Evaluation of the physicochemical parameters of edible oilssold in the three cities of Burkina Faso
Kabakdé Kaboré, Kiéssoun Konaté, Hemayoro Sama, Roger Dakuyo, Abdoudramane Sanou, David Bazié, Mamounata Diao, Mamoudou Hama Dicko
The edible oil needs of African countries are met by imported or locally producedones. Therefore, consumers are generally confronted with a choice of edible oils ofpoorly controlled quality. However, quality control of edible oils for local consumptionis of high necessity. This study aimed to assess the quality of edible oils sold and con-sume(...)

Impact of the Thicknesses of the p and p+ Regions on the Electrical Parameters of a Bifacial PV Cell
Ramatou Konate, Bernard Zouma, Adama Ouedraogo, Bruno Korgo
The present paper is about a contribution to the bifacial PV cell performances improvement. The PV cell efficiency is weak compared to the strong energy demand. In this study, the base thickness impacts and the p+ zone size infl u-ence are evaluated on the rear face of the polycrystalline back surface field bi-facial silicon PV cell. The p(...)

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(...)

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(...)

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(...)
