Ella W R Compaoré, Michel Eric W Kiemdé, Tiatou Souho, Ousmane Ouedraogo, Virginio Pietra, Koffi Agbokou, Noel Zagre, Kou'santa Emile Amouzou, Mamoudou H Dicko
Background and aims: Even if under-five children mortality tends to decrease considerably in developed countries, it remains a major concern in Sub-Saharan Africa. The purpose of the present study is to assess causes of healthcare discontinuation and factors associated with mortality among severe acute malnourished children under five years ol(...)

Allometric models for improving aboveground biomass estimates in West African savanna ecosystems
Moussa Ganamé, Philippe Bayen, Issaka Ouédraogo, Larba Hubert Balima, Adjima Thiombiano
West African Sudanian savanna ecosystems greatly contribute to local peoples’ livelihoods and climate change mitigation. Yet, the contribution of these ecosystems to carbon storage remains poorly documented due to the lack of accurate biomass predictive tools. Therefore, biomass allometric models developed at both the species-level and site-le(...)

There is a high prevalence of blood-borne infections in West Africa. This study
sought to determine the seroprevalence of blood-borne infections, including
hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), HIV, and syphilis, in blood
donors in Burkina Faso. Blood donors were recruited from 2009 to 2013 in four
major cities in Burkina F(...)

High-throughput genomic markers provide an opportunity to assess important indica- tors of genetic diversity for populations managed in livestock breeding programs. While well-structured breeding programs are common in developed countries, in developing country situations, especially in West Africa, on-farm performance and pedigree re- cording(...)

Assessment of different sands potentiality to formulate an effective thermal energy storage material (TESM)
Bagré Boubou , Muritala Ibrahim Kolawole, Boukar Makinta, Daho Tizane, Nebié Jacques,Rabani Adamou, Béré Antoine
This paper presents a review of solid particles size effect on thermocline storage performance for Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) storage systems. After an overview on the different process to store thermal energy we found that a particle size of 2cm diameter is better to achieve a good sensible heat storage performance within a system call d(...)

Anti-quorum sensing and anti-biofilm activities of Securidaca longepedunculata Fresen, an endangered species from Burkina Faso
ssa Karama, Vincent Ouedraogo, Ablassé Rouamba, Moussa Compaoré and Martin Kiendrebeogo
The emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a serious challenge to the global health system. The QS inhibition is one of the approaches to fight against antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Securidaca longepedunculata is a medicinal plant that roots are the only organ used against microbial diseases. This species is threatened with e(...)

Experimental Study of a Stationary Hot Air Solar Collector Built with Hemispherical Concentrators and Enhanced with Fresnel Lenses
Thierry S. M. Ky, Salifou Ouedraogo, Moctar Ousmane, Boureima Dianda, Emmanuel Ouedraogo and Dieudonné J. Bathiebo
Aims: This paper is about a solar collector made of hemispherical concentrators. This collector is sun tracking free, and used for natural convection. Lenses are used on top of each concentrator to improve its efficiency. Study Design: The Solar collector is made of hemispherical Concentrators with Fresnel lenses axially-centered to those conc(...)

Water Resources in the Sahel and Adaptation of Agriculture to Climate Change: Burkina Faso
Babacar Lèye, Cheick Oumar Zouré, Roland Yonaba and Harouna Karambiri
In West Africa, a shift in climate conditions since the 1970s is evidenced by a decrease in average annual rainfall and an increase in temperatures between 1931–1960 and 1968–1990. The latter period was followed by a rainfall recovery since the late 1990s in the western Sahel. The prolonged rainfall deficits of the twentieth century have, howe(...)

Occurrence, behaviour and environmental risk assessment of trace metals in stream sediments from southwestern Burkina Faso, West Africa.
Aboubakar Sako, Mamadou Nimi, Sâga Sawadogo, Abdoul-Azize Kafohé Héma
In this study, the influence of source area weathering and provenance on the stream sediment geochemistry as well as the environmental impacts of selected potentially toxic trace elements (PTE) were evaluated. Four components derived from the R-mode factor analysis of additive logratio-transformed data pointed to the combined influence of weat(...)

DIFFERENTIAL AND COMPARATIVE SCREENING OF COWPEA VARIETIES TO Striga gesnerioides (WILLD.) VATKE FOR RACE SPECIFIC IDENTIFICATION IN BURKINA FASO

Significant efforts have been made to develop cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) varieties resistant to Striga gesnerioides in Burkina Faso. Despite these efforts, the resistant genotypes developed still express differential responses to Striga gesnerioides in different zones of the country. This suggests existence of intraspecific var(...)

The determination of physical parameters such as effective temperature, surface gravity, luminosity, and radius of a star requires an adequate analysis of its spectroscopic readings. In this paper, the main aim is to determine the physical parameters of the star HD149382 from its spectrum. Our indirect method consists in determining the half-h(...)

Sterilization methods of liposomes: Drawbacks of conventional methods and perspectives
Kouka Luc Delma, Anna Lechanteur, Brigitte Evrard, Rasmané Semdé, Géraldine Piel
Liposomes are targeted drug delivery systems that are of great pharmaceutical and therapeutic interest.
Parenteral route is the main way used for liposome administration. In this case, their sterility is a requirement.
However, due to the particular sensitivity of liposomes and their tendency to physicochemical alterations, their
sterilizat(...)
