Roseline T. M. Bleoussi , Innocent Bokossa Yaou , Mamadou Fofana , Nestor H. I. Bassole , Guy A. Mensah , Nébpawinde Kabore and Célestin K. C. Tchekessi
Rice grain quality indicators are important in varietal development and subsequent adoption by farmers and
consumers. Two experiments were carried out during dry season 2013 in an open field and wet season 2014 in
a screen house to assess the effect of four levels of soil moisture content on rice grain quality indicators (Head(...)

Modeling battery cells under discharge using kinetic and stochastic battery models
Ingemar Kaj, Victorien Konané
In this paper we review several approaches to mathematical modeling of simple battery cells and develop these ideas further with emphasis on charge recovery and the response behavior of batteries to given external load. We focus on models which use few parameters and basic battery data, rather than detailed reaction and material characteristic(...)

Study of eutrophication’s precursors items of the 3rd dam water in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
100. TAPSOBA Fidèle WEND-BÉNÉDO, Françis KERE DAKELGBA, Jean DIARRA, Abdourahimou BARRY, Hagrétou SAWADOGO-LINGANI, Dayéri DIANOU et Mamoudou H. DICKO
In a framework of monitoring the quality of surface water intended for drinking, the evolution of
eutrophication’s precursors (nitrogenous substances and phosphorus) of Ouagadougou’s third (rd) dam has
been done in the standard base period from September 2012 to December 2012. The chemical measures have
been determined by molecular absorpti(...)

Aperçu de la culture du voandzou (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdcourt) au Burkina Faso: enjeux et perspectives d’amélioration de sa productivité.
Adjima OUOBA, Mahama OUEDRAOGO, Mahamadou SAWADOGO et Sabine NADEMBEGA
Le voandzou constitue avec le niébé, les deux principales légumineuses alimentaires pour de
nombreuses populations rurales et la frange pauvre des citadins au Burkina Faso. Cependant, des informations
émanant de l’environnement de production de cette culture selon la perception des producteurs sont quasi
inexistantes. Cette étude vise à s’i(...)

« Punctuation in Moore Literature »
André Kaboré
There are some important conventional and cultural aspects in punctuation. Quotation marks, for example, are different in French, English and German: « », “ ”, and„ ” respectively. Owing to these differences, languages may be identified
from the punctuation marks being used. Works on the writing of the Moore language such as the Institut Nat(...)

Effect of post-treatment conditions on the inactivation of helminth eggs (Ascaris suum) after the composting process
DARIMANI Hamidatu S., ITO Ryusei, MAIGA Ynoussa, SOU Mariam, FUNAMIZU Naoyuki, MAIGA Amadou Hama
Safe and appropriate disposal of human waste is a basic requirement for sanitation and protection of public health. For proper sanitation and nutrient recovery, it is necessary to ensure effective treatment methods to complete pathogen destruction in excreta prior to reuse. Composting toilets convert faeces to a reusable resource such as ferti(...)

Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli are zoonotic bacteria commonly present in animal gut. The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of diarrheagenic E. coli isolated from raw meats and intestines in open markets of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. A total of 450 samples were collected from beef, mutton, beef intestine and sheep intestine, in r(...)

Diversity and seasonal distribution of parasites of Oreochromis niloticus in semi-arid reservoirs (West Africa, Burkina Faso)
Yamba Sinaré, Magloire Boungou, Adama Ouéda, Awa Gnémé and Gustave B. Kabré
This study aimed to investigate the diversity, abundance, intensity, and seasonal distribution of parasites of Oreochromis niloticus. A total of 254 specimens of O. niloticus was sampled in Loumbila and Ziga reservoirs in both rainy and dry season and examined for parasites. The total prevalence was 55.90% and the highest seasonal prevalence,(...)

In Burkina Faso, Abelmoschus esculentus is especially appreciated for its fruits, which are requested throughout the year by consumers. However, its production is based on local varieties which are little productive. In order to identify the characters of interest, to increase production and enhance the value of local genetic resources of the(...)
