Deployment of MOOCs in Virtual Joint Academic Degree Programs
No full textThis research paper investigates the readiness of students to opt for MOOC courses in universities offering a joint master degree international programme. A study is conducted on two joint academic study programs offered by the University of Hasselt in Belgium and Princess Sumaya University for Technology in Jordan. The study examines the readiness of students to take MOOC courses and their acceptance by universities' management staff and professors. The study reveals promising results as the results suggest that such virtual study programs are readily accepted in both universities by professors and students. On the other hand, management staff and some professors expressed concerns on the approval of the equivalence of a MOOC onto courses.Sammour, G (corresponding author), Princess Sumaya Univ Technol PSUT, Dept Business Informat Technol, Amman, Jordan

In this survey, we discuss current approaches to the robust control of the motion of robots and summarize the available literature on the subject. The three major designs discussed are the "Linear-Multivariable" Approach, the "Passivity" approach and the "Variable-Structure" approach. The survey is limited to rigid robots and nonadaptive controllers.IEE

TunSwitch: Code-Switched Tunisian Arabic Speech Dataset
No full textThis folder contains the data used to develop and test the Tunisian Arabic Automatic Speech Recognition model developed in the following paper :
A. A. Ben Abdallah*, A. Kabboudi, A. Kanoun, and S. Zaiem*, “Leveraging data collection and unsupervised learning for code-switched tunisian arabic automatic speech recognition”, Submitted to ICASSP 2024, vol. * : These two authors have contributed equally. 2023.
It contains 4 zipped folders containing audio data :
- TunSwitchCS.zip : containing annotated code-switched data.
- TunSwitchTO.zip : containing annotated Tunisian-Only data.
- weakly_labeled_tn.zip : containing weakly-labeled (or unlabeled) audio data. Audios may contain code-switching, but the current weak labels do not.
- test_wavs.zip : contains annotated testing data, divided between a code-switched part and a tunisian-only part.
It also contains textual data, used for language modelling, contained in TextData.zip. Finally it also contains a language-detailed annotation of TunSwitchCS in the language_annotation.zip file .
More details about the data are available in the paper. The current table are in a SpeechBrain-friendly format, the column path is irrelevant and has to be changed according to your local setting. Please use the provided train-dev-test splits if you work with this dataset.

Fast Pump Scheduling Method for Optimum Energy Cost and Water Quality in Water Distribution Networks with Fixed and Variable Speed Pumps
No full textSupplying high-quality water at competitive cost is a major challenge for water utilities worldwide, especially with ever increasing water quality standards and energy prices. A number of pump scheduling methods for optimizing simultaneously water quality and energy cost have been developed already. However, none of these methods is ideal because of the complexity of water networks and the nonlinear behavior of water flow. In this research, a new optimization method named iterative extended lexicographic goal programming (iELGP) is developed to optimize energy cost and water quality (residual chlorine) in water networks with a mixture of fixed speed pumps (FSPs) and variable speed pumps (VSPs). Two different approaches were used to indirectly improve chlorine. The new method was tested on the C-Town water network and compared with the graph theory method from the literature. The results obtained show the ability of the iELGP method to optimize energy cost and water quality in water networks in a computationally very efficient manner. They also show that the iELGP method can identify lower energy cost pump schedules and do this faster than the comparison method. Using VSPs instead of FSPs improves the water quality and decreases the related energy and maintenance cost in water networks.Accepted Author ManuscriptSanitary Engineerin
The Arab Avant-Garde: Musical Innovation in the Middle East
No full textIn the early nineteenth century, the term “avant-garde” began to capture greater semantic territory. Once purely a military phrase used to distinguish crack troops, it then assumed a high-ranking position within cultural expression, marking out art work that forged ahead and broke new ground. What can it mean to conjoin this French phrase with the word “Arab”? French forces, along with other imperial intruders, are no strangers to Arab terrain. The colonisation of Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and Greater Syria followed in the wake of the brief Napoleonic “mission” to Egypt between 1798 and 1801. It was during this military foray that some of modern Europe’s most expansive data on Egyptian music was collected, information that comprised two whole volumes of Guillaume André Villoteau’s Description de l’Egypte. The Napoleonic campaign gathered not only military, but also cultural intelligence, if the two can be so easily separated
Applications of well logging techniques to evaluate the groundwater aquifers in the area between southwest Bani Sweif and west Asyoute governorate, upper Egypt

Saad 21 Dept. of geophysical exploration, Desert Research Center, Cairo, Egypt 2Dept of Physics., Faculty of Science, Zagazig University, Zagazig, Egypt *Corresponding author: [email protected] AbstractThe relevance of detecting aquifer characterization and aquifer potential has risen with the application of well logging technique as the demand for water has increased. Apart from pumping data, 16 geophysical well logs (resistivity, gamma ray, self-potential, and nuclear logs) are utilized to achieve the main goal of estimating petrophysical parameters (porosity (∅), effective porosity (∅!""), hydraulic conductivity (k), permeability (K) and shale volume
