The paper provides detailed description of developing Kiswahili TTS using Tacotron 2 architecture and WaveNet vocoder. will help visually impaired persons to learn, assist with communication disorders, provide source in Voice Alarm Public Address equipments. is sequence-to-sequence model for building systems. con...

An autosampler/injector commutator for flow injection analysis (FIA) was constructed with electronic components of used equipments. The apparatus is controlled by commercially available multifunctional interface (PCL711B) connected to a personal computer, and the software was written in Visual Basic language. The system was applied to water analysis and it presented satisfactory results. The lo...

This paper presents a distributed platform composed of a team of mobile robots so that they can be controlled by the students through Internet. With this platform, a remote environment is created so that the students can carry out different experiments over several available equipments in the lab, with a flexible schedule. This way, the student can design and test different control algorithms a...

Multihop network is an approach utilizing distributed wireless stations for relaying. In this system, area size, coverage and total transmit power efficiency can be improved. It is shown by computer simulations that the cooperative relaying scheme provides transmit diversity effect, and can offer much better performance compared with that of non-cooperation case. To confirm this superior perfor...

-A number of impulse investigations on earthing systems have been performed in the field [1-6]. The studies were conducted on a few types of earth electrode: vertical rods, horizontal electrodes and the mesh and other geometries of electrodes. The type selected may depend on the type of soil encountered and the available depth or area available. Impulse voltages of up to 3MV with impulse curren...
