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(...)

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(...)

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(...)
