Caractéristiques techno-morphologiques des industries lithiques de la séquence stratigraphique -50/-100 cm de l’abri-sous-roche de Maadaga (sud-est du Burkina Faso)
TOUBGA Lassané et KOTE Lassina
L'abri-sous roche de Maadaga est situé dans le massif du Gobnangou, au sud-est du Burkina Faso. A la fin des années 1980, une équipe pluridisciplinaire de l'université de Francfort y a mené des fouilles qui ont permis d'identifier cinq niveaux stratigraphiques couvrant la séquence (0/-190 cm). Les vestiges de la transition entre le 4e et le 5e(...)

Compatibility Study between Ceramic Balls and Jatropha Curcas Oil Properties under Long Time Heat Treatment: Potentiality for Thermal Energy Storage
Boubou Bagré, Makinta Boukar, Ibrahim Kolawole Muritala, Tizane Daho, Ali Diané, Bernard Nana, Armand B. Korsaga, Oluwarotimi D. Thierry Odou, Aboubakar Gomna, & Antoine Béré
Valorisation of local and low-cost eco-materials have become an imperative for the sustainable development of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) in West Africa. In this study, the compatibility tests were carried out. These involve the application of jatropha curcas oil (JCCO) and ceramic balls, which were developed from clay coal bottom ash and(...)

Assessing Carbon Emissions from Biomass Burning in Croplands in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Pawend-taoré Christian Bougma , Loyapin Bondé , Valaire Séraphin Ouehoudja Yaro, Amanuel Woldeselassie Gebremichael, Oumarou Ouédraogo
Agricultural biomass burning plays a critical role in carbon emissions, with implications for climate change. This study aims to assess carbon (C) emissions and establish C, CO, CO2 and CH4 emission factors (EFs) by simultaneously testing the effects of climatic conditions and cropland category on gas emissions. In Burkina Faso, 96 experimenta(...)

First investigation of blood parasites of bats in Burkina Faso detects Hepatocystis parasites and infections with diverse Trypanosoma spp.
Noel Gabiliga Thiombiano, Magloire Boungou, Bertrand Adéchègoun Mèschac Chabi, Adama Oueda, Oskar Werb & Juliane Schaer
Bats are hosts to a large diversity of eukaryotic protozoan blood parasites that comprise species of Trypanosoma and different haemosporidian parasite taxa and bats have played an important role in the evolutionary history of both parasite groups. However, bats in several geographical areas have not been investigated, including in Burkina Faso(...)

Enhancing Strategy CIGS Solar Cell Performance Through a New ZnSe Buffer Layer
Boureima Traoré, Soumaïla Ouédraogo, Daouda Oubda, Marcel Bawindsom Kébré, Adama Zongo, Issiaka Sankara, Francois Zougmoré
In this paper, we use the SCAPS-1D software for the numerical simulation of the Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cell with a ZnSe-based buffer layer. The study focuses on the influence of the ZnSe buffer layer on the performance of the CIGS solar cell. In this study, the analysis of the effect of the ZnSe buffer layer thickness revealed that optimum(...)

Cerebral aspergillosis commonly affects immunocompromised hosts, primarily patients on immunosuppressive therapy and those with acquired or immunodeficient states such as AIDS. We report a case of cerebral aspergillosis in a 39-year-old woman with a history of treated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Multiple fragments of fixed tissues with(...)

Background The clinical manifestations of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) can vary widely, ranging from
asymptomatic to severe, and may be influenced by the host genetic background. The aim of the present study was
to determine the frequencies of HLA-DRB1*11 and HLA-DRB1*12 allele polymorphisms and their associations with
COVID-19.
