Screening of antibiotics residues in beef consumed in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Serge SAMANDOULOUGOU, André Jules ILBOUDO, Touwendsida Serge BAGRE, Fidèle W. TAPSOBA, Aly SAVADOGO, Marie-Louise SCIPPO and Alfred S. TRAORE
The anarchic use of antibiotics for therapeutic purposes or as a growth factor in Burkina Faso’s breeding is the origin of their residues present in consumed meat. These antibiotics residues have health, technological and microbiological consequences. The objective of this first study is to highlight the antibiotic residues in meat consumed in(...)

Land cover change and plants diversity in the Sahel: A case study from northern Burkina Faso
Kadeba A., Nacoulma B.M.I., Ouedraogo A., Bachmann Y., Thiombiano A., Schmidt M., Boussim J.I.
Understanding land cover degradation patterns and the effects of geomorphological units on phytodiversity is important for guiding management decisions and restoration strategies in the Sahelian vulnerables zones. This paper describes land cover degradation by combining Landsat TM image analysis and field data measurements in the Gourouol catc(...)

Theoretical Investigation of Base doping and illumination level effects on a bifacial silicon solar cell.
10.9734/BJAST/2015/1562810.9734/BJAST/2015/15628
In this paper, we are investigating theoretically the behavior of a bifacial silicon solar cell in steady state with different illumination conditions. The bifaciality coefficient and the conversion efficiencyare calculated for various rear side illumination conditions (traduced here by the illumination le(...)

Remainder approach for the computation of digital straight line subsegment characteristics
JSD Ouattara, E Andres, G Largeteau-Skapin, R Zrour, TMY Tapsoba
Given a digital straight line D of known characteristics (a, b, c), and given two arbitrary discrete points A (x a, y a) and B (x b, y b) of it, we are interested in computing the characteristics of the digital straight segment (DSS) of D delimited by the endpoints A and B. Our method is based entirely on the remainder subsequence S={a x− c mo(...)

Microbiological Quality of Surface Water Treated with Moringa oleifera Seeds or Cakes during the Storage: Case Study of Water Reservoirs of Loumbila, Ziga and Ouaga 3 Dams in Burkina Faso
Kabore Aminata, Savadogo Boubacar, Otoidobiga C.Harmonie, Sawadogo Adama, Rosillon Francis, Traore S. Alfred, Dianou Dayéri
Water purification with Moringa oleifera seeds has received a lot of attention because it reduces water turbidity and pathogenic microorganisms. However, it is important to define the optimum conditions of storage to preserve the treated water quality. The study aims to investigate microbial quality of water treated with Moringa oleifera seeds(...)

Le syndrome des brides amniotiques et ses difficultés diagnostiques et de prise en charge au Burkina Faso
Kisito Nagalo, Roger Badiel, Fla Kouéta, François Housséini Tall, Diarra Yé
Résumé Le syndrome des brides amniotiques est une embryo-foetopathie rare, d'étiopathogénie encore inconnue, caractérisé par des malformations crânio-faciales, thoraco-abdominales, des membres et des extrémités. Afin de discuter des difficultés diagnostiques et thérapeutiques du syndrome des brides amniotiques, nous rapportons cinq cas de ce s(...)

Effect of land degradation on carbon and nitrogen pools in two soil types of a semi-arid landscape in West Africa
S. TRAORE
To determine the resilience of soil organic C and N pools during land degradation processes in a semi-arid landscape of West Africa, we compared the magnitude of soil organic C and N differences in bulk soil and aggregate fractions between contrasting types of land cover (degraded land and native land cover) and soil (Luvisols and Cambisols).(...)

Distribution et usages des Ampelocissus dans la zone de Donia au sud du Tchad
Mberdoum Memti NGUINAMBAYE, Rasmata NANA, Elisée MBAYNGONE, Alain Ignassou DJINET, Badoua BADIEL et Zoumbiéssé TAMINI
Cette étude a consisté à faire l’inventaire des espèces du genre Ampelocissus à Donia dans le sud du Tchad, à déterminer leur distribution, leurs usages et de caractériser la flore ligneuse. Des prospections ont été faites et à la suite, des placettes ont été disposées dans les sites d’occurrence du taxon pour des relevés floristiques. A cet e(...)

Hemoglobin S and C affect protein export in Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes
Nicole Kilian, Sirikamol Srismith, Martin Dittmer, Djeneba Ouermi, Cyrille Bisseye, Jacques Simporé, Marek Cyrklaff, Cecilia P Sanchez, Michael Lanzer
Malaria is a potentially deadly disease. However, not every infected person develops severe symptoms. Some people are protected by naturally occurring mechanisms that frequently involve inheritable modifications in their hemoglobin. The best studied protective hemoglobins are the sickle cell hemoglobin (HbS) and hemoglobin C (HbC) which both r(...)

Entropy solution for doubly nonlinear elliptic anisotropic problems with Robin boundary conditions.
I. Ibrango, S. Ouaro
We study in this paper nonlinear anisotropic problems with Robin boundary conditions. We prove, by using the technic of monotone operators in Banach spaces, the existence of a sequence of weak solutions of approximation problems associated with the anisotropic Robin boundary value problem. For the existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions,(...)

Traditional plant use in Burkina Faso (West Africa): a national-scale analysis with focus on traditional medicine
Alexander Zizka, Adjima Thiombiano, Stefan Dressler, Blandine MI Nacoulma, Amadé Ouédraogo, Issaka Ouédraogo, Oumarou Ouédraogo, Georg Zizka, Karen Hahn, Marco Schmidt
The West African country of Burkina Faso (BFA) is an example for the enduring importance of traditional plant use today. A large proportion of its 17 million inhabitants lives in rural communities and strongly depends on local plant products for their livelihood. However, literature on traditional plant use is still scarce and a comprehensive(...)
