Landform-regolith Map of the Central Goren Greenstone Belt, Burkina Faso
Benjamin Sawadogo ; Dominique Chardon ; Ousmane Bamba
The map is based on extensive fieldwork and complementary photo-interpretation. Field mapping was undertaken at 1:10 000 scale on the basis of a Lidar digital elevation model converted into topographic sheets with 1-m contours. Coverage of the study area required 60 days of fieldwork during the years 2017 and 2018. Around 300 km of itinerary w(...)

In Burkina Faso, meningitis is epidemic, pneumococcus, meningococcus and Haemophilus influenzae are the most implicated. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of ABM characterized by PCR and culture in order to highlight the low yield of the culture. This is a prospective study on 26 health districts of surveillance between 2016 a(...)

Neural Machine Translation for Mooré, a Low-Resource Language
Hamed Joseph Ouily, Aminata Sabane, Delwende Eliane Birba, Rodrique Kafando, Abdoul Kader Kabore, Tegawende F. Bissyandé
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence with the goal of enabling machines to understand human language. Neural Machine Translation (NMT) is one of the many applications of NLP and allows for the translation of a source language into a target language. NMT has made significant progress in recent years. However,(...)

MULTIPLICITY OF HETEROCLINIC SOLUTIONS FOR THE DISCRETE p(k)-LAPLACE KIRCHHOFF TYPE EQUATIONS WITH A PARAMETER
Moussa Brahim, Nyanquini Ismaël, Ouaro Stanislas
In this paper, we prove the existence of at least one and at least two nontrivial heteroclinic solutions for the discrete p(k)-Laplace Kirchhoff type equations depending on a parameter. The proof of our main result is based on a local minimum theorem for differentiable functionals due to Ricceri and on the mountain pass theorem of P. Pucci and(...)

Supporting of biodiversity in Sahelian arid areas: Case of artificial lakes and macroinvertebrates
Idrissa KABORÉ , Victor BANCÉ and Rimwaodo Pierre SILGA
Protecting biodiversity is one of the challenges for achieving sustainable development. This protection requires a good knowledge of species richness and their habitats. It is why this study was conducted. It aimed to assess the diversity of macroinvertebrates in five artificial waterbodies, in order to determine their role in conserving biodi(...)

Analysis of the nutritional composition and organization of school meals in the province of Kadiogo in Burkina Faso: challenges and prospects
Compaore W. R. Ella Marie Michèle, OUEDRAOGO Ousmane, TIATOU Souho, BENGALY Marcel D., SIMPORE Mamouna P. , DICKO Mamoudou H.
Face aux pénuries alimentaires et à la précarité, les repas scolaires sont un moyen efficace d'encourager les élèves à fréquenter l'école et à y rester, et de lutter contre les carences nutritionnelles. Malheureusement, il existe des goulets d'étranglement à identifier et à résoudre.
L’objectif de l’étude était d’analyser la composition des r(...)

Monitoring the Air-fuel Ratio (AFR) of a Biomass Gasification Process with an Arduino Uno 3 and a Narrow Band Lambda Oxygen Sensor
Hamidou Salou a*, Nzihou Jean Fidele b , Zoundi Ousmane b , Ouattara Frederic b and Segda Bila Gerard c
The Air-Fuel Ratio is one of the keys parameters for driving the gasification process. Monitoring of oxygen percentage in flue gases is one of various ways of controlling efficiency and emissions of industrial combustion. Biomass gasification is a thermochemical degradation of the biomass that is accomplished with the Air-Fuel Ratio less than(...)
