Fourth International Meeting on Dielectric Materials Marrakech, Morocco, 29-31 May 2013 Fourth International Meeting On Dielectric Materials Marrakech, Morocco, 29-31 May 2013 Fourth International Meeting On Dielectric Materials Marrakech, Morocco, 29 -31 May 2013 Organized by Faculty of Sciences Semlalia Cadi Ayyad University, Marrakech Morocco Faculty of Sciences Kenitra Ibn Tofail University, Kenitra, Morocco Laboratoire des Matériaux Composites Céramiques et Polymères, Sfax, Tunisia 1 Fourth International Meeting On Dielectric Materials Marrakech, Morocco, 29-31 May 2013 Foreward On behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to welcome you to the Faculty of Sciences Semlalia-Marraekch, the host of The Fourth International Meeting on Dielectric Materials (IMDM‘4). The goal of the IMDM‘4 conference is to provide a platform for researchers, scientists from all over the world to exchange ideas on recent progress and developments in dielectric materials and their applications. It is addressed to the materials scientist, physicist, chemist, biologist, and electrical engineers engaged in fundamental and applied research work or in technical investigations on such materials. The IMDM‘4 meeting will also be an opportunity to boost the existing scientific networks in this field and help in making new ones between Universities and professional societies and pave the way for new collaborations. Topics of interest to the Conference include: A- Physics of space charge in non-conductive materials. Polymers, Composites, Ceramics, Glasses, Bio dielectrics and nanodielectrics, Meta-materials, Piezoelectric, Pyroelectric and Ferroelectric materials. B- Dielectric properties, polarization phenomena, Charge storage and transport, High-field effects, Energy localisation and thermodynamics of charged insulators, Space charge characterization techniques, Aging, Partial discharges, Electrical breakdowns, Friction, Treeing, High-field effects. C- Modeling and theory. D- Measurement techniques. E- Industrial and biomedical applications. The Fourth International Meeting on Dielectric Materials (IMDM'4) follows three international meetings that were all organized in Tunisia: - IMDM‘1: Mahdia, Tunisia, 30 March- 01 April 2000, - IMDM‘2: Mahdia, Tunisia 24-26 January 2002 - IMDM‘3: Monastir, Tunisia, 14-18 December 2011. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the sponsors for their generous assistance especially ICTP, CNRST and Hassan II Academy. We are also very grateful to the organizing committee for their efforts without which this event would not have taken place.

Our heartiest welcome to IEEE ICALT 2019, the 7th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Logistics and Transport taking place in Marrakech, Morocco. With this fifth edition, the conference is held for the first time in Morocco after successful editions in Tunisia 2011 and 2013, France 2014, Poland 2016 and Indonesia 2017. The conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss issues, challenges and future directions, share their R&D findings and experiences in the following areas: - Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) - Logistics & Supply Chain Management (LSCM) - Optimization and Logistics Challenges (OLC) - Industrial Engineering (IE) - Logistics 4.0 and Smart Supply Chain (LSSC) We are pleased to announce that we have received 120 submissions. Only 50 papers (41%) were accepted for oral presentations. Accepted papers are characterized by a high scientific quality. Each paper was reviewed by at least three members of the program committee, which consisted of About 140 scientists from 22 countries. Contributions were from 14 different countries: Bulgaria, Algeria, France, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia, United Kingdom, USA, Denmark, United Arab Emirates, and South Korea. The conference has gathered the most outstanding scientists and practitioners in all areas of Logistics, Transport, and their applications. Research in this area comprises a wide spectrum of directions, both theoretical and practical, with a perspective which aims to be useful both to people in the academia and in the industry.

The colors and the designs are beyond belief visually. The one problem was that the binding of this paperback book came apart so that the back cover came off Living in Morocco : Design from Casablanca to Marrakesh. Living in Morocco: Design from Casablanca to Marrakesh is an exhilarating combination of vivid sensuality and intense spirituality, an intoxicating blend of cultures. Berber, Arab, French, English, and Spanish: the country's rich mixture of heritages is matched by its geography, which ranges from coast to mountain to desert. This revised edition of Living in Morocco celebrates the indigenous arts of a country at the height of a cultural renaissance. Morocco is known for fine leather and for pottery that dates back a thousand years. Berber rugs are justly famous, and there is a thriving tradition of woodworking, especially in the native thuya wood. Most extraordinary, though, is Morocco's decorative painting and tilework, where, forbidden Living in Morocco: Design from Casablanca to Marrakesh religion to depict human figures, craftsmen have developed a vocabulary of pattern and ornament. The book is filled with brightly colored ceilings, decorated courtyards and walls, plaster of Paris carved and painted in intricate geometrics, tiles so small that could fit in a matchbox. Lavishly illustrated chapters on decorative and folk arts alternate with chapters on Moroccan life today.

  • International Workshop on Optics and Photonics Cadi Ayyad University, Morocco Department of Physics, Faculty of Sciences Semlalia Marrakech, October 5-8, 2010
    International Workshop on Optics and Photonics Cadi Ayyad University, Morocco Department of Physics, Faculty of Sciences Semlalia Marrakech, October 5-8, 2010 For the rest of my life I want to reflect on what light is. Albert Einstein, 1916 Introduction The International Workshop on Optics and Photonic (IWOP) will be the first of this kind at Cadi Ayyad University Marrakech, Morocco. This workshop, endorsed by OSA, EPS, SPIE, ICTP and UNESCO, will provide a quick review of basic theory of optics, leading on to the frontiers of optics and its applications. The goal of IWOP is to further enhance the ongoing activities for the better understanding of conceptual optics in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and also to develop south-south collaboration in scientific and educational research. It will also provide a good opportunity of interaction among the invited speakers and local hosts to share their research in optics and photonics in a very friendly atmosphere. Many activities on Active Learning in Optics and Photonics (ALOP) have taken place since 2005 in Africa, Latin America and Asia, under the umbrella of UNESCO. The main objective is the training of young teachers/scientists from developing countries, to have better understanding of optics and photonics by using hands-on activities. With IWOP our aim is to go one step ahead in training young scientists to be good researcher in this field. Insufficient attention has been paid to the development of Optics and Photonics in most developing countries. Elementary optics courses at undergraduate level need improvement and revision. In the case of photonics, the situation is even worse because there are no introductory or advance courses currently in the curricula of most of the leading universities in North Africa, for example.
