TRAUMATISME CRANIO-CERVICO-FACIALE INSOLITE PAR MORSURE DE CROCODILE
Millogo M, Idani Motandi, Zegbeh-N’guessan E K, Zango A, Badini S P A, Konsem T.
Introduction : Les agressions humaines par des animaux sauvages sont rares et souvent dramatiques. Parmi les animaux agresseurs de l’homme, le crocodile se singularise par
la puissance impressionnante de ses mâchoires qui laissent très peu de chance de survie à la proie qu’il parvient à saisir. Les lésions par morsure de crocodile intéressent(...)

Towards a Framework for the Preparation of High Quality Data for Use by Machine Learning Algorithms
Nabi, R., Traoré, Y., Thiombiano, J.
Nowadays, companies and organizations have access to various data collection tools that enable them to amass vast amounts of data, which can be stored in databases. This data can be leveraged by machine learning algorithms to extract valuable information for decision-makers. However, this raw data is often of poor quality, containing errors su(...)

CONTROLLABILITY OF A STOCHASTIC MODEL OF LYMPHATIC FILARIASIS
Ragnimwendé SAWADOGO, Victorien KONANE
This paper analyzes the controllability of a stochastic model of lymphatic filariasis. Like other
diseases, the spread of lymphatic filariasis is subject to a degree of randomness due to fluctuations in
the natural environment. This provides an opportunity to formulate a mathematical model of lymphatic
filariasis that accounts for as much e(...)

Bossila Séraphin Hien, Loyapin Bondé, Mohamed Mahamoud Charahabil, Sié Sylvestre Da, Joseph Issaka Boussim, Oumarou Ouédraogo
Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir. is a leguminous tree species with huge forage value. It is subjected to heavy pruning pressure in dry season for livestock feeding, resulting in yearly decline of forage production and vulnerability of the species which is currently classified as endangered species. This study aimed at: (i) identifying factors influ(...)
