver for each energy-unit used for transmission. Additionally, an
LSA-based performance comparison among linear receivers is carried out in terms
of achieved energy efficiency at the equilibrium. Finally, the problem of the
choice of the utility-maximizing training length is also considered. Numerical
results show a very satisfactory agreement of the theoretical analysis with
simulation results obtained with reference to systems with finite (and not so
large) numbers of users.Comment: Proceedings of the IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor

Alternative Financing in Mount Carmel
The Alternative Financing in Mount Carmel report is an 8 page document prepared by four students for the Bucknell University undergraduate course Geography 218, taught by Prof. Vanessa Massaro. The document includes a summary of alternative finance examples, describes how to create and manage a Donor-Advised Fund, and then summarizes some opportunities and potential challenges of such a model for Mount Carmel, PA
The Baby AIDS Bill
Assemblywoman Mayersohn first explains the reasons behind her support for the so-called “Baby AIDS” bill; namely, that over one thousand babies in New York State tested positive for AIDS or HIV antibodies every year but medical professions were not allowed to reveal the results to anyone, including the mother. After the introduction of the bill, the author details how she received criticism and opposition from activist organizations that she had previously supported. In conclusion, the “Baby AIDS” bill is a success because it no longer treated infected infants as some sort of statistical tool and ensures the infants receive the care they need
