Geospatial Modeling and Hierarchical Clustering of Hydrogeological Borehole Parameters: Application to the Centre-Ouest Area, Burkina Faso
Fabrice Ouoba, Vini Yves Bernadin Loyara, Hay Yoba Talkibing, Diakarya Barro
This study presents an integrated geostatistical and multivariate clustering framework to characterize hydrogeological variability across 261 boreholes in the crystalline basement aquifers of Burkina Faso. Spatial autocorrelation analysis based on Moran’s I indicates significant spatial dependence for borehole depth (I = 0.088, p = 0.0059) and(...)

Meteorological drought trends in Burkina Faso (1991–2023): A monthly and seasonal rainfall anomaly index analysis
Joseph Yaméogo, Songanaba Rouamba, Suzanne Koala
This article analyzes monthly and seasonal spatial trends in drought within Burkina Faso using the Rainfall Anomaly Index (RAI). Rainfall data from the Burkina National Meteorological Agency (1991–2023) were processed using the R package ‘precinctcon’ and hydroTSM. Trends were then evaluated using Spearman’s Rho (SR) tests and Inverse Distance(...)

Boundary Layers and Heavy Tails in Finance
Mamadou Birba, Moussa Bagayogo, Vini Yves Bernadin Loyara
This paper proposes a unified framework combining Extreme Value Theory (EVT) and nonlinear partial differential equations to model financial returns on the BRVM. We conjecture a link between the EVT tail index ξ and the p-Laplacian exponent p: ξ=1/(p−1) . The conjecture is motivated by a heuristic boundary layer analysis (which suggests ξ=1/p(...)

Reproductive Agency: Validation of a Measure for Women's Autonomy in Family Planning and Sexual Intercourse in Burkina Faso
Fiacre Bazié, Yentéma Onadja, Abdramane B. Soura, Meagan E. Byrne & Fernand B. Bationo
The links between women's empowerment and their reproductive health remain complex due to persistent challenges in defining empowerment and its various components, as well as the factors shaping it in different contexts. These difficulties also stem from the inability to conceptualize reproductive empowerment as an independent process that bot(...)

Toward an Operational Intrusion Detection and Prevention System for SDN-IoT: A Cascaded Deep Learning Approach with Automatic Mitigation
Yacouba OUATTARA,Yaya TRAORE, Abdoul Razak TARPAGA
Abstract—The convergence of software-defined networking and the Internet of Things widens the attack surface of connected networks
and calls for defenses able to detect attacks at the controller's vantage point and to block them there. Earlier work compared deep
architectures for denial-of-service attack detection and opened two perspectives(...)

Experimental Performance Evaluation of a Low-Cost Cylindrical Solar Concentrator for Thermal Cooking Applications in a Tropical Climate
Prince Abdoul Aziz Honadia , Bouto Kossi Imbga and Thierry Sikoudouin Maurice Ky
Access to clean and affordable cooking energy remains a challenge in developing regions, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where traditional biomass fuels are widely used and are associated with environmental and health concerns. Solar cooking provides a renewable alternative; however, the practical application of low-cost cylindrical solar(...)

Introduction. Les plaies abdominales par arme à feu (PAAF) constituent une urgence
chirurgicale vitale, particulièrement dans les zones de conflit armé où les ressources médicales
sont limitées. Au Burkina Faso, l'insécurité croissante expose les populations civiles et
militaires à ces traumatismes sévères, dont la prise en charge reste(...)

Multitrait Selection for Average Performance of Rice Varieties Under Drip Irrigation Using MGIDI and FAI-BLUP Techniques
Dominique Nikiéma, Tégawendé Odette Bonkoungou, Koffi Brice Aymar Kouassi, Kouka Fidèle Tiendrébéogo, Yapi lssoufou Sinaré, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo
Rice is among the most important worldwide staple food grains. However, limited water availability for rice production has resulted in substantial yield reductions. To mitigate this constraint, the adoption of pressurized irrigation systems appears essential for rice production in Burkina Faso. It is therefore crucial to identify genotypes sui(...)

Responses of seven cowpea (Vigna unguiculataL. WALP) genotypes to 14-day water deficitsat various phenological stages
Yannick Bassolé, Teyioué Benoit Joseph Batieno and Hugues Roméo Bazié
In West Africa, cowpea is a key crop valued for its nutritional, ecological, andeconomic value. However, this region of the world frequently suffers from drought,which severely compromises the productivity of this species. Varietal selection, oneof the most effective approaches to adressing this constraint, requires identifyingthe most sensiti(...)
