Characterization and Evaluation of the Agronomic Suitability of Three Soil Types for Sorghum Production in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Burkina Faso
Adama Ilboudo , Daouda Guébré , Harouna Ouédraogo, Aminata Ganeme, Koulibi Fidèle Zongo, Edmond Hien
Declining agricultural fertility represent a major challenge to food security in the Sudano-Sahelian areas. In this context, it is essential to cultivate resilient cereals, such as sorghum, whose productivity depends heavily on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil. This study aims to assess soil chemical fertility in o(...)

LLM for Mobile: An Initial Roadmap
Daihang Chen, Yonghui Liu, Mingyi Zhou, Yanjie Zhao, Haoyu Wang, Shuai Wang, Xiao Chen, Tegawendé F. Bissyandé, Jacques Klein, Li Li
When mobile meets LLMs, mobile app users deserve to have more intelligent usage experiences. For this to happen, we argue that there is a strong need to apply LLMs for the mobile ecosystem. We therefore provide a research roadmap for guiding our fellow researchers to achieve that as a whole. In this roadmap, we sum up six directions that we be(...)

Improvement of Multi-criteria Evaluation Tools by AHP-ELECTRE II Hybridization: Application to Drilling
Ouédraogo Naboinswendé Macaire, Savadogo Zoïnabo, Gouba Elisée
Elimination and Reality Choices (ELECTRE II) and Hierarchical Decision Process Analysis (HDPA) methods are widely used in decision support. Although they are effective in many cases, they are not without their limitations. The AHP method is sometimes considered to be compensatory. As for the ELECTRE II method, it lacks rigorous tools for setti(...)

Just-in-Time Detection of Silent Security Patches
Xunzhu Tang, Kisub Kim, Saad Ezzini, Yewei Song, Haoye Tian, Jacques Klein, Tegawende Bissyande
Open-source code is pervasive. In this setting, embedded vulnerabilities are spreading to downstream software at an alarming rate. Although such vulnerabilities are generally identified and addressed rapidly, inconsistent maintenance policies can cause security patches to go unnoticed. Indeed, security patches can be silent, i.e., they do not(...)

Evaluation of the Specific Growth Rate to Predict the Biogas Production Process in a Mini-Biodigester
Noufou Bagaya, Windé Nongué Daniel Koumbem, Younoussa Moussa Baldé, Sette Diop, Bruno Korgo, Sié Kam
The paper proposes an online estimation of biogas production for a household
digester. The specific growth rate of aggregated biomass of a standard chemostat is estimated
from the online measurements of dilution rate and biogas flow rate. That estimation is based
upon usual 1-stage model without additional assumption on the online availa(...)
