This study investigated agronomic characteristics of digestates from cashew nut shell and cow dung anaerobic digestion. General characteristics and agronomic value of digestates were determined using standard methods. Gaseous emissions (biogas, CH4, CO2) were evaluated. Microbiological quality of digestates was evaluated, as well as phytotoxic(...)

Background: Breast cancer, like many other noncommunicable diseases, remains a public health problem today. Although the disease is more common in people over 50, younger women are also affected. The chances of following this disease depend on the stage at which it is diagnosed, since the earlier the diagnosis, the greater the chances of survi(...)

Mellin-SBA Method for Solving Nonliear Partial Differential Equations
Traoré André, Kamate Adama and Francis Bassono
In this paper, we present a new numerical method for solving nonlinear differential and partial differential
equations. This method is the Mellin-SBA method. In the first part, we describe the SBA and Mellin-SBA
methods. The second part is devoted to solving two nonlinear problems by the Mellin-SBA method.

Introduction: Despite the deployment of different strategies for malaria control, the disease remains a public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa. Most of the studies are focused on Plasmodium falciparum, the predominant species in Africa, with a lack of data on other Plasmodium species; yet, considering them in the strategy of interventions(...)

Evaluation of the HIV/AIDS Epidemiological Surveillance System, Nouakchott Outpatient Treatment Center, Mauritania
Mohamedou HMEIED MAHAM, Pauline Kiswendsida YANOGO, Djibril BARRY, Yoda HERMANN, Abdarrahmane BAYE, Nicolas MEDA
Background: HIV/AIDS continues to be a public health problem and a major global concern. West and Central Africa had 4.9 million cases in 2019, including 240,000 new cases and about 140,000 deaths related to HIV/AIDS. In Mauritania, in 2019, according to WHO estimates, the prevalence of HIV/AIDS is estimated at 0.2%. We evaluated the HIV/AIDS(...)

Effect of Supplementary Irrigation Water and Organic Matter Amounts on Tomato Yield and Water Productivity in a Semi-arid Climate
YANOGO Wendzoodo Amélie Pélagie, KIMA Aimé Sévérin, OUOBA Samuel, KIMA Etienne and SANDWIDI Béné-Wendé Bernice
Although promoted as an alternative to secure rain-fed agriculture, supplementary irrigation cannot ensure sustainable food production, regardless of the rational and optimal use of organic matter. Therefore, an experiment was set up in a sandy loam soil (bulk density =1.55 g/cm3; field capacity =18%; wilting point=1.4%) to determine the optim(...)

Impact of traditional culinary processes on the nutritional quality of beng tigré, a mung bean variety grown in Burkina Faso
Jeanne d’Arc Wendmintiri Kabré1,2, Fatoumata Hama‑Ba2, Mamadou Sanoué2 and Aly Savadogo1*
Resilient to the effects of climate change, Mung bean is a seed legume rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds.
The objective of the study was to determine the impact of cooking processes on its nutritional quality. Mung bean
seeds of the Beng‑tigré variety are obtained from Belwet, the national sponsor. Plain Mung bean seeds (MBN) are(...)

Cholera invasion speed and the intervention strength
Komi Afassinou, Ousmane Koutou, Narcisse Roland Loufouma Makala
We formulate a mathematical model which captures the essential dynamics of cholera infection transmission. Control interventions such as vaccination program and environmental sanitation service are incorporated to analyse the impact of both interventions on the infection dynamics. The qualitative and numerical analyses of the model are carried(...)

Evaluating Supplementary Irrigation Water Depths for Improving Land and Water Productivity under Grown Tomato in a Semi-Arid Climate, Burkina Faso
Yanogo Wendzoodo Amélie Pélagie, Kima Aimé Sévérin, Ouoba Samuel, Sandwidi Béné-Wendé Bernice, Kima Etienne
Abstract:
In the actual rainwater variability and the declining water resources context, the great challenge of agriculture in Burkina Faso is to produce more with less water. That may be possible through the optimal use of water in tomato production since the yield is decreasing while the demand is still increasing particularly in the rain(...)

The road transportation sector is one of the largest contributors to fossil fuel consumption, while the energy
sector being the greatest consumer overall. Urban growth increases transport and mobility demands to meet
human needs. Few studies exist on greenhouse gas emission factors in developing countries. This study assessed
and modeled gr(...)

PAUVRETE ET ACCES DES ENFANTS A L’ENSEIGNEMENT SUPERIEUR A OUAGADOUGOU
BOUGMA Moussa
L’enseignement supérieur est un facteur important de développement socioéconomique et de promotion sociale.
C’est sans doute pour cette raison que plusieurs auteurs mettent le capital humain à travers l’éducation,
notamment l’enseignement supérieur, au centre des déterminants de la croissance d’un pays et militent pour
cela en faveur d’un p(...)
