NUMERICAL STUDY OF HEAT AND MASS EVAPORATION-BASED BASED TRANSFERS IN A LARGE DIMENSION RESERVOIR: THE INFLUENCE OF METEOROLOGICAL PARAMETERS AND RAYLEIGH
BAYALA Alfred1, TUBREOUMYA G. Christian3, BORO Drissa1, IMBIDA B. Kossi1, BADO Nebon1, ZEGHMATI Belkasem2, KIENO P. Florent1 and BATHIEBO Joseph
A numerical study of heat and mass transfers in a large water reservoir is presented. This water reservoir is being considered as a parallelepiped tank which vertical and lower walls are adiabatic and impermeable. The equations that govern the natural convection in water are solved using the finite volume method and Thomas algorithm. The adequ(...)

Private and public investment in sub-Saharan Africa: The role of instability risks
Ouédraogo, Rasmané & Sawadogo, Relwendé & Sawadogo, Hamidou
This paper explores the impact of public investment on private investment in sub-Saharan Africa using the finite mixture model. We argue that the impact of public investment on private investment differs across groups of countries with similar but unobserved characteristics. Contrary to previous studies, the paper incorporates the potential pr(...)

Temperature Effect on Light Concentration Silicon Solar Cell’s Operating Point and Conversion Efficiency
Mahamadi Savadogo, Boubacar Soro, Ramatou Konate, Idrissa Sourabié, Martial Zoungrana, Issa Zerbo, Dieudonné Joseph Bathiebo
It is well known that temperature acts negatively on practically all the parameters of photovoltaic solar cells. Also, the solar cells which are subjected to particularly very high temperatures are the light concentration solar cells and are used in light concentration photovoltaic systems (CPV). In fact, the significant heating of these solar(...)

Abstract: In West Africa, Aedes aegypti remains the major vector of dengue virus. Since 2013, dengue
fever has been reemerging in Burkina Faso with annual outbreaks, thus becoming a major public
health problem. Its control relies on vector control, which is unfortunately facing the problem of
insecticide resistance. At the time of this stud(...)

The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the promoter region of MMP-1 (at 1607 bp) and MMP-3 (at 1171 bp) create Ets binding sites. Correlations between these SNPs and sensitivity to several biological processes such as metastasis and recurrence of cancer have been reported in several studies.
In this case-control study, we looked for thes(...)

Arsenic removal with zero-valent iron filters in Burkina Faso: Field and laboratory insights
Anja Bretzler, Julien Nikiema, Franck Lalanne, Lisa Hoffmann, Jagannath Biswakarma, Luc Siebenaller, David Demange, Mario Schirmer, Stephan J. Hug
Groundwater contaminated with geogenic arsenic (As) is frequently used as drinking water in Burkina Faso, despite adverse health effects. This study focused on testing low-cost filter systems based on zero-valent iron (ZVI), which have not yet been explored in West Africa for As removal. The active ZVI bed was constructed using small sized iro(...)
