Fertility limitation and child schooling in Ouagadougou: selective fertility or resource dilution?”,
Moussa Bougma, Thomas K. LeGrand et Jean-François KobianéUsing original data collected in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, this study investigates evidence for the competing theories that fertility reductions increase children's education through either the quantity–quality tradeoff (intentionally choosing smaller families to make greater investments in...

Influence of chemical potential on water transport in a hygroscopic soil
Samuel Ouoba, Fabien Cherblanc, Jean-Claude Bénet, Jean KoulidiatiConcerning the description of mass transport in a porous media, particularly in soil, the question is to know what are the main mechanisms to consider during transport phenomena for a best description of these transports. The answer to this question requires good understanding on thermodynamic...

On constacyclic codes over Z_p^m,
Mohammed Elhassani Charkani, Joël KaboreLet p be a prime number, m = 2 a positive integer, and t a unit of R = Z_p^m, the ring of integers modulo p^m. Let
N = p^kn with gcd(p, n) = 1. In this work, we give a simple and short proof that the quotient ring R[X]I
is a principal ring. This allow us to study (1 + tp)-constacyclic codes...
