APPLYING FISHER’S AND STUDENT’S LAWS IN PROBABILITY DENSITY FUNCTION CALCULATION METHODS
LOYARA Vini Yves Bernadin, OUOBA Fabrice et BAGRE Rémi Guillaume
The purpose of this paper is to discover a method for creating joint distributions that establishes a solid foundation for a new distribution model. The technique used to design a joint distribution is through the use of the mathematical expectation of an application with two variables. We obtain new joint probability density functions using t(...)

Name, Pakyendou E., Ezechiel B. Tibiri, Fidèle Tiendrébéogo, Seydou Sawadogo, Florencia Djigma, Lassina Traoré, Angela O. Eni, and Justin S. Pita.
Sweetpotato is a key staple crop in tropical and subtropical regions. Its vegetative propagation makes it a persistent reservoir, facilitating the emergence and spread of complex infections. Understanding its virome is crucial for disease management and food security. We investigated the sweetpotato virome in Burkina Faso using rolling circle(...)

W. Nadembega, Florencia W. Djigma, Jacques Simpore
Background Aims: The leading mammary cancer in Burkina Faso, breast cancer has a variety of origins. In fact, an alteration
in the MAP3K14 [GenBank: NC_000017.11, ID: 9020] and CD40 [GenBank: NC_000020.11, ID: 958] genes can lead to the
development of breast cancer. The goal of this study is to highlight the possible involvement of the polym(...)

Nonlinear Effects of Trade Integration on Foreign Direct Investment in Sub‐Saharan Africa
Kolo Nebie, Idrissa Ouedraogo, Relwendé Sawadogo
This research analyses the effects of trade integration on foreign direct investment (FDI) in a dynamic panel of 30 sub‐Saharan African countries over the period 2002–2022. It uses the Pull and Push factors model, which is estimated by the two‐step system generalized method of moments. The results show that trade integration fosters FDI. Howev(...)

Influence of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh on the growth, productivity and physiology of three associated crops in the Sudano‑Sahelian zone of Burkina Faso, West Africa
Boukary Soro, Hugues Roméo Bazié, Paulin Bazié, Sotongo Abraham Ouédraogo, Boblwendé Gildas Flavien Sawadogo, Jules Bayala
employing a tree effect gradient called a gradient based design with 4–7 replications for cowpea, millet, and sorghum. The experimental design included three plot locations based on their proximity to the eucalyptus trunk: one directly under the crown, another centred at 11 m, and a control plot situated 22 m away. Various parameters, such as(...)

Thermal and Mechanical Analysis of Clay Bricks Stabilized with Peanut Shells
Allassane Inamé, Boureima Dianda, Traoré Damus Abdoul Aziz, Lareba Adélaïde Ouedraogo, Ki Mibienpan and Kabérou Abdoulaye
In Burkina Faso, people used non-ecological matérial such as concrete, cement to build their houses.This type of house increases energy consumption.To resolve this problem, some techniques like earth bricks are used to solve this problem. This study aims to stabilize Kounda clay blocks using peanut shells, with the goal of producing durable an(...)

Anthropological consideration on prevalence and fitness of β C and β S genotypes in Burkina Faso (a survey in the public schools)
Simpore J., Pignatelli S., Melis P. & Musumeci S.
We have studied To study the incidence of hemoglobinopathies (Hb C and Hb S) we have examined in 15,367 students, aged 11.4+/−4.64 years (median 11; range 1–26), living in Burkina Faso (12,019 were students of 23 public schools of Ouagadougou and 3348 students of 7 public schools situated in six villages about 12–35 Km from Ouagadougou).

Effect of Azadirachta Indica A. Juss (Neem) on the Growth, Physiology and Yields of Associated Crops in Agroecosystems in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Burkina Faso, West Africa
Boukary Soro, Hugues Roméo Bazié, Paulin Bazié, Boblwendé Gildas Flavien Sawadogo, Sotongo Abraham Ouédraogo, and Gérard Zombré
Neem is an exotic species used for reforestation, but its competitive effects on surrounding crops have not been thoroughly explored in Burkina Faso. This research aimed to assess the effect of neem on cowpea, millet, and sorghum within agroecosystems in Burkina Faso. The experimental design involved systematically allocating treatments based(...)

Determination of the Moisture and Mineral Contents in Selected Infant Flour Sold at Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Mètuor-Dabiré Amana, Konate Kiessoun, Adama Djeneba, Simpore Jacques;
Child malnutrition is one of the major causes of public health and social welfare problems in developing countries. It is manifested by micronutrient deficiency. Indeed, nutritional deficits are particularly severe in children from 6 to 24 months, when their nutritional needs exceed what they can get from breast milk. To help improve the nutri(...)

Indoor Air Pollution from Solid Fuel Use: Sources and Assessment Methods – A Literature Review
Lucmane Koala, Kayaba Haro, Gounkaou Woro Yomi, Bernard Nana, Ousmane Coulibaly, Issoufou Ouarma, Tizane Daho, Oumar Sanogo, and Antoine Béré
This paper examines the causes of deteriorating indoor air quality and the various methods of studying air pollutant emissions associated with the use of solid fuel stoves. Indoor air quality has long received less attention than outdoor air quality, despite the fact that most people spend more time indoors in buildings with higher pollution l(...)

In this study, we simulated the thermal behavior of the mud-brick walls of a Nubian vault. We used EnergyPlus software for the simulation. The results obtained showed that the indoor temperature varies from 25.5 °C to 26.5 °C for the period of January 2018 . It varies from 33.2 °C to 33.6 °C with an average value of 33.1 °C for the month of Ap(...)

Effect of irrigation patterns on agrophysiological responses of rice varieties in Burkina Faso
Salifou Kaboré , Dominique Nikiéma , Hugues R. Bazié, Adama P. Kihindo, Yapi I. Sinaré, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo and Gérard Zombré
Rice is a staple food worldwide and ranks fourth in dietary importance in Burkina Faso. However, national production remains insufficient to meet rising demand due
to inadequate rainfall, a critical constraint for this water-intensive crop. Water-efficient irrigation systems offer a promising solution to address water scarcity and improve

Applications of stable cellular automata on Sturmian words
Moussa Barro, K. Ernest Bognini and Boucaré Kientéga
In this paper, we generalize the study of some class of cellular automata (CA) preserving stability, called stable cellular automata (SCA) on Sturmian words. After establishing the classic complexity of obtained words by these SCA, their special factors are also specified. Next, we prove that their palindromic complexity is 1 or 2. Finally, we(...)
