On the Palindromic Complexity of Words by Substitution of Letter Power in Modulo-recurrent Words
K. Ernest Bognini, Moussa Barro and Boucaré Kientéga
Let us consider a modulo-recurrent word and an integer k ≥ 1. In steps of k, we substitute one letter of this word by a
power of letter. Then, we obtain a new family of words derived from modulo-recurrent words. After giving the expressions
of the classic complexity functions of these words, we give a necessary condition for a factor of the(...)

ANALYSIS AND OPTIMAL CONTROL OF A FRACTIONAL TUBERCULOSIS MODEL
Ali TRAORE, Hamadoum DICKO, Rosaire OUEDRAOGO
A fractional model is developed to study the transmission dynamics of tu- berculosis disease. The use of a fractional model provides a memory effect and long-term dynamics often observed in chronic infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, which is charac- terized by a prolonged incubation period and risks of reactivation. The basic reproducti(...)

Heritability and allelic relationship of Fusarium wilt resistance genes in cowpea genotypes cultivated in Burkina Faso
Kiswendsida Issaka Sam, Tiéyoué Benoit Joseph Batieno, Karidiatou Traoré, Zakaria Dieni, Yannick Bassole, W. P. Félicien Marie Serge Zida, Abdou-Kader Congo, Ibié Gilles Thio, Jean Baptiste Tignégré, Bouma James Néya, P. Elisabeth Zida, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo1
Cowpea is an important legume crop to farmers as a food, fodder, agronomic, and income-generating crop. Despite these multiple advantages, cowpea cultivation faces enormous abiotic and biotic constraints, including fungal diseases such as Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc. One of the control measures for this disease, which(...)

Effects of Spacing Between Stone-Rows on the Chemical and Biological Fertility of Lixisoils in Eastern Burkina Faso
Aboubacar COULIBALY, Koulibi Fidèle ZONGO, Cheick Oumar ZOURE, Altini Natacha GOUMBRI, Daouda GUEBRE, Harouna OUEDRAOGO, Edmond HIEN and Mikael MOTELLICA
This study assessed the effects of stone-rows spacing on soil fertility and the potential for a fertility gradient to occur in a farming setting. The study was conducted in a rural area of Sampieri, eastern Burkina Faso, within a Sudano-Sahelian environment on Lixisols with a medium slope of up to 5%. The experimental design included three plo(...)

Anemia in Children Aged 6–59 Months: Inequalities Across the 45 Provinces and 342 Communes of Burkina Faso
Hervé Bassinga, Mady Ouedraogo, Karim Ouattara, Matè Alonyenyo Labité & Moussa Coulibaly
Burkina Faso is said to have the highest prevalence of childhood anemia in sub-Saharan Africa. In 2021, approximately seven out of ten children aged 6–59 months (72%) suffered from anemia, with 29% in the mild form, 40% in the moderate form, and 2% in the severe form. Knowing the administrative units at extremely fine levels most affected by t(...)

Large Language Models Adaptation for Web Applications Attacks Detection
Nana Sidwendluian Romaric, Bassolé Didier, Guel Désiré, Sié Oumarou
Large Language Models (LLMs) represent a major advance in the field of deep learning. Their ability to understand long-term dependencies between words in a sentence has completely revolutionized natural language processing. Based on the architecture of transformers, LLMs are trained to solve common linguistic problems, such as text classificat(...)

Sensitive electrochemical determination of sunset yellow in soft drinks using geopolymer-modified carbon paste electrode
Raïssa Tagueu Massah, Amidou Tall, Boukaré Kaboré, Yssouf Karanga, Wendwaoga Ibrango, Lynn Myllyam Beleuk à Moungam, Evangeline Njanja, Issa Tapsoba, Ignas Kenfack Tonle
A volcanic ash-based geopolymer (GPVA) was used to design an electrochemical sensor for the determination of sunset yellow (SY) in nonalcoholic juices. After the preparation and characterization of the geopolymer material, it was used to modify a carbon paste electrode (GPVA-CPE). The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) characterizati(...)

1.1. Introduction
A major hepatectomy is defined as the resection of at least three liver segments. Most often carried out as part of the treatment of a malignant liver tumor, it still causes significant morbidity and mortality.
1.2. Objective
To report the morbidity and survival of patients who underwent major hepatectomy in the hepatobili(...)

Are freshwater stoneflies (Plecoptera) endangered in the West African Sahel region?
IDRISSA KABORE, ADAMA OUEDA, OTTO MOOG, ANDREAS MELCHER
Stoneflies are valuable indicators of ecological health and play a crucial role in maintaining the biodiversity of West Africa, but the research on Stoneflies species are still very insipid and sparse. By understanding their distribution patterns, we can develop effective strategies to conserve these important insects and ensure the sustainabi(...)
