Kinematics and mass modelling of M33: Hα observations
Zacharie Sie Kam, Claude Carignan, Laurent Chemin, Philippe Amram, Benoit EpinatAs part of a long-term project to revisit the kinematics and dynamics of the large disc galaxies of the Local Group, we present the first deep, wide-field (∼42 arcmin × 56 arcmin) 3D-spectroscopic survey of the ionized gas disc of Messier 33. Fabry–Perot interferometry has been used...

Bacteriologic al assessment of drinking water sources in the vicinities of Lakes Nyos and Monoun (Cameroon, Central Africa)
Rosine E Tiodjio, Wilson Y Fantong , Kamtchueng B Tchakam , Gregory Tanyileke , Takeshi Ohba , Victor J Hell , Minoru Kusakabe , Shogo Nakamura and Akira UedaCette étude a porté sur l'identification d'indicateurs biologiques de pollution des sources d'eau
souterraine à proximité des lacs Nyos et Monoun. Diverses méthodes de culture ont été utilisées pour
détecter et compter les coliformes totaux, les coliformes fécaux et les...

A multitracer approach for assessing the origin, apparent age and recharge mechanism of shallow groundwater in the Lake Nyos catchment, Northwest, Cameroon
Brice Tchakam Kamtchueng, Wilson Yetoh Fantong, Mengnjo Jude Wirmvem, Rosine Edwige Tiodjio, Alain Fouépé Takounjou, Kazuyoshi Asai, Serges L. Bopda Djomou b , Minoru Kusakabe a , Takeshi Ohba, Gregory Tanyileke, Joseph Victor Hell, Akira UedaUne approche reposant sur la datation des eaux souterraines et les investigations hydrochimiques a permis
d’évaluer l'origine, l'âge apparent et les mécanismes de recharge des eaux souterraines riches en CO2 qui
contribueraient à la recharge de gaz carbonique du lac Nyos. Un modèle de...

Détection biologique des résidus d’antibiotiques dans le lait et produits laitiers de vache consommés à Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Touwendsida Serge Bagré, Serge Samandoulougou, Mahamady Traoré, Daniel Illy, Gertrude Bsadjo- Tchamba, Hadiza Bawa-Ibrahim, S. Caroline Bouda, Alfred S. Traoré, Nicolas BarroObjectif : L’élevage traditionnel au Burkina n’associe pas généralement les bonnes pratiques vétérinaires. Il se traduit par une utilisation anarchique des antibiotiques et le non-respect des délais d’attente. L’objectif est de mettre en évidence les résidus d’antibiotiques...

Screening of antibiotics residues in beef consumed in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Serge SAMANDOULOUGOU, André Jules ILBOUDO, Touwendsida Serge BAGRE, Fidèle W. TAPSOBA, Aly SAVADOGO, Marie-Louise SCIPPO and Alfred S. TRAOREThe anarchic use of antibiotics for therapeutic purposes or as a growth factor in Burkina Faso’s breeding is the origin of their residues present in consumed meat. These antibiotics residues have health, technological and microbiological consequences. The objective of this first study is to...
