Mathematical model of malaria transmission dynamics with distributed delay and a wide class of nonlinear incidence rates
KOUTOU Ousmane, TRAORE Bakary, SANGARE BoureimaGenerally, the infection process of most vector-borne diseases involves a latent period in both human hosts and vectors. With regards to other publications, Tian and Song have recently proposed an SIR-SI model to analyze the effects of the incubation period on a vector-borne disease with...

Effect of Silica on Rice Agromorphological Diversity Under Iron Toxicity Conditions in Lowland Rice of Guinea Conakry
Mamadou Laho Barry,, Nerbewende Sawadogo, Mahamadi Hamed Ouedraogo Kiswendsida Romaric Nanema, Mamadou Billo Barry, Pauline Bationo-Kando, Mahamadou Sawadogo,Rice is the second most important cereal in West Africa and is an essential element in the diet of the population. However, iron toxicity is one of the major edaphic constraints in lowland rice cultivation. The large amount of ferrous ions in solution causes an imbalance in nutrients involving a...

Phenotyping Bambara Groundnut Landraces for Resistance to Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goidnich
Adjima Ouoba, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, Mahamadi Hamed Ouédraogo, Hervé Nandkangré, Moussa N’Golo Konaté, Elisabeth P. Zida, Romain W. Soalla, Mahama Ouédraogo, Mahamadou SawadogoBambara groundnut [Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdcourt] is one of the most important subsistance legumes cultivated in Burkina Faso, due to the high nutrient content of its seeds. However, bambara groundnut production can be seriously constrained by fungal diseases that reduce yields. Macrophomina...

Risk factors of hepatitis B virus surface antigen carriage and serological profile of HBsAg carriers in Lomé Togo, 2016
Wemboo Afiwa Halatoko , Akouda Patassi, Pauline Yanogo, Leou Ismael Banla, Adjaho Koba, Zoulkaneiri Issa, Koffi Akolly, Agballa Mébiny-Esso Tchalla, Hamadi Assane, Aboukerim Naba-Mouchedou, Bernard Sawadogo, Simon Nouvura Antara, Kossi Badziklou, Abiba Kere Banla, Didier Koumavi Ekouevi and Idrissa SanouBackground: In Togo, the prevalence of Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antigen (HBsAg) among young people aged 15–24
years was estimated at 16.4% in 2010; however, risk factors for HBsAg carriage are poorly documented. We sought to
identify risk factors for HBsAg carriage and the serological...

Temperature Dependence of Density, Viscosity,Thermal Conductivity and Heat Capacity of Vegetable Oils for Their Use as Biofuel in Internal Combustion Engines
Augustin Sampawindé Zongo, Gilles Vaitilingom, Tizane Daho, Christian Caillol, Jean-François Hoffmann, Bruno Piriou, Jeremy Valette, Bila Gérard Segda, Pascal Higelin.This work gives tools to overcome the difficulty to determine experimentally physical properties for vegetable oils within the range of temperature typically observed during the injection phase in a diesel engine. Knowing vegetable oils’ physical properties to these ranges of temperature is of...

High frequencies of F1534C and V1016I kdr mutations and association with pyrethroid resistance in Aedes aegypti from Somgandé (Ouagadougou), Burkina Faso
Aboubacar Sombié, Erisha Saiki, Félix Yaméogo, Tatsuya Sakurai, Takahiro Shirozu, Shinya Fukumoto, Antoine Sanon, David Weetman, Philip J. McCall, Hirotaka Kanuka, Athanase BadoloBackground: Resistance to pyrethroid insecticides involving kdr mutations is widespread in Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) and potentially could impact control efforts in endemic countries. Dengue cases had been sporadic in Burkina Faso for over a decade prior to the 2016-2017 outbreak...

Value-at-Risk Modeling with Conditional Copulas in Euclidean Space Framework
Vini Yves Bernadin Loyara, Diakarya BarroThis paper aims to establish an analytic relation between a time-varying conditional copula and the value at risk modeled by the underlying. Specically, under the asumption that the space is euclidean we use scalar product to clarify a link between the conditional copula varying with time and...
