Land cover change and plants diversity in the Sahel: A case study from northern Burkina Faso
B. NACOULMA
Understanding land cover degradation patterns and the effects of geomorphological units on phytodiversity is important for guiding management decisions and restoration strategies in the Sahelian vulnerables zones. This paper describes land cover degradation by combining Landsat TM image analysis and field data measurements in the Gourouol catc(...)

Theoretical Investigation of Base doping and illumination level effects on a bifacial silicon solar cell.
10.9734/BJAST/2015/1562810.9734/BJAST/2015/15628
In this paper, we are investigating theoretically the behavior of a bifacial silicon solar cell in steady state with different illumination conditions. The bifaciality coefficient and the conversion efficiencyare calculated for various rear side illumination conditions (traduced here by the illumination le(...)

Microbiological Quality of Surface Water Treated with Moringa oleifera Seeds or Cakes during the Storage: Case Study of Water Reservoirs of Loumbila, Ziga and Ouaga 3 Dams in Burkina Faso
Kabore Aminata, Savadogo Boubacar, Otoidobiga C.Harmonie, Sawadogo Adama, Rosillon Francis, Traore S. Alfred, Dianou Dayéri
Water purification with Moringa oleifera seeds has received a lot of attention because it reduces water turbidity and pathogenic microorganisms. However, it is important to define the optimum conditions of storage to preserve the treated water quality. The study aims to investigate microbial quality of water treated with Moringa oleifera seeds(...)

Effect of land degradation on carbon and nitrogen pools in two soil types of a semi-arid landscape in West Africa
S. TRAORE
To determine the resilience of soil organic C and N pools during land degradation processes in a semi-arid landscape of West Africa, we compared the magnitude of soil organic C and N differences in bulk soil and aggregate fractions between contrasting types of land cover (degraded land and native land cover) and soil (Luvisols and Cambisols).(...)

Fabrication of Amorphous Silver Nanowires by Helium Ion Beam Irradiation
Shehla, Ali A., Zongo S., Javed I, Ishaq A., Khizar H., Naseem S., Maaza M.
Amorphous silver nanowires (a-Ag NWs) are fabricated from crystalline Ag NWs by using 5 MeV helium (He+) ion beam irradiation. At low dose (5×1015 ion/cm2), few defects are created in Ag NWs. As dose increases, more damage to the crystalline structure of Ag NWs is observed. Finally at high dose (8×1016 ion/cm2), the face-centered cubic structu(...)

Fertility Decline and Child Schooling in Urban Settings of Burkina Faso
Bougma Moussa, Thomas K. LeGrand et Jean-François Kobiané
As evidenced in Western rich countries, Asia, and Latin America, lower fertility allows couples to invest more in each of their children's schooling. This postulate is the key rationale of family planning policies in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet, most studies on Africa have found no correlation or even a positive relationship between the number of(...)

Understanding inequities in child vaccination rates among the urban poor: Evidence from Nairobi and Ouagadougou health and demographic surveillance systems
B. SOURA
Studies on informal settlements in sub-Saharan Africa have questioned the health benefits of urban residence, but this should not suggest that informal settlements (within cities and across cities and/or countries) are homogeneous. They vary in terms of poverty, pollution, overcrowding, criminality, and social exclusion. Moreover, while some i(...)

Sia Yatabéré entre mythe, théâtre et cinéma
SANOU Fatou Ghislaine
Cet article s’intéresse aux questions d’adaptation des œuvres littéraires, notamment celle des personnages de la littérature au cinéma. Si cette pratique n’est pas récente en Afrique francophone, elle a le plus souvent concerné les romans et les contes. Ainsi, l’étude s’appuie sur l’exemple du film Sia, le rêve du python de Dani Kouyaté (2001)(...)
