Effect of slanted soil design and filter media distribution on the removal of fecal bacteria and organic matter from greywater
MAIGA Ynoussa, NDIAYE Awa, SANGARE Drissa, BITIE Emeline, USHIJIMA Ken
Slanted Soil Treatment System (SSTS) was previously designed for onsite greywater treatment. In this study, several configurations were tested with granitic gravel in order to improve its efficiency. The lowest average removal efficiencies for fecal coliforms, enterococci and E. coli were 1.78, 2.15 and 2.21 log u. respectively and originated(...)

The emergence of HIV-1 drug resistance (HIVDR) is a public health problem that affects women and children. Local data of HIVDR is critical to improving their care and treatment. So, we investigated HIVDR in mothers and infants receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) at Saint Camille Hospital of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. This study included 50(...)

A New Clipping Function for PAPR Mitigation: The Gaussian Clipping Function
Jacques Palicot, Yves Louet, Désiré Guel
A Gaussian function to clip multicarrier modulation is presented in this paper in order to decrease their Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). The Gaussian clipping (GC) function is a soft non-linear function which keeps constant the average power of the signal, what is a characteristic of great importance in real transmission. The characterist(...)

Abstract. Background and Objective: The improved performance of serological tests has significantly reduced the risk of human immunodeficiency and hepatitis B and C viruses transmission by blood transfusion, but there is a persistence of residual risk. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of multiplex PCR in reducing the risk(...)

Les dissensions au sein des partis politiques burkinabè de 1960 à 2005 : causes et impacts
COULIBALY Hervé Landry
Dans l’histoire politique récente du Burkina Faso, l’autorité politique, celle qui règle la vie de la cité, a conduit les hommes à s’affronter pour le pouvoir dans la cité. Cela crée de nombreuses dissensions au sein des formations politiques burkinabé. Quels sont alors les principales raisons de ces dissensions et leur impact sur la consolida(...)

Analyse thématique de Je veux dire ton nom Naëtt de L. S. Senghor
SARE/MARE Honorine
Ce travail analyse les deux sens du poème de L. S. Senghor intitulé Je veux dire ton nom Naëtt… ». Le premier sens du texte parle de l’amour passionnel que le narrateur éprouve pour sa bien-aimée. Par contre, le second sens traite du thème de la mort selon la démarche méthodologique de J. Starobinski que nous avons choisie.

Solenostemon rotundifolius [(Poir.) J. K. Morton] (Lamiaceae) is commonly called Fabirama, Frafra potato or Innala. It is a tuber crop cultivated in many countries in Africa and Asia. Its tubers contain significant rate of carbohydrates, proteins, fibers, vitamins and antioxidants. Besides its nutritional attributes, S. rotundifolius has also(...)

Mathematical modeling of malaria transmission global dynamics: taking into account the immature stages of the vectors
KOUTOU Ousmane, TRAORE Bakary, SANGARE Boureima
In this paper we present a mathematical model of malaria transmission. The model is an autonomous system, constructed by considering two models: a model of vector population and a model of virus transmission. The threshold dynamics of each model is determined and a relation between them established. Furthermore, the Lyapunov principle is appli(...)

Background: Distal embolization during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (p-PCI) in the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with a poor prognosis. In this situation, thrombectomy is performed to prevent distal embolization and to restore myocardial reperfusion. The aim of our study was to dete(...)

Some reproductive aspects of Oreochromis niloticus (LINNAEUS, 1758) at Peele reservoir, Nakanbé River Basin, Burkina Faso
Gnoumou Siéfo Parfait, Oueda Adama, Ndiaye Awa, Gneme Awa, Guenda Wendengoudi, Ndiaye Papa and Kabre Boureima Gustave
Some reproductive parameters of Oreochromis niloticus have been studied from April 2015 to Mars 2017 at Peelé reservoir, Burkina Faso. Specimens of O. niloticus were collected monthly from traditional fishing. The overall sex-ratio was 1:0.98. Breeding period occurred from April to July and the spawning of oocytes began at the end of July. The(...)

Interprétation délicate de l'immunofixation des protéines sériques
Raoul Karfo, Elie Kabré, Nadia Safir, Mounya Bouabdellah, Laila Benchekroun, Jean Sakandé, Layachi Chabraoui
L'immunofixation est actuellement très utilisée dans les laboratoires d'analyses médicales. L'interprétation des résultats est en général facile, mais il existe des cas qui posent des problèmes d'interprétation. Nous vous rapportons deux observations d'interprétation délicate. Dans la première observation, nous présentons un cas de précipitati(...)

Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Fractions from Bidens engleri O.E. Schulz (Asteraceae) and Boerhavia erecta L. (Nyctaginaceae),
Moussa COMPAORÉ, Sahabi BAKASSO, Roland Nâg Tiero MEDA and Odile Germaine NACOULMA
Selon des études récentes, les espèces oxygénées réactives sont les précurseurs du développement de maladies métaboliques chez l'homme. L'utilisation d'antioxydants naturels est le meilleur moyen d'arrêter ou de prévenir ce problème. L’objectif de cette étude était donc d’évaluer les activités antioxydantes et anti-inflammatoires et de quantif(...)

Optical and microphysical analysis of aerosols in Sahelian Zone: Case of the Ouagadougou City in Burkina Faso
Bado Nébon, Mamadou Simina Dramé, Korgo Bruno, Kieno P. Florent, Saidou Moustapha Sall and Bathiebo Dieudonné Joseph
This paper analyzes aerosols in the Sahelian zone, particularly in Burkina Faso, based on in situ measurements of the AERONET network made from 1999 to 2006. Indeed, we characterize aerosols by studying their optical and microphysical parameters measured on the site of Ouagadougou (12.2° N, 1.4° W). Thus, several types of days were defined bas(...)

Technologies, qualité et importance socioéconomique du poisson séché en Afrique
Hissein O. Abdoullahi, François Tapsoba, Flibert Guira, Cheikna Zongo , Lawane Idriss Abakar , Abdelsalam Tidjani , Aly Savadogo*
Les pertes post-captures constituent un problème reconnu dans la sous-région. En Afrique subsaharienne,
environ 25 % du poisson sont perdus par manque de moyens efficaces de conservation et de transformation. Les
techniques traditionnelles (le salage, le séchage et le fumage) sont des moyens utilisés pour conserver et
