Handling conditions and microbial contamination of fish from Ouagadougou markets in Burkina Faso
Achille S. OUEDRAOGO, Adama OUEDA, Awa GNEME, Gueswendé L. SAVADOGO, Nicolas BARRO & Gustave B. KABRE
The purpose of this study was to analyze the handling conditions and microbial contamination of fish from Ouagadougou markets. In spite of the fact that fish consumption is linked to several events of alimentary infection in Burkina Faso, fewer studies were dedicated to this issue. The study was conducted using two approaches. First, an invest(...)

GHASP: an Hα kinematics survey of spiral galaxies - XII. Distribution of luminous and dark matter in spiral and irregular nearby galaxies using Rc-band photometry
M. Korsaga, P. Amram, C. Carignan and B. Epinat
Mass models of 100 nearby spiral and irregular galaxies, covering morphological types from Sa to Irr, are computed using H α rotation curves and Rc-band surface brightness profiles. The kinematics was obtained using a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer. One of the aims is to compare our results with those from Korsaga et al., which used mid-i(...)

Experimental study of the thermo-physical properties of lateritic blocks used in the habitat in dry tropical climate
Emmanuel Ouédraogo, Ousmane Coulibaly, B. Kossi Imbga, P. Florent Kiéno and Abdoulaye Ouédraogo ;
This article presents an experimental study on the thermo-physical characterization of local
materials used in building construction. These materials are laterite cut blocks from three different
quarries. The characterization was done with the hot plate device and the asymmetrical method
was used. All the samples studied have(...)

Tone Reservation Based Gaussian Clipping and Filtering for OFDM PAPR Mitigation
Palicot Jacques, Louet Yves, Guel, Desire
In this paper, a new Tone Reservation (TR) method to decrease the OFDM Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is described. The proposed TR method is based on a new Clipping Function: the Gaussian function to generate the signal which will be inserted on the reserved tones. The advantages of this approach is twofold: First, the Gaussian clipping f(...)

Namwin Siourimè Somda, Aly Savadogo, Ouindgueta Juste Isidore Bonkoungou, Abdoul Aziz Wane, Cheikna Zongo, Yves Traoré , Amy Gassama-Sow
Strains resistant to third-generation cephalosporins are now emerging. Several authors reported an increased prevalence and diversity of ESBLs in the CTX-M family worldwide [5]. In recent years several studies have described the emergence of ESBL-producing Salmonella strains harboring the CTX-M9 gene worldwide [6]. However, to our knowledge, n(...)

Aperçu des migrations intra-africaines : l’émigration des Burkinabè au Ghana et en Côte d’Ivoire et la contribution de la diaspora au développement du Burkina Faso
Ouédraogo Serge Noël
Les migrations internationales des Burkinabés sont surtout orientées vers les pays de la sous-région
ouest africaine, en particulier le Ghana et la Côte d’Ivoire. Favorisées par une conjonction de facteurs,
ces migrations sont à l’origine de la présence dans ces pays d’accueil d’une forte diaspora burkinabè.
Celle-ci contribue de manière(...)
