Sunlight inactivation of Escherichia coli in waste stabilization microcosms in a sahelian region (Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso)
MAIGA Ynoussa , DENYIGBA Kokou, WETHE Joseph, OUATTARA Aboubakar SidikiExperiments on sunlight inactivation of Escherichia coli were conducted from November 2006 to June
2007 in eight outdoors microcosms with different depths filled with maturation pond wastewater in
order to determine pond depth influence on sunlight inactivation of E. coli. The long-term aim...

Optimization of the combustion of blends of domestic fuel oil and cottonseed oil in a non-modified domestic boiler.
Tizane Daho, Gilles Vaitilingom, Oumar SanogoThis study characterizes combustion of blends of DFO (domestic fuel–oil) and refined cottonseed oil produced in Burkina Faso at different percentages in a non-modified DFO burner by determining its overall
performance (consumption and thermal capacity) and gas emissions (CO, CO2, O2, NO, NOx,...

Experimental determination of some micro-structural and hydrous properties of a terra cotta and modelisation of hygrothermal transfers
D. BATHIEBOThis experimental study present some micro-structural and thermo-hydrous properties of terra cotta. A tube, built from this porous material, bathes in a tank filled with water. The internal surface of the wall carries a water film which evaporates by forced convection of hot and dry air,...

Artificial signals addition for reducing PAPR of OFDM systems
Guel Desire and Palicot JacquesOne of the major drawbacks of OFDM modulation is the large envelope fluctuations which either result in an inefficient use of high power amplifiers (HPA) or decreased transmission system performance. Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is a very well known measure of the envelope fluctuations and...

Exergy efficiency applied for the performance optimization of a direct injection compression ignition (CI), engine using biofuels.
Yao Azoumah, Joel Blin, Tizane Daho.The need to decrease the consumption of materials and energy and to promote the use of renewable
resources, such as biofuels, stress the importance of evaluating the performance of engines based on the
second law of thermodynamics. This paper suggests the use of exergy analysis (as an...

Convective drying characteristics of Amelie mango (Mangifera Indica L. cv.‘Amelie’) with correction for shrinkage
D. BATHIEBODrying characteristics of Amelie mango were investigated through slices shrinkage behaviour at 50, 60 and 70° C and drying kinetics at temperatures ranging from 50 to 70° C and for slices of 2.5, 5 and 10 mm thick. Results showed that mango slices shrinkage was less influenced by temperature...

Mutualism between euryhaline tilapia Sarotherodon melanotheron heudelotii and Chlorella sp. Implications for nano-algal production in warmwater phytoplankton-based recirculating systems
Gilles S.; Lacroix G., Corbin D., Bâ N’G., Luna C I., Nandjui J., Ouattara A., Ouédraogo O., and Lazzaro X.The West-African euryhaline tilapia, Sarotherodon melanotheron heudelotii shift from visually feeding on
zooplankton when juveniles to mostly filter feeding on phytoplankton when adults. When reared using
an appropriate ration in intensive aquaculture systems, S. m. heudelotii also consume...
