Do you have 5 min? Improving Call Graph Analysis with Runtime Information
Jordan Samhi, Marc Miltenberger, Marco Alecci, Steven Arzt, Tegawendé Bissyandé, Jacques Klein
Constructing precise and sound call graphs is fundamental for effective static analysis, yet it remains a significant challenge in today's software. Traditionally, researchers have developed sophisticated algorithms to address this issue, often resulting in increased computational costs. But what if we could provide a simple, cost-effective wa(...)

Orange-fleshed sweet potato: a potential source of antioxidants and provitamins “A” for the fortification of a local infant food flour.
Adama Hema, Moumouni Koala, Oumar Toé, Koussao Somé, Eloi Palé, Abdoulaye Sérémé, Jacques Simporé, Mouhoussine Nacro
Orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) is a potential source of carotenoids (provitamins A), and its flour has
been used to enrich the Misola, an infant food based flour. The new biofortified formulation presented nutritional
qualities which could contribute in protein-energy recovery and improvement of the immune status of moderate
malnourishe(...)

Somatomedin C (IGF-1), Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEA-S) and Hcy Metabolism in Postmenopausal African Women
Cecilia Zuppi, Jacques Simpore, Bruno Zappacosta, Cinzia Carrozza, Mariano Malaguarnera, Salvatore Musumeci
Biological aging implies a progressive decrease of endocrine and metabolic
resources, which correspond to a reduction of working activity and caloric intake.
The aim of this study was to measure DHEA-S and IGF-1 and products of
methionine metabolism in 76 postmenopausal African women (50 to 100 years of
age) compared to 22 adult African fe(...)

Stéréotypes et autocensure : l'impact des stéréotypes sociaux sur les aspirations et le potentiel réel des étudiants du Burkina Faso
DAKUYO Elie Corneille
Cet article analyse, à travers une revue critique de la littérature et une approche théorique issue de la psychologie de l'orientation et du travail, comment les stéréotypes sociaux (liés au genre, à l'origine sociale et régionale) peuvent conduire à un mécanisme d'autocensure chez les étudiants universitaires au Burkina Faso. En mobilisant le(...)

Accuracy of height gauge for praziquantel administration in a schistosomiasis endemic village in Burkina Faso
R.F. Compaoré, M. Sou/Dakouré, B. Savadogo, H. Yacouba, J. Simporé
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the height gauge used for praziquantel doses estimation. 258 individuals were recruited. The weight and height of each individual were measured and the number of tablets to be administered was calculated based on each parameter. It appeared from the analysis of hei(...)

On the Dynamics of a SEIHR Model With Delays in Diagnosis and a Class of General Incidence Functions
Ali TRAORE, F. Victorien KONANE
The susceptible, exposed, infectious, hospitalized, and recovered (SEIHR) model with delays in diagnosis is investigated. A class of general incidence functions is considered. The threshold for the model is determined, and the stabilities of the equilibrium points are examined. The effects of the delay in diagnosis on the spread of the disease(...)

Analyse multicritère pour l’optimisation des interventions en matière d’approvisionnement en eau potable dans la Commune de Korsimoro au Burkina Faso
DAHANI Dramane, OUEDRAOGO Yahaya, SODORE Abdoul Azise
Access to drinking water remains a problem in search of solutions in African countries. In Burkina Faso, more precisely in the rural commune of Korsimoro, water chores persist despite numerous actions undertaken by the State and its partners, hence the need to improve the effectiveness of interventions. This study aims to optimize intervention(...)

Modeling and simulation of disused radioactive sources’ dose distribution in a proposed centralized waste management facility and dose optimization using the Monte Carlo transport code (MCNP)
Karim Hié, I.K. Baidoo, E.T. Glover, E. Shitsi , Vincent Agbodemegbe, Martial Zoungrana, Christian Bangou
Radioactive sources are extensively utilized in research, medical (non-invasive diagnosis, radiotherapy, etc),
industry (radiography, well logging, industrial gauge, etc.), and agricultural applications like pest control, food
preservation (irradiation), etc. However, once the intended purpose of its design is no longer required (i.e., the(...)
