Realization and Experimental Study of a Hybrid Cooker (Solar-Biomass) in a Sahelian Climate
Iliyassé Konkobo, Jacques Nébié, Yomi Woro Gounkaou, Bagré Boubou, Armand Korsaga, Boumbouté Somé, Sidiki Zongo, Christian Tubreoumya Guy, Tizane Daho, Antoine Béré
Solar cookers are devices that allow cooking by using free solar energy. However, they can’t operate during cloudy periods or at night. A hybrid cooker (solar-biomass) is an alternative that uses an endogenous and renewable energy source for ecological and economical cooking. In this work, the performances of a hybrid cooker (solar-biomass) ar(...)

First investigation of blood parasites of bats in Burkina Faso detects Hepatocystis parasites and infections with diverse Trypanosoma spp.
Noel Gabiliga Thiombiano, Magloire Boungou, Bertrand Adéchègoun Mèschac Chabi, Adama Oueda, Oskar Werb & Juliane Schaer
Bats are hosts to a large diversity of eukaryotic protozoan blood parasites that comprise species of Trypanosoma and different haemosporidian parasite taxa and bats have played an important role in the evolutionary history of both parasite groups. However, bats in several geographical areas have not been investigated, including in Burkina Faso(...)

Boureima Traoré, Soumaïla Ouédraogo, Daouda Oubda, Marcel Bawindsom Kébré, Adama Zongo, Issiaka Sankara, Francois Zougmoré
In this paper, we use the SCAPS-1D software for the numerical simulation of the Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cell with a ZnSe-based buffer layer. The study focuses on the influence of the ZnSe buffer layer on the performance of the CIGS solar cell. In this study, the analysis of the effect of the ZnSe buffer layer thickness revealed that optimum(...)

Impacts of Intra-Seasonal Rainfall Variability and Cropping Practices on Cereal Yields in Sub-Saharan Africa
KABORE Pamalba Narcise, SANON Moussa, OUEDRAOGO Amadé, BARBIER Bruno, BARRO Albert
West African Sahel is one of the most exposed areas to the adverse effects of climate variability. All the agricultural production systems are affected, exposing local populations to food insecurity and poverty. This study aimed to assess the impacts of intra-seasonal rainfall variability and cropping practices on cereal yields in the North Ce(...)
