Wild and cultivated biomass supply chain for biofuel production. A comparative study in West Africa
Linda Dominique Fabiola Bambara, Marie Sawadogo. Daniel Roy, Joël Blin, Didier Anciaux, Salifou Koucka Ouiminga
Limited access to energy has led to interest in biofuels in most West African countries where jatropha curcas (Jatropha) has been the most widely studied energy crop. However, due to difficulties in obtaining enough jatropha seed at acceptable costs, Balanites aegyptiaca (B. aegyptiaca) could be an alternative feedstock for biofuel production(...)

IDOMEN: An Extension of Infectious Disease Ontology for MENingitis
W-P. R. C. Béré, G. Camara, S. Malo, M. Lo, S. Ouaro
In sub-Saharan African countries the prevention and control of epidemic diseases requires the improvement of the surveillance system for these diseases. Biomedical ontologies are a growing field that can improve health information systems. Indeed biomedical ontologies allow semantic support, data integration, automated reasoning. We are buildi(...)

Liver retinol estimated by 13C-retinol isotope dilution at 7 versus 14 days in Burkinabe schoolchildren
Jean F Bationo , Augustin N Zeba , Nadine D Coulibaly , Jesse Sheftel , Christopher R Davis , Imael HN Bassole , Nicolas Barro , Jean B Ouedraogo and Sherry A Tanumihardjo
Vitamin A status assessment is not straightforward. Retinol isotope dilution (RID) testing requires time for the tracer dose to mix with the total body stores of vitamin A (TBS). Researchers are interested in shortening the time interval between tracer administration and follow-up blood draws, and in re-examining current assumptions about live(...)

Hemoglobin S and C affect biomechanical membrane properties of P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes
Benjamin Fröhlich, Julia Jäger, Christine Lansche, Cecilia P. Sanchez, Marek Cyrklaff, Bernd Buchholz, Serge Théophile Soubeiga, Jacques Simporé, Hiroaki Ito, Ulrich S. Schwarz, Michael Lanzer, Motomu Tanaka
During intraerythrocytic development, the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum alters the mechanical deformability of its host cell. The underpinning biological processes involve gain in parasite mass, changes in the membrane protein compositions, reorganization of the cytoskeletons and its coupling to the plasma membrane, and formatio(...)

Growth and characterization of WSe2 single crystals usingTeCl4 as transport agent
Moussa Bougouma, Bernard Nisol, Thomas Doneux, Boubié Guel, Tiriana Segato, François Reniers, Marie-Paule Delplancke-Ogletree, Jean B. Legma, Claudine Buess-Herman,
The growth of WSe2 single crystals, using TeCl4 as transport agent was performed successfully from slowly cooled polycrystalline powders as precursors. The resulting single crystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and their surfaces examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) presented fewer defects than single crystals prepar(...)

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer, which in turn is the leading cause of cancer death in women in Africa. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of high-risk HPV infection (HR-HPV) and the distribution of genotypes encountered in the sexually active female population of Ouagadougou. In four(...)

LE RÉCIT À L’ÉPREUVE DE L’ARCHÉOLOGIE : LES CHAMPS DE BATAILLE ET REFUGES DU XIX E SIÈCLE EN PAYS TUSIAN (BURKINA FASO)
COULIBALY Pon Jean-Baptiste
Le XIXe siècle marque un tournant décisif dans l'histoire des Tusian. Les guerres et les razzia qui caractérisent cette période ont marqué durablement les consciences. Mais l’histoire sociale et politique de cette période reste encore méconnue car non écrite. Les rares écrits ne sont que des transcriptions des traditions orales encore vivaces(...)
