Simulating International Climate Negotiations in Classrooms
A simulation of the international climate negotiations was designed for more than 50 students of political science and other study programs dealing with sustainability. A key advantage of such simulations is that they are highly adaptable to groups of different sizes, academic backgrounds, or learning levels and can be used to teach a number of major concepts within the same framework. The primary

Ultrawideband USRP-Based Channel Sounding Utilizing the RFNoC Framework
This paper shows how a channel sounder can be built with National Instruments (NI) Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) equipment, featuring onboard FPGA processing and utilizing open-source tools. Compared to other USPR-based channel sounders, our design eases the requirements on the data link between the USRP and the host, limits the measurement data size, and increases the signal-to-noise
