Post-harvest management and phytosanitary practices used to preserve sorrel seeds, Hibiscus sabdariffa L. in Burkina Faso
Kabore, E., Kambou, SF., Kam, K. W., Koussoube J. C., KI, K, F, M., Sanon, A . & Ilboudo, Z., 2024
In the lack of a suitable control strategy, sorrel seeds are heavily damaged by S. niger during the storage. Better post-harvest management will make it possible to add value to this legume and make it available throughout the year. The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the various post-harvest practices applied to sorrel(...)

Effect of Water-Cement Ratio and Liquidity Index on the Deep Mixing Method using Cement Slurry: A Case Study of Kaolin Clay Powder.
D. D. SOME , H. USUI, M. J. SINDETE , K. MITSUSE , J. L. PASTOR and T. HINO
The liquidity index is a crucial factor in geotechnical engineering
used to assess soil behavior under varying loading conditions. It
provides valuable information about a soil's deformability when
subjected to loads, which is vital for structural and foundation
design. In the domain of soil-cement, especially within the deep
mixing(...)

Background: In Burkina Faso, only 70% of people living with HIV knew their status in 2018, while the first 95 target of the UNAIDS suggests that by 2025 at least 95% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) know their HIV status. Female sex workers (FSW) are one of the most HIV-vulnerable groups, making it crucial to estimate the rate and associated(...)

Exploration of entomotherapeutic potential of bees’ products and termite nests from Burkina Faso
Mamadou Ouango, Hama Cissé, Rahim Romba, Samuel Fogné Drabo, Rasmané Semdé, Aly Savadogo, Olivier Gnankiné
In Burkina Faso, products and nests of insect are used for therapeutic purposes in traditional medicine. However, this
use by local populations is marginal and empirical. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of extracts of bees’ products and termite nests. Thus, the collected termite nests were finely ground.(...)

CONSTRUCTION OF A CLASS OF COPULAS WITH HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL SECTION OF A HOMOGRAPHIC FUNCTION
Herman Tiemtoré, Bagre Remi Guillaume, Loyara Vini Yves Bernadin
The construction of multivariate distributions with arbitrary margins has been a problem of interest to statisticians for many years, but nowadays, by virtue of Sklar’s theorem, this problem can be reduced to the construction of a copula. However, there is no general method for constructing a copula. In order to provide a partial solution to t(...)

Variation in fruits and seeds traits of Saba senegalensis (A.DC.) Pichon along a climatic gradient in Burkina Faso, West Africa: implications for its sustainable management
Sata Diawara, Fidèle Bognounou, Patrice Savadogo, Amadé Ouédraogo
Environmental heterogeneity and genetic variation may be reflected in the within-species variation of different fruit traits. These traits related variations are important for guiding the process of adapting wild plants for human use through domestication. Saba senegalensis (A.DC.) Pichon is a multi-purpose woody liana found throughout sub-Sah(...)

Mise en place de valeurs de références pour les paramètres hématologiques par méthodes indirectes au Burkina Faso: Résultats d’une étude préliminaire
Koumpingnin Nebie, Salam Sawadogo, Myriam Nikiema, Fabienne Sanou, Catherine Traore, Charles Sawadogo, Eleonore Kafando
Introduction : L’hémogramme est l’une des analyses de biologie médicale les plus prescrites en pratique médicale. Comme pour tout paramètre biologique, son interprétation se fait par comparaison à des valeurs de références (VR) prédéfinies et adaptées à la population d’origine du patient. Or, la majorité de nos pays utilisent des valeurs de ré(...)
