  • Tunisia Page 1 of 18
    Tunisia Page 1 of 18 Tunisia Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 6, 2007 Tunisia is a constitutionally based republic with a population of approximately 10 million, dominated by a single political party, the Democratic Constitutional Rally (RCD). Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali has been the president since 1987. In the 2004 presidential election, President Ben Ali ran against three opposition candidates and was declared the winner with approximately 94 percent of the popular vote. Official turnout was higher than 90 percent, although observers regarded these figures as substantially inflated. In concurrent parliamentary elections, the RCD gained 152 of the 189 seats. A second legislative body, the Chamber of Advisors, was created in a 2002 referendum amending the constitution. In July 2005 indirect elections for the Chamber of Advisors resulted in a heavily pro-RCD body. The civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces. The government continued to commit serious human rights abuses. There were significant limitations on citizens' right to change their government. Members of the security forces tortured and physically abused prisoners and detainees. Security forces arbitrarily arrested and detained individuals. Authorities did not charge any police or security force official with abuse during the year. Lengthy pretrial and incommunicado detention remained a serious problem. The government infringed on citizens' privacy rights, continued to impose severe restrictions on freedom of speech and of the press, and restricted freedom of assembly and association. The government remained intolerant of public criticism and used intimidation, criminal investigations, the court system, arbitrary arrests, residential restrictions, and travel controls (including denial of passports), to discourage criticism by human rights and opposition activists.

  • Image Transmission Quality Analysis Over Adaptive BCH Coding
    WSEAS TRANSACTIONS on COMMUNICATIONS Lamia Chaari, Mohamed Fourati, Nouri Masmoudi, Lotfi Kamoun Image transmission quality analysis over adaptive BCH coding LAMIA CHAARI, MOHAMED FOURATI, NOURI MASMOUDI, LOTFI KAMOUN Laboratoire d’Electronique et des Technologies de L’Information (L.E.T.I) Ecole National d’Ingénieur de Sfax, 3038 SFAX TUNISIE [email protected] [email protected] Abstract :. Image communication over telephone wireline and wireless networks is becoming a standard way of communication due to very efficient compression algorithms for reducing the required channel capacity. However, all standard compression techniques are strongly sensitive to channel noise. For noisy channels it is necessary to investigate in order to select the appropriate channel coding method as a tradeoff between the image quality and the ability to control errors caused by noise. BCH (Bose, Chaudhuri, Hocquenghem) codes are becoming more frequently used due to the availability of VLSI components. BCH codes have a powerful random and burst correcting ability. BCH codes also leave the data in its original form which allows image and video decoders to be specified with "optional" error correction. In order to overcome the outlined drawbacks of fixed channel protection, Adaptive Protection is needed. AP adds redundancy as a function of the current channel characteristics. The BCH code can be adapted towards the burst error correcting capabilities and this will be shown in the contribution. This paper investigates the effects of noise- induced transmission errors on the performance of BCH coding methods for different errors correction capability. First, the relations among the bit error rate, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and code lengths are analyzed.

The Internet of Things-enabled WSNs are usually characterized by the ability of remotely and precisely locating specific sensing elements, interrogating them and controlling the way it suits the application. This enables innovative deployment models of IoT applications, however, energy efficiency still a big issue in this environment. For WSNs, energy and powering have long been the main challenges that hampers autonomous and perpetual operation of such systems. As such power efficiency algorithms, systems, intelligence and platforms have been and are constantly being investigated and solution pursued and proposed constantly. • Of a particular interest, in this domain, are energy-harvesting wireless sensor networks (EH-WSNs), whether fully autonomous or backed by batteries.

Hacia el futuro, hasta la victoria siempre. A Isabel y Paloma Sabéis que aunque esté lejos siempre hay un tren que desemboca en Madrid. A Ellas Porque la verdadera revolución será feminista o no será. Por que fueron somos. Porque somos, serán. iv v Nuestras clases dominantes han procurado siempre que los trabajadores no tengan historia, no tengan doctrina, no tengan héroes y mártires. Cada lucha debe empezar de nuevo, separada de las luchas anteriores: la experiencia colectiva se pierde, las lecciones se olvidan. La historia parece así como propiedad privada cuyos dueños son los dueños de todas las otras cosas. El pueblo aprendió que estaba solo... El pueblo aprendió que estaba solo y que debía pelear por sí mismo y que de su propia entraña sacaría los medios, el silencio, la astucia y la fuerza. -Rodolfo Walsh vi vii Acknowledgments Familiares y amigos esto es lo que fui, y todo gracias a ustedes.
