The aim of this study was to determine the technological properties of sorghum and millet malt produced
under controlled conditions in Burkina Faso. Two types of steeping were carried out: steeping at normal pH (6.5)
and at alkaline pH (8). Analyzes of the functional properties (diastatic power, alpha and beta amylase activity) of
the sampl(...)

Performance Assessment of a Box Type Solar Cooker Using Jatropha Oil as a Heat Storage Material
Jacques Nébié, Sidiki Zongo, Guy C. Tubreoumya, Augustin S. Zongo, Ilyassé Konkobo, Boubou Bagré, Ali Diané, Tizane Daho, Serges W. Igo, Belkacem Zeghmati, Antoine Béré
Solar cookers are a good option in developing countries with high solar potential for environmentally friendly cooking and reduced pressure on forests. However, they are still affected by the intermittency of the sun. In order to overcome this problem, in this work, a box type solar cooker integrated Jatropha oil as a heat storage material is(...)

Local perception of ecosystem services and their conservation in Sudanian savannas of Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Nabaloum, Assetou, Goetze, Dethardt, Ouédraogo Amadé, Porembski Stefan, Thiombinao Adjima
Context
In Burkina Faso, Sudanian savannas are important ecosystems for conservation of plant diversity. Due to desertification and insecurity, population migration from the North has increased human density and anthropogenic pressure on southern savannas. This study aims to investigate knowledge of local populations on ecosystem services (ES(...)

A Temporal Case-Based Reasoning Platform Relying on a Fuzzy Vector Spaces Object-Oriented Model and a Method to Design Knowledge Bases and Decision Support Systems in Multiple Domains
Joël Colloc. Relwendé Aristide Yameogo. Peter Summons. Lilian Loubet. Jean-Bernard Cavelier. Paul Bridier
Knowledge bases in complex domains must take into account many attributes describing numerous objects that are themselves components of complex objects. Temporal case-based reasoning (TCBR) requires comparing the structural evolution of component objects and their states (attribute values) at different levels of granularity. This paper provide(...)

Design and Thermal Behavior Analysis of a Plan Air Solar Collector
Salmwende Eloi Tiendrebeogo1, 2, *, Tubreoumya Guy Christian1 , Kafando Guetinsom Jean1 , Nana Bernard1, 2, Kere Moumini2 , Dissa Alfa Oumar1 , Koulidiati Jean1 , Bere Antoine1
In order to find heat production techniques for drying and heating applications of premises in tropical climates from
process characterization studies, a flat air collector with air and forced convection was first designed. A simulation of solar
radiation, thermal behavior of the solar collector and an experimental test of the latter were(...)

Paleoproterozoic collision tectonics in West Africa: Insights into the geodynamics of continental growth
Kalidou Traoré, Dominique Chardon, Séta Naba, Ousmane Wane, Mamadou Lamine Bouaré
In order to decipher the collision processes between the Eburnean (Paleoproterozoic) accretionary orogen and its flanking Archean craton, photointerpretation was combined with the extraction of structural data from geological quadrangle maps to draw the structural pattern of the southern West African craton. This pattern reveals multi-scale tr(...)

Waste electrical and electronic equipments as urban mines in Burkina Faso: Characterization and release of metal particles
Francis O. Konaté, Philippe Ancia, Fousseni Soma, Moussa Bougouma, Claudine Buess-Herman, Arsène H. Yonli, Véronique Vitry
Like other developing countries, Burkina Faso is one of the preferential destinations for second-hand electrical and electronic equipments (EEE). At the end of their life, these EEEs are classified as waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) including Printed Circuit Boards (PCB). A particle size reduction is realized for the release o(...)

Revealing social vulnerability profiles for urban flood management: the case of Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)
DA Mwingnè Laure Carolle, Hangnon Hugues, Amalric Marion , Nikiema Aude, Robert Elodie et Bonnet Emmanuel
The inhabitants of the city of Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, suffer significant damage every year due to floods, which constitute a major risk for the country. To mitigate the impact of these phenomena, a good understanding of the criteria involved in the vulnerability of populations is necessary.
This article sets out to analyse(...)
