Potentials for promoting oil products identified from traditional knowledge of native trees in Burkina Faso
A. OUEDRAOGOOil products from native trees are far from fully exploited in West Africa. Only well-known species like shea (Vitellaria paradoxa CF Gaertn.) and oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) receive attention. We used quantitative questionnaires in 12 villages in Western Burkina Faso to assess the...

Refractory bricks based on Tikaré (Burkina Faso) kaolinitic raw clay material
Mohamed Seynou, Pierre Flament, Moustapha Sawadogo, Jacques Tirlocq, Raguilnaba OuedraogoA raw clay material deposit in Burkina Faso has been used for refractory bricks production in the lab. The
extruded raw clay material has been fired at 1400°C to produce a chamotte grog that has been crushed into different
particle sizes. These have been mixed with 14%.wt of the raw clay...

Algèbres de Lie triple sans idempotent
Joseph Bayara, Amidou Konkobo, Moussa OuattaraIdempotents play an important role in the investigation of nonassociative algebras structure ([2],[18],,[21]). However, the existence of such elements is not always guaranteed, specially when dealing with algebras that are defined by polynomial identities. Hence, in many cases, one has to assume...
