Stability analysis of a schistosomiasis model with delays
Aboudramane Guiro, Stanislas Ouaro, Ali TraoréIn this work, a nonlinear deterministic model for schistosomiasis transmission including delays with two general incidence functions is considered. A rigorous mathematical analysis is done. We show that the stability of the disease-free equilibrium and the existence of an endemic equilibrium for...

Competition and facilitation-related factors impacts on crop performance in an agro-forestry parkland system in Burkina Faso
H. BAZIEParkia biglobosa and Vitellaria paradoxa are known to improve soil fertility and redistribute water under their crowns in parkland systems. A field experiment was conducted to separate above and belowground interactions between these species and associated Sorghum bicolor using root trenching...

Got issues? who cares about it? a large scale investigation of issue trackers from github
T. BISSYANDEFeedback from software users constitutes a vital part in the evolution of software projects. By filing issue reports, users help identify and fix bugs, document software code, and enhance the software via feature requests. Many studies have explored issue reports, proposed approaches to enable...

RELATING LOSS OF SOIL FERTILITY TO WATER AGGREGATE STABILITY AND NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY IN MOUNTAIN AGRICULTURAL CALCARIC SOILS
Patrizia Guidi, Gloria Falsone, Boussa Tockville Mare, Andrea Simoni, Paola Gioacchini, Gilmo VianelloWe investigated the topsoil from some mountain Regosols for their nutrient status and loss of fertility due to aggregate breakdown, establishing also the relationship between the nutrient losses, the soil characteristics and the aggregates stability. The aggregate stability varied from 57 to...

Effects of parental union dissolution on child mortality and schooling in Burkina Faso
Gnoumou/Thiombiano, Bilampoa, Thomas K. LeGrand and Jean-François KobianéBACKGROUND
Family structure and union dissolution has been one of the most thoroughly studied
determinants of children‘s wellbeing worldwide. To date, however, few of these studies
have examined sub-Saharan Africa, especially countries in West Africa where marital
breakdowns are not...

Molecular characterization of genetic diversity within the Africa/Middle East/Asia Minor and Sub-Saharan African groups of the Bemisia tabaci species complex
Bemisia tabaci Gennadius is a major plant pest in many agricultural systems worldwide. It is a complex of cryptic species that differ in many ecological respects, including damage-causing potential. Monitoring the genetic composition of B. tabaci populations in the field is, therefore, essential...
