On the capacitance of crystalline silicon solar cells in steady state
FABE IDRISSA, BARRO MOUSTAPHA SANE , BERNARD ZOUMAIn this work, an analytical approach is presented for modeling the capacitance of crystalline silicon solar cells. Based on a one-dimensional modeling of the cell, the excess minority carrier density, the photovoltage, and the capacitance are calculated. The motivation of this work are two-fold:...

Bottom-up adoption of software product lines: a generic and extensible approach
T. BISSYANDEAbstract Although Software Product Lines are recurrently praised as an efficient paradigm for systematic reuse, practical adoption remains challenging. For bottom-up Software Product Line adoption, where a set of artefact variants already exists, practitioners lack end-to-end support for...

Energy-free Security in Wireless Sensor Networks
Adel Elgaber, Julien Bernard, Yacouba OuattaraWireless sensor networks are often deployed in open and uncontrolled environments that make them more vulnerable
to security attacks. Cryptographic algorithms can be used to protect the data collected by the sensors against an intruder. The cost in terms of energy to provide enough security can...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation and persistence, along with the production of quorum sensing-dependent virulence factors, are disrupted by a triterpeno...
M. KIENDREBEOGORecently, extracts of Dalbergia trichocarpa bark have been shown to disrupt P. aeruginosa PAO1 quorum sensing (QS) mechanisms, which are key regulators of virulence factor expression and implicated in biofilm formation. One of the active compounds has been isolated and identified as oleanolic...

Caught in a human disturbance trap: Responses of tropical savanna trees to increasing land-use pressure
Oumarou Ouédraogo, Loyapin Bondé, Joseph I. Boussim, Anja LinstädterIncreasing land-use pressure threatens the persistence of tree populations in West Africa’s savannas. We do not fully understand yet why tree species respond differently to human disturbances, hampering the design of appropriate management strategies. To identify typical response pathways, we...

Dynamics of the human infectious reservoir for malaria determined by mosquito feeding assays and ultrasensitive malaria diagnosis in Burkina Faso
A. GNEMEBackground Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes are essential for malaria transmission. Malaria control measures that aim at reducing transmission require an accurate characterization of the human infectious reservoir. Methods We longitudinally determined human infectiousness to mosquitoes and P....
