The West African vegetation zones from the Sahara desert to the Guinean rainforests are shaped by a steep latitudinal precipitation gradient. Their taxonomical and functional composition changes considerably along this gradient. Based on comprehensive distribution data from herbariun collections and relevés this paper presents modelled distrib(...)

Insecticide resistance in Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) and Anopheles gambiae Giles (Diptera: Culicidae) could compromise the sustainability of malaria vector control strategies in West Africa
Olivier Gnankiné , Imael H.N. Bassolé , Fabrice Chandre , Isabelle Glitho , Martin Akogbeto , Roch K. Dabiré , Thibaud Martin
Insecticides from the organophosphate (OP) and pyrethroid (PY) chemical families, have respectively, been in use for 50 and 30 years in West Africa, mainly against agricultural pests, but also against vectors of human disease. The selection pressure, with practically the same molecules year after year (mainly cotton), has caused insecticide re(...)

Metabolomic-Based Study of the Leafy Gall, the Ecological Niche of the Phytopathogen Rhodococcus Fascians, as a Potential Source of Bioactive Compounds
Aminata P Nacoulma, Olivier M Vandeputte, Manuella De Lorenzi, Mondher El Jaziri, Pierre Duez
Leafy gall is a plant hyperplasia induced upon Rhodococcus fascians infection. Previously, by genomic and transcriptomic analysis, it has been reported that, at the early stage of symptom development, both primary and secondary metabolisms are modified. The present study is based on the hypothesis that fully developed leafy gall, could represe(...)

Anti-nociceptive properties in rodents and the possibility of using polyphenol-rich fractions from Sida urens L. (Malvaceae) against of dental caries bacteria
Konaté K., Zerbo P., Ouédraogo M., Dibala I.C., Hilou A., Oksana S., Brestic M., Barro N.
Sida urens L. (Malvaceae) is in flora of Asian medicinal herbs and used traditionally in West of Burkina Faso for the treatment of infectious diseases and particularly used against, dental caries bacteria, fever, pain and possesses analgesic properties. This study was conducted to reveal the antibacterial effect against dental caries bacteria(...)

Entropy solution to nonlinear multivalued elliptic problem with variable exponents and measure data
Ismae ̈l Nyanquini, Stanislas Ouaro, and Safimba Soma
We study a nonlinear elliptic problem governed by a general Leray-Lions operator
with variable exponents and diffuse Radon measure data that does not charge the sets of zero
p(.)-capacity. We prove a decomposition theorem for these measures (more precisely, as a sum ′
of a function in L1(Ω) and of a measure in W−1,p (.)(Ω)) and an existence(...)

Influence of engine load and fuel droplet size on performance of a CI engine fueled with cottonseed oil and its blends with diesel fuel
Tizane Daho, Gilles Vaitilingom, Salifou K. Ouiminga, Bruno Piriou, Augustin S. Zongo, Samuel Ouoba, Jean Koulidiati
In this study, favorable conditions to achieve good combustion of cottonseed oil and its blends with diesel fuel in a direct injection diesel engine have been highlighted. This has been performed by analyzing fuel droplet size distribution and determining engine specific fuel consumption and thermal efficiency, combustion parameters (ignition(...)

First report of the fruits flies, Ceratitis quinaria and Ceratitis silvestri, on yellow plum Ximenia americana in Burkina Faso, West Africa
A. BADOLO
Fruits of Ximenia americana provide oil that is used for food and cosmetics. However, oil production potentials are limited by damages caused by the fruit flies. This research focused on the identification of the harmful insects of the ripe fruits of X. americana, the measure of morphometric and demographic parameters. Damages were also determ(...)

BER reduction for mQAM high-speed transmission in optical fiber networks using convolutional, BCH, RS and LDPC error correcting codes
S. R. Sanou, F. Zougmore, Z. Koalaga, M. Kebré
A comparative study of digital m-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (mQAM) channel coding signals for optical high-speed transmission is presented in this article. The needs to transmit information at high speed are topical and relevant to the images, the sounds, and data of any kind, etc. The photonic networks are the subject of much researc(...)

Endémie bilharzienne à Schistosoma mansoni à la vallée du Kou: caractérisation du système de transmission et impact socioéconomique
Noëllie W Kpoda, Herman Sorgho, Jean-Noël Poda, Jean Bosco Ouédraogo, Gustave B Kabré
Les schistosomiases sont sans doute l’une des maladies hydriques à qui profitent le plus les modifications environnementales et comportementales induites par la mobilisation des ressources en eau superficielle dans les pays sahéliens, comme le Burkina Faso. Des études ont établi l’existence des schistosomiases humaines à la vallée du Kou, l’un(...)

Endemic Malagasy Dalbergia species inhibit quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1
M. KIENDREBEOGO
Various species of the plant genus Dalbergia are traditionally used as medicine for sundry ailments and some of them have been shown recently to quench the virulence of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Cell-to-cell communication mechanisms, quorum sensing (QS) in particular, are key regulators of virulence in many pathogenic bacteria.(...)

A Study on the relation between antipatterns and the cost of class unit testing
Aminata Sabané, Massimiliano Di Penta, Giuliano Antoniol, Yann-Gael Gu_eh_eneuc.
Antipatterns are known as recurring, poor design choices, recent and past studies indicated that they negatively affect software systems in terms of understand ability and maintainability, also increasing change-and defect-proneness. For this reason, refactoring actions are often suggested. In this paper, we investigate a different side-effect(...)
